PIZZA INN, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Pizza Inn, Inc.
(the "Company") have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2002. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
current year presentation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company's
financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. All
adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring nature.
In December of 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure." SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" to provide alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting
for stock-based employee compensation and amends the disclosure requirements of
Statement 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net
income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based
employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 also amends APB Opinion No. 28 "Interim
Financial Report", to require disclosure about those effects in interim
financial information. SFAS No. 148 is effective for the Company's interim
periods after December 29,2002.
SFAS No. 123 encourages but does not require a fair value based method of
accounting for employee stock options or similar equity instruments. SFAS No.
123 allows an entity to elect to continue to measure compensation costs under
APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," but requires pro forma
disclosure of net earnings as if the fair value based method of accounting had
been applied.
The Company elected to follow APB No. 25, and related Interpretations in
accounting for employee stock options because the alternative fair value
accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation," requires use of option valuation models that were not developed
for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, because the
exercise price of our employee stock options equals or exceeds the fair value of
the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required to
be determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock options granted
subsequent to June 25, 1995 under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. For
purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the stock options
is amortized over the option vesting periods. The Company's pro forma
information follows (in thousands, except for earnings per share information):

impact of additional awards anticipated in future years.
(2) The Company entered into an agreement effective December 29, 2002 with
its current lender to provide a $7.0 million revolving credit line that will
expire December 31, 2004, replacing a $9.5 million line that was due to expire
December 31, 2003. The $7.0 million revolving credit line will reduce quarterly
by $500,000 beginning March 31, 2003 through December 31, 2004. Interest on the
revolving credit line is payable monthly. Interest is provided for at a rate
equal to prime less an interest rate margin from 1.0% to 0.5% or, at the
Company's option, at the LIBOR rate plus 1.25% to 1.75%. The interest rate
margin is based on the Company's performance under certain financial ratio
tests. A 0.375% to 0.5% annual commitment fee is payable on any unused portion
of the revolving credit line. As of March 30, 2003 and March 24, 2002, the
variable interest rates were 3.06% and 3.65%, respectively, using a LIBOR rate
basis. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit line as of March 30, 2003
and March 24, 2002 were $2.7 million and $7.8 million, respectively.
The Company entered into a term note effective March 31, 2000 with its current
lender. The $5,000,000 term note had outstanding balances of $1.4 million and
$2.6 million at March 30, 2003 and March 24, 2002, respectively. The term note
requires monthly principal payments of $104,000 with the balance maturing on
March 31, 2004. Interest on the term loan is also payable monthly. Interest is
provided for at a rate equal to prime less an interest rate margin of 0.75% or,
at the Company's option, at the LIBOR rate plus 1.5%. As of March 30, 2003 and
March 24, 2002, the variable interest rates were 2.81% and 3.44%, respectively.
The Company entered into an agreement effective December 28, 2000, as amended,
with its current lender to provide up to $8.125 million of financing for the
construction of the Company's new headquarters, training center and distribution
facility. The construction loan converted to a term loan effective January 31,
2002 with the unpaid principal balance to mature on December 28, 2007. This
term loan will amortize over a term of twenty years, with principal payments of
$34,000 due monthly. Interest on this term loan is also payable monthly.
Interest is provided for at a rate equal to prime less an interest rate margin
of 0.75% or, at the Company's option, to the LIBOR rate plus 1.5%. As of March
30, 2003 and March 24, 2002, the variable interest rates were 2.78% and 3.40%,
respectively. The Company, to fulfill bank requirements, has caused the
outstanding principal amount to be subject to a fixed interest rate by utilizing
an interest rate swap agreement as discussed below. The $8.125 million term
loan had an outstanding balance of $7.6 million at March 30, 2003 and $8.1
million at March 24, 2002.
(3) The Company entered into an interest rate swap effective February 27,
2001, as amended, designated as a cash flow hedge, to manage interest rate risk
relating to the financing of the construction of the Company's new headquarters
and to fulfill bank requirements. The swap agreement has a notional principal
amount of $8.125 million with a fixed pay rate of 5.84% which began November 1,
2001 and will end November 19, 2007. The swap's notional amount amortizes over
a term of twenty years to parallel the terms of the term loan. SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" requires that for
cash flow hedges, which hedge the exposure to variable cash flow of a forecasted
transaction, the effective portion of the derivative's gain or loss be initially
reported as a component of other comprehensive income in the equity section of
the balance sheet and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the
forecasted transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the
derivative's gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately. At March 30,
2003 there was no hedge ineffectiveness. The Company's expectation is that the
hedging relationship will continue to be highly effective at achieving
offsetting changes in cash flows.
(4) On April 30, 1998, Mid-South Pizza Development, Inc., an area developer
of the Company ("Mid-South") entered into a promissory note whereby, among other
things, Mid-South borrowed $1,330,000 from a third party lender (the "Loan").
The proceeds of the Loan, less transaction costs, were used by Mid-South to
purchase area developer rights from the Company for certain counties in Kentucky
and Tennessee. As of March 30, 2003 the outstanding principal balance of this
loan was approximately $720,000 and matures on May 17, 2006. As part of the
terms and conditions of the Loan, the Company was required to guarantee the
obligations of Mid-South under the Loan. In the event such guarantee ever
required payment, the Company has personal guarantees from certain Mid-South
principals and a security interest in certain personal property. In the event
the personal guarantees and security interest pledged do not sufficiently
fulfill the obligation, the Company would assume the obligation. As of this
date, the obligation could be fully offset by the assumption of the area
development rights which are currently pledged to Mid-South's third party
lender.
(5) On January 18, 2002 the Company was served with a lawsuit filed by
Blakely-Witt & Associates, Inc. alleging Pizza Inn sent or caused to be sent
unsolicited facsimile advertisements. The plaintiff has requested this matter be
certified as a class action. We plan to vigorously defend our position in this
litigation. We cannot assure you that we will prevail in this lawsuit and our
defense could be costly and consume the time of our management. We are unable to
predict the outcome of this case. However, an adverse resolution of this matter
could materially affect our financial position and results of operations.
(6) In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149, "Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 149), which
amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". FAS 149 is effective for
contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging
relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company does not anticipate a
material impact to the financial statements upon adoption of FAS 149.
Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 02-16, "Accounting by a Customer
(Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor", which
provides guidance on how a reseller of vendor's products should account for cash
consideration received from a vendor. As required by the EITF, the Company will
apply the provisions to new arrangements, including modifications of existing
arrangements, and does not anticipate a material impact to the financial
statements as a result of adopting this EITF.
In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirement for
Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" (FIN 45).
FIN 45 requires that a liability for the fair value of an obligation for
guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002 be recorded in the
financial statements of the guarantor. Guarantees pre-existing before the
implementation of FIN 45 are required to be disclosed in financial statements
issued after December 15, 2002. As of March 30, 2003, the Company has disclosed
in these notes separately the guarantee of Mid-South Pizza Development, Inc.
(Mid-South) an area developer of the Company. As of this date, any obligation
from the guarantor could be fully offset by the assumption of the area developer
rights which are currently pledged to Mid-South's third party lender. The
Company has no other guarantee relationship.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46) which requires the consolidation of
variable interest entities, as defined. FIN 46 is applicable to variable
interest entities created after January 31, 2003. Variable interest entities
created prior to February 1, 2003, must be consolidated effective July 1, 2003.
Disclosures are required currently if the Company expects to consolidate any
variable interest entities. The Company does not currently believe that any
entities will be consolidated with the Company as a result of FIN 46.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -----------------------
Quarter and nine months ended March 30, 2003 compared to the quarter and nine
months ended March 24, 2002.
Earnings per share for the quarter ended March 30, 2003 was $.04 versus
$.05 for the same quarter last year. Net income was $376,000 versus $478,000,
on revenues of $14.2 million versus $15.3 million in the previous year. For the
nine month period, earnings per share were $.26 versus $.16 last year. Net
income was $2,571,000 compared to $1,635,000 on revenues of $44.7 million versus
$48.6 million last year. The nine month period in fiscal 2003 includes the
reversal of a previously recorded pre-tax charge of approximately $1.9 million.
The charge was previously recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 to fully
reserve for the possible nonpayment for a note receivable owed to the Company
from the Company's former chief executive officer. The Company received payment
in full for the note receivable in December 2002.
Food and supply sales by the Company's Norco division include food and
paper products, equipment, marketing material, and other distribution revenues.
Food and supply sales for the quarter decreased 7% to $12,311,000 from
$13,292,000 compared to the same period last year. For the nine month period,
food and supply sales decreased 8% to $39,114,000 from $42,475,000. Lower
retail sales combined with a decrease in the sales price of cheese contributed
to the decrease in food and supply sales.
Franchise revenue, which includes income from royalties, license fees and
area development and foreign master license (collectively, "Territory") sales,
decreased 1% or $14,000 for the quarter compared to the same period last year
and 2% or $100,000 for the nine month period. Lower royalties, resulting from
lower retail sales, were partially offset by higher foreign master license fees.
Restaurant sales, which consist of revenue generated by Company-owned
training stores decreased 12% or $61,000 for the quarter, compared to the same
period of the prior year. For the nine month period, restaurant sales
decreased 15% or $232,000. These decreases are a result of the closing of the
Delco unit during September of the prior year combined with lower comparable
sales at the two remaining stores.
Other income consists primarily of interest income and non-recurring
revenue items. Other income decreased 25% or $32,000 for the quarter, compared
to the same period of the prior year. For the nine month period, other income
decreased 36% or $164,000. These decreases are primarily due to lower vendor
incentives and lower interest income.
Cost of sales decreased 8% or $1,064,000 for the quarter and decreased 11%
or $4,262,000 for the nine month period. As a percentage of sales for the
quarter, cost of sales remained the same as the prior year at 91%. For the nine
month period, cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 89% from 92%
compared to the same period of the prior year due primarily to lower cheese
prices as compared to the same period last year.
Franchise expenses include selling, general and administrative expenses
directly related to the sale and continuing service of franchises and
Territories. These costs increased 47% or $312,000 for the quarter and 25% or
$507,000 for the nine month period compared to the same periods last year.
These increases are primarily due to increased franchise service staffing
levels, foreign master license taxes, and increased advertising expenses.
General and administrative expenses decreased 9% or $87,000 for the quarter
and 50% or $1,586,000 for the nine months, compared to the same periods last
year. The nine month period decrease is primarily the result of the reversal in
December 2002 of a previously recorded pre-tax charge of approximately $1.9
million. The charge was previously recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2002 to fully reserve for the possible nonpayment for a note receivable owed to
the Company from the Company's former chief executive officer. The Company
received payment in full for the note receivable in December 2002.
Interest expense decreased 33% or $94,000 for the quarter and increased 12%
or $65,000 for the nine months, compared to the same periods of the prior year.
Lower interest rates and lower debt balances in the current year were offset by
capitalized interest of approximately $179,000 used in construction of the new
corporate headquarters in the prior year.
Provision for income taxes decreased 22% or $53,000 for the quarter, and
increased 57% or $483,000 for the nine months compared to the same periods in
the prior year. The effective tax rate was 34% for both the current and prior
quarters and nine months.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash provided by operations totaled $2,934,000 during the first nine months
of fiscal 2003 and was utilized, in conjunction with a portion of its cash
balance, primarily to pay down debt. Management believes that current cash and
cash equivalents, projected cash flows from operations, and its existing debt
capacity should be sufficient during fiscal 2003 and for the foreseeable future
to fund planned capital expenditures, working capital needs, and other cash
requirements.
Capital expenditures of $261,000 during the first nine months consist
primarily of the Company's implementation of a bar code system for its warehouse
operations, computer system upgrades, and office equipment.
Management believes that future operations will generate sufficient taxable
income, along with the reversal of temporary differences, to fully realize the
deferred tax asset, net of a valuation allowance of $225,000 primarily related
to the potential expiration of certain foreign tax credit carryforwards.
Additionally, management believes that taxable income based on the Company's
existing franchise base should be more than sufficient to enable the Company to
realize its net deferred tax asset without reliance on material, non-routine
income.
The Company entered into an agreement effective December 29, 2002 with its
current lender to provide a $7.0 million revolving credit line that will expire
December 31, 2004, replacing a $9.5 million line that was due to expire December
31, 2003. The $7.0 million revolving credit line will reduce quarterly by
$500,000 beginning March 31, 2003 through December 31, 2004. Interest on the
revolving credit line is payable monthly. Interest is provided for at a rate
equal to prime less an interest rate margin from 1.0% to 0.5% or, at the
Company's option, at the LIBOR rate plus 1.25% to 1.75%. The interest rate
margin is based on the Company's performance under certain financial ratio
tests. A 0.375% to 0.5% annual commitment fee is payable on any unused portion
of the revolving credit line. As of March 30, 2003 and March 24, 2002, the
variable interest rates were 3.06% and 3.65%, respectively, using a LIBOR rate
basis. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit line as of March 30, 2003
and March 24, 2002 were $2.7 million and $7.8 million, respectively.
The Company entered into a term note effective March 31, 2000 with its
current lender. The $5,000,000 term note had outstanding balances of $1.4
million and $2.6 million at March 30, 2003 and March 24, 2002, respectively.
The term note requires monthly principal payments of $104,000 with the balance
maturing on March 31, 2004. Interest on the term loan is also payable monthly.
Interest is provided for at a rate equal to prime less an interest rate margin
of 0.75% or, at the Company's option, at the LIBOR rate plus 1.5%. As of March
30, 2003 and March 24, 2002, the variable interest rates were 2.81% and 3.44%,
respectively.
The Company entered into an agreement effective December 28, 2000, as
amended, with its current lender to provide up to $8.125 million of financing
for the construction of the Company's new headquarters, training center and
distribution facility. The construction loan converted to a term loan effective
January 31, 2002 with the unpaid principal balance to mature on December 28,
2007. This term loan will amortize over a term of twenty years, with principal
payments of $34,000 due monthly. Interest on this term loan is also payable
monthly. Interest is provided for at a rate equal to prime less an interest
rate margin of 0.75% or, at the Company's option, to the LIBOR rate plus 1.5%.
As of March 30, 2003 and March 24, 2002, the variable interest rates were 2.78%
and 3.40%, respectively. The Company, to fulfill bank requirements, has caused
the outstanding principal amount to be subject to a fixed interest rate by
utilizing an interest rate swap agreement as discussed below. The $8.125
million term loan had an outstanding balance of $7.6 million at March 30, 2003
and $8.1 million at March 24, 2002.
The Company entered into an interest rate swap effective February 27,
2001, as amended, designated as a cash flow hedge, to manage interest rate risk
relating to the financing of the construction of the Company's new headquarters
and to fulfill bank requirements. The swap agreement has a notional principal
amount of $8.125 million with a fixed pay rate of 5.84% which began November 1,
2001 and will end November 19, 2007. The swap's notional amount amortizes over
a term of twenty years to parallel the terms of the term loan. SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" requires that for
cash flow hedges, which hedge the exposure to variable cash flow of a forecasted
transaction, the effective portion of the derivative's gain or loss be initially
reported as a component of other comprehensive income in the equity section of
the balance sheet and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the
forecasted transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the
derivative's gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately. At March 30,
2003 there was no hedge ineffectiveness. The Company's expectation is that the
hedging relationship will continue to be highly effective at achieving
offsetting changes in cash flows.
On April 30, 1998, Mid-South Pizza Development, Inc., an area developer of
the Company ("Mid-South") entered into a promissory note whereby, among other
things, Mid-South borrowed $1,330,000 from a third party lender (the "Loan").
The proceeds of the Loan, less transaction costs, were used by Mid-South to
purchase area developer rights from the Company for certain counties in Kentucky
and Tennessee. As of March 30, 2003 the outstanding principal balance of this
loan was approximately $720,000 and matures on May 17, 2006. As part of the
terms and conditions of the Loan, the Company was required to guarantee the
obligations of Mid-South under the Loan. In the event such guarantee ever
required payment, the Company has personal guarantees from certain Mid-South
principals and a security interest in certain personal property. In the event
the personal guarantees and security interest pledged do not sufficiently
fulfill the obligation, the Company would assume the obligation. As of this
date, the obligation could be fully offset by the assumption of the area
development rights which are currently pledged to Mid-South's third party
lender.
On January 18, 2002, the Company was served with a lawsuit filed by Blakely-Witt
& Associates, Inc. alleging Pizza Inn sent or caused to be sent unsolicited
facsimile advertisements. The plaintiff has requested this matter be certified
as a class action. We plan to vigorously defend our position in this litigation.
We cannot assure you that we will prevail in this lawsuit and our defense could
be costly and consume the time of our management. We are unable to predict the
outcome of this case. However, an adverse resolution of this matter could
materially affect our financial position and results of operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management's discussion and analysis is based on the Company's consolidated
financial statements and related footnotes contained within this report. The
Company's more critical accounting policies used in the preparation of those
consolidated financial statements are discussed below.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Significant estimates made by management include the
allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, deferred tax asset
valuation allowances, and legal accruals. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
The Company's Norco division sells food, supplies and equipment to
franchisees on trade accounts under terms common in the industry. Revenue from
such sales is recognized upon shipment. Norco sales are reflected under the
caption "food and supply sales." Shipping and handling costs billed to customers
are recognized as revenue.
Franchise revenue consists of income from license fees, royalties, and
Territory sales. License fees are recognized as income when there has been
substantial performance of the agreement by both the franchisee and the Company,
generally at the time the unit is opened. Royalties are recognized as income
when earned.
Territory sales are the fees paid by selected experienced restaurant
operators to the Company for the right to develop Pizza Inn restaurants in
specific geographical territories. When the Company has no continuing
substantive obligations of performance to the area developer or master licensee
regarding the fee, the Company recognizes the fee to the extent of cash
received. If continuing obligations exist, fees are recognized ratably during
the performance of those obligations.
Inventories, which consist primarily of food, paper products, supplies and
equipment located at the Company's distribution center, are stated at the lower
of FIFO (first-in, first-out) cost or market. Provision is made for obsolete
inventories and is based upon management's assessment of the market conditions
for its products.
Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from food and supply
sales and franchise royalties. The Company records a provision for doubtful
receivables to allow for any amounts which may be unrecoverable and is based
upon an analysis of the Company's prior collection experience, customer
creditworthiness, and current economic trends.
Notes receivable primarily consist of notes from franchisees for the
purchase of area development and master license territories and trade
receivables. These notes generally have terms ranging from one to five years
and interest rates of 8% to 12%. The Company records a provision for doubtful
receivables to allow for any amounts which may be unrecoverable and is based
upon an analysis of the Company's prior collection experience, customer
creditworthiness, and current economic trends.
The Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reflect the
estimated amount of deferred tax assets that may not be realized based upon the
Company's analysis of existing tax credits by jurisdiction and expectations of
the Company's ability to utilize these tax attributes through a review of
estimated future taxable income and establishment of tax strategies. These
estimates could be impacted by changes in future taxable income and the results
of tax strategies.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT
This report contains certain forward-looking statements (as such term
is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) relating to
the Company that are based on the beliefs of the management of the Company, as
well as assumptions and estimates made by and information currently available to
the Company's management. When used in this report, the words "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend" and similar expressions, as they
relate to the Company or the Company's management, identify forward-looking
statements. Such statements reflect the current views of the Company with
respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and
assumptions relating to the operations and results of operations of the Company
as well as its customers and suppliers, including as a result of competitive
factors and pricing pressures, shifts in market demand, general economic
conditions and other factors including but not limited to, changes in demand for
Pizza Inn products or franchises, the impact of competitors' actions, changes in
prices or supplies of food ingredients, and restrictions on international trade
and business. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize,
or should underlying assumptions or estimates prove incorrect, actual results
may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed,
estimated, expected or intended.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company has market risk exposure arising from changes in interest
rates. The Company's earnings are affected by changes in short-term interest
rates as a result of borrowings under its credit facilities which bear interest
based on floating rates.
At March 30, 2003 the Company has approximately $11.7 million of variable
rate debt obligations outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of
3.23%. A hypothetical 10% change in the effective interest rate for these
borrowings, assuming debt levels at March 30, 2003, would change interest
expense by approximately $33,000 for the nine months ended March 30, 2003.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
- ------------------------------------
a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their
evaluation as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's principal executive officer and principal
financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) are effective to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules
and forms.
b) Changes in internal controls. There were no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. There were no
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore there were no
corrective actions taken.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- ----------------------------
On January 18, 2002, the Company was served with a lawsuit filed by
Blakely-Witt & Associates, Inc. in the District Court, L-193rd Judicial
District, Dallas County, Texas (Cause No. 01-11043). The suit alleges Pizza Inn
sent or caused to be sent unsolicited facsimile advertisements to plaintiff and
others in violation of (i) 47 U.S.C. Section 227(b)(1)(C) and (b)(3), the
Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and (ii) Texas Business and Commerce Code
Section 35.47. The plaintiff has requested this matter be certified as a class
action. We plan to vigorously defend our position in this litigation. We cannot
assure you that we will prevail in this lawsuit and our defense could be costly
and consume the time of our management. We are unable to predict the outcome of
this case. However, an adverse resolution of this matter could materially affect
our financial position and results of operations.
