Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard;
Transfer of Listing
On November 9, 2006, Pizza Inn, Inc. (the Company) received a staff delinquency notice from
the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, LLP (Nasdaq) stating that, based upon information disclosed in the
Companys Form 10-Q for the period ended September 24, 2006, the Company fails to comply with the
minimum shareholders equity, minimum market value of listed securities, and minimum net income
requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Marketplace Rule
4310(c)(2)(B). The notice further stated that if the Company did not provide Nasdaq, on or before
November 24, 2006, with a specific plan to achieve and maintain compliance with at least one of the
three listing requirements, or if Nasdaq determines that a plan submitted by the Company does not
adequately address the deficiencies noted, the Companys securities would thereafter be delisted.
On November 24, 2006, the Company submitted to Nasdaq a proposed plan to regain compliance
with the minimum shareholders equity listing requirement through the realization of a gain on the
sale of the Companys corporate office and distribution facilities, which is expected to be
completed on or about December 29, 2006. The plan further proposed that the Company anticipates
remaining in compliance with the minimum shareholders equity listing requirement in the future by
generating net income that will be accretive to shareholders equity. Such net income projections
are based upon, among other things, the realization of certain anticipated cost savings and an
anticipated decrease in legal fees as a result of the settlement of certain litigated and
arbitrated matters.
On December 4, 2006, Nasdaq notified the Company that it believes that the Company has
presented a definitive plan evidencing its ability to achieve and sustain compliance with the
minimum shareholders equity listing requirement and therefore determined to grant the Company an
extension of time through January 12, 2007, provided that on or before that date the Company must:
(i) complete the sale of its corporate office and distribution facilities and (ii) furnish to
Nasdaq a publicly available report that includes (a) disclosure of the November 9, 2006 Nasdaq
deficiency letter, (b) a description of the completed transaction that enabled the Company to
satisfy the shareholders equity requirement, (c) an affirmative statement that as of the date of
the report the Company believes it has regained compliance with the shareholders equity
requirement based upon the completed transaction described, or a balance sheet no more than 60 days
old with pro forma adjustments as necessary to evidence compliance with the shareholders equity
requirements, and (d) a disclosure that Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Companys ongoing
compliance with the shareholders equity requirement and, if at the time of the Companys next
periodic report the Company does not evidence compliance, that it may be subject to delisting.
The Company anticipates the ability to satisfy the Nasdaq listing requirements and the
conditions set forth in the December 4, 2006 Nasdaq notification by the January 12, 2007 deadline.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to cure its noncompliance by
achieving or sustaining the shareholders equity requirements. If it is not able to do so, the
Company may not be able to maintain its Nasdaq listing.

Re: |

Dear Mr. Coleman:
On November 9, 2006, Staff notified the Company that it did not comply with Nasdaqs minimum
$2,500,000 stockholders equity or $35,000,000 market value of listed securities or $500,000 net
income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three
most recently completed fiscal years requirement set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B) (the
Rule). Based on our further review and the materials submitted on November 24, 2006,
Staff has determined to grant the Company an extension to regain compliance with the Rule, as
described below.
On October 20, 2006, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its office
building and distribution facility, which it anticipates closing by
December 29, 2006.1 As a
result, the Company expects to record a gain of $546,000, after which the Company will evidence
compliance with the Rule. Going forward, the Company projects that net income will be accretive to
stockholders equity. Such projections are based on realized cost savings from outsourcing its
distribution services, and the expectation that it will incur substantially less legal fees and
expenses, due to the settlement of certain litigation. The Company also stated that it does not
expect any to record any significant asset impairments in the future. Moreover, the Company may
realize significant deferred tax assets as it returns to profitability.
Staff believes that the Company provided a definitive plan evidencing its ability to achieve
and sustain compliance with the Rule, and as such, has determined to grant an extension of time.
The terms of the extension are as follows: on or before January 12, 2007, the Company must complete
the above referenced sale of its office building and distribution facility and opt for one of the
two following alternatives to evidence compliance with the Rule prior to its next periodic filing:
|
|
|
1 |
|
The Company will lease back the office building and has outsourced certain distribution
operations. |

Alternative 1: The Company must furnish to the SEC and Nasdaq a publicly
available report (e.g., a Form 8-K or Form 6-K) including:
|
1. |
|
A disclosure of Staffs deficiency letter and the specific
deficiency(ies) cited; |
|
2. |
|
A description of the completed transaction or event that enabled the
Company to satisfy the stockholders equity requirement for continued listing; |
|
3. |
|
An affirmative statement that, as of the date of the report,
the Company believes it has regained compliance with the stockholders equity
requirement based upon the specific transaction or event referenced in Step
2; and |
|
4. |
|
A disclosure stating that Nasdaq will continue to monitor the
Companys ongoing compliance with the stockholders equity requirement and, if
at the time of its next periodic report the Company does not evidence
compliance, that it may be subject to delisting. |
Alternative 2: The Company must furnish to the SEC and Nasdaq a publicly
available report including:
|
1. |
|
Steps 1 & 2 set forth above; |
|
2. |
|
A balance sheet no older than 60 days with pro forma adjustments for
any significant transactions or event occurring on or before the report date.
The pro forma balance sheet must evidence compliance with the stockholders
equity requirement; and |
|
3. |
|
A disclosure that the Company believes it also
satisfies the stockholders equity requirement as of the report date and that
Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Companys ongoing compliance with the
stockholders equity requirement and, if at the time of its next periodic
report the Company does not evidence compliance, that it may be subject to
delisting. |
Regardless of which alternative the Company chooses, if the Company fails to evidence
compliance upon filing its periodic report for the December 24, 2006 with the SEC and Nasdaq the
Company may be subject to delisting. In the event the Company does not satisfy the terms, Staff
will provide written notification that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company
may appeal Staffs determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel.
If you have any questions, please contact Wayne Bush, Lead Analyst, at (301) 978-8034.
Sincerely,
Stanley Higgins
Associate Director
