1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

    In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial
    statements contain all of the normal recurring adjustments necessary to
    present fairly the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
    1997, the results of its operations and its cash flow for the three
    months ended December 31, 1997.  Operating results for the three months
    ended December 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results
    that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 1998.

    The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1997 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, 1997.

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


General

    On September 30, 1995, the Company completed the sale of Round The
Corner Restaurants, Inc. ("RTC") to Hot Concepts Management Group, L.L.C.  In
October 1996, RTC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  The Company has entered
into a settlement agreement with RTC whereby RTC will pay the Company $300,000
in two installments for the settlement of all of the Company's claims against
RTC.  One 
installment has been received and the remaining payment is due February, 1998.

    Drive Thru had twenty-eight units open at December 31, 1997, of which
eleven were franchised units, nine joint-venture units and eight company-owned
units compared to twenty-four units open at December 31, 1996, of which ten
were franchised units, seven joint-venture units and seven company-owned
units.  Management anticipates that Drive Thru and its existing franchisees
will develop a total of four to seven Good Times units in the Denver ADI in
1998.

    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 ended December 31, 1996 and
the results of the Company and Drive Thru for the three months ended December
31, 1997.

Results of Operations

    Net Revenues.  Net revenues for the three months ended December 31,
1997, increased $315,000 (+11.3%) to $3,107,000 from $2,792,000 for the same
prior year period.  Increased net revenues of $330,000 were attributable to
Good Times units that were not open for the prior year period and decreased
net revenues of $69,000 were attributable to one joint-venture unit that was
sold to a franchisee in November, 1996.  Same store net restaurant sales for
company-owned and joint-venture Drive Thru units increased $27,000 (+1%) for
the three months ended December 31, 1997 from the same prior year period. 
Management estimates that it lost approximately $80,000 in net restaurant
sales from the October blizzard due to most of its restaurants being closed. 
Factoring out the effects of the blizzard, same store net restaurant sales
would have increased 4% in the quarter ended December 31, 1997 over the same
prior year period.  Same store net restaurant sales variances from the prior
year for October, November and December, 1997 were -2.2%, -0.5% and +6.3%,
respectively.  Franchise revenue increased $27,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1997 due to an increase in franchise royalty income over the same
prior year period as well as the recognition of $18,000 of deferred royalties
associated with the sale of a company-owned unit in 1996.
 
    Food and Paper Costs.  Food and paper costs were 35.3% of net restaurant
sales for Drive Thru for the three months ended December 31, 1997, compared
to 37.6% for the same prior year period. The decrease in Drive Thru's food and
paper costs is primarily attributable to menu price increases taken during the
last eight months of the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, with less than
proportionate increases in food and paper costs.

    Income From Restaurant Operations.  For the three months ended December
31, 1997 income from restaurant operations increased to $504,000 from $287,000
for the same prior year period. $29,000 of the increase was due to a one-time
property tax expense reversal.  Drive Thru's income from restaurant operations
as a percentage of net restaurant sales increased to 16.5% for the three
months ended December 31, 1997 from 10.4% for the three months ended December
31, 1996.

    Cash flow from restaurant operations (income from restaurant operations
plus depreciation and amortization) increased to 21.9% of net restaurant sales
for the three months ended December 31, 1997 from 15.7% 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 1) management's focus
on improving restaurant labor efficiencies and restaurant expenses; 2) a
reduction in food and paper costs as a percentage of net restaurant sales due
to menu price increases; and 3) an increase in same store net restaurant
sales, which causes restaurant expenses to decrease as a percentage of net
restaurant sales.

    Income (Losses) From Operations.  The Company had a loss from operations
of ($56,000) for the three months ended December 31, 1997 compared to a loss
from operations of ($170,000) for the three months ended December 31, 1996. 
The improvement in income from operations of $114,000 is primarily
attributable to an increase in income from restaurant operations of $217,000,
offset by an increase in advertising expenses of $50,000, an increase in
general and administrative expenses of $15,000 and an increase in the loss
from operating RTC stores of $38,000 compared to the same prior year period. 
The increase in advertising expenses is attributable to a television
advertising campaign launched in September, 1997.  The general and
administrative expense increase was due to a timing difference in expensing
the Company's annual audit costs.  Management anticipates minimal future
losses associated with operating RTC stores as negotiations are underway for
sublease agreements or lease terminations on the two remaining stores within
the Company's control.

    Net Income (Loss).  The net loss for the Company was ($62,000) for the
three months ended December 31, 1997 compared to a net loss for the Company
of ($169,000) for the comparable prior year period.  Minority interest expense
increased $33,000 in the three months ended December 31, 1997 from the same
prior year period.  This was attributable to the sale of the Boise, Idaho
joint-venture unit in November, 1996 and to the improved income from
restaurant operations of the Colorado joint-venture units compared to the same
prior year period.  Net interest expense increased $8,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 1997 from the same prior year period, attributable to a
reduction in interest income of ($9,000).  Other net income for the three
months ended December 31, 1997 includes a gain of $52,000 related to the sale
of a long-term land investment held by the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    As of December 31, 1997, the Company and Drive Thru had $395,000 cash
and cash equivalents on hand. Management anticipates entering into a short-term
working capital loan during its second fiscal quarter to cover the
Company's working capital needs for the balance of the 1998 fiscal year. 
Additional sources of financing will be required to fund the development of
additional company-owned restaurants.

    The Company had a working capital deficit of ($606,000) including
$124,000 of current maturities of capital lease obligations, $26,000 in
current maturities of long-term debt and $125,000 of accrued lease expenses
associated with the RTC and Las Vegas lease liabilities.   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.

    Cash flow from operating activities for the three months ended December
31, 1997 includes the receipt of $190,000 from RTC as the first installment
for the settlement of all of the Company's claims against RTC, and $80,000 in
proceeds received from the sale of a long-term land investment previously held
by the Company.



    Cash flow from investing activities for the three months ended December
31, 1997 includes net costs of $94,000 incurred to remodel and add inside
seating to a previously closed company-owned store.  The remodeled store
reopened in November, 1997.

    Cash flow from financing activities for the three months ended December
31, 1997 includes the issuance of $15,000 of stock to employees pursuant to
the Company's 401(K) Savings & Investment Plan matching program.
    
    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 that any inflationary increases in operating costs will be
recovered by increasing menu prices.

Seasonality

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