                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  
(1) - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         Film Roman, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), currently
conducts all of its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary Film Roman,
Inc., a California corporation ("Film Roman California").  The accompanying
unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal
recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Company as of June 30, 1997 and the results of its operations for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1997, and the cash flows for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1997 have been included.  The results of operations for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be
realized for the full year.  For further information, refer to the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

(2) - NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

         For the three months and the six months ended June 30, 1996, per share
data is based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding during the period, and is calculated in accordance with a
Staff Accounting Bulletin of the Securities and Exchange Commission whereby
common and common share equivalents issued within a 12-month period prior to an
initial public offering are treated as outstanding for all periods presented if
the issue price was less than the proposed initial public offering price. In
addition, shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants and
convertible preferred stock within the 12-month period are considered to have
been outstanding since inception of the Company. For the three months and the
six months ended June 30, 1996, the net loss per common share gives effect to
the accretion of the difference between the carrying value and the liquidation
value of the Class A Redeemable Preferred Stock of $242,414, and $484,828
respectively, and to the accrual of dividends of $240,000 and $480,000
respectively, on the Class A Redeemable Preferred Stock.

         For the three months and the six months ended June 30, 1997, the per
share data is based on the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares,
consisting of outstanding stock options, are not included since they are
antidilutive.

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS
No. 128"), which is effective for annual and interim financial statements issued
for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and early adoption is not permitted.
When adopted, the Statement will require restatement of prior years' earning
per share ("EPS"). SFAS No. 128 was issued to simplify the standards for
calculating EPS previously in APB No. 15, Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128
replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. The
new rules also require dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of
the statement of operations for companies with a complex capital structure. For
the Company, basic EPS will exclude the dilutive effects of stock options and
warrants. Diluted EPS for the Company will reflect all potential dilutive
securities. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic and diluted EPS would
have been the same for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1997 as the reported amounts for such periods.

(4) - BLUES BROTHERS:  THE ANIMATED SERIES

     Following discussions between the Company and United Paramount Network
regarding certain creative aspects of the Company's proprietary production of
Blues Brothers:  The Animated Series for the 1997-98 season, the Company put
production into hiatus in March 1997.  The Company is continuing to re-evaluate
various elements of the project, is seeking a possible new financial partner for
the production, and may or may not be successful in ultimately recovering its
investment, which amounted to approximately $5.5 million at June 30, 1997.  In
the event the Company determines that all or a portion of its investment is not
recoverable, it will write off the appropriate amount.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Such forward-looking statements
relate to, among other things, the Company's future production and delivery
schedule (including the number of episodes of programming to be produced and
delivered in 1997 and 1998); production fees, services and costs; and liquidity.
These forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company's current
expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including
without limitation, those described under the caption "Risks Related to the
Business" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996.  Actual results could differ materially from these forward-
looking statements.


GENERAL

     The Company creates, develops, produces and distributes high quality,
family-oriented animated television programming.  Historically, the Company has
produced substantially all of its programming for third parties on a "fee-for-
services" basis.  Fees paid to the Company for these production services
generally range from $300,000 to $600,000 per episode and typically cover all
direct production costs plus a profit margin.  The Company has begun to produce
programming for which it controls some of the "proprietary rights" associated
with such programming (including, for example, international distribution and
licensing and merchandising rights).  Fees paid to the Company for these
production services typically do not cover all direct production costs.
Generally, the Company seeks to cover at least 50% of its production costs prior
to production of its proprietary programs and seeks to cover the remaining
production costs through the exploitation of the proprietary rights associated
with these programs.  As a result, the Company may recognize revenue associated
with its proprietary programming over a period of years.

     The Company produces a limited number of television series in any year and
is substantially dependent on revenues from licensing these programs to
broadcasters.  The Company's future performance will be affected by issues
facing all producers of animated programming, including risks related to the
limited number of time slots allocated to children's and/or animated television
programming, the intense competition for those time slots, the limited access to
distribution channels (particularly for programs produced by independent
studios), the declining license fees paid to producers of programming by
broadcasters and the regulations implemented by the Federal Communications
Commission governing program content.  While the Company seeks to limit its
financial risk associated with its proprietary programming by obtaining
commitments prior to production to cover at least 50% of its direct production
costs, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to cover the
balance of its production costs and overhead costs relating to production,
licensing and distribution through the exploitation of its proprietary rights.
As a result of the foregoing risks, there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to generate revenues that exceed its costs.

1997 AND 1998 PRODUCTION AND DELIVERIES

     The Company has completed production of substantially all of the 159
episodes of programming that it committed to produce and deliver for the 1996-97
broadcast season.  The Company has begun production of 56 episodes of fee-for-
services programming which are currently scheduled to air during the 1997-98
season.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had no commitments to produce or
deliver any new episodes of proprietary programming for the 1997-98 season.

     The Company presently expects to deliver approximately 66 episodes of
programming in 1997.  Of these 66 episodes, 31 are fee-for-services programs for
airing during the 1996-97 season, 10 are proprietary 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
programs, also airing during the 1996-97 season, and the remaining 25 are fee-
for-services programs which are currently scheduled to air during the 1997-98
season. Some of the 25 episodes for the 1997-98 season which are currently
expected to be delivered in 1997 may be delivered in 1998. Similarly, some of
the episodes for the 1997-98 season which the Company presently expects to
deliver in 1998 may be delivered in 1997. The estimated delivery of 66 episodes
in 1997 represents a decrease of 75 episodes (or 53%) from the number of
episodes delivered in 1996.


BLUES BROTHERS:  THE ANIMATED SERIES

     Following discussions between the Company and United Paramount Network
regarding certain creative aspects of the Company's proprietary production of
Blues Brothers:  The Animated Series for the 1997-98 season, the Company put
production into hiatus in March 1997.  Accordingly, none of the episodes of
Blues Brothers:  The Animated Series are included in any of the production or
delivery estimates described above under "-1997 and 1998 Production and
Deliveries."  The Company is continuing to re-evaluate various elements of the
project, is seeking a possible new financial partner for the production, and may
or may not be successful in ultimately recovering its investment, which amounted
to approximately $5.5 million at June 30, 1997.  In the event the Company
determines that all or a portion of its investment is not recoverable, it will
write off the appropriate amount.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

     Total revenue increased by 14%, or $0.8 million, to $7.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, from $6.3 million for the comparable period in
the prior year.  Total revenue increased primarily as a result of the delivery
of 10 episodes of programming during the 1997 period compared to the five
episodes delivered during the 1996 period.
 
     The Company delivered 10 "fee-for-services" episodes during the three
months ended June 30, 1997, compared with five episodes in the comparable period
in 1996.  Fee-for-services revenue increased 107%, or $2.9 million, to $5.6
million from $2.7 million during the respective periods.

     The Company delivered no "proprietary" episodes during either of the three-
month periods ended June 30, 1997 or 1996.  "Proprietary revenue" consists of
revenue derived from the U.S. license fees paid upon the initial delivery of a
new episode of proprietary programming to a U.S. broadcaster and from the
exploitation of the proprietary rights (e.g., merchandising, licensing and/or
international distribution rights) associated with the proprietary episodes in
the Company's library that were initially delivered in prior periods.
Proprietary revenue from the exploitation of the proprietary rights associated
with the programs in the Company's library decreased by $0.2 million to $0.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $0.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1996.

     Other revenue decreased by approximately $1.9 million during the three
months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period of the prior year, due
primarily to a $1.2 million decrease in revenue generated by the Company's
participation in net profits from certain of its fee-for-services series as well
as a $0.6 million decrease in revenue from commercials and specials.

     Total cost of revenue increased by 8%, or $0.5 million, to $6.3 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1997, from $5.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1996.  Total cost of revenue, as a percentage of sales, decreased
by 5% to 88% for the three months ended June 30, 1997, as compared to 93% for
the three months ended June 30, 1996, primarily due to improved margins on fee-
for-services episodes 

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
and the fact that fee-for-services revenue and costs represented a significantly
larger component of both total revenue and costs during the 1997 period.

     Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 increased by $0.4 million to $1.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 from $0.7 million for the comparable period in 1996,
due primarily to increased professional fees and ongoing costs of operating a
public company.

     Operating loss remained constant at $0.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1997, as compared to the comparable period in 1996.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.

     Total revenue increased by 40%, or $5.5 million, to $19.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1997, from $13.7 million for the comparable period in
the prior year.  Total revenue increased primarily as a result of the delivery
of 37 episodes of programming during the 1997 period compared to the 17 episodes
delivered during the 1996 period.
 
     The Company delivered 27 "fee-for-services" episodes during the six months
ended June 30, 1997, compared to 14 episodes in the comparable period in 1996.
Fee-for-services revenue increased 93%, or $7.0 million, to $14.5 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, from $7.5 million during the comparable
period in 1996.

     The Company delivered 10 "proprietary" episodes during the six months ended
June 30, 1997  compared to three episodes delivered during the comparable period
for 1996.  The increase in the number of proprietary episodes delivered resulted
in a revenue increase of  approximately $0.9 million.  The episodes delivered in
the 1997 period were syndicated programs that generated a lower license fee per
episode than the episodes delivered to a major network in the 1996 period.  This
revenue increase was offset by a $1.2 million decrease in revenue from the
exploitation of the proprietary rights associated with the programs in the
Company's library, resulting in a net decrease of $0.3 million in total
proprietary revenue.
 
     Other revenue decreased by approximately $1.2 million during the six months
ended June 30, 1997, as compared to the same period of the prior year, due
primarily to a combined decrease of approximately $2.3 million in revenue
generated by the Company's participation in net profits from certain of its fee-
for-services series and revenue from commercials and specials.  This decrease
was offset by an increase in revenue of approximately $1.2 million from the
creative services division and the Company's interactive unit, which ceased
production beginning in the first quarter of 1997.

     Total cost of revenue increased by 39%, or $5.0 million, to $17.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997, from $12.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1996.  Total cost of revenue, as a percentage of sales, remained
fairly consistent for the two periods.

     Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 increased by $0.6 million to $2.2 million from $1.6 million for
the comparable period in 1996, due primarily to increased professional fees and
ongoing costs of operating a public company.

     Operating loss was $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, as
compared to a loss of $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

                                      10

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Greater capital resources are required for the Company to develop and
produce proprietary programs, retain the proprietary rights associated with such
programs, and increase it presence in the licensing and merchandising and
international distribution markets. The Company seeks to limit the financial
risk associated with its proprietary programming by obtaining commitments prior
to production to cover at least 50% of its direct production costs, but the
Company must utilize its own funds to cover remaining production costs and
overhead costs relating to production, licensing and distribution. The Company
seeks to cover the remaining production costs through the exploitation of the
proprietary rights associated with the programs in its library (e.g.,
merchandising, licensing and/or international distribution rights).
Historically, in the fourth quarter, and to a lesser extent the third quarter,
cash used in operations typically exceeded cash generated by operations as
completed shows were delivered to broadcasters. However, the Company has begun
to exploit, to a greater extent, the international distribution rights
associated with the proprietary programs in its library. As a result, the
Company expects that cash used in or provided by operations will fluctuate
greatly from quarter to quarter, due in part, to the international sales and
collections cycle related to the programs in its library.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1997, net cash provided by operating
activities was approximately $1.4 million due to new international sales of the
Company's proprietary shows as well as a decrease in accounts receivable, offset
by cash used in connection with film production activities and fluctuations in
other operating assets and liabilities.
 
     The Company is seeking to obtain a new bank facility in the principal
amount of approximately $3.0 to $5.0 million.  There can be no assurance that it
will be able to obtain a new bank facility on terms that are satisfactory to the
Company.  Management believes that the Company's cash and cash equivalents and
anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund the Company's
operating requirements for at least the next year, whether or not the Company
enters into a new bank facility.
