conducting business under the tradename "Sammy's New York Bagels," The
acquisition consisted of three certified kosher retail bagel stores and a bagel
production facility, all operating under rabbinical supervision. Effective

Company-owned stores for training, marketing and promotional activities, and the
distribution of bagel bakery equipment and related products to the franchise
system. The Company markets both single unit and market development franchise
agreements. The Company, in the normal course of business, also markets stores

its concepts under the names "Goldberg's New York Bagels" and "Sammy's New York
Bagels."

its own and franchised bagels stores, as well as forming the basis of a separate
retail concept for expansion through licensing and franchising. Sold under the
name "SoupChef", the soup is manufactured for the Company under a supplier
contract, and will provide the Company with an additional revenue source
beginning in September of 1998.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(3) NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per common share was determined by dividing net loss, as
adjusted, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding,. The net
loss for each period ended July 31, 1998 was adjusted by the increase in the
carrying amount of redeemable preferred stock.
(4) CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
A. CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES
During the current fiscal quarter, the Company raised a total
of $850,000 through the sale of its previously registered Convertible

holder, into common stock at a price equal to 75% of the market price at the
time of conversion.

its Series H Preferred Stock for total consideration of $250,000. The Preferred
stock is also convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at 75% of
the market price at the time of conversion.
In completing the above transaction, The Company incurred commissions
and selling expenses of $70,000, producing net proceeds of $1,030,000. The
Company applied $325,000 of that amount towards the repurchase of a previously

as operating capital, including the payment of accrued accounts payable, and the
funding of operating losses.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
EXCEPT FOR THE HISTORICAL INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN, THE MATTERS
DISCUSSED IN THIS REPORT ARE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO DEVELOP,
CONSTRUCT, ACQUIRE OR FRANCHISE ADDITIONAL STORES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
COMPANY'S BUSINESS PLAN, MANAGEMENT OF QUARTER TO QUARTER RESULTS, INCREASES IN
OPERATING COSTS AND SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION OF POSSIBLE ACQUISITIONS. THESE RISKS
ARE SET FORTH IN THE "RISK FACTORS" SECTION OF THE PROSPECTUS PORTION OF THE
COMPANY'S FORM SB-2 REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND THE "RISK FACTORS" SECTION
CONTAINED HEREIN. UPDATED INFORMATION WILL BE PERIODICALLY PROVIDED BY THE
COMPANY AS REQUIRED BY THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE
ACT OF 1934. THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES HERETO. THE DISCUSSION OF
RESULTS, CAUSES AND TRENDS SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED TO IMPLY ANY CONCLUSION THAT
SUCH RESULTS OR TRENDS WILL NECESSARILY CONTINUE IN THE FUTURE.
OVERVIEW
Results of Operations - Three Months Ended July 31, 1998 and 1997
Revenues for the three months ended July 31, 1998 (the "1998 Quarter")
were $643,243 an increase of $24,820 or 4 %, from $618,423 for the three months
ended July 31, 1997 (the "1997 Quarter"). This increase is attributable to an
increase in store sales of 5.5 % or $ 25,708 which reflects the inclusion of
results of the St. Petersburg acquisition.
Future equipment and commissary sales will be dependent on the
Company's franchising activities, and such sales will therefore increase or
decrease in direct proportion to the Company's success in expanding its system
of franchised stores.
Franchising revenue has been adversely affected by the Company's
overall financial difficulty which has made it difficult to attract new
franchisees to the Company's franchising system.

ALL AMERICAN FOOD GROUP, INC.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-(Continued)
Cost of sales increased by $ 164,296, or 35%, to $ 634,183 in the 1998
Quarter from $469,887 in the 1997 Quarter, primarily due to inventory, accounts
payable and accounts receivable adjustments of approximately $150,000. To the
extent that future increases in the Company's total revenues are attributable to
franchise fees, market development fees and franchise royalties, costs of sales
can be expected to decrease as a percentage of revenues.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $ 847,679, or
68%, to $398,231 in the 1998 Quarter from $1,245,910 in the 1997 Quarter. This
decrease in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenues is
attributable to the Company's cost cutting measures and increased efficiency,
particularly with regards to the relocation of the Company's bagel manufacturing
distribution facility.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $ 30,174, or 33%, to $
122,319 in the 1998 Quarter from $92,145 in the 1997 Quarter.
Interest expense decreased by $ 87,891, or 57%, to $ 66,802 in the 1998
Quarter from $154,693 in the 1997 Quarter. Interest expense decreased as a
result of the reduction debt from the acquisition of the assets of St. Pete's
Bagels.
The net loss decreased by $ 459,464, or 32%, to $ 957,147 in the 1998
Quarter from $1,416,611 in the 1997 Quarter as a result of the factors discussed
above.
Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended July 31, 1998 and 1997
Revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 1998 (the "1998 Interim
Period") were $2,502,731 an increase of $ 408,285, or 19%, from $2,094,446 for
the nine months ended July 31, 1997 (the "1997 Interim Period "). This increase
is attributable to (i) an increase in store sales of $ 374,905, or 32%, to $
1,555,540 in the 1998 Interim Period from $1,180,635 in the 1997 Interim Period,
as a result of the St. Pete's acquisition, (ii) an increase in commissary and
product sales of $ 357,866, or 74% to $ 839,117 in the 1998 Interim Period from
$481,251 in the 1997 Interim Period, as a consequence of a greater number of
stores and a concomitant increase in the demand for product during the 1998
Interim Period, which were offset by (iii) a decrease in franchising activities
of $ 324,486, or 75%, to $ 108,074 in the 1998 Interim Period from $432,560 in
the 1997 Interim Period.
Future equipment and commissary sales will be dependent on the
Company's franchising activities, and such sales will therefore increase or
decrease in direct proportion to the Company's success in expanding its system
of franchised stores.

ALL AMERICAN FOOD GROUP, INC.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-(Continued)
Cost of sales increased by $ 780,716, or 5%, to $ 2,101,490 in the 1998
Interim Period from $1,511,247 in the 1997 Interim Period due to the increase in
sales. To the extent that future increases in the Company's total revenues are
attributable to franchise fees, market development fees and franchise royalties,
costs of sales can be expected to decrease as a percentage of revenues.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $ 671,992, or
24%, to $2,163,331 in the 1998 Interim Period from $2,835,323 in the 1997
Interim Period. This decrease in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of
revenues is attributable to The Company's cost -cutting measures.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $ 43,808 or 18%, to $
284,894 in the 1998 Interim Period from $241,086 in the 1997 Interim Period.
Interest expense decreased by $ 20,902, or 12%, to $ 152,403 in the
1998 Interim Period from $172,945 in the 1997 Interim Period. Interest expense
decreased as a result of the debt reduction.
The net loss increased by $ 29,839 or 1%, to $ 2,815,403 in the 1998
Interim Period from $2,785,564 in the 1997 Interim Period. The first quarter
loss accounts for 48% of the year to date loss indicating a positive trend to
reduce losses. To date, the Company has operated at a loss as a result of the
application of resources in excess of revenues to develop its operating
infrastructure, including the support structure necessary to fulfill its
obligations under its franchise agreements and the anticipation of additional
franchise sales. Consequently, total revenues are not yet sufficient to support
the Company's overhead. Management anticipates, that during the fiscal year
ending October 31, 1998, the Company's revenues will increase due to additional
franchise sales, increased royalty income from existing stores, increased
equipment sales to new franchisees, increased sales in existing Company-owned
stores, sales revenues from newly opened Company-owned stores, and revenue from
new revenue sources including the sale of the Company's gourmet soups. There can
be no assurance, however as to whether, and to what extent, the Company will
actually experience additional revenues from any of these sources. The Company's
ability to operate profitably in the future is substantially dependent upon its
ability to sell store and market development franchises, to open additional
franchise stores, and successfully develop new avenues of revenue.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-(Continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since the completion of its IPO in December of 1996, the Company has
operated at a loss, and has continued to raise additional outside capital to
fund its operations. Although the current trend is positive, and the company
believes it will begin to operate profitably by the fourth fiscal quarter ending
October 31, 1998, there can be no assurance that it will achieve that goal,
moreover, even if the cash flow trend continues in a positive direction, there
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise the
necessary capital required to fund its current losses, even at the reduced rate.
The Company's revenues are not yet sufficient to support the Company's
operating expenses. Cash flow used by operating activities for the nine months
ended July 31, 1998 was $ 2,129,155 compared to cash used by operating
activities of $2,834,392 during the nine months ended July 31, 1997.
Additional funds will be required to support the Company's capital
requirements during the period it continues to operate at a loss. Management is
currently attempting to raise additional capital through financing or the sale
of its common or preferred stock. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to obtain financing or sell its common or preferred stock in
sufficient amounts to meet its working capital requirements. Failure to obtain
additional working capital in a timely manner or on acceptable terms could have
a material adverse effect on the Company, its financial position and prospects.
Additionally, since the Company's stock was delisted from the NASDAQ
Small Cap Market on July 16, 1998, it has fallen to a price below $.05 per
share, as a consequence of which the Company stock is subject to certain rules
regarding penny stocks. These regulations substantially inhibit the liquidity of
the Company's public securities and acts as a further barrier to the Company's
efforts to raise additional capital.
At this time, there can be no assumption that the Company can continue
to operate in its present form, and if the Company is unable to raise additional
capital it may be forced to liquidate some its assets under unfavorable terms.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-(Continued)
IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT,
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS IN EVALUATING THE
COMPANY AND ITS BUSINESS.
EXPANSION. As of July 31, 1998 there were 26 stores in
operation, consisting of 7 Company-owned and 19 franchised stores. By the end of
1998, the Company contemplates having an additional 10 to 15 franchised stores
in operation, and 95 to 100 franchised stores in operation by the end of 1998.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract new
franchisees to open all of the planned new stores, of that, if opened, such
stores can operate profitably. The opening and success of the Company's owned
and operated and franchised stores will depend on various factors, not all of
which are in the control of the Company, including customer acceptance of the
Company's concept in new markets, the availability of suitable sites, the
negotiation of acceptable lease or purchase terms for new locations, permit and
regulatory compliance, the ability to meet construction schedules, the financial
and other capabilities of the Company and its franchisees, the ability of the
Company to successfully manage this anticipated expansion and to hire and train
personnel, and general economic and business conditions. Furthermore, because of
the Company's relatively small store base, an unsuccessful store could have a
more significant adverse effect on the Company's results of operations than
would be the case for a company with a larger store base.
The Company's expansion will also require the implementation and
integration of enhanced operational and financial systems and additional
management, operational and financial resources. Failure to implement and
integrate these systems and add these resources could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to manage its expanding operations
effectively or that it will be able to maintain or accelerate its growth or to
maintain its present level of revenues and net loss.
POSSIBLE ACQUISITIONS. The Company's growth strategy includes possible
acquisitions of bagel stores. In this regard the company is actively pursuing a
25 store retail bagel chain located in Dallas, Texas one of which will be
company owned for a total purchase price of approximately $2,900,000.
Furthermore, the Company's ability to make acquisitions may depend upon its
ability to obtain financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to obtain financing on acceptable terms.
