14,199,864  and  14,129,490,  respectively.





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

Quarter and six months ended December 29, 1996 compared to the quarter and six
months  ended  December  24,  1995.

     Net  income for the second quarter of the current fiscal year rose 20% to
$1,165,000  or  $.08  per share compared to $975,000 or $.07 per share for the
same  quarter  last  year.    For  the six months ended December 29, 1996, net
income  increased  22%  to  $2,161,000  or $0.16 per share, from $1,768,000 or
$0.13  per  share  for  the  same  period  last  year.

     Food  and supply sales from the Company's distribution division increased
7%  for  the  quarter  and  10% for the six month period, compared to the same
periods last 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 5% for the quarter and 8% for the
six  month  period.  This was primarily due to lower income 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 and
the  Philippines.

     Restaurant  sales,  which  are  comprised  of sales from Company operated
units,  decreased  14%  and  10%  for  the  quarter  and  six  month  periods,
respectively,  compared  to the same periods last year.  This is primarily the
result  of  the closing during fiscal 1996 of one of these units, leaving five
units  which  the  Company  uses  for  training  or  other  purposes.

     Cost  of sales increased 4% and 7% for the quarter and six month periods,
respectively,  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 both current year periods, as a result of cost
savings  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  for  the  quarter were maintained at essentially the
same  level  as  the comparable quarter last year.  Franchise expenses for the
six month period increased 3%, reflecting additional expenditures in the first
quarter  of  fiscal  1997  for sales, training and field service personnel, as
well  as  increases in expenses related to marketing the Company's franchising
opportunities.

     General  and  administrative expenses decreased 6% and 3% for the quarter
and  six months, respectively, as the Company continues to hold down costs not
directly  related  to  the  franchise  service  and  distribution areas of the
business.

     Interest  expense  decreased  23%  and  25%  for  the three and six month
periods,  respectively,  as  a result of lower average debt balances and lower
interest  rates.


                       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash provided by operations totaled $1.4 million for the first six months
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 $1 million in scheduled principal payments
during the first half of the year.  In addition, cash of $627,000  was used to
purchase shares of the Company's own common stock  during the first six months
of fiscal 1997.

     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  (which currently total $23.6 million
and expire in 2005) 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 ($9.6 million as of
December 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, main-
taining 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.


     "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of  Operations"  contains  certain  projections  and  other  forward-looking
statements  that are not historical facts and are subject to various risks and
uncertainties,  including but not limited to:  changes in demand for Pizza Inn
products and franchises; the impact of competitors' actions; changes in prices
or  supplies  of food ingredients; and restrictions on international trade and
business.
