1.  BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    M & F Worldwide Corp. (the "Company"), was incorporated in Delaware on
June 1, 1988 and is a holding company which conducts its operations through its
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Pneumo Abex Corporation ("Pneumo Abex").
Through Pneumo Abex, the Company is primarily in the business of producing
licorice flavors and other flavoring agents and whole and processed plant
products.

    On November 25, 1996, the Company acquired (the "Flavors Acquisition") all
the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Flavors Holdings Inc.
("Flavors"), the direct parent of Mafco Worldwide Corporation ("Mafco
Worldwide"). Subsequently, Mafco Worldwide merged into Pneumo Abex.

3.  INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

    Basic income per common share has been computed based on the weighted
average shares outstanding in the 2000 and 1999 period, respectively. Diluted
income per share is computed using the weighted average shares outstanding plus
the assumed conversion of the Preferred Stock and the dilutive effect of stock
options for all periods presented.

4.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

    Comprehensive income for the Company for the three month periods ended July
2, 2000 and July 4, 1999 was $5.0 and $3.5, respectively, and $8.2 and $5.8,
respectively, for the six month periods ended July 2, 2000 and July 4, 1999.
Such amounts represent the net income less foreign currency translation

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                              (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

GENERAL

    The Company's revenues are principally derived from sales of licorice
extract to the tobacco and confectionery industries for use as a flavoring
ingredient. Sales are recorded when title passes to customers.

Three months ended July 2, 2000 compared to the three months ended July 4, 1999

    Net sales were $24.5 in the second quarter of 2000 and $24.8 in the second
quarter of 1999. The decrease of $0.3 or 1.2% was due to lower shipment volume
primarily to the Company's non-licorice natural product customers. This decline
was partially offset by an increase in revenues from the Company's domestic and
foreign licorice operations.

    Cost of sales were $12.6 and $13.1 in the second quarter of 2000 and 1999,
respectively. As a percentage of net sales, the Company's cost of sales was
51.4% in 2000 and 52.8% in 1999. This decrease was due to lower material costs
and a change in the mix of products sold.

    SG&A expenses were $1.3 and $1.7 in the second quarter of 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The 2000 expenses were lower primarily due to higher income
recorded on the Company's overfunded pension plan.

    Interest expense, net was $0.8 and $0.7 in the second quarter of 2000 and
1999, respectively. The increase was due to higher average interest rates.

    The tax provision for federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes as
a percentage of earnings before income taxes was 41.4% in 2000 and 41.5% in
1999.

Six months ended July 2, 2000 compared to the six months ended July 4, 1999

    Net sales were $47.2 and $48.9 for the six months periods ended July 2, 2000
and July 4, 1999, respectively. The decrease of $1.7 or 3.5% resulted from
decreased shipments to the Company's tobacco and non tobacco customers from its
French subsidiary and lower domestic sales of non-licorice natural products.

    Cost of sales were $24.5 and $25.5 in 2000 and 1999, respectively. As a
percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 51.9% in 2000 and 52.1% in 1999. The
2000 decrease was due primarily to lower material costs.

    SG&A expenses were $2.7 and $3.7 in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The $1.0
decrease in 2000 was primarily due to higher income from the Company's
overfunded pension plan.

    Interest expense, net was $1.6 and $1.5 in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
increase was due to higher average interest rates in 2000.

                              (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)

    The tax provision for federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes as
a percentage of earnings before income taxes was 41.4% and 41.9% in 2000 and
1999 respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's net cash flows from operating activities were $11.8 and $11.4
for the six month period ended July 2, 2000 and July 4, 1999, respectively. The
increase of $0.4 for the 2000 period resulted primarily from a smaller increase
in accounts receivable due to the timing of shipments and non-recurring
litigation settlement payments partially offset by an increase in inventories
and the timing of accruals and related payments. The Company's working capital
requirements for trade accounts receivables and inventory are affected by
customer demand and by current and prospective supplies of raw material.
Management believes the current inventory of $50.8 is adequate to meet customer
requirements. Capital expenditures for the six month period ended July 2, 2000
were $0.5.

    Under the Credit Agreement dated as of November 17, 1997 as amended April 9,
1999 (the "Credit Agreement"), the Company may borrow up to $80.0 under a
revolving credit facility. At July 2, 2000, $40.0 was borrowed under the
facility and approximately $4.6 was reserved to support lender guarantees for
outstanding letters of credit. On April 24, 2000 the Credit Agreement was
amended to permit the Company to use up to $15.0 to make repurchases of its
common stock. During the second quarter the Company repurchased 550,600 shares
for $3.1 which averages $5.60 per share. Management believes that the remaining
availability of approximately $35.4 under the revolving credit facility and cash
flow from operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital,
capital expenditure and debt service for the foreseeable future.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    This quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 2, 2000, as
well as certain of the Company's other public documents and statements and oral
