             NOTE TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
                         Piccadilly Cafeterias, Inc.
                             September 30, 1997


The  accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
do not  include  all  of  the  information  and  footnotes  required by
generally   accepted   accounting  principles  for  complete  financial
statements.  In the opinion  of management, all adjustments (consisting
of  normal  recurring  accruals)   considered   necessary  for  a  fair
presentation have been included.

Comparative results of operations by periods may  be  affected  by  the
timing of the opening of new units.  Quarterly results are additionally
affected  by seasonal fluctuations in customer volume.  Customer volume
at established  units  is  generally higher in the second quarter ended
December 31 and lower in the  third  quarter ending March 31 reflecting
the general seasonal retail activity.  A fluctuation in customer volume
has a disproportionate effect on operating profit.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
         and Results of Operations

1998 First Quarter Compared to 1997 First Quarter

Same-store cafeteria sales increased 3.8%  over  the prior year.  Same-
store customer traffic decreased 1.7%.  Same-store  sales  for  Ralph &
Kacoo's seafood restaurants decreased 1.7%.

Cost  of  sales  as a percentage of sales decreased 0.5% over the prior
year.  Food cost decreased  0.1%  and  labor  cost  decreased 0.4%.  On
September 1, 1997, the Company increased prices to offset  increases in
the federal minimum wage.

Other  operating  expense as a percentage of sales decreased 0.7%  over
the prior year.  Interest  expense  decreased  $103,000 reflecting both
lower  debt  levels  and  lower  cost of debt.  Other  income  improved
$80,000 over the prior year.  The  Company  lowered  its  effective tax
rate from 38.0% in fiscal year 1997 to 37.0% for fiscal year 1998.

Net cash  provided by operating activities increased $7,321,000.    Net
changes  in  operating  assets  and  liabilities  increased  cash  flow
$6,338,000  reflecting the impact of timing of payments in the ordinary
course of business.   Investing  activities  include  the  sale  of the
Company's   Orland  Park,  Illinois  cafeteria,  which  was  closed  in
November, 1996.

A  cafeteria in  Charleston,  South  Carolina  was  opened  during  the
current-year  first  quarter  replacing  a  mall  unit  whose lease had
expired.   Two  Piccadilly Express units located in Associated  Grocers
supermarkets were  opened  in  Natchez,  Mississippi  and  Vidor, Texas
during  the  quarter.  The  Company will open a cafeteria in Vicksburg,
Mississippi  during  the  second  quarter.   Expansion  plans  for  the
remainder of the fiscal year  include  four to five more cafeterias and
up to 16 Piccadilly Express units in existing cafeterias and Associated
Grocer supermarkets.

The Company's $4,500,000 private placement  debt will mature on January
31, 1998.  As of September 30, 1997, $22,350,000  was  available  under
two  line  of credit arrangements. These facilities, together with cash
flow from operations,  are  adequate  to  provide  for  maturing  debt,
capital expenditures and dividend requirements.
