Pizza Inn Reports Results for First Quarter Fiscal Year 2008

Company Posts Positive Same Store Sales Growth and Earnings in Q1

Pizza Inn, Inc. today reported net income of $0.03 per share in its first fiscal quarter ended September 23, 2007 versus a net loss of ($0.10) per share in the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. The quarter resulted in net income of $345,000 versus a net loss of ($1,061,000) for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year on revenues of $12.1 million and $11.8 million respectively. Operating performance for the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 included the following:

  -- Comparable buffet restaurant sales increased 3.4% for the first
     quarter.
  -- Total domestic chain-wide comparable restaurant sales increased 1.4%
     for the first quarter.
  -- The Company recorded a charge of $300,000 or ($0.03) per share, in the
     quarter related to the departure of the company's previous CEO. After
     adjusting for this expense, the Company would have posted diluted
     earnings per share of $0.06.
  -- General and administrative expenses for the first quarter were lower by
     approximately 59%, or $914,000, due primarily to lower legal fees
     related to various litigation issues settled during fiscal 2007.
  -- Interest expense decreased 100%, or $200,000, compared to the same
     quarter in the prior fiscal year due to the Company eliminating all
     outstanding debt in December 2006.


Operating results for the first quarter mark the fourth consecutive profitable quarter for Pizza Inn, further strengthening the Company's financial and cash positions. It also marks seven consecutive months of comparable buffet sales growth.

Charlie Morrison, Interim CEO and Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Our momentum in same store sales through remodeling and operational execution demonstrates our progress in revitalizing the Pizza Inn brand. Working with our franchisee leadership, we are closing in on modifications to our buffet restaurant, taking the best elements of our existing prototype and combining these with a service and hospitality platform that deliver an exceptional customer experience in a more efficient restaurant. This new prototype will be introduced in 2008 as a company-owned restaurant and will be offered through our domestic and international franchise sales channels."

Further details of the new prototype will be released in the near future.
