PART I
Item 1. Business

General Development of Business

Piccadilly Cafeterias, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of Louisiana in
1965 and is the successor to various predecessor corporations and partnerships
which operated "Piccadilly" cafeterias beginning with the acquisition of the
first unit in 1944. Except where the context otherwise indicates, the terms
"Company", "Piccadilly", and "Registrant" as used herein refer to Piccadilly
Cafeterias, Inc.

At June 30, 1997, the Company operated 129 cafeterias in 15 states. Of
these, 56 are in suburban malls, 22 are in suburban strip centers, and 51 are
free-standing suburban locations. Up to six new cafeterias are expected to be
opened during the year ending June 30, 1998. The following table sets forth
certain information regarding development of the Company's cafeteria chain
during the five years ended June 30, 1997:

At June 30, 1997 the Company operated seven "Ralph and Kacoo's" seafood
restaurants in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. No additional Ralph &
Kacoo's seafood restaurants are expected to be opened in the year ending June
30, 1998. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the
Company's "Ralph and Kacoo's" seafood restaurant chain during the five years

(A) Excludes restaurants opened or closed during period.


Although the Company's operations are primarily in the southern, southwestern,
and western regions of the United States, the Company does not consider its
growth to be limited to such areas. Piccadilly evaluates numerous potential
expansion locations, focusing on demographic data such as population
densities, population profiles, income levels, traffic counts, as well as
the extent of competition. The number of new cafeterias and restaurants that
the Company can open depends upon its ability to secure appropriate locations,
generate necessary financial resources, and develop personnel for expansion.

Cafeteria and Restaurant Operations

The Company's traditional cafeterias seat from 250 to 450 customers each. During
1997, the Company completed the design of a new cafeteria prototype. The
prototype has approximately 6,000 square feet compared to the Company's 10,000
square feet traditional cafeteria and seats from 165 to 200 customers. This
smaller cafeteria allows the Company to access a broader range of markets. Two
of the three cafeterias opened in fiscal year 1997 used the new prototype
design.

Each cafeteria unit offers a wide variety of food, at reasonable prices, and
with the convenience of cafeteria service, to a diverse luncheon and dinner
clientele. Cafeteria personnel cook and prepare from scratch substantially all
food served. All items are prepared from standardized recipes. Menus are varied
at the discretion of unit management in response to local and seasonal customer
preferences.

Through an agreement with Associated Grocers, Inc., a Baton Rouge-based
association of 235 food stores in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, the Company
has begun placing small cafeterias in grocery stores. The agreement with
Associated Grocers, Inc. allows the Company to rent a portion of the space
within the supermarket. These mini cafeterias, called Piccadilly Express,
feature a scaled-down version of the cafeteria serving counter and feature many
of the Company's most popular items that are prepared on-site. This initiative
focuses on the take-out segment of the Company's business by providing home meal
solutions through convenient customer alternatives while leveraging the high
traffic flow of grocery stores. Some seating capacity is provided within the
Piccadilly Express when space is available.

Like most industry participants, the Company purchases foodstuffs in small
quantities from local and regional suppliers in order to better assure
freshness. As a result, inventory is kept relatively low; average per-
cafeteria-inventory at June 30, 1997 was $15,500.

Ralph & Kacoo's restaurants seat from 250 to 600 customers each. These
restaurants are full-service menu facilities. All of the food served is cooked
and prepared by the restaurant staff from standardized recipes. Substantially
all of the food, supplies, and other materials required for the preparation of
meals are supplied by the Company-owned commissary.

The commissary, located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, contains approximately 26,500
square feet of restaurant food and supplies storage. Seafood accounts for
approximately 50% of inventory at the commissary. In order to provide
consistent quality, selection, and price throughout the year, the commissary
purchases in-season seafood in quantities sufficient to supply the restaurants
during periods when such products would otherwise not be available at reasonable
prices in the marketplace. On the average, seafood inventory turns
approximately once every four months. Inventory maintained at the commissary at
June 30, 1997, was approximately $2,575,000 while the average "Ralph and
Kacoo's" restaurant inventory level at year-end was approximately $43,800. The
commissary is not dependent upon a single supplier nor a small group of
suppliers.

Each cafeteria, express unit, and restaurant is operated as a separate unit
under the control of a manager and associate manager who have responsibility for
virtually all aspects of the unit's business, including purchasing, food
preparation, and employee matters. Twelve district managers, under the
supervision of one general manager, and the chief executive officer oversee and
regularly inspect cafeteria operations. Two district managers, under the
supervision of a general manager and the chief executive officer, oversee
restaurant operations. The Company employed approximately 8,200 persons at June
30, 1997, of whom all but 69 corporate headquarters employees worked at
Piccadilly's 139 cafeteria and restaurant locations and its commissary.

The food service industry is highly competitive. Competitive factors include
food quality and variety, price, customer service, location, the number and
proximity of competitors, decor, and public reputation. The Company considers
its principal competitors to be other cafeterias, casual dining venues, and
fast-food operations. Like other food service operations, the Company is
attuned to changes in both consumer preferences for food and habits in
patronizing eating establishments.

Customer volume at established cafeterias and sales volume at established
restaurants are generally higher in the Company's second fiscal quarter and
lower in the third quarter. These patterns reflect the general seasonal
fluctuations of the retail industry.

Cost of sales is affected by statutory minimum wage rates. The Company's
operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations
relating to environmental protection, including regulation of discharges into
the air and water, and relating to safety and labor, including the Federal
Occupational Safety and Health Act and wage and hour laws. Additionally, the
Company's operations are regulated pursuant to state and local sanitation and
public health laws. Operating units utilize electricity and natural gas, which
are subject to various federal and state regulations concerning the allocation
of energy. The Company's operating costs have been and will continue to be
affected by increases in the cost of energy.






Item 2. Properties

All but 23 of the cafeterias, express unit, and restaurants operated by the
Company at June 30, 1997, were operated on premises held under long-term leases
with differing provisions and expiration dates. The 23 cafeterias and
restaurants not operated on premises held under long-term leases are owned.
Leases provide for monthly rentals, typically computed on the basis of a fixed
amount plus a percentage of sales. Most leases contain provisions permitting
the Company to renew for one or more specified terms. These leases are scheduled
to expire, exclusive of renewal provisions, as follows:

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

Reference is made to Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for certain additional information regarding the Company's leases.

All cafeterias, express unit, and restaurants have been constructed or remodeled
since 1992 and all equipment is maintained and modernized as necessary to
maintain appearance and utility. The list below provides a general geographic
review of the locations of the Company's cafeterias and restaurants at June 30,

The Company utilizes generally standardized building configurations for its new
cafeterias and restaurants in terms of seating, food display, preparation areas,
and other factors and attempts to build out floor space to maximize efficient
use of available space.

The Company continues to pursue strategies to increase the capacity and
utilization of its cafeterias. The Company is converting several of its "order
pick-up" counters to Piccadilly Express hot counters where the physical
facilities are condusive to doing so. The new counters allow customers to view
and select their choices rather than simply ordering to go items from a menu.
This delivery system increases the number of take-out orders that can be filled
at peak order times.

Piccadilly's corporate headquarters occupy approximately two-thirds of a
Company-owned 45,000 square foot office building completed in 1974 and located
on a Company-owned tract comprising approximately five acres in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana. The remainder of the building is leased to commercial tenants.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company is not a party to and does not have any property that is the subject
of any legal proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of management, threatened,
other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business and
proceedings which are material or as to which management believes the Company
does not have adequate insurance.
