1.  UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
    financial statements contain all of  the normal recurring adjustments 
    necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of 
    March 31, 1997, the results of its operations and its cash flow for the 
    three month period ended March 31, 1997 and for the six month period ended 
    March 31, 1997.  Operating results for the three month period ended 
    March 31, 1997 and for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 are not 
    necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year 
    ending September 30, 1997.

         The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1996 is derived 
    from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
    required by generally accepted accounting principles.  As a result, these 
    financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 
    Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996.

ITEM 2  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS FOR THE COMPANY

General

  On July 27, 1992, the stockholders of Good Times Restaurants Inc. (the
"Company") approved a merger with Round The Corner Restaurants, Inc. ("RTC").  
For financial statement purposes, RTC was considered the acquiring company and 
the transaction was treated as a purchase by RTC of the Company, effective 
August 1, 1992.  For legal purposes, however, the Company remained the surviving
entity and the combined entity retained the Company's capital structure.  

  In February 1993, the Company's operations and management were reorganized
to allow Good Times Drive Thru Inc. ("Drive Thru") and RTC to function as 
separately accountable entities and to allow RTC's and Drive Thru's managements
to focus exclusively on their respective businesses.  On September 29, 1995, 
the Company completed the sale of RTC to Hot Concepts Management Group, L.L.C. 
Beginning in fiscal 1996, the administrative and accounting functions of the 
Company were consolidated with Drive Thru's operations.  In October 1996, RTC 
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  The Company recorded a reserve for anticipated
losses in its September 30, 1996 financial statements.

  Drive Thru had twenty-five units open at March 31, 1997, of which eleven
were franchised units, seven joint-venture units and seven company-owned units
compared to twenty-six units open at March 31, 1996, of which eight were 
franchised units, ten joint-venture units and eight company-owned units.  
(Four units that were sold or subleased in February, April and May, 1996 are 
included in the total stores for the prior year period.)  During the three 
months ended March 31, 1997 one new franchised unit was opened.  Subsequent to 
March 31, 1997, the Company opened one new joint-venture unit on May 6, 1997 
and anticipates opening five to six new company-owned, franchise and joint-
venture restaurants during 1997.

  The following presents certain historical financial information of the
operations of the Company.  This financial information includes the results of 
the Company and Drive Thru for the three months and six months ended March 31, 
1996 and the results of the Company and Drive Thru for the three months and 
six months ended March 31, 1997.
  
Results of Operations

  Net Revenues.  Net restaurant revenues for the three months ended March 31,
1997 decreased $476,000 (16%) to $2,448,000 from $2,924,000 for the same prior 
year period. $336,000 of the decrease was attributable to three under-performing
units that were sold or subleased in April and May 1996, one of which was 
company-owned and two were joint-venture units. $135,000 of the decrease was 
attributable to one company-owned unit and one joint-venture unit that were sold
to franchisees in February and November 1996.  Same store sales for Company 
operated units open for the full three month periods in 1996 and 1997 decreased 
$5,000 or (.10%).  Franchise revenue increased $5,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 due to an increase in franchise fee income over the same prior 
year period.

  Net restaurant revenues for the six months ended March 31, 1997 decreased
$1,018,000 (16%) to $5,218,000 from $6,236,000 for the same prior year period.
$1,065,000 of the decrease is attributable to the sale of two units to 
franchisees in February and November, 1996 and the sale or sublease of three 
under-performing units in April and May, 1996.  Same store sales for Company 
operated units open for the full six month periods in 1996 and 1997 decreased 
$102,000 or 2%.  Franchise revenue increased $7,000 during the six months ended
March 31, 1997 from the same prior year period due to higher franchise royalty 
fees.

  Food and Paper Costs.  Food and paper costs decreased to 37.5% of net
restaurant sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to 38.4% 
for the same prior year period.  The decrease is attributable to a net menu 
price increase of approximately 5.5% at all company-owned and joint-venture 
units effective March 1, 1997.  Cost of sales was negatively impacted by an 
increase in beef and produce costs during the three months ended March 31, 1997
compared to the same prior year period.

  Food and paper costs decreased to 37.5% of net restaurant sales for the six
months ended March 31, 1997 compared to 37.8% for the same prior year period.

  Income From Restaurant Operations.  For the three months ended March 31,
1997, income from restaurant operations increased to $211,000 from $101,000 for
the same prior year period. Drive Thru's income from restaurant operations as a
percentage of net restaurant sales increased to 8.6% for the three months ended 
March 31, 1997 from 3.5% for the same prior year period.

  Cash flow from restaurant operations (income from restaurant operations
plus depreciation and amortization) increased to 14.2% of net restaurant sales 
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from 10.1% for the same prior year 
period.

  For the six months ended March 31, 1997, income from restaurant operations
increased to $498,000 from $395,000 for the same prior year period.  Drive 
Thru's income from restaurant operations as a percentage of net restaurant sales
increased to 9.5% for the six months ended March 31, 1997 from 6.3% for the 
same prior year period.

  Cash flow from restaurant operations (income from restaurant operations
plus depreciation and amortization) increased to 15% of net restaurant sales 
for the six months ended March 31, 1997 from 12.2% for the same prior year 
period. 

  The improvement in both income and cash flow from restaurants as a
percentage of net restaurant sales is a direct result of management's continued 
focus on improving restaurant labor efficiencies.

  Income (Losses) From Operations.  The Company had a loss from operations of
($272,000) in the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to a loss from
operations of ($543,000) for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The 
improvement in income from operations of $271,000 for the three months ended 
March 31, 1997 is attributable to an increase in income from restaurant 
operations of $110,000 and a decrease in selling, general and administrative 
expenses of $161,000 compared to the same prior year period.  The decrease in 
selling, general and administrative expenses is due to reductions in staff and 
administrative expenses as management has positioned the Company for growth and
development in the Colorado market.

  For the six months ended March 31, 1997, losses from operations decreased
to ($473,000) from ($967,000) in the same prior year period.  The improvement in
income from operations of $494,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 is
attributable to an increase in income from restaurant operations of $103,000 
and a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $391,000 
compared to the same prior year period.

  Net Income (Loss).  The net loss for the Company was ($640,000) for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to a net loss for the Company of
($481,000) for the comparable prior year period.   Minority interest expense
increased $85,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1997 from the same 
prior year period.  This was attributable to the elimination of two under-
performing joint venture Drive Thru units in Colorado that were sold or 
subleased in April and May 1996 and the sale of the Boise, Idaho joint-venture 
unit in November 1996.  Net interest expense decreased $11,000 for the three 
months ended March 31, 1997 from the same prior year period.  This decrease 
is attributable to the repayment of a capitallease obligation in April 1996.  
The loss from RTC and Las Vegas lease liabilities of ($355,000) for the three 
months ended March 31, 1997 includes ($42,000) from the operation of three RTC
restaurants currently operated by Drive Thru under an agreement with RTC related
to the Company's contingent lease guaranty obligations, and ($313,000) for 
future lease liabilities under two leases in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
The liability reflects the present value of rent due under the leases in 
excess of market rate rent.  Management is actively marketing the RTC 
restaurants for sale.

  For the six month period ended March 31, 1997, the net loss for the Company
was ($809,000) compared to a net loss for the Company of ($894,000) in the same
prior year period.   Minority interest expense increased $122,000 in the six
months ended March 31, 1997 from the same prior year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  As of March 31, 1997, the Company and Drive Thru had $358,000 cash and
marketable securities on hand.  This amount is believed sufficient to cover 
working capital needs of the Company for the balance of the 1997 fiscal year.

  The Company had a working capital deficit of ($555,000) including $115,000
of current maturities of capital lease obligations and $171,000 of accrued 
expenses associated with the RTC bankruptcy.  The Company's cash position 
decreased ($94,000) for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  Because 
restaurant sales are collected in cash and accounts payable for food and paper 
products are paid two to four weeks later, restaurant companies often operate 
with working capital deficits. 

  On October 1, 1996, the Company closed the sale of $1 million of preferred
stock, $250,000 of which was the conversion of a note payable, $250,000 was 
received in cash on October 1, 1996, and on January 1, 1997 and the balance of 
the preferred stock investment was made in an installment of $250,000 on 
April 1, 1997.  The proceeds of the preferred stock sale are required to be used
for the development of new Good Times restaurants by December 31, 1997 unless 
unanimously approved otherwise by the Company's Board of Directors.

  Cash flow from investing activities for the three months ended March 31,
1997 includes the use of $86,000 toward the development of two new joint-venture
restaurants.

  Cash flow from financing activities for the three months ended March 31,
1997 includes the receipt of $250,000 cash in conjunction with the closing of 
the preferred stock sale on January 1, 1997.

  For the six months ended March 31, 1997, cash decreased $182,000.  Cash
used in operations was $565,000, cash provided by investing activities was 
$284,000, and cash provided by financing activities was $99,000.  

  Cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities for the six
months ended March 31, 1997 includes the sale of one joint-venture restaurant in
Boise, Idaho to a franchisee, which decreased other accrued liabilities 
$175,000, decreased fixed assets $429,000 and decreased notes payable $346,000.

  The Company entered into a co-development agreement with a current
franchisee to develop one joint-venture unit in Ft. Collins, Colorado.  In
conjunction therewith, the Co-Development Limited Partnership has entered into a
$200,000 bank loan jointly guaranteed by the Company and the franchisee to 
finance the development of the Ft. Collins unit.

  The Company anticipates using approximately $325,000 for the development of
two joint-venture restaurants and one restaurant remodel in the third and fourth
quarters of fiscal 1997.

  Neither the Company nor Drive Thru have any bank lines of credit.

Impact of Inflation

  Drive Thru has not experienced a significant impact from inflation.  It is
anticipated any operating expense increases will be recovered by increasing menu
prices to the extent that is prudent considering competition.

Seasonality

  Revenues of Drive Thru are subject to seasonal fluctuation based primarily
on weather conditions adversely affecting restaurant sales in January, February
and March.

Part II. - Other Information

Item 1.     Legal Proceedings

          On April 29, 1997, Drive Thru received notice of a Complaint filed
          against it by College Park Realty Company of Las Vegas, Nevada for
          breach of lease.  The lease had been assigned to Steakout, King of
          Steaks, Inc. and one of its franchisees.  While Drive Thru is 
          obligated under the lease, it has cause of action against the 
          franchisee that executed a personal guaranty of the lease and 
          management does not believe any financial statement adjustment is 
          warranted.

Item 2.     Changes in Securities

            None.

Item 3.     Defaults Upon Senior Securities

            None.
