PRNewswire-FirstCall
THE COLONY, Texas

PIZZA INN, INC. today reported a net loss per share for its third quarter ended March 26, 2006 of ($0.05) versus earnings of $0.00 per share for the same quarter last year. The quarter resulted in a net loss of ($477,000) versus a net loss of ($20,000) for the same quarter last year on revenues of $12.8 million and $13.4 million, respectively.

   Third Quarter FY 2006 versus Third Quarter FY 2005 Results

   * Diluted EPS was ($0.05) versus $0.00 on a net loss of ($477,000) versus
     a net loss of ($20,000) for the same quarter last year.

   * Same store buffet restaurant sales increased 1.1% for the quarter and
     same store chainwide retail sales increased 0.4% for the quarter.

   * Total revenues decreased approximately 4%, or $589,000, primarily due
     to 2.6% overall lower chainwide retail sales as a result of fewer net
     stores and lower cheese prices.  The resulting reductions in food and
     supply sales and royalty revenues were partially offset by higher
     company-owned restaurant sales due to the opening of three new company
     buffet restaurants in the current fiscal year.

   * Losses for company-owned restaurants increased approximately $140,000
     to ($238,000).

   * Salaries increased approximately $134,000 due to increased staffing
     levels and severance payments made.

   * Energy costs increased approximately $114,000.

   * General and administrative expenses included non-cash stock
     compensation expense of $88,000 for approximately 560,000 stock option
     rights granted previously.  The prior year did not include any non-cash
     compensation expense.

The Company's President and CEO, Tim Taft, commented, "Following months of research and preparation, we implemented the first phase of our marketing plan in January of this year and are already seeing encouraging results from these efforts. In addition, the renewed trust and confidence our franchise partners have in the brand's new direction is producing positive results. We continue to work together to establish the proper direction for Pizza Inn, one focused on our competitive strengths and advantages. Although sales performance is improving at Pizza Inn, we have not lost sight of our opportunity to improve its operating performance."
