Note 3 - Income Taxes

     At December 31, 1996, the Company had net operating loss  carryforwards  of
approximately  $27.5 million which expire during the years 2001 through 2011. As

equal to the  entire  amount  of the  deferred  tax asset  arising  from the net
operating  loss  carryforwards  and  other  temporary   differences,   has  been

Note 4 - Stockholder's Equity

     In December 1996, the Company  initiated a private  placement ("HMG Private
Placement")  whereby  the  Company  offered  for sale up to 2 million  shares of
common  stock at $1.00  per  share.  Pursuant  to the  terms of the HMG  Private
Placement, as of December 31, 1996 the Company sold 377,500 shares of its common
stock at $1.00 per share from which it derived  net  proceeds  of  approximately
$377,000. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the company sold an additional
375,000  shares of common  stock  and  derived  net  proceeds  of  approximately
$352,000. All stock issued pursuant to the terms of the HMG Private Placement is
restricted stock which has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as  amended  ("the  Securities  Act"),  and may not be resold by the  respective
purchasers  thereof  absent   registration  under  the  Securities  Act  or  the
availability of an applicable exemption from such registration statement.

    During the three  months  ended June 30, 1997,  the Company  contributed  an
aggregate  of 159,561  shares of common stock to the HMG  Worldwide  Corporation
Capital Accumulation Plan maintained for the benefit of the Company's employees.
The fair market value of the common  stock was $1.00 per share.  The shares were
contributed  without  registration  in reliance upon the  exemption  provided by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

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

Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 as Compared to the
  Three Months Ended June 30, 1996

    Net revenues  were $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to $13.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The decrease
in net  revenues  from period to period was due  principally  to a reduction  in
capital and marketing  expenditures of one significant  client of  approximately
$3.2  million,  offset by, the  increase in  marketing  expenditures  of another
significant  client of  approximately  $1.8  million.  The increase in marketing
expenditures of one significant  client was principally the result of a national
rollout of a new merchandising program. The decrease in net revenues realized by
the Company from one significant client was principally the result of a national
rollout that occurred in 1996.

    Gross  profit for the three  months  ended June 30, 1997 was $3.2 million as
compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease
in gross  profit of $87,000  was  principally  a result of the  decrease  in net
sales,  offset by an increase in gross  margin.  For the three months ended June
30, 1997 and 1996, the Company's gross margin was 25.3% and 23.8%, respectively.
The gross margin increase was due principally to a favorable  production revenue
mix  resulting  in a 4.5%  increase,  offset  by the  underabsorption  of  fixed
overhead  expenses  as a  percentage  of net  revenues  of 3.0%.  The  favorable
production  revenue mix was  principally the result of an increase in the number
of programs manufactured and assembled at the Company's Pennsylvania  facilities
and the increased operational efficiencies on the specific programs shipped.

        Selling,  general and administrative  expense for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 was $2.9  million as compared to $3.3  million for the  comparable
period in 1996.  The decrease of $361,000 from period to period was  principally
due to (i) a reduction in personnel costs of $52,000 and (ii) decreased spending
in other general expenses.

        For the three months ended June 30, 1997, the Company generated interest
income of $74,000 as  compared to $77,000  for the three  months  ended June 30,
1996. This decrease was principally attributable to a reduction in cash and cash
equivalents  invested in interest-bearing  marketable  securities and commercial
paper from period to period.

        Interest  expense was  $268,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997
as compared to $187,000 for the three  months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase
in interest expense was principally due to the increased average borrowings from
period to period.

        As a result of the foregoing  factors,  the Company generated net income
of  $103,000,  or $0.01 per share for the three  months  ended June 30,  1997 as
compared  to a net loss of  $85,000,  or $0.01 per share,  for the three  months
ended June 30, 1996.

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

Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 as Compared to the
  Six Months Ended June 30, 1996

        Net revenues  were $22.9  million for the six months ended June 30, 1997
as  compared  to $24.5  million  for the six  months  ended June 30,  1996.  The
decrease  in net  revenues  from  period  to  period  was due  principally  to a
reduction in capital and marketing  expenditures of two  significant  clients of
approximately  $1.6  million  and $3.5  million,  offset  by,  the  increase  in
marketing  expenditures  of  another  significant  client of $2.7  million.  The
increase in marketing expenditures of one significant client was principally the
result of a national rollout of a new merchandising program. The decrease in net
revenues realized by the Company from one significant client was principally the
result of the client's  reduction in its capital and marketing  expenditures for
budgetary and other reasons. Reduced shipments to this client may continue if it
continues  such budgetary  reductions  and deferrals.  There can be no assurance
that net revenues and shipments to this client will resume at historical levels.
The decrease in net revenues from another significant client was principally the
result of a national rollout that occurred in 1996.

        Gross  profit for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $5.9 million as
compared to $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in
gross  profit of  $809,000  was  principally  a result of the  increase in gross
margin.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,  the  Company's  gross
margin was 26.0% and 20.9%,  respectively.  The gross  margin  increase  was due
principally to a favorable  production revenue mix resulting in a 7.2% increase,
offset by the  underabsorption of fixed overhead expenses as a percentage of net
revenues of 2.1%.  The  favorable  production  revenue mix was  principally  the
result of an increase in the number of programs  manufactured  and  assembled at
the Company's Pennsylvania facilities and the increased operational efficiencies
on the specific programs shipped.

        Selling,  general and  administrative  expense for the six months  ended
June 30, 1997 was $5.7  million as compared to $6.4  million for the  comparable
period in 1996.  The decrease of $665,000 from period to period was  principally
due to (i) a reduction in personnel  costs of  $176,000,  (ii) the  discontinued
European  operations  of $99,000 and (iii)  decreased  spending in other general
expenses.

     For the six months  ended June 30,  1997,  the Company  generated  interest
income of $147,000 as  compared  to $179,000  for the six months  ended June 30,
1996. This decrease was principally attributable to a reduction in cash and cash
equivalents  invested in interest-bearing  marketable  securities and commercial
paper from period to period.

     Interest  expense was  $488,000  for the six months  ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to $378,000  for the six months  ended June 30,  1996.  The increase in
interest  expense was principally due to the increased  average  borrowings from
period to period.

        In 1994, the Company received shares of common stock of a client in lieu
of payment for services rendered to such client. In March 1997, the Company sold
the shares of common  stock and derived net  proceeds  from the sale of $356,000
and generated a net gain of $267,000 which was recorded as other income.

     As a result of the foregoing  factors,  the Company generated net income of
$128,000, or $0.01 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared
to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.19 per share, for the six months ended June
30, 1996.

 Stockholders' Equity

     Stockholders'  equity increased  approximately  $640,000 to $5.8 million at
June 30,  1997  from  $5.2  million  at  December  31,  1996.  The  increase  in
stockholder's equity was principally due to (i)net proceeds derived from the HMG
Private Placement of $352,000, (ii) the contribution of 159,561 shares of common
stock, valued at $1.00 per share, to the HMG Worldwide Capital Accumulation Plan
and (iii) net income of $128,000.

Income Taxes

        At December  31, 1996,  the Company has  available  approximately  $27.5
million in net operating loss  carryforwards  which expire during the years 2001
through 2011.

     The  Company's  income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 1997
was $10,000 as compared to $11,000 for the six months ended June 30,  1996.  The
income  tax  provision  for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1997 and 1996 was
comprised principally of state and local taxes.

Inflation

        The  effect  of  inflation  on the  Company's  operations  has not  been
significant to date.

Backlog

     At June 30, 1997, the Company's  aggregate backlog was approximately  $13.3
million as compared to $15.6  million and $17.0 million at December 31, 1996 and
June 30, 1996,  respectively.  Of such aggregate backlog at June 30, 1997, 21.4%
was attributable to two clients.  The Company anticipates that substantially all
such backlog at June 30, 1997 will be filled during the next twelve  months.  In
addition to the $13.3 million  backlog at June 30, 1997,  the  Company's  supply
contract  with the Foster  Grant Group L.P.  ("Foster  Grant")  requires  Foster
Grant, subject to certain limitations,  to purchase at least 70% of its in-store
merchandising  displays  from the  Company  with  average  annual  purchases  to
aggregate no less than $2.5  million.  The  aggregate  value of the Foster Grant
supply  contract  at June 30,  1997 was  $27.4  million,  of which  the  Company
anticipates that $2.5 million will be shipped within the next twelve months. Due
to quarter to quarter fluctuations in the Company's backlog levels, attributable
to the timing,  nature and size of its  merchandising  system  programs  for its
clients,  such  backlog  levels are not  necessarily  an indicator of future net
revenue levels.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 aggregated
$6.9 million and $6.9 million,  respectively. The Company's decrease in cash and
cash  equivalents of  approximately  $37,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997 was due principally to the net effect of (i) net cash used in operations of
$2.8 million (ii) capital  expenditures  of $279,000 and (iii) reduction of debt
obligations  of $288,000,  offset by (iv)  proceeds  from  borrowings  under the
Company's  revolving  line of credit with its bank lender of $2.6  million,  (v)
proceeds  from the  sale of an  investment  of  $356,000  and (vi) net  proceeds
derived from the HMG Private Placement of $352,000.  The Company's negative cash
flows  from  operations  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1997  resulted
principally from (i) an increase in assets of $2.6 million and (ii)a decrease in
general liabilities of $539,000.

        The  Company  has  secured  a  $12.0  million  Credit  Agreement  with a
financial  institution in the form of a revolving credit and term loan facility.
The Credit  Agreement  provides for a secured  revolving  credit  facility which
advances  up to the sum of (i) 85% of  eligible  accounts  receivable,  (ii) the
lesser of 60% of eligible  finished  goods  inventory  or $750,000 and (iii) the
Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Credit Agreement
is secured by a lien on and a security  interest  in the  Company's  cash,  cash
equivalents,   marketable  securities,   accounts  receivable,   inventory,  and
equipment  and all other  tangible  and  intangible  assets  and a pledge of the
common stock of each of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries.

           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

        Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the institution's
prime  rate plus 1% per  annum.  The  Company  is  required  to pay a  quarterly
commitment  fee at the rate of one half of 1% per  annum  of the  average  daily
unused amount of funds available.  Additionally,  the Credit Agreement  contains
certain customary  affirmative and negative  covenants which require the Company
to maintain certain financial ratios, and, among other things restrict,  (i) the
declaration   or  payment  of   dividends,(ii)   the  incurrence  of  additional
indebtedness  and (iii) the sale of certain  assets.  As of June 30,  1997,  the
Company was in compliance with all financial  covenants of the Credit Agreement,
as amended.

        Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the lender can advance up
to $1.6  million  in the form of a term  loan  collateralized  by the  Company's
current  and future  real  estate and  equipment.  The term loan  portion of the
Credit  Agreement is  amortized on a sixty month basis with a final  payment due
upon  the  termination  of  the  Credit  Agreement  and  bears  interest  at the
institution's  prime  rate plus 1% per  annum.  At June 30,  1997,  the  balance
outstanding on the term loan component of the Credit Agreement was approximately
$300,000.

        The  Company's  working  capital at June  30,1997  was a deficit of $2.5
million,  inclusive of borrowings  of $12.1  million  pursuant to the three year
Credit  Agreement.  The  working  capital  deficit  was due  principally  to (i)
negative  cash flows from  operations  during 1996 and the six months ended June
30, 1997 and (ii)  increased  borrowing  under the Company's  credit  facilities
whereby such proceeds were used in part to finance capital  expenditures of $1.7
million,  inclusive  of  $1.1  million  in  one-time  facility  renovations  and
equipment upgrades at the Company's Pennsylvania  production facility during the
past  eighteen  months.  Due  to  the  working  capital  deficit,   the  Company
experiences  temporary liquidity problems from time to time due to the timing of
cash flows while the Company is in production  and building  inventory.  However
management  believes that  significant cost savings will be realized through the
implementation  of its  1996  strategic  plan  whereby  the  Company  moved  and
consolidated its manufacturing facilities in Reading, Pennsylvania, restructured
the Company's  New York and Chicago  offices,  upgraded the Company's  injection
molding  division  and  closed  its  European  office.  Furthermore,  management
