1. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 19, 1997, Noble Roman's, Inc. ("Noble Roman's" or the
"Company") entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with
The Provident Bank, its principal lender. The new agreement provides
for the reduction of previously outstanding debt from approximately
$16,900,000 to $11,000,000, cancellation of previously accrued
interest, no interest to be paid or accrued on such debt until
November 1, 1998, interest on such debt of 8% per annum payable
monthly in arrears after November 1, 1998, maturity of the subject
note extended to December, 2001, principal payments on such debt
beginning December 1, 1998 in an amount equal to 50% of excess cash
flow as defined in the agreement, and the cancellation of a previously
issued warrant to purchase 465,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. In addition, the agreement provides for a new loan in the
amount of $2,580,000 due in December, 2000 with interest payable
monthly in arrears at a rate of prime plus 2.5% per annum. These
arrangements were made in consideration for a new warrant to purchase
2,800,000 shares of the Company's common stock with an exercise price
of $.01 per share. Pursuant to entering into the amended and restated
credit facility, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 1,000,000 shares of common stock to certain executive officers,
with an exercise price of $.40 per share.
2. RESTRUCTURING COSTS
During the second quarter of 1997 the Company implemented a plan which
management believes will improve its stores' profitability by
restructuring its operations. This included closing 19 restaurants and
selling four others to a franchisee pursuant to a franchise agreement.
The Company currently owns 48 full-service restaurants, has 11 full
service franchised restaurants and 45 franchised Express locations.
The decision to close and sell certain restaurants was made because
some of the restaurants were operating at a loss, some were marginally
profitable and others were competing in market areas where the Company
operates newer restaurants and where the delivery area and some of the
dine-in market can be serviced by the newer facility. This action has
allowed the Company to consolidate management and supervision in the
remaining restaurants. The Company reported a loss of $5.2 million in
the second quarter of 1997 from this restructuring as a result of
writing off the carrying value of equipment, leasehold improvements,
other assets and accruing for estimated losses and ongoing expenses
relating to those closed restaurants.

During the second quarter of 1997 the Company implemented a plan which
management believes will improve its stores' profitability by restructuring
its operations. This included closing 19 restaurants and selling four others
to a franchisee pursuant to a franchise agreement. The Company currently owns
48 full-service restaurants, has 11 full service franchised restaurants and 45
franchised Express locations. The decision to close and sell certain
restaurants was made because some of the restaurants were operating at a loss,
some were marginally profitable and others were competing in market areas

also allowed the Company to consolidate management and supervision in the

restructuring as a result of writing off the carrying value of equipment,
leasehold improvements, other assets and accruing for estimated losses and
ongoing expenses relating to those closed restaurants.

<PAGE>
Total revenue decreased $5.7 million, or 22.2%, and $2.5 million, or 29.7%,
for the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 1997,
respectively, compared to corresponding periods in 1996. The principal reason
for the decrease was the closing of 19 restaurants in the second quarter of
1997 and the sale of four others to a franchisee. In addition, the decreases
were partially the result of same store sales declines which were 8.7% and
11.5% for the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 1997,
respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 1996. The Company
continues to market its Express concept whereby franchisees operate a Noble
Roman's Pizza Express operation in non-traditional restaurant locations
including convenience stores, other retail outlets, schools and recreational
facilities. The Company currently has 45 Pizza Express franchised locations.
Royalties and fees from the Express operations were $242,900 and $140,100 for
the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 1997 compared to
none in 1996.
Cost of revenue as a percentage of restaurant revenue increased from 19.1% and
17.9% to 21.1% and 22.5% for the nine-month and three-month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. These increases were primarily the
result of a change in method of recording many of the specials at net sales
price rather than gross sales plus discounts and higher discounts to the menu
price in an effort to rebuild customer count.
Salaries and wages increased as a percentage of restaurant revenue from 32.7%
and 33.1% to 36.5% and 36.0% for the nine-month and three-month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. These increases were the result of
additional staffing to accommodate increased customer count from a discount
promotion, same store sales declines, inefficiencies in scheduling as a result
of inexperienced store level management, and a more competitive labor market
resulting in higher average wage rates.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased
from 7.1% and 7.3% to 10.5% and 10.6% for the nine-month and three-month
periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. This increase was
primarily attributable to additional supervision cost in the first quarter and
to the decline in total revenue in the second and third quarters. As a result
of the restructuring plan, the Company has reduced its general and
administrative expenses.
Operating income (loss) decreased from a loss of $961,200 and a loss of
$10,500 to a loss of $6.7 million and $374,400 during the nine-month and
three-month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The
primary reason for greater loss in 1997 was the restructuring cost of $5.2
million recorded in the second quarter.
Interest and other expense decreased from $1.2 million to $880,000 and
decreased from $437,000 to $81,000 for the nine-month and three-month periods
ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Interest expense has not
been accrued for a portion of 1997 because the interest was forgiven as a part
of the financial restructuring discussed below under "Liquidity and Capital
Resources."
Net income (loss) decreased from losses of $1.5 million and $290,600 to $5.0
million and $299,627 during the nine-month and three-month periods ended
September 30, 1997, respectively. The increase in the net loss was primarily
the result of the restructuring costs recorded in the second quarter of 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Historically, the Company's principal capital requirements arose from the
costs associated with the development and opening of new restaurants and
refurbishment of existing restaurants, however, no new restaurants have been
opened in 1997. The Company's primary sources of working capital are cash
flow from operations and borrowings under a credit facility.
On March 25, 1996, the Company signed a Letter of Intent whereby it would have
acquired Papa Gino's Holdings Corp. (a 180 unit pizza restaurant chain in
seven northeastern states) through a merger transaction whereby the
stockholders of Papa Gino's Holding Corp. would have received approximately
2.25 million shares of a to-be-authorized class of non-voting common stock of
the Company. Among other things, this transaction was conditioned on a public
equity offering, implementation of a senior credit facility, a definitive
agreement and shareholder approval. Because of delays and uncertainties in
negotiating a definitive agreement, the Company and Papa Gino's mutually
agreed to terminate the Letter of Intent on June 10, 1996. The expenses
incurred with regard to the proposed acquisition and offering aggregated
approximately $880,862. In addition, deterioration in operating controls
during this effort as a result of senior management's focus on that activity
created a severe shortage of working capital.
From March, 1995 through June, 1996 the Company's senior management had to
focus almost all of its time on arranging for financing and the unsuccessful
attempted acquisition of a 180 unit regional pizza restaurant chain operating
in seven northeastern states. As a result, the Company's current operations
severely deteriorated resulting in personnel turnover, poor service and
difficulties with operational standards and controls.
Management has sought to improve operations with the ongoing addition of new
management and supervisory personnel, extensive training, the implementation
of better controls and the restructuring plan completed in the second quarter
of 1997 which included closing and selling a portion of its restaurants and
concentrating its efforts and management personnel on the remaining
restaurants. In addition, the Company began franchising Noble Roman's Pizza
Express in December, 1996 and by year-end 1997 expects to have approximately
50 units in operation. Based upon market reaction to date, the Company
believes that its Pizza Express concept offers significant growth potential in
1998. The Company earns approximately $5,500 in fees and commissions for each
new unit opened and also receives weekly royalty payments equal to 7% of sales
generated by each unit open.
On November 19, 1997, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit
agreement with The Provident Bank, its principal lender. The new agreement
provides for the reduction of previously outstanding debt from approximately
$16.9 million to $11 million, cancellation of previously accrued interest, no
interest to be paid or accrued on such debt until November 1, 1998, interest
on such debt of 8% per annum payable monthly in arrears after November 1,
1998, maturity of the subject note extended to December, 2001, principal
payments on such debt beginning December 1, 1998 in an amount equal to 50% of
excess cash flow as defined in the agreement, and the cancellation of a
previously issued warrant to purchase 465,000 shares of the Company's common
stock. In addition, the agreement provides for a new loan in the amount of
$2.6 million due in December, 2000 with interest payable monthly in arrears at
a rate of prime plus 2.5% per annum. These arrangements were made in
consideration for a new warrant to purchase 2.8 million shares of common stock
with an exercise price of $.01 per share. Pursuant to entering into the
amended and restated credit facility, the Company issued warrants to purchase
an aggregate of 1.0 million shares of common stock to certain executive
officers with an exercise price of $.40 per share. Proceeds from the new loan
were primarily for working capital and existing restaurant upgrades.
Page 9
<PAGE>
Based upon the amendments to the credit agreement, planned improvements in its
existing full-service restaurants and the planned growth in the new franchised
Express business, management believes the Company will generate sufficient
cash flow to meet its obligations and to carry out its current business plan.
Currently, the Company anticipates that its capital requirements in 1998 will
be approximately $500,000 for improvements to its existing full-service
restaurants. The Company also anticipates that most of its growth during 1998
will be generated from franchising of its new Express concept.
