      HMG Worldwide Corporation (the "Company") is a multi-disciplinary
marketing solutions agency, incorporated in 1984, providing in-store and online
marketing services to major consumer goods manufacturers and retailers for
brands, categories, departments, and stores. The Company's operations are
conducted principally through five operating whollyowned subsidiaries and a
recently acquired 80%- owned subsidiary being, respectively, HMG Worldwide
In-Store Marketing, Inc. ("HMG"), HMG Intermark Worldwide Manufacturing, Inc.
("HMG Intermark"), Display Depot, Inc. ("DDI"), HMG Griffith, Inc. ("HMG

Note 4 - Convertible Debentures and Convertible Notes

      In February 2000, one institutional holder of the Company's Convertible
Notes elected to convert $1.0 million of the outstanding $5.0 million
Convertible Notes into Common Stock at $4.00 per share pursuant to the terms of
the notes. As a consequence of the conversion, the Company issued 266,675 shares
of Common Stock, inclusive of accrued interest, and retired $1.0 million of the
Notes.

      On March 15, 2000, the Company issued $1.5 million 7% Convertible Notes
Due March 15, 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 $9.60 per share, provided that if the Company does not achieve
certain maintenance criteria, based upon revenues and pre-tax income, the
conversion price per share will be the lesser of $9.60 or 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 subject to a maximum
issuance of 375,000 shares, taken together. The Convertible Notes were issued
through a private placement; however, the Company has undertaken to register
under the Securities Act of 1933 for resale by the holders of the Convertible
Notes, the shares which may be acquired upon the conversion of the Convertible
Notes.

                   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

      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. With Ego Media, the Company can provide its
services wherever purchase decisions are made.

      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. 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 three months ended March 31, 2000 grew
organically 20.2% to $23.4 million as compared to $19.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The Company generated net income of $420,000, or
$0.03 basic earnings per share, net of the loss from operations of Ego Media of
$160,000 and the amortization expense of $114,000 for deferred financing costs
associated with the new financing and credit facilities consummated in August
1999. The Company generated net income of $531,000, or $0.05 per basic earnings
per share for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

      In February 2000, one institutional holder of the Company's convertible
notes elected to convert $1.0 million of the outstanding $5.0 million
Convertible Notes into Common Stock at $4.00 per share pursuant to the terms of
the notes. As a consequence of the conversion, the Company issued 266,675 shares
of Common Stock, inclusive of accrued interest, and retired $1.0 million of the
Notes.

      On March 15, 2000, the Company issued $1.5 million 7% Convertible Notes
Due March 15, 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 of $9.60 per share, provided that if the Company does not
achieve certain maintenance criteria, based upon revenues and pre-tax income,
the conversion price per share will be the lesser of $9.60 or 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 subject to a maximum
issuance of 375,000 shares, taken together. The Convertible Notes were issued
through a private placement; however, the Company has undertaken to register
under the Securities Act of 1933 for resale by the holders of the Convertible
Notes, the shares which may be acquired upon the conversion of the Convertible
Notes.

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

      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 March 31, 2000 as Compared to the
  Three Months Ended March 31, 1999

      Net revenues increased $3.9 million, or 20.2%, to $23.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $19.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The $3.9 million increase in net revenues from
period to period was due principally to a net increase in marketing expenditures
of the Company's clients during the period as the Company was engaged in the
national roll out of several new merchandising programs during 2000.

      Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $6.7 million as
compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase
in gross profit of $1.0 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 March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company's gross margin was 28.8% and 29.5%,
respectively. The gross margin decrease of 0.7% was due principally to the net
effect of (i) an favorable production revenue mix resulting in a 0.8% increase,
offset by (ii) an increase in factory overhead expenses of 1.5%. 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 March 31, 2000 was $5.7 million as compared to $4.9 million for the
comparable period in 1999. The increase in SG&A of $786,000 from period to
period was principally due to the addition of Ego Media's SG&A of $325,000,
amortization expense of $114,000 for deferred financing costs associated with
the new financing and credit facilities and an increased in other general
expenses of $347,000.

      For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company generated interest
income of $1,000 as compared to $69,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1999. The decrease was principally attributable to a decrease in cash and cash
equivalents invested in interest-bearing marketable securities and commercial
paper from period to period.

      Interest expense was $634,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as
compared to $376,000 for the three months ended March 31, 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 $420,000, or $0.03 basic earnings per share, for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 as compared to a net income of $531,000, or $0.05 basic
earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

Stockholders' Equity

      Stockholders' equity increased $3.5 million to $17.1 million at March 31,
2000 from $13.6 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in stockholders'
equity was due to (i) net income of $420,000, (ii) the issuance of 266,675
shares of Common Stock and the retirement of the outstanding convertible
debentures of $1.0 million, net of expenses, and (iii) net proceeds of $2.1
million derived from the exercise of stock options and warrants.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
          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 2014.

      The Company's income tax provision for the three months ended March 31,
2000 was $9,000 as compared to $13,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1999. The income tax provisions 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 March 31, 2000, the Company's aggregate backlog was approximately $61.4
million as compared to $48.9 million and $48.8 million at December 31, 1999 and
March 31, 1999, respectively. Of such aggregate backlog at March 31, 2000,
approximately 41% was attributable to three clients. The Company anticipates
that substantially all such backlog at March 31, 2000 will be filled during the
next twelve months. In addition to the $61.4 million backlog at March 31, 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 March 31, 2000 was $19.8 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 March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999
aggregated $577,000 and $6.0 million, respectively. The Company's decrease in
cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.4 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 was due principally to the net effects of (i) net cash used
in operations of $9.7 million and (ii) capital expenditures of $459,000, 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 $2.1 million, and
(v) net proceeds of $1.3 million derived from the Company's credit facilities.
The Company's negative cash flows from operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 resulted principally from a net increase in (i) accounts
receivable $3.8 million and (ii) inventory of $7.3 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2000 the balance
outstanding under the term loan was $2.9 million.

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

      In February 2000, one institutional holder of the Company's Convertible
Notes elected to convert $1.0 million of the outstanding $5.0 million
Convertible Notes into Common Stock at $4.00 per share pursuant to the terms of
the notes. As a consequence of the conversion, the Company issued 266,675 shares
of Common Stock, inclusive of accrued interest, and retired $1.0 million of the
Notes.

      On March 15, 2000, the Company issued $1.5 million 7% Convertible Notes
Due March 15, 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 of $9.60 per share, provided that if the Company does not
achieve certain maintenance criteria, based upon revenues and pre-tax income,
the conversion price per share will be the lesser of $9.60 or 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 subject to a maximum
issuance of 375,000 shares, taken together. The Convertible Notes were issued
through a private placement; however, the Company has undertaken to register
under the Securities Act of 1933 for resale by the holders of the Convertible
Notes, the shares which may be acquired upon the conversion of the Convertible
Notes.

      The Company's working capital at March 31, 2000 was $9.7 million,
inclusive of borrowing of $22.7 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.

      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.
