PIZZA INN HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Pizza Inn Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2014.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim periods reflected.  Except as noted, all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  Results of operations for the fiscal periods presented are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year-end results.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned.  All appropriate intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Fiscal Quarters
The three month periods ended September 28, 2014 and September 29, 2013, each contained 13 weeks.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable.  The Company's Norco division sells food and supplies to franchisees on trade accounts under terms common in the industry.  Food and supply sales revenues, including shipping and handling costs, are recognized upon delivery of the product. Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized when food and beverage products are sold. The Company reports revenue net of sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental taxing authorities.

Franchise revenue consists of income from license fees, royalties, and area development and foreign master license fees. License fees are recognized as income when there has been substantial performance under the agreement by the Company.  Domestic license fees are generally recognized at the time the restaurant is opened.  Foreign master license fees are generally recognized upon execution of the agreement as all material services relating to the sale have been substantially performed by the Company and the fee has been collected.  Royalties are recognized as income when earned.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options using the fair value recognition provisions of the authoritative guidance on share-based payments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes formula to estimate the value of stock-based compensation for options granted to employees and directors and expects to continue to use this acceptable option valuation model in the future.  The authoritative guidance also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow.

Use of Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect its reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent liabilities.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other various assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances.  Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and actual results could differ materially from estimates.
6


Reclassification
Certain items have been reclassified in the prior year financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

(2) Long-Term Debt

On August 28, 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “F&M Loan Agreement”) with The F&M Bank & Trust Company (“F&M”) providing for a $2.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $500 thousand letter of credit subfacility), a $2.0 million fully funded term loan facility and a $6.0 million advancing term loan facility.  An origination fee of 0.5% of the total credit facilities was paid at closing.  At closing, F&M funded a $2.0 million term loan payable in 48 equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest at a fixed rate of 4.574% per annum.  Amounts repaid under this fully funded term loan may not be reborrowed.  Initial proceeds from the F&M Loan Agreement were used to repay amounts borrowed under a previous credit facility that subsequently was canceled.

On June 13, 2013 the Company entered into a First Amendment to the F&M Loan Agreement that revised certain financial covenants to address proceeds from the Company’s at-the-market offering of common stock.  On September 10, 2013 the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the F&M Loan Agreement that specified the application of prepayments to the loan amortization schedule and revised certain definitions.

The Company could borrow, repay and reborrow under the revolving credit facility through August 28, 2014, at which time all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility matured. The Company did not draw borrowings on the revolving credit facility during fiscal 2014 and has allowed it to expire.  An unused commitment fee of 0.50% per annum was payable quarterly on the average unused portion of the revolving credit facility.

Through August 28, 2014, F&M had agreed to make up to $6.0 million in additional term loans to the Company.    However, no amounts were outstanding on the advancing term loan facility at the expiration of the advance period.  As of September 28, 2014, the balance on the initial term loan facility was also paid in full.  As a result, the F&M loan Agreement has expired by its terms.

(3) Commitments and Contingencies

On April 22, 2009, the Company’s board of directors amended the stock purchase plan first adopted on May 23, 2007, and previously amended on June 2, 2008, to increase the number of shares of common stock the Company may repurchase to a total of 3,016,000 shares.  As of September 28, 2014, up to an additional 848,425 shares could be purchased under the plan.

The Company is subject to various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of its business.  The Company believes that all such claims and actions currently pending against it are either adequately covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s annual results of operations, cash flows or financial condition if decided in a manner that is unfavorable to the Company.

(4) Stock-Based Compensation

For the quarter ended September 28, 2014, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $22,500.  As of September 28, 2014, unamortized stock-based compensation expense was $0.4 million.

The following table summarizes the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to outstanding stock options:

For the three months ended September 28, 2014, options to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.16 were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the options’ exercise price exceeded the average market price of the common shares for the period.

(6) Closed restaurants and discontinued operations

The authoritative guidance on “ Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” requires that discontinued operations that meet certain criteria be reflected in the statement of operations after results of continuing operations as a net amount.  This guidance also requires that the operations of closed restaurants, including any impairment charges, be reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
8


The authoritative guidance on “ Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred.  This authoritative guidance also establishes that fair value is the objective for initial measurement of the liability.

Discontinued operations reflect losses from two Company-owned Pizza Inn locations in Texas.  These losses were attributable to leasehold expense associated with a restaurant closed during fiscal 2008 and operating results for a restaurant closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

(7) Income Taxes

For the three month period ended September 28, 2014, income tax benefit of $0.1 million was calculated on an effective income tax rate that is consistent with the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% adjusted for state income tax effects and permanent difference items. Management believes that future operations will generate sufficient taxable income, along with the reversal of temporary differences, to fully realize the net deferred tax asset of $2.0 million.
(8) Segment Reporting

Summarized in the following tables are net sales and operating revenues, operating income and geographic information (revenues) for the Company’s reportable segments for the three months ended September 28, 2014 and September 29, 2013 (in thousands).  Operating income reported below excludes income tax provision and discontinued operations.

Domestic restaurants are located predominantly in the southern half of the United States, with Texas, North Carolina, Arkansas and Tennessee accounting for approximately 33%, 14%, 12% and 7%, respectively, of the total number of domestic restaurants.  International restaurants are located in seven foreign countries.
Basic and diluted income per common share increased $0.01 to a loss of $0.03 per share for the three month period ended September 28, 2014 compared to a loss of $0.04 per share in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.  The Company had a net loss for the three month period ended September 28, 2014 of $0.3 million compared to a net loss of $0.4 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, on revenues of $11.3 million for the three month period ended September 28, 2014 compared to $10.1 million in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.  The increase in net income from prior year was primarily due to higher revenue earned from restaurant sales, franchising and food and supply sales and a reduction in pre-opening expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three month period ended September 28, 2014 increased $0.2 million to $0.1 million compared to a loss of $0.1 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.  The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods shown (in thousands):

Total Pizza Inn domestic franchisee retail sales increased $0.2 million, or 1%, for the three months ended September 28, 2014 when compared to the same period of the prior year.  Pizza Inn domestic comparable store retail sales increased $1.0 million, or 4.6%, for the three months ended September 28, 2014 when compared to the same period of the prior year.  Loss from continuing operations before taxes for Pizza Inn Company-owned restaurants was $44 thousand for the three months ended September 28, 2014 and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013.

The following chart summarizes Pizza Inn restaurant activity for the three month periods ended September 28, 2014:

We believe that the net decrease of two domestic Pizza Inn units during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 continued an improving trend in net domestic store closures.  The maintenance of the number of international Pizza Inn units during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was consistent with the trend of gradual growth in the international unit experience over the last several years.

We believe that the addition of four Pie Five Units during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 reflects the continuation of an accelerated pace of growth in the opening of Pie Five Units as franchised stores begin to open pursuant to previously executed franchise development agreements and the Company continues to develop its own stores in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and other metropolitan areas.  The two closed franchised locations reflect the intent to convert a market region from franchised stores to Company-owned restaurants.

Average weekly sales for Company-owned Pie Five restaurants increased $2,386, or 20%, to $14,231 for the three months ended September 28, 2014 compared to $11,845 for the same period of prior year. This performance was driven by strong comparable store retail sales growth at existing Company-owned stores and higher average sales of Company-owned restaurants opened during fiscal 2014.

Company-owned Pie Five restaurant operating cash flow increased $0.2 million, or 262%, during the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the same period of prior year.  Similarly, loss from continuing operations before taxes for Company-owned Pie Five stores improved by $0.2 million, to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 28, 2014 compared to $0.3 million for the same period of prior year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms

The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  However, the Company also presents and discusses certain non-GAAP financial measures that it believes are useful to investors as measures of operating performance. Management may also use such non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the effectiveness of business strategies and for planning and budgeting purposes.  However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as an alternative or substitute for the results reflected in the Company’s GAAP financial statements.

The following key performance indicators presented herein, some of which represent non-GAAP financial measures, have the meaning and are calculated as follows:

·
“Adjusted EBITDA” represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, and impairment on long lived assets and other lease charges.
·
“Retail sales” represents the restaurant sales reported by our franchisees and Company-owned restaurants, which may be segmented by brand or domestic/international locations.
·
“System-wide retail sales” represents combined retail sales for franchisee and Company-owned restaurants for a specified brand.
13

·
“Comparable store retail sales” includes the retail sales for restaurants that have been open for at least 18 months as of the end of the reporting period. The sales results for a restaurant that was closed temporarily for remodeling or relocation within the same trade area are included in the calculation only for the days that the restaurant was open in both periods being compared.
·
“Store weeks” represent the total number of weeks that specified restaurants were open during the period.
·
“Average units open” reflects the number of restaurants open during a reporting period weighted by the percentage of the weeks in a reporting period that each restaurant was open.
·
“Average weekly sales” for a specified period is calculated as total retail sales divided by total store weeks in the period.
·
“Restaurant operating cash flow” represents the income earned by Company-owned restaurants plus (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) pre-opening expenses, and (3) allocated corporate administration and other expenses.
·
“Pre-opening expenses” consist primarily of certain costs incurred prior to the opening of a restaurant, including: (1) marketing and promotional expenses, (2) accrued rent, and (3) manager salaries, employee payroll and related training costs.
Financial Results

Revenues:

Revenues are derived from (1) sales of food, paper products and supplies from Norco to franchisees, (2) franchise royalties and franchise fees, and (3) Company-owned restaurant operations. Financial results are dependent in large part upon the volume, pricing and cost of the products and supplies sold to franchisees. The volume of products sold by Norco to franchisees is dependent on the level of franchisee chain-wide retail sales, which are impacted by changes in comparable store sales and restaurant count, and the products sold to franchisees through Norco rather than through third-party food distributors.

Total revenues for the three month period ended September 28, 2014 and for the same period in the prior fiscal year were $11.3 million and $10.1 million, respectively.  Revenue consisted of the following:

Three Months Ended

Franchise revenue

Restaurant sales

Total revenue
$ 11,306 $ 10,067
Food and Supply Sales

Food and supply sales by Norco include food and paper products and other distribution revenues. For the three month period ended September 28, 2014, food and supply sales increased to $7.5 million compared to $7.0 million the same period in the prior fiscal year due primarily to a $1.8 million, or 8%, increase in total domestic franchisee retail sales primarily attributable to an increase in comparable store retail sales and an increase in the number of Pie Five franchisee stores.

Franchise Revenue

Franchise revenue, which includes income from domestic and international royalties and license fees, increased by $0.2 million for the three month period ended September 28, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year.  This increase was the result of higher royalties resulting from increased franchisee retail sales and an increase in franchise fees and development fees primarily related to Pie Five.
Restaurant Sales

Restaurant sales, which consist of revenue generated by Company-owned restaurants, increased 24%, or $0.5 million, to $2.8 million for the three month period ended September 28, 2014, compared to $2.3 million for the comparable period in the prior year.  This increase was primarily due to the opening of three new Company-owned Pie Five restaurants in fiscal 2014 and one new Company-owned Pie Five restaurant in the last week of September 2014.

Costs and Expenses:

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales, which primarily includes food and supply costs, distribution fees, and labor and general and administrative expenses directly related to restaurant sales, increased to $9.6 million for the three month periods ended September 28, 2014 compared to $8.7 million in September 29, 2013.  The increase in costs was primarily the result of higher food and supply sales and costs associated with new Company-owned restaurants.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses remained relatively stable at to $1.1 million for the three month period ended September 28, 2014 compared to $1.0 million for the quarter ended September 29, 2013.  The slight increase was due to additional operating expenses associated with the new Company-owned Pie Five Units mostly offset by lower recruiting fees, legal fees and a lease termination fee in the prior year.

Franchise Expenses

Franchise expenses include selling, general and administrative expenses directly related to the sale and continuing service of domestic and international franchises. These expenses remained relatively consistent at $0.7 million for the three month period ended September 28, 2014 and September 29, 2013 with a slight increase in travel expenses.

Bad Debt Expense

Bad debt expense increased $34 thousand for the three month period ended September 28, 2014 as compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.  The Company monitors franchisee retail sales and receivable balances and adjusts credit terms when necessary to minimize the Company’s exposure to high risk accounts receivable.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $0.1 million for the three month period ended September 28, 2014 as compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. A lower average debt balance in the current period was offset by the write-off of capitalized loan origination costs following the payoff of the Company’s bank credit facilities.

Provision for Income Tax

For the three month period ended September 28, 2014, an income tax benefit of $0.1 million was calculated on an effective income tax rate that is consistent with the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% adjusted for state income tax effects and permanent difference items.  Management believes that future operations will generate sufficient taxable income, along with the reversal of temporary differences, to fully realize the net deferred tax asset of $2.0 million.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations reflect losses from two Company-owned Pizza Inn locations in Texas.  These losses were attributable to leasehold expense associated with a restaurant closed during fiscal 2008 and operating results for a restaurant closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operating activities and proceeds from the sale of common stock.

Cash flows from operating activities generally reflect net income adjusted for certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, changes in deferred tax assets, share based compensation, and changes in working capital.  Cash provided by operating activities decreased $1.4 million to cash used of $0.7 million for the three month period ended September 28, 2014 compared to cash provided of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013 primarily as a result of a $1.5 million reduction of trade accounts payable.
15


Cash flows from investing activities generally reflect capital expenditures for the purchase of Company assets.  The Company used cash of $0.5 million for the three month period ended September 28, 2014, primarily for new Company-owned Pie Five restaurants.  This compares to cash used by investing activities of $1.4 million during the same period in the prior fiscal year attributable to Company-owned Pie Five restaurants that opened during the period.

Cash flows from financing activities generally reflect changes in the Company's borrowings and stock activity during the period.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the three month periods ended September 28, 2014 and September 29, 2013, respectively, which in each case reflected proceeds from the sale of stock offset by the repayment of bank debt.

On May 20, 2013, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement with MLV & Co. LLC (“MLV”) pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $3,000,000 from time to time through MLV, acting as agent (the “2013 ATM Offering”). The 2013 ATM Offering was undertaken pursuant to Rule 415 and a shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 which was declared effective by the SEC on May 13, 2013.  On November 20, 2013, the Company and MLV amended the At-the-Market Issuance Sales Agreement and the SEC declared effective a new shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 to increase the 2013 ATM Offering by $5,000,000.  Through September 28, 2014, the Company had sold an aggregate of 1,257,609 shares in the 2013 ATM Offering, realizing aggregate net proceeds of $8.0 million.

On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into a new At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with MLV pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $5,000,000 from time to time through MLV, acting as agent (the “2014 ATM Offering”).  The 2014 ATM Offering is being undertaken pursuant to Rule 415 and a shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 which was declared effective by the SEC on August 8, 2014.

On August 28, 2012, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “F&M Loan Agreement”) with The F&M Bank & Trust Company (“F&M”) providing for a $2.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $500 thousand letter of credit subfacility), a $2.0 million fully funded term loan facility and a $6.0 million advancing term loan facility.  An origination fee of 0.5% of the total credit facilities was paid at closing.  At closing, F&M funded a $2.0 million term loan payable in 48 equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest at a fixed rate of 4.574% per annum.  Amounts repaid under this fully funded term loan may not be reborrowed.  Initial proceeds from the F&M Loan Agreement were used to repay amounts borrowed under a previous credit facility that subsequently was canceled.

On June 13, 2013 the Company entered into a First Amendment to the F&M Loan Agreement that revised certain financial covenants to address proceeds from the Company’s at-the-market offering of common stock.  On September 10, 2013 the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the F&M Loan Agreement that specified the application of prepayments to the loan amortization schedule and revised certain definitions.

The Company could borrow, repay and reborrow under the revolving credit facility through August 28, 2014, at which time all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility matured. The Company did not draw borrowings on the revolving credit facility during fiscal 2014 and has allowed it to expire.  An unused commitment fee of 0.50% per annum was payable quarterly on the average unused portion of the revolving credit facility.

Through August 28, 2014, F&M had agreed to make up to $6.0 million in additional term loans to the Company.    However, no amounts were outstanding on the advancing term loan facility at the expiration of the advance period.  As of September 28, 2014, the balance on the initial term loan facility was paid in full.  As a result, the F&M Loan Agreement has expired by its terms.

Management believes the cash on hand combined with cash from operations and proceeds from the 2014 ATM Offering will be sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent liabilities.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances.  Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically.  Actual results could differ materially from estimates.
16


The Company believes the following critical accounting policies require estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, are susceptible to change, and therefore require subjective judgments.  Changes in the estimates and judgments could significantly impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition in future periods.

Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables generated from food and supply sales to franchisees and franchise royalties.  The Company records a provision for doubtful receivables to allow for any amounts which may be unrecoverable based upon an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends.  Actual realization of accounts receivable could differ materially from the Company’s estimates.

Inventory, which consists primarily of food, paper products and supplies primarily warehoused by the Company’s third-party distributors, is stated at lower of cost or market, with cost determined according to the weighted average cost method.  The valuation of inventory requires us to estimate the amount of obsolete and excess inventory.  The determination of obsolete and excess inventory requires us to estimate the future demand for the Company’s products within specific time horizons, generally six months or less.  If the Company’s demand forecast for specific products is greater than actual demand and the Company fails to reduce purchasing accordingly, the Company could be required to write down inventory, which would have a negative impact on the Company’s gross margin.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is evaluated based on the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets compared to its carrying value. If impairment is recognized, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value, based on discounted estimated future cash flows.

The Company periodically evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets based upon the Company’s analysis of existing tax credits by jurisdiction and expectations of the Company’s ability to utilize these tax assets through a review of estimated future taxable income and establishment of tax strategies.  These estimates could be materially impacted by changes in future taxable income, the results of tax strategies or changes in tax law.

The Company recognizes food and supply revenue when products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the sales price is fixed or determinable.  Franchise revenue consists of income from license fees, royalties, and area development and foreign master license sales.  License fees are recognized as income when there has been substantial performance of the agreement by both the franchisee and the Company, generally at the time the restaurant is opened.  Royalties are recognized as income when earned.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10, which prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return.  ASC 740-10 requires that a company recognize in its financial statements the impact of tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  As of September 28, 2014 and September 29, 2013, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.

The Company assesses its exposures to loss contingencies from legal matters based upon factors such as the current status of the cases and consultations with external counsel and provides for the exposure by accruing an amount if it is judged to be probable and can be reasonably estimated. If the actual loss from a contingency differs from management’s estimate, operating results could be adversely impacted.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for a smaller reporting company.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information it is required to disclose in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
17


The Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on such evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. During the most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of its business.  The Company believes that all such claims and actions currently pending against it are either adequately covered by insurance or would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s annual results of operations, cash flows or financial condition if decided in a manner that is unfavorable to the Company.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Not required for a smaller reporting company.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and the Use of Proceeds

On May 23, 2007, the board of directors of the Company approved a stock purchase plan (the “2007 Stock Purchase Plan”) authorizing the purchase of up to 1,016,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  On June 2, 2008, the Company’s board of directors amended the 2007 Stock Purchase Plan to increase the number of shares the Company may repurchase by 1,000,000 shares to a total of 2,016,000 shares.  On April 22, 2009, the board of directors further amended the 2007 Stock Purchase Plan by increasing the aggregate number of shares the Company may repurchase by 1,000,000 shares to a total of 3,016,000 shares.  The 2007 Stock Purchase Plan does not have an expiration date.  There were no stock purchases in the three months ending September 28, 2014.  As of September 28, 2014, up to an additional 848,425 shares could be purchased under the 2007 Stock Purchase Plan.
