                     WOODROAST SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                              SEPTEMBER  28, 1997

                                  (UNAUDITED)


(1) BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.  Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these
interim consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with
the Company's most recent audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended December 29, 1996.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for
the interim periods presented have been made. Operating results for the periods
ended September 28, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the fiscal year ending December 28, 1997.

(2)   LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Primary and fully diluted loss per common share are determined by dividing net
loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each
period.  Primary and fully diluted loss per share are the same.

The Company will adopt in the fiscal year ending December 28, 1997, Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings per Share" (SFAS No. 128),
which was issued in February 1997.  SFAS No. 128 requires disclosures of the
basic earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS, which replaces the existing
primary EPS and fully diluted EPS, as defined by APB No. 15.  Basic EPS is
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding during the year.  Dilutive EPS is computed similar to
EPS as previously reported provided that, when applying the treasury stock
method to common equivalent shares, the Company must use its average share
price for the period rather than the more dilutive greater of the average share
price or end-of-period share price required by APB No. 15.

(3)   CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS

The Company maintains separate Construction in Progress and Construction in
Progress Payable accounts to reconcile all contractual agreements relating to
new site development.


(4) LONG-TERM DEBT

In November 1995, the Company completed a private placement of $1,000,000 in
principal amount of Secured Promissory Notes (the Notes) (including $700,000 to
Company stockholders) and received net proceeds of $943,252.  The Notes are
secured by substantially all Company assets and bear interest at 15%, payable
quarterly.  In addition, the holders of the Notes received warrants to purchase
an aggregate of 200,016 shares of the Company's common stock at $.0033 per
share, of which 170,008 were exercised in 1996.  The remaining warrants are
exercisable through May 31, 2000.  On the date of issuance, the Warrants had a
total value of $299,333 based on the then market price of the Company's common
stock.  The discount created by the issuance costs and warrants is being
amortized over the life of the Notes using the interest method.  The
approximate effective annual interest rate of the Notes is 20%.  The Notes
require repayment of principal over an eight-year period beginning August 1998.
Current maturities of the Notes are $27,916 in fiscal year 1998, $74,518 in
fiscal year 1999, $86,497 in fiscal year 2000, $100,401 in fiscal year 2001 and
$710,668 thereafter.

                                  (UNAUDITED)


(5) INCOME TAXES

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes", under which deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the differences between financial and income tax
reporting basis of assets and liabilities based on currently enacted rates and
laws.  The Company has incurred cumulative net operating losses for both
financial reporting and income tax purposes.  As of September 28, 1997, the
Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4,300,000,
which, if not used, will begin to expire in 2010.  Future changes in the
ownership of the Company may place limitations on the use of these net
operating loss carryforwards.  The Company has recorded a full valuation
allowance against the net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of
realizing the related benefits.

(6) STOCK OPTIONS

STOCK OPTION PLAN - The Company has a Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), pursuant
to which options and other awards to acquire an aggregate of 750,000 shares of
the Company's common stock may be granted.  Stock options, stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock, other stock and cash awards may be granted under the
Plan.  The Plan is administered by a stock option committee which has the
discretion to determine the number and purchase price of the shares subject to
stock options, which may be below the fair market value of the common stock on
the date thereof, the term of each option, and time or times during its term
when the option becomes exercisable.  At September 28, 1997, 417,000 options
had been granted at exercise prices of $0.81 to $5.50 per share, none of which
had been exercised.

(7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LITIGATION - The Company is involved in legal actions in the ordinary course of
its business.  While no reasonable estimates of potential liability can be
determined, management believes such legal actions will be resolved without a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The Company was organized in 1987 to develop Shelly's Original Woodroast
Restaurants.  The Company has two restaurant operations, one located in St.
Louis Park, Minnesota, which opened in 1989 and the other located in Rockville,
Maryland, which opened in November 1995.  The Company also opened its first
stand alone Shelly's Back Room "The American Tavern" operation in
Washington D.C. on June 10, 1997. The Back Room concept is designed to
capitalize on the popular cigar smoking trend in an upscale atmosphere featuring
exceptional food and drink. The concept is a direct result of the Company's
senior management focus to pursue other avenues to generate revenue.  The
primary reasons to pursue the Back Room concept is that these are a simpler
operational structure and requires lower capital investment, which would allow
franchising of this concept.  The Company has begun construction on its second
stand-alone Back Room in Chicago, Illinois, with an anticipated opening in
December 1997. Future expansion of the Shelly's Back Room by the Company will
depend on various factors, including market acceptance of the Back Room
concept, general economic conditions and additional financing. The Company 
also faces all of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently
encountered in connection with the operation, development and franchising of a
new and expanding business. Furthermore, to the extent that the Company's
expansion strategy is successful, the Company must manage the transition to
multiple site operations (both Company-owned and franchise operations), higher
volume operations, the control of overhead expenses and the addition of
necessary personnel.  The Company had losses of $717,857 and $1,776,314 for the
thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended September 28, 1997 and expects
losses to continue for the near future.

The Company uses a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday of December.
Fiscal year 1997 will be a 52 week year.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THIRTEEN WEEKS AND THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 28, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 29, 1996

The restaurant located in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, had net sales for the
thirteen weeks ended September 28, 1997 and September 29, 1996 of  $554,473 and
$553,226, respectively, or a 0.2% increase of $1,247.  Net sales from the St.
Louis Park operation for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 1997 and
September 29, 1996 were $1,829,202 and $1,784,624, respectively, or a 2.5%
increase of $44,578. The St. Louis Park restaurant continues to have guest
counts at or near seating capacity on a daily basis. The restaurant located in
Rockville, Maryland, that opened for business on November 20, 1995, had net
sales for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 1997 and September 29, 1996 of
$720,702 and $790,466, respectively, or a 8.8% decrease of $69,764.  Net sales
from the Rockville operation for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 1997
and September 29, 1996 were $2,487,066 and $2,976,621, respectively, or a 16.4%
decrease of $489,555.  The 16.4% decrease in net sales at the Rockville
restaurant reflects the impact of the grand opening months from early 1996. The
Company continues to implement local marketing programs to increase sales. 
However, no assurance can be given that these efforts will achieve
desired results by year end, if at all.  The Back Room located in Washington
D.C., that opened for business on June 10, 1997, had net sales for the thirteen
weeks ended September 28, 1997 of  $187,492 and net sales for the sixteen weeks
ended September 28, 1997 of $228,630.

The food, beverage and other direct costs related to the operation of the St.
Louis Park, Minnesota, restaurant for the thirteen weeks ended September 28,
1997 and September 29, 1996 were $508,557 and $491,569 respectively, or a 3.5%
increase of $16,988.  The food, beverage and other direct costs related to the
operation of the St. Louis Park restaurant for the thirty-nine weeks ended
September 28, 1997 and September 29, 1996 were $1,611,736 and $1,577,535,
respectively, or a 2.2% increase of $34,201.   The food, beverage and other
direct costs related to the operation of the Rockville, Maryland, restaurant
for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 1997 and September 29, 1996 were
$728,733 and $773,564, respectively, or a 5.7% decrease of $44,831.  The food,
beverage and other direct costs related to the operation of the Rockville
restaurant for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 1997 and September 29,
1996 were $2,428,696 and $2,905,847, respectively, or a 16.4% decrease of
$477,151.  The Company continues to address ongoing cost and expense issues at
both restaurant locations.   However, no assurance can be given that these
efforts will achieve desired results by year end, if at all.  The food,
beverage and other direct costs related to the operation of the Back Room in
Washington D.C. for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 1997 were $233,509
and for the sixteen weeks ended September 28, 1997 were $294,696.  Due to this
being the first full quarter of operations, with expanded hours of operation to
include breakfast and an abundance of wait staff to cover an ongoing assessment
of what will be necessary in this downtown business district, labor costs,
fixed rent costs and public relations costs were above normal during this start
up period.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                       AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (CONT.)


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (cont.)

The Company's executive and administrative office located in Eden Prairie,
Minnesota had other expenses, consisting of general and administrative expenses,
interest income, interest expense, other income and development expenses which
were $519,704 for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 1997 compared to
$364,527 for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 1996.  This is an increase
of $155,177 or a 42.6% increase.  Other expenses for the thirty-nine weeks ended
September 28, 1997 and September 29, 1996 were $1,557,844 and $1,047,469,
respectively, or a 48.7% increase of $510,375.  These increases are attributable
primarily to the Company's ongoing building of a corporate management team and
facility to lead the Company into its new focus on the Back Room concept.  The
Company is seeking additional senior management personnel as well as support
staff, which will also have an associated impact on future earnings.  The
Company expects to continue to incur operating losses during 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the past two fiscal years, the Company's capital requirements have been
met principally through the public and private sale of debt and equity
securities.  In June 1994, the Company completed an Initial Public Offering of
750,000 units consisting of 750,000 shares of Common Stock, and 750,000
Redeemable Class A Warrants at an offering price of $5.50 per unit and received
net proceeds of approximately $3,360,000 after approximately $765,000 in
offering costs and underwriting discounts.  Such net proceeds had been fully
utilized by December 31, 1995, for the development and opening  of the
Rockville restaurant, and for the reduction of debt and trade payables.

The Company had working capital of $109,772 at September 28, 1997, compared to
working capital of $2,996,568 at December 29, 1996.  Cash, cash equivalents and
available-for-sale securities were $607,320 at September 28, 1997, representing
a decrease of $3,065,093 from $3,672,413 at December 29, 1996.  This decrease
is attributable to the payments relating to the development and construction of
the Washington D.C. Shelly's Back Room, the Chicago Shelly's Back Room and the
Company's additions necessary to its management team and corporate office
facility.

In November 1995, the Company completed a private placement of Units consisting
of $1,000,000 in principal amount of 15% Secured Promissory Notes (the Notes)
and warrants (the Warrants) to purchase an aggregate 200,016 shares of Common
Stock.  The Notes are secured by a senior interest in substantially all assets
owned by the Company and its subsidiary.  Property leased by the Company and
its subsidiary, including real estate and certain equipment, is not included in
the security interest.  A total of 170,008  of the Warrants were exercised in
1996.

In March and April 1996, the Company sold 625,000 shares of its Common Stock in
a private placement for $2.25 per share, and received net proceeds of
approximately $1,315,000.   Holders of such shares have certain piggyback
registration rights.  The net proceeds from the private placement of Common
Stock have been used to pay debt and trade payables and to provide working
capital for general corporate purposes.

The Company will require additional financing to implement its expansion plans.
The Company is currently in serious negations to sell the Shelly's Woodroast
Restaurant located in Rockville, Maryland.  If the Company is unsuccessful in
the sale of this restaurant, it will be necessary to raise capital in the debt
or equity markets.  There is no assurance that additional financing will be
available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.  The
Company believes that without the sale of the Rockville unit or additional
financing, a delay in opening the Chicago Shelly's Back Room could occur.
