                SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,  particularly
under Items 1-2, 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 the
future cost of the key ingredients  for its frozen bagel dough,  cheese spreads,
toppings and additional items.

          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.

                              Debtor-in-Possession
              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 and
six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 1997 balances have been  reclassified  to conform with
the June 30, 1998  presentation.  Additionally,  the  Company  has  reclassified
certain accounts payable and accrued expenses included in current liabilities at
December 31, 1997 to liabilities subject to settlement.

NOTE 2 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

         At June 30, 1998 approximately $602,000 related to the advertising fund
which the Company  maintains and administers to advertise and promote the stores
and the  system  is  included  in cash and cash  equivalents  as  compared  with
approximately $317,000 at December 31, 1997.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

                               December 31, 1997                   June 30, 1998
                               -----------------                   -------------
Raw materials                           $389,207                        $462,615
Finished Goods                           605,800                         735,665
                                        --------                      ----------
                                        $995,007                      $1,198,280
                                        ========                      ==========

NOTE 4 - 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


                                       6

<PAGE>

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 loss per share is based upon the weighted average
Common Shares outstanding during each period.

NOTE 5 - 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.

         The franchisee  financing facilities that the Company had in place with
Atlantic Financial Services and Sun Trust Credit Corp. have all been terminated.
The Company's  contingent  liability at June 30, 1998 amounted to $2,127,825 and
$1,525,363  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  proceedings,  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 6 - 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  financial  statement
presentation.

         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

                                       7

<PAGE>


areas, and major customers.  SFAS No. 131 is effective for financial  statements
for fiscal years  beginning  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.

NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On July 29, 1998, the Company signed an agreement to be acquired by New
World  Coffee & Bagels,  Inc.  (NWCB),  subject to a number of  conditions.  The
agreement  will be an integral  part of a Plan of  Reorganization  which will be
filed with the United  States  Bankruptcy  Court for the District of New Jersey,
together with a required Disclosure  Statement in order to obtain consent to the
Plan of  Reorganization  by the voting  holders of claims or  interests,  and to
obtain  confirmation of the Plan of  Reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court. The
acquisition documents provide in part for the issuance of warrants which entitle
NWCB to  purchase  from the  Company a total of  4,000,000  shares of the Common
Stock,  no par value,  (the Warrant  Shares) at the  purchase  price of $.01 per
Warrant Share.  The exercise period for the Warrant Shares is from July 28, 1998
through  December 31, 2000.  The Warrant is  exercisable  if the Company  either
accepts or files a plan of  reorganization  (or  liquidation)  involving a party
other than NWCB or the Company through its action or inaction defaults under the
acquisition  agreement and the financing  commitments made by New World Coffee &
Bagels, Inc. remain in full force.

         The acquisition agreement provides that New World Coffee & Bagels, Inc.
will provide up to $3.5 million for the  Company's  secured  creditors,  provide
$11.5  million  for  unsecured  creditors  and  assume  up to  $5.0  million  in
additional  liabilities.  No  payment  or other  recovery  will be  provided  to
Manhattan Bagel Company, Inc. shareholders.

         If the agreement is not terminated, it shall become effective following
requisite  approval  by the  Bankruptcy  Court at  which  time  Manhattan  Bagel
Company,  Inc.  shall  deliver  to New  World  Coffee  &  Bagels,  Inc.  a stock
certificate  registered  in the name of NWCB,  which shall  represent all of the
authorized, issued, and outstanding common stock of the reorganized MBC.

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.

         On July 29, 1998, the Company signed an agreement to be acquired by New
World  Coffee & Bagels,  Inc.  (NWCB),  subject to a number of  conditions.  The
agreement  will be an integral  part of a Plan of  Reorganization  which will be
filed with the United  States  Bankruptcy  Court for the District of New Jersey,
together with a required Disclosure  Statement in order to obtain consent to the
Plan of  Reorganization  by the voting  holders of claims or  interests,  and to
obtain  confirmation of the Plan of  Reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court. The
acquisition documents provide in part for the issuance of warrants which entitle
NWCB to  purchase  from the  Company a total of  4,000,000  shares of the Common
Stock,  no par value,  (the Warrant  Shares) at the  purchase  price of $.01 per
Warrant Share.  The exercise period for the Warrant Shares is from July 28, 1998
through  December 31, 2000.  The Warrant is  exercisable  if the Company  either
accepts or files a plan of  reorganization  (or liquidation)  involving a party
other than NWCB or the Company through its action or inaction defaults under the
acquisition  agreement and the financing  commitments made by New World Coffee &
Bagels, Inc. remain in full force.

         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

                                       9

<PAGE>


concern. See the qualification  regarding the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern in the report of  Independent  Auditors  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  stockholders'  equity  that  might  be  necessary  as a  consequence  of the
bankruptcy proceedings.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

         In the  second  quarter of 1998 the  Company  generated  income  before
reorganization  expenses of $281,436 as compared to net income of $85,968 in the
same  period of the prior  year.  The net loss for the  period was  $498,980  as
compared to net income of $85,968 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 June
30, 1998 were  $7,978,333 as compared to total revenues of  $11,597,584  for the
three months ended June 30, 1997, a $3,619,251 or 31.2%  decrease over the three
months of the prior year. Product sales decreased  $2,146,971 resulting from the
decrease in the number of Company stores. The decrease in franchise and business
related  revenue is primarily  attributable  to the decreases in area  developer
fees of  $595,000,  franchise  fees of $266,667 and  royalties of $610,613.  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  revenues for the
three  months  ended  June 30,  1998  was  92.3% as  compared  to 82.0%  for the
comparable 1997 period.

         COSTS OF GOODS SOLD. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June
30, 1998  decreased  19.4% to $5,693,513 as compared to $7,066,244 for the three
months ended June 30, 1997.  This decrease is  attributable  to decreases in raw
material and factory  overhead  costs  related to factory sales and 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 77.3% of product sales for the three months ended June
30, 1998  compared to 74.3% of product sales for the three months ended June 30,
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 24.8% for the three months
ended June 30,  1998 as compared  to 39.8% for the three  months  ended June 30,
1997.  Total expenses  decreased  57.0% to $1,981,795 for the three months ended
June 30,  1998,  compared  with  $4,613,905  for the three months ended June 30,
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.  The
decrease  was  partially  offset by an  increase in the reserve for bad debts of
$225,000.

                                       10

         OTHER INCOME. Other income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was
$1,983  compared to $28,868 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, a decrease
of $26,885.  The decrease in 1998 is net of $125,000  related to severance and a
write-down  of assets  related to the  suspension of operations at the Company's
Greenville, S.C. facility.

         INTEREST  INCOME.  Interest  income for the three months ended June 30,
1998 was $57,610  compared to $362,982 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
The  decrease  of  $305,372  was  primarily  due to the  sale  of the  Company's
marketable securities.

         INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest  expense  decreased  from $223,317 for the
three  months ended June 30, 1997 to $81,182 for the three months ended June 30,
1998. The $142,135 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 June 30, 1998 was  $281,436,  compared  with  $85,968 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997.  This  increase is  attributable  to the factors  discussed
above.

         REORGANIZATION  EXPENSES.  Reorganization expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 are  expenses  incurred as a 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,  accountants and consultants
for both the Company and it's creditors.

         INCOME TAX. There is no provision for income taxes for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. A provision for income taxes has not been recorded
for the quarter  because a valuation  allowance  has been  recorded  against the
Company's operating losses.

         NET INCOME/LOSS. The Company generated a net loss of $498,980 ($.07 per
share) for the three months  ended June 30,  1998,  as compared to net income of
$85,968 ($.01 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as a result of
the factors discussed above.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

         For the six months  ended June 30, 1998 the  Company  generated  income
before reorganization expenses of $492,004 as compared to net income of $147,781
in the same period of the prior year.  The net loss for the period was  $897,318
as compared to net income of $147,781 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 six months ended June
30, 1998 were  $15,664,027 as compared to total revenues of $21,449,664  for the
six months  ended June 30, 1997, a  $5,785,637  or 27.0%  decrease  over the six
months of the prior year. Product sales decreased  $2,799,046 resulting from the
decrease in the number of Company stores. The decrease in franchise and business
related  revenue is primarily  attributable  to the decreases in area  developer
fees of $1,595,000,  franchise  fees of $557,213 and royalties of $834,378.  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 revenues for the six
months  ended June 30, 1998 was 91.6% as  compared  to 80.0% for the  comparable
1997

material and factory  overhead  costs  related to factory sales and 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
product sales which increased to 77.8% of product sales for the six months ended
June 30, 1998  compared to 71.6% of product  sales for the six months ended June
30,  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.

administrative  as a percentage of total revenues,  was 26.1% for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to 43.7% for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

1998,  compared  with  $9,375,214  for the six months ended June 30,  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.  The

Greenville, S.C. facility.

was $164,001  compared to $661,907  for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The

months  ended June 30, 1997 to $208,760  for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

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 projections  approved by 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 and Sun Trust Credit Corp. have all been terminated.
The Company's  contingent  liability at June 30, 1998 amounted to $2,127,825 and
$1,525,363  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  proceedings,  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
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.  See
"Item 2-  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Results of  Operations  and
Financial  Condition" for a description of an agreement signed by the Company on
July 29, 1998.

         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  sub
stantially  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 six
months ended June 30, 1998 amounted to $939,970.

         Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $1,613,814. It is
primarily  composed of the net loss for the period  $897,318  offset by non-cash
charges  for  depreciation  and  amortization,   $831,705,   the  provision  for
reorganization  expenses in excess of payments,  $104,075, and the net change in
other operating assets and liabilities, $1,575,352.

         Net cash provided by investing  activities  amounted to $1,012,756  and
consisted primarily of repayment of a note receivable from a related party.

                                       13

<PAGE>



         Net cash  used in  financing  activities  amounted  to  $1,686,600  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  if proposed by the Company will be approved
and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.
