periods have been included.  The results of the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

5.    The Company completed its Initial Public Offering ("IPO") on February 1,
1996 of 2,500,000 shares of  Common Stock , par value $.001 at a purchase price
of $5.50 per share, for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $11.1 million.
A portion of the proceeds was used to repay the outstanding balance under the
Company's then existing line of credit agreement ($3,500,000), the bridge
financing ($1,000,000) and the redeemable Series C Preferred Stock ($1,999,997).
In connection with the IPO, the Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock Series A,
B, and C was converted into common stock of the Company.

6.    In December 1995 and January 1996, the Company received $1,000,000 in
bridge financing from a group of lenders, which included $200,000 from certain
related parties.  This borrowing bore interest at 10% and was repaid from the
proceeds of the IPO.  In connection with this bridge financing, the Company
issued warrants to purchase 181,818 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price
of $.01 per share.  During the first quarter of 1996, the Company repaid the
outstanding balance under the loan with proceeds from the IPO and recorded a
write-off of debt issuance costs of $1,050,000 which has been reflected in the
consolidated statement of operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 1996.

7.    The Company completed the sale of 375 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock,  par value $.001 on June 28, 1996 realizing approximately
$3,320,000 in net proceeds after commissions and costs.  During the third
quarter of 1996, 55 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were
converted into 221,022 shares of Common Stock.  During the first quarter

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
ended March 30, 1997, 175 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were
exchanged for 137.5 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value
$.001 and 194,440 shares of Common Stock.

8.    On February 27, 1997, the Company completed a private placement of
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock and realized net proceeds of $1,345,000.

9.    On April 18, 1997, the Company received a commitment from a bank for a
loan totaling $2.5 million in connection with the Company's plans to open ten
additional stores.  The loan will bear interest at prime plus two percent and
has a term of 36 months.  In connection with the loan, the Company will issue
warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the
market value of the Common Stock at the time of the closing of the loan.
Security for the loan will include, among other things, security liens on
certain of the Company's existing stores and all future stores.  The Company and
the bank are currently in the final stages of negotiations.

10.    In April 1997, the Company filed its Uniform Franchise Offering Circular
("UFOC") with the Federal Trade Commission and the Office of the Attorney
General of the State of New York.  On May 6, 1997, the UFOC was approved  by the
State of New York.

11.   On May 8, 1997, the Company filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on Form SB-2 for the purpose of registering
new shares of Common Stock to be sold to the public.  Depending upon the sales
price and the number of shares to be sold, the Company expects to raise between
$250,000 and $2,500,000 before commissions and expenses and issue between
166,667 and 1,666,667 shares.  The Company expects to complete the transaction
by the end of June 1997.

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

GENERAL

New World Coffee currently owns and operates 40 specialty coffee cafes,
consisting of 28 in New York, seven in Connecticut, three in Pennsylvania and
two in New Jersey, making the Company the second largest specialty coffee retail
chain in the northeastern United States.  With its recent acquisition of
Willoughby's, the Company's coffee purveyor and roaster since its inception, the
Company has become vertically integrated in its operations, reduced its coffee
costs, improved its quality control, and entered into the mail order and
wholesale businesses.  The Company seeks to differentiate itself from other
specialty coffee retailers by serving high quality, freshly roasted coffee
(generally delivered to its stores within 24 hours of roasting) and a variety of
fresh, high quality gourmet foods in a sophisticated, award-winning cafe design
environment.

The Company has incurred losses in each fiscal year from inception primarily due
to the cost of retail store expansion and developing an infrastructure to
support future growth. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to
December 31.  Prior to fiscal 1995 the Company was on a calendar year basis.

FISCAL QUARTER ENDED MARCH 30, 1997 COMPARED TO FISCAL QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31,
1996

Revenues. Revenues increased 61.0% to $3,667,552 for the fiscal quarter ended
March 30, 1997 from $2,278,582 for the comparable 1996 period. Comparable store
sales for 1997 for the 23 stores opened for both periods increased 0.9%.

Costs and Expenses. Cost of sales and related occupancy costs as a percentage of
revenues for the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 1997 decreased to 56.9% from
63.6% for the comparable 1996 period. The primary components were a decrease of
3.8% in cost of goods due to the Company's implementation of its Point of Sale
("POS") system which has allowed the Company to better control store purchasing
and waste, improved coffee pricing due to the vertical integration of
Willoughby's and favorable vendor pricing due to greater economies of scale. In
addition, occupancy costs declined 2.9% as a percentage of revenues reflecting
the Company's expansion into areas with lower rental expense outside of New York
City and the strategic refocusing of site selection towards residential and
shopping areas which carry lower occupancy costs than commercial store
locations.

Store operating expenses as a percentage of revenues for the fiscal quarter
ended March 30, 1997 increased to 32.0% from 31.9% for the comparable 1996
period.  Store payroll as a percentage of revenues improved by 0.5% as the
benefits of improved staffing efficiencies were partly offset by higher payroll
costs for stores opened in the latter part of 1996 which experienced higher
payroll costs during their ramp-up period.  Miscellaneous store expenses

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
increased 0.6% as a percent of sales reflecting higher utility and other
expenses at some of the newer stores.

 Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of revenues for the
fiscal quarter ended March 30, 1997 increased to 14.2% from 11.6% for the
comparable 1996 period primarily due to an increase in the number of new stores
opened during the latter part of 1996 which carry higher depreciation expense as
a a percentage of revenues during their ramp-up period as well as amortization
related to the acquisitions made during the latter half of 1996.

 General and administrative expenses for the current quarter decreased as a
percentage of revenues to 21.2% from 22.9% for the fiscal quarter ended March
31, 1996.  The Company expects this improvement to continue as its investment in
building a senior management team is substantially complete and further growth
will enable it to leverage these costs.

Interest expense, net for the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 1997 increased to
$96,123, or 2.6% of revenues, from $11,511, or 0.5% for the comparable 1996
period.  The 1997 expense reflects interest on the notes issued during 1996 in
connection with the various acquisitions and interest on capital leases entered
into subsequent to the first quarter of 1996 while the 1996 expense relates to
the borrowings under the Company's bank lines and bridge financing, all of which
were repaid in February 1996 with proceeds from the Company's IPO.

Net Loss. Net loss for the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 1997 decreased to
$985,740 from $1,744,119 for the comparable 1996 period.  Operating margins
improved to a loss of 24.3% from a loss of 30.0% in the comparable 1996 period,
primarily due to improved store operating income of 6.6% as a percentage of
revenues.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 The Company's primary capital requirement is for expansion of its retail
operations. The Company currently estimates that capital expenditures through
fiscal 1997 will be approximately $3,000,000.  The Company expects to open up to
10 additional retail stores over the next 12 months.  In fiscal 1996, the
average cost to open a store was approximately $300,000.  The Company currently
has executed leases for five stores in existing markets which are not yet open.
The Company expects to meet its funding requirements with cash on hand and
internally generated funds, the Company's prospective bank financing,
prosepctive cash flow from franchising and the proceeds from the sale of up to
$2,500,000 in equity.

 At March 30, 1997 the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,950,015
compared to a working capital deficit of $1,086,822 at December 29, 1996.  The
primary reason for this increase was the reclassification to current liabilities
of certain acquisition debt payable in January 1998.

 The Company had net cash used in operating activities of $603,297 for the first
quarter of 1997 compared with net cash used in operating activities of
$1,385,791 for the first quarter of 1996.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
The Company had net cash used for investing activities of $809,517 for the first
quarter of 1997 and $234,955 for the first quarter of 1996. The primary use of
cash for investing activities was for capital expenditures related to the
Company's retail store expansion.

The Company had net cash provided by financing activities of $1,095,727 for the
first quarter of 1997. The Company had net cash provided by financing activities
of $5,324,485 for the first quarter of 1996 as a result of its Initial Public
Offering which raised approximately $11.4 million in net proceeds.

On April 18, 1997, the Company received a commitment for a 3-year bank loan
totaling $2,500,000 in connection with its plans to open 10 additional stores.
The loan is in the final stages of negotiations.

As a result of the Willoughby's acquisition in October 1996, the Company has
scheduled debt payments of $600,000 due on July 1, 1997, $600,000 due on January
5, 1998 and $1,100,000 due on January 5, 1999.  The Company is currently
negotiating to reschedule these debt payments.

SEASONALITY AND GENERAL ECONOMIC TRENDS

The Company anticipates that its business will be affected by general economic
trends that affect retailers in general. While the Company has not operated
during a period of high inflation, it believes based on industry experience that
it would generally be able to pass on increased costs resulting from inflation
to its customers. The Company's business may be affected by other factors,
including increases in the commodity prices of green coffee, acquisitions by the
Company of existing espresso bars, existing and additional competition,
marketing programs, weather, special or unusual events, and variations in the
number of store openings. The Company has few, if any, employees at the minimum
wage level and therefore believes that an increase in the minimum wage would
have minimal impact on its operations and financial condition.

                             NEW WORLD COFFEE, INC.

                                 MARCH 30, 1997

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

    A holder of Series A Preferred Stock has alleged in a lawsuit filed against
the Company on May 6, 1997 in the Delaware Court of Chancery in New Castle
County, Delaware that the Company breached its obligations to such holder
pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation because it failed to
notify such holder of the Company's attempt to create Series B Preferred Stock
and failed to obtain the necessary consents of the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock prior to the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock.  Such holder has
requested that the court cancel the Series B Preferred Stock and enjoin the
Company from creating any new series of stock on parity with the Series A
Preferred Stock without complying with the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation.  The Company is vigorously defending this action.

Item 2.   Changes in Securities

    On February 26, 1997, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at
$1.375 per share.  During the first quarter of 1997, 175 shares of the Company's
Series A Preferred Stock were converted into 137.5 shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock, $.001 par value and 194,440 shares of Common Stock.
