As discussed further in Note
7
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,
during the
26
weeks ended
November
29,
2016,
we closed
100
Company - owned restaurants,
95
of which were closed following a comprehensive review of the Company’s property portfolio due to perceived limited upside due to market concentration, challenged trade areas, and other factors. At
November
29,
2016,
we owned and operated
546
Ruby Tuesday restaurants concentrated primarily in the Southeast, Northeast, Mid - Atlantic, and Midwest of the United States, which we consider to be our core markets.
 
As further discussed in Note
4
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we entered into an agreement during fiscal year
2016
to sell the assets related to
eight
Company - owned Lime Fresh Mexican Grill® (“Lime Fresh”) restaurants. Our last remaining Company - owned Lime Fresh restaurant closed and transferred to the buyer during the
second
quarter of fiscal year
2017.
 
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
(the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. In addition, certain reclassifications were made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the
13
and
26
weeks ended
November
29,
2016
are not necessarily indicative of results that
may
be expected for the
53
- week year ending
June
6,
2017.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in RTI’s Annual Report on Form
10
- K for the fiscal year ended
May
31,
2016.
 
Reclassifications
As shown in the table below, we
split our previously reported expenses within Selling, general, and administrative, net into separately reported General and administrative expenses and Marketing expenses, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the prior periods to be comparable with the classification for the
13
and
26
weeks ended
November
29,
2016.
Additionally, we reclassified an impairment of the Lime Fresh trademark to Closures and impairments, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the
13
and
26
weeks ended
December
1,
2015.
Amounts presented are in thousands.
