See accompanying notes. 5 Papa John's International, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) June 28, 1998 1. Basis of 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 Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S - X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 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. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 28, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 27, 1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Papa John's International, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 1997. 2. Advertising and Related Costs Advertising and related costs include the costs of Company-owned restaurant activities such as mail coupons, door hangers and promotional items and, through December 28, 1997, Company-owned restaurant contributions to the Papa John's Marketing Fund, Inc. (the "Marketing Fund") and local market cooperative advertising funds as incurred. Contributions by Company-owned and franchised restaurants to the Marketing Fund and the cooperative advertising funds are based on an established percentage of monthly restaurant revenues. The Marketing Fund is responsible for developing and conducting marketing and advertising for the Papa John's system. The local market cooperative advertising funds are responsible for developing and conducting advertising activities in a specific market, including the placement of electronic and print materials developed by the Marketing Fund. Such funds are accounted for separately and are not included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, except as described below beginning with the first quarter of 1998. Effective December 29, 1997, the Company began recognizing Company-owned restaurant contributions to the Marketing Fund and to those local market cooperative advertising funds deemed to be controlled by the Company (collectively, the "Controlled Funds"), as advertising and related costs at the time the Controlled Funds actually incurred such expenses. Through December 28, 1997, the Controlled Funds generally incurred expenses as contributions were received; therefore, the impact of this change was not material to the Company's first and second quarter 1998 financial statements. 3. Accounting Pronouncement In May 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities" (the "SOP"), which will require adoption at the beginning of 1999. The Company's initial application of the SOP will require the write-off of deferred pre-opening costs as of the date of adoption, and such write-off will be reported, on a net of tax basis, as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The Company does not expect the adoption of the SOP to materially impact future operating income. Deferred pre-opening costs as of June 28, 1998, were $3.2 million. 4. Subsequent Event During 1997, the Company acquired a 49% equity ownership interest in Mountain Pizza Group, L.L.C. ("MPG"), for $150,000 in cash. In July 1998, the Company acquired the remaining 51% for $565,000 in cash. In connection with the acquisition, the Company also assumed $2.4 million in MPG debt. MPG, an entity which operates seven Papa John's restaurants in Denver, Colorado, was owned by the President of the Company. 6 Item 2.

Results of Operations Revenues. Total revenues increased 28.6% to $162.3 million for the three months ended June 28, 1998, from $126.2 million for the comparable period in 1997, and 33.6% to $315.2 million for the six months ended June 28, 1998, from $235.9 million for the comparable period in 1997. Restaurant sales increased 25.7% to $79.9 million for the three months ended June 28, 1998, from $63.6 million for the comparable period in 1997, and 33.8% to $155.9 million for the six months ended June 28, 1998, from $116.5 million for the comparable period in 1997. These increases were primarily due to increases of 21.6% and 26.1% in the number of equivalent Company-owned restaurants open during the three and six months ended June 28, 1998, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. "Equivalent restaurants" represent the number of restaurants open at the beginning of a given period, adjusted for restaurants opened, acquired, closed or sold during the period on a weighted average basis. Also, sales increased 5.9% for the three months ended June 28, 1998, over the comparable period in 1997, and 9.5% for the six months ended June 28, 1998, over the comparable period in 1997, for Company- owned restaurants open throughout both periods. Franchise royalties increased 35.2% to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 28, 1998, from $6.0 million for the comparable period in 1997, and 36.7% to $15.4 million for the six months ended June 28, 1998, from $11.3 million for the comparable period in 1997. These increases were primarily due to increases of 28.9% and 29.1% in the number of equivalent franchised restaurants open during the three and six months ended June 28, 1998, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Also, sales increased 7.8% for the three months ended June 28, 1998, over the comparable period in 1997,and 9.1% for the six months ended June 28, 1998, over the comparable period in 1997, for franchised restaurants open throughout both periods. Franchise and development fees decreased 8.6% to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 28, 1998, from $1.4 million for the comparable period in 1997, and 8.1% to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 28, 1998, from $2.6 million for the comparable period in 1997. These decreases were primarily due to the 140 franchised restaurants opened during the six months ended June 28, 1998, versus the 142 opened during the comparable 7 period in 1997, and the nature and mix of development agreements under which the restaurants were opened. The average dollar amount of fees per franchised restaurant opening may vary from period to period, as restaurants opened pursuant to older development agreements and "Hometown restaurants" generally have lower required fees than restaurants opened pursuant to more recent development agreements. "Hometown restaurants" are located in smaller markets, generally markets with less than 9,000 households. Commissary sales increased 36.0% to $62.0 million for the three months ended June 28, 1998, from $45.6 million for the comparable period in 1997, and 37.6% to $119.6 million for the six months ended June 28, 1998, from $86.9 million for the comparable period in 1997. These increases were primarily the result of the increases in equivalent franchised restaurants and comparable sales for franchised restaurants previously noted. Equipment and other sales increased 13.6% to $11.0 million for the three months ended June 28, 1998, from $9.7 million for the comparable period in 1997, and 18.0% to $21.9 million for the six months ended June 28, 1998 from $18.6 million for the comparable period in 1997. These increases were primarily the result of the previously noted increase in equivalent franchised restaurants and sales of the Papa John's PROFIT System, a proprietary point of sale system, and related PROFIT support services to franchisees. Costs and Expenses. Restaurant cost of sales, which consists of food, beverage and paper costs, decreased as a percentage of restaurant sales to 25.9% for the three months ended June 28, 1998, from 26.3% for the comparable period in 1997, and decreased to 26.2% for the six months ended June 28, 1998, from 26.4% for the comparable period in 1997. These decreases were primarily due to restaurant efficiencies, partially offset by increases in the average cheese block market prices. Cheese, representing approximately 40% of food cost, and other commodities are subject to seasonal fluctuations, weather, demand and other factors. Most of the factors affecting cost are beyond the control of the Company. An increase in the cost of cheese, or other operating costs, could adversely affect profitability of the Company. Restaurant salaries and benefits as a percentage of restaurant sales decreased to 27.1% for the three months ended June 28, 1998, from 27.4% for the comparable period in 1997, and decreased to 26.9% for the six months ended June 28, 1998, from 27.2% for the comparable period in 1997, as a result of certain efficiencies gained on a higher sales base, partially offset by an increase in the federal minimum wage in September 1997. Occupancy costs remained relatively consistent at 4.8% and 4.7%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 28, 1998, as compared to 4.8% and 4.9% for the comparable periods in 1997. Advertising and related costs decreased to 9.0% for the three months ended June 28, 1998, from 9.4% for the comparable period in 1997, and decreased to 9.0% for the six months ended June 28, 1998, from 9.2% for the comparable period in 1997. This decrease is not considered unusual as advertising for the Company often varies based on the timing of market-level promotions. Other restaurant operating expenses decreased as a percentage of restaurant sales to 13.1% for the three months ended June 28, 1998, from 13.3% for the comparable period in 1997, and decreased as a percentage of restaurant sales to 13.2% for the six months ended June 28, 1998, from 13.7% for the comparable period in 1997. Other operating expenses include an allocation of commissary operating expenses equal to 3% of Company-owned restaurant sales in order to assess a portion of the costs of dough production and food and equipment purchasing and storage to Company-owned restaurants. The decrease in other operating expenses as a percentage of restaurant sales was primarily due to training efficiencies and lower worker's compensation costs. Commissary, equipment and other expenses include cost of sales and operating expenses associated with sales of food, paper, equipment, information systems, and printing and promotional items to franchisees and other customers. These costs decreased as a percentage of combined commissary sales and equipment and other sales to 90.5% for the three months ended June 28, 1998, as compared to 92.8% for the same period in 1997, and to 91.0% for the six months ended June 28, 1998, from 91.9% for the comparable period in 1997. Cost of sales as a percentage of combined commissary sales and equipment and other sales decreased to 77.6% from 78.9% for the comparable period in 1997, due to the mix of commissary sales to equipment and other sales which have a higher margin. Cost of sales remained relatively consistent at 78.0% for the six months ended June 28, 1998, as compared to 77.9% for the comparable period in 1997. Salaries and benefits as a percentage of combined commissary sales and equipment and other sales decreased to 5.6% for the three months ended June 28, 1998, from 5.8% for the comparable period in 1997 and to 5.6% for the six months ended June 28, 1998, from 5.9% for the comparable period in 1997. Other operating expenses 8 decreased to 7.2% for the three months ended and 7.4% for the six months ended June 28, 1998, from 8.1% for the comparable periods in 1997. These decreases were due primarily to higher costs related to the opening of two commissary facilities in the comparable periods in 1997, as compared to one commissary facility opened in the current comparable periods. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased to 7.6% for the three months ended June 28, 1998, from 7.4% for the comparable period in 1997, and decreased to 7.4% for the six months ended June 28, 1998, from 7.6% for the comparable period in 1997. The increase for the three months ended was due principally to the decrease in deferral of system development costs, partially offset by the receipt of incentives under the Kentucky Jobs Development Act (the "KJDA incentives") related to certain corporate employment increases. The reduction in costs for the six months ended, June 28, 1998 was due to leveraging expenses on a higher sales base and the KJDA incentives. Depreciation and amortization were relatively consistent as a percentage of total revenues at 3.7% and 3.8%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 28, 1998, as compared to 3.8% and 3.7% for the comparable periods in 1997. Investment Income. Investment income increased to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 28, 1998, from $1.1 million for the comparable period in 1997, and remained consistent at $2.2 million for the six months ended June 28, 1998, and the comparable period in 1997 due to relatively consistent invested balances and yields. Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense reflects a combined federal, state and local effective tax rate of 37% for the three and six months ended June 28, 1998 and June 29, 1997, representing statutory rates applied to pre-tax income as adjusted by the impact of tax-exempt investment income and other items. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company requires capital primarily for the development and acquisition of restaurants, the addition of new commissary and support services facilities and equipment, the enhancement of corporate systems and facilities, and the funding of franchisee loans. Capital expenditures of $27.8 million and loans to franchisees of $1.7 million (net of repayments) for the six months ended June 28, 1998, were funded by cash flow from operations. Cash flow from operations increased to $30.0 million for the six months ended June 28, 1998, from $15.9 million for the comparable period in 1997, due primarily to the higher level of net income for the first six months of 1998 and changes in working capital. In addition to restaurant development and potential acquisitions, significant capital projects for the next 12 months are expected to include the development of full-service commissaries in Dallas, Texas and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania by mid-1999. In early-1999, the Company also expects to open a 240,000 square foot facility in Louisville, Kentucky, approximately 40% of which will accommodate relocation and expansion of the Louisville commissary operations and Novel Approach promotional division, and the remainder of which will accommodate relocation and consolidation of corporate offices. The Company has been approved to receive up to $21.0 million in incentives under the Kentucky Jobs Development Act in connection with the relocation of the corporate offices. Based upon the expected timing of completion of the facility, the Company expects to earn approximately $14.0 million of such incentives through 2007. Additionally, during the remainder of 1998 the Company expects to fund up to $2.3 million in additional loans under existing franchisee loan program commitments. Approximately $16.8 million was outstanding under this program as of June 28, 1998. The Company does not expect to significantly expand the program beyond existing commitments. Capital resources available at June 28, 1998, include $24.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, $59.9 million of investments and $8.2 million under a line of credit expiring in June 1999. The Company expects to fund planned capital expenditures for the next twelve months from these resources and operating cash flows. 9 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
