Note 1 - Consolidated Financial Statements

     HMG Worldwide Corporation (the "Company") is a multi-disciplinary marketing

("HMG"), HMG Intermark Worldwide Manufacturing, Inc. ("HMG Intermark"), Display
Depot, Inc. ("DDI"), HMG Griffith Worldwide In-Store Marketing, Inc. ("HMG

management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows at June 30, 2000 and for all periods presented have been made.

     In May, 2000, the Company consummated the acquisitions of Mark Zeff

"Zeff" brand or name. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company issued
316,750 shares of Common Stock, valued at $2.50 per share. Zeff Consulting

Note 5 - Convertible Debentures and Convertible Notes

     During the six months ended June 30, 2000, one institutional holder of the
Company's Convertible Notes elected to convert in a series of conversions an
aggregate of $2.5 million of the then outstanding Convertible Notes issued by
the Company. As a consequence of the conversion, the Company issued 919,445
shares of Common Stock, inclusive of accrued interest, and retired $2.5 million
of the Convertible Notes.

     On March 22, 2000, the Company issued $1.5 million 7% Convertible Notes Due
March 22, 2003, as amended, to an institutional investor. The principal amount
of the Convertible Notes is convertible into shares of the Company's Common
Stock at a conversion price in an amount equal to the average of the two lowest
closing prices of the Common Stock during the 30 consecutive trading days
immediately prior to conversion. The Convertible Notes were issued through a
private placement; however, the Company has registered the underlying shares
which may be acquired upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes under the
Securities Act of 1933.

                   HMG WORLDWIDE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

     HMG Worldwide ("the Company") is a multi-disciplinary marketing solutions
agency. Initially, and until recently, the Company's vision was to be the
preeminent provider of in-store marketing services to major consumer goods
manufacturers and retailers for brands, categories, departments, and stores.

     The Company succeeded in its original vision and has grown to become a
leading agency for in-store marketing services. The blue-chip clients that were
acquired during the Company's initial growth remain today as the core of an
enviable client list. Among the Company's valued clients are Clairol, Coca-Cola,
CVS, Hallmark, Kmart, Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, Sara Lee, Target, Wal*Mart
and many others.

     To adapt to the changing economy and the expansion of e-commerce, the
company has evolved its vision to capitalize on the growth of the Internet and
new media.

     Until recently, the Company's vision has been to increase its clients'
sales, increase labor efficiency, enhance retail branding, environment and
communication at the point-of-sale, and improve inventory management through
unique in-store branding, marketing, and merchandising systems. In fulfilling
its original vision, the Company has provided research, creative, design,
engineering, and manufacturing support services to its clients. Over the course
of decades of experience, the Company has developed an intimate knowledge of its
clients' brands and, more importantly, has compiled unequaled research on their
consumers' buying habits.

Ego Media, Mark Zeff Consulting Group, Inc. and The Glade Corp.

     In September of 1999, the Company acquired an 80% interest in Ego Media.
Ego Media is a web-consulting, web-design, and web-branding group focused on
creating new-media marketing campaigns and online branding initiatives that
produce results for its clients.

     In May, 2000, the Company acquired Zeff Consulting, a technology-based
architectural, digital and brand design firm, and a majority interest in The
Glade Corp. The Glade Corp. is a joint venture with Mark Zeff, President of Zeff
Consulting, to design, market and sell personal care, lifestyle and other
products under the "Zeff" brand or name.

     The Company's vision is focused on the convergence of online and in-store
marketing. The Company will leverage decades-old client relationships with the
web-consulting expertise of Ego Media and the integrated design and digital
services of Zeff Consulting. With Ego Media and Zeff Consulting, the Company can
provide its services wherever purchase decisions are made. The Company offers an
advantage over its competition by offering seamless multi-disciplinary marketing
solutions that cross the border between "brick and mortar" and "click and
mortar" marketing.

Recent Developments

     The Company's revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased
32.6% to $53.4 million as compared to $40.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. The Company generated net income of $847,000, or $0.06 basic
earnings per share as compared to net income of $641,000, or $0.06 per basic
earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2000, one institutional holder of the
Company's Convertible Notes elected to convert an aggregate of $2.5 million in a
series of conversions of the outstanding Convertible Notes issued by the
Company. As a consequence of the conversion, the Company issued 919,445 shares
of Common Stock, inclusive of accrued interest, and retired $2.5 million of the
Convertible Notes.

     On March 22, 2000, the Company issued $1.5 million 7% Convertible Notes Due
March 22, 2003, as amended, to an institutional investor. The principal amount
of the Convertible Notes is convertible into shares of the Company's Common

immediately prior to conversion. The Convertible Notes were issued through a
private placement; however, the Company has registered the underlying shares
which may be acquired upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes under the
Securities Act of 1933.

     In July 2000, the Company issued 700,000 shares of Common Stock to an
institutional investor in a private transaction. The Company received gross
proceeds of $3.5 million as a result of the transaction.

     Management believes that each of the above accomplishments and its
expansion into electronic commerce positions the Company well as a leading,
innovative agency providing multi-disciplinary solutions to achieving results
for its clients wherever purchase decisions are made and having the appropriate
resources to support each of its clients initiatives. Furthermore, the Company
will continue to seek to acquire strategic businesses which will expand the
Company's retail and e-tail products and services, provide improved distribution
and reduce operating and manufacturing costs.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 as Compared to the
  Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

     Net revenues increased $9.2 million, or 44.2%, to $30.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $20.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. The $9.2 million increase in net revenues from
period to period was due principally to a net increase in marketing expenditures
of the Company's clients of $2.8 million, a national roll out of a new program
from a new client of $4.9 million, and revenues from the Company's "e-business",
Ego Media and Zeff Consulting, of $1.5 million during the period.

     Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $8.0 million as
compared to $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase
in gross profit of $1.8 million was principally a result of the increase in net
revenues, net of a decline in gross margin for the quarter. For the three months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company's gross margin was 26.8% and 29.8%,
respectively. The gross margin decrease of 3.0% was due principally to the
effect of (i) an unfavorable production revenue mix resulting in a 2.1% increase
and (ii) an increase in factory overhead expenses of 0.9%. The increase in
factory overhead expense, as a percentage of revenues, was principally the
result of the Company's new warehouse and distribution center opened in
September 1999 to handle the increased warehousing and distribution needs of
many of the Company's retail clients.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 was $6.8 million as compared to $5.7 million for the
comparable period in 1999. The increase in SG&A of $1.1 million from period to
period was principally due to the addition of Ego Media's and Zeff Consulting's
SG&A of $767,000 and an increase in other general expenses of $309,000.

     For the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company generated interest
income of $73,000 through investments in interest-bearing marketable securities
and commercial paper. During the three months ended June 30, 2000, the Company
did not invest in interest-bearing marketable securities and commercial paper.

     Interest expense was $803,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to $433,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in
interest expense was principally due to the combination of an increase in
average borrowings from period to period and an increase in the interest rate
incurred through the Company's credit facilities.

     As a consequence of the foregoing factors, the Company generated net income
of $427,000, or $0.03 basic earnings per share, for the three months ended June
30, 2000 as compared to a net income of $110,000, or $0.01 basic earnings per
share, for the three months ended June 30, 1999.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 as Compared to the

     Net revenues increased $13.1 million, or 32.6%, to $53.4 million for the

Company's clients of $6.5 million, a national roll out of a new program from a
new client of $4.9 million, and revenues from the Company's "e- business", Ego
Media and Zeff Consulting, of $1.7 million during the period.

     Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $14.8 million as
compared to $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase
in gross profit of $2.9 million was principally a result of the increase in net
revenues, net of a decline in gross margin for the quarter. For the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company's gross margin was 27.7% and 29.6%,
respectively. The gross margin decrease of 1.9% was due principally to the
effect of an increase in factory overhead expenses. The increase in factory
overhead expense, as a percentage of revenues, was principally the result of the
Company's new warehouse and distribution center opened in September 1999 to
handle the increased warehousing and distribution needs of many of the Company's
retail clients.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 was $12.5 million as compared to $10.6 million for the
comparable period in 1999. The increase in SG&A of $1.9 million from period to
period was principally due to the addition of Ego Media's and Zeff Consulting's
SG&A of $1.1 million and an increase in other general expenses of $771,000.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company generated interest
income of $142,000 through investments in interest-bearing marketable securities
and commercial paper. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company did
not invest in interest-bearing marketable securities and commercial paper.

     Interest expense was $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to $809,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in
interest expense was principally due to the combination of an increase in
average borrowings from period to period and an increase in the interest rate
incurred through the Company's credit facilities.

     As a consequence of the foregoing factors, the Company generated net income
of $847,000, or $0.06 basic earnings per share, for the six months ended June
30, 2000 as compared to a net income of $641,000, or $0.06 basic earnings per
share, for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

Stockholders' Equity

     Stockholders' equity increased $6.2 million to $19.8 million at June 30,
2000 from $13.6 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in stockholders'
equity was due to (i) net income of $847,000, (ii) the issuance of 919,445
shares of Common Stock and the retirement of the outstanding convertible
debentures and accrued interest of $2.7 million, net of expenses, (iii) the
issuance of 316,750 shares of Common Stock valued at $2.50 per share in
connection with the acquisition of Zeff Consulting, $792,000, and (iv) net
proceeds of $1.9 million derived from the exercise of stock options and
warrants.

          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

Income Taxes

     At December 31, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of
approximately $34.6 million which expire during the years 2001 through 2013.

     The Company's income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2000
was $8,000 as compared to $1,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The
Company's income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$17,000 as compared to $14,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
income tax provisions for each of the periods were 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, 2000, the Company's aggregate backlog was approximately $69.1
million as compared to $48.9 million and $46.7 million at December 31, 1999 and
June 30, 1999, respectively. Of such aggregate backlog at June 30, 2000,
approximately 33% was attributable to one client. The Company anticipates that
substantially all such backlog at June 30, 2000 will be filled during the next
twelve months. In addition to the $69.1 million backlog at June 30, 2000, 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, 2000 was $19.4 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, 2000 and December 31, 1999 aggregated
$535,000 and $6.0 million, respectively. The Company's decrease in cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000
was due principally to the net effects of (i) net cash used in operations of
$12.0 million and (ii) capital expenditures of $1.0 million, offset by (iii)
proceeds derived from the sale of $1.5 million, 7% Convertible Notes, (iv)
proceeds from exercise of stock options and warrants of $1.9 million, and (v)
net proceeds of $4.1 million derived from the Company's credit facilities. The
Company's negative cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30,
2000 resulted principally from a net increase in (i) accounts receivable of $9.0
million and (ii) inventory of $6.6 million.

     The Company maintains a $35.0 million Credit Agreement with a financial
institution in the form of a revolving credit and term loan facility. Borrowings
under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the institution's prime rate plus
0.25% per annum or, at the option of the Company, the Eurodollar rate plus 2.5%
per annum. The Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.25%
per annum of the average daily unused amount of the 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) declaration of dividends, (ii) the
incurrence of additional indebtedness and (iii) the sale of certain assets. As
of June 30, 2000, 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 advanced $3.1
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 quarterly basis over five years and bears interest at the
institution's prime rate plus 0.25% per annum. At June 30, 2000, the balance
outstanding under the term loan was $2.8 million.

                   HMG WORLDWIDE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued

     During the six months ended June 30, 2000, one institutional holder of the
Company's Convertible Notes elected to convert an aggregate of $2.5 million in a
series of conversions of the then outstanding Convertible Notes issued by the
Company. As a consequence of the conversion, the Company issued 919,445 shares
of Common Stock, inclusive of accrued interest, and retired $2.5 million of the
Convertible Notes.

     On March 22, 2000, the Company issued $1.5 million 7% Convertible Notes Due
March 22, 2003 to an institutional investor. The principal amount of the
Convertible Notes is convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock at a
conversion price in an amount equal to the average of the two lowest closing
prices of the Common Stock during the 30 consecutive trading days immediately
prior to conversion. The Convertible Notes were issued through a private
placement; however, the Company has registered the underlying shares which may
be acquired upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes under the Securities
Act of 1933.

     The Company's working capital at June 30, 2000 was $9.8 million, inclusive
of borrowing of $26.0 million pursuant to the five-year Credit Agreement. The
working capital needs of the Company continue to expand as increases in revenues
direct to retailers require the Company to maintain a substantial investment in
inventory to manage new merchandising programs, support existing merchandising
programs, new store openings and remodeling activities engaged by the retailer.
From time to time, the Company experiences temporary liquidity problems due to
the timing of cash flows while the Company is in production and building
inventory. Additionally, the Company's working capital was deployed in the
recently completed capital expenditure program whereby the Company developed a
series of proprietary products that can be marketed across a variety of
different clients and retail store environments. In addition, as the Company
expands its Internet and e-commerce, HMGe division, the timing of cash flows for
this division will require support through the Company's existing credit
facilities and other potential resources.

     In March 2000, the Company retained an investment banker, Friedman,
Billings and Ramsey, to advise the Company in the financing of its Internet
expansion as well as the increased working capital requirements of its
traditional core in- store marketing business. The Company may seek to raise
additional capital in order to provide a more rapid growth and expansion of its
HMGe division as the Company believes that there are significant opportunities
to grow this business unit, both organically and through strategic acquisitions.

     In July 2000, the Company issued 700,000 shares of Common Stock to an
institutional investor in a private transaction. The Company received gross
proceeds of $3.5 million as a result of the transaction.

     The Company's management believes that its current cash and cash
equivalents, its backlog, anticipated future cash flows from operations,
availability under its Credit Agreement and issuance of Convertible Notes will
be sufficient to support its debt service requirements and its other capital and
operating needs for the next fiscal year. Management believes the Company's
investment in a strategic e-commerce division, an expanded client base and
future cash flows from operations developed by the Company provide an important
base for future revenues and liquidity; however, there can be no assurance that
such belief will prove to be correct, that additional financing will not be
required, or that any such financing will be available on commercially
reasonable terms or otherwise.

     The above statements and certain other statements contained in this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q are based on current expectations. Such statements
are forward looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include the
following (I) general economic conditions at retail, (ii) competitive market
influences, (iii) client budgetary restrictions, (iv) delays in shipment of
scheduled programs to clients, (v) delay in or inability to expand the Company's
client base and/or (vi) the loss of or reduction in spending of existing
clients.
