ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

    On November 25, 1996, New York Bagel Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company," 
which term shall be deemed to include its subsidiaries, unless the context 
indicates otherwise) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the 
"Agreement") with Lots A' Bagels, Inc. ("Lots A' Bagels") and Mr. Stephen K. 
Goldstone and Mrs. Linda F. Goldstone  to acquire through the Company's 
wholly owned subsidiary, LAB Acquisition Corporation ("LAB"), certain of the 
assets and assume certain of the liabilities of Lots A' Bagels (the 
"Acquisition").  On December 6, 1996, the Company completed the Acquisition.  
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company acquired substantially all of 
the operating assets, business operations and facilities of Lots A' Bagels, 
including seven restaurants and a bagel commissary located in Colorado 
Springs and Monument, Colorado for $2.1 million in cash and the assumption of 
certain liabilities of Lots A' Bagels.  Additionally, certain contingent 
consideration was provided for as discussed below.  LAB entered into a 
consulting agreement with Mr. Goldstone, a former executive officer of Lots 
A' Bagels, which agreement expired by its terms on March 30, 1997.  In 
connection with the acquisition, Lots A' Bagels, Mr. Goldstone and Mrs. 
Goldstone executed noncompete agreements in favor of the Company.

    Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired from Lots A' Bagels' 
seven leased  restaurants, a leased bagel commissary and substantially all of 
Lots A' Bagels' inventory, property, operating equipment, intellectual 
property and certain other assets.  In connection with the Acquisition, all 
lease agreements for the restaurants were assigned to and assumed by the 
Company.  The Company intends to operate the restaurants in substantially the 
same manner as they were operated by Lots A' Bagels.  The intellectual 
property acquired from Lots A' Bagels consists principally of the trademarks 
and logos of Lots A' Bagels.

    The Agreement also provides for contingent consideration which includes a 
$563,000 Promissory Note from the Company.  The principal amount and accrued 
interest payable under the Promissory Note were subject to offset (up to the 
full amount of such principal and interest) for (i) certain adjustments to 
have been made upon the completion of a final statement of operations for the 
period from July 1, 1996 through March 30, 1997 (the "Final Statement of 
Operations") and (ii) any amounts required to have been paid by Lots A' 
Bagels pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the Agreement.  In 
addition, depending upon adjustments which may have resulted from the Final 
Statement of Operations, the Company may have been required to pay up to an 
additional $325,000 in cash and may have been required to issue to Lots A' 
Bagels a promissory note in the amount, if any, by which the Final Statement 
of Operations adjustment exceeded $325,000.  In addition, the Company was 
obligated to issue a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock entitling Lots A' 
Bagels to purchase a to be determined number of shares of the Company's 
common stock at a price per share equal to the total amount of debt issued to 
Lots A' Bagels times sixty percent (60%) divided by the average final "close" 
price per share of the Company's Common Stock for the ten trading days ending 
three trading days prior to December 6, 1996.

    Notwithstanding the terms of the Agreement or the determination of the 
Final Statement of Operations, the parties entered into a Post Closing 
Purchase Price Modification Agreement (the 

                                       -2-

<PAGE>

"Modification Agreement") on July 17, 1997 whereby the Company paid $515,000 
in cash to Lots A' Bagels in full satisfaction of all contingent 
consideration under the Agreement.  Accordingly, the $563,000 Promissory Note 
has been canceled, and the Company is not required to remit any additional 
consideration to Lots A' Bagels, including, without limitation, any cash, 
promissory note and/or the Warrant to Purchase Common Stock.  No other 
provisions of the Agreement are modified by the Modification Agreement.

    The Company's source of the cash portion of the initial purchase price 
and the post closing purchase price was a portion of the net proceeds from 
the Company's initial public offering of Common Stock during August 1996.
