Item 1.   Business


General

  ShowBiz Pizza Time, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated in the
State of Kansas in 1980 and is engaged in the family
restaurant/entertainment center business.  The Company considers
this to be its sole industry segment.

  The Company operated, as of March 14, 1997,  245 Chuck E.
Cheese's Pizza ("Chuck E. Cheese's") restaurants (including four
restaurants managed by the Company for others).  In addition, as of
March 14, 1997, franchisees of the Company operated 69 Chuck E.
Cheese's restaurants.  


Chuck E. Cheese's Restaurants

Business Development

  Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants offer a variety of pizza, a salad
bar, sandwiches and desserts and feature musical and comic
entertainment by life-size, computer-controlled robotic characters,
family oriented games, rides and arcade-style activities.  The
restaurants are intended to appeal to families with children
between the ages of 2 and 12.  The Company opened its first
restaurant in March 1980.

  The Company and its franchisees operate in a total of 44 states
and the Company has concentrated its ownership and operation of
Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants within a 32-state area.  See "Item 2.
Properties." 

  The following table sets forth certain information with respect
to the Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants owned by the Company (excludes
restaurants managed by the Company for others and franchised
restaurants):

                                        1996      1995      1994

  of period                             240         222         220  

Percent of total restaurant revenues:
  Food and beverage sales               70.1%      70.2%        71.0%
  Game sales                            26.6%      26.6%        25.8%
  Merchandise sales                      3.3%       3.2%         3.2%

- -----------

(1)  In computing these averages, only restaurants which were open 
    for a period greater than one year at the beginning of each   
   respective year were included (213, 190 and 159 restaurants in 
    1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively).  

  The revenues from Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants are seasonal in
nature.  The restaurants tend to generate more revenues during the
first and third fiscal quarters as compared to the second and
fourth fiscal quarters.

  Each Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant generally employs a general
manager, one or two managers, an electronic specialist who is
responsible for repair and maintenance of the robotic characters
and games, and 45 to 75 food preparation and service employees,
most of whom work only part-time.

Page 2


  To maintain a unique and exciting environment in the restaurants,
the Company believes it is essential to reinvest capital through
the evolution of its games, rides and entertainment packages and
continuing enhancement of the facilities. In 1994, the Company
initiated a "repositioning" program to evolve and expand its
efforts to significantly enhance its Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants. 
 Between March 1994 and December 1996, the Company completed 223
restaurants under this program which is approximately 91% of all
Company-operated restaurants.  The Company plans to reposition the
remaining restaurants by the end of the second quarter of 1997.

  The Company opened one new Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant in 1995. 
The Company anticipates opening approximately six to eight new
stores in 1997 and approximately 10 to 12 new stores in 1998.  The
Company periodically reevaluates the site characteristics of its
restaurants.  In the event certain site characteristics considered
essential for the success of a restaurant deteriorate, the Company
will consider relocating the restaurant to a more desirable site. 


  The Company believes its ownership of trademarks to the names and
character likenesses featured in the robotic animation stage show
(and other in-store entertainment) in its restaurants to be an
important competitive advantage.


Restaurant Design and Entertainment

  Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants are typically located in shopping
centers or in free-standing buildings near shopping centers and
generally occupy 8,000 to 14,000 square feet in area.    Chuck E.
Cheese's restaurants are typically divided into three areas: a
kitchen and related area (cashier and prize area, salad bar,
manager's office, technician's office, restrooms, etc.) occupies
approximately 35% of the space, a dining area occupies
approximately 25% of the space and an activity area occupies
approximately 40% of the space.
  
  The dining area of each Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant features a
variety of comic and musical entertainment by computer-controlled
robotic characters, together with video monitors and  animated
props, located on various stage type settings.  The dining area
typically provides table and chair seating for 250 to 375
customers.

  Each Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant typically contains a family
oriented playroom area offering approximately 40 coin- and token-operated 
attractions, including arcade-style games, kiddie rides,
video games, skill oriented games and other similar entertainment. 
Most games dispense tickets that can be redeemed by guests for
prize merchandise such as toys and dolls.  Also included in the
playroom area are tubes and tunnels suspended from or reaching to
the ceiling ("SkyTubes") or other free attractions for young
children, with booth and table seating for the entire family.  The
playroom area normally occupies approximately 60% of the
restaurant's public area and contributes significantly to its
revenues.  A limited number of free tokens are furnished with food
orders.  Additional tokens may be purchased. These tokens are used
to play the games in the playroom.


Food and Beverage Products

  Each Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant offers varieties of pizza, a
salad bar, sandwiches and desserts.  Soft drinks, coffee and tea
are also served, along with beer and wine where permitted by local
laws.  The Company believes that the quality of its food compares
favorably with that of its competitors.

  The majority of food, beverages and other supplies used in the
Company-operated restaurants is currently distributed under a
system-wide agreement with a major food distributor.  The Company
believes that this distribution system creates certain cost and
operational efficiencies for the Company.


Page 3


Marketing

  The primary customer base for the Company's restaurants consists
of families having children between 2 and 12 years old.  The
Company conducts advertising campaigns which target families with
young children and feature the family entertainment experiences
available at Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants, and is primarily aimed
at increasing the frequency of customer visits.  The primary
advertising medium continues to be television, due to its broad
access to family audiences and its ability to communicate the Chuck
E. Cheese's experience.  The television advertising campaigns are
supplemented by promotional offers in newspapers.


Franchising

  The Company began franchising its restaurants in October 1981 and
the first franchised  restaurant opened in June 1982.  At  March
14, 1997,  69 Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants were operated by a
total of 44 different franchisees, as compared to 93 of such
restaurants at March 15, 1996.  In September 1996, the Company
purchased all of the 19 Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants owned by its
largest franchisee.  The Company sold four franchises in 1996.  

  The Company opened a second franchise restaurant in Chile during
the fourth quarter of 1996.  Opportunities for further
international franchise development are being reviewed by the
Company.

  The Chuck E. Cheese's standard franchise agreements grant to the
franchisee the right to develop and operate a restaurant and use
the associated trademarks within the standards and guidelines
established by the Company.  The franchise agreement presently
offered by the Company has an initial term of 15 years and includes
a 10-year renewal option.  The standard agreement provides the Company 
with a right of first refusal should a franchisee decide to sell a
restaurant. The earliest expiration dates of outstanding Chuck E.
Cheese's franchises are in 1997.

  The franchise agreements governing existing franchised Chuck E.
Cheese's restaurants currently require each franchisee to pay: (i)
to the Company, in addition to an initial franchise fee of $50,000,
a continuing monthly royalty fee equal to 3.8% of gross sales; 
(ii) to the Advertising Fund [an independent fund established and
managed by an association of the Company and its franchisees to pay
costs of system-wide advertising (the "Association")] an amount
equal to 0.9% of gross sales; and (iii) to the Entertainment Fund
(an independent fund established and managed by such Association to
further develop and improve entertainment attractions) an amount
equal to 0.4% of gross sales.  In 1997, the Advertising Fund will
increase assessments from .9% of gross sales to 1.4% of gross
sales.  The Chuck E. Cheese's franchise agreements also require
franchisees to expend at least 3% of gross sales for local
advertising.  Under the Chuck E. Cheese's franchise agreements, the
Company is required, with respect to Company-operated restaurants,
to spend for local advertising and to contribute to the Advertising
Fund and the Entertainment Fund at the same rates as franchisees.


Competition

  The restaurant and entertainment industries are highly
competitive, with a number of major national and regional chains
operating in the restaurant or family entertainment business. 
Although tother restaurant chains presently utilize the combined
family restaurant / entertainment concept, these competitors
primarily operate on a regional, market-by-market basis. 

  The Company believes that it will continue to encounter
competition in the future.  Major national and regional chains,
some of which may have capital resources as great or greater than
the Company, are competitors of the Company. The Company believes
that the principal competitive factors affecting Chuck E. Cheese's
restaurants are the relative quality of food and service, quality
and variety of offered entertainment, and location and
attractiveness of the restaurants as compared to its competitors in
the restaurant or entertainment industries.

Monterey's Tex-Mex Cafe  Restaurants 

  The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary BHC Acquisition
Corporation ("BAC"), operated 27 Monterey's Tex-Mex Cafe
restaurants.  Effective May 5, 1994, the Company sold its
Monterey's Tex-Mex Cafe restaurants for an aggregate purchase price
consisting of approximately $6.7 million in cash, $4.7 million in
subordinated promissory notes and the retention of a 12 1/2% equity
interest in the acquiring company.


Trademarks

  The Company owns various trademarks, including "Chuck E. Cheese"
and "ShowBiz Pizza"  that are used in connection with the
restaurants and have been registered with the United States Patent
and Trademark Office.  The duration of such trademarks is
unlimited, subject to continued use.  The Company believes that it
holds the necessary rights for protection of the marks considered
essential to conduct its present restaurant operations.


Government Regulation

  The development and operation of Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants
are subject to various federal, state and local laws and
regulations, including but not limited to those that impose
restrictions, levy a fee or tax, or require a permit or license on
the service of alcoholic beverages and the operation of games and
rides.  The Company is subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, the
Americans With Disabilities Act,  and family leave mandates.  A
significant portion of the Company's restaurant personnel are paid
at rates related to the minimum wage established by federal and
state law.  Increases in such minimum wage result in higher labor
costs to the Company, which may be partially offset by price
increases and operational efficiencies.


Working Capital Practices

  The Company attempts to maintain only sufficient inventory of
supplies in the restaurants which it operates to satisfy current
operational needs.  The Company's accounts receivable consist
primarily of credit card receivables, franchise royalties,
management fees and advances to managed properties.


Employees

  The Company's employment varies seasonally, with the greatest
number being employed during the summer months.  On March 14, 1997,
the Company employed approximately 11,000 employees, including
10,800 in the operation of Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants and 185
employed by the Company in the Company's executive offices.  None
of the Company's employees is a member of any union or collective
bargaining group.  The Company considers its employee relations to
be good.

  Of the 241 Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants owned by the Company as
of March 14, 1997, 226 occupy leased premises and 15 occupy owned
premises.  The leases of these restaurants will expire at various
times from 1997 to 2009, as described in the table below.

     Year of                Number of          Range of Renewal

  The leases of Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants contain terms which
vary from lease to lease, although a typical lease provides for a
primary term of 10 years, with two additional five-year options to
renew, and provides for annual minimum rent payments of
approximately $6.00 to $22.00 per square foot, subject to periodic
adjustment.  Most of the restaurant leases require the Company to
pay the cost of repairs, insurance and real estate taxes and, in
many instances, provide for additional rent equal to the amount by
which a percentage (typically 6%) of gross revenues exceeds the
minimum rent.


Item 3.    Legal Proceedings.

  From time to time the Company is involved in litigation, most of
which is incidental to its business.  In the Company's opinion, no
litigation in which the Company currently is a party is likely to
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations, financial condition or cash flows.
  

Item  4.    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

  No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during
the fourth quarter of 1996.

set aside to be paid.  A dividend to holders of record of Preferred
Stock as of December 27, 1996 in the amount of $1.20 per share will
be paid on March 27, 1997.  

  The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock
and has no present intention of paying cash dividends thereon in
the future.  The Company plans to retain any earnings to finance
anticipated capital expenditures and reduce its long-term debt. 
Future dividend policy with respect to the Common Stock will be

Condition and Results Of Operations.

Results of Operations

1996 Compared to 1995
- ---------------------

 Revenues increased 11.5% to $294.0 million in 1996 from $263.8
million in 1995 primarily due to an increase of 9.8% in sales of
the Company's Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants which were open during
all of 1996 and 1995 ("comparable store sales").  In addition, the
Company purchased 19 restaurants from its largest franchisee in
September 1996.  

 Income before income taxes increased to $22.2 million in 1996
from $375,000 in 1995. A material portion of operating costs are
fixed resulting in an improvement of operating margins at higher
sales levels.  Net income increased to $13.2 million in 1996 from
$63,000 in 1995.  The Company's primary and fully diluted earnings
per share increased to $.70 per share in 1996 compared to a loss of
$.02 per share in 1995.

 A summary of the results of operations of the Company as a
percentage of revenues for the last three fiscal years is shown
below.

</TABLE>


 Revenues
 --------

 Revenues increased to $294.0 million in 1996 from $263.8 million
in 1995.  Comparable store sales of Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants
increased by 9.8% in 1996.  In addition, the Company purchased 19
restaurants from its largest franchisee in September 1996.  Average
annual sales per restaurant increased to approximately $1,286,000 
in 1996 from approximately $1,178,000 in 1995.   Management
believes that several factors contributed to the comparable store
sales increase with the primary factor being sales increases at
repositioned stores.  Menu prices increased 3.2% between the two
years. 

 Revenues from franchise fees and royalties were $3.7 million in
1996, an increase of 6.1% from 1995, primarily due to an increase
in franchise fee income in 1996 and an increase of 3.6% in
comparable franchise store sales for 1996.  The increase in
comparable franchise store sales was partially offset by a decline
in the number of franchise restaurants operated each year.  During
1996, four new franchise restaurants opened, eight franchise
restaurants closed and 19 franchise restaurants were purchased by
the Company.

 Costs and Expenses
 ------------------

 Costs and expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 92.4%
in 1996 from 99.9% in 1995.  

 Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues decreased to 48.7% in
1996 from 51.8% in 1995.  Cost of food, beverage, prize and
merchandise items for Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants as a percentage
of restaurant sales decreased to 17.4% in 1996 from 17.9% in 1995
primarily due to a 3.2% increase in menu prices.  Labor expenses
for Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants as a percentage of restaurant
sales declined to 28.7% in 1996 from 30.9% in 1995 primarily due to
an increase in comparable store sales and more effective
utilization of hourly employees.


Page 10

 Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues decreased to 14.8% in 1996 from 17.0% in 1995 primarily
due to comparable store sales increases and a reduction of
advertising costs between the two periods. 

 Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 8.5% in 1996 from 8.8%  in 1995 primarily due to the
full amortization of certain deferred charges.  

 Interest expense increased to $3.5 million in 1996 from $3.1
million in 1995 primarily due to an increase in the Company's
average outstanding debt between the two periods.  Debt increased
as a result of capital expenditures in connection with the
repositioning of 126 and 87 restaurants in 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

 The Company had a net loss on property transactions of $263,000
in 1996 and $136,000 in 1995 due to the replacement of assets
arising from the enhancement of facilities and entertainment
packages of restaurants.  The loss in 1995 was net of a gain of
$100,000 from the sale of certain assets which had been held for
resale.

 Other operating expenses decreased as a percentage of revenues
to 19.1% in 1996 from 21.0% in 1995 primarily due to a decrease in
insurance costs, the increase in comparable store sales and the
fact that a significant portion of operating costs are fixed.  


 Net Income
 ----------

 The Company had net income of $13.2 million in 1996 compared to
$63,000 in 1995 due to the changes in revenues and expenses
discussed above.  The Company's primary and fully diluted earnings
per share increased to $.70 per share in 1996 compared to a loss of
$.02 per share in 1995.


 1995 Compared to 1994
 ---------------------

 Revenues declined 1.8% to $263.8 million in 1995 from $268.5
million in 1994 due to the sale of the  Company's Monterey's Tex-Mex 
Cafe restaurants effective May 5, 1994.  Revenue generated by
the Company's Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants increased to $263.3
million in 1995 from $262.0 million in 1994 due to the net addition
of 11 Company restaurants in 1994 and two Company restaurants in
1995.  Comparable store sales from the Company's Chuck E. Cheese's
restaurants declined by 1.4% from 1994 to 1995.  Revenues from the
Company's Monterey's Tex-Mex Cafe restaurants were $6.5 million in
1994.  

 Income before income taxes decreased to $375,000 in 1995 from
$3.1 million in 1994.  Included in income before taxes in 1994 was
a gain of $5.5 million related to the sale of the Company's
Monterey's Tex-Mex Cafe restaurants and a $2.3 million loss
associated with the impairment in fair value of certain Chuck E.
Cheese's restaurants.  Income before income taxes in 1994 was also
reduced by approximately $900,000 due to a write-off of all
unamortized preopening expenses resulting from a change in the
estimated future benefit of such expenses.  A material portion of
operating costs are fixed resulting in an erosion of operating
margins at lower sales levels.  Net income declined to $63,000 in
1995 from $676,000 in 1994.


 Revenues
 --------

 Revenues decreased to $263.8 million in 1995 from $268.5 million
in 1994 due to the sale of the Company's Monterey's Tex-Mex Cafe
restaurants effective May 4, 1994.  Comparable store sales of Chuck
E. Cheese's restaurants declined by 1.4% from 1994 to 1995. 
Average annual sales per restaurant decreased to approximately
$1,178,000  in 1995 from approximately $1,206,000 in 1994.  Menu
prices were comparable between the two years. The increasing number
of completed repositioned restaurants resulted in a 2.3% increase
in comparable store sales in the fourth quarter of 1995 compared to
the same period of the prior year.  This was the first quarter
since 1992 that comparable store sales had increased from the prior
year.



Page 11

 Revenues from franchise fees and royalties were $3.5 million in
1995, a decrease of 15.1% from 1994,  primarily due to a 6.2%
decline in comparable franchise store sales for  1995  and a
decline in the number of franchise restaurants operated each year. 
During 1995, one new franchise restaurant opened and 14 franchise
restaurants closed.

 Costs and Expenses
 ------------------

 Costs and expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 99.9%
in 1995 from 98.8% in 1994.  

 Cost of sales as a percentage of revenues increased to 51.8% in
1995 from 51.3% in 1994.  Cost of food, beverage, prize and
merchandise items for Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants as a percentage
of restaurant sales decreased to 17.9% in 1995 from 18.2% in 1994
primarily due to an increase in game sales as a percentage of total
restaurant sales.  Labor expenses for Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants
as a percentage of restaurant sales increased to 30.9% in 1995 from
30.0% in 1994 primarily due to increased labor rates, reduced
management turnover and the decline in comparable store sales.

 Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues decreased to 17.0% in 1995 from 17.6% in 1994 primarily
due to a reduction in corporate overhead expenses. 

 Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 8.8% in 1995 from 9.7%  in 1994.  Preopening expense
declined due to the write-off of all unamortized preopening expense
in the fourth quarter of 1994 resulting from a change in the
estimated useful future benefit of such expenses.  Depreciation and
amortization expense decreased by $2.8 million in 1995 primarily
due to a change effected in the first quarter of 1995 in the
estimated useful lives  of certain fixed assets based on a review
of historical asset utilization that resulted in approximately $2.3
million of such decrease and the sale of Monterey's Tex-Mex Cafe
restaurants in May 1994. 

 Interest expense increased to $3.1 million in 1995 from $1.9
million in 1994 primarily due to an increase in interest rates and
the Company's average outstanding debt between the periods.

 The Company had a net loss on property transactions of $136,000
in 1995 compared to a net gain on property transactions of $2.6
million in 1994.  In 1994, the Company recognized a gain of $5.5
million from the sale of substantially all of the assets of its
Monterey's Tex-Mex Cafe restaurants on May 5, 1994.  The gain was
partially offset by a loss of approximately $2.3 million in 1994. 
The loss was a result of the Company's decision to close one Chuck
E. Cheese's restaurant and the impairment in fair value of the
fixed assets of 10 Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants due to the
Company's decision not to renew the leases as a result of the
deterioration of site characteristics or the inability to renew the
leases at acceptable rental terms.  The Company will consider
possible relocation of some of the restaurants.

 Other operating expenses as a percentage of revenues increased
to 21.0% in 1995 from 20.5% in 1994 primarily due to increased rent
expense and the decline in comparable store sales.  

 Net Income
 ----------

 In 1994, the Company established an allowance of approximately
$1.1 million related to deferred tax credit carryforwards which are
estimated to expire in 1997. Income tax expense was increased by
approximately $1.1 million as a result of this allowance.  The
Company's net income decreased to $63,000 in 1995 from $676,000 in
1994 due to the changes in revenues and expenses as discussed
above.   The Company's primary and fully diluted earnings per share
decreased to a loss of $.02 per share in 1995 from earnings of $.02
per share in 1994.



Inflation

 The Company's costs of operations, including but not limited to,
labor, supplies, utilities, financing and rental costs, are
significantly affected by inflationary factors.  The Company pays
most of its part-time employees rates that are related to federal
and state mandated minimum wage requirements.  Management
anticipates that recent increases in federally mandated minimum
wage will result in increased labor costs for the Company.  Any
other increases in such costs would result in higher costs to the
Company, which the Company expects would be partially offset by
menu price increases and increased efficiencies in operations.

Financial  Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources


 Cash provided by operations increased to $48.4 million in 1996
from $27.8 million in 1995.  Cash outflow from investing activities
for 1996 was $51.9 million.  Cash inflow from financing activities
in 1996 was $1.3 million.  The Company's primary requirements for
cash relate to planned capital expenditures and debt service.  The
Company expects that it will satisfy such requirements from cash
provided by operations and funds available under its line of
credit.

 The Company repositioned 126, 87 and 10 restaurants in 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively.  Company expenditures relating to the
remodeling program averaged approximately $330,000 per restaurant
during 1996 representing total expenditures of approximately $41.6
million.  The Company anticipates remodeling the remaining 21
restaurants in the first half of 1997 at an average cost of
approximately $350,000 per restaurant for a total of approximately
$7.4 million.  However, this amount can vary significantly at a
particular restaurant depending on several factors, including the
restaurant's square footage, the date of the most recent remodel
and the existing assets at the restaurant.  Expenditures relating
to the repositioning program have been financed primarily by cash
flow from operations and borrowings under the Company's line of
credit.

 The Company plans to open approximately six to eight new stores
in 1997 and 10 to 12 new stores in 1998.  The Company currently
anticipates the cost of opening such new stores to average
approximately $1.3 million per store.  In addition to such new
store openings, the Company plans to expand 10 to 15 existing
stores in 1997 by an average of 1,000 to 4,000 square feet per
store.  The Company also anticipates adding new game packages to as
many as 100 stores in 1997 at an average cost of approximately
$150,000 per store.  The Company currently estimates that capital
expenditures in 1997, including expenditures for the remodeling of
existing stores, new store openings, existing store expansions and
equipment investments, will be approximately $40 to $50 million. 
The Company plans to finance these expenditures through cash flow
from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under the Company's
line of credit.

 In August 1996, the Company increased its line of credit to $15.0
million from $5.0 million and extended the maturity date from June
1997 to June 1998.  Currently, any borrowings under this line of
credit would be at prime or at the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") plus 2%.  As of December 27, 1996, $7.4 million was
outstanding under the line of credit.

 The Company believes it will realize substantial benefit in the
future from utilization of approximately $47 million in net
operating loss carryforwards to reduce its future federal income
tax liability.  Such net operating loss carryforwards expire from
years 1999 through 2001.  Although the use of such carryforwards
could, under certain circumstances, be limited, the Company is
presently unaware of the occurrence of any event which would result
in the imposition of such limitation.  The Company has adopted an
amendment to its Restated Articles of Incorporation which is
intended to prevent changes in ownership of its common stock that
would cause such limitation.  In addition, the Company has
investment tax credit, job tax credit and alternative minimum tax
credit carryforwards of approximately $7 million.  The investment
tax credit and the job tax credit carryforwards expire in years
1997 through 2010.  Tax credit carryforwards can be utilized by the
Company only after all net operating loss carryforwards have been
realized.  If the improvement in the Company's results of
operations do not continue, a portion of the net operating loss and
tax credit carryforwards could expire prior to utilization,
resulting in a charge against income.  Taxable income for the five
years ending December 27, 1996 was $66 million.  Based on current
results of the repositioned restaurants, the Company currently
projects future taxable income levels sufficient to realize its net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards prior to their
expiration after considering an allowance of $1.1 million for the
estimated expiration of tax credit carryforwards in 1997.  However,

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors and Shareholders
ShowBiz Pizza Time, Inc.
Irving, Texas


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
ShowBiz Pizza Time, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 27, 1996 and
December 29, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of
earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 27, 1996.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.  

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ShowBiz
Pizza Time, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 27,1996 and December
29, 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 27,1996,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company changed its method of accounting for pre-opening costs
in 1994.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 27, 1996,
             DECEMBER 29, 1995 AND DECEMBER 30, 1994


1.  Summary  of  significant  accounting  policies:

  Operations:

    ShowBiz Pizza Time, Inc. (the "Company") operates and
  franchises family restaurant entertainment centers as Chuck E.
  Cheese's restaurants, and through BHC Acquisition Corporation
  ("BAC"), its wholly owned subsidiary, also operated Monterey's
  Tex-Mex Cafe restaurants.  The  Monterey's Tex-Mex Cafe
  restaurants were sold effective May 5, 1994.

  Fiscal year:

    The Company's fiscal year is 52 or 53 weeks and ends on the
  Friday nearest December 31.  References to 1996, 1995 and 1994
  are for the fiscal years ended December 27, 1996, December 29,
  1995 and December 30, 1994, respectively.  Fiscal years 1996,
  1995 and 1994 were each 52 weeks in length.

  Basis of consolidation:

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
  the Company and BAC.  All significant intercompany accounts and
  transactions have been eliminated.

  Cash and cash equivalents:

    Cash and cash equivalents of the Company are composed of
  demand deposits with banks and short-term cash investments with
  remaining maturities of three months or less from the date of
  purchase by the Company.

  Inventories:

    Inventories of food, paper products and supplies are stated at
  the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis.

  Property and equipment, depreciation and amortization:

    Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation and
  amortization are provided by charges to operations over the
  estimated useful lives of the assets, or the lease term if less,
  by the straight-line method.  During the first quarter of 1995,
  the Company changed its estimate of the useful lives of certain
  fixed assets.  As a result of this change, income before income
  taxes increased approximately $2.3 million, net income increased
  approximately $1.4 million and earnings per share increased
  approximately $.12 in 1995.

    Deferred charges and related amortization:

    In the fourth quarter of 1994, the Company revised its
  estimate of the future benefit for preopening expenses.  As a
  result, the Company expensed all unamortized preopening expenses
  of approximately $900,000.  The Company now expenses all
  preopening expenses as incurred. Previously, preopening expenses
  were amortized over a two year period.  Other deferred charges
  are amortized over various periods of up to five years.  All
  amortization is provided by the straight-line method, which
  approximates the interest method.

     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 
                  YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 27, 1996,
             DECEMBER 29, 1995 AND DECEMBER 30, 1994



1.  Summary  of  significant  accounting  policies (continued):

  Franchise fees and royalties:

    The Company recognizes initial franchise fees upon fulfillment
  of all significant obligations to the franchisee.  Royalties
  from franchisees are accrued as earned.

  Impairment of intangibles and long-lived assets:

    Impairment losses are recognized if the future cash flows
  expected to be generated by intangibles and long-lived assets
  are less than the carrying value of the assets.  The impairment
  loss is equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the
  assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

  Use of estimates and assumptions:

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
  generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
  make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
  of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
  and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
  reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
  period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
  
  Accounting for stock-based compensation:

    The Company has elected to not apply the accounting provisions
  of the Statement of Financial accounting Standards No. 123
  "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" issued by the
  Financial Accounting Standards Board ("SFAS 123") .  In 1996,
  the Company implemented the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123
  (Note 19).

  Earnings per share:

    The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement
  of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per share"
  effective for years ending after December 15, 1997.  The Company 
  does not believe that adoption will have a material impact on earnings
  per share.


2.  Significant transactions:

    In September 1996, the Company purchased from its largest
  franchisee 19 restaurants  plus the 49% minority interest of one
  restaurant previously operated as a joint venture by the Company
  and seller.  In addition to the cash purchase price of $2.6
  million, the Company reimbursed the seller for remodeling costs
  for three restaurants which had been recently remodeled.  The
  Company assumed no liabilities under the asset purchase. 
  Results of operations for the assets purchased are included in
  the Company's results from the date of this acquistion.

    Effective May 5, 1994, the Company sold its Monterey's Tex-Mex
  Cafe restaurants for an aggregate purchase price consisting of
  approximately $6.7 million in cash, $4.7 million in subordinated
  promissory notes and the retention of a 12 1/2% equity interest in
  the acquiring company.  Due to the Company's substantial equity
  interest, the acquiring company is a related party subsequent to
  the transaction.  Revenues from the Company's Monterey's Tex-Mex
  Cafe restaurants were $6.5 million in 1994.  Income before
  income taxes was $6.3 million in 1994 including a gain of $5.5
  million from the sale.

    The Company provided for a loss of approximately $2.3 million
  in 1994 as a result of the Company's decision to close one Chuck
  E. Cheese's restaurant and the impairment in fair value of the
  fixed assets of 10 Chuck E. Cheese's restaurants.  The
  impairment in fair value of the 10 restaurants was due to the
  Company's decision not to renew the leases as a result of the
  deterioration of site characteristics or the inability to renew
  the leases at acceptable rental terms.

</TABLE>

4.  Notes receivable:

     The Company's notes receivable at December 27, 1996 and
    December 29, 1995 arose principally as a result of the sale of
    restaurants, lines of credit established with the International
    Association of ShowBiz Pizza Time Restaurants, Inc., a related
    party (Note 18), and advances to franchisees, joint ventures and
    managed properties.  All obligors under the notes receivable are
    principally engaged in the restaurant industry.  The notes have
    various terms, but most are payable in monthly installments of
    principal and interest through 2001, with interest rates ranging
    from 7.5% to 12.0%.  The notes are generally collateralized by
    the related property and equipment.  Balances of notes
    receivable are net of an allowance for doubtful collection of
    $174,000 and $354,000 at December 27, 1996 and December 29,
    1995, respectively.

7.   Leases:

       The Company leases certain restaurants and related property
     and equipment under operating and capital leases.  All leases

     In August 1996, the Company's line of credit agreement was
    amended to provide the Company with available borrowings of up
    to $15 million expiring in June 1998.  In September 1996, the
    Company prepaid $5 million in term notes.  The Company's credit
    facility totals $43 million, which consists of $28 million in
    term notes and the $15 million line of credit.  Interest under
    the line of credit is dependent on earnings and debt levels of
    the Company.  Currently, any borrowings under this line of
    credit would be at prime (8.25% at December 27, 1996) plus 0%
    or, at LIBOR (5.5% at December 27, 1996) plus 2%.  At December 27,
    1996, $7.4 million was outstanding under the line of credit.  A
    3/8% commitment fee is payable on any unused credit line.  The
    Company is required to comply with certain financial ratio tests
    during the terms of the loan agreements.

       As of December 27, 1996, scheduled annual maturities of all
     long-term debt (exclusive of obligations under capital leases)
     are as follows (thousands):

9.   Commitments and contingencies:

       The Company has guaranteed certain obligations related to
     restaurant building and equipment leases.  The underlying assets
     are collateral for the leases and the makers or assignees of all
     of the obligations are required to perform thereunder before the
     Company is required to fulfill its guarantee.  In the event of
     default by the maker or assignee, the Company, in almost all
     cases, may make payment under the guarantees in accordance with
     the original payment schedule and has the right to locate
     potential buyers or subtenants for the assets.  As of December
     27, 1996, such guarantees aggregated approximately $142,000.


10.  Litigation:

       From time to time the Company is involved in litigation, most
     of which is incidental to its business.  In the Company's
     opinion, no litigation to which the Company currently is a party
     is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
     results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.


11.  Redeemable preferred stock:

       As of December 27, 1996, the Company had 49,570 shares of its
     redeemable preferred stock authorized and outstanding.  The
     stock pays dividends at $4.80 per year, subject to a minimum
     cash flow test.  As of December 27, 1996, one quarterly
     dividend, totaling $59,484 or $1.20 per share, was accrued but
     not yet paid. The redeemable preferred stock has been recorded
     at the net present value and is being accreted on the straight-line 
     basis.  The Company's restated articles of incorporation
     provide for the  redemption of such shares at $60 per share in
     2005.  During the continuation of any event of default by the
     Company, the preferred shareholders shall be able to elect a
     majority of the directors of the Company.

12.  Earnings per common share:

       Earnings per common and common equivalent share were computed
     based on the weighted average number of common and dilutive
     common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Net
     income available per common share has been adjusted for the
     items indicated.

      Earnings per common and common equivalent share (adjusted for
     a three-for-two stock split effected May 22, 1996) were computed
     as follows (thousands, except per share data):

       At December 27, 1996, the Company has recorded a deferred tax
     asset of approximately $26.0 million reflecting the $17.5
     million tax effect of $47.0 million in net operating loss
     carryforwards, $7.7 million in tax credit carryforwards and tax
     effected net taxable deductions of $800,000.  Realization of the
     deferred tax asset is dependent on generating sufficient taxable
     income prior to expiration of these carryforwards. Tax credit
     carryforwards can be utilized only after all net operating loss
     carryforwards have been realized. In 1994, the Company recorded
     a valuation allowance of $1.1 million for tax credit
     carryforwards which are estimated to expire in 1997.  Although
     realization is not assured, the Company believes it is more
     likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. 
     The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could
     be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable
     income are reduced.

     As of December 27, 1996, the Company has investment tax credit
    and jobs tax credit carryforwards totaling $5,258,000 and
    $548,000, respectively, and alternative minimum tax credits of
    $1,928,000.

15.    Income taxes (continued):


       Current tax laws and regulations relating to substantial
       changes in control may limit the utilization of net operating
       loss and tax credit carryforwards in any one year.  As of
       December 27, 1996, no limitation of such carryforwards has
       occurred.

16. Fair value of financial instruments:

     The Company has certain financial instruments consisting
    primarily of cash, cash equivalents, notes receivable, notes
    payable and redeemable preferred stock.  The carrying amount of
    cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the
    short maturity of those instruments.  The carrying amount of the
    Company's notes receivable and long-term debt approximates  fair
    value based on the interest rates charged on instruments with
    similar terms and risks. The estimated fair value of the
    Company's redeemable preferred stock is $3.0 million.

18. Related party transactions:

     The Hallwood Group, Incorporated ("Hallwood") is the
    beneficial owner of approximately 2.6 million shares or 14.2% of
    the outstanding common stock of the Company.  The directors of
    Hallwood serve as a majority of the directors of the Company. 
    In February 1997, the Company announced a public offering of 3.2
    million shares of common stock to be sold by Hallwood and
    certain of its affiliates.  The selling stockholders have also
    granted underwriters an option to purchase an additional 454,746
    shares of common stock to cover over allotments, if any.  All of
    the 2.6 million shares owned by Hallwood is offered for sale in
    the public offering and overallotment option.  It is anticipated
    that after the closing of the public offering, the directors of
    Hallwood will resign as directors of the Company.  The Company
    will not receive any proceeds from the proposed sale of shares
    by the selling stockholders.

     The Company made annual payments to Hallwood of $125,000 for
    consulting services in 1996, 1995 and 1994. The consulting
    agreement will be terminated upon the closing of the publlic
    offering. In consideration for rent reductions resulting from
    Hallwood's negotiation of the Company's home office lease
    agreement in December 1990, the Company assigned to Hallwood its
    sublease interest in the home office building with a fair value
    of approximately $120,000 per year.

     The Company has advanced amounts to joint ventures in which
    the Company has a 50% interest or less.  At December 27, 1996,
    approximately $757,000 was outstanding under these notes.
    Principal and interest are payable in monthly installments, with
    interest at various rates from prime to 12%.  The Company also
    has miscellaneous accounts receivable from joint ventures of
    approximately $669,000 and $410,000 at December 27, 1996 and
    December 29, 1995, respectively.

     The Company has granted three separate operating lines of
    credit to the International Association of ShowBiz Pizza Time
    Restaurants, Inc. (the "Association").  In December 1996, the
    lines were renewed to provide the Association with available
    borrowings of $2.5 million at 10.5% interest and are due
    December 31, 1997.  The Association develops entertainment
    attractions and produces system wide advertising.  Two officers
    of the Association are also officers of the Company.  At
    December 27, 1996, approximately $1,787,000 was outstanding
    under these lines of credit.  The Company also had miscellaneous
    accounts receivable from the Association of $6,000 and $5,000 at
    December 27, 1996 and December 29, 1995, respectively.


19. Employee benefit plans:

     The Company has employee benefit plans that include: a)
    executive bonus compensation plans based on the performance of
    the Company; b) non-statutory stock option plans for its
    employees and non-employee directors; c) a stock grant plan and
    d) a retirement and savings plan.

     In 1995, the Company increased the number of shares of the
    Company's common stock which may be issued under its employee
    stock option plan by 750,000 shares to an aggregate of 2,772,038
    shares.  All shares must be granted before December 31, 1998.

    less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock at
    date of grant.  Options may not be exercised until the employee
    has been continuously employed at least one year after the date
    of grant. Options which expire or terminate may be re-granted
    under the plan.

        All stock options are granted at fair market value of the
     common stock at the grant date.  The estimated fair value of
     options granted during 1996 was $3.08 per share.  The fair value
     of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant
     using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
     weighted average assumptions used for grants in 1996: risk free
     interest rate of 6.5%; no dividend yield; expected lives of four
     years; and expected volatility of 40%.  Stock options expire
     five years from the grant date.  Stock options vest over various
     periods ranging from one to four years.  The number of
     stock option shares exercisable at December 27, 1996 was
     430,794.  These stock options have exercise prices ranging from
     $5.29 to $22.33 per share and have a weighed average exercise
     price of $10.56 per share. In January 1997, the Company granted
     789,933 additional options at exercise prices of $17.25 to
     $17.65 per share.  


         The number of shares of the Company's common stock which may
     be awarded to senior executives of the Company under the Stock
     Grant Plan is 1,718,637 shares.  No grants were awarded in 1996,
     1995 or 1994.  In connection with an employment  agreement
     effective January 1998, the Company granted 105,000 shares in
     January 1997.  Compensation expense recognized by the Company
     pursuant to this plan was $1,821,000, $1,821,000 and $2,734,000 
     in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. All shares vest over periods
     ranging from 3 yeares to 6 years and are subject to
     forfeiture upon termination of the participant's employment by
     the Company.  The shares are nontransferable during the vesting
     periods.  

         As a result of shares awarded to the Company's Chairman of the
     Board and Chief Executive Officer, the Company recognized
     deferred compensation of $12.0 million in 1993.  In 1995, the
     Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
     forfeited 90,000 shares of unvested common stock of the Company
     previously awarded to him under the Company's stock grant plan. 
     As a result of this forfeiture, deferred compensation and
     capital in excess of par value were reduced by approximately
     $1.7 million.  The deferred compensation is amortized over the
     compensated periods of service through 1997.

19.  Employee benefit plans (continued):

         The Company applies the provisions of APB Opinion 25 and 
     related Interpretationsin accounting for its employee benefit plans.  
     Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock 
     option plans.  Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based
     compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at
     the grant date for awards under those plans consistent with the
     method prescribed by SFAS 123, the Company's proforma net income would
     have been $12.8 million in 1996 and a net loss of $154,000 in
     1995.  Proforma earnings per share would have been $.67 per
     share in 1996 and a loss of $.03 per share in 1995.

         The Company has adopted the ShowBiz 401(k) Retirement and
     Savings Plan, to which it may at its discretion make an annual
     contribution out of its current or accumulated earnings. 
     Contributions by the Company may be made in the form of its
     common stock or in cash.  In 1996, the Company made
     contributions of approximately $37,000 and $15,000 in common
     stock for the 1995 and 1994 plan years, respectively.  The
     Company plans to contribute $59,000 in common stock for the 1996
     plan year.

20.  Quarterly results of operations (unaudited):

         The following summarizes the unaudited quarterly results of

     and his family become covered under a policy or plan paid
     for by a new employer of Employee providing substantially
     similar coverage and benefits.  In the event Employee's
     employment terminates and this Section 27 becomes
     effective, and thereafter Employee dies while the
     benefits provided herein are still in effect, such
     benefits shall continue for Employee's family until five
     (5) years have passed following his termination of
     employment.  The benefits set forth under this Section 27
     shall be provided in addition to any other payments,
     benefits or compensation, if any, to which Employee, his
     estate or his designated beneficiary is entitled due to
     his termination of employment as set forth in this
     Agreement."

                                                Dated as of 
$250,000.00           Irving, Texas               December 16, 1996


     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF SHOWBIZ PIZZA TIME RESTAURANTS, INC. ("Borrower"), a Texas

("Lender"), a Kansas corporation (hereinafter collectively referred
to as "Parties"), the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND
AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250,000.00), or so much thereof as may from
time to time be advanced, together with interest accrued on the
unpaid principal balance hereof as set forth below.

     1.   Interest Rate.  The unpaid principal amount hereof from
time to time outstanding from the date hereof until maturity shall
bear interest at ten and one-half percent (10.5%).  Interest shall
be calculated at the end of each Lender's monthly accounting

     2.   Payment of Principal and Interest.  Each payment by
Borrower to Lender on this Note shall be applied first to fees
and/or costs, if any, pursuant to Section 8 hereof and then applies
to any accrued interest, and then any remaining portion of the

          within five (5) days after receipt of written
          notice of such failure; or

     (c)  The filing by or against the Borrower of a
          voluntary or involuntary proceeding seeking
          liquidation, reorganization or other relief with
          respect to Borrower or its debts under any
          bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
          hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a
          trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other
          similar official for Borrower or any substantial
          part of its property and, in the case of any
          involuntary proceeding not consented to by

          sixty (60) days of its filing.

     7.   Waiver.  Borrower, sureties, endorsers, guarantors and

for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest,
notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and all
other notices, filing of suit and diligence in collecting this Note
or enforcing any other security with respect to same, (b) agree to

reasonable fees and court costs for collection.

     9.   Limitation of Agreements.  All agreements between the
Borrower and the Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising
and whether written or oral, are hereby expressly limited so that
in no contingency or event, whether by reason of demand or
otherwise, shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid to the
Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money to be
loaned under this Note or otherwise or for the payment or
performance of any covenant or obligation contained herein or in
any other document evidencing security or pertaining to the loan
evidenced hereby, exceed the maximum amount permissible under
applicable law, as now existing or as hereafter amended, If from
any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof or
in any of such other documents at the time performance of such
provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of
validity prescribed by law, then ipso facto, the obligation to be
fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if
from any such circumstances the Lender shall ever receive interest
(or anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law)
which would exceed the highest rate of interest allowed by
applicable law, such amount which would be excessive interest shall
be applied to the reduction of the principal due hereunder and not
to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest, exceeds
the unpaid balance of principal of this Note, such excess shall be
refunded to the Borrower.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to
the Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term
of such indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate
of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform, or does not
exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law as now existing
or hereafter amended, throughout the term thereof.  The terms and
provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every
other provision of all agreements between the Lender and the
Borrower.

     10.  Records.  Borrower hereby appoints Lender as the
authorized agent of Borrower with full authority to record on the
Payment Grid ("Grid") attached hereto as Exhibit A, and
incorporated herein by reference for all purposes, the dates of
each transaction, amounts of all principal advances, as well as
principal and interest payments, made under this Note, and balance
due on the Note.  This Grid (and all notations made thereto) shall
be conclusive evidence of the actual amounts of principal and
accrued interest advanced and/or outstanding under this Note.

     11.  Notice.  Any notice required to be provided to Borrower
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently
given or furnished if delivered by personal delivery, telecopy,
expedited delivery service with proof of delivery, or by registered
or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, at Borrower's
address shown below or at Borrower's most current address on file
with Lender.  Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given at
the time of personal delivery, or in the case of telecopy, upon
receipt, or in the case of delivery service or mail, as of the date
of the first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner
provided herein.  Borrower promises to give Lender prompt notice of
any change in Borrower's address.

     12.  Miscellaneous.

     (a)  No failure or delay by Lender in exercising any
          right, power or privilege under this Note or the
          Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
          shall any single or partial exercise thereof
          preclude any further exercise thereof or the
          exercise or any other right, power or privilege.

     (b)  The captions used in this Note are for convenience
          only and shall not be deemed to amplify, modify or
          limit any provision hereof.

     (c)  Words of any gender used in this Note shall be
          construed to include any other gender, and words in
          the singular shall include the plural and vice
          versa, unless the context otherwise requires.

     (d)  This Note shall be binding upon and inure to the
          benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs,
          legal representatives, successors and assigns.

     (e)  This Note, together with the Agreement, contains
          the entire agreement between the Parties with
          respect to the subject matter hereof and can be
          altered, amended or modified only by a written
          instrument executed by both Parties.

     (f)  This Note may be executed in multiple copies, each
          of which shall be deemed an original, and all of
          such copies shall together constitute one and the
          same instrument.

     (g)  Time is of the essence in the performance of each
          obligation, covenant and condition under this Note.

          State of Texas.
