</TABLE>

Based on the Company's business plan, the number of Express 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 thus
far in 1998, management determined that it is more likely than not that the
Company's deferred tax asset will be fully realized. Therefore, no valuation
allowance was established for its deferred tax asset. However, there can be no
assurance that the growth of the Express will continue in the future nor can
there be any assurance that the full-service restaurants can be operated
successfully in the future. If negative events should occur in the future in
either the Express or the full-service operations, the realization of all or
some portion of the Company's deferred tax asset could be jeopardized. The
Company will undertake to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a
quarterly basis in the future.

The statements contained 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 in the Company's operations and business
environment including, but not limited to: the operations and results of
operations of the Company as well as its customers and suppliers, including as a
result of 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, and changes in prices or supplies of food ingredients.
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.

(1)  As a percentage of restaurant revenue

Total revenue increased $616.1 thousand, or 10.4% for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. The primary reason
for the increase is the growth of the Express business plus same store sales
increase of 2.5% in the full-service restaurants. Total revenue decreased $988.8
thousand, or 5.0%, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 compared
to the same period in 1997. The primary reason for this decrease was the closing
of 19 restaurants and the sale of four others in the second quarter of 1997 plus
same store sales decrease of 2.7% in the full-service restaurants. The same
store sales increase during the third quarter is the result of the Company's
aggressive turnaround strategy following a period of inconsistent service and
product during 1996 and 1997 which resulted in same store sales declines. The
Express business has grown to represent 9.1% of the Company's total revenues
during the third quarter of 1998 compared to 2.4% during the same period in
1997.

Express royalties and fees were approximately $592,500 and $1,453,800 for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998 compared to $140,100
and $242,900 during the corresponding periods in 1997. Franchising of Noble
Roman's Pizza Express began in early 1997.

Cost of revenue as a percentage of restaurant revenue decreased from 22.5% and
21.1% to 20.0% and 19.7% for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease is the result of
improved cost controls resulting from the Company's aggressive long-term
turnaround policy coupled with a change in the method of recording many of the
specials at net sales price rather than gross, offset by significantly higher
cheese prices during the third quarter of 1998 compared to last year. In the
Company's menu, all items are individually priced. Some time in the past the
Company began offering in-restaurant specials for a combination of items (such
as individual sized pizza, order of breadsticks and medium drink) for a price
which was a discount to the total price of the individual items. During 1997,
the Company changed its method of reporting these specials and recorded the sale
at the combination price with no charge to discount expense. During 1998, the
Company reverted back to its historical method of recording the sales at the
individual item price and a charge to discount expense for the discounted
amount. While causing cost of revenues to decrease and other restaurant expenses
to increase in 1998, the change had no effect on sales, restaurant operating
margins or net income.

Salaries and wages increased slightly as a percentage of restaurant revenue from
36.0% and 36.5% to 36.3% and 36.6% for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase is the result of
increased labor costs to improve customer service. This increased staffing level
was necessary to overcome perception created in 1996 and 1997.

Other restaurant expenses were 20.5% and 22.2% compared to 26.0% and 24.9% for
the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998. This increase
in expense as a percentage of restaurant revenue was primarily the result of the
changes in recording discounts as discussed above relating to cost of revenue.

General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased
from 10.6% and 10.5% to 11.5% and 11.8% for the three-month and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. This increase is
primarily attributable to the growth of the Express business.

Operating loss increased from $374.4 thousand to a loss of $401.2 thousand
during the three-month period ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same
period in 1997. Increases in revenues from the growth of the Express business
plus the same store sales increase were offset by increased restaurant operating
expenses. Operating loss improved from a loss of $6.7 million to a loss of $1.1
million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. The
operating results for the nine-month period ending September 30, 1997 included
restructuring costs of $5.2 million. Excluding the expenses resulting from the
Company's restructuring, the Company's operating loss for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1998 was $1.5 million. Excluding the effect of the
restructuring costs in 1997, the Company realized an improvement in operating
income of $412.3 thousand during the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998
compared to the same period in 1997. The primary reason for the improved results
is growth of the Express business.

Interest increased from $80.8 thousand to $413.7 thousand for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1998. The primary reason for the increase was that
certain interest was not recorded in the three months ended September 30, 1997
due to the subsequent forgiveness of both principal and interest as part of the
debt restructuring on November 21, 1997 with the Company's primary lender. Due
to the effect of that restructuring, interest expense increased from $880.4
thousand to $1.0 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1998 and
1997.

Net loss increased from $299.6 thousand to $537.8 thousand during the
three-month period ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. Net loss improved from
$5.0 to a loss of $1.4 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30,
1998 and 1997. Excluding restructuring costs incurred in 1997, net loss improved
from a loss of $1.6 million to a loss of $1.4 million. The reduction in the net
loss was primarily the result of the financial and operational restructuring
that the Company completed in 1997 and the rapid growth of the Express business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

During 1995 and 1996, the Company attempted a major acquisition of a 187-unit
pizza restaurant chain operating in seven states in the Northeast as a part of a
strategic decision to acquire and consolidate other regional chains. For a
number of reasons this attempted acquisition failed, despite senior management
devoting substantially all of its attention to that attempt for a period of
almost 18 months. As the Company's focus was increasingly on the acquisition
transaction, the Company's primary market was, as a result of several
demographic/consumption trends, targeted for expansion by a large number of
mid-scale dining chains for expansion. The unemployment rates in the Company's
labor markets were approaching record lows and the Company's personnel were
aggressively recruited by others. Senior management, due to the acquisition
transaction, were unable to participate in daily operations during the period.

Because of the Company's dramatic turnover and its inability to stabilize
staffing levels through ordinary recruiting efforts, sales and margins declined.
The Company suffered serious losses and defaulted on its loan agreement with its
primary lender. Due to a lack of staffing and the Company's financial
difficulties, the Company closed 19 of its restaurants in May 1997 and launched
a turnaround strategy consisting of three primary elements:

    o    Negotiated a series of debt restructurings with its primary lender, The
         Provident Bank, whereby the Bank loaned the Company additional funds,
         converted a portion of its debt to equity and extended maturity of
         remaining debt. The Company also obtained additional funding from
         various investors associated with the Geometry Group, New York, in the
         form of convertible participating income notes which may, at the option
         of the investors, be converted to equity April 15, 2003.

    o    Restructured the Company's executive staff including the appointment of
         Scott Mobley as President, Wade Shanower as Vice President of
         Operations, Troy Branson as Vice President of Franchising, Art Mancino
         as Vice President of Development and Dan Hutchison as Chief Financial
         Officer.

    o    Began franchising Noble Roman's Pizza Express for non-traditional
         locations such as convenience stores, grocery stores, truck stops,
         travel centers, universities, bowling centers and to other traditional
         restaurants as a co-brand.

                                       9

On April 30, 1999, the Company obtained $2,235,600 in additional funding from
various investors associated with The Geometry Group based in New York City, who
purchaed participating income notes of the Company (the "Participating Notes")
and warrants to purchase at any time prior to December 31, 2001 an aggregate of
275,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $.01 per share. The
Participating Notes mature on April 15, 2003 and are payable at that time, at
the option of each investor, in cash, in shares of the Company's common stock
based on a conversion price of $1.375 per share or in a combination thereof.
Interest on the Participating Notes accrues at a rate per annum equal to each
investor's pro rata share of the Company's revenues associated with the
Company's Pizza Express. Such interest is payable in cash monthly, provided,
however, that to the extent that the interest otherwise payable to an investor
would exceed such investor's pro rata share of the sum of $33,534, all interest
in excess of such amount shall be paid in the form of a PIK Note of the Company.
Each PIK Note matures on April 15, 2003 and, similar to the Participating Notes,
is payable at that time, at the option of each investor, in cash, in shares of
the Company's common stock based on a conversion price of $1.375 per share or in
a combination thereof.

As a result of the Company's debt restructuring, the exchange of debt for
equity, and the $2.2 million investment on April 30, 1999 by various funds
associated with The Geometry Group, New York in the form of convertible
participating income notes, the Company believes it will have sufficient cash
flow to meet its obligations and to carry out its current business plan.
Currently, the Company anticipates that its capital expenditures for 1999 will
be approximately $500 thousand primarily for improvements to its existing
full-service restaurants.

outside advisors to update or replace various systems so all information system
software will be year 2000 compliant by the third quarter 1999. Although there
can be no assurance, management anticipates that issues related to year 2000
will have no material effect on the business, the results of operations or on
the Company's financial condition.

ITEM 1.   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. The Company believes that none of
         its current proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a
         material adverse effect upon the Company beyond the amount reserved in
         its financial statements.

         Legal proceedings against the Company include REH Acquisition, Ltd.
         ("REH") versus Noble Roman's, Inc. and The Provident Bank., filed July

         of New York. The complaint alleges that the Company breached agreements
         entered into with the Plaintiff to seek to fund and restructure the
         Company's bank debt. The Company has denied liability and will defend
         vigorously. The Company has filed a counter-claim against REH and
         Elliott and Robert Herskowitz, individually, for false and malicious
         misrepresentations seeking actual and punitive damages against each of
         them.
