1.       BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         Mafco Worldwide Corporation (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation
was formed in 1991. Prior to June 15, 1995 the Company was an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of Mafco Holdings Inc. ("Holdings"). On June 15, 1995,
Holdings and Mafco Consolidated Group Inc. ("Mafco") formerly known as Abex
Inc., consummated an agreement and plan of merger (the "Mafco Merger
Agreement") which was entered into on January 6, 1995. The Mafco Merger
Agreement provided for, among other things, the merger of Mafco and C & F
Merger Inc., a subsidiary of Holdings and the indirect parent of the Company
and Consolidated Cigar Corporation. As a result of the merger, the Company
became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Mafco.

                          MAFCO WORLDWIDE CORPORATION

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

         The Company's revenues are principally derived from sales of licorice
extract to the tobacco and confectionery industries for use as a flavoring
ingredient. Sales are recorded when shipment is made to customers.

Three month period ended June 30, 1996 compared with the three month period
ended July 2, 1995

         Net sales in 1996 and 1995 were $26.7 million and $28.4 million,
respectively, a decrease of $1.7 million or 6.1%. The decrease was due to
lower shipment volume to the Company's domestic and foreign customers
primarily in the tobacco industry due to competition from other licorice
producers, decreased demand for licorice and the timing of shipments to
customers.

         Cost of sales was $14.3 million and $16.5 million in 1996 and 1995,
respectively, a decrease of $2.2 million or 13.3%. The decrease in cost of
sales was primarily due to the decrease in sales volume and lower material
costs. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 53.7% in 1996
from 58.2% in 1995 primarily due to lower raw material costs and an insurance
recovery related to damaged inventory.

         Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $2.5
million and $2.3 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively. As a percentage of
net sales, SG&A expenses were 9.5% in 1996 and 8.2% in 1995. This percentage
increase was primarily due to the lower sales in 1996.

         Interest expense, net was $3.0 million in 1996 and $3.3 million in
1995, a decrease of $0.3 million or 8.2%. The decrease was due to lower
average debt outstanding in 1996 as compared to 1995.

         The provision for income taxes as a percentage of earnings before
income taxes was 38.8% in 1996 and in 1995.

Six month period ended June 30, 1996 compared with the six month period ended
July 2, 1995

         Net sales in 1996 and 1995 were $52.7 million and $55.3 million,
respectively, a decrease of $2.6 million or 4.7%. The decrease was due to
lower shipment volume to the Company's customers primarily in the tobacco
industry as a result of competition from other licorice producers, decreased
demand and the timing of shipments to customers.

         Cost of sales was $29.4 million and $32.6 million in 1996 and 1995,
respectively, a decrease of $3.2 million or 9.8%. The decrease in cost of
sales was due to the decrease in sales volume and lower raw material costs. As
a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 55.8% in 1996 from 58.9%
in 1995 primarily due to lower raw material costs and an insurance recovery
related to damaged inventory.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


         SG&A expenses were $4.9 million and $4.5 million in 1996 and 1995,
respectively. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 9.3% in 1996
and 8.1% in 1995. This percentage decrease was primarily due to lower sales in
1996.

         Interest expense, net was $6.1 million in 1996, and $6.7 million in
1995, a decrease of $0.6 million or 8.3%. The decrease was due to lower
average debt outstanding in 1996 as compared to 1995.

         The provision for income taxes as a percentage of earnings before
income taxes was 39.0% in 1996 and 38.8% in 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's net cash flows from operating activities were $8.9
million and $6.9 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and
July 2, 1995, respectively. The increase of $2.0 million in 1996 was due to
higher net earnings in 1996, a lower increase in accounts receivable in 1996,
and a larger increase in accrued liabilities and other, net due to the timing
of payments which were offset in part by a smaller inventory reduction in
1996. The Company's working capital requirements, especially for accounts
receivables and inventory are affected by customer demand, by current and
prospective supplies of raw materials and raw material prices. The current
inventory of $42.8 million is slightly lower than the Company's optimal level
set to meet customer requirements. Raw material purchases have slowed in the
past several months due to transportation delays, but are expected to increase
in the second half of 1996. Management expects that inventory levels may
continue to fluctuate in the future as the Company takes advantage of
opportunities to purchase quality raw materials at favorable prices while
maintaining its policy of purchasing licorice root from all available sources
to maintain relationships with its suppliers.

         Capital expenditures for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996
and July 2, 1995 were $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively. While the
Company has not made any material commitments for capital expenditures, they
are expected to be approximately $1.5 million for the remainder of 1996.

         Under the Senior Credit agreement, the Company may borrow up to $25.0
million under a revolving credit facility. At June 30, 1996 approximately $1.0
million was borrowed under the facility and $3.3 million of this facility had
been reserved to support lender guarantees for outstanding letters of credit.
Management believes the remaining availability of approximately $20.7 million
under the Company's revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet the
Company's working capital, capital expenditure and debt service needs through
the end of 1996.
