NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Consolidation and Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by ~~accounting principles~~ generally accepted inaccounting ~~the~~principles ~~United States~~ for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The operating results for the quarter ended ~~September~~December 22, 2002 are not necessarily an indication of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 2330, 2003. Except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Romacorp, Inc. (the "Company" ~~or "Romacorp"~~) for the fiscal year ended March 24, 2002. Therefore, it is suggested that the accompanying financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's March 24, 2002 consolidated financial statements.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of ~~Romacorp~~the Company and its subsidiaries include Romacorp's operation of its owned restaurants and franchise revenue from franchisees' use of trademarks and other proprietary information in the operation of Tony Roma's restaurants. Romacorp maintains its corporate office in Dallas, Texas, and, through its subsidiaries, provides menu development, training, marketing and other administrative services related to the operation of the Tony Roma's restaurant concept. All inter-company transactions between Romacorp and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires Romacorp's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 - Recapitalization

The Company (then the former Romacorp, Inc.) was acquired in June 1993 by NPC International, Inc. ("NPC"). On April 24, 1998, a recapitalization agreement (the "Recapitalization"), effective June 28, 1998, was executed, pursuant to which the former Romacorp, Inc. was renamed Roma Restaurant Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") and the assets, liabilities and operations of Holdings were contributed to its newly-created, wholly-owned subsidiary, Romacorp, Inc. In the Recapitalization, which was executed by Holdings, NPC and Sentinel Capital Partners, L.P. ("Sentinel"), Holdings redeemed stock held by NPC and NPC forgave and contributed to the capital of the Company a payable to NPC in the amount of $33,731,000. After the Recapitalization, NPC held 20% and Sentinel, through certain affiliates, held 80% of the equity of Holdings. In conjunction with this transaction, $75,000,000 of 12% Senior Notes due July 1, 2006 (the "Senior Notes") were issued by the Company. The Company paid Holdings a dividend of $75,351,000, consisting primarily of the proceeds from the Senior Notes, which was used by Holdings, along with Sentinel's equity contribution, to effect the Recapitalization. This transaction was accounted for as a leveraged recapitalization with the assets and liabilities of the Company retaining their historical value.

Note 3 - Long-term Debt

As of December 22, 2002, Romacorp's long-term debt ~~consists~~consisted of a note payable to a bank under the Revolving Credit Facility, which iswas secured by substantially all of the assets of Romacorp. ~~Prior~~On toDecember ~~April~~31, ~~2000~~2002, ~~the~~Romacorp executed a loan agreement and promissory note with GE Capital Franchise Finance creating a New Revolving Credit Facility ~~bore~~to ~~interest,~~replace atthe ~~Romacorp's~~prior ~~option,~~facility. ofThe ~~prime~~New ~~rate~~Revolving orCredit upFacility tois secured by substantially all of the ~~six-month~~assets ~~LIBOR~~of ~~plus~~Romacorp ~~2.25%.~~and ~~The~~no ~~maximum~~debt ~~credit~~obligations ~~available~~remained under the Revolving Credit Facility ~~was $15~~.0 ~~million.~~

In The ~~April~~New ~~2000, Romacorp executed the First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement"), which modified the terms of the~~ Revolving Credit Facility. ~~The~~provides ~~Amended Credit Agreement provided~~ for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million ~~until~~and ~~April~~includes ~~2001;~~annual ~~$24.0~~reductions ~~million~~in ~~until~~the ~~April~~maximum ~~2002;~~borrowing ~~$22.5~~capacity ~~million~~ranging ~~until~~from ~~April 2003; and~~ $201.575 million ~~until~~in ~~June 2003, at which time~~ the ~~maximum~~first ~~borrowing~~year isup ~~reduced~~ to $53.525 million. ~~The Amended Credit Agreement expires~~ in ~~April~~later ~~2005~~years. ~~The~~To ~~terms of~~ the ~~Amended~~extent ~~Credit~~Romacorp ~~Agreement~~has ~~provided~~not ~~for~~utilized ~~interest~~$5 ~~rates~~million ~~ranging~~of ~~from~~ the ~~prime~~borrowing ~~rate~~capacity to ~~prime~~repurchase ~~plus~~Senior ~~1.0%~~Notes orby ~~the~~December ~~six-month~~31, ~~LIBOR~~2003, ~~plus~~the ~~2.25%~~maximum toborrowing ~~LIBOR~~capacity ~~plus~~of ~~3.25%.~~the ~~Both~~New ~~rates~~Revolving ~~were~~Credit ~~subject~~Facility towill ~~maintaining~~be ~~certain~~reduced ~~financial~~on ~~covenants,~~that ~~and~~date ~~interest~~by ~~was~~the ~~payable~~difference ~~upon~~between ~~maturity~~$5 ~~for~~million ~~LIBOR~~and ~~advances~~the oramount ~~monthly~~borrowed ~~for~~pursuant ~~prime~~to ~~rate~~the ~~advances.~~New InRevolving ~~addition,~~Credit aFacility ~~commitment~~to ~~fee~~repurchase ~~based~~Senior onNotes. anThe ~~annual~~maximum ~~rate~~borrowing ofcapacity ~~.375%~~ is ~~payable~~also ~~monthly~~limited onby ~~all~~funded ~~unused~~debt ~~commitments.~~covenants ~~Subsequent~~that require Romacorp to ~~executing~~maintain ~~the~~a ~~Amended~~Funded ~~Credit~~Debt ~~Agreement,~~to ~~Romacorp~~EBITDA ~~utilized~~ratio $9of 3.65:1.0 ~~million~~excluding tothe ~~repurchase~~ Senior Notes ~~with~~and a7.5:1.0 ~~face~~including ~~value~~the ofSenior ~~$12~~Notes.~~0 million.~~

In The ~~January~~New ~~2001,~~Revolving ~~Romacorp received a waiver of the Amended~~ Credit ~~Agreement~~Facility ~~loan~~will ~~covenants~~expire ~~for~~in ~~the quarter ended~~ December ~~24,~~2012 ~~2000.~~and Inbears ~~addition,~~interest ~~Romacorp~~at ~~executed~~ the ~~Second~~one-month ~~Amendment~~LIBOR toplus ~~Credit Agreement, the terms of which reduced Romacorp's required consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) from $15~~4.~~0 million to $13~~5%.0 ~~million~~The ~~and reduced the required~~ interest ~~coverage~~rate ~~ratio~~is ~~from~~subject ~~1.7~~ to ~~1.5.~~maintaining ~~These~~certain ~~amended~~financial ~~terms~~covenants ~~remained in effect until the fiscal quarter ending December 2001,~~ and ~~were~~is topaid ~~be reinstated to the previous levels for the quarter ending March 2002~~monthly.

Due to reductions in EBITDA that occurred during the quarters ended December 2001 and March 2002, Romacorp did not achieve consolidated EBITDA of $15.0 million and an interest coverage ratio of 1.7 for the quarter ended March 2002. Therefore, the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement was executed in July 2002. The terms of the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement provide for the immediate reduction in the maximum aggregate principal amount to $18.0 million until September 30, 2002 at which time the maximum borrowing is reduced by $250,000, with subsequent reductions in the maximum borrowing of $250,000 occurring on the last day of each calendar month thereafter, until June 2003, when the maximum borrowing is reduced to $5.5 million. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement, the interest rate was increased from the prime rate plus 1.0% to the prime rate plus 1.5% until January 2003 at which time the interest rate increases by 0.25% each month until the Revolving Credit Facility is refinanced. The terms of the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement reduced the required consolidated EBITDA to $11.5 million for the quarter ending March 2002; $10.0 million for the quarters ending June 2002, September 2002 and December 2002; and $12.0 million for the quarter ending March 2003 and thereafter. The required interest coverage ratio was reduced to 1.4 for the quarter ending March 2002; 1.2 for the quarter ending June 2002; 1.15 for the quarters ending September 2002 and December 2002; and 1.4 for the quarter ending March 2003 and thereafter. Romacorp was in compliance with the amended covenants as of the quarter ended September 22, 2002.
Note 4 - Senior Notes

In conjunction with the Recapitalization, on June 28, 1998, Romacorp issued the Senior Notes. Interest on the Senior Notes accrues from the date of issuance and is payable in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 1999. As of both ~~September~~December 22, 2002 and March 24, 2002, the principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding was $57.0 million.

Note 5 - Income Taxes

At ~~September~~December 22, 2002, the Company had generated estimated net operating losses of approximately $2.3.9 million, which, if not used, will begin to expire in 2022, and tax credit carryforwards of approximately $1.7 million, which, if not used, will also begin to expire in 2022. Future changes in ownership may place limitations on the use of these net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $1.6 million against the deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty ofthat ~~fully~~the ~~realizing~~Company ~~the~~will ~~related~~utilize ~~benefits.~~all general business credits prior to their expiration.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Thirteen and ~~Twenty~~Thirty-~~Six~~Nine Weeks Ended ~~September~~December 22, 2002 with the Thirteen and ~~Twenty~~Thirty-~~Six~~Nine Weeks Ended ~~September~~December 23, 2001
Net restaurant sales
. Net restaurant sales for the quarter ended December 22, 2002 were $24.7 million, representing a decrease of $1.8 million, or 6.7% from the $26.5 million reported during the same period of the prior year. During the 39 weeks ended December 22, 2002, net restaurant sales were $78.0 million, representing a decrease of $8.8 million or 10.1% below the $86.8 million reported during the same period of the prior year. The closure of five restaurants during the prior fiscal year and one restaurant during the current quarter resulted in sales decreases during the 13 and 39 weeks ended December 22, 2002 of $1.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The remaining decreases are due primarily to decreases in sales at comparable restaurants of 1.7% for the quarter and 4.7% for the year-to-date period. There were 55 company-owned restaurants at December 22, 2002 compared to 60 company-owned restaurants at December 23, 2001.

Net franchise revenues
. Net franchise revenues decreased $322,000 to $2.4 million for the quarter and decreased $193,000 to $7.4 million for the year-to-date period. Comparable sales at franchisee-operated restaurants decreased 3.4% for the quarter and 4.0% for the year-to-date comparison. During the quarter ended December 22, 2002, six franchise restaurants were opened and three franchise restaurants were closed.

Cost of sales
. Cost of sales as a percentage of net restaurant sales increased slightly to 32.4% from 32.2% for the same quarter of the prior year and decreased from 33.0% to 32.3% for the year-to-date comparison. The decreased cost as a percentage of sales for the year-to-date period was due primarily to lower rib costs versus the same period of the prior year.

Direct labor costs.
Direct labor costs as a percentage of net restaurant sales increased to 35.7% from 35.4% for the same quarter of the prior year and increased to 34.6% from 34.1% for the year-to-date comparison, due primarily to higher management labor and group insurance expense offset by a reduction in hourly wages as a percentage of net restaurant sales.

Other. Other operating expenses for the quarter decreased $~~881~~540,000 to $7.85 million or 30.64% of net restaurant sales compared with 2930.84% of net restaurant sales for the same quarter of the prior year. On a year-to-date basis, other operating expenses decreased $1.49 million to $1623.05 million or 30.01% of net restaurant sales from $1725.4 million or 2829.83% of net restaurant sales for the same period of the prior year. The decrease in cost for the quarter and year-to-date period is due primarily to the closure of five restaurants during the prior fiscal year. The increase in cost as a percentage of sales is due to the semi-variable relationship to restaurant sales of many expenses in this category. During the quarter, Romacorp experienced increased repair and maintenance and rent expenses.

General and administrative expenses
. General and administrative expenses for the quarter were $2.3 million, representing an increase of $81,000 from the $2.2 million reported during the same quarter of the prior year. For the year-to-date period, general and administrative expenses were $6.9 million, representing an increase of $319,000 from the $6.6 million reported during the same period of the prior year. For the quarter, the increase is due primarily to increases in corporate overhead and field supervision expenses partially offset by lower management training salaries. For the year-to-date period, the increase is due primarily to increases in the number of field supervisory staff, higher management training wages and the expenses associated with the exchange offer that was announced on May 14, 2002 and expired on June 18, 2002, pursuant to which the Company solicited consent for the exchange of new 12% Senior Secured Notes for up to all the outstanding Senior Notes of the Company.

Interest expense
. Interest expense for the quarter was $2.0 million, representing a decrease of $36,000 as compared to the same quarter of the prior year. For the year-to-date period, interest expense was $6.1 million, representing a decrease of $239,000 from the same period of the prior year. The decreases are due to the reduction in the balance of the Revolving Credit Facility and the impact of lower interest rates associated with the Revolving Credit Facility.

Miscellaneous. M
iscellaneous income and expense offset each other during the quarter and were $52,000 lower than the same quarter of the prior year. For the year-to-date period, miscellaneous income of $309,000 was $33,000 lower than the same period of the prior year. The differences are due primarily to variances in gains or losses recognized on the sale of assets.

Income tax benefit
. The income tax benefit recorded during the quarter and year-to-date periods was approximately 27.5% of pre-tax income compared to approximately 35% during the prior year periods. During the current year periods, the tax benefit has been reduced by a valuation allowance that has been established based upon the uncertainty that the Company will utilize all general business credits prior to their expiration.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Romacorp has a working capital deficit of $158.42 million at ~~September~~December 22, 2002, ~~including~~which ~~$8.3 million in current maturities of long-term debt. A working capital deficit~~ is common in the restaurant industry, as restaurant companies do not typically require a significant investment in accounts receivable or inventory. The working capital deficit increased from $4.6 million at March 24, 2002 due primarily to ~~the~~increases ~~reclassification~~in ofaccrued ~~$8.3~~interest ~~million~~expense ofand ~~debt as a current liability, increases in~~ other accrued liabilities, reductions of inventory held in storage and the disposition of assets held for sale.

~~Concurrently~~ As ~~with the consummation~~ of ~~the~~December ~~Recapitalization~~22, ~~(see~~2002, ~~Note~~Romacorp's 2long-term todebt ~~Condensed~~consisted ~~Consolidated Financial Statements) and the issuance~~ of ~~$75.0~~a ~~million~~note inpayable ~~Senior~~to ~~Notes,~~a ~~Romacorp~~bank ~~entered~~under ~~into~~ the Revolving Credit Facility., ~~This~~which ~~five-year~~was ~~facility~~secured ~~initially~~by ~~provided~~substantially ~~for~~all ~~borrowings~~of inthe anassets ~~aggregate~~of ~~principal~~Romacorp. ~~amount~~As of upDecember to22, 2002, $1513.0 million, ~~with~~was ~~interest,~~outstanding atunder ~~Romacorp's option, of~~ the ~~prime~~Revolving ~~rate~~Credit ~~or up to the six-month LIBOR plus 2~~Facility.~~25%.

Subsequent to executing the Amended Credit Agreement, Romacorp utilized $9.6 million to repurchase Senior Notes with a face value of $12.0 million. As of September 22, 2002, $13.8 million was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

~~Romacorp's~~ During ability to refinance its debt and generate cash flow from operations sufficient to make scheduled payments on its debt as they become due will depend on Romacorp's future performance and ability to successfully implement its business and growth strategies. Romacorp's performance will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors. Many of these factors are beyond Romacorp's control. In the ~~event~~39 ~~that~~weeks ~~Romacorp~~ended isDecember ~~unable to refinance its debt~~22, ~~Romacorp may be left without sufficient liquidity and may not be able to meet its debt service requirements.

          Romacorp believes cash flow generated from operations and working capital are principal indicators of its liquidity condition. Romacorp's principal sources of liquidity on both a long-term and short-term basis are cash flow generated from operations and the Revolving Credit Facility.
          Cash flow provided by operating activities for the 26 weeks ended September 22, 2002 was $702,000, compared to $963,000 during the same period of the prior year. Capital expenditures were $1,048,000 for the 26 weeks ended September 22, 2002 and were funded through cash flow from operations and the proceeds from asset sales. The Company received proceeds of $1.2 million related to the sale of two restaurant properties during the 26 weeks ended September 22, 2002.
          During the 26 weeks ended September 22, 2002, seven franchise restaurants were opened and two franchise restaurants were closed.
Forward-Looking Statements

The statements under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and other statements that are not historical facts contained herein are forward-looking statements that involve estimates, risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: consumer demand; market acceptance risk; the level of and the effectiveness of marketing campaigns by the Company; training and retention of skilled management and other restaurant personnel; the Company's ability to locate and secure acceptable restaurant sites; the effect of economic conditions, including interest rate fluctuations; the impact of competing restaurants and concepts; new product introductions; product mix and pricing; the cost of commodities and other food products; labor shortages and costs and other risks detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Romacorp is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on debt and changes in commodity prices, particularly baby-back rib prices.

Romacorp's exposure to interest rate risk relates to the variable rate Revolving Credit Facility, which is benchmarked to United States short-term interest rates. Romacorp does not use derivative financial instruments to manage overall borrowing costs or reduce exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates. The impact on Romacorp's results of operations of a one point interest rate change on the outstanding balance of the variable rate debt as of ~~September~~December 22, 2002 would be immaterial.

Baby-back ribs represent approximately 25% of Romacorp's cost of sales. Because baby-back ribs are a by-product of pork processing, their price is influenced largely by the demand for boneless pork. Historically, the cost of baby-back ribs has been volatile. Significant changes in the price of baby-back ribs and other ribs sold by Romacorp could materially increase the Company's cost of sales and adversely affect the business, results of operations and financial condition of Romacorp. Romacorp actively manages its rib costs through supply commitments in advance of a specific need. However, the arrangements are terminable at will at the option of either party without prior notice. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any of the supply commitments will not be terminated in the future. As a result, Romacorp is subject to the risk of substantial and sudden price increases, shortages or interruptions in supply of such items, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of Romacorp.

Romacorp purchases certain other commodities used in food preparation. These commodities are generally purchased based upon market prices established with vendors. These purchase arrangements may contain contractual features that limit the price paid by establishing certain price floors or caps. Romacorp does not use financial instruments to hedge commodity prices because these purchase arrangements help control the ultimate cost paid and any commodity price aberrations are generally short term in nature.

This market risk discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from this discussion based upon general market conditions and changes in domestic and global financial markets and the factors discussed under "Forward-Looking Statements" above.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 15d-14(c). Based upon that evaluation, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in enabling the Company to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings within the required time period.

(b) Changes in internal controls.
There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of management's last evaluation.
