Stock Ownership Information
21.  What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
Most Company shareholders hold their shares directly in their own names rather than through a broker or other nominee. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.
Shareholder of Record
If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, Securities Transfer Corporation, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record, and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by the Company. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the Company or to a third party, or to vote in person at the meeting. There is a proxy card enclosed with these materials for your use.
Beneficial Owner
If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you together with a voting instruction card on behalf of your broker, trustee or nominee. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee how to vote and you are also invited to attend the meeting. Your broker, trustee or nominee has enclosed or provided a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker, trustee or nominee how to vote your shares. Since a beneficial owner is not a shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, trustee or nominee holding your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting.
22.  What happens if I have questions for the Company’s transfer agent?
Please contact the Company’s transfer agent at the phone number or address listed below with questions concerning stock certificates, transfer of ownership or other matters pertaining to your stock account.

The Board believes that all the nominees willdeemed to be available to serve as directors. If any nominee is unable to serve, the Board may decide to do one of two things.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Company Policies.  It is our policy that all employees must avoid any activity that is or has the appearance of being hostile, adverse or competitive with the Company, or that interferes with the proper performance of their duties, responsibilities or loyalty to the Company. These policies are included in our Code of Business Conduct described above. The Code of Business Conduct can be viewed at the Company’s website athttp://www.pizzainn.com. Each director and executive officer is instructed to always inform the Board when confronted with any situation that may be perceived as a conflict of interest, even if the person does not believe that the situation would violate the Company’s guidelines. If in a particular circumstance it is concluded that there is or may be a perceived conflict of interest, the Board will instruct the Company’s legal department to work with the relevant departments within the Company to determine if there is a conflict of interest. Any waivers of these conflict rules with regard to a director or executive officer require the prior approval of the Board or the Audit Committee.


16


NASDAQ Rules.  Conflict of interest situations are also governed by the NASDAQ rules defining “independent” director status. Each of our directors other than Messrs. Clairday and Taft qualify as “independent” in accordance with the NASDAQ rules. The NASDAQ rules include a series of objective tests that would not allow a director to be considered independent if the director had certain employment, business or family relationships with the Company. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a requirement that the Board also review the relations of each independent director to the Company on a subjective basis. In accordance with that review, the Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, the directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and the Company with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate to the Company and the Company’s management.
SEC Rules.  In addition to the Company and NASDAQ policies and rules described above, the SEC has specific disclosure requirements covering certain types of transactions involving the Company and a director, executive officer or other specified party. Specifically, other than as set forth below, we have not engaged in any transaction, or series of similar transactions, since the beginning of fiscal year 2006, or any currently proposed transaction, or series of similar transactions, to which the Company or any of its affiliates was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000 and in which any of our directors, executive officers, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock or members of their immediate family had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest.
In addition, other than as specifically set forth herein, none of the following persons has been indebted to the Company or its affiliates at any time since the beginning of fiscal 2006: (1) any director or executive officer of the Company, (2) any nominee for election as a director, (3) any member of the immediate family of any of the directors, executive officers or nominees for director, (4) any corporation or organization of which any of the directors, executive officers or nominees is an executive officer or partner or is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of equity securities (except trade debt entered into in the ordinary course of business), and (5) any trust or other estate in which any of the directors, executive officers or nominees for director has been furnisheda substantial beneficial interest or for which such person serves as a trustee or in a similar capacity.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee administers the Company’s executive compensation program, and its members are appointed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. After a fullBoard. In this regard, the role of the Compensation Committee is to oversee our compensation plans and policies, annually review and analysis, the Board of Directors positively reaffirmed that each member of the Committee is independent within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(14) of the National Association of Securities Dealers' listing standardsapprove all executive officers’ compensation decisions, and administer our stock option plans (including reviewing and approving stock option grants to executive officers). The Compensation Committee’s charter reflects these various responsibilities, and the rules and regulations of the SEC, as such requirements are defined as of the mailing date of this proxy statement. The Board annually reviews the Nasdaq listing standards' definition of independence for audit committee members and makes an annual determination of the independence of Committee members. The Board of Directors has also determined that at least one member of the Committee, Mr. Phillips, is an "audit committee financial expert," as defined by SEC rules and regulations. This designation results from a disclosure requirement of the SEC related to Mr. Phillips' experience and understanding with respect to certain accounting and auditing matters. The SEC believes this designation does not impose upon Mr. Phillips any duty, obligation, or liability that is greater than is generally imposed on him as a member of the AuditCompensation Committee and the Board periodically review and that his designation as an audit committee financial expertrevise the charter. The Compensation Committee’s membership is determined by the Board and is composed entirely of independent directors. The Compensation Committee meets at scheduled times during the year, and it also considers and takes action by written consent. The Compensation Committee Chairman reports on its actions and recommendations at Board meetings. The Company’s Human Resources and Legal Departments support the Compensation Committee in its work and in some cases the Human Resources Department acts pursuant to thisdelegated authority to fulfill various functions in administering the Company’s compensation programs. In addition, the Compensation Committee has the authority to engage the services of outside Attorneys, advisers, experts and others to assist it.
The Compensation Committee and the Board have adopted a charter to conform to the Compensation Committee’s responsibilities under the revised NASDAQ standards, new rules adopted by the SEC requirement does not affectand the duty, obligation, or liability of any other memberprovisions of the AuditSarbanes-Oxley Act.
Compensation Philosophy and Practice
In its administration and periodic review of executive compensation, the Compensation Committee orbelieves in aligning the Board. Forinterests of the executive officers with those of the Company’s shareholders. To accomplish this, the Compensation Committee seeks to structure and maintain a compensation program that is directly and materially linked to individual performance, operating performance and enhancement of shareholder value.
Tax Deductibility under Section 162(m)
As noted, the Company’s compensation policy is primarily based upon the practice ofpay-for-performance. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a limitation on the deductibility of nonperformance-based compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the Principal Executive Officer and the other most highly compensated executive officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee currently believes that the Company should be able to continue to manage its executive compensation program for these officers so as to preserve the related federal income tax deductions.
Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Taft entered into an overviewemployment agreement with the Company on March 31, 2005, which Mr. Taft has agreed to amend. The agreement is for a term that currently extends through June 30, 2007. The agreement provides that Mr. Taft be paid a total salary in the first 12 months of $1.00 plus any bonus determined by the board. During the six-month period between April 2006 and September 2006, Mr. Taft has agreed to be paid a total salary of approximately $12,000. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Taft began receiving a salary at a rate of $300,000 per year in October 2006. In June 2007 Mr. Taft will be eligible for a total bonus potential of $338,000, of which $138,000 is guaranteed.
On March 31, 2005, the Company and Mr. Taft entered into a Non-Qualified Stock Option Award Agreement as a part of Mr. Phillips' relevantTaft’s employment agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Taft was awarded options for 500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. See“Equity Compensation Plan Information” above and“Executive Employment Agreements” below.


23


In structuring Mr. Taft’s employment agreement, the Compensation Committee and Executive Committee sought to offer a competitive and fair compensation package tied to Mr. Taft’s experience seeand qualifications while also aligning his interests with those of the section entitled "Continuing Directors" above.Company’s shareholders. A significant portion of Mr. Taft’s compensation is materially and directly linked to Company performance as a result of the granting of options to him. The options vest in increments from 2005 through 2008. The Compensation Committee believes that Mr. Taft’s salary in the second 12 months, bonus amounts and benefits are comparable to those offered to chief executive officers at similar companies in the quick serve and fast casual dining restaurant segments.
Other Executive Officers
Salaries of the other executive officers are reviewed annually and adjusted based on competitive practices, changes in level and scope of responsibilities, and individual and departmental performance measured against goals. None of the executive officers have employment contracts or change of control agreements.
Stock Options
The Company established the 2005 Plan for the purpose of aligning employee and shareholder interests. The Compensation Committee administers the 2005 Plan. Subject to the terms of the 2005 Plan, and automatic option grants to non-employee directors pursuant to the 2005 Directors Plan, the Compensation Committee determines the persons who are to receive awards, the number of shares subject to each such award and the terms, types and conditions of such awards. The Compensation Committee also has the authority to construe and interpret any of the provisions of the 2005 Plan or any awards granted thereunder.
In determining whether an award should be made,and/or the vesting schedule for any such award, subject to the terms of the 2005 Plan, the Compensation Committee may impose whatever conditions to vesting it deems appropriate. For example, the Compensation Committee may decide to grant an award only if the participant satisfies performance goals established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may choose performance periods and performance goals that differ from participant to participant. The Compensation Committee may choose performance goals based on either Company-wide or departmental results, as deemed appropriate in light of the participant’s specific responsibilities. For purposes of qualifying awards as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), the Compensation Committee may (but is not required to) specify performance goals for the entire Companyand/or one or more individual departments. Performance goals may be based upon business criteria including: net income, earnings per share, return on equity, EBITDA, or other financial or performance-related measures. During fiscal year 2006, the Company did not grant stock options to employees.
During meetings of the Compensation Committee in fiscal year 2006, the Compensation Committee reviewed and discussed the Company's audited financial statementsCompany’s current compensation objectives, the desired mix of cash and equity compensation, and the impact of changes in accounting principles that would require the Company, as of April 1, 2006, to begin recognizing issued and outstanding stock options as an expense. The Compensation Committee has determined to temporarily suspend the granting of stock options, with management. the exception of the automatic grant provisions in the 2005 Directors Plan for directors acquiring shares of Common Stock during the previous fiscal year. See“Director Compensation” above.
The Committee also discussed with BDO Seidman LLPCompany has no current plans to issue stock options to its officers or employees. However, we will continue to monitor changes in the matters requiredmarketplace relating to equity compensation and respond appropriately. We have periodically reviewed our option grant guidelines, among other reasons, in response to evolving market practices and will continue to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, "Communications with Audit Committees." In addition, BDO Seidman LLP also providedvigilant in this regard so that we may consider prevailing market standards in our effort to provide a competitive mix of cash and equity compensation.
Timing and Pricing of Option Awards
It is the Committeepolicy of the written disclosuresBoard and the letter requiredCompensation Committee when approving stock option grants to employees and directors, whether pursuant to a shareholder approved plan or individual non-plan grants, to price all such grants at the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant (or, in the case of certain past option grants, at the fair market value of the Common Stock at the close of trading on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date). It is not the policy, practice or intended result of executive management, the Board or the


24


Compensation Committee in granting stock options to engage in or approve of backdating option grants, selecting option exercise prices that differ from the underlying stock’s price on the grant date (except as may be allowed by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussionsapplicable laws and accounted for in accordance with Audit Committees,"generally accepted accounting principles), or timing the grant of options to coordinate with the release of material nonpublic information.
For all option grants made pursuant to shareholder approved plans, option grant exercise prices, method of fixing grant dates, vesting requirements and expiration dates are specified in each such plan. There are currently two such plans, the 2005 Plan and the 2005 Directors Plan. Both plans provide that the date of a stock option award will be the effective date that the award is made to a plan participant. Both plans also provide that all stock option awards will be issued at fair market value, which is defined in the plans as the closing price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ exchange on the date that the award is made.
Conclusion
We have reviewed with the Company’s executive management all components of compensation paid to Mr. Taft and each of the Company’s principal executive officers in fiscal year 2006, including base salary, bonus and equity compensation, and projected payout obligations under potential severance and change in control scenarios for Mr. Taft. Based upon this review and consideration of the Company’s overall executive officer compensation objectives, the Compensation Committee discussed with BDO Seidman LLPfinds such total compensation to be appropriate, and recommends that firm's independence. Thethe Compensation Committee is responsible for recommendingReport be included in this proxy statement.
Submitted to the Board that the Company's financial statements be included in the Company's annual report. Based on the discussions with BDO Seidman LLP concerning the audit, the financial statement review, and other such matters deemed relevant and appropriate by the Committee, the Committee recommended to the Board that the June 27, 2004 audited financial statements be included in the Company's 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In accordance with the rulesundersigned members of the SEC, the foregoing information, which is required by paragraphs (a)Compensation Committee.

Mr. Taft and Mr. Olgreen and the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, Shawn Preator, each were parties to employment agreements with the Company for all or portions of fiscal 2006. These agreements provide for payment of severance benefits under certain circumstances. The severance benefits payable to Mr. Taft and the circumstances under which he would receive such benefits are addressed in his employment agreement, discussed below. Severance benefits could have been payable to Mr. Preator and Mr. Olgreen during part of fiscal 2006 under certain circumstances addressed in their employment agreements, also discussed below. The other named executive officers are not covered under employment agreements or a general severance plan and any severance benefits payable to them would be determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion.
Mr. Taft
Mr. Taft entered into an employment agreement with the Company on March 31, 2005, which Mr. Taft has agreed to amend. The agreement is for a term that currently extends through June 30, 2007. The agreement provides that Mr. Taft be paid a total salary in the first 12 months of $1.00 plus any bonus determined by the board. During the six-month period between April 2006 and September 2006, Mr. Taft has agreed to be paid a total salary of approximately $12,000. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Taft began receiving a salary at a rate of $300,000 per year in October 2006. In June 2007 Mr. Taft will be eligible for a total bonus potential of $338,000, of which $138,000 is guaranteed. The agreement also provides for a grant of 500,000 non-qualified stock options, with 50,000 of such options vesting immediately and the remainder vesting over three years. Mr. Taft may be terminated with or without cause, with the definition of cause including, but not limited to, breach of a monetary obligation to the Company, violation of the compensation agreement, fraud against the Company and failure to substantially perform required duties, each as described in the agreement.
If the Company terminates Mr. Taft’s employment for cause, or if Mr. Taft terminates his employment voluntarily, he will be entitled to a payment in the amount of any unpaid salary accrued through the date of termination, any unreimbursed expenses properly incurred prior to the date of termination and rights granted to him under any executive benefit plan. If the Company terminates Mr. Taft’s employment without cause, he will be entitled to payment of the amounts described above, and, either (a) during the first 12 months of the agreement a lump sum amount equal to $25,000 for each full month he has been employed or (b) commencing on the first anniversary of his employment, an amount equal to 12 months of his then base salary. The amount would be paid, at the Company’s election, in lump sum or in monthly increments. If the Company terminates Mr. Taft’s employment within six months of a change of control he will be entitled to receive payment of all amounts payable under the agreement for termination or resignation with or without cause, plus all then unvested stock options will become immediately exercisable and remain exercisable for 90 days following the date of termination of employment. Mr. Taft may terminate his agreement for “good reason” at any time within six months after a “change of control” of the Company occurs, as those terms are defined in the agreement.
Termination Scenarios for Mr. Taft
The following table is included solely to provide shareholders with a presentation of hypothetical cash severance and option vesting for Mr. Taft that would result under his employment agreement (as described more fully above), had a termination of employment or a change in control followed by a termination of employment occurred on June 25, 2006, the last day of the Company’s fiscal year.

Mr. Olgreen and Mr. Preator
On April 22, 2005, Mr. Preator and Mr. Olgreen each entered into an Executive Compensation Agreement with the Company. The agreements each provided for a term through December 31, 2005. Mr. Preator’s agreement provided for salary of not less than his then current salary of $150,000 and a bonus of not less than $30,000. Mr. Olgreen’s agreement provided for salary of not less than his then current salary of $168,000 and a bonus of not less than $33,600. Under the agreements each executive could be terminated with or without cause and each executive could terminate his employment for any reason or for no reason at all.
Under the agreements, if the Company terminated Mr. Olgreen’s or Mr. Preator’s employment without cause, each would be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to six months of the executive’s then current annual salary plus a lump sum payment equal to any unpaid bonus the respective executive would have been entitled to receive had he worked through December 31, 2005.

FEES PAID TO INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Audit Committee has selected BDO Seidman LLP certified public accountants as the independent auditors of the Company for fiscal year 2005. A representative of BDO Seidman LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting, will be available to respond to appropriate questions, and will have an opportunity to make a statement. For fiscal 2004, the Audit Committee selected BDO Seidman LLP to replace PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, which was the Company's independent auditor for the fiscal year ending June 29, 2003. The decision to change accountants was made by vote of the Committee, and the dismissal of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP became effective on October 8, 2003. During fiscal years 2002 and 2003, there were no disagreements between the Company's senior management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's senior audit personnel on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure such that would have caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to have made reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its audit report. The Company does not anticipate that a representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting, nor does it anticipate that any such representative will be available to make a statement or to answer questions.
The following table shows the fees the Company paid or accrued for the audit and other services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in fiscal 2003 and BDO Seidman, LLP in fiscal 2004.

AUDIT-RELATED FEES
Audit-Related Fees.  These fees consist of assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company'sCompany’s financial statements.

In considering and authorizing these payments to the independent auditors for services unrelated to performance of the audit of the Company'sCompany’s financial statements, the Audit Committee has determined that the cost segregation analysisall such services tax return preparation, foreign tax analysis and calculation, review of the Company's franchise offering circular, and transfer of materials related to the audit engagement undertaken by the independent auditors are not inconsistent with the independent auditor'sauditor’s performance of the audit and financial statement review functions and are compatible with maintaining the independent auditor'sauditor’s independence.

COMPENSATIONAudit Committee.
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The CompensationAudit Committee of the Board is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of Directorsthe Company’s accounting functions and internal controls. The Audit Committee is comprisedcurrently composed of three independent non-employee directors.directors and acts under a written charter approved and adopted by the Board on April 15, 2003. The CompensationAudit Committee reviews its Charter on an annual basis. In October 2006 the Audit Committee adopted and the Board approved certain amendments to the Audit Committee Charter in anticipation of the effectiveness of new SEC rules for review and approval of related party transactions. A copy of the amended Audit Committee Charter is included as an exhibit to this proxy statement. Each of the members is independent as defined by NASDAQ’s listing standards and as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. After a full review and analysis, the Board positively reaffirmed that each member is independent within the meaning of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the listing standards of the NASDAQ and the rules and regulations of the SEC, as such requirements are defined as of the mailing date of this proxy statement. The Board annually reviews the NASDAQ listing standards’ definition of independence for audit committee members and makes an annual determination of the independence of Audit Committee members.
One of the current Audit Committee members, John D. Harkey, Jr., will not stand for reelection as a Board member at the annual meeting of shareholders. The Board has made an affirmative determination that nominees James K. Zielke and Steven M. Johnson, if elected, will not satisfy SECRule 10A-3(b)(1), and thus may not serve as members of the Audit Committee. As a result, effective as of the date of the annual meeting of shareholders, the Company believes that it will fail to comply with the audit committee composition requirements under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2)(A), which requires that the audit committee be composed of three directors who meet the independence requirements of NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) andRule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act. The Company anticipates relying on the cure period provided under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(4)(B) within which to regain compliance. To regain compliance under that Rule, the Board must appoint a third Audit Committee member satisfying published NASDAQ listing requirements and Exchange Act requirements by the earlier of one year from the date of the event causing the noncompliance or the date of the Company’s next annual meeting of shareholders.
The Board of Directors has determined that at least one member of the Audit Committee, Mr. Phillips, is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by SEC rules and regulations. This designation results from a disclosure requirement of the SEC related to Mr. Phillips’ experience and understanding with respect to certain accounting and auditing matters. The SEC believes this designation does not impose upon Mr. Phillips any duty, obligation or liability that is greater than is generally imposed on him as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board, and that his designation as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this SEC requirement does not affect the duty, obligation or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or the Board. For an overview of Mr. Phillips’ relevant experience, see the section entitled “Continuing Directors” above.
The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited financial statements with management. It also discussed with BDO Seidman, LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, “Communications with Audit Committees”, as amended by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 90. In addition, BDO Seidman, LLP also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter required

by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,” and the Committee discussed with BDO Seidman, LLP that firm’s independence.
The Audit Committee is responsible for establishingrecommending to the level of compensationBoard that the Company’s financial statements be included in the Company’s annual report. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the executive officersCompany’s financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, internal controls and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards, applicable laws, and regulations. The Company’s independent auditor, BDO Seidman, LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Companyconsolidated financial statements and will be responsible for administeringexpressing an opinion on the 2004 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Award Planconformity of those financial statements to generally accepted accounting principles.
Based on the discussions with BDO Seidman, LLP concerning the audit, the financial statement review, and the 2004 Employee Incentive Stock Award Plan if approvedother such matters deemed relevant and appropriate by the shareholders. The CompensationAudit Committee, andthe Audit Committee recommended to the Board have adopted a charter for the Compensation Committee to conform to the Committee's responsibilities under the revised Nasdaq standards, new rules adopted by the SEC, and the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Compensation Philosophy and Practice In its administration and periodic review of executive compensation, the Compensation Committee believes in aligning the interests of the executive officers with those of the Company's shareholders. To accomplish this, the Committee seeks to structure and maintain a compensation program that is directly and materially linked to operating performance and enhancement of shareholder value. Tax Deductibility under Section 162(m) As noted, the Company's compensation policy is primarily based upon the practice of pay-for-performance. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a limitation on the deductibility of nonperformance-based compensation in excess of $1 million paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the other most highly compensated executive officers of the Company. The Committee currently believes that the Company shouldaudited financial statements be able to continue to manage its executive compensation program for these officers so as to preserve the related federal income tax deductions. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER The compensation of Ronald W. Parker, as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is based on his employment agreement as more fully described under "Executive Employment Contracts" below. Mr. Parker's employment agreement was approved by the then members of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Compensation Committee as constituted on December 16, 2002. The term of the employment agreement continues through December 31, 2007. Under his employment agreement, Mr. Parker's compensation is determined by the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company, or the Stock Award Plan Committee (whose function has been assumed by the Compensation Committee), based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee's recommendations with respect to Mr. Parker's compensation, however, are subject to other provisions in his employment agreement, including the provisions that provide that Mr. Parker's total annual compensation may not be reduced to less than an annual salary of $550,000 and a mandatory minimum annual bonus equal to $275,000. Additionally, Mr. Parker is entitled to receive under his employment agreement certain defined benefits, which, in fiscal 2004, totaled approximately $176,084. The bonus program established in Mr. Parker's employment agreement is based on the Company's performanceincluded in the areas of revenue growth, net income, new store openings, store sales, Company stock price, store closings, and Company expenses, subject to payment of the minimum bonus described above. The current Compensation Committee has reviewed the compensation of Mr. Parker and has evaluated Mr. Parker's compensation by comparing it to the compensation of chief executive officers in the restaurant industry, and by considering the Company's current structure and performance, among other things. As a result of this review, the Compensation Committee believes the total amount of Mr. Parker's compensation to be well in excess of the compensation of chief executive officers at comparable companies and based upon the Company's performance for the last completed fiscal year. The Compensation Committee also believes that the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, as well as other officers and employees of the Company, should be more directly tied to individual performance and the performance of the Company. EXECUTIVE OFFICERS Subject to existing employment agreements, salaries of the executive officers, excluding Mr. Parker, are reviewed annually and adjusted basedCompany’s 2006 Annual Report on competitive practices, changes in level of responsibilities and individual performance measured against goals. The Compensation Committee strongly believes that maintaining a competitive salary structure is in the best interest of shareholders. It believes the Company's long-term success in its marketplace is best achieved through recruitment and retention of high caliber executives who are among the most skilled and talented in the industry. The Compensation Committee also believes that compensation levels for the Company's executive officers should be tied to individual and Company performance. Subject to existing employment agreements, salary and bonus for Mr. Olgreen, and Mr. Preator, and for Mr. Clark, prior to his resignation from the Company in July 2004, are based upon their employment agreements as more fully described under "Executive Employment Contracts" below. Mr. Meisenheimer's bonus for 2004 was based on individual performance, performance of the department within his area of responsibility, and certain goals related to Company operationsForm 10-K for the fiscal year. STOCK OPTIONS The Company establishedyear ended June 25, 2006, for filing with the 1993 Employee Stock Award Plan ("Employee Option Plan") forSEC.
In accordance with the purpose of aligning employee and shareholder interests. Under the Employee Option Plan, stock options were granted from time to time to certain executive officers, as well as other employees, based upon their relative positions and responsibilities, as well as historical and expected contributions to Company growth. During fiscal years 2003 and 2004, the Company did not grant stock options to employees. The termrules of the Employee Option Plan expired on October 13, 2003. Expiration does not affect vesting, exercise, or expiration of options previously granted pursuant toSEC, the Plan. Upon expiration of the Employee Option Plan no further option grants can be made. The Board expects to grant stock option awards to eligible employees beginning in calendar year 2005 if the shareholders approve Proposal Three "Adoption of an Employee Incentive Stock Option Award Plan." Submitted by the Compensation Committee: Steven J. Pully, Chairman Robert B. Page Ramon D. Phillips EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS Ronald W. Parker, B. Keith Clark, Ward T. Olgreen, and Shawn M. Preator each entered into an Employment Agreement with the Company on December 16, 2002 that contained the following provisions: (i) a term that currently extends through December 31, 2007 for Mr. Parker and December 31, 2005 for Messrs. Olgreen and Preator; (ii) the respective executive's compensation will be determined each year by the Compensation Committee; (iii) each executive may be terminated with or without cause, with cause including, but not limited to, breach of monetary obligation to the Company, violation of the employment agreement, fraud against the Company, and failure to substantially perform required duties, each as described in the agreement; (iv) each executive shall receive an annual salary not less than his current salary and a bonus for Mr. Parker of not less than fifty percent of his annual salary based on Company performance related to revenue, net income, new store openings, store sales, Company stock price, store closings, and Company expenses, and a bonus for each of Messrs. Olgreen and Preator of not less than twenty percent of their respective annual salary based on individual performance, the performance of departments within their responsibility, and certain goals related to Company operations for the fiscal year; (v) each executive is bound by obligations to the Company related to the protection of the Company's trade secrets and confidential information; and (vi) each executive is bound to arbitrate disputes related to his employment agreement. Mr. Parker, Mr. Olgreen, or Mr. Preator may terminate his respective agreement at any time within 12 months after a "change of control"of the Company occurs. Change of control is defined as: (a) a transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Company to any person, group, or entity other than a person, group, or entity that is controlled by the executive; (b) the Company is merged with or into another corporation and the shareholders of the Company prior to such merger own less than 50% of the voting stock of the Company or other surviving corporation after the merger; (c) an unapproved change in the majority of the Company's Board of Directors; or (d) a person, entity, or group (other than (i) the Company or (ii) an employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company) acquires 50% or more of the voting stock of the Company. If the Company terminates Mr. Parker's employment without cause, or if Mr. Parker terminates his employment upon a "change of control," he will be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to four times (i) his highest annual salary over the last three years plus (ii) the highest bonus and other cash compensation received by Mr. Parker during the last three years. If the Company terminates Mr. Olgreen's or Mr. Preator's employment without cause, or if Mr. Olgreen, or Mr. Preator terminates his employment upon a "change of control", he will be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to two and one-half times the base amount of his annual compensation, as calculated according to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, Mr. Parker, Mr. Olgreen, and Mr. Preator would be entitled to an additional "tax gross-up payment" as a result of any excise tax that such personforegoing information, which is required to pay as a resultby paragraphs (a) and (b) of such payment beingRegulation S-K Item 306, shall not be deemed to be an "excess parachute payment" under“soliciting material”, or to be “filed” with the Internal Revenue Code. Each agreement includes a noncompetition covenant that would apply for a number of years equalSEC or subject to the number of years by which the respective executive's compensation is multiplied pursuant to any severance payments made to such executive. On July 7, 2004 Mr. Clark resigned his position as Senior Vice President, Secretary, and General Counsel of the Company, citing provisions of his employment contract requiring him to give notice of his election to terminate his employment within twelve months of a "change of control" of the Company. The Company disputes that a "change of control" of the Company has occurred and, pursuant to the terms of Mr. Clark's employment contract, has initiated arbitration proceedings to resolve the dispute. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS On October 6, 1999, the Company loaned Ronald W. Parker, the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer, approximately $560,000 to acquire 200,000 shares of Common Stock through the exercise of vested stock options previously granted to him by the Company. On July 7, 2000, the Company loaned Mr. Parker approximately $302,000 to acquire an additional 200,000 shares of Common Stock through the exercise of vested stock options previously granted to him by the Company. The interest rate on the loans is the same floating interest rate the Company pays on its credit facility with Wells Fargo. As collateral for the loans, Mr. Parker granted the Company (i) a first lien on 100,000 previously purchased shares of Common Stock and certain real property, and (ii) a second lien on certain additional real property. After the July 7, 2000 loan, the principal amount outstanding was approximately $862,000. The Board of Directors approved each loan, with the specific terms and collateral being approved by the Compensation Committee. On October 30, 2000, Mr. Parker paid the Company approximately $165,000 of the principal amount of the loans, and on June 10, 2004 Mr. Parker paid the remaining principal balance and accrued interest in full. The Company has released all liens on the shares of Common Stock and the real property pledged by Mr. Parker as collateral for the loans. The Company currently has no outstanding loans to its officers or directors. Bobby L. Clairday is President and sole shareholder of Clairday Food Services, Inc. and is sole shareholder of Advance Food Services, Inc., both of which are franchisees of the Company. Mr. Clairday also holds area development rights in his own name. Mr. Clairday currently operates 11 restaurants in Arkansas, either individually or through the corporations noted above. As franchisees, the two corporations purchase a majority of their food and other supplies from the Company's distribution division. In fiscal year 2004, purchases by these franchisees made up 4.4% of the Company's food and supply sales. Royalty payments by Mr. Clairday and such franchisees were 3.2% of the Company's royalty revenues, and license fees and area development fees from Mr. Clairday and such franchisees made up 6.3% of the Company's franchise revenues. As of October 1, 2004 Advance Food Services, Inc. and Clairday Food Services, Inc. collectively owed the Company approximately $946,329, primarily for royalties and purchases of products from the Company's distribution division ("Clairday Debt"). Of the total amount of the Clairday Debt outstanding on that date, approximately $556,434 represents normal and customary 30-day purchase and payment cycles for these franchisees, which often pay 1 to 15 or 16 to 30 days outside of terms. The balance of the Clairday Debt, approximately $335,318, represents amounts incurred by Advance Foods, Inc. during a period in 1996 and 1997 following Mr. Clairday's sale of that company to unrelated third parties and prior to his reacquisition of the company in 1997 ("Advance Foods Debt"). The Company carries the Advance Foods Debt on its books as past due trade receivables, with no interest accrual. From time to time Mr. Clairday makes payments toward reduction of the Advance Foods Debt, and the Company will from time to time set off certain payments due Mr. Clairday or Advance Foods, Inc. against the Advance Foods Debt, reducing the balance owed. The last payment made by Mr. Clairday toward the Advance Foods Debt was $5,232 in June 2000, and the last set-off applied by the Company against the Advance Foods Debt was $1,167 in April 2001. No payment or set off was applied during fiscal 2004. At June 27, 2004, the amount of the Advance Foods Debt was $335,318. As of the November 16, 2004 mail date of this proxy statement, Mr. Clairday was engaged in negotiations with his lenders to finance the Advance Foods Debt and pay the Company in full. SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act") requires the Company's executive officers and directors and the persons who own more than ten percent of the Common Stock to file initial reports of ownership of Common Stock and reports of changes of ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and to furnish the Company with copies of such reports. The Company believes that, during the preceding fiscal year and prior fiscal years, all of the Company's executive officers, directors and holders of more than 10% of Common Stock timely filed all reports required by Section 16(a) of the Act, except as previously disclosed and except for the following filings made on behalf of the following directors: For Mr. Schwarz, a Form 4 Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership of Securities reflecting purchase of 7,500 shares of Common Stock on June 30, 2003 was not timely filed. A filing was made on July 14, 2003. For Mr. Phillips, a Form 4 Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership of Securities reflecting sale of 5,290 shares of Common Stock on April 2, 2004 was not timely filed. A filing was made on April 13, 2004. PROPOSAL TWO: ADOPTION OF NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS STOCK AWARD PLAN There will be presented to the meeting a proposal to adopt the 2004 Non-Employee Directors Stock Award Plan ("2004 Plan"). The 2004 Plan will replace the 1993 Outside Directors Stock Award Plan, which expired by its terms on October 13, 2003. The Board believes that an equity-based incentive plan is an integral component of an attractive compensation program that will attract, retain, and reward qualified non-employee directors, to the benefit of the Company and its shareholders. The Board has approved the 2004 Plan and directed that it be submitted to the shareholders for approval. Description of the Proposed 2004 Plan Administration. The 2004 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which is comprised of three non-employee directors who are not employed by the Company and who satisfy the "independence" requirements under rules issued by the SEC and Nasdaq. Eligibility. All non-employee directors of the Company ("Non-Employee Directors") are eligible to participate in the 2004 Plan. A Non-Employee Director is a member of the Company's Board of Directors who is not, and has not been during the immediately preceding 12-month period, an employee of the Company. Shares Subject to the Plan. The total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to Non-Employee Directors under the 2004 Plan shall not exceed 200,000. Awards granted under the 2004 Plan that expire or terminate without being exercised may be regranted. Awards and Limitations. Under the 2004 Plan, options to acquire two shares of Common Stock shall be granted on the first day of each 2004 Plan year (currently a plan year is the Company's fiscal year) for each share of Common Stock purchased by a Non-Employee Director during each preceding 2004 Plan year, up to a maximum award of 50,000 shares per Non-Employee Director per 2004 Plan year. Exercise Price. The exercise price for any option granted under the 2004 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Fair market value is defined in the 2004 Plan as the closing price for the Common Stock on Nasdaq on the date of the option award. The fair market value of the Common Stock was $2.85 on November 3, 2004. Terms of Option Awards. For all awards under the 2004 Plan, the minimum vesting period is six months after grant and the maximum exercise period is five years after vesting. Payment for shares purchased pursuant to exercise of an option award must be made at the time of exercise in cash or other payment method approved by the Committee. Term of the 2004 Plan. The 2004 Plan terminates three years from December 15, 2004 or such earlier date as the Board may determine and no awards may be granted thereafter. Option Exercise and Transfer. Awards granted pursuant to the 2004 Plan may not be transferredSEC’s Regulation 14A, other than as provided in that Item, or to the 2004 Plan and may only be exercised by the participant, or, in the eventliabilities of his death, by his heirs or estate. Upon the death (or permanent disability) of a participant while serving as a Non-Employee Director, any outstanding unvested award becomes immediately vested and the option award may be exercised by the participant's heirs, estate, or guardian within one year following the participant's death (or commencement of such disability), after which any unexercised option award terminates. If a Non-Employee Director's service as a memberSection 18 of the Board terminates for any reason other than death or disability, all unvested and all unexercised vested option awards terminate, but under certain circumstancesExchange Act, except to the Director may have three months within which to exercise vested options. In the event of a "change of control" ofextent that the Company as defined inspecifically requests that the 2004 Plan, all outstanding option awards will become immediately vested and exercisable. Plan Amendment and Modification. The Committee may amend or terminate the 2004 Plan, including modification or waiver of terms as they apply to individual participants. However, shareholder approval is required for any amendment that would: increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the 2004 Plan; materially increase the benefits accruing to participants in the 2004 Plan; or modify the eligibility requirements for, or decrease the minimum exercise price of, any options. No amendment or termination of the 2004 Plan may adversely affect the rights of any participant under any then outstanding award without the consent of the participant. The 2004 Plan provides for automatic adjustments to prevent dilution or enlargement of the participant's rights in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, or similar transaction. No adjustments or reduction of the exercise price of any outstanding award may be made in the event of a decline in the price of the Common Stock, either by reducing the exercise price of outstanding awards or by canceling outstanding awards in connection with regranting incentives at a lower price to the same Participant. Federal Income Tax Consequences Under the Directors Plan. Option awards under the Plan are treated as nonqualified options. Nonqualified Stock Options. Nonqualified stock option awards granted under the Plan do not qualify as "incentive stock options" and will not qualify for any special tax benefits to the participant. A participant generally will not recognize any taxable income at the time the nonqualified option award is granted. However, upon its exercise, the participant will recognize ordinary income for federal tax purposes measured by the excess of the then fair market value of the Common Stock over the exercise price. The income realized by the participant will not be subject to income and other employee withholding taxes. A participant's basis for determination of gain or loss upon the subsequent disposition of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of a nonqualified option award will be the amount paid for such Common Stock plus any ordinary income recognized as a result of the exercise of such option award. Upon disposition of any Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a nonqualified option award, the difference between the sale price and the participant's basis in the Common Stock willinformation be treated as soliciting material or specifically incorporates it by reference into a capital gaindocument filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or loss and generally will be characterized as long-term gain or loss if the Common Stock has been held for more than one year at its disposition. In general, there will be no federal income tax deduction allowedExchange Act.

NEW PLAN BENEFITS The following table sets forth information,Securities Act of 1933, as of November 3, 2004, concerning the benefits or amounts that will be received by or allocated to the non-employee directors and all non-employee directors as a group under the 2004 Plan,amended, except to the extent such benefits or amounts are determinable as of November 3, 2004: 2004 PLAN NAME AND POSITION DOLLAR VALUE ($) NUMBER OF UNITS (1) ----------------- ---------------- --------------- Mark E. Schwarz, Director 71,250 25,000 (2) Steven J. Pully, Director 50,895 17,858 (3) (1) The awards under the 2004 Plan and the shares underlying any such award may be subject to certain vesting, exercise, acceleration, and/or other rights, restrictions, and conditions, at various exercise prices, in each case, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

The option will vest on November 3, 2005 and will expire on November 3, 2010. (3) On November 3, 2004,specifically incorporates the CompensationAudit Committee awarded Steven J. Pully an option to purchase 17,858 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.85 per share. The option will vest on November 3, 2005 and will expire on November 3, 2010. Recommendation of the Board of Directors The Board believes that the adoption of the 2004 Plan will enable the Company and its shareholders, through the future grant of stock options based upon a Director's increase in equity position, to continue to secure the benefit of the incentives inherent in director stock ownership. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE THE 2004 PLAN. PROPOSAL THREE: APPROVAL OF AN EMPLOYEE STOCK AWARD PLAN There will be presented to the meeting a proposal to adopt the 2004 Employee Incentive Stock Award Plan (the "Employee Plan"). The Employee Plan will replace the 1993 Employee Stock Award Plan, which expiredReport therein by its terms on October 13, 2003. The Board believes stock options play an important role in attracting and retaining the services of outstanding personnel and in encouraging such employees to have a greater financial investment in the Company (although the Employee Plan does not necessarily require them to hold for investment the stock received under the Employee Plan). The Board has approved the Employee Plan and directed that it be submitted to the shareholders for approval. Description of the Proposed Employee Plan Administration. The Employee Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee ("Committee"), which is comprised of three non-employee directors who are not employed by the Company, who are not eligible to receive awards under the Employee Plan, and who satisfy the "independence" requirements under rules issued by the SEC and Nasdaq. Eligibility. All regular, full-time employees of the Company, its operating divisions, affiliates, subsidiaries, Company-operated restaurants, and other employees designated from time to time by the Committee ("Employees or "Participants") are eligible to participate in the Employee Plan. As of November 1, 2004, there were approximately 150 individuals eligible to participate in the Employee Plan. Shares Subject to the Plan. The total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or transferred to Employees under the Employee Plan shall not exceed 500,000. Awards granted under the Employee Plan that expire or terminate without being exercised may be regranted. Awards and Limitations. No Employee may receive grants under the Employee Plan in any given year that, singly or in the aggregate, cover more than 50,000 shares of Common Stock. Exercise Price. The exercise price for any option granted under the Employee Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Fair market value is defined in the Employee Plan as the closing price for the Common Stock on Nasdaq on the date of the option award. The fair market value of the Common Stock was $2.85 on November 3, 2004. Terms of Option Awards. For all awards under the Employee Plan, the minimum vesting period is six (6) months after grant and the maximum exercise period is five years after vesting. Payment for shares purchased pursuant to exercise of an option award must be made at the time of exercise in cash or other payment method approved by the Committee. Term of the Employee Plan. The Employee Plan terminates three years from December 15, 2004 or such other date as the Board may determine, and no awards may be granted thereafter. Option Exercise and Transfer. Awards granted pursuant to the Employee Plan may not be transferred other than as provided in the Employee Plan and may only be exercised by the participant, or, in the event of his death, by his heirs or estate. Upon the death (or permanent disability) of an Employee, any outstanding unvested award becomes immediately vested and the option award may be exercised by the Employee's heirs, estate, or guardian within one year following the Employee's death (or commencement of such disability), after which any unexercised option award terminates. If an Employee's employment terminates for any reason other than death or disability, any unvested option awards terminate, and the Employee will have thirty (30) days within which to exercise vested options. In the event of a "change of control" of the Company, as defined in the Employee Plan, all outstanding option awards will become immediately vested and exercisable. Plan Amendment and Modification. The Committee may amend or terminate the Employee Plan, including modification or waiver of terms as they apply to individual Participants. However, shareholder approval is required for any amendment that would: increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Employee Plan; materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants in the Employee Plan; or modify the eligibility requirements for, or decrease the minimum exercise price of, any options. No amendment or termination of the Employee Plan may adversely affect the rights of any Participant under any then outstanding award without the consent of the Participant. The Employee Plan provides for automatic adjustments to prevent dilution or enlargement of the Participant's rights in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, or similar transaction. No adjustments or reduction of the exercise price of any outstanding award may be made in the event of a decline in the price of the Common Stock, either by reducing the exercise price of outstanding awards or by canceling outstanding awards in connection with regranting incentives at a lower price to the same Participant. Federal Income Tax Consequences Under the Employee Plan. Following is an explanation of the U.S. federal income tax consequences for grantees who are subject to tax in the U.S. Incentive Stock Options. Option awards under the Plan are treated as incentive options ("ISO"). The grant of an ISO does not result in income for the grantee or a deduction for the Company. The exercise of an ISO would not result in income for the grantee if the grantee (i) does not dispose of the shares within two (2) years after the date of grant or one (1) year after the transfer of shares upon exercise, and (ii) is an employee of the Company from the date of grant and through and until three (3) months before the exercise date. If these requirements are met, the basis of the shares upon later disposition would be the option price. Any gain will be taxed to the Employee as long-term capital gain and the Company would not be entitled to an deduction. The excess of the market value on the exercise date over the option price is an item of tax preference, potentially subject to the alternative minimum tax. If the Employee disposes of the shares prior to the expiration of either of the holding periods, the Employee would recognize ordinary income and the Company would be entitled to a deduction equal to the lesser of the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date minus the option price or the amount realized on disposition minus the option price. Any gain in excess of the ordinary income portion would be taxable as long-term or short-term capital gain. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE THE EMPLOYEE PLAN. PROPOSAL FOUR: APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO DECLASSIFY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS On October 20, 2004, the Board of Directors approved a proposal to amend the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation to delete Section 8.2, which currently provides that the Board be divided into two classes of Directors, Class I and Class II, with each class elected for a term expiring at the annual meeting of the Company's shareholders held in the second year following their election. The amended and substituted Section 8.2 would provide for one class of Directors beginning with the slate of Directors proposed to the shareholders at the annual meeting of the Company's shareholders in 2005. Members of the single class would be subject to re-election every year. The proposal to amend the Restated Articles of Incorporation requires the approval of holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote. The text of the existing and proposed versions of Section 8.2 is set forth below. Current Section 8.2 of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.2 The directors shall be divided into two (2) classes with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, designated Class I and Class II. Class I shall be composed of four (4) directors who shall hold office until the 1994 Annual meeting and until their respective successors shall be elected and shall qualify. Class II shall be composed of three (3) directors (the initial members of this class being designated in the Plan), who shall hold office until the annual meeting of the shareholders in 1993 and until their respective successors shall be elected and shall qualify. Upon expiration of the initial terms of the office of directors as classified above, their successors shall be elected for a term expiring at the annual meeting of the Corporation's shareholders held in the second year following the year of their election. Any director elected to fill any vacancy on the Board of Directors shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which such vacancy occurs. Section 8.2 as amended to reflect the changes discussed above in Proposal --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Four. --- 8.2 Beginning with the Company's 2004 annual meeting of shareholders, if the shareholders vote to amend the Restated Articles to so provide, there shall be one (1) class of directors, who shall be elected annually. Those directors currently referred to as Class I Directors, who are nominated for election at the 2004 annual meeting of shareholders, if elected, will hold office until the 2005 annual meeting of shareholders, at which time they, or their successors, must be nominated for election as members of a single class of directors. Those directors currently referred to as Class II Directors, who were elected at the 2003 annual meeting of shareholders to hold office until the 2005 annual meeting of shareholders, will complete their terms at the 2005 annual meeting of shareholders, at which time they, or their successors, must be nominated for election as members of a single class of directors. Any director elected to fill any vacancy on the Board of Directors shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director whose position such newly elected director fills. If Proposal Four is not approved by the shareholders, directors will continue to be elected by class, with the members of each class holding office for a term to expire at the annual meeting of the Company's shareholders held in the second year following the year of their election. Recommendation of the Board of Directors Management and the Board of Directors believes that one class of directors to be annually re-elected is consistent with good governance practices and provides greater accountability of the Board to the Company's shareholders. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE THIS AMENDMENT TO THE RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION. INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON Our non-employee directors may benefit from the 2004 Plan as non-employee directors may be eligible to participate in the 2004 Plan and may receive benefits and awards under the 2004 Plan. Certain non-employee directors have already received awards under the 2004 Plan that are subject to shareholder approval of the 2004 Plan. These awards are described in this Proxy Statement under the caption "NEW PLAN BENEFITS". The Board of Directors, in approving the 2004 Plan, may have different and/or conflicting interests than or with the shareholders of the Company. In addition, the Board of Directors, management of the Company, and the shareholders affiliated with the Company may have different and/or conflicting interests than or with the shareholders of the Company that are not affiliated with the Company in any capacity other than in their capacity as a shareholder of the Company. SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2005 ANNUAL MEETING If a shareholder wishes to present a proposal at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders tentatively scheduled for December 14, 2005, the shareholder must deliver his or her proposal to the Company at its principal executive offices no later than July 15, 2005 in order to have that proposal included in the proxy materials of the Company for such Annual Meeting of Shareholders. If a shareholder wishes to present a proposal at the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, but does not wish to include the proposal in the proxy materials of the Company for such Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the shareholder must notify the Company in writing of his or her intent to make such presentation no later than September 28, 2005 or the Company shall have the right to exercise its discretionary voting authority when such proposal is presented at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, without including any discussion of that proposal in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. To be in proper form, a shareholder's notice must include the specified information concerning the proposal or nominee as described in the Company's Bylaws. A shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal or nomination is encouraged to seek independent counsel with regard to the Company's Bylaws and SEC requirements. The Company will not consider any proposal or nomination that does not meet its Bylaw requirements and the SEC's requirements for submitting a proposal or nomination. Notices of intention to present proposals at the Company's 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders should be addressed to the Corporate Secretary, Pizza Inn, Inc., 3551 Plano Parkway, The Colony, TX 75056, or by fax to (469) 384-5061, or by e-mail to corporate_secretary@pizzainn.com. -------------------------------- The Company reserves the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements. reference.

A.Oversight of the Financial Reporting Process

1. Interview and retain the Company’s independent accountant, consider the accounting firm’s independence and effectiveness, and approve the engagement fee and other compensation to be paid to the independent accountant.
2. On an annual basis, the Committee shall evaluate the independent accountant’s qualifications, performance, and independence. To assist in this undertaking, the Committee may request that the independent accountant submit a report (which report shall be reviewed by the Committee) describing (a) the independent accountant’s internal quality-control procedures, (b) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the accounting firm or by any inquiry or investigations by government or professional authorities within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the independent accountant, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues, and (c) all relationships the independent accountant has with the Company and relevant third parties to determine the independent accountant’s independence. In making its determination, the Committee shall consider auditing, consulting, tax services, information technology services, and other professional services rendered by the independent accountant and its affiliates.

3. Review on an annual basis the experience and qualifications of the senior members of the audit team. Discuss the knowledge and experience of the independent accountant and the senior members of the audit team with respect to the Company’s industry.

(a) any difficulties encountered in the course of the audit work, including any restrictions on the scope of activities or access to required information and any disagreements with management;
(b) any accounting adjustments that were proposed by the independent accountant that were not agreed to by the Company;
(c) communications between the independent accountant and its national office regarding any issues on which it was consulted by the audit team and matters of audit quality and consistency; and
(d) any changes required in the planned scope of the audit.
7. Communicate with the independent accountant regarding critical accounting policies and practices to be used in preparing the audit report, and such other matters as the SEC and the Nasdaq stock market may direct by rule or regulation.

2. Establish regular and separate systems of reporting to the Committee by each of management and the independent accountant regarding any significant judgments made in management’s preparation of the financial statements and the view of each as to the appropriateness of such judgments.
3. Review with the independent accountant and management the extent to which changes or improvements in financial or accounting practices have been implemented. This review should be conducted at an appropriate time subsequent to implementation of changes or improvements, as decided by the Committee.
4. Advise the Board about the Company’s policies and procedures for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the Company’s code(s) of conduct.
5. Establish procedures for receiving accounting complaints and concerns and anonymous submissions from employees and others regarding questionable accounting matters.
6. Periodically discuss with the chief executive officer and chief financial officer (a) significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal controls that could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data, and (b) any fraud that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls.
7. Take reasonable steps to ensure that no officer, director, or any person acting under their direction fraudulently influences, coerces, manipulates, or misleads the independent accountant for purposes of rendering the Company’s financial statements materially misleading.

The Committee shall have the authority and sufficient funding to retain special legal, accounting or other consultants (without seeking Board approval) to advise the Committee. The Committee may conduct or authorize investigations into or studies of matters within the Committee’s scope of responsibilities as described herein, and may retain, at the expense of the Company, independent counsel or other consultants necessary to assist the Committee in any such investigations or studies.
VII.  MISCELLANEOUS
Nothing contained in the Charter is intended to expand applicable standards of liability under statutory or regulatory requirements for the directors of the Company or members of the Committee. The purposes and responsibilities outlined in this Charter are meant to serve as guidelines rather than as inflexible rules and the Committee is encouraged to adopt such additional procedures and standards as it deems necessary from time to time to fulfill its responsibilities. This Charter, and any amendments thereto, shall be displayed on the Company’s web site and a printed copy of such shall be made available to any shareholder of the Company who requests it.
