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

Revenues. Total operating revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1998
decreased by $101,000 as compared to the corresponding period in 1997. This
represents a decrease of 50% as compared to the period ending March 31, 1997.
This was primarily due to decreases of $92,000 in franchise revenue and $15,000
in cleaning and laundry services.

Facility operating costs increased from $191,000 for the first quarter of 1997
to $225,000 for the first quarter of 1998, an increase of 18%. This increase can
be largely explained by costs incurred by facilities in Mahwah, NJ ($9,000) and
New York City ($11,000), which were not yet operating in the first quarter of
1997. The Mamaroneck facility also incurred unusually large freight ($4,000) and
outside services ($6,000) expenses during the 1998 quarter.

General and administrative expenses increased 43% ($109,000, from $252,000 to
$361,000) for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the corresponding
period in 1997. The primary increases were in the expense categories of supplies
($42,000), professional and consulting fees ($32,000) and dues and subscriptions
($22,000). The Company instituted a stringent cost-cutting system in March, 1998
which, it is anticipated, will generate significant savings in the second
quarter of 1998.

Depreciation expense increased from $33,000 (93%) in the first quarter of 1997
to $64,000 in the same period in 1998, primarily due to the large investment in
depreciable assets made by the Company during 1997.

Other income decreased (83%), from $45,000 during the first quarter of 1997 to
$8,000 during the corresponding period in 1998. In the first quarter of
1997, the Company earned substantial interest income from the net proceeds of
the initial public offering that occurred in December 1996.

Net loss. The net loss was $588,000 ($.16 per share) for the quarter ended March
31, 1998 as compared to a net loss of $250,000 ($.07 per share) for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's liquidity position at March 31, 1998 included cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $474,000.

Net cash used in operating activities was $407,000 and $498,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The cash used in operating
activities in the 1998 period was primarily due to the net loss of $588,000,
offset by $64,000 of depreciation. Cash was also provided by an increase in
accounts payable and accrued expenses of $114,000.

Net cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was
$15,000, primarily due to the purchase of property and equipment of $9,000.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $518,000, due to the addition of
$650,000 of loan proceeds from the principal stockholder, offset by repayment of
notes of $132,000. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company repaid
the principal stockholder a partial repayment of $1,000,000 of notes.

In total, net cash and equivalents increased by $96,000 in the first quarter of
1998 and decreased by $1,700,000 in the corresponding period in 1997.
