                              PIZZA INN, INC.
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 (Unaudited)


(1)      The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Pizza
Inn,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  have been prepared without audit pursuant to the
rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally  included  in  the financial
statements  have  been  condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to  such  rules  and
regulations.    The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read
in  conjunction with the notes to the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements  in  its  Form  10-K  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  June 30, 1996.

         In  the opinion of management, the accompanying  unaudited  condensed
consolidated  financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly
present  the  Company's  financial  position and results of operations for the
interim  periods.   All adjustments contained herein are of a normal recurring
nature.

(2)      For the three months ended September 29, 1996 and September 24, 1995,
common stock equivalents were 798,795 and 705,701, respectively, and the total
weighted average number of shares considered to be outstanding were 13,721,024
and  14,149,231,  respectively.

(3)      In July 1996, in order to reduce future  administrative costs related
to  small  shareholder  accounts,  the Company implemented an odd lot buy-back
program to purchase its own common stock for $5.25 per share from shareholders
who  own  less  than  100 shares.  During the three months ended September 29,
1996,  the  Company  purchased  8,149  shares  under  this  program.


ITEM  2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

Quarter  ended  September 29, 1996 compared to the quarter ended September 24,
1995.

     Net income for the current quarter increased 26% to $996,000 or $0.07 per
share,  from  $793,000  or  $0.06  per  share for the same quarter last year. 
Revenues  rose  10%  to  $17.7  million  from  $16.2  million  last  year.

     Food  and supply sales from the Company's distribution division increased
14%  in the current year.  The increase is due to growth in chainwide domestic
retail  sales,  as  well as increased market share on sales of non-proprietary
food  and equipment to both international and domestic franchisees.  Increases
in  the  market  price  of  certain  commodities also contributed to the sales
increase.

     Franchise revenue, which includes income from royalties, license fees and
area  development  ("A.D.")  sales,  decreased  10% compared to the prior year
quarter.  This was primarily due to lower income recognized from A.D. sales in
the  current year.  The timing and amount of proceeds from A.D. sales may vary
significantly  from  year  to  year.    Current  year  sales  include  partial
recognition  of  proceeds  from the sale of area development rights for Korea.

     Restaurant  sales,  which  are  comprised  of sales from Company operated
units, decreased 6% compared to the same quarter last year.  This is primarily
the  result of the closing during fiscal 1996 of one of the units that was not
required  for  training  or  other  purposes.

     Other  income  consists  primarily  of interest and non-recurring revenue
items.   The current year includes less interest on long-term notes receivable
because  of  lower  balances  in  asset  purchase  notes.

     Cost  of sales increased 10% for the quarter as a result of the growth in
food  and  supply sales to the Company's franchisees.  As a percentage of food
and  supply  sales,  the  cost  of sales is slightly lower  during the current
quarter, as a result of cost efficiencies achieved through fleet modernization
and  routing  efficiencies,  increased  labor productivity and improved buying
power  through volume purchasing.  Variations in the seasonal cost patterns of
key  commodities  from  year to year have also impacted the comparable cost of
sales  percentages.

     Franchise  expenses  increased 6% compared to the same quarter last year,
reflecting  increases  in  expenditures  for sales, training and field service
personnel.

     General  and  administrative  expenses  increased less than 1% during the
quarter,  as  the Company continues to hold down costs not directly related to
the  franchise  and  distribution  areas  of  the  business.

     Interest  expense  decreased  28%  in  the current quarter as a result of
lower  average  debt  balances  and  lower  interest  rates.

                       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash  provided  by  operations  totaled $451,000 for the first quarter of
fiscal  1997,  and  consisted  primarily of net income plus the benefit of the
Company's  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  which significantly reduce the
amount  of  federal  income  tax  actually  paid.    The Company utilized cash
primarily  to  pay  down  debt,  making a $500,000 scheduled principal payment
during  the  quarter.

     In  September  1996,  the  Company  signed  an  agreement for the sale of
exclusive operating and franchising rights in Korea, for a total cash price of
$800,000 ($687,000 net of certain expenses).  This agreement, along with other
area  development  agreements  signed  during  the  last  four  years, contain
development commitments for significant unit growth over the next five years. 
Related  growth  in  royalties  and distribution sales are expected to provide
adequate  working  capital.  The occurrence of any additional area development
sales,  which  cannot  be  predicted  with  any  certainty,  may  also provide
significant  infusions  of cash.  External sources of cash are not expected to
be  required  in  the  foreseeable  future.

     The Company continues to realize substantial benefit from the utilization
of  its  net  operating loss carryforwards to reduce its federal tax liability
from the 34% tax reflected on its statement of operations to an actual payment
of  approximately  2%  of  taxable  income.    Management believes that future
operations will generate sufficient taxable income, along with the reversal of
temporary  differences,  to  fully  realize its net deferred tax asset balance
($10.2  million  as of September 29, 1996).  Taxable income in future years at
the  same level as fiscal 1996 would be sufficient for full realization of the
net  tax  asset.   Management believes that, based on recent growth trends and
future projections, maintaining current levels of taxable income is achievable
and  that  the  Company  will  be  able  to realize its net deferred tax asset
without  reliance  on  material,  non-routine  income.

     Historically,  the  differences  between  pre-tax  earnings for financial
reporting  purposes  and  taxable  income  for  tax purposes have consisted of
temporary  differences arising from the timing of depreciation, deductions for
accrued  expenses and deferred revenues, as well as permanent differences as a
result  of goodwill amortization deducted for financial reporting purposes but
not  for  income  tax  purposes.

     The following summarizes, as of September 29, 1996, the annual amounts of
net  operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes that expire by year:

        Carryforwards
