THE COMPANY
GENERAL
The Company, established in 1947, is the leading supplier of outsourced coin-
operated laundry equipment services for multi-family housing properties in the
United States. The Company's business involves leasing laundry rooms from
building owners and property management companies, installing and servicing the
laundry equipment and collecting revenues generated from laundry machines. The
Company owns and operates approximately 420,000 coin-operated washers and
dryers in approximately 42,000 locations on routes throughout the United States
and in 151 retail laundromats located throughout Texas.
In January 1995, the Company initiated a strategy of controlled growth
through acquisitions. This strategy was designed to increase the installed
machine base in its then existing operating region as well as to provide the
Company with a strong market presence in new regions. Since January 1995, the
Company has completed six significant acquisitions adding revenues of
approximately $221 million and expanding its national presence from the
Northeast into the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, South-Central, Midwest and Western
regions of the United States. Accordingly, the Company has grown its installed
base from approximately 54,000 machines to approximately 420,000 machines.
As a result of this strategy of growth, the Company's revenues and EBITDA
have grown from $72.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively, on a historical
basis for the twelve months ended March 31, 1995, to $306.9 million and $97.8
million (before deducting non-cash stock-based compensation charges),
respectively, for the twelve months ended March 28, 1997 (the "1997 fiscal
year"), on a pro forma basis, giving effect to the acquisitions consummated by
the Company since March 30, 1996.
INDUSTRY
The coin-operated laundry equipment services industry is characterized by
stable cash flows generated by long-term, renewable lease contracts with multi-
family property owners and management companies. The industry is highly
fragmented, with many small, private and family-owned route businesses
continuing to operate throughout all major metropolitan areas. According to
information provided by the Multi-housing Laundry Association, the industry
consists of over 280 independent operators. Based upon industry estimates,
management believes there are approximately 3.5 million installed machines in
multi-family housing properties throughout the United States, approximately 2.5
million of which have been outsourced to independent operators such as the
Company and approximately 1.0 million of which continue to be operated by the
owners of such locations.

<PAGE>
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Company's business strategy is to enhance its position as the largest
provider of outsourced coin-operated laundry equipment services in the United
States. Management intends to continue to grow the Company's installed machine
base both internally and through selective acquisitions to achieve benefits of
scale, increase its operating efficiencies and improve its financial
performance. Internal growth is comprised of: (i) adding new customers in
existing regions and securing contracts for additional locations from current
customers; (ii) converting owner-operated facilities to Company managed
facilities; (iii) improving the net contribution per machine through operating
efficiencies and selective price increases; and (iv) pursuing additional growth
opportunities presented by the Company's leading market position and access to
approximately four million individual housing units. The Company's acquisition
strategy is to continue to selectively acquire local, regional and multi-
regional route businesses from independent operators at attractive prices. The
Company is currently evaluating several acquisition opportunities, however,
there can be no assurance that, subsequent to ongoing negotiations and due
diligence reviews, the Company will complete any such acquisitions.
An important element of the Company's business strategy is to continue to
expand its geographic presence to gain additional regional and multi-regional
account opportunities with large multi-family housing property managers and
owners. Management believes that a significant portion of its customer base,
which manages multi-family housing and other residential properties, is
consolidating. Consequently, management believes that opportunities for
outsourcing coin-operated laundry equipment services to professionally managed,
multi-regional, well-capitalized independent operators such as the Company are
increasing.
The Company's business strategy also includes the continued development of
its management information systems (the "Integrated Computer Systems"), which
management believes are the most advanced in the industry. The Integrated
Computer Systems provide real-time operational and competitive data, which in
conjunction with the Company's multi-regional service capabilities, enhance the
Company's operating efficiencies throughout its regions and enable the Company
to deliver superior customer service. The Integrated Computer Systems also
provide the Company with the flexibility to integrate acquisitions on a timely
basis, including key functions such as sales, service, collections and
security. Finally, as the industry leader, the Company works closely with its
equipment vendors to assess ongoing technological changes and implements those
which the Company believes are beneficial to customer service, operating
efficiencies and financial performance.
FINANCIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BUSINESS
The Company's business has the following financial characteristics:
Recurring Revenues. The Company derives a majority of its revenues from
outsourced coin-operated laundry equipment services typically performed under
long-term contracts with landlords, property management companies and owners of
rental apartment buildings, condominiums and cooperatives, university and
institutional housing and other multi-family housing properties. Management
estimates that approximately 90% of its locations are subject to long-term
contracts with initial terms of three to ten years, most of which have
automatic renewal or right of first refusal provisions. During the 1997 fiscal
year, the Company retained approximately 97% of its existing machine base. The
Company believes that its ability to retain its customers and machine base is
attributable to a number of factors, including the Company's national
reputation for superior service, the structure of its contracts and the
strength of its long-term customer relationships.
Diversified Customer Base. The Company provides outsourced coin-operated
laundry equipment services to over 42,000 laundry rooms in its operating
regions, and no one customer accounts for more than 2% of its revenues.
Management estimates that the Company's services are located in multi-family
housing properties containing over four million individual housing units.

<PAGE>
Leverageable Cash Flows. Due to the stable, recurring nature of the Company's
revenues and its consistent EBITDA levels, the Company has been able to obtain
debt financing on favorable terms to support its acquisition strategy. This use
of debt financing to support growth is an important component of the Company's
financial strategy, and the Company believes that access to both the public and
private debt markets provides it with a competitive advantage.
Benefits of Scale. By increasing its installed machine base, the Company has
benefited from economies of scale in both operating costs and purchasing power.
The Company is able to leverage its existing infrastructure, including its
sales, service, collections, security and corporate overhead, over a larger
installed machine base than its competition. As a result, the Company has been
able to improve its EBITDA margin as it has increased its size. For the twelve
months ended March 29, 1996, the 1997 fiscal year and the six months ended
September 26, 1997, the Company's EBITDA margins were 28.6%, 30.4% and 31.1%,
respectively. Furthermore, due to its purchasing power, management believes
that the Company is able to purchase equipment on terms more favorable for
costs lower than those available to smaller industry participants.
Significant Portion of Capital Investment Related to Growth. During the 1997
fiscal year, the Company spent $213.0 million in capital expenditures, of which
$171.5 million, or approximately 80.6%, was used to finance acquisitions as
part of the Company's growth strategy. Of the remaining capital investment,
$12.5 million, or approximately 5.8%, was used for internally generated growth
and $29.1 million, or approximately 13.6%, related to the renewal of the
Company's existing machine base.

(1) The combined historical audited financial data for the twelve months ended
March 29, 1996 consist of the six month transition period ended March 29,
1996 and the six months ended September 29, 1995.
(2) Total debt does not include the premium of $9.875 million recorded on the
issuance by Coinmach Corporation ("Coinmach") of $100 million aggregate
principal amount of its 11 3/4% Series C Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Series
C Notes") in the Bond Offering.
(3) EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before deductions for
interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA for the year
ending March 28, 1997 and the six months ending September 26, 1997 and
September 27, 1996 is before the deduction of stock-based compensation
charges, and EBITDA for the period ended March 29, 1996 is before the
deduction for restructuring costs. EBITDA is used by management and certain
investors as an indication of a company's historical ability to service
debt. Management believes that an increase in EBITDA is an indicator of the
Company's improved ability to service existing debt, to sustain potential
future increases in debt and to satisfy capital requirements. However,
EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor has it
been presented as an alternative to either (i) operating income (as
determined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")) as an
indicator of operating performance or (ii) cash flows from operating,
investing and financing activities (as determined by GAAP) as a measure of
liquidity. Given that EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance
with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA as
presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
companies. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations."
(4) EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. Management
believes that EBITDA margin is a useful measure to evaluate the Company's
performance over various sales levels. EBITDA margin should not be
considered as an alternative for measurements determined in accordance with
GAAP.
(5) Capital expenditures represent amounts expended for property and equipment,
for advance rental payments to location owners and for acquisitions.
Acquisition capital expenditures represent the amounts expended to acquire
local, regional and multi-regional route operators, as well as
complementary businesses. Growth capital expenditures represent the amount
of capital expended that reflects a net increase in the installed base of
machines, excluding acquisitions. Renewal capital expenditures represent
the amount of capital expended assuming no net increase in the installed
base of machines.
(6) For the year ended March 28, 1997, includes approximately $16.2 million of
promissory notes issued by Coinmach Laundry related to certain
acquisitions.

RISK FACTORS
This Prospectus and other reports and statements filed by Coinmach Laundry
(collectively, "Commission Filings") from time to time with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") contain or may contain certain forward
looking statements and information that are based on the beliefs of the
Company's management as well as estimates and assumptions made by, and
information currently available to, the Company's management. When used in
Commission Filings, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect,"
"future," "intend," "plan" and similar expressions, as they relate to Coinmach
Laundry or its management, identify forward looking statements. Such
statements reflect the current views of the Company with respect to future
events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions
relating to the Company's operations and results of operations, competitive
factors, shifts in market demand, and other risks and uncertainties,
including, in addition to any uncertainties specifically identified in the
text surrounding such statements, uncertainties with respect to changes or
developments in social, economic, business, industry, market, legal and
regulatory circumstances and conditions and actions taken or omitted to be
taken by third parties, including the Company's stockholders, customers,
suppliers, competitors, legislative, regulatory, judicial and other
governmental authorities. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual
results may vary significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated,
expected, intended or planned. The following risk factors should be considered
carefully in addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus
before purchasing the Common Stock offered hereby.
Substantial Indebtedness. The Company will continue to have substantial
indebtedness and debt service requirements after the Offering. As of September
26, 1997, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transactions, the
Company would have had outstanding indebtedness of approximately $375.3
million (excluding the premium on the Series C Notes) and stockholders' equity
of $73.0 million.
The Company's level of indebtedness will have several important effects on
its future operations, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) a
significant portion of the Company's cash flow from operations will be
required to pay interest on its indebtedness and will not be available for
other purposes; (ii) the financial covenants and other restrictions contained
in certain of the agreements governing the Company's indebtedness will require
the Company to meet certain financial tests and will limit its ability to
borrow additional funds, to dispose of assets and to pay dividends; (iii) the
Company's ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working
capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes may
be impaired; and (iv) the Company's ability to adapt to changes in the coin-
operated laundry equipment services industry and to economic conditions in
general could be limited. Coinmach Laundry is a holding company that will be
dependent upon its principal operating subsidiary, Coinmach, as its primary
source of revenue subsequent to the Offering. The financial covenants
contained in the agreements governing Coinmach's indebtedness restrict
Coinmach's ability to make dividends, distributions or other payments to
Coinmach Laundry. Additionally, the Company's ability to meet its debt service
obligations and to reduce its total debt will be dependent upon its future
performance, which will be subject to general economic conditions and to
financial, business and other factors affecting the operations of the Company,
many of which are beyond its control. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and
Capital Resources."
An inability of the Company to comply with the financial covenants or other
conditions contained in the financing agreements governing its indebtedness
could result in an acceleration of the amounts due thereunder. If the Company
is unable to meet its debt service obligations, it could be required to take
certain actions such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures (including
for acquisitions), selling assets, refinancing or restructuring its
indebtedness, selling additional equity capital or other actions. There is no
9
<PAGE>
assurance that any of such actions could be effected on commercially
reasonable terms, if at all, or on terms permitted under the applicable
financing agreements. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Historical Net Losses. In the past, the Company has experienced net losses.
The Company incurred net losses before extraordinary items of approximately
$10.2 million and $7.8 million for the year ended March 28, 1997 and the six
months ended September 26, 1997, respectively. As of September 26, 1997, the
Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $37.0 million. No
assurance can be given that net losses will not continue in future periods.
Dependence Upon Lease Renewals. The Company's business is highly dependent
upon the renewal of its lease contracts with property owners and management
companies. The Company has historically focused on obtaining long-term,
renewable lease contracts, and management estimates that approximately 90% of
its locations are subject to long-term leases with initial terms of three to
ten years. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to renew
its leases as they expire or that new leases will contain the same renewal and
other material terms. See "Business--Operations--Location Leasing."
Risks of Acquisitions and Integration of Acquired Businesses. As part of its
business strategy, the Company will continue to evaluate opportunities to
acquire local, regional and multi-regional route businesses. There can be no
assurance that the Company will find attractive acquisition candidates or
effectively manage the integration of acquired businesses into its existing
business. If the expected operating efficiencies from such transactions do not
materialize, if the Company fails to integrate new businesses into its
existing business, or if the costs of such integration exceed expectations,
the Company's operating results and financial condition would be adversely
affected. Future acquisitions by the Company could result in the incurrence of
debt, the potentially dilutive issuance of equity securities and the
incurrence of contingent liabilities and amortization expenses related to
goodwill and other intangible assets, any of which could adversely affect the
Company's operating results and financial condition.
Capital Requirements. The Company operates in a capital intensive industry
and must continue to make capital expenditures to maintain its operating base.
The Company spent approximately $29.1 million on renewal capital expenditures
for the 1997 fiscal year. While the Company estimates that it will generate
sufficient cash flow from operations to finance anticipated capital
expenditures, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so.
Management of Growth. The Company expects to grow through internal growth
and acquisitions. Management expects to expend significant time and effort in
evaluating, completing and integrating such acquisitions. There can be no
assurance that the Company's systems, procedures and controls will be adequate
to support the Company's operations as they expand. Any future growth will
also impose significant added responsibilities on members of senior
management, including the need to identify, recruit and integrate new senior
level managers and executives. There can be no assurance that such additional
management will be identified and retained by the Company. To the extent that
the Company is unable to manage its growth efficiently and effectively, or is
unable to attract and retain additional qualified management, the Company's
financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely
affected. See "Business--Business Strategy."
Reduced Occupancy Levels. Extended periods of reduced occupancy can
adversely affect the Company's operations. In a period of occupancy decline,
the Company could be faced with reductions in revenues and cash flow from
operations in certain areas. In past periods of occupancy decline, management
designed incentive programs that were successful in maintaining stable profit
margins by
offering owners and management companies financial incentives relating to
increased occupancy levels (and the use of laundry room facilities) in
exchange for certain guaranteed minimum periodic payments.
10
<PAGE>
Although the Company is geographically diversified, there can be no assurance
that the Company will maintain its revenue levels or cash flow from operations
in periods of low occupancy.
Dependence on Key Personnel. The Company's continued success will depend
largely on the efforts and abilities of its executive officers and certain
other key employees, all of whom have employment agreements with the Company.
The Company does not maintain insurance policies with respect to such
employees, and the Company's operations could be affected adversely if, for
any reason, such officers or key employees do not remain with the Company.
Control by Principal Shareholder. Immediately after the Offering, Golder,
Thoma, Cressey, Rauner Fund IV ("GTCR") will own approximately 27.0% of
Coinmach Laundry's outstanding shares of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common
Stock (before giving effect to shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of options which are currently vested and exercisable). GTCR and certain
holders of Common Stock are parties to a Voting Agreement dated July 23, 1996
(the "Voting Agreement") that gives GTCR the ability, at all times that it
holds at least 20% of the outstanding voting securities of Coinmach Laundry,
to designate for election a majority of the Company's directors and therefore
influence the outcome of substantially all issues submitted to Coinmach
Laundry's stockholders, including mergers, sales of all or substantially all
of the Company's assets and similar fundamental corporate changes.
Competition. The coin-operated laundry equipment services industry is highly
competitive, capital intensive and requires reliable, quality service. The
industry is fragmented nationally, with many small, private and family-owned
businesses operating throughout most major metropolitan areas. Notwithstanding
the fragmentation of the industry, there are currently three companies,
including the Company, with significant operations in multiple regions
throughout the United States. Some of the Company's competitors may possess
greater financial and other resources than the Company. Furthermore, current
and potential competitors may make acquisitions or may establish relationships
among themselves or with third parties to increase their ability to compete
within the industry. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors may
emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. If this were to occur,
the business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows of the
Company could be materially adversely affected.
Significant Intangible Assets. Adjusted for the Bond Offering and the
Offering on a pro forma basis, approximately $326.4 million or 56.0% of the
Company's total assets would have been intangible assets, consisting primarily
of contract rights and goodwill as of September 26, 1997. In the event of a
sale or liquidation, there can be no assurance that the value of the Company's
intangible assets would be realized.
Dividend Policy. Coinmach Laundry has not declared or paid any cash
dividends on its capital stock and does not intend to pay cash dividends on
its capital stock in the foreseeable future. Declaration of dividends on the
Common Stock will depend upon, among other things, the Company's results of
operations, financial condition, capital requirements and general business
condition. At the present time, Coinmach Laundry is prohibited by the terms of
the Credit Agreement (as defined) from paying dividends on its capital stock.
See "Dividend Policy."
Environmental Regulation. The Company's business and operations are subject
to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that impose
limitations on the discharge of, and establish standards for the handling,
generation, emission, release, discharge, treatment, storage and disposal of,
certain materials, substances and wastes. To the best of management's
knowledge, there are no existing or potential environmental claims against the
Company, nor has the Company received any notification of responsibility for,
or any inquiry or investigation regarding, any disposal, release or threatened
release of any hazardous material, substance or waste generated by the Company
that is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or
financial condition. However, the Company cannot predict with any certainty
that it will not in the future incur any liability under environmental laws
and regulations that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business or financial condition.
Anti-Takeover Provisions. Certain provisions of Coinmach Laundry's Third
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Third Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation") and the
11
<PAGE>
Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Second Amended and Restated Bylaws")
may discourage, delay or make more difficult a change in control of Coinmach
Laundry, or prevent the removal of incumbent directors even if some, or a
majority, of Coinmach Laundry's stockholders were to deem such an attempt to
be in the best interest of the Company. Among other things, the Third Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation allows the Board of Directors of
Coinmach Laundry (the "Board") to issue shares of preferred stock in the
future and fix the rights, privileges and preferences of those shares without
any further vote or action by the stockholders. The rights of the holders of
Common Stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights
of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. While
Coinmach Laundry has no present intention to issue shares of preferred stock,
any such issuance could have the effect of making it more difficult for a
third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding voting stock of Coinmach
Laundry. In addition, Coinmach Laundry is subject to the anti-takeover
provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which could
have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.
See "Description of Capital Stock."
Shares Eligible for Future Sale. Sales of substantial amounts of Common
Stock in the public market following the Offering could adversely affect the
market price of the Common Stock. Of the 12,998,611 shares of Common Stock and
Non-Voting Common Stock that will be issued and outstanding following the
Offering, 6,697,327 shares of Common Stock will be freely tradeable, except
those purchased by "affiliates" of the Company, as such term is defined under
Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The
remaining 6,301,284 outstanding shares of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common
Stock are considered "restricted securities" for the purpose of Rule 144 under
the Securities Act. The sale of these restricted securities, together with any
shares purchased in the Offering by affiliates, is limited by lock-up
agreements under which the holders of the restricted shares have agreed that
they will not, without the prior written consent of BT Alex. Brown
Incorporated, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of their
shares for a period of 90 days from the date of this Prospectus. After
expiration of such lock-up agreements, all of the 6,301,284 restricted
securities will be eligible for sale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. See
"Shares Eligible for Future Sale."
Possible Volatility of Stock Price. Coinmach Laundry's stock price has been
volatile since its initial public offering. Coinmach Laundry believes that
factors such as quarterly fluctuations in results of operations, announcements
of acquisitions by the Company or by its competitors, changes in revenue,
EBITDA or earnings estimates by securities analysts, developments in
litigation affecting the Company, changes in accounting principles or their
application and other factors may cause the market price of Coinmach Laundry's
stock to continue to fluctuate, perhaps substantially. Due to market and
securities analysts' expectations of continued growth, any shortfall in
meeting such expectations may have a rapid and significant adverse effect on
the trading price of the Common Stock. These fluctuations, as well as general
economic, market and other conditions may adversely affect the market price of
the Common Stock in the future. Fluctuations in the market price of the Common
Stock may in turn adversely affect the Company's ability to complete any
targeted acquisitions, its access to capital and financing and its ability to
attract and retain qualified personnel. See "Price Range of Common Stock."

THE COMPANY
The Company, established in 1947, is the leading supplier of outsourced
coin-operated laundry equipment services for multi-family housing properties
in the United States. The Company's business involves leasing laundry rooms
from building owners and property management companies, installing and
servicing the laundry equipment and collecting revenues generated from laundry
machines. The Company owns and operates approximately 420,000 coin-operated
washers and dryers in approximately 42,000 locations on routes throughout the
United States and in 151 retail laundromats located throughout Texas.
The Company is a Delaware corporation with executive offices located at 55
Lumber Road, Roslyn, New York 11576, and its telephone number is (516) 484-
2300.
Acquisitions. In January 1995, the Company initiated a strategy of
controlled growth through acquisitions. This strategy was designed to increase
the installed machine base in its then existing operating region as well as to
provide the Company with a strong market presence in new regions. Since
January 1995, the Company has completed six significant acquisitions adding
revenues of approximately $221 million and expanding its national presence
from the Northeast into the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, South-Central, Midwest
and Western regions of the United States. Accordingly, the Company has grown
its installed base from approximately 54,000 machines to approximately 420,000
machines.
The acquisitions described below have enabled the Company to increase its
installed machine base, improve its EBITDA margins and expand its geographic
presence through the acquisition of operations in new regions:

</TABLE>
On November 30, 1995, the Company acquired (the "Solon Acquisition") the
capital stock of Solon Automated Services, Inc. ("Solon"), a multi-regional
route operator for $141.5 million. The Solon Acquisition gave the Company an
immediate and significant operating presence in the Mid-Atlantic, South-
Central and Southeast regions.

<PAGE>
On April 1, 1996, Coinmach acquired (the "Allied Acquisition") substantially
all of the assets of Allied Laundry Equipment Company ("Allied"), a regional
route operator located in St. Louis, Missouri for $15.5 million in cash. The
Allied Acquisition provided the Company with a larger market presence in the
Mid-West region.
On January 8, 1997, Coinmach acquired (the "Kwik Wash Acquisition") 100% of
the outstanding voting securities of the partners of Kwik Wash Laundries, L.P.
("Kwik Wash") for $125 million in cash and a $15 million promissory note (the
"9 7/8% Promissory Note"). The Kwik Wash Acquisition increased the Company's
presence in the South-Central region by enabling the Company to provide coin-
operated laundry equipment services to multi-family housing properties in
Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma and to operate 150 retail laundromats
throughout Texas.
On March 14, 1997, Coinmach acquired (the "Appliance Warehouse Acquisition")
substantially all of the assets of Atlanta Washer & Dryer Leasing, Inc.
("Appliance Warehouse"), for approximately $6.3 million in cash and promissory
notes aggregating $1.2 million. The Appliance Warehouse Acquisition increased
the Company's presence in the Southeast region and expanded the Company's
operations into the related machine rental market for individual housing units
providing an additional growth opportunity in a complementary market.
On April 23, 1997, Coinmach completed the acquisition and merger (the
"Reliable Acquisition") of Reliable Holding Corp. ("Reliable") and its
subsidiaries, Reliable Laundry Service Inc., Girard-Hopkins Acquisition Corp.,
Maquilados Automaticas S.A. de C.V., and Automatica S.A. de C.V.
(collectively, the "Reliable Entities") with and into the Company, for $44
million in cash. The Reliable Acquisition provided the Company with a strong
foothold in the California market and an entry into the northern Mexican
market.
On July 17, 1997, Coinmach acquired 100% of the outstanding voting
securities of National Coin Laundry Holding, Inc. ("National Coin"), and
National Laundry Equipment Company, an Ohio corporation ("NLEC"). National
Coin is the parent of National Coin Laundry, Inc., an Ohio corporation ("NCL")
and the assets of Whitmer Vend-O-Mat Laundry Services, Inc. ("Whitmer").
Coinmach acquired (the "National Coin Acquisition") National Coin, NLEC, NCL
and Whitmer (collectively, the "NCL Entities") for an aggregate purchase price
of approximately $19.0 million in cash. The National Coin Acquisition enabled
the Company to further expand its operations in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast,
South-Central and Midwest regions by providing coin-operated laundry equipment
services to multi-family housing properties in the states of Ohio, Indiana,
Kentucky, Michigan, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Tennessee, Illinois
and Florida, as well as distributing exclusive lines of commercial coin and
non-coin laundry machines and parts, and selling service contracts.
As part of its growth strategy, the Company continues to evaluate additional
acquisition opportunities. There can be no assurance however that, subsequent
to ongoing negotiations and due diligence reviews, the Company will complete
any such acquisitions.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to Coinmach Laundry from the sale of the 2,500,000 shares
of Common Stock offered by it hereby are estimated to be $56.5(1) million,
assuming an offering price of $24.50 per share and after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The
Company intends to use such net proceeds to repay $23.5 million of outstanding
Tranche B indebtedness under the Credit Facility(2) (as defined), to repay $15
million of outstanding indebtedness evidenced by the 9 7/8% Promissory
Note,(3) and for general corporate purposes, which may include certain
selected acquisitions. Although the Company has had preliminary discussions
with respect to several acquisition opportunities, no agreement or
understanding with respect to any specific acquisition has been reached. There
can be no assurance that any such acquisitions will be made. Pending such
uses, the Company intends to invest the net proceeds from the Offering in
short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments. The Company will
not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock by the
Selling Stockholders.
In connection with the Offering, the Company intends to amend and restate
its existing senior credit facility (the "Credit Facility") established with
Bankers Trust Company, as administrative agent, and the other lenders named in
the Credit Agreement dated as of January 8, 1997 (as amended, and
supplemented, the "Credit Agreement"). See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and
Capital Resources."

(1) Excludes proceeds to be received from the exercise of options by certain
Selling Stockholders in connection with the Offering in an approximate
amount of $.2 million.
(2) The Tranche B term loan bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus
2.75% (8.4375% as of November 10, 1997), matures on June 30, 2004 and was
incurred to finance the Kwik Wash Acquisition.
(3) Indebtedness evidenced by the 9 7/8% Promissory Note matures on June 15,
2004 and was issued by Coinmach Laundry as partial consideration for the
Kwik Wash Acquisition.

DIVIDEND POLICY
Coinmach Laundry has not declared or paid any cash dividends on the Common
Stock and does not intend to pay cash dividends on its capital stock in the
foreseeable future. The Company currently intends to retain its earnings to
finance the development and expansion of its business. The decision whether to
apply legally available funds to the payment of dividends on the Common Stock
will be made by the Board from time to time in its discretion, taking into
account, among other things, the Company's results of operations, financial
condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, any then existing
or proposed commitments for the use of available funds by the Company, the
Company's obligations with respect to any then outstanding class or series of
its preferred stock and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. At the
present time, the Company is prohibited by the terms of the Credit Agreement
from paying dividends on its capital stock.
At the present time, dividend payments to Coinmach Laundry by its principal
operating subsidiary, Coinmach, are subject to restrictions contained in
certain of Coinmach's outstanding debt and financing agreements. Additionally,
the Company may in the future enter into other agreements or issue debt
securities or preferred stock that restrict the payment of cash dividends. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

DILUTION
The net tangible book value (deficit) of the Company as of September 26,
1997 was approximately ($310.1) million, or ($29.57) per share of Common
Stock. Net tangible book value per share represents the Company's total
tangible assets less its total liabilities, divided by 10,484,926 shares of
Common Stock outstanding. After giving effect to the Bond Offering, and the
Offering at an assumed offering price of $24.50 per share, the pro forma net
tangible book value (deficit) of the Company as of September 26, 1997 would
have been approximately ($253.4) million, or ($19.49) per share. This
adjustment represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of
$10.08 per share to the existing stockholders and an immediate net tangible
book value dilution of $43.99 per share to the investors purchasing shares of
Common Stock in the Offering. The following table illustrates this dilution on
a per share basis:

Options granted by the Company to MCS Capital, Inc. ("MCS"), an entity
beneficially owned by Stephen R. Kerrigan, and to Robert M. Doyle, Michael E.
Stanky, John E. Denson, David Siegel, R. Daniel Osborne, James N. Chapman and
certain other individuals (the "Options"), of which 395,785 shares underlie

the foregoing options excluded from the computations above are exercised in
the future, there will be further dilution to the purchasers of Common Stock
in the Offering.

$9.9 million premium on the Series C Notes (which premium is not included on
the presentation above). The issue price represents a 9.94% yield to
maturity.
(2) As of September 26, 1997, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the
Bond Offering, the Offering and the application of the net proceeds
therefrom, the Company would have had $70.0 million of unused borrowing
capacity under the Credit Facility. Concurrently with the Offering, the
Company intends to amend and restate its Credit Facility. Such amended and
restated Credit Facility is expected to provide for $235 million of
financing consisting of (i) a $35 million working capital revolving credit
facility (undrawn at closing of the Offering), (ii) a $125 million
acquisition revolving credit facility (undrawn at closing of the Offering)
and (iii) a $75 million term loan facility (fully funded at closing of the
Offering). The working capital revolving credit facility and the acquisition
revolving credit facility are expected to have a maturity of six years, and
the term loan facility is expected to have a maturity of seven years. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial and Condition and Results
of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet of the Company as
of September 26, 1997, gives effect to the Bond Offering and the Offering and
the application of the proceeds therefrom as if such transactions occurred as
of September 26, 1997. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of
operations of the Company for the 1997 fiscal year and the six month interim
period ended September 26, 1997 give effect to the Transactions, as if such
transactions occurred on March 30, 1996. For information regarding the
Offering, see "Use of Proceeds."
The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information as
well as upon certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable. Each
of the acquisitions comprising the Transactions were accounted for as a
purchase with assets recorded at their estimated fair market values.
Management believes that actual fair market value adjustments, if any, will
not differ materially from the preliminary allocation of the purchase price
contained in the pro forma adjustments reflected in the pro forma financial
information.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have
been achieved had the foregoing transactions been consummated as of the
indicated dates. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the notes thereto and the historical consolidated
financial statements of the Company, together with the related notes thereto,
presented elsewhere in or incorporated by reference in, this Prospectus.

and September 27, 1996 is before the deduction for stock based
compensation charges, and EBITDA for the period ended March 29, 1996 is
before the deduction for restructuring costs. EBITDA is used by management
and certain investors as an indication of a company's ability to service
existing debt, to sustain potential future increases in debt and to
satisfy capital requirements. However, EBITDA is not intended to represent
cash flows for the period, nor has it been presented as an alternative to
either: (i) operating income (as determined by GAAP) as an indicator of
operating performance or (ii) cash flows from operating, investing and
financing activities (as determined by GAAP) as a measure of liquidity.
Given that EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP
and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA as presented may
not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
(6) EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. Management
believes that EBITDA margin is a useful measure to evaluate the Company's
performance over various sales levels. EBITDA margin should not be
considered as an alternative for measurements determined in accordance
with GAAP.
(7) Operating margin represents operating income as a percentage of revenues.
(8) Capital expenditures include additions to property and equipment, advance
rental payments to location owners and acquisitions.

<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company's primary financial objective is to increase its EBITDA, which
is a source of funds to service indebtedness and for investment in both
continued internal growth and acquisitions. In the 1997 fiscal year and the
six months ended September 26, 1997, the Company experienced net losses. Such
net losses are attributable in part to significant non-cash charges associated
with the Company's execution of its business strategy, namely, (i) high levels
of depreciation and lease amortization expenses related to the addition of new
machines and customers and (ii) increases in goodwill amortization associated
with acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
The Company is principally engaged in the business of supplying outsourced
coin-operated laundry equipment services to multi-family housing properties.
The Company owns and operates approximately 420,000 coin-operated washers and
dryers in approximately 42,000 multi-family housing properties on routes
throughout the United States and 151 retail laundromats located throughout
Texas.
The Company provides outsourced coin-operated laundry equipment services to
locations by leasing laundry rooms from building owners and property
management companies, typically on a long-term, renewable basis. In return for
the exclusive right to provide these services, most of the Company's contracts
provide for commission payments to the location owners. Commission expense
(also referred to as rent expense), the Company's single largest expense item,
is included in laundry operating expenses and represents payments to location
owners. Commissions may be fixed amounts or percentages of revenues and are
generally paid monthly. Also included in laundry operating expenses are the
cost of servicing and collections in the route business, including, payroll,
parts, vehicles and other related items, the cost of sales associated with
Super Laundry Equipment Corp. ("Super Laundry") and certain expenses related
to the operation of retail laundromats.
In addition to commission payments, many of the Company's leases require the
Company to make advance rental payments to the location owners. These advance
payments are capitalized and amortized over the life of the applicable lease.
Other revenue sources for the Company include: (i) leasing laundry equipment
and other household appliances and electronic items to corporate relocation
entities, individuals, property owners and managers of multi-family housing
properties (approximately $1.5 million for the six months ended September 26,
1997); (ii) operating, maintaining and servicing retail laundromats
(approximately $10.5 million for the six months ended September 26, 1997); and
(iii) constructing complete turnkey retail laundromats, retrofitting existing
retail laundromats, distributing exclusive lines of commercial coin and non-
coin machines and parts, and selling service contracts (approximately $12.3
million for the six months ended September 26, 1997).

<PAGE>
SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 26, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED
SEPTEMBER 27, 1996
Revenues increased by approximately 59% for the six month period ended
September 26, 1997, as compared to the prior year's corresponding period. The
improvement in revenues for the six month period consisted primarily of
increased route revenues resulting from the Kwik Wash Acquisition, the
Reliable Acquisition and the National Coin Acquisition. The Company's
acquisition strategy includes the complete integration of its acquired
companies. The Company estimates that approximately $50.0 million of its
revenue increase is the combined result of the Kwik Wash Acquisition, the
Reliable Acquisition and the National Coin Acquisition based on the historical
revenue of such acquired companies. In addition, during such six-month period,
the Company's installed base increased by approximately 9,400 machines from
internal growth (excluding the machines added from the Reliable Acquisition
and the National Coin Acquisition) as compared to an increase of approximately
4,200 machines during the prior year's corresponding period.
Laundry operating expenses increased by approximately 58% for the six month
period ended September 26, 1997, as compared to the prior year's corresponding
period. The increase was due primarily to an increase in laundry operating
expenses related to the Kwik Wash Acquisition, the Reliable Acquisition and
the National Coin Acquisition.
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.8 million,
for the six month period ended September 26, 1997, as compared to the prior
year's corresponding period. The increase for the period was primarily due to
various expenses associated with: (i) costs relating to the Company's
acquisition strategy, including legal and financial due diligence
investigations of potential targets and related costs; (ii) the development
and implementation of procedures for the management of investor relations; and
(iii) systems development and refinement relating to the integration of prior
acquisitions.
Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately 71% for the six
month period ended September 26, 1997, as compared to the prior year's
corresponding period, due primarily to the contract rights and goodwill
associated with the Kwik Wash Acquisition, the Reliable Acquisition and the
National Coin Acquisition, as well as an increase in capital expenditures for
the installed base of machines. As a result of the Company's acquisition
activity since early 1995, the Company incurred approximately $18.9 million in
non-cash depreciation and amortization charges for the six months ended
September 26, 1997 as compared to $11.7 million for the prior year's
corresponding period.
In July 1996, Coinmach Laundry issued in privately negotiated transactions,
79,029 shares of its Class B common stock to certain members of management.
Coinmach Laundry recorded a stock-based compensation charge of approximately
$887,000 attributable to the issuance of such stock. In addition, in July 1996
approximately $103,000 of receivables relating to loans to management in
connection with prior purchases of Common Stock were forgiven and have been
recorded as a stock-based compensation charge.
During July and September 1996, Coinmach Laundry granted nonqualified
options (the "Options") to purchase Common Stock, to certain members of
management and certain other individuals, which enable such persons to
purchase shares of Common Stock at a 15% discount to the initial offering
price of Common Stock. With respect to the Options granted to its employees,
the Company will record such discount as a stock-based compensation charge
over the applicable four year vesting period. The Company also granted options
to two of its disinterested directors (the "Independent Director Options"),
which enable such persons to purchase an aggregate of 120,000 shares of Common
Stock at the initial offering price of Common Stock. The Company will record
the difference between the exercise price of the Independent Director Options
and the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant as a stock-
based compensation charge over the applicable three year vesting period.

<PAGE>
In September 1997, Coinmach Laundry granted non-qualified options (the "1997
Options") to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock to
certain members of management at an exercise price of $11.90 per share of
Common Stock. The Company will record the difference between the exercise
price of the 1997 Options and the fair market value of the Common Stock on the
date of grant as a stock-based compensation charge over the applicable four
year vesting period.
For the six months ended September 26, 1997 and September 27, 1996, the
Company recorded a stock-based compensation charge of approximately $545,000
and $470,000 respectively, relating to the Options, the Independent Director
Options and the 1997 Options.
Operating income margins were approximately 8% for the six month period
ended September 26, 1997, as compared to approximately 7%, for the six month
period ended September 27, 1996.
Interest expense, net increased by approximately 74%, for the six month
period ended September 26, 1997, as compared to the prior year's corresponding
period, due primarily to increased interest payable under the Credit Facility
resulting from increased borrowings to fund acquisitions.
EBITDA (earnings before deductions for interest, income taxes, depreciation
and amortization) before deduction for the stock-based compensation charges,
was approximately $46.6 million for the six months ended September 26, 1997,
as compared to approximately $28.7 million for the corresponding period in
1996, representing an improvement of approximately 62%. EBITDA margin improved
to approximately 31.1% for the six months ended September 26, 1997, compared
to approximately 30.4% for the prior year's corresponding period.

Revenues increased by approximately 16% for the 1997 fiscal year as compared
to the prior fiscal year. The improvement in revenues was primarily
attributable to increased route revenues resulting from internal expansion,
the Allied Acquisition, the Kwik Wash Acquisition and an increase in revenues
from Super Laundry. The Company's acquisition strategy includes the complete
integration of its acquired companies. The Company estimates that
approximately $24.0 million of its revenue increase is the combined result of
the Allied Acquisition and the Kwik Wash Acquisition based on the historical
revenue results of such acquired companies. During the 1997 fiscal year, the
Company's installed base increased by approximately 7,500 machines from
internal growth due primarily to the elimination of capital constraints
existing at Solon prior to the 1995 merger of Solon with a predecessor of the
Company (the "Merger"), as compared to a reduction of approximately 750
machines during the twelve months ended March 29, 1996.
Laundry operating expenses increased by approximately 13% for the 1997
fiscal year, as compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was due
primarily to the Allied Acquisition and the Kwik Wash Acquisition as well as
an increase in the cost of sales related to Super Laundry's increased sales
volume. Such increase in laundry operating expenses was partially offset by
the implementation of cost savings programs in the Company's field operations
and the consolidation of certain operating regions.
General and administrative expenses increased slightly by approximately $0.4
million or 10% for the 1997 fiscal year as compared to the prior fiscal year.
The increase for the period was due to expenses associated with: (i) costs
relating to the Company's acquisition strategy, including legal and financial
due diligence investigations of potential targets and related costs; (ii) the
development and implementation of procedures for the management of investor
relations; and (iii) systems development and refinement relating to the
integration of prior acquisitions. This increase was partially offset by a
reduction of certain expenses resulting from the consolidation of the
Company's corporate staff into its existing facility in Roslyn, New York on
September 29, 1995.
Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately 27% for the 1997
fiscal year, as compared to the prior twelve month period, due primarily to
the Allied Acquisition and the Kwik Wash Acquisition, as well as an increase
in capital expenditures for the installed base of machines resulting from the
elimination of capital constraints existing at Solon prior to the Merger. As a
result of the Company's acquisition activity since early 1995, the Company
incurred approximately $26.8 million in non-cash purchase accounting related
depreciation and amortization charges for the 1997 fiscal year as compared to
$23.6 million for the prior twelve month period.
The Company incurred restructuring costs of approximately $2.2 million
during the twelve months ended March 29, 1996 to cover severance obligations
to certain personnel, costs to relocate certain corporate functions to Roslyn,
New York, systems integration costs, and expenses related to the consolidation
of certain of its regional offices, in each case, as a result of the April
1995 acquisition of Solon and the Merger.
The extraordinary items for the 1997 fiscal year consisted of costs related
to the extinguishment of debt in February 1997 and the termination of the then
existing revolving credit facility. The extraordinary items for the six month
period ending March 29, 1996 consisted of costs related to the extinguishment
of debt in connection with a debt refinancing in November 1995 (the
"Refinancing").
In July 1996, Coinmach Laundry issued, in privately negotiated transactions,
79,029 shares of its Class B common stock to certain members of management.
Coinmach Laundry recorded a stock-based compensation charge of approximately
$887,000 attributable to the issuance of such stock. In addition,
approximately $103,000 of receivables relating to loans to management in
connection with prior purchases of Common Stock were forgiven and have been
recorded as a stock-based compensation charge.
30
<PAGE>
During the 1997 fiscal year, Coinmach Laundry recorded a stock-based
compensation charge of approximately $1,162,000 relating to the Options.
The Company's operating income margin, approximately 7% of revenues for the
1997 fiscal year, was equal to that for the twelve months ended March 29,
1996.
Interest expense, net, increased by approximately 13% for the 1997 fiscal
year as compared to the prior twelve months due primarily to the Refinancing
in November 1995 as well as entering into the Credit Agreement in January
1997. Partially offsetting this increase in interest expense was the decrease
in the effective interest rate applied against outstanding borrowings as the
result of the Refinancing, as well as interest income earned on excess cash
balances generated from operations.
EBITDA was approximately $62.8 million (before deduction for stock-based
compensation charges) for the 1997 fiscal year as compared to approximately
$51.2 million (before deduction for restructuring costs) for the prior twelve
months, representing an improvement of approximately 23%. EBITDA margins
improved to approximately 30.4% of revenues for the current year compared to
approximately 28.6% of revenues for the prior twelve months.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As the Company has focused on increasing its EBITDA, it has made significant
capital investments, primarily consisting of acquisitions, renewal and growth
capital expenditures. For the twelve months ended March 29, 1996, the 1997
fiscal year and the six months ended September 26, 1997, cash flows used in
investing activities totaled approximately $39.2 million, $196.7 million and
$91.9 million, respectively. These investments have been primarily funded
through cash flows from operations and borrowings under the Credit Facility.
The Company intends to amend and restate the Credit Facility concurrently
with the Offering. The amended and restated Credit Facility is expected to
provide $235 million of financing consisting of (i) a $35 million working
capital revolving credit facility (undrawn at closing of the Offering) bearing
interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%; (ii) a $125 million
acquisition revolving credit facility (undrawn at closing of the Offering)
bearing interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%; and (iii) a $75
million term loan facility (fully funded at closing of the Offering) bearing
interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 2.00%. The working capital revolving
credit facility and the acquisition revolving credit facility are expected to
mature in six years, and the term loan facility is expected to mature in seven
years. There can be no assurances, however, that the Company will amend and
restate such Credit Facility.
The Company anticipates that it will continue to utilize cash flows from
operations to finance its capital expenditures and working capital needs,
including interest payments on its outstanding indebtedness. Capital
expenditures for the six months ended September 26, 1997 were approximately
$91.9 million. Of such amount, the Company spent approximately $66.3 million
in acquisition and related transaction costs, including the Reliable
Acquisition, and approximately $8.0 million related to the net increase in the
installed base of machines. The balance was used for renewal of the Company's
existing machine base and for general corporate purposes.
During the 1997 fiscal year, the Company spent $213.0 million in capital
expenditures, of which $171.5 million, or approximately 80.6%, was used for
the execution of the Company's acquisition strategy. Of the remaining capital
investment, $12.5 million, or approximately 5.8%, was used for internally
generated growth and $29.1 million, or approximately 13.6%, related primarily
to expenditures for the renewal of the Company's existing machine base. The
full impact on revenues and EBITDA generated from capital expended on
acquisitions and the net increase in the installed base are not expected to be
reflected in the Company's financial results until subsequent reporting
periods. The age of the Company's equipment is evenly distributed over its
machine base, and management estimates that no more than
31
<PAGE>
approximately 12% of its machine base is likely to be replaced in any given
year. The Company anticipates that renewal capital expenditures, which exclude
acquisitions and capital expenditures for internal growth, will be
approximately $38.0 million for the twelve months ending March 31, 1998. While
the Company estimates that it will generate sufficient cash flows from
operations to finance anticipated capital expenditures, there can be no
assurances that it will be able to do so. The Company also relies upon
available credit under its existing credit facility as an additional source of
revenue for capital expenditures.
On a pro forma basis, after giving effect to all route acquisitions
consummated through July 1997 as if such transactions occurred at the
beginning of such period, the Company spent $290.2 million on capital
expenditures for the 1997 fiscal year (including approximately $233.9 million
in acquisition and related transaction costs).
The Company's working capital requirements are, and are expected to continue
to be, minimal since a significant portion of the Company's operating expenses
are not paid until after cash is collected from the installed machines. In
connection with certain of the financing agreements governing the Company's
indebtedness, Coinmach is required to make monthly cash interest payments
under the Credit Facility and semi-annual cash interest payments on the Series
B Notes and the Series C Notes.
The Company's depreciation and amortization expenses (aggregating
approximately $46.3 million and $34.6 million for the 1997 fiscal year and the
six months ended September 26, 1997, respectively) have the effect of reducing
net income but not operating cash flow. In accordance with GAAP, a significant
portion of the purchase prices of businesses acquired by the Company is
allocated to "contract rights", which costs are amortized over periods of up
to 15 years.
On October 8, 1997, Coinmach completed the private placement (the "Bond
Offering") of $100 million aggregate principal amount of its Series C Notes on
substantially identical terms as its outstanding Series B 11 3/4% Senior Notes
due 2005 (the "Series B Notes"). The issue price was 109.875%, representing a
9.94% yield to maturity. Substantially all of the proceeds of the Bond
Offering were used to reduce Coinmach's outstanding indebtedness under the
Credit Facility, including the repayment of all revolving loan and Tranche A
term loan indebtedness.
Management believes that the Company's future operating activities will
generate sufficient cash flow to repay borrowings under the Series B Notes,
the Series C Notes and the Credit Facility or to permit any necessary
refinancings thereof. An inability of the Company, however, to comply with
covenants or other conditions contained in the indenture governing the Series
B Notes (the "Series B Indenture"), the indenture governing the Series C Notes
(the "Series C Indenture") or in the Credit Agreement could result in an
acceleration of all amounts due under the Series B Indenture, the Series C
Indenture and the Credit Agreement. If the Company is unable to meet its debt
service obligations, it could be required to take certain actions such as
reducing or delaying capital expenditures, selling assets, refinancing or
restructuring its indebtedness, selling additional equity capital or other
actions. There is no assurance that any of such actions could be effected on
commercially reasonable terms, if at all, or on terms permitted under the
Credit Agreement, the Series B Indenture or the Series C Indenture.
The Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness to facilitate its
acquisition strategy is limited by the covenants and other restrictions
imposed by the Series B Indenture, the Series C Indenture and the Credit
Agreement, including, without limitation, compliance with certain financial
covenants and maintenance tests and ratios, including debt to equity and fixed
charge coverage ratios. As of November 1, 1997, subject to compliance with the
foregoing covenants, the Company would have had approximately $98.5 million of
availability under its revolving credit facility. The amount of additional
indebtedness the Company is able to incur to further facilitate its
acquisition strategy is dependent upon a number of variables, including,
without limitation, the pro forma effects of the acquisition with respect to
which such additional indebtedness is to be incurred.

INFLATION AND SEASONALITY
In general, the Company's laundry operating expenses and general and
administrative expenses are affected by inflation and the effects of inflation
may be experienced by the Company in future periods. Management believes that
such effects have not been nor will be material to the Company. The Company's
business generally is not seasonal.

BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
The Company, established in 1947, is the leading supplier of outsourced
coin-operated laundry equipment services for multi-family housing properties
in the United States. The Company's business involves leasing laundry rooms
from building owners and property management companies, installing and
servicing the laundry equipment and collecting revenues generated from laundry
machines. The Company owns and operates approximately 420,000 coin-operated
washers and dryers in approximately 42,000 locations on routes throughout the
United States and in 151 retail laundromats located throughout Texas.
In January 1995, the Company initiated a strategy of controlled growth
through acquisitions. This strategy was designed to increase the installed
machine base in its then existing operating region as well as to provide the
Company with a strong market presence in new regions. Since January 1995, the
Company has completed six significant acquisitions adding revenues of
approximately $221 million and expanding its national presence from the
Northeast into the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, South-Central, Midwest and Western
regions of the United States. Accordingly, the Company has grown its installed
base from approximately 54,000 machines to approximately 420,000 machines.
As a result of this strategy of growth, the Company's revenues and EBITDA
have grown from $72.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively, on a historical
basis for the twelve months ended March 31, 1995, to $306.9 million and $97.8
million (before deducting non-cash stock based compensation charges),
respectively, for the 1997 fiscal year, on a pro forma basis, giving effect to
the acquisitions consummated by the Company since March 30, 1996.
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Company's business strategy is to enhance its position as the largest
provider of outsourced coin-operated laundry equipment services in the United
States. Management intends to continue to grow the Company's installed machine
base both internally and through selective acquisitions to achieve benefits of
scale, increase its operating efficiencies and improve its financial
performance. Internal growth is comprised of: (i) adding new customers in
existing regions and securing contracts for additional locations from current
customers; (ii) converting owner-operated facilities to Company managed
facilities; (iii) improving the net contribution per machine through operating
efficiencies and selective price increases; and (iv) pursuing additional
growth opportunities presented by the Company's leading market position and
access to approximately four million individual housing units. The Company's
acquisition strategy is to continue to selectively acquire local, regional and
multi-regional route businesses from independent operators at attractive
prices. The Company is currently evaluating several acquisition opportunities,
however, there can be no assurance that, subsequent to ongoing negotiations
and due diligence reviews, the Company will complete any such acquisitions.
An important element of the Company's business strategy is to continue to
expand its geographic presence to gain additional regional and multi-regional
account opportunities with large multi-family housing property managers and
owners. Management believes that a significant portion of its customer base,
which manages multi-family housing and other residential properties, is
consolidating. Consequently, management believes that opportunities for
outsourcing coin-operated laundry equipment services to professionally
managed, multi-regional, well-capitalized independent operators such as the
Company are increasing.
The Company's business strategy also includes the continued development of
the Integrated Computer Systems which management believes are the most
advanced in the industry. The Integrated Computer Systems provide real-time
operational and competitive data, which in conjunction with the Company's
multi-regional service capabilities, enhance the Company's operating
efficiencies throughout
34
<PAGE>
its regions and enable the Company to deliver superior customer service. The
Integrated Computer systems also provide the Company with the flexibility to
integrate acquisitions on a timely basis, including key functions such as
sales, service, collections and security. Finally, as the industry leader, the
Company works closely with its equipment vendors to assess ongoing
technological changes and implements those which the Company believes are
beneficial to operating efficiencies and financial performance.
GROWTH STRATEGY
The Company's growth strategy is to increase operating cash flow and
profitability through a combination of internal expansion and acquisitions.
Internal Expansion. Internal expansion is comprised of: (i) increasing the
installed machine base by adding new customers and increasing the number of
locations with existing customers; (ii) converting owner-operated facilities
to Company managed facilities; (iii) improving the net contribution per
machine through operating efficiencies and selective price increases; and (iv)
pursuing additional growth opportunities presented by its leading market
position and access to approximately four million individual housing units.
New Customers and Locations. The Company's sales and marketing efforts
focus on two areas of expansion within its existing operating regions. The
Company's primary means of internal expansion is by marketing the Company's
products and services to building managers and property owners whose leases
with other laundry equipment services providers are near expiration. The
Company's Integrated Computer Systems track information on the lease
expirations of its competitors. The Company believes that its leading
market position and expanding geographic presence, primarily achieved
through acquisitions, enhances its ability to gain new customers and
additional locations from its existing customers.
Conversions. Management believes that there are approximately 1.0 million
machines installed in locations which continue to be managed by owner-
operators. Building owners or managers can forgo significant cash outlays
by contracting with the Company to purchase, service and maintain laundry
equipment. Accordingly, the Company pursues building owners and managers
who will contract with the Company to outsource their coin-operated laundry
facilities. The Company offers a full range of services from the design,
construction and installation of new laundry facilities to the
refurbishment of existing facilities. Management believes these services
provide a competitive advantage in securing new customers.
Operating Efficiencies and Price Increases. The Company focuses on
improving its net contribution per machine through achieving operating
efficiencies and selective price increases. Due to factors beyond the
Company's control, however, there can be no assurance that such efficiency
or price increases will occur.
Other Growth Opportunities. While management intends to continue its
focus on increasing its installed machine base, management believes that
its leading market position and its access to over four million housing
units provides the Company with additional growth and diversification
opportunities. These opportunities include laundry equipment rental as well
as other route based facilities management services. In addition, the
Company is discussing the formation of strategic alliances with vendors of
products complimentary to its customer base. See "--Other Operations."
Management believes that its strategy of growth within its existing
operating regions will result in additional economies of scale and operating
efficiencies associated with an expanded machine base. Such growth, however,
will be dependent upon a number of factors beyond the Company's control, such
as the Company's ability to secure new contracts from owner-operators on
commercially favorable terms and competitive forces that may reduce the number
of opportunities to secure new locations or to effect price increases.
35
<PAGE>
Acquisitions. The Company intends to continue to capitalize on opportunities
within the fragmented coin-operated laundry equipment services industry
through selective acquisitions of additional route businesses. It has been the
Company's experience that there are numerous private, family-owned businesses
that often lack the financial resources to provide advance rental payments,
install new equipment, make laundry room improvements or otherwise compete
effectively with larger independent operators such as the Company to secure
new or existing contracts. Consequently, such independent operators,
especially those which are undergoing generational ownership changes,
represent potential acquisition opportunities for the Company. See "The
Company--Acquisitions."
Management believes the Company is well positioned to capitalize on
acquisition opportunities due to its operating efficiencies, its access to
capital resources, and senior management's extensive experience and
relationships in the industry. The Company evaluates potential acquisitions
based on the size of the business (in terms of revenues and machine base), the
geographic concentration of the business, market penetration, service history,
customer relations, existing contract terms and potential operating
efficiencies and cost savings. The Company considers three types of
acquisition candidates: (i) small, local route operators; (ii) regional route
operators; and (iii) large, multi-regional route operators.
Local route operators. The purchase of small, local operators (businesses
operating within one of the Company's existing regions) results in
eliminating most of the target's existing cost structure through the
complete absorption of its machine base into the Company's operations. The
Company's experience has been that the acquisition of local route operators
has increased operating leverage within its operating regions. In many
instances, the Company is able to acquire routes adjacent to its existing
areas of operation without incurring significant incremental operating
costs.
Regional route operators. The Company's acquisition of regional route
operators provides opportunities to improve its cash flow by eliminating
duplicative corporate and administrative functions, reducing capital
expenditures through improved purchasing power and implementing the
Company's Integrated Computer Systems. Since April 1, 1996, the Company has
completed the Allied Acquisition, the Reliable Acquisition and the National
Coin Acquisition. The Allied Acquisition has been substantially integrated
and, in addition to improving the Company's cash flow, has allowed the
Company to establish a larger market presence in the Mid-West. Management
expects to integrate substantially all of the operations formerly conducted
by the Reliable Entities and the NCL Entities into the Company's operations
during 1997 and to achieve targeted cost savings as a result of such
integration.
Multi-regional route operators. Management believes that the acquisition
of a large, multi-regional route operator results in a number of operating
efficiencies, including significant cost savings through the elimination of
duplicative financial and administrative functions and related fixed costs.
In addition, the increased volume of equipment purchases usually results in
reduced per unit capital expenditures. As is the case with all
acquisitions, the Company's Integrated Computer Systems are utilized to
provide further operating efficiencies and related cost savings. Kwik Wash
is an example of a multi-regional acquisition which enabled the Company to
substantially increase its operating base, add several experienced regional
managers, penetrate new markets and, along with the aforementioned regional
acquisitions, become the largest industry participant.
As part of the Company's growth strategy, the Company continues to evaluate
acquisition opportunities. There can be no assurance however that, subsequent
to ongoing negotiations and due diligence reviews, the Company will complete
any such acquisitions.
FINANCIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BUSINESS
The Company's business has the following financial characteristics:
Recurring Revenues. The Company derives a majority of its revenues from
outsourced coin-operated laundry equipment services typically performed under
long-term contracts with landlords,
36
<PAGE>
property management companies and owners of rental apartment buildings,
condominiums and cooperatives, university and institutional housing and other
multi-family housing properties. Management estimates that approximately 90%
of its locations are subject to long-term contracts with initial terms of
three to ten years, most of which have automatic renewal or right of first
refusal provisions. During the 1997 fiscal year, the Company retained
approximately 97% of its existing machine base. The Company believes that its
ability to retain its customers and machine base is attributable to a number
of factors, including the Company's national reputation for superior service,
the structure of its contracts and the strength of its long-term customer
relationships.
Diversified Customer Base. The Company provides outsourced coin-operated
laundry equipment services to over 42,000 laundry rooms in its operating
regions, and no one customer accounts for more than 2% of its revenues.
Management estimates that the Company's services are located in multi-family
housing properties containing over four million individual housing units.
Leverageable Cash Flows. Due to the stable, recurring nature of the
Company's revenues and its consistent EBITDA levels, the Company has been able
to obtain debt financing on favorable terms to support its acquisition
strategy. This use of debt financing to support growth is an important
component of the Company's financial strategy, and the Company believes that
access to both the public and private debt markets provides it with a
competitive advantage.
Benefits of Scale. By increasing its installed machine base, the Company has
benefited from economies of scale in both operating costs and purchasing
power. The Company is able to leverage its existing infrastructure, including
its sales, service, collections, security and corporate overhead, over a
larger installed machine base than its competition. As a result, the Company
has been able to improve its EBITDA margin as it has increased its size. For
the twelve months ended March 29, 1996, the 1997 fiscal year and the six
months ended September 26, 1997, the Company's EBITDA margins were 28.6%,
30.4% and 31.1%, respectively. Furthermore, due to its purchasing power,
management believes that the Company is able to purchase equipment on terms
more favorable than those available to smaller industry participants.
Significant Portion of Capital Investment Related to Growth. During the 1997
fiscal year, the Company spent $213.0 million in capital expenditures, of
which $171.5, or approximately 80.6%, was used to finance acquisitions as part
of the Company's growth strategy. Of the remaining capital investment, $12.5
million, or approximately 5.8%, was used for internally generated growth and
$29.1 million, or approximately 13.6%, related to the renewal of the Company's
existing machine base.
INDUSTRY
The coin-operated laundry equipment services industry is characterized by
stable cash flows generated by long-term, renewable lease contracts with
multi-family housing property owners and management companies. The industry is
highly fragmented, with many small, private and family-owned route businesses
continuing to operate throughout all major metropolitan areas. According to
information provided by the Multi-housing Laundry Association, the industry
consists of over 280 independent operators. Based upon industry estimates,
management believes there are approximately 3.5 million installed machines in
multi-family properties throughout the United States, approximately 2.5
million of which have been outsourced to independent operators such as the
Company and approximately 1.0 million of which continue to be operated by the
owners of such locations.
The industry is highly capital intensive and customers require prompt and
reliable service. The majority of capital costs are incurred upon procurement
of new leases. Initial costs include replacing or repairing existing washers
and dryers, refurbishing laundry rooms and making advance rental payments to
secure long-term, renewable leases. After the initial expenditures, ongoing
working capital requirements are minimal, since machines operate throughout
the term of the contract under which they are installed if serviced properly,
and variable costs are paid out of revenues collected from the machines.
37
<PAGE>
Historically, the industry has been characterized by stable demand and has
proven to be resistant to changing market conditions and general economic
cycles. Management believes that the industry's consistent and predictable
revenue and cash flow from operations are primarily due to: (i) the long-term
nature of location leases; (ii) the stable demand for laundry services; and
(iii) minimal ongoing working capital requirements.
OPERATIONS
The principal aspects of the Company's operations include: (i) sales and
marketing; (ii) location leasing; (iii) service; (iv) information management;
(v) remanufacturing and (vi) collection security.
Sales and Marketing. The Company markets its products and services through a
sales staff with an average industry experience of over ten years. The
principal responsibility of the sales staff is to solicit and negotiate lease
arrangements with building owners and managers. All sales personnel are paid
commissions that comprise 50% or more of their annual compensation. Selling
commissions are based on a percentage of a location's annualized earnings
before interest and taxes. Sales personnel must be proficient with the
application of sophisticated financial analyses which calculate minimum
returns on investment to achieve the Company's targeted goals in securing
location contracts and renewals. Management believes that its sales staff is
among the most competent and effective in the industry.
The Company's marketing strategy emphasizes service excellence offered by
its experienced, highly skilled personnel and its quality equipment that
maximizes efficiency and revenue and minimizes machine down-time.
Additionally, the Integrated Computer Systems monitor performance, repairs and
maintenance, as well as the profitability of locations on a daily basis. The
Company's sales staff targets potential new and renewal lease locations by
utilizing its Integrated Computer Systems' extensive database that provides
information on the Company's, as well as its competitors' locations. All sales
activity, from sale entries to data on service and installation, is recorded
and monitored daily on a custom-designed, computerized sales planner.
No single customer represents more than 2% of the Company's revenues or
installed machine base. In addition, the Company's ten largest customers taken
together account for less than 10% of the Company's revenues.
Location Leasing. The Company's leases provide the Company the exclusive
right to operate and service the laundry equipment, including repairs and
maintenance. The Company typically sets pricing for the use of the machines on
location, and the property owner or property manager maintains the premises
and provides utilities such as gas, electricity and water.
In return for the exclusive right to provide laundry equipment services,
most of the Company's leases provide for monthly commission payments to the
location owners. Under the majority of leases, these commissions are based on
a percentage of the cash collected from the laundry machines. Many of the
Company's leases require the Company to make advance rental payments to the
location owner in addition to commissions. The Company's leases typically
include provisions that allow for unrestricted price increases, a right of
first refusal (an opportunity to match competitive bids at the expiration of
the lease term) and termination rights if the Company does not receive minimum
net revenues from a lease. The Company has some flexibility in negotiating its
leases and, subject to regional competitive factors, may vary the terms and
conditions of a lease, including commission rates and advance rental payments.
The Company evaluates each lease opportunity through its Integrated Computer
Systems which are designed to achieve certain targeted levels of return on
investment.
Management estimates that approximately 90% of its locations are under long-
term leases with initial terms of three to ten years. Of the remaining
locations not subject to long term leases, the Company
38
<PAGE>
believes that it has retained a majority of such customers through long-
standing relationships and intends to continue to service such customers.
Approximately 42% of the Company's leases renew automatically, and the Company
has a right of first refusal on termination in approximately 40% of its
leases. The Company's automatic renewal clause typically provides that, if the
building owner fails to take any action prior to the end of the original lease
term or any renewal term, the lease will automatically renew on substantially
similar terms. As of September 26, 1997, the Company's leases have an average
remaining life to maturity of approximately 50 months (without giving effect
to automatic renewals).
Service. The Company's employees deliver, install, service and collect from
coin-operated washers and dryers in laundry facilities at its leased
locations.
The Company's fleet of 352 radio-equipped service vehicles allows the quick
dispatch of service technicians in response to both computer-generated (for
preventive maintenance) and customer-generated service calls. On a daily
basis, the Company receives and responds to approximately 2,200 service calls.
Management estimates that less than 1% of the Company's machines are out of
service on any given day. The ability to reduce machine down time, especially
during peak usage, serves to enhance revenue and improve the Company's
reputation with its customers.
In a business that emphasizes prompt and efficient service, management
believes that the Company's Integrated Computer Systems provide a significant
competitive advantage in terms of responding promptly to customer needs.
Computer-generated service calls for preventive maintenance are based on
previous service history, repeat service call analysis and monitoring of
service areas. These operations coordinate the Company's radio-equipped
service vehicles that allow the Company to address customer needs quickly and
efficiently.
Information Management. Management believes that the Company's Integrated
Computer Systems serve three major functions: (i) tracking the service cycle
of equipment; (ii) monitoring revenues and costs by location, customer and
salesperson; and (iii) providing information on competitor's lease renewal
schedules.
The Integrated Computer Systems provide speed and accuracy throughout the
entire service cycle by integrating the functions of service call entry,
dispatching service personnel, parts and equipment purchasing, installation,
distribution and collection. In addition to coordinating all aspects of the
service cycle, the Company's Integrated Computer Systems track contract
performance which indicate unreported machine failure or pilferage and provide
data to forecast future equipment failures.
Data on machine performance is used by the sales staff to forecast revenue
by location. Management is able to obtain daily, monthly, quarterly and annual
reports on location performance, coin collection, service and sales activity
by salesperson.
The Integrated Computer Systems also provide the sales staff with an
extensive database essential to the Company's marketing strategy to obtain new
business through competitive bidding or owner-operator conversion
opportunities.
Management also believes that the Integrated Computer Systems enhance the
Company's ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses into its
existing operations. It has been the experience of the Company's management
that regional or muti-regional acquisitions can be integrated within 90 to 120
days, while a local acquisition can be integrated almost immediately.
Remanufacturing. The Company's remanufacturing operations provide
approximately one-third of its annual machine installation requirements. The
Company rebuilds and reinstalls a portion of its machines at approximately
one-third the cost of acquiring new machines. Remanufactured machines are
restored to virtually new condition with the same estimated average life and
service requirements as new
39
<PAGE>
machines. Machines that can no longer be remanufactured are added to the
Company's inventory of spare parts.
The Company maintains four regional remanufacturing facilities which provide
for consistent machine quality and efficient operations and are strategically
located to service each of its operating regions.
Collection Security. Management believes that it provides the highest level
of collection security control in the laundry equipment services industry. The
Company utilizes numerous precautionary procedures with respect to cash
collection, including frequent alteration of collection patterns, extensive
monitoring of collections and other control mechanisms. The Company enforces
stringent employee standards and screening procedures with prospective
employees. Employees responsible for or who have access to the collection of
funds are tested randomly and frequently. Additionally, the Company's security
department performs trend and variance analyses of daily collections by
location. Security personnel monitor locations, conduct investigations, and
implement additional security procedures as necessary.
COMPETITION
The coin-operated laundry equipment services industry is highly competitive,
capital intensive and requires reliable, quality service. Despite the overall
fragmentation of the industry, there are currently three companies, including
the Company, with significant operations in multiple regions throughout the
United States. The other large multiple region operators are Web Service
Company, Inc. and Macke Laundry Service, L.P.
OTHER OPERATIONS
In addition to supplying outsourced coin-operated laundry equipment
services, the Company has expanded its breadth of operations to other, related
lines of business:
Individual Housing Units. Through the acquisition of Appliance Warehouse,
the Company entered the business of renting laundry equipment and other
household appliances and electronic items to individuals. With access to
approximately four million individual housing units, the Company believes its
new business line represents an opportunity for growth in a new market segment
which is complementary to its core business.
Laundromat Construction. Super Laundry, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Coinmach, is a laundromat construction and equipment distribution company.
Super Laundry's business consists of constructing complete turnkey laundromat
retail stores, retrofitting existing laundromat retail stores, distributing
exclusive lines of commercial coin and non-coin operated machines and parts,
and selling service contracts. Super Laundry's customers generally enter into
sales contracts pursuant to which Super Laundry constructs and equips a
complete laundromat operation, including location identification,
construction, plumbing, electrical wiring and all required permits.
Retail Laundromat Operations. The Company operates 151 retail laundromats
located throughout Texas, 150 of which were acquired in the Kwik Wash
Acquisition. The operation of the retail laundromats involves leasing store
locations in desired geographic areas, maintaining an appropriate mix of
washers and dryers at each store location and servicing such washers and
dryers at such locations. The Company is also responsible for maintaining the
premises at each laundromat and paying for utilities and related expenses.
FACILITIES
As of November 1, 1997, the Company leases 39 offices throughout its
operating regions serving various operational purposes, including sales and
service activities, collections and warehousing. The Company presently
maintains its headquarters in Roslyn, New York, leasing approximately 40,000
square feet pursuant to a five year lease terminating April 30, 2001. The
Company's Roslyn facility is used for general
40
<PAGE>
corporate purposes, as well as for remanufacturing and warehouse space for the
Northeast operating region. The Company has an option to purchase the Roslyn
facility, which it presently does not intend to exercise.
EMPLOYEES
As of November 1, 1997, the Company employed approximately 1,450 full-time
employees (including 334 laundromat attendants in the Company's retail
laundromats in Texas). Approximately 140 hourly workers in the Northeast
region are represented by Local 966, affiliated with the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters (the "Union"). Management believes that the Company
has maintained a good relationship with the Union employees and has never
experienced a work stoppage since its inception.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company and its predecessors have been named as defendants in a number
of legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. Although the
amount of any liability that could arise with respect to these actions can not
be accurately predicted, management believes that any such liability,
individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company.

* Percentage of shares beneficially owned does not exceed 1% of Common Stock
outstanding.
(1) Share percentage ownership is rounded to nearest tenth of 1% and reflects
the effect of dilution as a result of outstanding options to the extent
such options are, or within 60 days will become, exercisable. Shares of
Common Stock underlying any option which was exercisable on November 14,
1997 or becomes exercisable within the next 60 days ("Presently
Exercisable Options") are deemed outstanding only for purposes of
computing the share ownership and share ownership percentage of the
holder of such option. The number of shares of Common Stock deemed
outstanding prior to this Offering includes 10,004,278 shares of Common
Stock outstanding as of November 14, 1997 and such shares of Common Stock
issuable pursuant to Presently Exercisable Options held by the respective
person or group as set forth below. The number of shares of Common Stock
deemed outstanding after this Offering is comprised of the sum of: (i)
the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Offering
in an amount equal to 10,004,278 (which includes 1,250,000 shares of
Common Stock to be sold by Selling Stockholders in the Offering); (ii)
2,500,000 shares of Common Stock being offered for sale by the Company in
the Offering and (iii) 13,685 shares of Common Stock to be issued to
certain Selling Stockholders upon the exercise of options in connection
with the Offering. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with
the rules of the Commission that deem shares to be beneficially owned by
any person who has or shares voting or investment power with respect to
such shares. Presently Exercisable Options are deemed to be outstanding
and to be beneficially owned by the person or group holding such options
for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person or
group, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing
the percentage ownership of any other person or group.
(2) Does not include 562,500 shares of Common Stock to be sold in the
Offering by Selling Stockholders and Additional Selling Stockholders if
the Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full.
(3) Represents additional shares, in an aggregate amount of 562,500, to be
offered in the Offering assuming the Underwriters' over-allotment option
is exercised in full. If the Underwriters' over-allotment option is
exercised in full, GTCR, MCS, Mr. Blatt and Mr. Doyle will beneficially
own 23.8%, 3.5%, 2.8% and less than 1% of the shares of Common Stock
outstanding, respectively.
(4) Such shares are held by GTCR, of which GTCR IV, L.P. ("GTCR IV"), is the
general partner. Mr. Rauner and Mr. Donnini are principals of Golder,
Thoma, Cressey, Rauner, Inc., the general partner of GTCR IV. Mr. Rauner

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following statements are brief summaries of certain provisions relating
to Coinmach Laundry's capital stock and are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the provisions of Coinmach Laundry's Third Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Second Amended and Restated By-Laws, each of
which have been filed with the Commission.
Coinmach Laundry's authorized capital stock consists of 15,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, 1,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per
share ("Non-Voting Common Stock") and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par
value $.01 per share ("Preferred Stock"). As of October 13, 1997, there were
10,004,278 shares of Common Stock, 480,648 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock
and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding. Upon consummation of the
Offering, there will be 12,998,611 shares of Common Stock and Non-Voting
Common Stock outstanding.
DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share in the election
of directors and on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and
do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of a majority of the shares of
Common Stock voting for the election of directors therefore can elect all of
the directors of the Company.
Shares of Common Stock are not redeemable, and holders thereof have no
preemptive or conversion rights nor do holders have any subscription rights to
purchase any securities of the Company. There are no redemption or sinking
fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock are
fully paid and non-assessable and all shares of Common Stock to be offered by
the Company hereby, when issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable.
In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Coinmach Laundry,
the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive, after payment of Coinmach
Laundry's debts and liabilities, the remaining assets of Coinmach Laundry on a
ratable basis. This right, however, is subject to: (i) any prior liquidation
rights of Preferred Stock then outstanding (to the extent such rights are
designated by the Board) and (ii) any rights of holders of Preferred Stock to
share ratably with holders of Common Stock in all assets remaining after
payment of liabilities and liquidation preferences (to the extent such rights
are designated by the Board).
The Common Stock is listed for quotation on The Nasdaq National Market under
the trading symbol "WDRY." The transfer agent and registrar for the Common
Stock is The Bank of New York.
DESCRIPTION OF NON-VOTING COMMON STOCK
Except as required by applicable law, the holders of Non-Voting Common Stock
are not entitled to vote in the election of directors or on any other matters
submitted to a vote of stockholders. Except for (i) restrictions on voting,
(ii) the manner in which dividends are paid, and (iii) the ability to convert
Non-Voting Common Stock into Common Stock, the Non-Voting Common Stock is
identical to the Common Stock.
PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK AND NON-VOTING COMMON STOCK
Subject to the prior rights of the holders of any Preferred Stock, the
holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock are
entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available therefor at such
times and in such amounts as the Board may from time to time determine.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK
In accordance with the provisions of the Company's Third Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board may, without further action
by Coinmach Laundry's stockholders, from time to
47
<PAGE>
time, direct the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series
and may, at the time of issuance, determine the rights, preferences and
limitations of each series. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of
outstanding shares of preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds
available for the payment of dividends on shares of Common Stock and Non-
Voting Common Stock. Holders of shares of Preferred Stock may be entitled to
receive a preference payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or
winding-up of Coinmach Laundry before any distribution is made to the holders
of shares of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock. Under certain
circumstances, the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock may render more
difficult or tend to discourage or delay a merger, tender offer or proxy
contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of Coinmach
Laundry's securities or the removal of incumbent management. The Board,
without stockholder approval, may issue shares of Preferred Stock with voting
and/or conversion rights which could adversely affect the holders of Common
Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock.
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION AND SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS
The Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Second
Amended and Restated Bylaws contain provisions that could discourage a change
in control of Coinmach Laundry. These provisions are intended to enhance the
likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Board and in
the policies formulated by the Board and to discourage certain types of
transactions which may involve an actual or threatened change of control of
the Company. The provisions are designed to reduce the vulnerability of the
Company to an unsolicited takeover proposal that does not contemplate the
acquisition of all its outstanding shares or an unsolicited proposal for the
restructuring or sale of all or part of the Company.
The Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that
the Board be divided into three classes, with each class serving for three
years, and one class being elected each year. A majority of the remaining
directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or the sole remaining
director, will be empowered to fill any vacancy on the Board which arises
during the term of a director. The provision for a classified Board may be
amended, altered or repealed only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of
at least 80% of the outstanding shares of the voting stock of Coinmach
Laundry. The classification of the Board may discourage a third party from
making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to gain control of the Company
and may have the effect of maintaining the incumbency of the Board. Since the
Board has the power to retain and discharge officers of Coinmach Laundry,
these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders
or another party to effect a change in management.
The Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires that
any action required or permitted to be taken by Coinmach Laundry's
stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of
stockholders and may not be effected in lieu thereof by written consent unless
a majority of the Board approves the use of such written consent with respect
to the taking of such action. This provision makes it difficult for
stockholders to initiate or effect an action by written consent, and thereby
effect an action opposed by the Board. Additionally, the Third Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires that special meetings of the
stockholders of Coinmach Laundry be called by the Chairman of the Board, the
president or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by the affirmative
vote of at least two members of the Board then in office.
The Second Amended and Restated Bylaws provides that stockholders seeking to
bring business before or to nominate directors at any annual meeting of
stockholders must provide timely notice thereof in writing. To be timely, a
stockholder's notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the
principal executive offices of the Company not less than 60 days nor more than
90 days prior to such meeting or, if less than 70 days' notice was given for
the meeting, within 10 days following the date on which such notice was given.
The Second Amended and Restated Bylaws also specifies certain
48
<PAGE>
requirements for a stockholder's notice to be in proper written form. These
provisions restrict the ability of stockholders to bring matters before the
stockholders or to make nominations for directors at meetings of stockholders.
The Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation further provides
that the Board, by a majority vote, may adopt, alter, amend or repeal
provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws. However, stockholders
may only adopt, alter, amend or repeal provisions of the Second Amended and
Restated Bylaws by a vote of 66 2/3% or more of the outstanding Common Stock,
except for certain provisions which shall require a vote of 75% or more of the
outstanding Common Stock.
CERTAIN STATUTORY PROVISIONS
Coinmach Laundry is subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, which prohibits certain transactions between a Delaware
corporation and an "interested stockholder," which is defined as a person who,
together with any affiliates and/or associates of such person, beneficially
owns, directly or indirectly, 15 percent or more of the outstanding voting
shares of a Delaware corporation. This provisions prohibits certain business
combinations (defined broadly to include mergers, consolidations, sales or
other dispositions of assets having an aggregate value in excess of 10 percent
of the consolidated assets of the corporation, and certain transactions that
would increase the interested stockholder's proportionate share ownership in
the corporation) between an interested stockholder and a corporation for a
period of three years after the date the interested stockholder acquired its
stock, unless: (i) the business combination or the transaction resulting in
the person becoming an interested stockholder is approved by the corporation's
board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder acquired
shares; (ii) the interested stockholder acquired at least 85 percent of the
voting stock of the corporation in the transaction in which it became an
interested stockholder; or (iii) the business combination is approved by a
majority of the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of two-thirds
of the votes entitled to be cast by disinterested stockholders at an annual or
special meeting. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover
or change in control attempts with respect to the Company and, accordingly,
may discourage attempts to acquire the Company. See "Risk Factors--Anti-
Takeover Considerations."

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Upon the closing of the Offering, there will be 12,517,963 shares of Common
Stock and 480,648 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock outstanding prior to
giving effect to the exercise of the options granted by the Company and not
exercised in connection with the Offering. The 3,750,000 shares of Common
Stock sold in the Offering will be freely tradeable without restriction or
further registration under the Securities Act, unless held by an "affiliate"
of the Company as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
which shares will be subject to the resale limitations of Rule 144. Of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock, 6,301,284 will
not have been registered under the Securities Act and may not be sold unless
they are registered or unless an exemption from registration is available such
as the exemption provided by Rule 144 or, to the extent applicable, Rule 701.
All of such unregistered shares would be eligible for sale on expiration of a
90 day lock-up period (the "Lock-up Period"), subject to certain volume and
other resale limitations under Rule 144.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a stockholder (or
stockholders whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned shares
constituting "restricted securities" (generally defined as securities acquired
from the Company or an affiliate of the Company in a non-public transaction)
for at least one year is entitled to sell within any three-month period a
number of shares that does not exceed the greater of (i) one percent of then
outstanding Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock (129,986 shares of Common
Stock immediately after the Offering without giving effect to additional
shares issued pursuant to the Underwriters' over-allotment option) or (ii) the
average weekly reported trading volume in the Common Stock during the four
calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of such sale is filed
pursuant to Rule 144. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain
provisions regarding the manner of sale, notice requirements and the
availability of current public information about the Company. A stockholder
(or stockholders whose shares are aggregated) who is not an affiliate of the
Company for at least 90 days prior to a sale and who has beneficially owned
"restricted securities" for at least two years is entitled to sell such shares
under Rule 144 without regard to the limitations described above.
In general, under Rule 701 under the Securities Act, as currently in effect,
any employee, officer, or director of or consultant to the Company who
purchased his or her shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or
contract is entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701. Such
provisions permit nonaffiliates to sell their Rule 701 shares without having
to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation, or
notice provisions of Rules 144 and permit affiliates to sell their Rule 701
shares without having to comply with the Rule 144 holding period restrictions.
Coinmach Laundry its executive officers and directors, and GTCR have agreed
not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of
Common Stock or rights to acquire such shares or securities convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Stock other than sales contemplated hereby or
issued or to be issued pursuant to employee stock option plans or in
connection with other employee incentive compensation arrangements or
agreements, in each case in effect on the date of this Prospectus, for a
period of 90 days after the date of this Prospectus, without the prior written
consent of BT Alex. Brown, as representative of the Underwriters.
Pursuant to the Company Registration Agreement, the pre-initial public
offering stockholders of Coinmach Laundry, who will hold in the aggregate
6,301,284 shares of Common Stock following the Offering, are entitled to
certain registration rights (such shares of Common Stock are hereinafter
referred to as the "Registrable Securities"). At any time following the
Offering, GTCR may request registration of all or a portion of the Registrable
Securities it holds on Form S-1 (a "Long-Form Registration") and may request
registration on Form S-2 or S-3 ("Short-Form Registration"), if available.
GTCR is entitled to request up to four Long-Form Registrations and an
unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations. Coinmach Laundry is responsible
for all registration expenses in connection with all such registrations.
Additionally, if Coinmach Laundry proposes to register any of its Common Stock
under the Securities Act, whether for
50
<PAGE>
its own account or otherwise, all holders of Registrable Securities are
entitled to notice of such registration and, subject to certain priority
provisions, are entitled to include their Registrable Securities in such
registration. The registration expenses of the holders of Registrable
Securities would be paid by Coinmach Laundry in all such registrations. Each
holder of Registrable Securities has agreed not to effect any public sale or
distribution of such securities during the Lock-up Period.
No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of
shares of Common Stock, or the availability of shares for future sale, to the
public will have on the market price of the Common Stock prevailing from time
to time. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market,
whether such shares are presently outstanding or subsequently issued, or the
perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing
market prices for the Common Stock and could impair the Company's ability to
raise capital in the future through an offering of equity securities. Coinmach
Laundry cannot predict when or how many of such additional shares of Common
Stock may be offered for sale or sold to the public in the future. See "Risk
Factors--Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

Brothers"), Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Wheat First Butcher Singer and
Jefferies & Company, Inc. ("Jefferies"), have severally agreed to purchase
from Coinmach Laundry and the Selling Stockholders the following respective
numbers of shares of Common Stock at the public offering price less the

Prospectus:

</TABLE>
The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters
are subject to certain conditions precedent and that the Underwriters will
purchase all shares of the Common Stock offered hereby (other than those
subject to the over-allotment option described below) if any of such shares
are purchased.
Coinmach Laundry has been advised by the Representatives that the
Underwriters propose to offer the shares of Common Stock to the public at the
public offering price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and to
certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of $ per
share. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession
not in excess of $ per share to certain other dealers. After the public
offering, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the
Representatives.
Certain of the Selling Stockholders and the Additional Selling Stockholders
have granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable by the Representatives
not later than 30 days after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to
562,500 additional shares of Common Stock at the public offering price less
the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus. To the extent that the Underwriters exercise such option, each of
the Underwriters will have a firm commitment to purchase approximately the
same percentage thereof that the number of shares of Common Stock to be
purchased by it shown in the above table bears to 3,750,000 and such Selling
Stockholders and Additional Selling Stockholders will be obligated, pursuant
to the option, to sell such shares to the Underwriters. The Underwriters may
exercise such option only to cover over-allotments made in connection with the
sale of Common Stock offered hereby. If purchased, the Underwriters will offer
such additional shares on the same terms as those on which the 3,750,000
shares are being offered.
Coinmach Laundry and the Selling Stockholders have agreed to indemnify the
Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
Coinmach Laundry's directors and executive officers, and GTCR have agreed
not to offer, sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock held by
them immediately prior to completion of this
52
<PAGE>
Offering for a period of 90 days after the commencement of this Offering
without the prior written consent of BT Alex. Brown except to the extent being
sold in this Offering. Coinmach Laundry has entered into a similar agreement,
except that it may issue, and grant options to purchase, shares of Common
Stock under its current stock option and purchase plans and pursuant to other
currently outstanding options. BT Alex. Brown, at any time and without notice,
may release all or any part of the shares from these restrictions.
The Representatives have advised Coinmach Laundry that the Underwriters do
not intend to confirm sales to any account over which they exercise
discretionary authority.
The Underwriters have advised Coinmach Laundry that, pursuant to Regulation
M under the Securities Act, certain persons participating in this Offering may
engage in transactions, including stabilizing bids, syndicate covering
transactions or the imposition of penalty bids, which may have the effect of
stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the Common Stock at a level
above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. A "stabilizing
bid" is a bid for or the purchase of the Common Stock on behalf of the
Underwriters for the purpose of fixing or maintaining the price of the Common
Stock. A "syndicate covering transaction" is the bid for or the purchase of
the Common Stock on behalf of the Underwriters to reduce a short position
incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this offering. A "penalty bid"
is an arrangement permitting the Underwriters to reclaim the selling
concession otherwise accruing to an Underwriter or dealer in connection with
this offering if the Common Stock originally sold by such Underwriter or
dealer is purchased by the Underwriters in a syndicate covering transaction
and has therefore not been effectively placed by such Underwriter or dealer.
The Underwriters have advised Coinmach Laundry that such transactions may be
effected on the Nasdaq National Market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be
discontinued at any time.
As permitted by Rule 103 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), Underwriters or prospective Underwriters that
are market markers ("passive market makers") in the Common Stock may make bids
for or purchases of Common Stock on the Nasdaq National Market until such
time, if any, when a stabilizing bid for such securities has been made. Rule
103 generally provides that: (i) a passive market maker's net daily purchases
of the Common Stock may not exceed 30% of its average daily trading volume in
such securities for the two full consecutive calendar months (or any 60
consecutive days ending within the 10 days) immediately preceding the filing
date of the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part; (ii)
a passive market maker may not effect transactions or display bids for the
Common Stock at a price that exceeds the highest independent bid for the
Common Stock by persons who are not passive market makers; and (iii) bids made
by passive market makers must be identified as such.
No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction by the Selling
Stockholders, the Company, or the Representatives that would permit an
offering to the general public of the shares of Common Stock offered by this
Prospectus in any jurisdiction other than the United States.
From time to time, certain of the Representatives have provided investment
banking services to the Company, for which they have received customary
underwriting fees. Lehman Brothers acted as a Representative in the Company's
Initial Public Offering in July 1996. An affiliate of BT Alex. Brown acts as
administrative agent and an affiliate of Lehman Brothers acts as documentation
agent, in each case for the Credit Facility. Jefferies and BT Alex. Brown
acted as Initial Purchasers in the Company's recent Bond Offering, and
Jefferies has provided and expects to continue to provide certain general
financial advisory services to the Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors of Coinmach Laundry Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Coinmach
Laundry Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 28, 1997 and
March 29, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended March 28,
1997, the six-month transition period ended March 29, 1996 and the period from
April 5, 1995 to September 29, 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Coinmach
Laundry Corporation and Subsidiaries at March 28, 1997 and March 29, 1996, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year
ended March 28, 1997, the six-month transition period ended March 29, 1996,
and for the period from April 5, 1995 to September 29, 1995, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

COINMACH LAUNDRY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 28, 1997
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Coinmach Laundry
Corporation ("Coinmach Laundry") and Subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company") include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coinmach
Corporation ("Coinmach") (formerly Solon Automated Services, Inc. ("Solon")
and the consolidated accounts of The Coinmach Corporation ("TCC")). The
Company was formed on April 5, 1995, at which time it acquired Solon (the
"Solon Acquisition"), and is controlled by Golder Thoma Cressey Rauner, Inc.
("GTCR"). TCC was formed in January 1995 by an investor group, comprised
principally of the same investors who formed the Company, and acquired
Coinmach Industries Co. ("Industries") and Super Laundry Equipment Co. L.P.
("Super Laundry LP") on January 31, 1995 (the "TCC Acquisition"). Both the
Solon Acquisition and the TCC Acquisition were accounted for as purchases and,
accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their
estimated fair values at the respective acquisition dates.
As described in Note 2, Solon completed a merger with TCC on November 30,
1995. This transaction was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of
interests. As a result of the common investor group's control over both Solon
and TCC, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
to reflect the accounts of the Company, Solon and TCC and their wholly-owned
subsidiaries on a consolidated basis since the date of common control, April
5, 1995.
The Company is primarily engaged in providing coin-operated laundry
equipment services to multi-family housing properties throughout much of the
United States. The Company owns and operates approximately 337,000 coin-
operated washers and dryers in over 30,000 multi-family housing units on
routes located in 30 states and the District of Columbia and in 150 retail
laundromats located throughout Texas. The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Super Laundry Equipment Corp. ("Super Laundry"), also is a construction and
laundromat equipment distribution company.
All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Fiscal Year
Prior to the merger of Solon and TCC, the Company's fiscal year was the
fifty-two or fifty-three week period which ended on the Friday nearest
September 30th. Effective with the merger of Solon and TCC, the Company
changed its fiscal year end to the last Friday in March. The period from April
5, 1995 to September 29, 1995 is referred to as "1995", the period from
September 30, 1995 to March 29, 1996 is referred to as "1996T" and the year
ended March 28, 1997 is referred to as "1997".
Recognition of Laundry Revenues
The Company has agreements with various property owners which provide for
the Company's installation and operation of laundry machines at various
locations in return for a commission. These agreements provide for both
contingent (percentage of revenues) and fixed commission payments. The Company
reports revenues from laundry machines on the accrual basis and has accrued
the cash computed to be in the machines at the end of the fiscal period.
Super Laundry's customers generally sign sales contracts pursuant to which
Super Laundry constructs and equips complete laundromat operations, including
location identification, construction, plumbing,
F-9

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
electrical wiring and all required permits. Revenue is recognized on the
completed contract method. A contract is considered complete when all costs
have been incurred and either the installation is operating according to
specifications or has been accepted by the customer. The duration of such
contracts is normally less than six months. Sales of laundromats amounted to
approximately $18.8 million, $7.8 million and $7.9 million in 1997, 1996T, and
1995, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
and consist of the following (in thousands):
<TABLE>

Property and Equipment
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost and are
depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the
estimated useful lives or lease life:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Laundry equipment, installation costs and fixtures............. 3 to 10 years
Leasehold improvements and decorating costs.................... 4 to 10 years
Trucks and other vehicles...................................... 3 to 4 years
</TABLE>
Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts, and the
resulting gain or loss is included in income. Maintenance and repairs are
charged to operations currently, and replacements of laundry machines and
significant improvements are capitalized.
Depreciation expense was $22.6 million, $9.4 million and $9.5 million for
1997, 1996T and 1995, respectively.
Goodwill and Contract Rights
Goodwill, under purchase accounting, represents the excess of cost over fair
value of net assets acquired. Goodwill recorded as a result of the Solon
Acquisition on April 5, 1995 (see Note 2) is being amortized on a straight-
line basis over 20 years. Goodwill recorded on acquisitions subsequent thereto
is being amortized over 15 years on a straight-line basis.
F-10
<PAGE>
COINMACH LAUNDRY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
Contract rights represent amounts expended for location contracts arising
from the acquisition of laundry machines on location. These amounts, which
arose solely from purchase price allocations, are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the period of expected benefit ranging from 3 to 15 years based on
independent appraisals or present valued future cash flows at prevailing
discount rates.
Management periodically evaluates the realizability of the goodwill and
contract rights balances based upon the Company's expectations of undiscounted
cash flows and operating income. Based upon present operations and strategic
plans, management believes that no impairment of goodwill or contract rights
has occurred.
Advance Rental Payments
Advance rental payments to location owners are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the contract term, which generally ranges from 5 to 10 years.
Interest Expense
Interest expense is reported net of interest income of approximately
$966,000, $277,000 and $148,000 for 1997 and 1996T and 1995, respectively.
Reclassification
Certain 1996T balances have been reclassified to conform with the 1997
presentation.
Loss per Share
Loss per share for 1997 was calculated based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding of 9,232,530. Pro forma loss per share for
1996T and 1995 was calculated based upon the weighted average number of common
shares of 7,774,017, which amount gives effect to the transactions discussed
below.
The Company's historical capitalization differs significantly from its
capitalization effective with its July 23, 1996 initial public offering of
stock (see Note 8a). Accordingly, historical net loss per common share for the
six month transition period ended March 29, 1996 and the period from April 5,
1995 to September 29, 1995 is not considered meaningful and has not been
presented herein; rather, a pro forma net loss per share is presented for
these periods in the accompanying statement of operations. The calculation of
the shares used in computing pro forma net loss per share includes the effect
of the stock issued and options granted discussed further in Note 8a, as well
as the redemption of preferred stock, as more fully described in Note 8c.
Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
83, common stock sold or issued at prices below the initial public offering
price per share in the twelve months preceding the initial public offering
have been included in the calculation as if outstanding for 1996T and 1995.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share." This standard changes the method of calculating earnings per share and
will be effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Earlier
application is not permitted; however, when adopted, all prior period earnings
per share data presented will be required to be restated to conform with the
new standard. The Company has determined that the impact of SFAS No. 128 will
not have a material effect on the calculations of earnings per share.
Employee Stock Options
The Company has a stock option program which is more fully described in Note
8d. The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees." Under the Company's stock option program, options are
F-11
<PAGE>
COINMACH LAUNDRY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
granted with an exercise price not less than the market price of the
underlying common stock of the Company on the date of grant.
Accordingly, no compensation expense is recognized in connection with the
grant of these stock options.
In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". SFAS 123 defines a fair value method of accounting for the
issuance of stock options and other equity instruments. Under the fair value
method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair
value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually
the vesting period. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, companies are encouraged, but
are not required, to adopt the fair value method of accounting for employee
stock-based transactions. Companies are also permitted to continue to account
for such transactions under APB No. 25, but are required to disclose in the
financial statement footnotes, pro forma net (loss) income and per share
amounts as if the Company had applied the new method of accounting for all
grants made during 1997 and 1996. SFAS No. 123 also requires increased
disclosures for stock-based compensation arrangements. Effective March 30,
1996, the Company adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires the asset and liability method of
accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No.
109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. SFAS No. 109 requires that any tax benefits recognized for net
operating loss carryforwards and other items be reduced by a valuation
allowance where it is more likely than not that the benefits may not be
realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No.
109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Effective March 30, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of." SFAS No. 121 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived
assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less
than the assets' carrying amount. SFAS No. 121 also addresses the accounting
for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The adoption of
SFAS No. 121 did not have an effect on the results of operations or financial
condition of the Company.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
a. The Kwik Wash Acquisition
On January 8, 1997, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Stock Purchase
Agreement dated as of November 25, 1996, Coinmach completed the acquisition of
100% of the outstanding voting securities of each of KWL, Inc. ("KWL"), a
Nevada corporation, and Kwik-Wash Laundries, Inc. ("Kwik Wash"), a Nevada
corporation, for approximately $125 million in cash (excluding transaction
expenses) and a $15 million promissory note issued by Coinmach Laundry (the
"Kwik Wash Acquisition"). KWL and Kwik Wash are the sole partners of Kwik Wash
Laundries, L.P. (the "Kwik Wash Partnership"), a Texas limited
F-12
<PAGE>
COINMACH LAUNDRY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS--(CONTINUED)
partnership. The Kwik Wash Partnership, based in Dallas, Texas, provides coin-
operated laundry equipment services to multi-family dwellings in Texas,
Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma and operates approximately 150 retail
laundromats located throughout Texas. Simultaneously with the acquisition,
KWL, Kwik Wash and the Kwik Wash Partnership merged with and into Coinmach.
Concurrently with the Kwik Wash Acquisition, Coinmach entered into a new
senior financing arrangement providing up to $200 million (the "New Credit
Facility") (see Note 5). The New Credit Facility, proceeds of which were used
in part to fund the Kwik Wash Acquisition, replaced the Company's then
existing credit facility and will provide financing to support the Company's
acquisition strategy.
The Kwik Wash Acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value at the date of
acquisition and the results of operations are included subsequent to that
date. The excess of cost over the net tangible assets acquired was allocated
to contract rights of approximately $123.3 million, goodwill of $49.4 million
and deferred taxes payable of approximately $49.4 million.
The following table reflects unaudited pro forma combined results of
operations of the Company and Kwik Wash as if such acquisition had taken place
at the beginning of each of the periods presented (in thousands except per
share data):

These unaudited pro forma results have been presented for comparative
purposes only and include certain adjustments, such as increased interest
expense on the related acquisition debt and additional amortization expense of
intangible assets, offset by the capitalization of installation and decorating
costs to conform to the accounting policy of the Company.
In management's opinion, the unaudited pro forma combined results of
operations are not indicative of the actual results that would have occurred
had the Kwik Wash Acquisition been consummated at the beginning of each period
or the results of future operations of the combined companies under the
ownership and management of the Company.
b. Other Acquisitions
During the 1997 fiscal year, the Company made acquisitions of several small
route businesses or assets of businesses with purchase prices aggregating
approximately $26.3 million, of which the Company paid approximately $25.2
million in cash and $1.2 million in promissory notes issued by the Company,
which are included in other long-term debt. Such promissory notes have a
conversion option which allows the holder of the option to convert these
promissory notes, after the one-year anniversary of the issue date, into
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at the principal amount then
outstanding at a conversion price equal to 115% of the average daily closing
price per share of Common Stock over the twenty business day period
immediately preceding the issue date.

c. The Solon Acquisition
Solon entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 7, 1995,
with Ford Coin Laundries, Inc. ("Ford"), and certain other parties named
therein, whereby Ford purchased all of Solon's outstanding Common Stock (the
"Common Stock") and substantially all of Solon's Class A Common Stock (the
"Class A Common Stock") (collectively, the "Shares"). The purchase price for
the Shares was $11.5 million. The foregoing transaction closed on April 5,
1995. The source of funds used by Ford for the Shares was the cash proceeds
from the sales by Ford to the Company of (i) Ford's non-voting Class A Common
Stock (the "Ford Non-Voting Common Stock") pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement, dated April 4, 1995, and (ii) an option to purchase Ford's voting
common stock (the "Ford Voting Common Stock") pursuant to a Letter Agreement
dated April 4, 1995. As of April 5, 1995, Ford beneficially owned, and had the
sole power to dispose of, the Shares. The Shares beneficially owned by Ford
represented 100% of the outstanding Common Stock and approximately 97% of the
outstanding Class A Common Stock.
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement with Ford, the Company purchased
from Ford all of the outstanding shares of Ford Non-Voting Common Stock. The
purchase price for the Ford Non-Voting Common Stock was of $11.4 million. The
sources of the funds used by the Company for the Ford Non-Voting Common Stock
were certain shareholders of TCC, including GTCR. As of April 5, 1995, the
Company beneficially owned, and had the sole power to dispose of, 1,000 shares
of Ford Non-Voting Common Stock.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement dated April 4, 1995, Ford granted to the
Company, among other things, an option (the "Option") to purchase, subject to
the terms and conditions contained therein, all of the Ford Voting Common
Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000. On April 28, 1995, the
Company exercised the Option. The sources of funds used by the Company to
exercise the Option were substantially the same sources used to purchase Ford
Non-Voting Common Stock. As of April 28, 1995, the Company beneficially owned,
and had the sole power to vote and dispose of, ten shares of Ford Voting
Common Stock.
d. The TCC Acquisition
TCC was incorporated in January 1995 and was capitalized primarily through
an equity investment by an investor group led by the majority shareholder,
GTCR, and senior management and bank financing.
TCC was a holding company which was formed to acquire partnership interests
in Industries and Super Laundry LP. On January 31, 1995, TCC acquired its
partnership interests in Industries and Super Laundry from CIC I Acquisition
Corp. ("CIC I"). The transaction resulted in TCC owning 100% interests in both
Industries and Super Laundry LP. The aggregate purchase price for these
interests was $8.57 million, paid in cash. The acquisition was accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. The fair value of assets acquired
(based on an independent appraisal for certain assets) less liabilities
assumed exceeded the purchase price by approximately $7.7 million. The excess
was allocated against property, equipment and intangible assets ratably based
on their respective fair values.
e. The Merger With TCC
On November 30, 1995, Solon completed a merger ("Merger") with TCC through
an exchange of stock. Shares of common stock of the Company were issued in
exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of TCC.
The Company then contributed its stock of TCC to Solon. Solon became the
surviving corporation after the merger, whereupon it changed its name to
Coinmach

period from September 30, 1995 to November 29, 1995, to conform its accounting
policy for the capitalization of machine installation costs to that of Solon.
Intercompany transactions between the two companies for the period presented
were not material.
3. RECEIVABLES
Receivables consist of the following (in thousands):

</TABLE>
Notes receivable, which arise from the sale of laundromats, bear interest at
a weighted average rate of approximately 10% per annum and mature through
1998. The notes are collateralized by the underlying laundry equipment. The
Company periodically sells notes receivable arising from the sale of
laundromats to third party finance companies. Included in other receivables
are finance reserves, which arise when the Company sells notes and a portion
of the proceeds are retained by the finance company. As the notes are
collected, the finance companies remit a portion of the collections to the
Company. Many of the notes receivable are sold with recourse to the Company
(see Note 9). Control of the notes sold with recourse is surrendered by the
Company on the date of transfer. The Company generally sells its receivables
with recourse at cost, recognizing no gain or loss.
4. RESTRUCTURING COSTS
Restructuring charges for 1995 consist of costs aggregating approximately
$2.2 million, which includes approximately $1.3 million of severance payments
for 55 of Solon's management, administrative and regional personnel,
approximately $300,000 of costs to relocate Solon's financial and
administrative functions to Roslyn, New York, approximately $100,000 of costs
to integrate certain financial and

RESTRUCTURING COSTS--(CONTINUED)
operating systems, and approximately $500,000 of costs related to the
consolidation of certain of Solon's regional offices. Of the total
restructuring costs of $2.2 million, approximately $300,000 was paid during
the period ended September 29, 1995, approximately $1.3 million was paid
during the six months ended March 29, 1996, and the remaining portion of
approximately $600,000 was paid during the fiscal year ending March 28, 1997.
The 55 employee terminations include 5 management employees, 17 corporate
staff financial and administrative employees and 33 regional laundry
operational employees. Notifications to employees were made on various dates
through September 1995.

a. Senior Notes
On November 30, 1995, Coinmach completed an exchange offer with
substantially all the holders of certain 12 3/4% Senior Notes due 2001 (the
"Senior Notes") and certain 13 3/4% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2002
(the "Subordinated Debentures"). Through December 14, 1995, Coinmach issued a
total of $196.7 million of 11 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Notes") which
enabled it to complete this exchange offer, consummate the merger with TCC,
retire its remaining debt, and provide additional working capital. Coinmach
incurred costs of approximately $4.0 million, net of income taxes, related to
a 5.5% premium paid to retire its Senior Notes and Subordinated Debentures,
wrote-off the unamortized balance of the related original issue discount and
deferred finance costs of approximately $1.3 million and $1.8 million, net of
income taxes, respectively, and also incurred costs related to the retirement
of a revolving credit facility of TCC of approximately $1.8 million, net of
income taxes. The aggregate of the foregoing items totaling $8.9 million, net
of income taxes, is shown as an extraordinary item in 1996T.
Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15.
The Notes are redeemable at the option of Coinmach at any time after November
15, 2000 at a price equal to 105 7/8% declining to par if redeemed after
November 15, 2002. The Notes contain certain financial covenants and were
exchanged for identical registered notes in a registered exchange offer in
April 1996. Additionally, the Notes restrict the payment of certain dividends,
distributions or other payments from Coinmach to Coinmach Laundry.
In February 1997, Coinmach redeemed all of its outstanding Senior Notes at a
redemption price of 106.375% of the principal amount thereof, together with
accrued interest from January 15, 1997 to February 18, 1997, in an aggregate
amount of approximately $5.4 million. As part of the premium paid to redeem
the Senior Notes, together with the write-off of all unamortized financing
costs associated with the Senior Notes, Coinmach recognized an extraordinary
charge of $502,000 (net of a tax benefit of $206,000).

b. Credit Facility
On November 30, 1995, Coinmach entered into a revolving credit facility
("Credit Facility"), which provided up to a maximum of $35 million and which
replaced certain credit facilities of both Solon and TCC. Availability under
the Credit Facility was limited by an amount equal to one semi-annual interest
payment on the Notes. Interest on the borrowings was payable monthly at a rate
per annum no greater than the sum of LIBOR plus 2.50%. The Company was
obligated to pay an unused line fee in an amount equal to 0.5% of the unused
availability payable monthly in arrears. Borrowings under the Credit Facility
were secured by real and personal property of the Company and also required
the Company, among other things, to maintain certain financial ratios and
restrict additional investments and indebtedness.
On January 8, 1997, the Company entered into a senior financing arrangement
under the New Credit Facility with Bankers Trust Company, First Union National
Bank of North Carolina, Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. and certain other
lending institutions named therein (collectively, the "Banks"), replacing the
Company's then existing credit facility. The New Credit Facility, as amended
effective June 2, 1997 and prior to any principal installments made, consists
of a $70 million revolving credit facility and a $190 million term loan
facility, which is comprised of a Tranche A term loan in the amount of $30
million and a Tranche B term loan in the amount of $160 million. The Tranche B
term loan was increased by $60 million effective June 2, 1997. The New Credit
Facility also provides for up to $10 million of letter of credit financing and
short term borrowings under a swing line facility of up to $5 million.
Interest on the Company's borrowings under the New Credit Facility is
payable quarterly in arrears with respect to Base Rate Loans and the last day
of each applicable interest period with respect to Eurodollar Loans and at a
rate per annum no greater than the sum of the Applicable Base Rate Margin plus
the Base Rate or the sum of the Applicable Eurodollar Margin plus the
Eurodollar Rate (in each case, as defined in the New Credit Facility).
Indebtedness under the New Credit Facility is secured by all of the
Company's real and personal property. The Company has guaranteed the
indebtedness under the New Credit Facility and pledged to Bankers Trust
Company, as Collateral Agent, its interests in all of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of Coinmach. In addition to certain terms
and provisions, events of default, as defined, and customary restrictive
covenants and agreements, the New Credit Facility contains certain covenants
including, but not limited to, a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum
consolidated interest coverage ratio, and limitations on indebtedness, capital
expenditures, advances, investments and loans, mergers and acquisitions,
dividends, stock issuances and transactions with affiliates.
Debt outstanding under the New Credit Facility as of March 28, 1997,
consisted of the following (in thousands):
<TABLE>

6. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLANS
Coinmach maintains several defined contribution plans (including the
Coinmach Plan, Solon Plan and Kwik Wash Plan collectively, the "Plans")
meeting the guidelines of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All of
the Plans require employees to meet certain age, employment status and minimum
entry requirements as allowed by law.
Contributions to the Plans for 1997, 1996T and 1995 amounted to
approximately $140,000, $43,000 and $43,000, respectively.
The Company does not provide any other post-retirement benefits.
7. INCOME TAXES
The components of the Company's net deferred tax liabilities were as follows
(in thousands):

------- -------

Net deferred tax liabilities............................. $65,650 $18,924
======= =======
</TABLE>
Deferred taxes arise primarily from timing differences resulting from using
accelerated depreciation for tax purposes and straight-line depreciation for
financial reporting purposes, and contract rights acquired which are not
deductible for tax purposes.
As of April 5, 1995, the deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance
relating to Solon were netted and reduced to $2.6 million to reflect the net
operating loss available pursuant to limitations imposed under provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code regarding changes in ownership. In addition, as of
April 5, 1995, TCC had recorded a deferred tax asset of $460,000 with a
valuation allowance of the same amount. The deferred tax assets recorded
subsequently do not reflect a valuation allowance because the loss can be
utilized against the deferred tax liabilities in the carryforward period. The
net operating loss carryforwards, which expire between fiscal years 2001
through 2008, consist of approximately $7 million (after the limitation)
relating to Solon and approximately $16.3 million relating to the Company.

8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
a. Initial Public Offering
On July 23, 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering (the
"Offering") of 4,120,000 shares of its Common Stock at an initial public
offering price of $14.00 per share. The Company's Registration Statement for
4,000,000 shares of Common Stock was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 13, 1996 and subsequently declared effective on July 17,
1996. On July 18, 1996, the Company filed an additional registration statement
on Form S-1 with respect to the registration of an additional 120,000 shares
of Common Stock, which registration statement was effective upon filing.
In connection with the Offering, the underwriters were granted a 30-day
option to purchase up to an aggregate of 618,000 additional shares of Common
Stock to cover over-allotments (the "Over-Allotment Option"), which Over-
Allotment Option was exercised on August 16, 1996 with respect to the purchase
of an additional 63,642 shares of Common Stock.
Proceeds from the Offering were approximately $54.5 million (after giving
effect to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option), after underwriting
discounts and commissions and before expenses. After giving effect to the
redemption of the Preferred Stock (as described below), proceeds from the
Offering were approximately $35.3 million, before expenses.
Prior to the Offering, the Company issued, in privately negotiated
transactions, 79,029 shares of its Class B common stock to certain members of
management. The Company recorded a stock based compensation charge in an
amount of approximately $887,000 attributable to the issuance of such stock
F-19
<PAGE>
COINMACH LAUNDRY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY--(CONTINUED)
in 1997. In addition, approximately $103,000 of outstanding receivables
relating to loans to management in connection with prior purchases of the
Company's common stock were forgiven and have been accounted for as a stock-
based compensation charge in 1997.
b. Reclassification and Stock Split
In connection with the Offering, the Company approved a reclassification
(the "Reclassification") of all of its capital stock pursuant to which all
seven classes of the previously issued and outstanding capital stock of the
Company prior to the Offering were converted into a class of preferred stock,
a class of voting common stock and a class of non-voting common stock. As part
of the Reclassification, holders of the Company's Class A common stock, Class
E common stock and Class F common stock immediately prior to the Offering
(collectively, the "Preference Shares") also received a distribution
consisting of shares of Common Stock and shares of Series A preferred stock,
par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), representing an amount equal
to the sum of: (a) preferred dividends on such Preference Shares in an amount
equal to the accrued yield (at a rate of 8% per annum, compounded quarterly)
on the original investment in such Preference Shares through July 23, 1996;
and (b) an amount equal to the original investment in such Preference Shares.
Holders of Preference Shares who are members of the Company's management
received an aggregate of 28,425 shares of Common Stock, and holders of the
Preference Shares who were not members of the Company's management received an
aggregate of 1,000 shares of Preferred Stock.
In connection with the Reclassification, the Company also approved an
approximate 23-to-1 stock split (the "Stock Split") payable to shareholders of
record of the Company on July 12, 1996.
c. Redemption of Preferred Stock
Immediately following the Offering, approximately $19.2 million of the
proceeds of the Offering were used by the Company to retire all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.
d. Stock Option Plan
Prior to the Offering, the Company adopted the 1996 Employee Stock Option
Plan (as amended and restated, the "Stock Option Plan") which provides that
the Company may grant options for the purchase of up to 1,109,147 shares of
common stock to key employees of the Company over a period not to exceed ten
years. The Company may grant incentive stock options or options which do not
qualify as incentive stock options at an exercise price per share not less
than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant.
All options granted under the Stock Option Plan vest over four years in five
equal installments (20% immediately) and expire ten years from the date of
grant.
The Company has granted 181,250 options to various employees of the Company
pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, through March 28, 1997.
On July 23, 1996, in connection with the Offering, the Company granted
certain nonqualified options (the "Options") to certain members of management
(collectively, the "Option Holders") to purchase up to 735,618 shares of
Common Stock at 85% of the initial offering price of the Common Stock. On
September 17, 1996, for the purpose of preserving the Option Holders'
percentage interest of Common Stock represented by the Options (which
percentage interest was decreased as a result of the exercise of the Over-
Allotment Option), the Company granted to the Option Holders additional
nonqualified stock options to purchase up to 3,819 shares of Common Stock (the
"Additional Options"). The Options and
F-20
<PAGE>
COINMACH LAUNDRY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY--(CONTINUED)
Additional Options vest in equal annual installments (20% vested immediately
on the date of grant and the remainder over a four year period) commencing on
July 23, 1996, the effective date of the Offering. With respect to Options and
Additional Options granted to employees of Coinmach, Coinmach will record the
difference between the exercise price and the initial offering price of Common
Stock as a stock-based compensation charge over the applicable vesting period.
On September 17, 1996, the Company granted to certain directors each of whom
was appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company on such date to serve
as independent directors, options entitling each such director to purchase up
to 60,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Independent Director Options"). The
Independent Director Options vest in equal annual installments (25% vest
immediately on the date of grant and the remainder over a three year period),
commencing on September 17, 1996, and entitle each such director to purchase
shares of Common Stock at the initial public offering price of the Common
Stock. Coinmach will record the difference between the exercise price of the
Independent Director Options and the fair market value of the Common Stock on
September 17, 1996 as a stock-based compensation charge over the applicable
vesting period.
For the year ended March 28, 1997, the Company has recorded a stock-based
compensation charge of approximately $1,162,000 relating to the Options, the
Additional Options and the Independent Director Options.
The Company has elected to comply with APB No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the
alternate fair value accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123 requires use
of option valuation models which were not developed for use in valuing such
employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized
only when the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options is less
than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant.
In accordance with SFAS No. 123, pro-forma information regarding net loss
and loss per common share has been determined as if the Company had accounted
for its employee stock options under the fair value method required by SFAS
No. 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of each
grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions for 1997: risk-free interest rate of 6.6%; dividend yields
of 0%, volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common
stock of 24.5% and a weighted-average expected life of the options of five
years.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are
fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of
highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
In management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a
reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options due to
changes in subjective input assumptions which may materially affect the fair
value estimate, and because the Company's employee stock options have
characteristics significantly different from those of traded options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting periods. The
Company's pro forma net loss and net loss per share as of March 31, 1997 is as
follows:

The Company is contingently liable on receivables sold with recourse to
finance companies. The total amount of such receivables outstanding as of
March 28, 1997 is approximately $1.6 million.
The Company is party to various legal proceedings incidental to its
business. Although the ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not
presently determinable, management does not believe that adverse
determinations in any or all such proceedings would have a material adverse
effect upon the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
In connection with insurance coverages, which include workers compensation,
general liability and other coverages, annual premiums are subject to limited
retroactive adjustment based on actual loss experience.
10. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Under the provisions of SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of
Financial Instruments," the Company is required to disclose fair value
information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the
balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate the value. In cases
where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on
estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, the New
Credit Facility, the promissory note related to the Kwik Wash Acquisition and
other long-term debt approximates their fair market value at March 28, 1997.
The carrying amount and related estimated fair value for the Company's Senior
Notes at March 28, 1997 (the carrying amount approximated the estimated fair
market at March 29, 1996) are as follows (in thousands):

office in Charlotte, North Carolina and the relocation of an executive officer
to such office in September 1996, the Company extended a loan to such
executive officer in the principal amount of $500,000 payable in five equal
annual installments commencing in July 1997, with interest accruing at a rate
of 7.5% per annum. The amount of such loan is included in other assets as of

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Coinmach Laundry Corporation ("Coinmach Laundry"), a Delaware corporation,
through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), is the
leading supplier of out-sourced coin-operated laundry equipment services for
multi-family housing properties in the United States. The Company's business
involves leasing laundry rooms from building owners and property management
companies, installing and servicing the laundry equipment and collecting
revenues generated from laundry machines. On September 26, 1997, the Company
owned and operated approximately 417,000 coin-operated washers and dryers in
approximately 42,000 locations on routes throughout the United States and in
151 retail laundromats located throughout Texas.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
the Company have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting and pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. GAAP
requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported therein. Actual results could vary from such
estimates. The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the entire year.
In the opinion of management of the Company, these unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal
recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements
for the interim periods presented.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in
Coinmach Laundry's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 28,
1997.
3. LOSS PER SHARE
Loss per share for each of the six month periods ended September 26, 1997
and September 27, 1996, was calculated based upon the weighted average number
of shares of Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock outstanding, which was
10,484,926 and 7,980,134, respectively.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("FAS
128"). This standard changes the method of calculating earnings per share and
will be effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Application of
FAS 128 to periods ending prior to December 15, 1997 is prohibited; however,
when adopted, all prior period earnings per share data presented will be
required to be restated to conform with the new standard. The Company has
determined that the impact of FAS No. 128 will not have a material effect on
the calculation of earnings per share.
4. LONG-TERM DEBT
On September 26, 1997, the outstanding long-term debt of Coinmach Laundry
and Coinmach Corporation ("Coinmach"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coinmach
Laundry, consisted of (a) approximately $196.7 million of 11 3/4% Senior Notes
due 2005 (the "Senior Notes"), issued by Coinmach,
F-27
<PAGE>
COINMACH LAUNDRY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
4. LONG-TERM DEBT--(CONTINUED)
(b) $187.3 million of term loans, (c) $16.0 million of revolving loans and (d)
a $15.0 million 9 7/8% promissory note due 2004 issued by Coinmach Laundry
(the "Kwik Wash Note"). The outstanding term loans and revolving loans were
made pursuant to a senior financing arrangement obtained by the Company in
January 1997, which consists of a $190 million term loan facility and a $70
million revolving credit facility (as amended, the "Credit Facility").
On October 8, 1997, Coinmach completed the private placement (the "Bond
Offering") of $100 million aggregate principal amount of its 11 3/4% Series C
Notes due 2005 (the "Series C Notes") on substantially identical terms as its
outstanding Senior Notes. The gross proceeds from the Bond Offering were
$109.875 million, of which $100.0 million represented the payment of principal
and $9.875 million represented the payment of a premium for the Series C
Notes. Coinmach used approximately $105.4 million of the net proceeds from the
Bond Offering to repay indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility.
After giving effect to such repayment of indebtedness, the aggregate
outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility is $97.9 million, as of
November 10, 1997. See Note 7--"Subsequent Events."
Indebtedness under the Credit Facility is secured by all of the Company's
real and personal property. Coinmach Laundry has guaranteed the indebtedness
under the Credit Facility and pledged to Bankers Trust Company, as Collateral
Agent, its interests in all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock of Coinmach. In addition to certain terms and provisions, events of
default, and customary restrictive covenants and agreements, the Credit
Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes contain certain
covenants including, but not limited to, a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum
consolidated interest coverage ratio, and limitations on indebtedness, capital
expenditures, advances, investments and loans, mergers and acquisitions,
dividends, stock issuances and transactions with affiliates. Also, the Senior
Notes and the Credit Facility limit Coinmach's ability to pay dividends.
5. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
a. Initial Public Offering
On July 23, 1996, Coinmach Laundry completed its initial public offering
(the "Offering") of 4,120,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $14.00 per
share. Coinmach Laundry's registration statement for 4,000,000 shares of
Common Stock was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") on May 13, 1996 and subsequently declared effective by the
Commission on July 17, 1996. On July 18, 1996, Coinmach Laundry filed with the
Commission an additional registration statement on Form S-1 with respect to
the registration of an additional 120,000 shares of Common Stock, which
registration statement was effective upon filing.
In connection with the Offering, the underwriters were granted a 30-day
option to purchase up to an aggregate of 618,000 additional shares of Common
Stock to cover over-allotments (the "Over-Allotment Option"), which Over-
Allotment Option was exercised on August 16, 1996 with respect to the purchase
of an additional 63,642 shares of Common Stock.
Proceeds from the Offering were approximately $54.5 million (after giving
effect to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option), after underwriting
discounts and commissions and before expenses. After giving effect to the
redemption of the Preferred Stock (as described below), proceeds from the
Offering were approximately $35.3 million, before expenses.
Prior to the Offering, Coinmach Laundry issued, in privately negotiated
transactions, 79,029 shares of its Class B common stock to certain members of
management. Coinmach Laundry recorded a stock based
F-28

compensation charge in an amount of approximately $887,000, attributable to
the issuance of such stock. In addition, in July 1996 approximately $103,000
of receivables relating to loans to management in connection with prior
purchases of Coinmach Laundry's common stock were forgiven and was accounted
for as a stock-based compensation charge.
b. Reclassification and Stock Split
In connection with the Offering, Coinmach Laundry approved a
reclassification (the "Reclassification") of all of its capital stock,
pursuant to which all seven classes of the previously issued and outstanding
capital stock of Coinmach Laundry prior to the Offering were converted into a
class of preferred stock, a class of voting common stock and a class of non-
voting common stock. As part of the Reclassification, holders of Coinmach
Laundry's Class A common stock, Class E common stock and Class F common stock
immediately prior to the Offering (collectively, the "Preference Shares") also
received a distribution consisting of shares of Common Stock and shares of
Series A preferred stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock")
representing an amount equal to the sum of: (a) preferred dividends on such
Preference Shares in an amount equal to the accrued yield (at a rate of 8% per
annum, compounded quarterly) on the original investment in such Preference
Shares through July 23, 1996; and (b) an amount equal to the original
investment in such Preference Shares. Holders of Preference Shares who were
members of the Company's management received an aggregate of 28,425 shares of
Common Stock, and holders of the Preference Shares who were not members of the
Company's management received an aggregate of 1,000 shares of Preferred Stock.
In connection with the Reclassification, Coinmach Laundry also approved an
approximate 23-to-1 stock split (the "Stock Split") payable to shareholders of
record of Coinmach Laundry on July 12, 1996.
c. Redemption of Preferred Stock
Immediately following the Offering, approximately $19.2 million of the
proceeds of the Offering were used by the Company to retire all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.
d. Stock Options
Prior to the Offering, the Company adopted the 1996 Employee Stock Option
Plan (as amended and restated, the "Stock Option Plan") which provides that
the Company may grant options for the purchase of up to 1,109,147 shares of
Common Stock to key employees of the Company over a period of up to ten years.
The Company may grant incentive stock options or options which do not qualify
as incentive stock options at an exercise price per share not less than 100%
of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. All options
granted under the Stock Option Plan vest over four years in five equal
installments (20% vest immediately on the date of grant and the remainder vest
over a four year period) and expire ten years from the date of grant.
The Company has granted 246,250 options to various employees of the Company
pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, through September 26, 1997.
On July 23, 1996, in connection with the Offering, Coinmach Laundry granted
certain non-qualified options (the "Options") to certain members of management
(collectively, the "Option Holders") to purchase up to 735,618 shares of
Common Stock at 85% of the initial offering price of the Common Stock. On
September 17, 1996, for the purpose of preserving the Option Holders'
percentage interest of Common Stock represented by the Options (which
percentage interest was decreased as a result of the exercise of the Over-
Allotment Option), Coinmach Laundry granted to the Option Holders additional
non-
F-29

COINMACH LAUNDRY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
5. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY--(CONTINUED)
qualified stock options to purchase up to 3,819 shares of Common Stock (the
"Additional Options"). The Options and Additional Options vest in equal annual
installments (20% vest immediately on the date of grant and the remainder over
a four year period) commencing on July 23, 1996, the effective date of the
Offering. With respect to Options and Additional Options granted to employees
of the Company, the Company will record the difference between the exercise
price and the initial offering price of Common Stock as a stock-based
compensation charge over the applicable four year vesting period.
On September 17, 1996, Coinmach Laundry granted to certain directors, each
of whom was appointed by the Board of Directors of Coinmach Laundry on such
date to serve as independent directors, options entitling each such director
to purchase up to 60,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Independent Director
Options"). The Independent Director Options vest in equal annual installments
(25% vest immediately on the date of grant and the remainder vest over a three
year period), commencing on September 17, 1996, and entitle each such director
to purchase shares of Common Stock at the initial public offering price of the
Common Stock. The Company will record the difference between the exercise
price of the Independent Director Options and the fair market value of the
Common Stock on September 17, 1996 as a stock-based compensation charge over
the applicable three year vesting period.
On September 5, 1997, Coinmach Laundry granted certain non-qualified options
(the "1997 Options") to certain members of management to purchase up to
200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.90 per share of
Common Stock. The 1997 Options vest in equal annual installments (20% vest
immediately on the date of grant and the remainder vest over a four year
period) commencing on September 5, 1997. The Company will record the
difference between the exercise price of the 1997 Options and the fair market
value of Common Stock on September 5, 1997 as a stock-based compensation
charge over the applicable four year vesting period.
For the six months ended September 26, 1997 and September 27, 1996, the
Company recorded a stock-based compensation charge of approximately $545,000
and $470,000 respectively, relating to the Options, the Additional Options,
the Independent Director Options and the 1997 Options. See Note 7--
"Subsequent Events" for a discussion of Coinmach Laundry's proposed offering
of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock.
6. ACQUISITIONS
On January 8, 1997, Coinmach acquired (the "Kwik Wash Acquisition") 100% of
the outstanding voting securities of the partners of Kwik Wash Laundries, L.P.
("Kwik Wash") for $125 million in cash and the Kwik Wash Note. The Kwik Wash
Acquisition enabled the Company to provide coin-operated laundry equipment
services to multi-family housing properties in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and
Oklahoma and to operate 150 retail laundromats throughout Texas.
On April 23, 1997, Coinmach completed the acquisition and merger (the
"Reliable Acquisition") of Reliable Holding Corp. ("Reliable") and its
subsidiaries, Reliable Laundry Service Inc., Girard-Hopkins Acquisition Corp.,
Maquilados Automaticas S.A. de C.V., and Automatica S.A. de C.V. with and into
Coinmach for $44 million in cash. The Reliable Acquisition provided the
Company with a strong foothold in the California market and an entry into the
northern Mexican market.
On July 17, 1997, Coinmach acquired 100% of the outstanding voting
securities of National Coin Laundry Holding, Inc., an Ohio Corporation
("NCLH") and National Laundry Equipment Company, an Ohio corporation ("NLEC")
which is the parent of National Coin Laundry, Inc., an Ohio corporation
F-30

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
6. ACQUISITIONS--(CONTINUED)
("NCL") and substantially all of the assets of Whitmer Vend-O-Mat Laundry
Services, Inc., an Indiana corporation ("Whitmer"). Coinmach acquired (the
"National Coin Acquisition") NCLH, NLEC, NCL and Whitmer for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $19.0 million in cash. The National Coin
Acquisition enabled the Company to further expand its operations by providing
coin-operated laundry equipment services to multi-family housing properties in
the states of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Georgia, Tennessee, Illinois and Florida, as well as by distributing exclusive
lines of commercial coin and non-coin laundry machines and parts, and by
selling service contracts. Subsequent to the National Coin Acquisition, NCLH,
NLEC and NCL were merged with and into Coinmach.
The Kwik Wash Acquisition, the Reliable Acquisition and the National Coin
Acquisition have been accounted for as purchases. The Company has made
preliminary allocations to fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed in
such transactions as of their respective acquisition dates.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 8, 1997, Coinmach consummated the Bond Offering. The issue price
was 109.875%, representing a 9.94% yield to maturity. The gross proceeds from
the Bond Offering were $109.875 million, of which $100.0 million represented
the payment of principal and $9.875 million represented the payment of a
premium for the Series C Notes. Coinmach used approximately $105.4 million of
the net proceeds from the Bond Offering to repay indebtedness outstanding
under the Credit Facility. After giving effect to such repayment of
indebtedness, the aggregate outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility
is $97.9 million as of November 10, 1997.
On October 14, 1997, Coinmach Laundry filed a registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to a proposed offering of
4,312,500 shares of Common Stock. Of the total number of shares of Common
Stock that are contemplated to be registered for sale, 2,500,000 shares are
contemplated to be offered by Coinmach Laundry, 1,250,000 shares are
contemplated to be offered by certain selling stockholders and 562,500 shares
represent shares subject to an over-allotment option to be granted to the
underwriters by the selling stockholders, which include certain members of
management. There can be no assurance that Coinmach Laundry will consummate
the offering of such shares of Common Stock.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Company's Second Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Company
shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent which it is empowered
to do so unless prohibited from doing so by the Delaware General Corporation
Law, as it exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such
amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to
provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation
to provide prior to such amendment), any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved (including
involvement as a witness) in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or
she was a director or officer of the Company, or while a director or officer
of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee
benefit plan, against all expenses, liabilities, damages, actions, cost of
attachment or similar bonds, claims and losses (including without limitation
costs of investigating, preparing or defending any such claim or action and
attorney's fees and disbursements, judgments, fines, or penalties and amounts
paid in settlement) and any expenses of establishing a right to
indemnification reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection
therewith and that such indemnification shall continue as to any such person
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to
the benefit of such person's heirs, executors and administrators; and that the
Company may, by action of its board of directors, provide indemnification to
employees and agents of the Company with the same scope and effect as
indemnification of directors and officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interest of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; and
further that a corporation may indemnify such person against expenses
(including
II-1
<PAGE>
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with
the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that
the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability
but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery
or such other court shall deem proper. To the extent that a director, officer,
employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith.
The Second Amended and Restated Bylaws further provide that the Company
shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a
proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by
the board of directors of the Company, except that it shall be a defense to
any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses
incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where
the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the Company) that the
claimant has not met the standards of conduct (as set forth above) which make
it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Company to
indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense
shall be on the Company.
The Second Amended and Restated Bylaws further provide that the right to
indemnification shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be
paid by the Company for the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding
in advance of its final disposition unless otherwise determined by the board
of directors of the Company in the specific case upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if
it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company; and that such expenses incurred by other employees
and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board
of directors of the Company deems appropriate. The rights conferred in the
Second Amended and Restated Bylaws to indemnification and the payment of
expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final
disposition are not exclusive of any other right which any person may have or
hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of
incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise.
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law allows a corporation to
eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director of a corporation to
the corporation or to any of its stockholders for monetary damage for a breach
of fiduciary duty as a director, except in the case where the director (i)
breaches his duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)
fails to act in good faith, engages in intentional misconduct or knowingly
violates a law, (iii) authorizes the payment of a dividend or approves a stock
purchase or redemption in violation of Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law or (iv) obtains an improper personal benefit. Article Eleven
of the Company's Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
includes a provision which eliminates directors' personal liability to the
fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
The Company has purchased director and officer liability insurance for its
directors and officers.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The Company (or the "Registrant") hereby undertakes that:
(1) for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form
of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective; and
II-3
<PAGE>
(2) for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, is therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
