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 and nine months ended March 30, 1997, common stock
equivalents were 878,567 and 853,984 respectively, and the total weighted
average number of shares considered to be outstanding were 13,755,431 and
13,770,208, respectively. For the three and nine months ended March 24, 1996,
common stock equivalents were 901,492 and 778,681, respectively, and the total
weighted average number of shares considered to be outstanding were 14,054,717
and 14,079,232, respectively.

(3) In February 1997, the FASB issued FAS No. 128, Earnings per Share
("FAS 128"), which is effective for financial statements issued for periods
ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods. Effective December
28, 1997, the Company will adopt FAS 128, which establishes standards for
computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS). The statement requires dual
presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for
entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the
numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation, to the numerator and
denominator of the diluted EPS calculation. Basic EPS excludes the effect of
potentially dilutive securities while diluted EPS reflects the potential
dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common
stock were exercised, converted into or resulted in the issuance of common
stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. The pro forma EPS
amounts shown below have been calculated assuming the Company had already
adopted the provisions of this statement.

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

Quarter and nine months ended March 30, 1997 compared to the quarter and nine
months ended March 24, 1996.

Net income for the third quarter of the current fiscal year rose 17% to
$1,076,000 or $.08 per share compared to $920,000 or $.07 per share for the
same quarter last year. For the nine months ended March 30, 1997, net income
increased 20% to $3,237,000 or $0.24 per share, from $2,688,000 or $0.19 per
share for the same period last year.

Food and supply sales from the Company's distribution division increased
2% for the quarter and 7% for the nine month period, compared to the same
periods last year. The increase was 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, primarily cheese, during the first
two quarters of the current year also contributed to the sales increase.

Franchise revenue, which includes income from royalties, license fees and
area development ("A.D.") sales, decreased 14% for the quarter and 10% for the
nine 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 vary
significantly from year to year. Current year sales include partial
recognition of proceeds from the sale of new area development rights for South
Korea, the Philippines and Palestine.

Restaurant sales, which consist of sales from Company operated training
units, decreased 1% and 7% for the quarter and nine month periods,
respectively, compared to the same periods last year. This was primarily the
result of the closing during the third quarter of fiscal 1996 of one of the
units that was not required due to the opening of a new corporate training
center and testing facility.

Cost of sales decreased 1% for the quarter and increased 4% for the nine
month period. During both periods, product purchases increased due to the
growth in food and supply sales to the Company's franchisees. These increases
were offset by cost savings achieved through fleet modernization and routing
efficiencies, increased labor productivity and improved buying power through
volume purchasing. During the quarter, these cost savings more than offset
cost increases related to the growth in food and supply sales. Cost of sales
as a percentage of food and supply sales was lower during both current year
periods, as a result of the cost savings mentioned here, as well as variations
in seasonal cost patterns of key commodities from year to year.

Franchise expenses increased 2% for both the quarter and nine month
periods. These small increases reflect additional expenditures 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 11% and 5% for the quarter
and nine months, respectively, as the Company continues to focus on holding
down costs not directly related to franchise service and product distribution
areas of the business.

Interest expense decreased 21% and 24% for the three and nine month
periods, respectively, as a result of lower average debt balances and lower
interest rates.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operations totaled $3.3 million for the first nine
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 $1.5 million in scheduled principal
payments during the first three fiscal quarters. Cash of $1,237,000 was also
used to purchase shares of the Company's own common stock during the first
nine months of fiscal 1997.

In September 1996, the Company signed an agreement for the sale of
exclusive operating and franchising rights in South Korea, for a total cash
price of $800,000 ($687,000 net of certain expenses). In March 1997, the
Company signed an agreement for the sale of exclusive operating and
franchising rights in Palestine, for a total cash price of $300,000. These
agreements, 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 product
distribution sales are expected to provide adequate working capital. The
occurrence of any additional area development sales, which cannot be predicted
with any certainty, would 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 $22 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 certain temporary
differences described below, to fully realize its net deferred tax asset
balance ($9.1 million as of March 30, 1997). 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.




"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.
