                SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      Certain  statements in this  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q,  particularly
under Items 1-3, constitute  "forward-looking  statements" within the meaning of
Section  21 of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934.  Such  forward-looking
statements  involve  known and unknown  risks,  uncertainties  and other factors
which may cause the actual  results,  performance,  or achievements of Manhattan
Bagel Company,  Inc. ("the Company") to be materially  different from any future
results,   performance   or   achievements,   expressed   or   implied  by  such
forward-looking statements.

      The  Company,  filed  for  protection  under  Chapter  11 of  the  Federal
Bankruptcy Code in November 1997 and is operating as a debtor-in-possession. The
Company's  success is highly dependent on its ability to structure and implement
a plan of reorganization and to emerge from the Chapter 11 proceedings.

      The Company is dependent upon the success of existing and newly franchised
and Company-owned  stores, and alternative  distribution outlets; the success of
the Company, its master franchisees and area developers in getting new stores or
other  retail  locations  opened;  the  ability  of the  Company  and its master
franchisees  to attract new  qualified  franchisees;  and such other  factors as
competition, commodity pricing and economic conditions.

      The opening and success of Manhattan  Bagel Company  stores will depend on
various  factors,  including the  availability  of suitable  store sites and the
negotiation  of  acceptable  lease terms for new  locations,  the ability of the
Company or its franchisees to obtain construction and other necessary permits in
a timely manner, the ability to meet construction  schedules,  the financial and
other  capabilities  of the Company's  franchisees and master  franchisees,  and
general economic and business conditions.

      The  Company's  success is partially  dependent on its ability to attract,
retain  and  contract  with  suitable  franchisees  and  the  ability  of  these
franchisees to open and operate their stores successfully.

      The Company's  business may also be subject to changes in consumer  taste,
national,  regional and local economic  conditions,  demographic  trends and the
type,  number and location of  competing  businesses.  Competition  in the bagel
industry is  increasing  significantly  with an  increasing  number of national,
regional and local stores  competing for franchisees and store locations as well
as customers.

      The Company's  future  results may also be  negatively  impacted by future
pricing of the key ingredients for its frozen bagel dough.

      The success of Manhattan  Bagel Company units in alternative  distribution
locations, including convenience stores, supermarkets,  military bases and other
non-traditional  locations,  will depend,  in addition to the factors  affecting
traditional franchisee and Company-owned stores, on the success of the locations
in which they are located.

      The  openings  and  remodelings  of  Manhattan  Bagel  stores,  as well as
openings of units  within  alternative  locations,  may be subject to  potential
delays  caused by,  among other  things,  permitting,  weather,  the delivery of
equipment and materials, and the availability of labor.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
         ---------------------

      The financial  information  in this report  should be read in  conjunction
with the financial  statements  included in the Company's  Annual Report on Form
10-K, for the year ended December 31, 1997.

      In the  opinion  of  management,  the  accompanying  financial  statements
include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation.  All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months
ended  March  31,  1998 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  to be
expected for the full year.

      The accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis which  contemplates  the realization of assets
and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business
despite  the filing by the Company for  reorganization  under  Chapter 11 of the
Federal Bankruptcy Act.

      Certain March 31, 1997 balances have been reclassified to conform with the
March 31, 1998 presentation.

NOTE 3 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
         ----------------------------------

      During the fourth  quarter  of 1997,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128),  which
specifies the method of  computation,  presentation  and disclosure for earnings
per share ("EPS"). SFAS 128 requires the presentation of two EPS amounts,  basic
and diluted.  Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options,
warrants and convertible securities.  Diluted earnings per share is very similar
to the previously  reported fully diluted  earnings per share.  Basic net income
loss per share is based  upon the  weighted  average  Common  Stock  outstanding
during each year.

 NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES
          -------------

      The Company is involved in various pending legal proceedings.  The adverse
outcome of any of these  legal  proceedings  is not  expected to have a material
adverse  effect on the financial  condition of the company.  It is the company's
expectation that each of these claims will be disposed of as part of the plan of
reorganization to be filed in the Company's Chapter 11 Case.

                                       6

<PAGE>

      The  franchisee  financing  facilities  that the Company had in place with
Atlantic Financial Services,  Sun Trust Credit Corp. and Global Alliance Finance
Company,  LLC have all been terminated.  The Company's  contingent  liability at
March 31, 1998  amounted to  $2,129,914  and  $1,580,008  under the terms of the
Atlantic Financial Services and Sun Trust Credit Corp. agreements, respectively.
The ultimate amount of such liability, if any, and settlement thereof is subject
to adjustment  based on the finalization of a Plan of  Reorganization  under the
Chapter 11 proceedings.

      Under the Chapter 11 proceeding, actions to enforce certain claims against
the  Company  are  stayed if the  claims  arose,  or are based on,  events  that
occurred on or before the petition  date.  The ultimate  terms of  settlement of
these claims will be  determined  in  accordance  with a plan of  reorganization
which  requires  the  approval  of  the  impaired   prepetition   creditors  and
shareholders and  confirmation by the Bankruptcy  Court.  Other  liabilities may
arise or be  subject  to  compromise,  as a result  of  rejection  of  executory
contracts and unexpired leases, or the Bankruptcy  court's  resolution of claims
for contingencies and other disputed  amounts.  The ultimate  resolution of such
liabilities,  all of which are subject to compromise,  will be part of a plan of
reorganization.

      The Company has received  notification  from the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission that the SEC Staff is considering recommending that the SEC institute
a civil  enforcement  action  against the Company (but not including any present
officer or  director  of the  Company)  relating to the filing by the Company of
what the Staff  believes are inaccurate  financial  statements for certain prior
periods. The Staff and the Company have had discussions  regarding the Company's
differing  views on these  matters.  No action has been commenced by the SEC and
the Company is unable to predict if or when such an action might be commenced.

NOTE (5)--IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
          ----------------------------------------------
      On January 1, 1998 the Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 130 (SFAS No. 130) "Reporting  Comprehensive Income". SFAS No. 130
establishes  standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and
its components and is applied to all  enterprises.  The adoption of SFAS No. 130
had no impact on the Company's  consolidated  results of  operations,  financial
position or cash flows.

ITEM 2 -  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS  AND
          ----------------------------------------------------------------------
          FINANCIAL CONDITION.
          --------------------

      On November 19, 1997,  Manhattan  Bagel Company,  Inc. and on December 31,
1997,  I & J  Bagel,  Inc.  filed  voluntary  petitions  in  the  United  States
Bankruptcy Court for the district of New Jersey (the "Bankruptcy Court") seeking
to reorganize  under Chapter 11 of the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code. Under Chapter 11,
certain  claims  against  the  Company in  existence  prior to the filing of the
petition for relief under  federal  bankruptcy  law are stayed while the Company
continues  business  operations  as   debtor-in-possession.   These  claims  are
reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as "liabilities subject
to settlement." In addition, the filing of a voluntary petition under Chapter 11
was an event of default under certain of the Company's loan agreements.

      The accompanying  Consolidated  Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a company
on a "going concern" basis, which,  except as otherwise noted,  contemplates the
realization of assets and the  liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course
of  business;  however,  as  a  result  of  the  Chapter  11  proceedings,   and
circumstances  relating to this event,  including the Company's debt  structure,
its operating  losses,  and current  economic  conditions,  such  realization of
assets and liquidation of liabilities are subject to significant  uncertainties.
The Company  experienced a substantial  net loss in 1997.  During the Chapter 11
proceedings,  the Company has  incurred and will  continue to incur  substantial
reorganization  costs.  The Company's  ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon the  confirmation of a plan of  reorganization  by the Bankruptcy
Court,  the  ability  to  secure  adequate  exit  financing,  combined  with the
achievement of profitable  operations.  These conditions raise substantial doubt
about  the  Company's   ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern.   See  the
qualification  regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in
the Independent Auditors report included in the 1997 Form 10-K Report.

      A plan of  reorganization,  as finally  approved by the Bankruptcy  Court,
could   materially   change  the  currently   recorded  amounts  of  assets  and
liabilities.  These financial  statements do not reflect further  adjustments to
the carrying value of assets and the amounts and  classifications of liabilities
or  shareholders'  equity  that  might  be  necessary  as a  consequence  of the
bankruptcy proceedings.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

      In the first  quarter of 1998 the  Company  generated  net  income  before
reorganization  expenses of $210,569 as compared to net income of $61,812 in the
same  period of the prior  year.  The net loss for the  period was  $398,337  as
compared to net income of $61,812 in the same period of the prior year. The loss
in 1998 was attributable to reorganization  expenses and other factors which the
Company believes impacts the comparability of results. These items are discussed
below.


      REVENUES.  Total  revenues of the Company for the three months ended March
31, 1998 were  $7,685,694 as compared to total  revenues of  $9,852,080  for the
three months ended March 31, 1997, a $2,166,386 or 22.0% decrease over the three
months of the prior year.  Product sales decreased  $652,075  resulting from the
decrease in the number of Company stores.  The decrease in franchise and license
related revenues

                                       8

is primarily  attributable to the decreases in area developer fees of $1,000,000
and  franchise  fees  of  $290,546.  In  addition  ongoing  royalties  decreased
$223,765.  The  Company's  revenues are  primarily  derived from (i) the sale of
frozen raw bagel dough and cheese  spreads to franchisees  and  licensees,  (ii)
retail and wholesale  sale of products by the  Company-owned  stores,  and (iii)
royalties, franchise and license fees, including master franchise fees, and area
development fees. The percentage of revenues derived from product sales to total
sales for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 was 90.9% as compared to 77.5%
for the comparable 1997 period.

      COSTS OF GOODS SOLD.  Cost of goods sold for the three  months ended March
31, 1998  increased  5.1% to $5,478,592 as compared to $5,210,909  for the three
months ended March 31, 1997.  This increase is  attributable to increases in raw
material and factory  overhead  costs related to factory sales offset in part by
decreases in material due to a decrease in Company store sales.  The decrease in
Company store retail  revenue also  negatively  impacted cost of goods sold as a
percentage of sales which increased to 78.4% of sales for the three months ended
March 31, 1998  compared to 68.2% of sales for the three  months ended March 31,
1997. Increased costs were incurred in 1998 in the distribution of the Company's
products due to the  geographic  expansion of the territory  that the Company is
servicing.


      SELLING,  GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES.   Selling,  general  and
administrative as a percentage of total revenues, was 27.4% for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to 49.0% for the three  months  ended March 31,
1997.  Total expenses  decreased  56.3% to $2,109,478 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998,  compared with  $4,824,977  for the three months ended March 31,
1997. The decrease in percent and absolute dollars is a result of the closing of
Company-owned  stores,  the cost  reduction  steps  taken by the  Company in the
fourth  quarter of 1997 and the  decrease  in legal  expenses as a result of the
stay of legal proceedings against the Company under the Chapter 11 filing.


      OTHER  INCOME.  Other income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was
$134,132  compared to $123,867 for the three  months  ended March 31,  1997,  an
increase of $10,265.

      INTEREST INCOME. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1998
was $106,391 compared to $298,925 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The
decrease of $192,534 was primarily  due to the sale of the Company's  marketable
securities.


      INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest expense decreased from $177,174 for the three
months  ended March 31, 1997 to $127,578  for the three  months  ended March 31,
1998. The $49,596 decrease was primarily due to a decrease in debt.

      INCOME  BEFORE  REORGANIZATION  EXPENSES AND INCOME  TAXES.  Income before
reorganization  expenses  and  provision  for income  taxes for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 was  $210,569,  compared  with $61,812 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997.  This increase is  attributable  to the factors  discussed
above.

      REORGANIZATION  EXPENSES.  Reorganization  expenses  for the three  months
ended March 31, 1998 are expenses  incurred a as result of the Company  filing a
voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy
Act. Such expenses  include fees for the attorneys and  accountants for both the
Company and the creditors.

      INCOME  TAX.  There is no benefit  for income  taxes for the three  months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. A benefit for income taxes has not been  recorded
for the either quarter because a valuation  allowance has been recorded  against
the Company's operating losses.

      NET INCOME LOSS.  The Company  generated a net loss of $398,337  ($.05 per
share) for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to a net income of
$61,812  ($.01 per share) for the three  months ended March 31, 1997 as a result
of the factors discussed above.

      In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards
No. 131 (SFAS No. 131), "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information."  SFAS  No.  131  establishes  standards  for the way  that  public
business  enterprises  report  information  about  operating  segments in annual
financial  statements  and  requires  that  those  enterprises  report  selected
information  about  operating  segments in interim  financial  reports issued to
stockholders.  It also  establishes  standards  for  related  disclosures  about
products and services,  geographic  areas, and major customers.  SFAS No. 131 is
effective for financial  statements for fiscal years  beginnings  after December
15, 1997. The Company will adopt the new  requirements  in conjunction  with its
1998 Form 10-K. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have no significant  impact on
the Company's financial reporting.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company has no  liquidity  and capital  resources  except for the cash
collateral being provided by its primary lender which has a security interest in
all assets of the Company.  The Company is using cash  collateral  in accordance
with a budget  approved  by the primary  lender and the  Bankruptcy  Court.  The
Company  has no  liquidity  through  any  other  source  and no other  debtor in
possession financing.

      The  franchisee  financing  facilities  that the Company had in place with
Atlantic Financial Services,  Sun Trust Credit Corp. and Global Alliance Finance
Company,  LLC have all been terminated.  The Company's  contingent  liability at
March 31, 1998  amounted to  $2,129,914  and  $1,580,008  under the terms of the
Atlantic Financial Services and Sun Trust Credit Corp. agreements, respectively.
The ultimate amount of such liability, if any, and settlement thereof is subject
to adjustment  based on the finalization of a Plan of  Reorganization  under the
Chapter 11 proceedings.

      Under the Chapter 11 proceeding, actions to enforce certain claims against
the  Company  are  stayed if the  claims  arose,  or are based on,  events  that
occurred on or before the petition  date.  The ultimate  terms of  settlement of
these claims will be  determined  in  accordance  with a plan of  reorganization
which  requires  the  approval  of  the  impaired   prepetition   creditors  and
shareholders and  confirmation by the Bankruptcy  Court.  Other  liabilities may
arise or be  subject  to  compromise,  as a result  of  rejection  of  executory
contracts and unexpired leases, or the Bankruptcy  Court's  resolution of claims
for contingencies and other disputed  amounts.  The ultimate  resolution of such
liabilities,  all of which are subject to compromise,  will be part of a plan of
reorganization.

      Inherent in a successful  plan of  reorganization  is a capital  structure
which permits the Company to generate sufficient cash flow after  reorganization
to meet its  restructured  obligations  and fund the current  obligations of the
reorganized  Company.  Under the  Bankruptcy  Code,  the rights of and  ultimate
payment to prepetition  creditors may be  substantially  altered and, as to some
classes, eliminated. At this time, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the
Chapter 11 filing,  in  general,  or its  affect on the future  business  of the
Company or on the ultimate interests of creditors or shareholders.

      The  Company's  net  increase in cash and cash  equivalents  for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 amounted to $309,629.

                                       10

 <PAGE>

      Net cash  provided by operating  activities  amounted to  $717,930.  It is
primarily  composed of the net loss for the period $(398,337) offset by non-cash
charges  for  depreciation  and   amortization   $419,132,   the  provision  for
reorganization  expenses in excess of payments  $395,327,  and the net change in
other operating assets and liabilities $301,808.

      Net cash  provided by  investing  activities  amounted to  $1,208,279  and
consisted primarily of repayment of a note receivable from a related party.

      Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $1,616,580 and consisted
primarily of repayments  under the  Company's  various loan  agreements  and the
repayment of obligations incurred under capital leases.

      Until a plan of  reorganization is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, only
such payments on  prepetition  obligations  that are approved or required by the
Bankruptcy  Court will be made.  Except for  payments  for certain  property and
equipment under lease,  principal and interest payments on prepetition debt have
not been made since the filing date and will not be made without the  Bankruptcy
Court's  approval  or until a plan of  reorganization,  defining  the  repayment
terms, has been confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. There is no assurance at this
time that a plan of  reorganization  will be proposed by the Company or approved
and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.
