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.

           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 October 1, 2000 compared to the three months ended October 3,
1999

     Net sales were $22.3 in the third quarter of 2000 and $23.1 in the third
quarter of 1999. The decrease of $0.8 or 3.5% was due to lower shipment volume
primarily to the Company's non-licorice natural product customers.

     Cost of sales were $11.7 and $12.6 in the third quarter of 2000 and 1999,
respectively. As a percentage of net sales, the Company's cost of sales was
52.5% in 2000 and 54.5% in 1999. This decrease was due to lower material costs
and a change in the mix of products sold.

     SG&A expenses were $0.7 and $2.4 in the third quarter of 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The 2000 expenses were lower primarily due to higher income
recorded on the Company's overfunded pension plan, lower salary and benefit
expenses, and lower professional service costs.

     Interest expense, net was $0.8 and $0.6 in the third quarter of 2000 and
1999, respectively. The increase was due to higher average interest rates and
higher average borrowings in 2000.

     The tax provision for federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes as
a percentage of earnings before income taxes was 42.5% in 2000 and 43.1% in
1999.

Nine months ended October 1, 2000 compared to the nine months ended October 3,
1999

    Net sales were $69.5 and $72.0 for the nine months ended October 1, 2000 and
October 3, 1999, respectively. The decrease of $2.5 or 3.5% resulted from
decreased shipments to the Company's tobacco and non tobacco licorice customers
from its French subsidiary and lower U.S. and foreign sales of non-licorice
natural products.

     Cost of sales were $36.2 and $38.1 in 2000 and 1999, respectively. As a
percentage of net sales, cost of sales was 52.1% in 2000 and 52.9% in 1999. The
2000 decrease was due primarily to lower material costs.

    SG&A expenses were $3.4 and $6.1 in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The $2.7
decrease in 2000 was primarily due to higher income from the Company's
overfunded pension plan, lower salary and related benefit expenses, and lower
professional service costs.

     Interest expense, net was $2.4 and $2.1 in 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
increase was due to higher average interest rates and higher average borrowings
in 2000.

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


    The tax provision for federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes as
a percentage of earnings before income taxes was 41.7% and 42.2% in 2000 and
1999, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's net cash flows from operating activities were $20.6 and $18.7
for the nine months ended October 1, 2000 and October 3, 1999, respectively. The
increase of $1.9 for the 2000 period resulted primarily from the increase in net
income, a smaller increase in accounts receivable due to the timing of shipments
and non-recurring litigation settlement payments in 1999 partially offset by 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 $49.1 is adequate to meet customer
requirements. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended October 1, 2000
were $0.8.

     Under the Credit Agreement dated as of November 17, 1997 and amended April
9, 1999 (the "Credit Agreement"), the Company may borrow up to $80.0 under a
revolving credit facility. At October 1, 2000, $38.0 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 third quarter the Company repurchased 991,300 shares
for $5.6 which averages $5.675 per share. Management believes that the remaining
availability of approximately $37.4 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.
