Note C - Legal Proceedings
On June 23, 1998, Nancy Bernardin, on behalf of herself and PEB, Inc.,
the Huntington, New York franchisee of Ecofranchising, Inc., filed a complaint
with the Supreme Court of the New York, Nassau County, against Ecofranchising,
Inc., Astrid Hindemith and certain former executives of the Company claiming
breach of agreement and representations and requesting, among other matters,
monetary damages of $450,000 and exemplary damages of $2,000,000. The Company
believes that the complaint of Nancy Bernardin and PEB, Inc. is without merit
and intends to vigorously defend its position. In addition, on July 23, 1998,
Ecofranchising, Inc. and Astrid Hindemith counterclaimed against the plaintiffs
for nonpayment of $70,000 in franchising fees and requesting compensation for
additional damages in the amount of $1,000,000. The legal proceedings described
above are in a very early stage and no determination can be made at this time as
to their outcome.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Revenues. Total operating revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 decreased
by $72,000 as compared to the corresponding period in 1997. This represents a
decrease of 52% as compared to the period ending June 30, 1997. This was
primarily due to decreases of $65,000 in cleaning and laundry services and
$10,000 in franchise revenue. Royalty revenue increased from $0 in the second
quarter, 1997 to $3,000 in the second quarter, 1998.
Total operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 decreased by
$173,000 as compared to the corresponding period in 1997. This represents a
decrease of 51% as compared to the period ending June 30, 1997. This was
primarily due to decreases of $80,000 in cleaning and laundry services and
$102,000 in franchise revenue. Royalty revenue increased from $0 in the first
six months of 1997 to $9,000 in the corresponding period in 1998.
Facility operating costs decreased from $215,000 for the second quarter of 1997
to $190,000 for the second quarter of 1998, a decrease of 12%. This decrease can
be largely explained by costs saved by the closing of the Ridgefield, CT
($43,000) and Wilton, CT ($5,000) locations, offset by costs incurred by the
facility in Mahwah, NJ ($39,000) and an increase in costs in the North Moore
Street (NYC) location ($29,000). The former location was not yet operating in
the second quarter of 1997, while the latter location opened during the second
quarter, 1997. Cost controls at the Mamaroneck facility also resulted in $46,000
in expense savings during the current quarter as compared to the second quarter,
1997.
For the first six months of 1998, facility costs increased by $9,000, primarily
due to the current year costs incurred at the facilities which were not
operating during the first quarter, 1997 (Mahwah, Ridgefield, Wilton, North
Moore Street).
General and administrative expenses decreased 36% ($149,000, from $411,000 to
$262,000) for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding
period in 1997. The primary decreases were in the expense categories of
compensation ($48,000) and advertising ($49,000). The company had instituted a
stringent cost-cutting system in March, 1998 which, as anticipated, generated
significant savings in expense categories across-the-board in the second
quarter, 1998.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, general and administrative expenses
decreased by $25,000 from the corresponding period in 1997, due primarily to
decreases in advertising expenses ($36,000).
Depreciation expense increased from $42,000 in the first quarter, 1997 to
$68,000 in the same period in 1998 (an increase of 62%), primarily due to the
large investment in depreciable assets made by the company during 1997.
Other income decreased (88%), from $26,000 during the first quarter, 1997 to
$3,000 during the corresponding period in 1998. In the first six months of 1997,
the company earned substantial interest income from the net proceeds of the
initial public offering that occurred in December, 1996.
Interest expense increased by $17,000, from $11,000 during the first six months
of 1997 to $28,000 in the corresponding period in 1998, primarily due to the
large amount of loans ($750,000) made by the main shareholder during the period
ended June 30, 1998.
Net loss. The net loss was $480,000 ($.13 per share) for the quarter ended June
30, 1998, as compared to a net loss of $511,000 ($.14 per share) for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997. Year-to-date, the 1998 loss was $1,067,000 as compared with
$761,000 in the corresponding period in 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The company's liquidity position at June 30, 1998 included cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $48,000.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,126,000 and $947,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The cash used in operating
activities was primarily due to the net loss of $1,067,000, offset by $132,000
of depreciation. Cash was also used by decreasing accounts payable and accrued
expenses by $160,000 since December 31, 1997.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998
was $375,000, primarily due to the sale of investments ($420,000), offset by the
purchase of property and equipment ($39,000).
Net cash provided by financing activities during the first six months of 1998
was $421,000 (compared with an $842,000 use of funds during the corresponding
period in 1997), due to the addition of $750,000 of loan proceeds from the
primary stockholder, offset by repayment of notes payable of $344,000. (During
the first quarter of 1997, the company had repaid the primary stockholder a
partial repayment of $1,000,000 notes payable.)
In total, net cash and equivalents decreased by $330,000 during the first six
months of 1998 and $2,640,000 in the corresponding period in 1997.
