ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General Information
-------------------

Noble Roman's, Inc., an Indiana corporation incorporated in 1972 (the
"Company"), sells and services franchises for non-traditional and co-branded
foodservice operations under the trade names "Noble Roman's Pizza" and
"Tuscano's Italian Style Subs." The concepts' hallmarks include high quality
pizza and sub sandwiches, along with other related menu items, simple operating
systems, labor-minimizing operations, attractive food costs and overall
affordability. Prior to focusing its efforts on franchising for non-traditional
and co-branded foodservice operations, the Company had approximately 25 years'
experience operating full-service pizza restaurants, giving it unique advantages
in the design and consultation of foodservice systems for franchisees. Since
1997, the Company has focused its efforts and resources primarily on franchising
for non-traditional and co-branded locations and now has awarded franchises in
44 states plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, Italy and Canada. Since the
franchises are typically installed in pre-existing, high-traffic commercial,
military, educational and recreational facilities, a typical franchise requires
an investment of approximately $25,000 to $130,000 per franchise per location.
Royalties and fees from franchise operations accounted for 84.9%, 86.1% and
85.8% of total revenue for 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Other financial
information about the Company's business, including revenue, profit and loss,
and total assets, is detailed in Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data.


Products & Systems
------------------

Noble Roman's Pizza
-------------------

Superior quality that our customers can taste - that is the hallmark of Noble
Roman's Pizza. Every ingredient and process has been developed in such a way as
to produce superior results. Here are a few of the differences that make our
product unique:

     o    Crust made with only specially milled flour with above average protein
          and yeast.
     o    Fresh packed, uncondensed sauce made with secret spices, parmesan
          cheese and vine-ripened tomatoes.
     o    100% real cheese blended from mozzarella and muenster, with no soy
          additives or extenders.
     o    100% real meat toppings, again with no additives or extenders - a real
          departure from many pizza concepts.
     o    Vegetable and mushroom toppings that are sliced and delivered fresh,
          never canned.
     o    An extended product line that includes breadsticks with dip, pasta,
          baked sandwiches, salads, wings and a line of breakfast products.
     o    A recently introduced fully-prepared pizza crust that captures the
          made-from-scratch pizzeria flavor which gets delivered to the
          franchise location shelf-stable so that dough handling is no longer an
          impediment to a consistent product.

                                       3
<PAGE>

The Company carefully developed all of its menu items to be delivered in a
ready-to-use form requiring only on-site assembly and baking. These menu items
are manufactured by third party vendors and distributed by unrelated
distributors who deliver throughout all 48 contiguous states. This process
results in products that are great tasting, quality consistent, easy to
assemble, relatively low in food cost and require very low amounts of labor.

The operating systems are also uniquely developed for simplicity of operation
and for minimizing hourly labor requirements and management intensiveness.
Operational layout, product pre-preparation, assembly and baking, and customer
fulfillment were all designed to function efficiently and cost-effectively with
minimal space requirements. Service systems are customizable by franchise venue,
but generally the customers either select from a variety of instantly available
"grab-and-go" products in an attractive countertop kiosk display, or made and
baked-to-order traditional large pizzas with their favorite toppings. Pizzas and
all other menu items have been designed for quick assembly and baking through
stackable conveyor ovens. All menu items can be ready to serve in approximately
five minutes or less utilizing our fully-prepared pizza crust.

A unique feature of the Noble Roman's program is the menu flexibility offered
franchisees. The core package includes such items as 14" large pizzas,
individual sized 7" pizzas and breadsticks with dip. From this core, franchisees
may also select any of the following product extensions: three types of baked
pastas, two flavors of Buffalo wings, three types of hot sandwiches and a
breakfast menu of various biscuit sandwiches, biscuits and gravy and a cinnamon
round.

Tuscano's Italian Style Subs
----------------------------

During 2004, the Company improved its cold sub sandwich menu items and expanded
the offerings into a separate concept called Tuscano's Italian Style Subs.
Tuscano's was designed to be comfortably familiar from a customer's perspective
but with many distinctive features that include an Italian themed menu. The
franchise fee and ongoing royalty for a Tuscano's is identical to that charged
for a Noble Roman's Pizza franchise. To date, franchisees have opened 21
Tuscano's locations, and the Company has awarded 21 additional Tuscano's
franchise agreements to be opened soon. For the most part, the Company expects
to award Tuscano's franchises for the same facilities as Noble Roman's Pizza
franchises, although Tuscano's franchises are also available for locations that
do not have a Noble Roman's Pizza franchise.

Tuscano's was created with special distinction designed into every component key
to the operator, from the delicious food, to the simple to operate systems and
to the productivity of the investment itself. With its Italian theme setting it
apart, Tuscano's offers brand name authority with the marketing power of
distinctiveness. Tuscano's was designed to be comfortably familiar with the
customer. For example, like most other brand name sub concepts, customers select
menu items at the start of the counter line then choose toppings and sauces
according to their preference until they reach the cash out point. Yet Tuscano's
has many distinctive competitive features, including its Tuscan theme, the extra
rich yeast content of its fresh baked bread, the thematic menu selections and
serving options, and the generous yet cost effective quality sauces and spreads.
Tuscano's was designed to be premium quality, simple to operate and cost
effective.

Tuscano's menu offers a wide variety of products with built-in simplicity of
operations and with surprisingly few ingredients. The menu offers any of the
sandwiches with the customer's choice of fresh baked white bread, wheat bread or
a tomato basil wrap and the customer further gets to choose to have the sandwich
either cold or grilled. The customers are offered a wide variety of tastes by
choosing their

                                       4
<PAGE>

choice of meat, their choice of toppings and any of a host of sauces and
spreads. The menu also offers large and appealing Salad Bowls which can be
upgraded to a Salad Supremo by adding on top any of the pre-set sandwich meat
and topping combinations. In addition, the menu offers a delicious soup of the
day which can be chosen from a variety of soups.

Typical Locations & Growth Plans
--------------------------------

Typical non-traditional locations include hospitals, military bases,
universities, recreational facilities, hotels, office buildings, convenience
stores, travel plazas and other types of locations with pre-existing customer
traffic. The Company attempts to co-brand Noble Roman's Pizza and Tuscano's
Italian Style Subs where possible, however, the Company has some other
co-branding relationships with other restaurant chains for both traditional and
non-traditional locations. Co-branding allows the owners of the franchises to
include multiple concepts and menu offerings while utilizing their existing
facility investment and overhead structure. With much of the fixed overhead
required already in place for one concept, a second concept can be added with
the potential of extremely attractive margins on the additional sales it
attracts to the location.

The Company has now awarded over 1,300 franchises since 1997 in 44 states plus
Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, Italy and Canada. In addition to the
pipeline of sold but unopened locations, it is the Company's plan to
aggressively pursue the sale of additional franchises. The Company is currently
involved in ongoing discussions and negotiations involving many additional
franchise locations.

In December 2004, the Company announced its intent to franchise dual branded
Noble Roman's Pizza and Tuscano's Italian Style Subs restaurants in traditional
locations. These dual branded locations have separate menu boards and counter
designs with different appearances for the two concepts but utilize a central
cashier station between the two operations. The benefits of this concept are
significant to the franchisee as rent and other operating expenses are shared by
the two concepts, employees can be cross-trained and some restaurant equipment
can be shared between the two operations. Another benefit is that, historically,
sandwich restaurants do a majority of their business during the lunch hours
while pizza restaurants do a majority of their sales in the evening hours. In
order to develop these traditional restaurants in central Indiana, the Company
entered into a Development Agreement with an independent Development Agent so as
to not divert the efforts of existing development employees from the continued
franchising of non-traditional locations.

Company Strategy
----------------

The Company's focus will remain on aggressively growing its business through
franchising non-traditional and co-brand locations with either a "Noble Roman's
Pizza" or a "Tuscano's Italian Style Subs," or preferably both. To accomplish
this goal the Company participates in selective trade shows whereby it rents
trade show space sponsored by various industry organizations. At these trade
shows, the Company displays both of its concepts and prepares, cooks and serves
its various menu items for sampling and demonstration. In addition, the Company
takes its show equipment to various prospects where it sets up a unit in the
prospect's office or in a nearby hotel conference room where the Company
demonstrates its concepts and products in private showings for the individual
prospects. For the next several years the Company plans to concentrate its
growth targets to hospitals, military bases, universities, recreational
facilities, hotels, office buildings, convenience stores, travel plazas and in
traditional locations with its dual branded concepts. In addition, the Company
will aggressively pursue expansion of its dual brand concept for traditional
locations by utilizing independent Development Agents.

Competition
-----------

The restaurant industry in general is very competitive with respect to
convenience, price, product quality and service. In addition, the Company
competes for franchise sales on the basis of product engineering and quality,
investment cost, cost of sales, distribution, simplicity of operation and labor
requirements. A change in the business strategy of one or more of the Company's
competitors could have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to sell
additional franchises, maintain and renew existing franchises or sell its
products through its franchise system. Many of the Company's competitors are
very large, internationally established companies.

Within the competitive environment of the non-traditional franchise segment of
the restaurant industry, management has defined what it believes to be certain
competitive advantages for the Company. First, several of the Company's
competitors in the non-traditional segment are also large chains operating
thousands of franchised, traditional restaurants. Because of the contractual
relationships with many of their franchisees, some competitors may be unable to
offer wide-scale site availability for potential non-traditional franchisees.
The Company is not faced with any significant geographic restrictions.

Several of the Company's competitors in the non-traditional segment were
established with little or no organizational history in owning and operating
traditional foodservice locations. This lack of operating experience may be a
limitation for them in attracting and maintaining non-traditional franchisees
who, by the nature of the segment, often have little exposure to foodservice
operations themselves. The Company's background in traditional restaurant
operations has provided it experience in structuring, planning, marketing, and
cost controlling franchise unit operations which may be of material benefit to
franchisees.

Seasonality of Sales
--------------------

Direct sales of non-traditional franchises may be affected in minor ways by
certain seasonalities and holiday periods. Franchise sales to certain
non-traditional venues may be slower around major holidays such as Thanksgiving
and Christmas, and during the first couple of months of the year. Franchise
sales to other non-traditional venues show less or no seasonality. Additionally,
in middle and northern climates where adverse winter weather conditions may
hamper outdoor travel or activities, foodservice sales by franchisees may be
sensitive to sudden drops in temperature or precipitation which would in turn
affect Company royalties.

Employees
---------

As of February 25, 2005, the Company employed approximately 29 persons full-time
and 34 persons on a part-time, hourly basis. No employees are covered under
collective bargaining agreements, and the Company believes that relations with
its employees are good.

Trademarks and Service Marks
----------------------------

The Company owns and protects several trademarks and service marks. Many of
these, including NOBLE ROMAN'S (R), Noble Roman's Pizza(R), Noble Roman's Pizza
Express((TM)), THE BETTER PIZZA PEOPLE (R) and Tuscano's Italian Style Subs(R)
are registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office as well as
with the corresponding agencies of certain other foreign governments. The

                                       6
<PAGE>

Company believes that its trademarks and service marks have significant value
and are important to its sales and marketing efforts.

Government Regulation
---------------------

The Company and its franchisees are subject to various federal, state and local
laws affecting the operation of our respective businesses. Each franchise
location is subject to licensing and regulation by a number of governmental
authorities, which include health, safety, sanitation, building and other
agencies and ordinances in the state or municipality in which the facility is
located. The process of obtaining and maintaining required licenses or approvals
can delay or prevent the opening of a franchise location. Vendors, such as our
third party production and distribution services, are also licensed and subject
to regulation by state and local health and fire codes, and U. S. Department of
Transportation regulations. The Company, its franchisees and its vendors are
also subject to federal and state environmental regulations.

The Company is subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") and
various state agencies pursuant to federal and state laws regulating the offer
and sale of franchises. Several states also regulate aspects of the
franchisor-franchisee relationship. The FTC requires us to furnish to
prospective franchisees a disclosure document containing certain specified
information. Some states also regulate the sale of franchises and require
registration of a franchise offering circular with state authorities.
Substantive state laws that regulate the franchisor-franchisee relationship
presently exist in a substantial number of states, and bills have been
introduced in Congress from time to time that would provide for federal
regulation of the franchisor-franchisee relationship in certain respects. The
state laws often limit, among other things, the duration and scope of
non-competition provisions and the ability of a franchisor to terminate or
refuse to renew a franchise. Some foreign countries also have disclosure
requirements and other laws regulating franchising and the franchisor-franchisee
relationship, and the Company would be subject to applicable laws in each
jurisdiction where it seeks to market additional franchised units.

ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES

The Company's headquarters are located in 8,000 square feet of leased office
space in Indianapolis, Indiana. The lease for this property expires in December
2008.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is involved in various litigation relating to claims arising out of
its normal business operations and relating to restaurant facilities closed in
1997 and 2000.

The Company has an outstanding note payable originally made in favor of a bank
with an unpaid principal balance of $7,700,000. By the terms of the note it was
to bear interest of 8.75% per annum payable monthly in arrears. SummitBridge
National Investments, LLC reported that it had purchased this note in October
2003, as well as convertible preferred stock of the Company with an aggregate
liquidation preference of $4,929,275 (convertible into 1,643,092 shares of
common stock of the Company), 3,214,748 shares of common stock and a warrant to
purchase 385,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share.
The preferred stock, common stock and warrant were issued to the bank lender in
conjunction with various financing transactions. Under the Indiana Control Share
Acquisition Law, SummitBridge currently has no voting rights with respect to the
shares it acquired. The Company also has advised SummitBridge of the Company's
position that the Indiana Business Combination Law prohibits

                                       7
<PAGE>

SummitBridge from engaging in certain transactions with the Company until the
fifth anniversary of the acquisition, including receipt of payment in respect of
the debt obligation and receipt of common stock issuable upon conversion of the
convertible preferred stock. The Company also believes that the warrants have
expired and no longer are exercisable.

The Company filed a Complaint For Declaratory Judgment, Money Damages and Jury
Trial in the Marion Superior Court Civil Division against SummitBridge seeking
(among other relief) confirmation of the Company's position under the Indiana
Business Combination Law and as to the Company's obligations under the loan.
SummitBridge filed an Answer, as well as a Counterclaim against the Company
seeking payment of the unpaid principal and interest of the note and against
certain of its subsidiaries and a principal shareholder to enforce certain
purported guarantees.

SummitBridge also filed a motion for Judgment on the Pleadings as to a portion
of the Complaint filed by the Company. That motion sought for the Court to rule
that the Indiana Business Combination Law does not prevent SummitBridge from
enforcing its purported rights under the loan and related instruments it
purchased from the bank. SummitBridge's motion was briefed and argued and the
Court denied SummitBridge's motion. The Company intends to continue to
vigorously prosecute its claims against SummitBridge and to defend against
SummitBridge's counterclaims.

The Company recently filed a Motion For Leave To Amend Its Complaint For
Declaratory Judgment, Money Damages and Jury Trial by adding additional counts
for SummitBridge's tortious interference with its business relationships and
tortious interference with its contractual relationships, as well as treble
damages and that motion recently was granted. SummitBridge has not yet filed its
answer to the amended complaint.

Although there can be no assurance, the Company believes that the outcome of
current legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a
material adverse effect upon the Company.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction
------------

The Company's principal business strategy is to grow its business by franchising
primarily in non-traditional locations.

Earlier this year, the Company improved its cold sub sandwich menu items, and
expanded the offerings into a separate concept named Tuscano's Italian Style
Subs. Tuscano's was designed to be comfortably familiar from a customer's
perspective, but with many distinctive features that include an Italian-themed
menu. The franchise fee and ongoing royalty for a Tuscano's is identical to that
charged for a Noble Roman's Pizza franchise. To date, franchisees have opened 21
Tuscano's locations. The Company has awarded 21 additional Tuscano's franchise
agreements to be opened soon. For the most part, the Company expects to award
Tuscano's franchises for the same facilities as Noble Roman's Pizza franchises,
although Tuscano's franchises are also available for locations that do not have
a Noble Roman's Pizza franchise.

                                       10
<PAGE>

The Company continues to focus on awarding franchise agreements for both Noble
Roman's Pizza and Tuscano's Italian Style Subs in non-traditional venues such as
hospitals, military bases, universities, convenience stores, attractions,
entertainment facilities, casinos, airports, travel plazas, office complexes and
hotels. Noble Roman's has sold franchises in 44 states from coast-to-coast
within the United States. In addition, it has sold franchise agreements for
military bases in Puerto Rico, Guam and Italy, and for entertainment facilities
and convenience stores in Canada.

Both franchising concepts were designed to capitalize on the rapid growth of
non-traditional locations for quick service restaurants and to be simple to
operate, requiring a modest investment, with minimal staffing requirements while
serving great tasting menu items. The concepts were designed to be convenient
and quick for its customers. Based on the Company's experience, we believe that
franchising for non-traditional locations offers many opportunities for growth
for the foreseeable future.

In December 2004, the Company announced its intent to franchise dual branded
Noble Roman's Pizza and Tuscano's Italian Style Subs restaurants in traditional
locations. These dual branded locations have separate menu boards and counter
designs with different appearances for the two concepts but utilize a central
cashier station as centered between the two operations. The benefits of this
concept are significant to the franchisee as rent and other operating expenses
are shared by the two concepts, employees can be cross-trained and some
restaurant equipment can be shared between the two operations. Another benefit
is that traditionally sandwich restaurants do a majority of their business
during the lunch hour while pizza restaurants do a majority of their sales in
the evening hours. In order to develop these traditional restaurants in central
Indiana, the Company entered into a Development Agreement with an independent
Development Agent so as to not divert the attention of our existing development
employees from the continued development of non-traditional locations.

Based on the Company's 2002, 2003 and 2004 operating results, its business plan,
the number of franchise units now open, the backlog of units sold to be opened,
the backlog of franchise prospects now in ongoing discussions and negotiations,
the Company's trends and the results of its operations thus far in 2005,
management has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company's
deferred tax credits will be fully utilized before the tax credits expire.
Therefore, no valuation allowance was established for its deferred tax asset.
However, there can be no assurance that the franchising growth will continue in
the future. If unanticipated events should occur in the future, the realization
of all or some portion of the Company's deferred tax asset could be jeopardized.
The Company will continue to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a
quarterly basis in the future.

The following table sets forth the 2002, 2003 and 2004 operating results
included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

</TABLE>

2004 Compared with 2003
-----------------------

Total revenue increased from $7.8 million in 2003 to $7.9 million in 2004.
Continuing fees such as royalties and product allowances were approximately the
same in 2004 as 2003, while new franchise fees increased approximately $400,000
and commissions on equipment sales decreased by approximately $250,000.

Restaurant revenues increased from approximately $882,000 in 2003 to $998,000 in
2004. This increase was the result of operating more units on a temporary basis
in 2004 than were operated in 2003. From time to time the Company operates units
in military bases and hospitals until a qualified franchisee can be located. The
Company does not plan to operate any units on a permanent basis except for one
location which is used as a test kitchen and demonstration facility.

Salaries and wages increased from 13.9% of revenue in 2003 to 14.8% of revenue
in 2004. This increase was primarily the result of preparing the Company for
additional growth beyond what was realized in 2004. The Company anticipates the
growth in 2005 will result in a decrease in the salary and wage expense as a
percentage of total revenue.

Trade show expenses increased from 4.2% of revenue in 2003 to 5.1% of revenue in
2004. This increase was the result of participating in more national trade shows
to attract franchisees from additional venues to further diversify the Company's
target market. Since the Company does not intend to increase trade show
appearances in 2005, this percentage should decrease as the growth in number of
units continues.

                                       12
<PAGE>

Travel expenses increased from 2.8% of revenue in 2003 to 3.6% of revenue in
2004. This increase was the result of more locations opening farther away from
the home office. While the trend of opening farther away from the home office
will continue, the Company anticipates that the additional growth in 2005 will
offset that trend such that travel, as a percentage of revenue, will stabilize
or decrease.

Other operating expenses decreased from 9.0% of revenue in 2003 to 8.4% of
revenue in 2004. This decrease was primarily the result of tightly controlling
operating expenses and the trend is expected to continue with overall revenue
growth from new franchise locations.

Restaurant expenses increased from 11.1% of revenue in 2003 to 12.2% of revenue
in 2004. This increase was the result of operating more units on a temporary
basis in 2004 than were operated in 2003. The Company will seek to minimize the
number of units that it operates on a temporary basis in the future.

General and administrative expenses increased from 16.2% of revenue in 2003 to
17.7% of revenue in 2004. This increase was primarily the result of cost
resulting from the ongoing litigation with SummitBridge. The Company anticipates
that the growth in administrative expense in the future years will be more than
offset by the growth in revenue, therefore maintaining the current cost as a
percent of revenue and possibly lowering it slightly.

Operating income decreased from $3.3 million in 2003 to $3.0 million in 2004.
This decrease was the result of various increases in expenses described above
while achieving less growth in revenue than was expected. Based on the trends of
the first two months in 2005 and the expectations for growth in 2005, the
Company expects operating income to increase in 2005.

Net income from continuing operations decreased from $1.46 million in 2003 to
$1.34 million in 2004. This decrease was primarily the result of the various
increases in expenses, as described above, while less than expected growth in
revenue was achieved. The Company expects net income from continuing operations
to increase as a result of additional growth in the future.

The Company recognized a net loss from discontinued operations in 2004 of
$403,753 after a tax benefit of $243,175. Additionally, the Company recorded
previously unrecorded deferred tax assets from discontinued operations in the
amount of $527,095 in 2004.

2003 Compared with 2002
-----------------------

Total revenue increased from $6.6 million in 2002 to $7.8 million in 2003, or a
17.0% increase. This increase was primarily a result of increase in royalties
and fees as a result of growth in the number of franchisees. This increase was
partially offset by a decrease in administrative fees and other and the increase
was aided by the increase in restaurant revenue as a result of operating three
locations on military bases until they are sold as franchise locations. The
Company only plans to operate these locations temporarily until a qualified
franchisee can be located.

Royalties and fees increased from $5.6 million in 2002 to $6.7 million in 2003,
or a 18.7% increase. This increase was primarily the result of the growth in the
number of franchise locations open and the higher per unit sales from some of
the more recent openings. Management believes the royalties and fees will
continue to grow significantly in 2004 from additional new franchises and from
higher volume locations.

                                       13
<PAGE>

Restaurant revenues increased from approximately $711,000 in 2002 to $882,000 in
2003. This increase was the result of the additions of three military bases in
Rhode Island and Virginia as Company operations during 2002. In 2003, all of
these units were open for the entire year.

Salaries and wages decreased from 16.4% of revenue in 2002 to 13.9% of revenue
in 2003. This decrease was primarily the result of the growth in the number of
franchise locations open while utilizing approximately the same operational
staff.

Trade show expenses increased from 2.7% of revenue in 2002 to 4.2% of revenue in
2003. This increase was the result of participating in more national trade shows
to attract franchisees from additional venues to further diversify the Company's
target market.

Travel expenses decreased from 3.6% of revenue in 2002 to 2.8% of revenue in
2003. This decrease was a result of the growth in revenue from continued growth
in locations while utilizing approximately the same employees and by locating
operational staff in various parts of the country to minimize travel costs.

Other operating expenses decreased from 9.6% of revenue in 2002 to 9.0% of
revenue in 2003. This decrease was the result of the continued growth in
locations that was partially offset by increases in group insurance costs,
additional sales commissions from the sale of new units and the increase in
payroll taxes as a result of the increase in commissions.

Restaurant expenses increased from 10.6% of revenue in 2002 to 11.1% of revenue
in 2003. This increase was the result of the additions of three military bases
in Rhode Island and Virginia as Company operations during 2002. In 2003, all of
these units were open for the entire year.

General and administrative expenses decreased from 18.9% of revenue in 2002 to
16.2% of revenue in 2003. This decrease was the result of the growth in revenue
with the same general administrative structure over the last four years. The
dollar amount of general and administrative expense only grew by 0.4% for the
year ended 2003 compared to 2002, while revenue grew 17.0%.

Operating income increased from $2.5 million in 2002 to $3.3 million in 2003, or
a 31.6% increase. This increase was the result of continued growth in revenues
from franchising by utilizing the operational structure previously put in place
for that growth.

Net income from continuing operations increased from approximately $807,000 in
2002 to $1.46 million in 2003, or a 81.0% increase. This increase was the result
of continued growth in revenues from franchising by utilizing approximately the
same operating and administrative structure.

The Company recognized a net loss from discontinued operations in 2003 of
approximately $167,000 after tax benefit of $86,000. This net loss consisted of
a loss of approximately $1.05 million partially offset by a gain of
approximately $795,000 from previously unrecorded deferred tax asset from
discontinued operations.

Impact of Inflation
-------------------

The primary inflation factors affecting the Company's operations are food and
labor costs to the franchisee. To date, the Company has been able to offset the
effects of inflation in food costs without significantly increasing prices
through effective cost control methods and greater purchasing power as a

                                       14

result of additional growth. The competition for labor has resulted in higher
salaries and wages for the franchisees, however, that effect is largely
minimized by the relatively low labor requirements of the Company's franchise
concepts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

The Company's strategic direction is to grow its business by franchising
primarily in non-traditional locations. This strategy does not require
significant additional capital.

As a result of the Company's strategy, cash flow generated from operations, the
Company's current rate of entering into new franchises plus the anticipated
growth, the Company believes it will have sufficient cash flow to meet its
obligations and to carry out its current business plan.

The Company has an outstanding note payable originally made in favor of a bank
with an unpaid principal balance of $7,700,000. By the terms of the note it was
to bear interest of 8.75% per annum payable monthly in arrears. SummitBridge
National Investments, LLC reported that it had purchased this note in October
2003, as well as convertible preferred stock of the Company with an aggregate
liquidation preference of $4,929,275 (convertible into 1,643,092 shares of
common stock of the Company), 3,214,748 shares of common stock and a warrant to
purchase 385,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share.
The preferred stock, common stock and warrant were issued to the bank lender in
conjunction with various financing transactions. Under the Indiana Control Share
Acquisition Law, SummitBridge currently has no voting rights with respect to the
shares it acquired. The Company also has advised SummitBridge of the Company's
position that the Indiana Business Combination Law prohibits SummitBridge from
engaging in certain transactions with the Company until the fifth anniversary of
the acquisition, including receipt of payments in respect of the debt obligation
and receipt of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible
preferred stock. The Company also believes that the warrants have expired and no
longer are exercisable.

The Company filed a Complaint For Declaratory Judgment, Money Damages and Jury
Trial in the Marion Superior Court Civil Division against SummitBridge seeking
(among other relief) confirmation of the Company's position under the Indiana
Business Combination Law and as to the Company's obligations under the loan.
SummitBridge filed an Answer, as well as a Counterclaim against the Company
seeking payment of the unpaid principal and interest on the note and against
certain of its subsidiaries and a principal shareholder to enforce certain
purported guarantees.

SummitBridge also filed a motion for Judgment on the Pleadings as to a portion
of the Complaint filed by the Company. That motion sought for the Court to rule
that the Indiana Business Combination Law does not prevent SummitBridge from
enforcing its purported rights under the loan and related instruments it
purchased from the bank. SummitBridge's motion was briefed and argued and the
Court denied SummitBridge's motion. The Company intends to continue to
vigorously prosecute its claims against SummitBridge and to defend against
Summitbridge's counterclaims.

The Company recently filed a Motion For Leave To Amend Its Complaint For
Declaratory Judgment, Money Damages and Jury Trial by adding additional counts
for SummitBridge's tortious interference with its business relationships and
tortious interference with its contractual relationships, as well as treble
damages and that motion recently was granted. SummitBridge has not yet filed its
answer to the amended complaint.

Forward Looking Statements
--------------------------

The statements contained above in Management's Discussion and Analysis
concerning the Company's future revenues, profitability, financial resources,
market demand and product development are forward-looking statements (as such
term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995)
relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs of the management of the
Company, as well as assumptions and estimates made by, and information currently
available to, the Company's management. The Company's actual results in the
future may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements due to risks and uncertainties that exist including, but not limited
to, competitive factors and pricing pressures, shifts in market demand, general
economic conditions and other factors, including (but not limited to) changes in
demand for the Company's products or franchises, the impact of competitors'
actions, changes in prices or supplies of food ingredients and labor and
disputes regarding the Company's obligations under certain financing agreements.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should
underlying assumptions or estimates prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated,
expected or intended.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company presently does not use any derivative financial instruments to hedge
its exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates,
fluctuations in commodity prices or other market risks, nor does the Company
invest in speculative financial instruments.

Due to the nature of the Company's borrowings, it has concluded that there is no
material market risk exposure and, therefore, no quantitative tabular
disclosures are required.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Noble Roman's, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Note l:  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General Organization: The Company sells and services franchises for
non-traditional and co-branded foodservice operations under the trade names
"Noble Roman's Pizza" and "Tuscano's Italian Style Subs."

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Noble Roman's, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Pizzaco, Inc., N.R.
Realty, Inc., GNR, Inc., LPS, Inc., N.R. East, Inc. and Oak Grove Corporation
(collectively, the "Company"). Inter-company balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

Inventories: Inventories consist of food, beverage, restaurant supplies,
restaurant equipment and marketing materials and are stated at the lower of cost
(first-in, first-out) or market.

Property and Equipment: Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost
including property under capital leases. Depreciation and amortization are
computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the shorter of estimated useful life or the term
of the lease.

Advertising Costs: The Company records advertising costs consistent with
Statement of Position 93-7 "Reporting on Advertising Costs." This statement
requires the Company to expense advertising production costs the first time the
production material is used.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The carrying amount of long-term debt net
of the estimated value of the warrant approximates its fair value because the
interest rates are currently at market. Because of the very limited trading in
the Company's common stock, the Company does not believe that traditional
methods of valuing the warrant apply; therefore, the value of the warrant
reflects the Company's estimate of its value. The carrying amount of all other
financial instruments approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of
these items.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. The Company evaluates its property and equipment
and related costs periodically to assess whether any impairment indications are
present, including recurring operating losses and significant adverse changes in
legal factors or business climate that affect the recovery of recorded value. If
any impairment of an individual asset is evident, a loss would be provided to
reduce the carrying value to its estimated fair value.

Intangible Assets: Debt issue costs are amortized to interest expense ratably
over the term of the applicable debt.

Royalties, Administrative and Franchise Fees: Royalties are recognized as income
monthly and are based on a percentage of monthly sales of franchised
restaurants. Administrative fees are recognized as income monthly as earned.
Initial franchise fees are recognized as income when the franchised restaurant
is opened.

                                       21
<PAGE>

Income Taxes: The Company provides for current and deferred income tax
liabilities and assets utilizing an asset and liability approach along with a
valuation allowance as appropriate. The Company concluded that no valuation
allowance was necessary at December 31, 2003 and 2004 because it is more likely
than not that the Company will earn sufficient income before the expiration of
its net operating loss carry forwards to fully realize the value of its deferred
tax asset. The net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $30 million
which expires between the years 2011 and 2016. Management made the determination
in 2004 for no valuation allowance after reviewing the Company's business plans,
all known facts to date, recent trends, current performance and analysis of the
backlog of franchises sold but not yet open.

Basic And Diluted Net Income Per Share: Net income per share is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective year.
When dilutive, stock options and warrants are included as share equivalents
using the treasury stock method.

Note 2:  Notes Payable

The Company issued a note payable to a bank in the original principal amount of
$8,000,000 with an unpaid principal amount of $7,700,000. By the terms of the
note, it was to bear interest of 8.75% per annum payable monthly in arrears.
SummitBridge National Investments, LLC ("SummitBridge") reported that it had
purchased this note in October 2003, as well as convertible preferred stock of
the Company with an aggregate liquidation preference of $4,929,275 (convertible
to 1,643,092 shares of common stock of the Company), 3,214,748 shares of common
stock and a warrant to purchase 385,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $.01 per share. Under the Indiana Control Share Acquisition Law,
SummitBridge currently has no voting rights with respect to the shares it
acquired. The Company also has advised SummitBridge of the Company's position
that the Indiana Business Combination Law prohibits SummitBridge from engaging
in certain transactions with the Company until the fifth anniversary of the
acquisition, including receipt of payments in respect of the debt obligation and
receipt of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred
stock. The Company also believes that the warrants have expired and no longer
are exercisable.

The Company filed a Complaint For Declaratory Judgment, Money Damages and Jury
Trial in the Marion Superior Court Civil Division against SummitBridge seeking
(among other relief) confirmation of the Company's position under the Indiana
Business Combination Law and as to the Company's obligations under the loan.
SummitBridge filed an Answer, as well as a Counterclaim against the Company for
payment of principal and interest under the note and against certain of its
subsidiaries and a principal shareholder to enforce certain purported
guarantees.

SummitBridge also filed a motion for Judgment on the Pleadings as to a portion
of the Complaint filed by the Company. That motion sought for the Court to rule
that the Indiana Business Combination Law does not prevent SummitBridge from
enforcing its purported rights under the loan and related instruments it
purchased from the bank. SummitBridge's motion was briefed and argued and the
Court denied SummitBridge's motion. The Company intends to continue to
vigorously prosecute its claims against SummitBridge and to defend against
SummitBridge's counterclaims.

The Company recently filed a Motion For Leave To Amend Its Complaint For
Declaratory Judgment, Money Damages and Jury Trial by adding additional counts
for SummitBridge's tortious interference with

                                       22
<PAGE>

its business relationships and tortious interference with its contractual
relationships, as well as treble damages and the motion recently was granted.

The Company had Participating Income Notes payable to Geovest Capital Partners,
L.P. and Douglas Coape-Arnold in the amount of $859,060. The loans bear interest
at the rate of 859,060 / 2,372,800 x 2.5% of certain defined gross income. On
December 31, 2004, these notes were converted to common stock at the rate of
$1.00 per share in accordance with their terms.

Note 3: Contingent Liabilities for Leased Facilities

The Company formerly leased its restaurant facilities under non-cancelable lease
agreements which generally had initial terms ranging from five to 20 years with
extended renewal terms. These leases have all been assigned to franchisees who
operate them pursuant to a Noble Roman's, Inc. Franchise Agreement. The
assignment passes all liability for future lease payments to the assignees,
however, the Company remains contingently liable on a portion of the leases to
the landlords in the event of default by the assignees. The leases generally
required the Company or its assignees to pay all real estate taxes, insurance
and maintenance costs. The leases provided for a specified annual rental, and
some leases called for additional rental based on sales volume over specified
levels at that particular location. At December 31, 2004, contingent obligations
under non-cancelable operating leases for 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and after
2009 were approximately $358,000, $342,000, $332,000, $323,000, $180,000 and
$916,000, respectively.

Note 4:  Income Taxes:

The Company had a deferred tax asset, as a result of prior operating losses, of
$10,049,340 at December 31, 2003 and $10,129,982 at December 31, 2004, most of

respectively. Additionally, as a result of re-valuing the deferred tax asset,
the Company recorded an increase in its deferred tax asset of $794,576 in 2003
and $527,095 in 2004 for previously unrecorded deferred tax asset from

Compensation", effective with the 1996 financial statements, but elected to
continue to measure compensation cost using the intrinsic value method in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
Accordingly, no compensation cost for stock options has been recognized.

Note 6: Loss from Discontinued Operations:

Pursuant to the Company's strategic decision in 1999 to refocus its business on
its non-traditional and co-branding franchising opportunities, the Company
closed or franchised all of its formerly owned full-service restaurants. A loss
on these discontinued operations was recognized of $313,198 after a tax benefit
of $161,365 in 2002, a gross amount of $1,047,726 in 2003 and $403,753 after a
tax benefit of $243,175 in 2004. Additionally, the Company, in 2003, increased
its deferred tax asset by $794,576 to record the previously unrecorded deferred
tax asset from its discontinued operations and by $527,095 in 2004.

Note 7:  Contingencies

The Company is involved in various litigation relating to claims arising out of
its normal business operations and relating to restaurant facilities closed in
1997 and 2000. Although litigation is inherently uncertain, the Company believes
that none of its current proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will
have a material adverse effect upon the Company.

Business Combination Law prohibits SummitBridge from engaging in certain
transactions with the Company until the fifth anniversary of the acquisition,
including receipt of payment in respect of the debt obligation and receipt of
common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock. In
view of the foregoing, the Company does not consider SummitBridge to be an

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                          ----------------------------

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Noble Roman's,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders'
equity(deficit) for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Noble Roman's, Inc. and
subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations,
and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in United States.
