PRNewswire-FirstCall
THE COLONY, Texas

PIZZA INN, INC. today reported net income of $0.08 per share for its second fiscal quarter ended December 23, 2007 versus net income of $0.01 per share for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. The quarter resulted in net income of $853,000 versus a net income of $152,000 for the same quarter in the prior fiscal year on revenues of $12.7 million and $11.5 million respectively. Operating performance for the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 included the following:

  -- Total domestic chain-wide comparable restaurant sales increased 3.8%
     for the second quarter and 2.7% year-to-date compared to the comparable
     periods in the prior fiscal year.
  -- Comparable domestic buffet restaurant sales increased 5.2% for the
     second quarter and 4.3% year-to-date compared to the comparable periods
     in the prior fiscal year.
  -- Four new domestic franchised buffet restaurants opened.
  -- General and administrative expenses for the second quarter decreased
     36% or $405,000 due primarily to lower payroll costs associated with
     reductions in headcount and lower legal fees due to the settlement of
     litigation in the prior fiscal year.
  -- Income of $150,000 associated with the signing of master license
     agreement in the country of Kuwait.
  -- Income of $284,000 related to the settlement of litigation.
  -- Interest expense decreased 100% or $274,000 compared to the same
     quarter in the prior fiscal year due to the repayment of all
     outstanding debt in December 2006.


As of the date of this press release, the Company has repurchased approximately 604,000 shares of its common stock under the 2007 Stock Purchase Plan approved by the Board of Directors in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

Charlie Morrison, President and CEO, commented, "Our business continues to strengthen. Our same store sales growth momentum continues and reflects the investments made by our franchisees in their businesses. Our four new franchised buffet restaurants opened strong during the quarter and were a hit with customers in their markets. These openings and fewer restaurant closings contributed to positive overall domestic chain-wide sales growth for the first time in twelve quarters. We believe we have put the right team in place to restore a strong restaurant operating culture to Pizza Inn, led by our newly-appointed Vice President of Operations, Jason Daniel. Jason brings a wealth of experience to the table and is expected to ensure that we deliver the experience that Pizza Inn customers have come to expect over the past 50 years."
