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 29, 1997. 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 months ended September 28, 1997 and September 29, 1996, common stock equivalents were 786,174 and 798,795, respectively, and the total weighted average number of shares considered to be outstanding were 13,466,216 and 13,721,024, respectively. (3) In July 1997, the Company reacquired the area development rights for the majority of Tennessee and portions of Kentucky. The Company paid $986,000 in cash for these rights, and recorded a long-term asset for the same amount. Restaurants operating or developed in the reacquired territory will now pay all royalties and franchise fees directly to Pizza Inn, Inc. The asset will be amortized over approximately five years, based on the expected cash flow from the territory. (4) In August 1997, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share on the Company's common stock, payable October 24, 1997 to shareholders of record on October 10, 1997. The Company's balance sheet as of September 28, 1997 includes a current liability of $776,000 for dividends declared but not yet paid. (5) In August 1997, the Company signed a new agreement (the "New Loan Agreement") with its current lender, Wells Fargo, to refinance its existing debt under a new revolving credit facility. The new $9.5 million revolving credit line combines the Company's existing $6.9 million term loan with its $1 million revolving credit line, plus an additional $1.6 million revolving credit commitment. The revolving credit note matures in August 1999 and is secured by essentially all of the Company's assets. Interest on the revolving credit line is payable monthly. Interest is provided for at a rate equal to prime plus an interest margin from -1.0% to 0.0% or, at the Company's option, at the Eurodollar rate plus 1.25% to 2.25%. The interest rate margin is based on the Company's performance under certain financial ratio tests. A 0.5% annual commitment fee is payable on any unused portion of the revolving credit line. The New Loan Agreement contains covenants which, among other things, require the Company to satisfy certain financial ratios and restrict additional debt. (6) 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 iterim 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. Three Months Ended ---------------------------------------------- September 28, 1997 September 29, 1996 ------------------ ------------------ Basic EPS $ .09 $ .08 Diluted EPS .08 .07

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Quarter ended September 28, 1997 compared to the quarter ended September 29, 1996. Net income for the current quarter increased 10% to $1,091,000 or $0.08 per share, from $996,000 or $0.07 per share for the same quarter last year. Food and supply sales from the Company's distribution division decreased 6% or $960,000 in the current year. This was primarily the result of slightly lower domestic retail sales, decreases in the market price of certain commodities, and a $471,000 decrease in international food and supply sales. This decrease in international food and supply sales was the result of a large initial shipment to a new international location in the prior year. Franchise revenue, which includes income from royalties, license fees, and area development and foreign master license (collectively, "Territory") sales, increased 12% or $194,000 compared to the prior year. This was primarily due to an increase in income recognized from Territory sales in the current year. The timing and amount of proceeds from Territory sales may vary significantly from year to year. Current year sales include partial recognition of proceeds from the sale of Territory rights for Korea, the Palestinian Territories, Brazil, South Carolina and Virginia. Royalties increased slightly due to the reacquisition of the area development rights for the majority of Tennessee and portions of Kentucky during the quarter. Royalties from all restaurants operating in this territory, including the portion of royalties formerly retained by the area developer, are now paid directly to the Company. Other income consists primarily of interest and non-recurring revenue items. The current year includes a gain on the sale of a liquor license in New Mexico. Cost of sales decreased 7% or $912,000 for the quarter, primarily reflecting the decrease in food and supply sales noted above. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales was slightly lower in the current quarter due to increased purchasing efficiencies. Franchise expenses increased 22% or $161,000 compared to the same quarter last year, reflecting increases in expenditures for sales, marketing, training and field service personnel, as well as increased travel for new store openings and new product roll-out. Franchise expenses for the current year also include the amortization of the reacquired area development Territory. The Company paid $986,000 in cash for this Territory, and recorded a long-term asset for the same amount. The asset will be amortized over approximately five years, based on the expected cash flow from the territory. General and administrative expenses remained at approximately the same amount as last year, as the Company continues to hold down costs not directly related to the franchise and distribution areas of the business. Interest expense decreased 27% or $52,000 in the current quarter as a result of lower average debt balances and slightly lower interest rates. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash provided by operations totaled $1,264,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1998, 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 a $225,000 voluntary principal payment during the quarter, to reacquire an area development territory for $986,000, and to repurchase 185,700 shares of its own common stock for $860,000. During the quarter, the Company signed an agreement for the sale of an area development territory covering certain counties in Virginia and South Carolina to an existing area developer for a cash price of $240,000. The cash proceeds from the sale, which were received on October 1, 1997, are recorded as a receivable at September 28, 1997. This area development agreement, along with other agreements signed during the last four years, contain development commitments for significant unit growth over the next five years. Related growth in royalties and distribution sales are expected to provide adequate working capital. The occurrence of any additional area development sales, which cannot be predicted with any certainty, may also provide significant infusions of cash. External sources of cash are not expected to be required in the foreseeable future. In August 1997, the Company signed a new agreement (the "New Loan Agreement") with its current lender, Wells Fargo, to refinance its existing debt under a new revolving credit facility. The new $9.5 million revolving credit line combines the Company's existing $6.9 million term loan with its $1 million revolving credit line, plus an additional $1.6 million revolving credit commitment. The revolving credit note matures in August 1999 and is secured by essentially all of the Company's assets. In August 1997, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share on the Company's common stock, payable October 24, 1997 to shareholders of record on October 10, 1997. The Company's balance sheet as of September 28, 1997 includes a current liability of $776,000 for dividends declared but not paid. The Company continues to realize substantial benefit from the utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards (which currently total $18.9 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 temporary differences, to fully realize its net deferred tax asset balance ($8.0 million as of September 28, 1997). Taxable income in future years at the same level as fiscal 1997 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 and deductions for accrued expenses and deferred revenues. "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.

     ARTICLE  II

     TITLE  AND  AUTHORITY

     2.01     Rogers agrees to act as President and/or Chief Executive Officer
of  the  Company and to render such services as are normally delegated to such
offices  and positions and such additional services as may be delegated to him
from  time  to  time  by  the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of
Directors")  or  otherwise  stated  in  the Company's By-Laws, as amended.  In
performing such duties hereunder, Rogers shall give the Company the benefit of
his  special  knowledge,  skills,  contacts  and business experience and shall
devote  substantially  all of his business time, attention, ability and energy
exclusively  to  the  business  of the Company.  It is agreed that Rogers may 
have  other  business  investments  and participate in other business ventures
which  may,  from  time to time, require minor portions of his time, but which
shall  not  interfere  or  be  inconsistent  with  his  duties  hereunder.


     ARTICLE  III

     COMPENSATION

     3.01     Base Salary.  During the Term, the Company will pay to Rogers,
as  compensation for services rendered under this Agreement, an aggregate base
salary  (the "Base Salary") of Five Hundred Thirty-Six Thousand Sixty-Five and
No/100  Dollars  ($536,065.00)  per  annum.   The Base Salary shall be paid in
equal  bi-weekly  installments  less  applicable  withholding,  FICA and other
taxes,  if any.  Such Base Salary shall be increased by 5% per year commencing
on  the  Effective  Date,  and  on  each  anniversary  of  the  Effective Date
thereafter  during  the  Term.

     3.02     Cash  Bonuses.  The Company agrees to pay Rogers the cash
bonuses  provided  below  during the term of this Agreement.  In the event the
Company  fails to meet the required criteria for Rogers to earn any portion of
any of the bonuses listed below due to an extraordinary non-recurring event or
condition,  the  Compensation  Committee  of  the  Board  of Directors has the
authority,  in  its  sole  discretion,  to authorize an additional bonus of an
amount not exceeding the amount lost by Rogers due to such event or condition.
The  Compensation Committee also has the authority, in its sole discretion, to
authorize  an  additional bonus to Rogers at each fiscal year end in the event
the  Company experiences superior financial or stock price performance and the
Compensation  Committee  deems  such  a  bonus  appropriate.

     (a)      Bonus No. 1.   During the Term, the Company will pay to Rogers a
cash incentive bonus ("Bonus No. 1") equal to $150,000 per Company fiscal year
if  at  least  50  new  Pizza  Inn  units are opened during such fiscal year. 
Payments  will  be made on a semi-annual basis, 50% on January 1 and July 1 of
each  year,  based  upon the opening of at least 25 new Pizza Inn units during
each  semi-annual  period of such fiscal year. To the extent that 25 new units
are not opened in either semi-annual period, the entire unpaid amount of Bonus
No. 1 shall be paid to Rogers at fiscal year end if 50 new units are opened by
fiscal  year  end.

     (b)      Bonus No. 2.   During the Term, the Company will pay to Rogers a
cash  incentive  bonus  ("Bonus  No.  2"), payable quarterly, in the amount of
$37,500  for  each  fiscal  quarter  in  which the Company's operating results
report pre-tax income growth or earnings per share growth of at least 10% more
than  the  same  quarter in the preceding year.  To the extent that there is a
shortfall  from such goal in any given quarter, the entire year-to-date unpaid
amount  of  Bonus  No.  2  shall  be  paid to Rogers if the total year-to-date
pre-tax  income  growth  for  such  fiscal  year is at least 10% more than the
previous  fiscal  year.

     (c)      Bonus No. 3.   During the Term, the Company will pay to Rogers a
cash  incentive bonus ("Bonus No. 3"), payable at the end of each fiscal year,
based  on  the  targets set forth below for pre-tax operating cash flow.   For
the  purposes  of  this  Agreement,  "pre-tax  operating cash flow" shall mean
pre-tax  income  plus  depreciation, amortization, allowance for bad debt, and
accrued  expense  for  bonuses  issued  under  this  Section 3.02.  If pre-tax
operating  cash  flow  equals  or  exceeds the target amount for an applicable
year,  then  Bonus No. 3 shall equal $200,000.  If pre-tax operating cash flow
equals  or  exceeds  75%  but  is  less  than 100% of the target amount for an
applicable  year,  then  Bonus  No. 3 shall equal $150,000.  There shall be no
Bonus  No.  3  if  pre-tax  operating cash flow is less than 75% of the target
amount  for  an  applicable  year.  If pre-tax operating cash flow exceeds the
target  amount  for  an  applicable year by $300,000 or more, then Bonus No. 3
shall  equal  $250,000.

     ARTICLE  V

     TERMINATION

     5.01     Disability of Rogers.  If Rogers shall become disabled, ill or
be  injured  or  otherwise  become  incapacitated such that, in the good faith
opinion  of  the Board of Directors, he cannot fully carry out and perform his
duties  hereunder,  and  such  incapacity  shall  continue  for a period of 90
consecutive  days,  the  Board of Directors may, at any time thereafter, fully
and  finally  terminate  his  employment under this Agreement by giving Rogers
written  notice  of  such  termination;  provided,  however,  Rogers shall
continue  to  receive  25%  of his Base Salary for the remainder of the Term. 
Termination  under  this  Paragraph  5.01 shall be effective as of the date of
such  notice.    The  right  to  terminate  Rogers hereby shall expire (if not
invoked)  at  such  time  as the event causing such incapacity is fully cured.

     5.02     Death  of  Rogers.     This Agreement shall automatically
terminate  upon  the  death  of  Rogers; provided, however, that the estate of
Rogers  shall receive for one (1) year after the date of death, upon the dates
that  such  payments  would have been made to Rogers, payments of Base Salary,
Bonus  No.  1,  Bonus  No.  2,  and  Bonus  No.  3 pursuant to this Agreement.


     5.03     Termination by the Company for Cause.   In addition to any
other  remedies  which  the Company may have at law or in equity, the Board of
Directors may immediately terminate Rogers' employment under this Agreement in
the  event  of  the  occurrence  of  any  of  the  following  events:

      (a)     Rogers willfully engages in an act of dishonesty (including, but 
not limited to, conviction of a  felony) which act in and of itself materially
injures  or  damages  the  Company;  or

      (b)     Rogers willfully fails to substantially perform his duties within
fifteen  (15)  days  after  written  demand  for  substantial  performance  is
delivered  to  Rogers  by  the  Board  of Directors, which demand specifically
identifies  the  manner  in  which  the  Board  believes  that  Rogers has not
substantially  performed  his  duties.
The  Board  of  Directors  shall  provide at least ten (10) days prior written
notice  to  Rogers  of  its  intention to discharge Rogers for cause, and such
notice  must  specify  in  detail  the nature of the cause alleged and provide
Rogers  an  opportunity  to  be  heard  by the Board of Directors prior to the
expiration  of  such  ten  day  period.

     5.04     Termination  by  the Company Without Cause.  The Board of
Directors  may  terminate  Rogers  without  cause  (cause  being as defined in
Paragraph  5.03  above)  upon  30  days  prior  written  notice.

     5.05     Termination by Rogers.   Rogers may, with or without cause,
terminate  his  employment  under  this  Agreement  at  any time by giving the
Company  at  least  30  days  prior  written  notice  of  such  termination.

     5.06     Change of Control.   Rogers may terminate this Agreement with
or  without any reason at any time within six months after a Change of Control
has  occurred  by giving the Company at least ten days prior written notice of
such  termination.   "Change of Control" shall mean any of the following:  (a)
all  or  substantially  all  of  the  assets  of the Company are sold, leased,
exchanged or otherwise transferred to any person or entity or group of persons
or entities acting in concert as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate
or  other  group (a "Group of Persons") other than a person or entity or Group
of  Persons  at  least  50%  of  the combined voting power of which is held by
Rogers;  or  (b)  the  Company  is merged or consolidated with or into another
corporation with the effect that the then existing stockholders of the Company
hold  less  than  50%  of  the  combined  voting power of the then outstanding
securities  of  the  surviving  corporation  of such merger or the corporation
resulting  from  such consolidation ordinarily (and apart from rights accruing
under  special  circumstances)  having  the  right  to vote in the election of
directors;  or  (c) a person or entity or Group of Persons (other than (i) the
Company or (ii) an employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company) shall, as a
result  of  a  tender  or  exchange  offer,  open  market purchases, privately
negotiated  purchases  or  otherwise, have become the beneficial owner (within
the  meaning  of  Rule  13d-3  under  the  Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of
securities  of  the  Company  representing  50% or more of the combined voting
power  of the then outstanding securities of the Company ordinarily (and apart
from  rights accruing under special circumstances) having the right to vote in
the  election  of  directors;  or  (d) individuals who, as of the date hereof,
constitute the Board of Directors (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason
to  constitute  at  least  a  majority  of  the  Board of Directors; provided,
however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof
whose  election, or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, was
approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the
Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of
the  Incumbent  Board,  but  excluding,  for this purpose, any such individual
whose  initial  assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or
threatened  election  contest  (as  such  terms  are  used  in  Rule 14a-11 of
Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or other
actual  or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a
Person  other  than  the  Board  of  Directors.

     5.07     Termination by Rogers for Good Reason.  Rogers may terminate
his  employment  for  good  reason  within twelve months following a Change of
Control  by  giving the Company at least ten days prior written notice of such
termination.    For  purposes  of  this  Agreement,  "good reason" shall mean,
without  Rogers' express written consent, that, following a Change of Control,
(i)  Rogers  is  required  to  relocate,  (ii) Rogers is assigned a diminished
position  or  diminished  responsibilities  with the Company, or (iii) Rogers'
annual  base  salary,  bonus  or  benefits,  as  the same may be contractually
adjusted  from  time to time, are reduced in any manner other than as provided
for  in  Section  3.02  in  this  Agreement.


     ARTICLE  VI

     RIGHTS  UPON  TERMINATION

     6.01     If the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Paragraphs
5.01 or 5.03 hereof, or if this Agreement is automatically terminated pursuant
to  Paragraph  5.02 hereof, or if Rogers terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Paragraph 5.05 hereof, then Rogers or Rogers' estate, as the case may be, will
only  be entitled to the salary (under Paragraph 3.01) which has been received
or  accrued  to  the date of termination, and Rogers or Rogers' estate, as the
case  may  be, will not be entitled to any additional salary for the remainder
of  the Term (except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 5.01 or 5.02 hereof). 
Rogers  will  not  be  entitled  to any bonus (including any bonuses set forth
herein),  further equity participation, employee benefit, or any other payment
except  for  bonuses  which may have accrued prior to the date of termination.

     6.02     If the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph
5.04 hereof, or if Rogers terminates this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 5.06
or  5.07  hereof, Rogers will be entitled to a lump sum payment within 30 days
of  termination  of all ordinary salary payments as provided in Paragraph 3.01
which  would  have  been  paid  had  Rogers  remained in the employment of the
Company  during  the  complete  Term  together with an amount equal to (i) two
times  the  sum  of Bonus No. 1, Bonus No. 2 and Bonus No. 3 Rogers would have
received  in  the  fiscal  year  of  such  termination assuming the Company's 
financial  and  operational  results for such fiscal year attained the highest
levels  set  forth  in Paragraph 3.02 hereof, less (ii) any Bonus No. 1, Bonus
No.  2,  and  Bonus  No.  3  actually  received  in  such fiscal year based on
operating  results  of  such  fiscal  year.

     6.03     The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the amount set
forth  in  Paragraph 6.02 is not a penalty or a forfeiture; rather, the amount
specified  is  a  reasonable  and fair reflection of damages that Rogers might
incur  in  the  event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to such paragraph.

     6.04(a)  If  any  payment received or to be received by Rogers in
connection  with  a change in control of the Company or termination of Rogers'
employment  (whether  payable  pursuant  to the terms of this Agreement or any
other  plan,  arrangement,  or  agreement  with  the Company, any person whose
actions result in a change in control of the Company, or any person affiliated
with  the  Company  or  such  person (together with the severance payment, the
"total  payments"),  will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999
of  the  Internal Revenue Code, the Company will pay to Rogers, within 30 days
of any payments giving rise to excise tax, an additional amount (the "gross-up
payment") such that the net amount retained or to be retained by Rogers, after
deduction  of  any  excise tax on the total payments and any federal and state
and  local  income  tax and excise tax on the gross-up payment provided for by
this  section,  will  equal  the  total  payments.

     6.04(b)  For  purposes  of determining the amount of the gross-up
payment,  Rogers  will  be  deemed  to pay federal income taxes at the highest
marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year that the payment
is  to  be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate
of taxation in the state and locality of the executive's residence on the date
of  termination or the date that excise tax is withheld by the Company, net of
the  maximum  reduction  in  federal  income  taxes  that could be obtained by
deducting  such  state  and  local  taxes.

     6.04(c)  For purposes of determining whether any of the total payments
would not be deductible by the Company and would be subject to the excise tax,
and  the  amount  of  such  excise  tax, (i) total payments will be treated as
"parachute  payments" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal
Revenue  Code,  and all parachute payments in excess of the base amount within
the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) will be treated as subject to the excise tax
unless,  in  the  opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company's independent
auditors  and  acceptable  to Rogers such total payments (in whole or in part)
are  not  parachute payments, or such parachute payments in excess of the base
amount  (in whole or in part) are otherwise not subject to the excise tax, and
(ii)  the  value  of  any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit
will  be  determined  by the Company's independent auditors in accordance with
Sections  280G(d)(3)  and  (4)  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code.


     ARTICLE  VII

entertainment  and  travel.    Such expenses shall include economy airfare for
commuting  between  Rogers'  residence  (which may be his primary or secondary
residence)  and  the  Company's  corporate  office (or such other locations as
Rogers  needs  to  conduct  the  Company's  business  from time to time).  The
Company  shall  reimburse  Rogers  from time to time for all business expenses
which  are determined by the Board of Directors to be reasonable.  The Company

tender  his  resignation  from  the  Board  of  Directors.
     ARTICLE  IX

     TRADE  SECRETS  AND  NON  COMPETITION

     9.01     Trade Secrets. During the Term and at all times thereafter,
Rogers  shall  not  use  for his personal benefit, or disclose, communicate or
divulge  to,  or  use  for the direct or indirect benefit of any person, firm,
association  or company other than  the Company or any affiliate or subsidiary
of  the  Company,  any material referred to in Paragraph 10.01 or 10.02 or any
information  regarding  the  business  methods, business policies, procedures,
techniques,  research  or  development  projects or results, trade  secrets or
other  knowledge  or  processes  of  a  proprietary  nature  belonging  to, or
developed by, the Company or any other confidential information relating to or
dealing  with  the  business  operations  or  activities of the Company or any
affiliate  or  subsidiary  of  the Company, made known to Rogers or learned or
acquired  by  Rogers  while  in  the  employ  of  the  Company.

     9.02     Non-Competition.    For a period of three years after the
termination  of  his  employment  with  the  Company,  Rogers shall not become
employed  by,  consult  with or otherwise assist in any manner any company (or
any  affiliate  thereof)  the primary business of which involves or relates to
the  sale  of  pizza  in  the  continental  United  States.

     9.03     Remedies.  Rogers acknowledges that the restrictions contained
in the foregoing Paragraphs 9.01 and 9.02 (the "Restrictions"), in view of the
nature  of  the  business  in  which  the  Company  and  its  affiliates  and
subsidiaries are engaged, are reasonable and necessary in order to protect the
legitimate  interests  of the Company and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and
that  any violation thereof would result in irreparable injury to the Company,
and  Rogers therefore further acknowledges that, in the event Rogers violates,
or threatens to violate, any such Restrictions, the Company and its affiliates
and  subsidiaries  shall  be  entitled  to  obtain from any court of competent
jurisdiction,  without  the posting of any bond or other security, preliminary
and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages and an equitable accounting
of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such violation, which
rights  shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies in
law  or  equity  to  which  the  Company or any affiliate or subsidiary of the
Company  may  be  entitled.

     9.04     Invalid Provisions.  If any Restriction, or any part thereof,
is  determined  in  any judicial or administrative proceeding to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictions shall not thereby be affected
and  shall  be  given  full  effect, without regard to the invalid provisions.

     9.05     Judicial  Reformation.  If the period of time or the area
specified  in the Restrictions should be adjudged unreasonable in any judicial
or administrative proceeding, then the court or administrative body shall have
the power to reduce the period of time or the area covered and, in its reduced
form,  such  provision  shall  then  be  enforceable  and  shall  be enforced.

     9.06     Tolling.  If Rogers violates any of the Restrictions, the
restrictive  period  shall  not  run  in  favor of Rogers from the time of the
commencement  of any such violation until such time as such violation shall be
cured  by  Rogers  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  Company.


     ARTICLE  X

     10.01    Disclosure of Information.  It is recognized that Rogers will
have  access  to  certain  confidential  information  of  the  Company and its
affiliates  and  subsidiaries, and that such information constitutes valuable,
special  and  unique  property  of  the  Company  and  its  affiliates  and
subsidiaries.    Rogers  shall  not at any time disclose any such confidential
information  to  any  party for any reason or purpose except as may be made in
the  normal  course  of  business  of  the  Company  or  its  affiliates  and
subsidiaries  and  for  the  Company's  or  its  affiliates'  or subsidiaries'
benefits.

Company or at the Company's direction or for the Company's use or otherwise in
connection  with  Rogers'  employment hereunder, are and shall remain the sole
and  confidential  property of the Company; if the Company requests the return
of such materials at any time during, upon or after the termination of Rogers'
employment,  Rogers  shall  immediately  deliver  the  same  to  the  Company.

Company  shall  be  settled by arbitration in the City of Dallas in accordance
with the laws of the State of Texas by three arbitrators, one of whom shall be
appointed  by  the  Company,  one  by  Rogers,  and the third of whom shall be

rights  accruing  under special circumstances) having the right to vote in the
election  of  directors;  or (c) a person or entity or Group of Persons (other
than  (i)  the  Company  or  (ii)  an  employee  benefit plan sponsored by the
Company)  shall,  as  a  result  of  a  tender  or exchange offer, open market
purchases,  privately  negotiated  purchases  or  otherwise,  have  become the
beneficial  owner  (within  the  meaning  of  Rule  13d-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) of securities of the Company representing 50% or more of
the  combined  voting  power of the then outstanding securities of the Company
ordinarily (and apart from rights accruing under special circumstances) having
the  right to vote in the election of directors; or (d) individuals who, as of
the  date  hereof,  constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any
reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that
any  individual  becoming  a  director  subsequent  to  the  date hereof whose
election,  or  nomination  for  election  by  the  Company's shareholders, was
approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the
Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of
the  Incumbent  Board,  but  excluding,  for this purpose, any such individual
whose  initial  assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or
threatened  election  contest  (as  such  terms  are  used  in  Rule 14a-11 of
Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or other
actual  or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a
Person  other  than  the  Board.


     TERMINATION  BY  EXECUTIVE  FOR  GOOD  REASON

     2.03     Executive may terminate his employment for good reason within
twelve  months  following a Change of Control (the "Good Reason Period").  For
purposes  of this Agreement, "good reason" shall mean, without the Executive's
express written consent, that, following a Change of Control, (i) Executive is
required  to  relocate,  (ii)  Executive  is assigned a diminished position or
diminished responsibilities with the Company, or (iii) Executive's annual base
salary  or  benefits,  as  the  same  may  be increased from time to time, are
reduced.

     NOTICE  AND  DATE  OF  TERMINATION

     2.04     Any  termination  by  the  Company or by Executive shall be
communicated  by  written  notice.    "Date  of  Termination"  means  (i)  if
Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by Executive,
the  date  of receipt of the notice of termination or any later date specified
therein,  as  the case may be, or (ii) if Executive's employment is terminated
by the Company other than for Cause, the Date of Termination shall be the date
on  which  the  Company  notifies  Executive  of  such  termination.

     ARTICLE  III

     OBLIGATIONS  OF  THE  COMPANY  UPON  TERMINATION

     WINDOW  PERIOD;    OTHER  THAN  FOR  CAUSE

     3.01     If the Company terminates Executive's employment other than for
Cause or Executive terminates employment during the Window Period or Executive
terminates  his  employment for good reason during the Good Reason period, the
Company  shall  pay to Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days
after the Date of Termination an amount equal to:  (a) three (3) multiplied by
(b)  the sum of (i) Executive's then current annual salary (provided that such
salary  shall  be deemed to be no lower than Executive's highest salary during
any one of the immediately preceding three fiscal years) plus (ii) the highest
amount  of  bonus  and any other cash compensation (except salary) received by
Executive  during any one of the immediately preceding three (3) fiscal years.


     OUTSIDE  THE  WINDOW  PERIOD;  FOR  CAUSE

     3.02     If (a) Executive terminates employment outside of the Window
Period  without  good  reason, (b) Executive's employment is terminated by the
Company  for  Cause,  (c) Executive terminates his employment outside the Good
Reason  Period,  or  (d)  Executive's employment is terminated due to death or
disability  (as  defined  in  the  Company's  long-term disability plan), this
Agreement  shall terminate without further obligations to Executive other than
the  obligation  to  pay  to Executive, within thirty (30) days of the Date of
Termination,  salary  plus  accrued  bonus  and  other  benefits due Executive
through  the Date of Termination and the amount of any compensation previously
deferred  by  Executive,  in  each  case  to  the  extent  theretofore unpaid.


     NOT  A  PENALTY  OR  FORFEITURE

     3.03     The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any payment under
this  Agreement is not a penalty or a forfeiture; rather, the amount specified
is a reasonable and fair reflection of damages that Executive may incur in the
event  of  Executive's  termination.


     TAX  LIMITATION

     3.04(a)  If any payment received or to be received by Executive in
connection  with  a  Change  in  Control  of  the  Company  or  termination of
Executive's  employment  (whether  payable  pursuant  to  the  terms  of  this
Agreement  or  any other plan, arrangement, or agreement with the Company, any
person  whose  actions  result  in  a Change in Control of the Company, or any
person  affiliated  with  the  Company or such person (the "Total Payments")),
would  be  subject  to  the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal
Revenue  Code,  the  Company  will  pay  to  Executive,  within 30 days of any
payments  giving  rise  to  excise  tax,  an  additional amount (the "gross-up
payment")  such  that  the net amount retained or to be retained by Executive,
after  deduction  of  any excise tax on the total payments and any federal and
state and local income tax and excise tax on the gross-up payment provided for
by  this  section,  will  equal  the  total  payments.

     3.04(b)  For  purposes  of determining the amount of the gross-up
payment,  Executive  will be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest
marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year that the payment
is  to  be made, and state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rate
of taxation in the state and locality of the executive's residence on the date
of  termination or the date that excise tax is withheld by the Company, net of
the  maximum  reduction  in  federal  income  taxes  that could be obtained by
deducting  such  state  and  local  taxes.

     3.04(c)  For purposes of determining whether any of the total payments
would not be deductible by the Company and would be subject to the excise tax,
and  the  amount  of  such  excise  tax, (i) total payments will be treated as
"parachute  payments" within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal
Revenue  Code,  and all parachute payments in excess of the base amount within
the meaning of Section 280G(b)(3) will be treated as subject to the excise tax
unless,  in  the  opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company's independent
auditors and acceptable to Executive such total payments (in whole or in part)
are  not  parachute payments, or such parachute payments in excess of the base
amount  (in whole or in part) are otherwise not subject to the excise tax, and
(ii)  the  value  of  any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit
will  be  determined  by the Company's independent auditors in accordance with
Sections  280G(d)(3)  and  (4)  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code.


     ARTICLE  IV

     TERM

     4.01     The term (the "Term") of this Agreement shall commence on the date
of this Agreement as set forth above (the "Effective Date") and shall continue
through June 30, 2002.  During each fiscal year of the Company, beginning with
the  fiscal  year  ending  in  June, 1998, the Board may extend the Term by an
additional year, by adopting an appropriate resolution which expressly extends
the Term for such additional year but without the need to execute an amendment
to  this  Agreement.

     ARTICLE  V

     NONCOMPETE,  ETC.

     TRADE  SECRETS  AND  NONCOMPETITION


5.01(a)       Trade Secrets.  During his employment by the Company and at all
     times  thereafter,  Executive  shall not use for his personal benefit, or
disclose, communicate or divulge to, or use for the direct or indirect benefit
of  any  person,  firm,  association or company other than  the Company or any
affiliate  or subsidiary of the Company, any material referred to in Paragraph
5.02(a)  or  (b)  or  any information regarding the business methods, business
policies, procedures, techniques, research or development projects or results,
trade    secrets  or  other  knowledge  or  processes  of a proprietary nature
belonging  to,  or  developed  by,  the  Company  or  any  other  confidential
information  relating to or dealing with the business operations or activities
of  the  Company  or any affiliate or subsidiary of the Company, made known to
Executive  or  learned  or  acquired  by  Executive while in the employ of the
Company.

     5.01(b)  Non-Competition.  In the event that Executive receives
payment  from  the  Company  pursuant  to  Paragraph  3.01  of this Agreement,
Executive  shall  not  become employed by, consult with or otherwise assist in
any  manner  any  company  (or  any affiliate thereof) the primary business of
which  involves  or  relates  to  the  sale of pizza in the continental United
States  for  a period of years equal to the number by which Executive's annual
salary  and  bonus  is  multiplied  pursuant  to  Paragraph  3.01(a).

     5.01(c)  Remedies.  Executive acknowledges that the restrictions
contained in the foregoing Paragraphs 5.01(a) and (b) (the "Restrictions"), in
view of the nature of the business in which the Company and its affiliates and
subsidiaries are engaged, are reasonable and necessary in order to protect the
legitimate  interests  of the Company and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and
that  any violation thereof would result in irreparable injury to the Company,
and  Executive  therefore  further  acknowledges  that, in the event Executive
violates,  or threatens to violate, any such Restrictions, the Company and its
affiliates  and  subsidiaries  shall  be  entitled to obtain from any court of
competent  jurisdiction,  without  the  posting of any bond or other security,
preliminary  and  permanent  injunctive  relief  as  well  as  damages  and an
equitable  accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from
such  violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other
rights  or  remedies in law or equity to which the Company or any affiliate or
subsidiary  of  the  Company  may  be  entitled.

     5.01(d)  Invalid  Provisions.   If any Restriction, or any part
thereof,  is  determined  in  any  judicial or administrative proceeding to be
invalid  or unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictions shall not thereby
be  affected  and  shall  be  given full effect, without regard to the invalid
provisions.

     5.01(e)  Judicial Reformation.  If the period of time or the area
specified  in the Restrictions should be adjudged unreasonable in any judicial
or administrative proceeding, then the court or administrative body shall have
the power to reduce the period of time or the area covered and, in its reduced
form,  such  provision  shall  then  be  enforceable  and  shall  be enforced.

     5.01(f)  Tolling.    If Executive violates any of the
Restrictions,  the restrictive period shall not run in favor of Executive from
the  time  of  the  commencement of any such violation until such time as such
violation  shall  be  cured  by  Executive to the satisfaction of the Company.

     PROPRIETARY  INFORMATION

     5.02(a)  Disclosure of Information.  It is recognized that Executive
will  have  access  to certain confidential information of the Company and its
affiliates  and  subsidiaries, and that such information constitutes valuable,
special  and  unique  property  of  the  Company  and  its  affiliates  and
subsidiaries.   Executive shall not at any time disclose any such confidential
information  to  any  party for any reason or purpose except as may be made in
the  normal  course  of  business  of  the  Company  or  its  affiliates  and
subsidiaries  and  for  the  Company's  or  its  affiliates'  or subsidiaries'
benefits.

     5.02(b)  Return of Information.  All advertising, sales and other
materials  or  articles  of  information,  including  without  limitation data
processing  reports,  invoices,  or  any  other  materials or data of any kind
furnished  to  Executive by the Company or developed by Executive on behalf of
the  Company  or  at  the  Company's  direction  or  for  the Company's use or
otherwise  in  connection  with Executive' employment hereunder, are and shall
remain  the  sole  and  confidential  property  of the Company; if the Company
requests  the  return  of such materials at any time during, upon or after the
termination of Executive's employment, Executive shall immediately deliver the
same  to  the  Company.


     ARTICLE  VI

     TITLE  AND  AUTHORITY

     6.01     In performing such duties hereunder, Executive shall give the
Company  the  benefit  of his special knowledge, skills, contacts and business
experience and shall devote substantially all of his business time, attention,
ability  and  energy exclusively to the business of the Company.  It is agreed
that  Executive  may  have other business investments and participate in other
business  ventures which may, from time to time, require minor portions of his
time,  but  which  shall  not  interfere  or  be  inconsistent with his duties
hereunder.

     ARTICLE  VII

     ARBITRATION

     7.01     Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this
Agreement  or  the  breach thereof of Executive's employment relationship with

accordance  with  the  laws of the State of Texas by three arbitrators, one of
whom  shall  be  appointed  by the Company, one by Executive, and the third of
whom  shall  be  appointed  by  the  first  two arbitrators.  If the first two
arbitrators  cannot  agree  on the appointment of a third arbitrator, then the
third  arbitrator  shall  be appointed by the Chief Judge of the United States
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.  The arbitration shall be conducted in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except with
respect  to  the  selection  of arbitrators which shall be as provided in this
