Note A - In the opinion of management of Ecomat, Inc. and
Subsidiaries (the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1997
include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation.  The statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the related notes included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996 and do
not include all the information and footnote disclosures required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.

     The results of operations for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year.

Note B-Acquisition of Subsidiary

      In February 1997, the Company purchased assets of a cleaner
in  Ridgefield, CT.  The Company agreed to  issue  3,000
shares  (valued  at  $15,000)  to the  seller  and  to  pay  cash
consideration  of  $65,000.   The subsidiary  is  not  considered

Note B - (Cont.)

issued contingent upon performance of the acquired  unit, as
defined.  Such contingent consideration will be recorded
as additional purchase price if and when the performance 
goals are achieved.

In May 1997, the Company purchased the assets of White Glove Valet
Cleaners in New York, NY for $200,000. 

In June 1997, the Company purchased assets of a cleaner in Wilton,
CT.  The Company agreed to pay cash consideration of $10,000.  In 
addition the Company agreed to issue a maximium of 1,000 shares 
(valued at $5,000)and additional cash of $15,000 contingent upon 
performance of the acquired unit, as defined.  Such contingent 
consideration will be recorded as additional purchase price if 
and when the performance goals are achieved.
  
Note  C-  New  Accounting Pronouncement - In February  1997,  the
Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board  issued   Statement   of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No.  128,  Earnings  Per  Share,
which is effective for financial statements for both interim  and
annual periods ending after December 15, 1997.  Early adoption of
the  new  standard is not permitted.  The new standard eliminates
primary  and  fully  diluted  earnings  per  share  and  requires
presentation  of  basic and diluted earnings per  share  together
with disclosure of how the per share amounts were computed.   The
adoption  of this new standard is not expected to have a material
impact  on  the disclosure of earnings per share in the financial
statements.

Management's Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and
                   Results of Operations


  Ecomat, Inc., is a Delaware corporation ("Ecomat"
or the "Company") that has been formed to develop
the Ecomat concept nationally and internationally which,
management believes, provides the first environmentally
sound solution to current dry cleaning methods in the
United States and is currently the only franchiser of
this concept.  Ecomat currently has five Company-owned
facilities in New York City, Mamaroneck, NY, Ridgefield, 
CT, and Wilton, CT.

  There are currently signed franchise agreements for three
cluster franchises, one each in New Jersey, Brooklyn, NY, 
and Austin, TX.  In addition, there are two Ecomat self-service
laundromat and drop-off facility franchises in operation.
The Company has signed four master franchise agreements for 
various parts of Europe, Indonesia, Malaysia/Brunei, and Australia.

  Revenues.  Total operating revenues, for the three month 
period ending June 30, 1997 increased by $32,199 as compared 
to the corresponding period in 1996.  This represents an
increase of 30% as compared to the period ended June 30,1996.
This increase was due to franchise revenue recognized by the 
Company in the three months ended June 30, 1997 and new 
operating facilities.  The Company actually received cash
payments of $72,250 from master franchises that was not
recognized as revenue in the current quarter.  These revenues 
will be recognized in future periods, according to the 
Company's accounting policy.

  Total operating revenues for the six month period ending
June 30, 1997 increased by $130,455 or 62% as compared to the 
corresponding period in the prior year.  The increase for the 
six month period is due primarily to recognition of franchise 
revenue of $111,818.  The balance of the revenue increase is 
mainly from the Ridgefield, CT facility.  

  Facility operating costs increased from $139,421 for the
second quarter of 1996 to $214,703 for the second quarter
of 1997, an increase of 54%.  This increase is primarily
due to new costs associated with the operations for the
Ridgefield, CT facility, and the opening of two new facilities.

  Costs for the six month period of 1997 increased $132,202
or 48% from the corresponding period of 1996.  Increases are 
attributable to the opening and conversions of three company-owned 
facilities.

  General & Administrative Expenses.  The Company's General
and Administrative expenses increased from $273,715 to
$369,476, an increase of 35% for the three month period ending
June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997, respectively.  This increase is 
primarily due to the increase in professional fees and the 
expenses associated with our expansion and responsibilities of 
being a publicly-held entity. 

  Expenses for the six months ending June 30, 1997 increased 
$121,609 or 24% from the corresponding period of 1996.  These 
increases are basically attributable to the same reasons as for 
the three month period.

  Other income amounted to $25,891 and $70,561 for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 1997 respectively, due
to interest income earned from the net proceeds of the initial
public offering that occurred in December 1996.

  Net Loss.  The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 1997
was $510,635 ($.14 per share) as compared to a net loss of 
$358,629 ($.15 per share) for the corresponding quarter in
1996.

  The net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 1997
was $760,655 ($ 0.21 per share) as compared to a net loss of 
$677,570 ($.28 per share)for the same period of the prior year.


 Liquidity and Capital Resources

  The Company's liquidity position at June 30, 1997 included
cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,668,014.  In 
addition, the Company has a certificate of deposit of
$400,000 which matures in less than one year.  

  Net cash used in operating activities was $947,292 and
$141,189 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  The cash used in operating activities
was primarily due to the net loss of $760,655 and an
increase in franchise fees receivable.  

  Net cash used in operating activities for 1996 was primarily
due to the net loss of $677,750. 

  Net cash used in investing activities for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 was due to the acquisition of a certificate
of deposit of $400,000 and the purchase of property and equipment
for $385,990 which was primarily used for cleaning equipment for 
new and existing facilities.

  Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 1997  totaling $841,659 was primarily due to the partial
repayment of $1,000,000 on the note payable to the major stock-
holder of the company.

  During 1996 cash received from financing activities was due to
proceeds on notes payable from stockholders for $213,736.

  In total, net cash and equivalents decreased by $841,659 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 and increased $11,698 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996.
