TABLE OF CONTENTS
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Pizza Inn, Inc. (the Company) is filing this amendment to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended June 25, 2006, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October
10, 2006 (the 10-K) to (i) provide a corrected copy of the Companys Restated Articles of
Incorporation filed as Exhibit 3.2 to the 10-K, (ii) offer additional disclosure and correction for
two risk factors listed under Item 1A of Part II of the 10-K, and (iii) to amend each Item of Part
III of the 10-K previously incorporated by reference from the Companys definitive proxy statement,
to be filed pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act in connection with the
registrants annual meeting of shareholders scheduled for December 13, 2006.
As this amendment only relates to an exhibit, Item 1A of Part II, and Items 10 through 14 of Part
III, inclusive, of the 10-K, the previously issued consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto remain unchanged. No attempt has been made in this amendment to modify or update
disclosures in the 10-K except as required to address the matters set forth in this amendment.
This amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the 10-K or modify or update
any related disclosures. Information not affected by this amendment is unchanged and reflects
disclosure made at the time of the filing of the 10-K. Accordingly, this amendment should be read
in conjunction with the 10-K and the Companys filings made with the Securities and Exchange
Commission subsequent to the filing of the 10-K, including any amendments to those filings.
The only changes to the text of Item 1A of Part II of the 10-K are as follows:
|
- |
|
Additional cautionary language pertaining to the expiration of the Wells
Fargo forbearance agreement on October 1, 2006 was added to the end of the second risk
factor. |
|
|
- |
|
Consolidated short-term payment obligations shown in the third risk factor
includes the approximately $2.8 million owed by the Company to Ronald W. Parker, the
Companys former President and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to the settlement
agreement entered into between the parties. |
Pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 12b-15 promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, the entire Exhibit 3.2 is attached hereto and the complete text of Item 1A of
Part II and each of Items 10 through 14 of Part III, inclusive, is set forth herein, as amended,
including those portions of the text that have not been amended from that set forth in the 10-K.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In addition to the other information contained in this report, the following risks may affect
us. Among the risks are: (i) risks associated with our business, (ii) risks associated with our
common stock and (iii) risks associated with our industry. Our business, financial condition, cash
flows or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks.
Risks Associated with Ongoing Operations
As a result of losses in recent quarters, our financial condition has been materially weakened
and our liquidity has decreased.
We have incurred losses of $490,000, $601,000, $477,000, and $4,421,000 in the first, second,
third, and fourth quarters, respectively, of the fiscal year ended June 25, 2006. As a result, our
financial condition has been materially weakened and our liquidity diminished, and we remain
vulnerable both to unexpected events (such as a sudden spike in block cheese prices or fuel prices)
and to general declines in our operating environment (such as that resulting from significantly
increased competition).
2
We are in default under our loan agreement, which has reduced available borrowing capacity
under our revolving credit line and resulted in diminished liquidity.
Since September 2005 we have been in default of our loan agreement with Wells Fargo Bank for
on-going violations of certain financial ratio covenants in the loan agreement. As a result, Wells
Fargo has reduced the availability of revolving credit loans under the loan agreement from
$6,000,000 to $2,250,000. The reduction in available borrowing capacity may diminish our cash flow
and liquidity positions and adversely affect our ability to (i) meet our new restaurant development
goals, and (ii) effectively address competitive challenges and adverse operating and economic
conditions.
On August 14, 2006, we entered into a limited forbearance agreement, with Wells Fargo under
which Wells Fargo agreed to forbear until October 1, 2006 from exercising its rights and remedies
as a result of our existing defaults under the revolving credit loan agreement, provided that the
aggregate principal amount of all such revolving credit loans does not exceed $2,250,000 at any one
time. Wells Fargo and we entered into the forbearance agreement to provide us with time to pursue
discussions with Wells Fargo regarding various possible options for refinancing our indebtedness
and liabilities to Wells Fargo under the revolving credit loan agreement. The limited forbearance
agreement has not been extended beyond the October 1, 2006 date. If Wells Fargo exercises the
rights and remedies available to it under the loan agreement, the Companys liquidity, financial
condition, business, and results of operations would likely be materially adversely affected.
Our substantial indebtedness could materially adversely affect our business and limit our
ability to plan for or respond to changes in our business.
As of September 20, 2006, our short-term payment obligations were approximately $10.7 million,
representing consolidated indebtedness of $7.9 million that has been reclassified on our balance
sheet as current debt since December 25, 2005 as a result of our on-going loan default, and $2.8
million owed to our former president and chief executive officer under a settlement agreement. Our
indebtedness and the fact that a portion of our reduced cash flow from operations must be used to
make principal and interest payments on our loan indebtedness and payments scheduled under the
settlement agreement could have important consequences to us. For example, they could:
|
|
|
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our loan agreement; |
|
|
|
|
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; |
|
|
|
|
reduce the availability of our cash flow for other purposes; |
|
|
|
|
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the
industry in which we operate, thereby placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to
our competitors that may have less debt; and |
|
|
|
|
limit, by the financial and other restrictive covenants in our loan agreement, our
ability to borrow additional funds. |
Payments we are required to make under a settlement agreement with our former president and
chief executive officer could result in diminished liquidity and cash flow positions.
On September 24, 2006, we entered into a settlement agreement with Ronald W. Parker, our
former president and chief executive officer, relating to the arbitration actions filed by the
Company and Mr. Parker in January 2005. Under the settlement agreement, we are obligated to pay
Mr. Parker $2.8 million through a structured payment schedule beginning on the date of the
settlement with the final payment of $2.05 million to be paid within 180 days of the date of the
settlement. All payments under the settlement agreement would automatically and immediately become
due and payable upon any sale-leaseback transaction involving our corporate headquarters office and
distribution facilities. These payments will reduce the availability of our cash flow for other
purposes, limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and
industry, and alter or postpone implementation of our growth strategy. We expect to be able to
fund the payments under the settlement agreement by utilizing available equity in our corporate
headquarters office and distribution facilities to refinance existing mortgage debt on that
property and/or engage in a sale-leaseback transaction for that property. We may not
3
be able to
realize sufficient value from our real estate assets or otherwise be able to fund the payments
under the settlement agreement. If we are not able to fund the payments under the settlement
agreement or
obtain financing, or enter into a sale-leaseback transaction, on terms reasonably satisfactory
to us, then our liquidity, financial condition, business, and results of operations may be
materially adversely affected.
If we do not prevail in litigation with a former beverage supplier, we could be liable for
significant monetary damages.
An adverse outcome in our litigation with PepsiCo, Inc. could result in a liability of
approximately $2.6 million, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity, financial
position and results of operation. No accrual for any amount of potential liability for this
matter has been made as of June 25, 2006.
We also face risks of litigation from customers, franchisees, employees and others in the
ordinary course of business, which diverts our financial and management resources. Any adverse
litigation or publicity may negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Claims of illness or injury relating to food quality or food handling are common in the food
service industry. In addition to decreasing our sales and profitability and diverting our
management resources, adverse publicity or a substantial judgment against us could negatively
impact our financial condition, results of operations and brand reputation, hindering our ability
to attract and retain franchisees and grow our business.
Further, we may be subject to employee, franchisee and other claims in the future based on,
among other things, discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination and wage, rest break and meal
break issues, including those relating to overtime compensation. If one or more of these claims
were to be successful or if there is a significant increase in the number of these claims, our
business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed.
If we are not able to implement our growth strategy successfully, which includes opening new
domestic Buffet Units and reimaging existing restaurants, our ability to increase our revenues and
operating profits could be materially adversely affected.
A significant component of our growth strategy for developing new domestic franchised and
Company-owned restaurants is the implementation of our new prototype Buffet Unit concept. We and
our franchisees face many challenges in opening new restaurants, including, among other things,
selection and availability of suitable restaurant locations and suitable employees, increases in
food, paper, labor, utilities, fuel, employee benefits, insurance and similar costs, negotiation of
suitable lease or financing terms, constraints on permitting and construction of restaurants,
higher than anticipated construction costs, the hiring, training and retention of management and
other personnel and securing required domestic or foreign governmental permits and approvals.
The opening of additional franchise restaurants also depends, in part, upon the availability
of prospective franchisees who meet our criteria. Our new concept development program may require
considerable management time as well as start-up expenses for franchisee recruitment and training
and market development before any significant revenues and earnings are generated.
Accordingly, we may not be able to meet planned growth targets, open restaurants in markets
now targeted for expansion or operate profitably in existing markets. In addition, even if we are
able to continue to open new restaurants, we may not be able to keep restaurants from closing at a
faster rate than we are able to open restaurants.
An increase in the cost of cheese or other commodities, including fuel and labor, could
adversely affect our profitability and operating results.
An increase in our operating costs could adversely affect our profitability. Factors such as
inflation, increased food costs, increased labor and employee benefit costs and increased energy
costs may
4
adversely affect our operating costs. Most of the factors affecting costs are beyond our
control and, in many cases, we may not be able to pass along these increased costs to our customers
or franchisees even if
we attempted to do so. Most ingredients used in our pizza, particularly cheese, are subject
to significant price fluctuations as a result of seasonality, weather, availability, demand and
other factors. Sustained increases in fuel and utility costs could adversely affect the
profitability of our restaurant and distribution businesses. Labor costs are largely a function of
the minimum wage for a majority of our restaurant and distribution center personnel and, generally,
are a function of the availability of labor. Further government initiatives, such as proposed
minimum wage rate increases, could adversely affect us as well as the restaurant industry in
general.
Shortages or interruptions in the delivery of food products could adversely affect our
operating results.
We, and our franchisees, are dependent on frequent deliveries of food products that meet our
specifications. Our Company-owned domestic restaurants purchase substantially all food and related
products from our distribution division, Norco. Domestic franchisees are only required to purchase
the flour mixture, spice blend and certain other items from Norco, and changes in purchasing
practices by domestic franchisees as a result of delivery disruptions or otherwise could adversely
affect the financial results of our distribution operation. Interruptions in the delivery of food
products caused by unanticipated demand, problems in production or distribution by Norco, our
suppliers, or our distribution service providers, inclement weather (including hurricanes and other
natural disasters) or other conditions could adversely affect the availability, quality and cost of
ingredients, which would adversely affect our operating results.
If we are not able to continue purchasing our key pizza ingredients from our current suppliers
or find suitable replacement suppliers our financial results could be materially adversely
affected.
We are dependent on a few suppliers for our key ingredients. Domestically, we rely upon sole
suppliers for our cheese, flour mixture and certain other key ingredients. Alternative sources for
these ingredients may not be available on a timely basis to supply these key ingredients or be
available on terms as favorable to us as under our current arrangements. Any disruptions in our
supply of key ingredients could adversely affect our operations.
We are subject to extensive government regulation, and any failure to comply with existing or
increased regulations could adversely affect our business and operating results.
We are subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations, including
those relating to:
|
|
|
the preparation and sale of food; |
|
|
|
|
building and zoning requirements; |
|
|
|
|
minimum wage, citizenship, overtime and other labor requirements; |
|
|
|
|
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act; and |
|
|
|
|
working and safety conditions. |
If we fail to comply with existing or future laws and regulations, we may be subject to
governmental or judicial fines or sanctions. In addition, our capital expenditures could increase
due to remediation measures that may be required if we are found to be noncompliant with any of
these laws or regulations.
We are also subject to a Federal Trade Commission rule and to various state and foreign laws
that govern the offer and sale of franchises. These laws regulate various aspects of the franchise
relationship, including terminations and the refusal to renew franchises. The failure to comply
with these laws and regulations in any jurisdiction or to obtain required government approvals
could result in a ban or
5
temporary suspension on future franchise sales, fines or other penalties,
or require us to make offers of rescission or restitution, any of which could adversely affect our
business and operating results.
Our earnings and business growth strategy depends on the success of our franchisees, and we
may be harmed by actions taken by our franchisees that are outside of our control.
A significant portion of our earnings comes from royalties generated by our franchised
restaurants. Franchisees are independent operators whose employees are not our employees. We
provide limited training and support to franchisees, but the quality of franchised restaurant
operations may be diminished by any number of factors beyond our control. Consequently,
franchisees may not successfully operate restaurants in a manner consistent with our standards and
requirements, or may not hire and train qualified managers and other store personnel. If they do
not, our image and reputation may suffer, and revenues could decline. Our franchisees may take
actions that adversely affect the value of our intellectual property or reputation. Our domestic
and international franchisees may not operate their franchises successfully. If one or more of our
key franchisees were to become insolvent or otherwise were unable or unwilling to pay us our
royalties, our business and results of operations would be adversely affected.
Loss of key personnel or our inability to attract and retain new qualified personnel could
hurt our business and inhibit our ability to operate and grow successfully.
Our success will depend to a significant extent on our leadership team and other key
management personnel. We may not be able to retain our executive officers and key personnel or
attract additional qualified management. Our success also will depend on our ability to attract
and retain qualified personnel to oversee our restaurants, distribution operations and
international operations. The loss of these employees or any inability to recruit and retain
qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
Our current insurance coverage may not be adequate, our insurance premiums may increase and we
may not be able to obtain insurance at acceptable rates, or at all.
Our insurance policies may not be adequate to protect us from liabilities that we incur in our
business. In addition, in the future our insurance premiums may increase and we may not be able to
obtain similar levels of insurance on reasonable terms, or at all. Any such inadequacy of, or
inability to obtain, insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
The Companys management has concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures
are not effective, and that a material weakness in financial reporting existed at June 25, 2006 as
a result of recent turnover in its accounting staff and reassignment of responsibilities among
remaining staff, which may affect the Companys ability to accurately and timely complete and file
its financial statements. If the Company is not able to accurately and timely complete its
financial statements and file the reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
the Company could face SEC or NASDAQ inquiries, its stock price may decline, and/or its financial
condition could be materially adversely affected.
The Companys management has concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective as of the end of the period covered by this report and that this ineffectiveness, which
created a material weakness, resulted primarily from recent, significant turnover in the Companys
accounting staff, including in the positions of chief financial officer and controller, and
reassignment of responsibilities among remaining accounting staff, during the fiscal year ended
June 25, 2006. The Company believes that the accounting staff turnover and reassignment of
responsibilities, and the resulting ineffectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures, may adversely affected the Companys ability to accurately and timely complete its
financial statements. If the Company is not able to accurately and timely complete its financial
statements and file the reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company
could face SEC or NASDAQ inquiries, its stock price may decline, and/or its financial condition
could be materially adversely affected.
6
Risks Associated With Our Common Stock
Even though our common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, it has less
liquidity than the stock of many other companies quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Markets Global Market
or on a national securities exchange.
The trading volume in our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market has been relatively low
when compared with larger companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Market or the other stock
exchanges. Shareholders, therefore, may experience difficulty selling a substantial number of
shares for the same price at which shareholders could sell a smaller number of shares. We cannot
predict the effect, if any, that future sales of our common stock in the market, or the
availability of shares of common stock for sale in the market, will have on the market price of our
common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the market, or the potential for
large amounts of sales in the market, may cause the price of our common stock to decline or impair
our future ability to raise capital through sales of our common stock.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate in the future, and these fluctuations may
be unrelated to our performance.
General market price declines or overall market volatility in the future could adversely
affect the price of our common stock, and the current market price may not be indicative of future
market prices.
Risks Associated With Our Industry
If we are not able to compete effectively, our business, sales and earnings could be
materially adversely affected.
The restaurant industry in general, as well as the pizza segment of the industry, is intensely
competitive, both internationally and domestically, with respect to price, service, location and
food quality. We compete against many regional and local businesses. There are many
well-established competitors with substantially greater brand awareness and financial and other
resources than we have. Some of these competitors may be better established in markets where
restaurants we operate or that are operated by our franchisees are, or may be, located. Experience
has shown that a change in the pricing or other marketing or promotional strategies, including new
product and concept developments, of one or more of our major competitors can have an adverse
impact on sales and earnings and our chainwide restaurant operations.
We could also experience increased competition from existing or new companies in the pizza
segment of the restaurant industry. If we are unable to compete, we could experience downward
pressure on prices, lower demand for our products, reduced margins, the inability to take advantage
of new business opportunities and the loss of market share, all of which would have a material
adverse effect on our operating results.
We also compete on a broader scale with quick service, fast casual and other international,
national, regional and local restaurants. The overall food service market and the quick service
restaurant sector are intensely competitive with respect to food quality, price, service,
convenience and concept. We also compete within the food service market and the restaurant
industry for management and hourly employees, suitable real estate sites and qualified franchisees.
Norco is also subject to competition from outside suppliers. If other suppliers who meet our
qualification standards were to offer lower prices or better service to our franchisees for their
ingredients and supplies and, as a result, our franchisees chose not to purchase from Norco, our
financial condition, business and results of operations would be adversely affected.
7
Changes in consumer preferences and perceptions could decrease the demand for our products,
which would reduce sales and harm our business.
Restaurant businesses are affected by changes in consumer tastes, national, regional and local
economic conditions, demographic trends, disposable purchasing power, traffic patterns and the
type, number and location of competing restaurants. For example, if prevailing health or dietary
preferences cause consumers to avoid pizza and other products we offer, or quick service restaurant
offerings generally, in favor of foods that are perceived as healthier, our business and operating
results would be harmed.

AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Board has a separately designated Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for
providing independent, objective oversight of the Companys accounting functions and internal
controls. The Audit Committee is currently composed of directors John Harkey, Robert Page and
Ramon Phillips, each of whom are independent, and acts under a written charter approved and adopted
by the Board on April 15, 2003. The Audit 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 attached as an
exhibit to this Form. Each of the members is independent as defined by NASDAQs 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 SEC
Rule 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 Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.
The Company anticipates relying on the cure period provided under 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 Companys next annual meeting of shareholders.
10
Audit Committee Financial Expert
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.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Companys 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, all of the Companys
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 noted. One late Form 4 was filed on behalf Mr.
Clairday on March 6, 2006 to report a disposition of shares on February 8, 2006. One late Form 3
was filed on behalf of Mr. Smith on June 29, 2006 to report his becoming subject to Section 16
reporting requirements. In making these statements, the Company has relied upon examination of
its records, copies of Forms 3, 4 and 5, and amendments thereto, provided to the Company and the
representations of its directors, executive officers and 10% shareholders.
Code of Ethics
The Company is committed to maintaining the highest standards of business conduct and
corporate governance, which we believe are essential to running our business efficiently, serving
our shareholders well and maintaining the Companys integrity in the marketplace. The Company has
adopted a Code of Business Conduct that applies to directors and to all Company employees and a
Code of Ethical Conduct for Financial Managers. These codes work in conjunction with the Companys
Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and Board committee charters, and together form the framework
for governance of the Company. These documents are available at the Companys website at
http://www.pizzainn.com. We will post on this website any amendments to the Code of Business
Conduct or waivers of the Code of Business Conduct for directors and executive officers.

Compensation Committee Report On Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee administers the Companys executive compensation program, and its
members are appointed by the Board. In this regard, the role of the Compensation Committee is to
oversee our compensation plans and policies, annually review and approve all executive officers
compensation decisions, and administer our stock option plans (including reviewing and approving
stock option grants to executive officers). The Compensation Committees charter reflects these
various responsibilities, and the Compensation Committee and the Board periodically review and
revise the charter. The Compensation Committees 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 Companys
Human Resources and Legal Departments support the Compensation Committee in its work and in some
cases the Human Resources Department acts pursuant to delegated authority to fulfill various
functions in administering the Companys 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
Committees 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 Companys
shareholders. To accomplish this, the Compensation Committee seeks to structure and maintain a
16
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 Companys 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 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 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.
On March 31, 2005, the Company and Mr. Taft entered into a Non-Qualified Stock Option Award
Agreement as a part of Mr. Tafts 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 for more detail.
In structuring Mr. Tafts employment agreement, the Compensation Committee and Executive
Committee sought to offer a competitive and fair compensation package tied to Mr. Tafts experience
and qualifications while also aligning his interests with those of the Companys shareholders. A
significant portion of Mr. Tafts 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. Tafts 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.
17
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
participants 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 Company and/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 Companys 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 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 below.
The Company has no current plans to issue stock options to its officers or employees.
However, we will continue to monitor changes in the marketplace 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 vigilant 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 policy of the Board and the Compensation 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. It is not the policy, practice or intended result of executive management, the Board
or the Compensation Committee in granting stock options to engage in or approve of backdating
option grants, selecting option exercise prices that differ from the underlying stocks price on
the grant date (except as may be allowed by applicable laws and accounted for in accordance with
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.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Severance and Change in Control Benefits
Mr. Taft and Mr. Olgreen and the Companys 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 were 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.

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. Tafts 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. Tafts 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 Companys
election, in lump sum or in monthly increments. If the Company terminates Mr. Tafts 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 Companys
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.
Preators 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. Olgreens 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. Olgreens or
Mr. Preators employment without cause, each would be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to six
months of the executives 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. Upon such a termination each would receive for a period of six months following the date
of termination of employment, all of the medical, life insurance and other benefits then currently
provided to the respective executive, and a lump sum payment of the value of any accrued vacation
days and any unpaid extra days (as defined in the Companys employee policy manual) that the
executive would have been entitled to receive if the executive had worked through December 31,
2005. If the Company terminated Mr. Olgreen or Mr. Preator for cause, the Company would be
required to pay the respective executive salary plus accrued bonus, accrued vacation days and any
unpaid extra days due to the executive through the date of termination. If Mr. Preator or Mr.
Olgreen terminated his employment with or without any reason through December 31, 2005, the Company
would be required to pay to the executive a lump sum payment equal to six months of the executives
then current annual salary plus a lump sum payment equal to any unpaid bonus the executive would
have been entitled to receive had he worked through December 31,
2005. Upon such a termination
each would also receive a lump sum payment of the value of any accrued vacation days and any unpaid
extra days that the executive would have been entitled to receive if the executive had worked
through December 31, 2005.
On December 28, 2005, Mr. Preator submitted his resignation as Chief Financial Officer of the
Company, thereby becoming entitled to receive severance benefits under his employment agreement.
The following table sets forth payments made to Mr. Preator under his employment agreement.

During fiscal 2006 the Company withheld $7,250 in fees otherwise due to Mr. Clairday and offset those amounts
against the Advance Foods Debt (defined below in Certain Relationships and Related |
21
|
|
|
|
|
Transactions). The Company and Mr.
Clairday reached an agreement in June 2006 regarding repayment of the debt (see Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions). |
|

|
While serving as Acting CEO of the Company from January 4, 2005 through March
30, 2005, Mr. Page received no compensation for serving as a director, except that he,
like all Company directors, was eligible to receive reimbursement of expenses incurred
in attending Board and committee meetings. |
In addition to annual and meeting fees, each non-employee director is eligible to receive
stock option awards under the 2005 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Award Plan (the 2005
Directors Plan). Under the 2005 Directors Plan, eligible directors receive, as of the first day
of the Companys fiscal year, options for Common Stock equal to twice the number of shares of
Common Stock purchased during the preceding fiscal year or purchased by exercise of previously
granted options during the first ten days of the current fiscal year. On the first day of the
first fiscal year immediately following the day on which a non-employee director became eligible to
participate in the 2005 Directors Plan, that director would receive options to acquire two shares
of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock owned by such director on the first day of the
fiscal year. Stock options granted under the 2005 Directors Plan have an exercise price equal to
the market price of the Common Stock on the date of grant and are first exercisable one year after
grant. Each eligible director will be entitled to options for no more than 40,000 shares per
fiscal year under the terms of the 2005 Directors Plan.
In fiscal 2006, stock options for 20,000 shares were granted to Mr. Harkey pursuant to the
2005 Directors Plan at an exercise price of $2.74 per share. The $2.74 price per share is the
closing price of the Common Stock on June 27, 2005, the date all such options were granted. See
Equity Compensation Plan Information below.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
The Company is a business organization with diverse operations, and it engages in hundreds of
purchase, sale and other transactions annually. Other than as specifically set forth herein we
currently have no business arrangements with corporations and other organizations in which a
Company director, executive officer or nominee for director may also be a director, trustee or
investor or have some other direct or indirect relationship.
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 10
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
Companys distribution division. In fiscal year 2006, purchases by these franchisees made up 6.5%
of the Companys food and supply sales. Royalty payments, license fees and area development fees
from Mr. Clairday and such franchisees made up 3.5% of the Companys franchise revenues in fiscal
year 2006. As of June 25, 2006, Advance Food Services, Inc. and Clairday Food Services, Inc.
collectively owed the Company approximately $442,000, primarily for royalties and purchases of
products from the Companys distribution division.
In addition to normal trade receivables, Advance Food Services, Inc. owed the Company
approximately $339,000 (Advance Foods Debt), representing amounts incurred by Advance Foods, Inc.
for royalty and advertising fee payments and Norco product deliveries during a period in 1996 and
1997 following Mr. Clairdays sale of that company to unrelated third parties and prior to his

Audit Fees. This category represents aggregate fees billed by BDO Seidman, LLP for professional
services rendered for the audit of the Companys annual financial statements for the years ended
June 26, 2005 and June 25, 2006, respectively, and the reviews of the financial statements included
in the Companys Forms 10-Q for those years.
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 Companys financial statements. This
category includes fees related to the performance of audits and attest services not required by
statute or regulations, audits of the Companys benefits plans, review of the Companys 2006
Uniform Franchise Offering Circular and providing consent to include audited financial statements,
and accounting consultations regarding the application of generally accepted accounting principles
to proposed transactions.
Tax Fees. These fees consist of amounts billed by BDO Seidman, LLP for tax services, including
preparation and review of the Companys federal and state income tax returns, during fiscal years
2005 and 2006.
All Other Fees. No fees falling within this category were paid to BDO Seidman, LLP during fiscal
years 2005 and 2006.
In considering and authorizing these payments to the independent auditors for services
unrelated to performance of the audit of the Companys financial statements, the Audit Committee
has determined that all such services undertaken by the independent auditors are not inconsistent
with the independent auditors performance of the audit and financial statement review functions
and are compatible with maintaining the independent auditors independence.
Policy of the Audit Committee for Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of the
Independent Auditor
The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation for, and overseeing
the work of, the independent auditor. In accordance with Audit Committee policy and the
requirements of law,
all services to be provided by BDO Seidman, LLP are pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
Pre-approval applies to audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. In
some cases, pre-approval is provided by the full Audit Committee for up to a year, and relates to a
particular defined task or scope of work and is subject to a specific budget. In other cases, the
Chairman of the Audit Committee has the delegated authority from the Audit Committee to pre-approve
additional services, and such pre-approvals are then communicated to the full Audit Committee. In
fiscal 2006, 100% of all audit services and non-audit services performed by BDO Seidman, LLP were
pre-authorized by the Audit Committee.

4.3 4.17 Deleted
RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF PIZZA INN, INC. Page 3
ARTICLE V.
5.1. The distinctive designation of the series of Preferred Stock authorized hereby shall be
10% Non-Voting Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock). The number of
authorized shares of Preferred Stock shall be 5,000,000. Shares of Preferred Stock which have been
issued and reacquired in any manner, including shares purchased or redeemed, shall (upon compliance
with any applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of Missouri) have the status of
authorized and unissued shares. The Preferred Stock shall only be issued prior to August 1, 1992
in lieu of payment of interest on the Term Loan pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement. Any reallocation of the respective interests of Lloyds Bank Plc and Kleinwort Benson
Limited between themselves with respect to ownership of the Preferred Stock shall not be subject to
the provisions of Section 4.10. Except as hereinafter provided in Section 5.7, the Preferred Stock
shall be non-voting; provided, however, that the Preferred Stock may be converted into voting
Common Stock as hereinafter set forth in Section 5.5 hereof.
5.2. The holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends at the
annual rate of ten percent ($0.10) per share, and no more. Such dividend shall be cumulative and
shall be payable within 110 days after the end of the Corporations fiscal year commencing with the
first fiscal year ended subsequent to the issuance of any shares of Preferred Stock and within 110
days of the end of each fiscal year ended thereafter (each of such dates being a dividend payment
date) with respect to each fiscal year of the Corporation ending subsequent to the issuance of any
shares of Preferred Stock, to stockholders of record on the respective date, not exceeding 50 days
preceding such dividend payment date, as shall be fixed for this purpose by the Board of Directors
in advance of payment of each particular dividend. In the event that Preferred Stock has been
outstanding for less than a full fiscal year or the Corporation shall have changed its fiscal year,
as the case may be, such dividend shall accrue at the annual rate of 10% only for such period of
time as such Preferred Stock shall have been issued and outstanding. All dividends paid with
respect to shares of Preferred Stock shall be paid pro rata to the holders entitled thereto.
Dividends on such Preferred Stock shall be fully cumulative and shall accrue (whether or not earned
or declared) from and after their respective issuance date. Holders of Preferred Stock will not be
entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative
dividends. No interest or sum of money in lieu of interest shall be payable in respect of any
accumulated unpaid dividends.
5.3. (a) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the affairs of the Corporation, then, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the
holders of Common Stock, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be
entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
shareholders an amount in cash equal to $1.00 for each share of Preferred Stock outstanding (which
amount is hereinafter referred to as the liquidation preference), together with an amount in cash
equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or
winding up. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, holders of Preferred Stock shall not be
entitled to any distribution in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs
of the Corporation. If the assets of the Corporation are not sufficient to pay in full the
liquidation payments payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Preferred
RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF PIZZA INN, INC. Page 4
Stock, then the holders of all such shares shall share ratably in any distribution of assets
in accordance with the amount which would be payable on such distribution if the amounts to which
the holders of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are entitled were paid in full.
(b) For the purposes of this Section 5.3, neither the voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange or
transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all
of the property or assets of the Corporation nor the consolidation or merger of the Corporation
with any other corporation shall be deemed to be a voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, unless such voluntary sale, conveyance, exchange,
transfer, consolidation, or merger shall be in connection with a plan of liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Corporation.
5.4. (a) Subject to subsection (b) of this Section 5.4, to the extent the Corporation shall
have funds legally available for such redemption, the Corporation, at the option of the Board of
Directors, may redeem, in whole or in part, the shares of Preferred Stock at the time outstanding,
at any time or from time to time, upon notice given as hereinafter specified, at a redemption price
of $1.00 per share, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5.4(a) hereof, unless the full
cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of preferred Stock shall have been paid or
contemporaneously are declared and paid for all past dividend periods, none of the shares of
preferred Stock shall be redeemed pursuant to Section 5.4(a) hereof unless all outstanding shares
of Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed.
(c) On or prior to 100 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Corporation, commencing
with the fiscal year ending in 1991, to the extent the Corporation shall have funds legally
available therefor, the Corporation shall apply an amount equal to Excess Cash Flow as of the end
of the immediately preceding fiscal year of the Corporation to mandatory redemption, in whole or in
part, of the shares of Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as hereinafter
specified, at a redemption price of $1.00 per share, together with accrued and unpaid dividends
thereon to the redemption date. If any shares of Preferred Stock shall be outstanding on August 1,
1995, to the extent the Corporation shall have funds legally available for such payment, the
Corporation shall redeem all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $1.00
per share, together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date.
(d) If the Corporation shall fail to discharge its obligation to redeem any outstanding shares
of Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5.4(c) hereof (the Mandatory Redemption Obligation), the
Mandatory Redemption Obligation shall be discharged as soon as the Corporation is able to discharge
much Mandatory Redemption Obligation. If and so long as the Mandatory Redemption Obligation with
respect to the Preferred Stock shall not be fully discharged, the Corporation shall not declare or
pay any dividend or make any distribution on, or, directly or indirectly, purchase, redeem or
satisfy any mandatory redemption, sinking and/or other similar obligations in respect of Common
Stock (other than as a result of a reclassification of Common Stock, or the exchange or conversion
of one class or series of Common Stock for or into another class or series of Common Stock, or
other than through the use of the proceeds of a
RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF PIZZA INN, INC. Page 5
substantially contemporaneous sale of the Common Stock) or any warrants, rights or options
exercisable for or convertible into any of the Common Stock.
(e) In the event that fewer than all the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are to be
redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed shall be determined by the Board of Directors and the
shares shall be redeemed on a pro rata basis among holders of Preferred Stock.
(f) In the event that the Corporation shall redeem shares of Preferred Stock, notice of every
redemption of shares of Preferred Stock shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, and
mailed not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date addressed to the
holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses as they shall
appear on the books of the Corporation; provided, however, that failure to give such notice or any
defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the procedure for the
redemption of any shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed except as to any holder to whom the
Corporation has failed to give such notice or except as to any holder to whom notice was defective.
Each such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of shares of Preferred
Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the
number of such shares to be redeemed; (iii) the redemption price; (iv) the place or places where
certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (v)
that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date.
(g) Notice having been mailed as aforesaid and provided that on or before the redemption date
specified in such notice all funds necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the
Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the
holders of the shares so called for redemption, so as to be and to continue to be available
therefor, then, from and after the redemption date dividends on the shares of Preferred Stock so
called for redemption shall cease to accrue, and said shares shall no longer be deemed to be
outstanding and shall not have the status of shares of Preferred Stock, and all rights of the
holders thereof as shareholders of the Corporation (except the right to receive from the
Corporation the redemption price and any accrued and unpaid dividends) shall cease. Upon surrender
in accordance with said notice of the certificates for any shares so redeemed (properly endorsed or
assigned for transfer, if the Board of Directors shall so require and the notice shall so state),
such shares shall be redeemed by the Corporation at the redemption price aforesaid. In case fewer
than all the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate or
certificates shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without cost to the holder thereof.
5.5. Upon the occurrence of a default resulting from the Corporations failure to make a
scheduled payment of principal or accrued interest on the Term Loan, the Revolving Credit Loan or
the Asset Paydown Loan (as such loans are defined in the Plan) and the continuance of such default
for 90 calendar days, the Agent for the Banks (as defined in the Plan) will be entitled to convert
all shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock equal to 51% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis; provided, however, that the Agent will
only be entitled to consummate the foregoing conversion if at the time of default the Agent is
holding shares of Preferred Stock with an aggregate par value equal to or greater than $250,000.00;
and provided further that in the event the Corporation has reduced the
RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF PIZZA INN, INC. Page 6
outstanding principal indebtedness on such loans to an aggregate of $15,000,000.00, the
Preferred Stock will be converted into a lesser percentage of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis
as defined by the following formula: (par value of Preferred Stock held by the Agent on the date
of exercise of conversion, divided by the par value of the maximum amount of Preferred Stock
previously issued) times 51%.
5.6. No holder of shares of stock authorized or issued pursuant to ARTICLE IV or this ARTICLE
V shall have any preferential or preemptive rights of subscription to any shares of capital stock
of this Corporation, either now or hereafter authorized, or to any obligations convertible into
capital stock of this Corporation, issued or sold, nor any rights of subscription to any thereof,
other than such rights, if any, as are hereinabove stated in this Article V with respect to the
Preferred Stock.
5.7. The holders of the Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote upon all questions
presented for shareholder vote, and the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have no right to vote
upon any such question except as otherwise expressly provided by Missouri law, these Articles of
Incorporation or by any other law, rule or regulation to which the Corporation is or may become
subject.
5.8. The Corporation reserves the right to alter, amend, or repeal any provision contained in
its Articles of Incorporation in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by the statutes of
Missouri, and all rights and powers conferred herein are granted subject to this reservation; and,
in particular, the Corporation reserves the right and privilege to amend its Articles of
Incorporation from time to time so as to authorize other or additional classes of shares (including
preferential shares), to increase or decrease the number of shares of any class now or hereafter
authorized, to establish, limit or deny to stockholders of any class the right to purchase or
subscribe for any shares of stock of the Corporation of any class, whether now or hereafter
authorized or whether issued for cash, property or services or as a dividend or otherwise, or to
purchase or subscribe for any obligations, bonds, notes, debentures, or securities or stock
convertible into shares of stock of the Corporation or carrying or evidencing any right to purchase
shares of stock of any class, and to vary the preferences, priorities, special powers,
qualifications, limitations, restrictions and the special or relative rights or other
characteristics in respect to the shares of each class, and to accept and avail itself of or
subject itself to, the provisions of any statutes of Missouri hereafter enacted pertaining to
general and business corporations, to exercise all the rights, powers and privileges conferred upon
corporations organized thereunder or accepting the provisions thereof and to assume the obligations
and duties imposed therein, upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of
each class whose separate vote is required thereon.
ARTICLE VI.
In the absence of fraud, no contract or other transaction between the Corporation and any
other person, corporation, firm, syndicate, association, partnership, or joint venture shall be
wholly or partially invalidated or otherwise affected by reason of the fact that one or more of the
directors of the Corporation are or are to become Directors or officers of such other corporation,
firm, syndicate or association, or members of such partnership or joint venture, or are pecuniarily
or otherwise interested in such contractual transaction, provided, that the fact such director or
RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF PIZZA INN, INC. Page 7
directors of the Corporation are so situated or so interested or both, shall be disclosed or
shall have been known to the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Any director or directors of
the Corporation who is also a director or officer of such other corporation, firm, syndicate or
association, or a member of such partnership, or joint venture, or pecuniarily or otherwise
interested in such contract or transaction, may be counted for the purpose of determining the
existence of a quorum at any meeting of the Board of Directors of the Corporation which shall
authorize any such contract or transaction and in the absence of fraud, and as long as he acts in
god faith, any such director may vote there at to authorize any such contract or transaction, with
like force and effect as if he were not a director or officer of such other corporation, firm,
syndicate, or association, or a member of such partnership or joint venture, or pecuniarily or
otherwise interested in such contract or transaction; it is expressly provided, however, that the
Board of Directors may not authorize the contract or transaction without the affirmative vote of a
majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors constitute less
than a quorum.
ARTICLE VII.

solely as fraud, physical disability or mental incapacity. Any director elected to fill a

Law of Missouri, as are necessary, suitable, proper, convenient or expedient to the attainment of
the purposes set forth in Article III above.
Except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, or the Articles of Incorporation
or the By-laws of the Corporation, as from time to time amended, all powers of management,
direction and control of the Corporation shall be, and hereby are, vested in the Board of
Directors.
The By-laws of the Corporation may from time to time be altered, amended, suspended or
repealed, or new By-laws may be adopted by a majority vote of the Board of Directors, subject to
any and all restrictions imposed, or prohibitions provided, by the General and Business Corporation
Law of Missouri.
The Board of Directors may designate an Executive Committee in the manner and subject to the
limitations set forth in the By-laws of the Corporation.

required to be kept in the State of Missouri, pursuant to the laws thereof) at any place within or
without the State of Missouri.
ARTICLE XI.
11.1. The Corporation may agree to the terms and conditions upon which any director or officer
accepts his office or position and in its By-laws or by contract may agree to indemnify and protect
each and all of such persons and any person who, at the request of the Corporation
RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF PIZZA INN, INC. Page 9
served as a director or officer of another Corporation in which this Corporation owned stock
against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by any or all of them, and all liability imposed
or threatened to be imposed upon any or all of them, by reason of or arising out of their or any of
them being or having been a director or officer of this Corporation or of such other corporation;
but any such By-law or contractual provision shall not be exclusive of any other right or rights
of any such director or officer to be indemnified and protected against such costs and liabilities
which he may otherwise possess.
11.2. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceedings, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of this
Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of this
Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of this Corporation as a director, officer,
employee, partner, trustee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines, taxes and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of this Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit
or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere
or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
this Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he had reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
11.3. This Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit by or in the right of this
Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of this Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of this
Corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys fees)
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of this Corporation except that
no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty
to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of
all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnify for
such expenses which the Court shall deem proper. Any indemnification under this Article XI (unless
ordered by a Court) shall be made by this Corporation only as authorized in the specific instance
upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or
agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in this Article XI. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, or (2) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of
disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion,
RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF PIZZA INN, INC. Page 10
or (3) by the shareholders. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or
proceeding referred to in this Article XI, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he
shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys fees, actually and reasonably incurred
by him in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding.
11.4. Expenses incurred in defending any actual or threatened civil or criminal action, suit
or proceeding may be paid by this Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action,
suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific instance upon receipt of
an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or agent to
repay such amount unless it shall be ultimately determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by
the Corporation as authorized in this Article XI.
11.5. The indemnification provided by this Article XI shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any By-law, agreement,
vote of shareholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official
capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a
person who has caused to be a director, officer, employee, partner, trustee or agent and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
11.6. For the purposes of this Article XI, references to this Corporation include all
constituent corporations absorbed in a consolidation or merger as well as the resulting or
surviving corporation so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, partner,
trustee or agent of such a constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner,
trustee or agent of another enterprise shall stand in the same position under the provisions of
this Article XI with respect to the resulting surviving corporation in the same capacity.
11.7. In the event any provision of this Article XI shall be held invalid by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate any other provisions of this Article XI
and any other provisions of this Article XI shall be construed as if such invalid provisions had
not been contained in this Article XI.

Exhibit 15.1
CHARTER OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF PIZZA INN, INC.
(As amended on October 18, 2006)
This Charter identifies the purpose, composition, meeting requirements, committee
responsibilities, annual evaluation procedures, investigations, and studies of the Audit Committee
(the Committee) of the Board of Directors (the Board) of Pizza Inn, Inc., a Missouri
corporation (the Company).
I. PURPOSE
The Committee has been established to: (a) assist the Board in its oversight responsibilities
regarding (1) the integrity of the Companys financial statements, (2) the Companys compliance
with legal and regulatory requirements, and (3) the independent accountants qualifications and
independence; (b) prepare the report required by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC) for inclusion in the Companys annual proxy statement; (c) retain and
terminate the Companys independent accountant; (d) approve audit and non-audit services to be
performed by the independent accountant; and (e) perform such other functions as the Board may from
time to time assign to the Committee. In performing its duties, the Committee shall seek to
maintain an effective working relationship with the Board, the independent accountant, and
management of the Company.
II. COMPOSITION
The Committee shall be composed of at least three, but not more than five, members (including
a Chairperson), all of whom shall be independent directors, as such term is defined by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Act), and in the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq
stock exchange. The members of the Committee and the Chairperson shall be selected annually by the
Board and serve at the pleasure of the Board. A Committee member (including the Chairperson) may
be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Board. No person may be made a member of the
Committee if his or her service on the Committee would violate any restriction on service imposed
by any rule or regulation of the SEC or any securities exchange or market on which shares of the
common stock of the Company are traded. All members of the Committee shall have a working
familiarity with basic finance and accounting practices and be able to read and understand
financial statements at the time of their appointment. Committee members may enhance their
familiarity with finance and accounting by participating in educational programs conducted by the
Company or an outside consultant. The Chairperson will maintain regular liaison with the chief
executive officer, chief financial officer, and the lead partner of the independent accountant.
Except for Board and Committee fees, a member of the Committee shall not be permitted to
accept any fees paid directly or indirectly for services as a consultant, legal or financial
advisor, or any other fees prohibited by the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq stock exchange. In
addition, members of the Committee shall not be an affiliated person (as defined by the Act, SEC,
or Nasdaq) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Members of the Committee may receive his or
her Board and Committee fees in cash, Company stock or options, or other in-kind consideration as
determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee, as applicable, in addition to all other
benefits that other directors of the Company receive.
III. MEETING REQUIREMENTS
The Committee shall meet as necessary to enable it to fulfill its responsibilities. The
Committee shall meet at the call of its Chairperson, preferably in conjunction with regular Board
meetings. The Committee may meet by telephone conference call or by any other means permitted by
law or the Companys Bylaws. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum.
The Committee shall act on the affirmative vote of a majority of members present at a meeting at
which a quorum is present. Without a meeting, the Committee may act by unanimous written consent
of all members. The Committee shall determine its own rules and procedures, including designation
of a chairperson pro tempore, in the absence of the Chairperson, and designation of a secretary.
The secretary need not be a member of the Committee and shall attend Committee meetings and prepare
minutes. The Committee shall keep written minutes of its meetings, which shall be recorded or
filed with the books and records of the Company. Any member of the Board shall be provided with
copies of such Committee minutes if requested.
The Committee may ask members of management, employees, outside counsel, the independent
accountant, or others whose advice and counsel are relevant to the issues then being considered by
the Committee, to attend any meetings and to provide such pertinent information as the Committee
may request.
The Chairperson of the Committee shall be responsible for leadership of the Committee,
including preparing the agenda, presiding over Committee meetings, making Committee assignments,
and reporting the Committees actions to the Board from time to time (but at least once each year)
as requested by the Board.
As part of its responsibilities to foster free and open communication, the Committee should
meet periodically with management and the independent accountant in separate executive sessions to
discuss any matters that the Committee or any of these groups believe should be discussed
privately. In addition, the Committee, or at least its Chairperson, should meet with the
independent accountant and management as necessary to review the Companys financial statements
prior to their public release consistent with the provisions set forth below in Section IV. The
Committee may also meet from time to time with the Companys investment bankers, investor relations
professionals, and financial analysts who follow the Company.
IV. COMMITTEE RESPONSIBILITIES
In carrying out its responsibilities, the Committee believes its policies and procedures
should remain flexible, in order to best react to changing conditions and to ensure to the Board
and shareholders that the corporate accounting and reporting practices of the Company are in
accordance with all requirements and are of the highest quality. In carrying out these
responsibilities, the Committee will:

|
Meet at least annually with the chief financial officer and the

B. Review of Documents and Reports
|

financial statements and quarterly financial statements (including disclosures
under the section entitled Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation) and any reports or other financial
information submitted to any governmental body, or the public, including any
certification, report, opinion, or review rendered by the independent
accountant, considering, as appropriate, whether the information contained in
these documents is consistent with the information contained in the financial
statements and whether the independent accountant and legal counsel are
satisfied with the disclosure and content of such documents. |
|
|
2. |
|
Review and discuss with management and the independent
accountant earnings press releases, as well as financial information and
earnings guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies. The Committee need

types of information to be disclosed and the type of presentation to be made in
any earnings release or guidance. |
|
|
3. |
|
Review reports from management and the independent accountant
on the Companys subsidiaries and affiliates, compliance with the Companys
code(s) of conduct, applicable law, and insider and related party transactions. |
|
|
4. |
|
Review with management and the independent accountant any
correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee
complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding the
Companys financial statements or accounting policies. |
|
5. |

required by the rules of the SEC to be included in the Companys annual proxy

|
|
7. |
|

|
|
8. |
|
Review any restatements of financial statements that have
occurred or were recommended. |

|

consider the accounting firms 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 accountants 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 accountants 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 accountants 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. The committee
should also consider whether the provision of any of these non-audit services
is compatible with the independence standards under the guidelines of the SEC
and of the Independence Standards Board and shall pre-approve the retention of
the independent accountant for any non-audit services. |
|
|
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 Companys industry. The Committee shall ensure the regular
rotation of the lead audit partner and audit review partner as required by law
and consider whether there should be a periodic rotation of the Companys
independent accountant. |
|
|
4. |
|
Review the performance of the independent accountant and
approve any proposed discharge of the independent accountant when circumstances
warrant. |
|
5. |
|
Establish and periodically review the Companys hiring policies
for employees or former employees of the independent accountant to ensure that
no conflicts exist by virtue of the Companys employment during the previous
twelve months, in a senior management position, former employees of the
independent auditor. |
|
|
6. |
|
Review with the independent accountant any problems or
difficulties the auditor may have encountered and any management or internal
control letter provided by the independent accountant and the Companys
response to that letter. Such review should include: |
|
(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. |
|
|
8. |
|
Oversee the independent accountant relationship by discussing
with the independent accountant the nature and rigor of the audit process,
receiving and reviewing audit reports and ensuring that the independent
accountant has full access to the Committee (and the Board) to report on any
and all appropriate matters. |
|
|
9. |
|
Following completion of the annual audit, review separately
with each of management and the independent accountant any significant
difficulties encountered during the course of the audit, including any
restrictions on the scope of work or access to required information |
|
|
10. |
|
Discuss with the independent accountant prior to the audit the
general planning and staffing of the audit. |
|
|
11. |
|
Obtain a representation from the independent accountant that
Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 has been followed. |
|
|
12. |
|
Discuss any matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards
No. 61. |
D. Internal Control Matters
|
1. |
|
Discuss with management policies with respect to risk
assessment and risk management. Although it is managements duty to assess and
manage the Companys exposure to risk, the Committee needs to discuss
guidelines and policies |
|
|
|
to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is handled and
review the steps management has taken to monitor and control the Companys risk
exposure. |
|
|
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 managements 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 Companys policies and procedures
for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the Companys 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 Companys 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
Companys 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 Companys financial statements materially misleading. |
|
|
8. |
|
Review and approve all transactions between the Company and any
related person that are required to be disclosed pursuant to Securities and
Exchange Commission Regulation S-K, Item 404 (Item 404). Related person
and transactions shall have the meanings given to such terms in Item 404, as
amended from time to time. |
While the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not
the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Companys financial
statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. This is the responsibility of management and the independent accountant.
V. ANNUAL EVALUATION PROCEDURES
The Committee shall annually assess its performance to confirm that it is meeting its
responsibilities under this Charter. In the review, the Committee shall consider, among other
things, (a) the appropriateness of the scope and content of this Charter, (b) the appropriateness
of matters presented for information and approval, (c) the sufficiency of time for consideration of
agenda items, (d) frequency and length of meetings, and (e) the quality of written materials and
presentations. The Committee may recommend to the Board such changes to this Charter as the
Committee deems appropriate. The
Committee may also evaluate its objectivity, knowledge of the Companys business, and judgment, as
well as members attendance, preparation, and participation in meetings.
VI. INVESTIGATIONS AND STUDIES
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 Committees
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 Companys web site and a printed copy of such
shall be made available to any shareholder of the Company who requests it.
Charter approved and adopted by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors on April
15, 2003, and amended by approval and adoption of the Audit Committee and approval of the Board of
Directors on October 18, 2006.
