We prove the following results (1) If $R$ is a right and left $\pi$-regular semiring then $R$ is a $\pi$-regular semiring. (2) If $R$ is an additive cancellative semiprime, right Artinian or right $\pi$-regular right Noetherian semiring then $R$ is semisimple. (3) Let $I$ be a partitioning ideal of a semiring $R$ such that $Q=(R-I)\cup \{0\}$. If $I$ is a right regular ideal and the quotient semiring $R/I$ is right $\pi$-regular then $R$ is a right $\pi$-regular semiring. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 16Y60
