                   HMG WORLDWIDE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

     HMG Worldwide Corporation is a multi-disciplinary marketing solutions
agency. Initially, and until recently, HMG's vision was to be the preeminent
provider of in-store marketing services to major consumer goods manufacturers
and retailers for brands, categories, departments, and stores.

     HMG succeeded in its original vision and has grown to become a leading
agency for in-store marketing services. The blue-chip clients that were acquired
during HMG's initial growth remain today as the core of an enviable client list.
Among the Company's valued clients are Clairol, Coca-Cola, CVS, Hallmark, Kmart,
Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, Sara Lee, Target, Walgreens, Wal*Mart and many
others.

     To adapt to the changing economy and the expansion of e-commerce, HMG has
evolved its vision to capitalize on the growth of the Internet and new media.

     HMG's vision has been to increase its clients' sales, increase labor
efficiency, enhance retail branding, environment and communication at the
point-of-sale, and improve inventory management through unique in-store
branding, marketing, and merchandising systems. In fulfilling its original
vision, HMG has provided research, creative, design, engineering, and
manufacturing support services to its clients. Over the course of decades of
experience, HMG has developed an intimate knowledge of its clients' brands and,
more importantly, has compiled unequaled research on their consumers' buying
habits.

EGO MEDIA, MARK ZEFF CONSULTING GROUP, INC. AND THE GLADE CORP.

     In September of 1999, HMG acquired an 80% interest in Ego Media. Ego Media
is a web-consulting, web-design, and web-branding group focused on creating
new-media marketing campaigns and online branding initiatives that produce
results for its clients.

     In May 2000, HMG acquired Zeff Consulting, a technology-based
architectural, digital and brand design firm, and a majority interest in The
Glade Corp. Glade is a joint venture with Mark Zeff, President of Zeff
Consulting, to design, market and sell personal care, lifestyle and other
products under the "Zeff" brand or name.

     HMG's vision is focused on the convergence of online and in-store
marketing. HMG intends to leverage decades-old client relationships with the
web-consulting expertise of Ego Media and the integrated design and digital
services of Zeff Consulting. With Ego Media and Zeff Consulting, HMG can provide
its services wherever purchase decisions are made. HMG offers an advantage over
its competition by offering seamless multi-disciplinary marketing solutions that
cross the border between "brick and mortar" and "click and mortar" marketing.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     HMG's revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased 53.5%
to $96.6 million as compared to $62.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. HMG generated net income of $1.9 million, or $0.14 basic
earnings per share, as compared to net income of $1.5 million, or $0.13 basic
earnings per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, one institutional holder
of HMG's Convertible Notes elected to convert an aggregate of $3.0 million in a
series of conversions of the outstanding Convertible Notes issued by HMG. As a
consequence of those conversions, HMG issued an aggregate of 1,170,069 shares of
Common Stock, inclusive of accrued interest, and retired $3.0 million of the
Convertible Notes.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED


     On March 22, 2000, HMG issued $1.5 million 7% of its Convertible Notes Due
March 22, 2003, as amended, to an institutional investor. Those Convertible
Notes are convertible into shares of HMG's Common Stock at a conversion price
equal to the lesser of (a) 9.60 or (b) the average of the two lowest closing
prices of the Common Stock during the 30 consecutive trading days immediately
prior to conversion. Those Convertible Notes were issued through a private
placement; however, HMG has registered the underlying shares that may be
acquired upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes under the Securities Act
of 1933.

     In July 2000, HMG issued 700,000 shares of Common Stock to an institutional
investor in a private transaction. HMG received gross proceeds of $3.5 million
as a result of the transaction.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AS COMPARED TO THE
  THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

     Net revenues increased $20.5 million, or 90.6%, to $43.2 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to $22.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1999. The $20.5 million increase in net revenues from
period to period was due principally to a net increase in marketing expenditures
of HMG's clients of $1.3 million, the national roll outs of new programs from
two clients of $17.7 million, and revenues from HMG's "e-business", Ego Media
and Zeff Consulting, of $1.5 million during the period.

     Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $10.9
million as compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30,
1999. The increase in gross profit of $4.6 million was principally a result of
the increase in net revenues, net of a decline in gross margin for the quarter.
For the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, HMG's gross margin was
25.3% and 27.7%, respectively. The gross margin decrease of 2.4% was due
principally to the effect of (i) an unfavorable production revenue mix resulting
in a 6.2% decrease and (ii) a decrease in factory overhead expenses of 3.8%. The
decrease in factory overhead expense, as a percentage of revenues, was
principally the result of HMG's improved absorption of factory overhead expense
over a greater revenue base.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses, SG&A, for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 was $8.9 million as compared to $5.2 million for the
comparable period in 1999. The increase in SG&A of $3.7 million from period to
period was principally due to the addition of Ego Media's and Zeff Consulting's
SG&A of $1.0 million and an increase in other selling and general expenses of
$2.7 million.

     For the three months ended September 30, 1999, HMG generated interest
income of $63,000 through investments in interest-bearing marketable securities
and commercial paper. During the three months ended September 30, 2000, HMG did
not invest in interest-bearing marketable securities and commercial paper.

     Interest expense was $921,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000
as compared to $305,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999. The
increase in interest expense was principally due to the combination of an
increase in average borrowings from period to period and an increase in the
interest rate incurred through HMG's credit facilities.

     As a consequence of the foregoing factors, HMG generated net income of $1.0
million, or $0.07 basic earnings per share, for the three months ended September
30, 2000 as compared to a net income of $837,000, or $0.07 basic earnings per
share, for the three months ended September 30, 1999.

          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED


NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AS COMPARED TO THE
  NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

     Net revenues increased $33.6 million, or 53.4%, to $96.6 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $62.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999. The $33.6 million increase in net revenues from
period to period was due principally to a net increase in marketing expenditures
of HMG's clients of $4.2 million, the national roll outs of a new programs from
two client of $26.2 million, and revenues from HMG's "e-business", Ego Media and
Zeff Consulting, of $3.2 million during the period.

     Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $25.7
million, as compared to $18.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1999. The increase in gross profit of $7.5 million was principally a result of
the increase in net revenues, net of a decline in gross margin for the nine
month period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, HMG's gross
margin was 26.6% and 28.9%, respectively. The gross margin decrease of 2.3% was
due principally to the effect of (i) an unfavorable production revenue mix
resulting in a 1.0% decrease and (ii) an increase in factory overhead expenses
of 1.3%. The increase in factory overhead expense, as a percentage of revenues,
was principally the result of HMG's new warehouse and distribution center opened
in September 1999 to handle the increased warehousing and distribution needs of
many of HMG's retail clients.

     SG&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $21.4 million as
compared to $15.8 million for the comparable period in 1999. The increase in
SG&A of $5.6 million from period to period was principally due to the addition
of Ego Media's and Zeff Consulting's SG&A of $2.1 million and an increase in
other selling and general expenses of $3.5 million.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, HMG generated interest income
of $205,000 through investments in interest-bearing marketable securities and
commercial paper. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, HMG did not
invest in interest-bearing marketable securities and commercial paper.

     Interest expense was $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 as compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
The increase in interest expense was principally due to the combination of an
increase in average borrowings from period to period and an increase in the
interest rate incurred through HMG's credit facilities.

     As a consequence of the foregoing factors, HMG generated net income of $1.9
million, or $0.14 basic earnings per share, for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 as compared to a net income of $1.5 million, or $0.13 basic earnings
per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     Stockholders' equity increased $11.1 million to $24.6 million at September
30, 2000 from $13.6 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in stockholders'
equity was due to (i) net income of $1.9 million, (ii) the issuance of 1,170,069
shares of Common Stock and the retirement of the outstanding convertible
debentures and accrued interest of $3.2 million, net of expenses, (iii) the
issuance of 316,750 shares of Common Stock valued at $2.50 per share in
connection with the acquisition of Zeff Consulting, $792,000, (iv) net proceeds
of $3.5 million derived from the sale of 700,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant
to a private placement, and (v) net proceeds of $1.7 million derived from the
exercise of stock options and warrants.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED

INCOME TAXES

     At December 31, 1999, HMG had net operating loss carry forwards of
approximately $34.6 million which expire during the years 2001 through 2013.

     HMG's income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2000
was $83,000 as compared to $37,000 for the three months ended September 30,
1999. HMG's income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
was $100,000 as compared to $51,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1999. The income tax provisions for each of the periods were comprised
principally of state and local taxes.

INFLATION

     The effect of inflation on HMG 's operations has not been significant to
date.

BACKLOG

     At September 30, 2000, HMG's aggregate backlog was approximately $47.2
million, as compared to $48.9 million and $46.6 million at December 31, 1999 and
September 30, 1999, respectively. Of such aggregate backlog at September 30,
2000, approximately 21% was attributable to one client. HMG anticipates that
substantially all such backlog at September 30, 2000 will be filled during the
next twelve months. In addition to the $47.2 million backlog at September 30,
2000, HMG's supply contract with the Foster Grant Group L.P. requires Foster
Grant, subject to certain limitations, to purchase at least 70% of its in-store
merchandising displays from HMG with average annual purchases to aggregate no
less than $2.5 million. The aggregate value of the Foster Grant supply contract
at September 30, 2000 was $19.3 million, of which HMG anticipates that $2.5
million will be shipped within the next twelve months. Due to quarter-
to-quarter fluctuations in HMG's backlog levels, attributable to the timing,
nature and size of its merchandising system programs for its clients, such
backlog levels are not necessarily an indicator of future net revenue levels.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999
aggregated $291,000 and $6.0 million, respectively. HMG's decrease in cash and
cash equivalents of approximately $5.7 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 was due principally to the net effects of (i) net cash used
in operations of $14.4 million and (ii) capital expenditures of $1.8 million,
offset by (iii) proceeds derived from the sale of $1.5 million, of its 7%
Convertible Notes, (iv) proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants
of $1.7 million, (v) net proceeds of $3.5 million derived from the sale of
700,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to a private placement, and (vi) net
proceeds of $3.8 million derived from HMG's credit facilities. HMG's negative
cash flows from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 resulted
principally from a net increase in (i) accounts receivable of $16.2 million and
(ii) inventory of $11.0 million.

     HMG maintains a $35.0 million Credit Agreement with a financial institution
in the form of a revolving credit and term loan facility. Borrowings under the
Credit Agreement bear interest at the institution's prime rate plus 0.25% per
annum or, at the option of HMG, the Eurodollar rate plus 2.5% per annum. HMG is
required to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.25% per annum of the average
daily unused amount of the funds available. Additionally, the Credit Agreement
contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, which require HMG
to maintain certain financial ratios and, among other things, restrict (i)
declaration of dividends, (ii) the incurrence of additional indebtedness and
(iii) the sale of certain assets. As of September 30, 2000, HMG was in
compliance with all financial covenants of the Credit Agreement, as amended.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the lender advanced $3.1
million in the form of a term loan collateralized by HMG's current and future
real estate and equipment. The term loan portion of the Credit Agreement is
amortized on a quarterly basis over five years and bears interest at the
institution's prime rate plus 0.25% per annum. At September 30, 2000, the
balance outstanding under the term loan was $2.6 million.

          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED


     During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, one institutional holder
of HMG's Convertible Notes elected to convert an aggregate of $3.0 million of
such Convertible Notes in a series of conversions. As a consequence of those
conversions, HMG issued an aggregate of 1,170,069 shares of Common Stock,
inclusive of accrued interest, and retired $3.0 million of those Convertible
Notes.

     On March 22, 2000, HMG issued $1.5 million 7% Convertible Notes Due March
22, 2003 to an institutional investor. The principal amount of the Convertible
Notes is convertible into shares of HMG's Common Stock at a conversion price
equal to the lesser of (a) $9.60 or (b) the average of the two lowest closing
prices of the Common Stock during the 30 consecutive trading days immediately
prior to conversion. Those Convertible Notes were issued through a private
placement; however, HMG has registered the underlying shares that may be
acquired upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes under the Securities Act
of 1933.

     HMG's working capital at September 30, 2000 was $13.9 million, inclusive of
borrowing of $25.8 million pursuant to the five-year Credit Agreement. The
working capital needs of HMG continue to expand as increases in revenues direct
to retailers require HMG to maintain a substantial investment in inventory to
manage new merchandising programs, support existing merchandising programs, new
store openings and remodeling activities engaged by the retailer. From time to
time, HMG experiences temporary liquidity problems due to the timing of cash
flows while HMG is in production and building inventory. Additionally, HMG's
working capital was deployed in the recently completed capital expenditure
program whereby HMG developed a series of proprietary products that can be
marketed across a variety of different clients and retail store environments.
Further, as HMG expands its Internet and e-commerce, HMGe division, the timing
of cash flows for this division will require support through HMG's existing
credit facilities and other potential resources.

     In March 2000, the Company retained an investment banker, Friedman,
Billings and Ramsey, to advise HMG in the financing of its Internet expansion,
as well as the increased working capital requirements of its traditional core
in-store marketing business. HMG may seek to raise additional capital in order
to provide a more rapid growth and expansion of its HMGe division.

     In July 2000, HMG issued 700,000 shares of Common Stock to an institutional
investor in a private transaction. HMG received gross proceeds of $3.5 million
as a result of the transaction.

     HMG's management believes that its current cash and cash equivalents, its
backlog, anticipated future cash flows from operations and availability under
its Credit Agreement will be sufficient to support its debt service requirements
and its other capital and operating needs for the next fiscal year. Management
believes HMG's investment in a strategic e-commerce division, an expanded client
base and future cash flows from operations developed by HMG provide an important
base for future revenues and liquidity; however, there can be no assurance that
such belief will prove to be correct, that additional financing will not be
required or that any such financing will be available on commercially reasonable
terms or otherwise.

     The above statements and certain other statements contained in this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q are based on current expectations. Such statements
are forward looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include the
following (I) general economic conditions at retail, (ii) competitive market
influences, (iii) client budgetary restrictions, (iv) the timing and collection
of accounts receivable from clients, (v) delays in shipment of scheduled
programs to clients, (vi) delay in or inability to expand HMG's client base
and/or (vii) the loss of or reduction in spending of existing clients.
