PRNewswire-FirstCall
THE COLONY, Texas

PIZZA INN, INC. today reported a net loss per share for its second quarter ended December 25, 2005 of ($0.06) versus earnings of $0.01 per share for the same quarter last year. The quarter resulted in a net loss of ($601,000) versus net income of $51,000 for the same quarter last year on revenues of $12.8 million and $13.8 million, respectively.

  Second Quarter FY 2006 versus Second Quarter FY 2005 Results

   *  Diluted EPS was ($0.06) versus $0.01 on a net loss of ($601,000)
      versus net income of $51,000.

   *  Revenues decreased approximately 7%, or $1,016,000, primarily due to
      lower comparable chainwide retail sales and fewer net stores.  The
      resulting reduction in food and supply sales and royalties were offset
      partially by equipment sales, which were higher by $248,000 and
      company-owned restaurant sales, which were higher by $96,000.

   *  Comparable chainwide retail sales were down 1.8%.

   *  Legal fees increased approximately $208,000 as the result of ongoing
      litigation and related matters.

   *  Energy costs increased approximately $168,000.

   *  General and administrative expenses included non-cash executive stock
      compensation expense of $94,000 for approximately 560,000 stock option
      rights granted previously.  The prior year did not include any non-
      cash compensation expense.

   *  Preopening expenses for three new company-owned stores were $124,000.

The Company's President and CEO, Tim Taft, commented, "To successfully accomplish the Pizza Inn turnaround, our focus remains on the fundamentals of the business. We continue to make significant progress in the areas of new franchisee selection, existing franchisee evaluation, new store development and improved unit-level profitability. Additionally, our 2006 marketing plan is taking an entirely new approach to improving comparable store sales by focusing on the brand's competitive strengths. Much is being accomplished at Pizza Inn; however, much work remains."
