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, 1995, the Company operated 132 cafeterias in 17
states. Of these, 60 were in suburban malls, 22 were in suburban
strip centers, and 50 were free-standing suburban locations. One new
cafeteria is expected to be opened during the year ending June 30,
1996. The following table sets forth certain information regarding
development of the Company's cafeteria chain during the five years
ended June 30, 1995:

_______________________________________________________________________________
Year Ended June 30 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991
_______________________________________________________________________________
Net sales per unit (in thousands)(A) $1,990 $1,916 $1,868 $1,880 $1,903

Units opened 5 3 1 3 2

Total customer volume (in thousands) 48,274 48,098 50,564 54,298 56,441
__________________

(A) Excludes cafeterias opened or closed during period.
___________________________________

At June 30, 1995 the Company operated eight "Ralph and Kacoo's"
seafood restaurants in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas.
No additional Ralph & Kacoo's seafood restaurants are expected to be
opened in the year ending June 30, 1996. The following table sets
forth certain information regarding the Company's "Ralph and Kacoo's"
seafood restaurant chain during the five years ended June 30, 1995:

(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.
During the year ended June 30, 1995, the Company opened its first
cafeterias in Louisville, Kentucky and Chicago, Illinois. Although,
as disclosed above, the Company has no immediate plans for additional
expansion in 1996, Piccadilly continues to evaluate 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.

Cafeteria and Restaurant Operations

The Company's cafeterias seat from 250 to 450 customers each.
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 food preferences.

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, 1995 was
$16,100. Foodstuffs are typically purchased on 30-day credit terms
and sold for cash within such 30-day period, thereby favorably
affecting cash flow.

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, 1995, was approximately $2,656,000 while the
average "Ralph and Kacoo's" restaurant inventory level at year-end
was approximately $48,000. The commissary is not dependent upon a
single supplier nor a small group of suppliers.

Each cafeteria 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.
Thirteen 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 region manager and the chief executive officer,
oversee restaurant operations. The Company employed approximately
7,600 persons at June 30, 1995, of whom all but 69 corporate
headquarters employees worked at Piccadilly's 140 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 24 of the cafeterias and restaurants operated by the
Company at June 30, 1995, were operated on premises held under long-
term leases with differing provisions and expiration dates. The 24
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:

Financial Statements for certain additional information regarding the
Company's leases.

All cafeterias and restaurants have been constructed or
remodeled since 1984 and all cafeteria equipment is maintained and
modernized as necessary to maintain appearance and utility. For a
discussion of the Company's current remodeling program see
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations on pages four and five of the Annual
Shareholders Report for the year ended June 30, 1995. The list below
provides a general geographic review of the locations of the

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. Although most of the
Company's cafeterias are single-line, 33 of the Company's cafeterias
are double-line which provide increased capacity at peak hours. The
Company does not currently intend to convert any of its single-line
cafeterias to double-line.

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 not
material or as to which management believes the Company has adequate
insurance.

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