                              MAC-GRAY CORPORATION
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                     (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  In the opinion of the management of Mac-Gray Corporation (the "Company" or
"Mac-Gray"), the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal, recurring adjustments) which
are necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of June 30,
1999 and December 31, 1998 and the results of its operations and cash flows for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. The unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's fiscal 1998 audited consolidated financial
statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Annual
Report on Form 10-K. The results for interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

  The company generates the majority of its revenue from card and coin-operated
laundry and reprographics equipment located in the Northeastern, Midwestern and
Southeastern United States. A large portion of its revenue is also derived from
the sale and lease of the Company's MicroFridge(R) product lines. The Company's
principal customer base is the multi-housing market, which consists of
apartments, condominium units, colleges and universities. The Company also
sells, services and leases commercial laundry equipment to commercial
laundromats and institutions. The majority of the Company's purchases of coin
route laundry equipment is from one supplier.

2.   LONG TERM DEBT

  The 1998 Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for borrowings under a
revolving line of credit of up to $90,000.

  This credit facility restricts payments of dividends and other distributions,
restricts the Company from making certain acquisitions and incurring
indebtedness, and requires it to maintain certain financial ratios. The Company
was in compliance with the terms of the credit agreement as of June 30, 1999.
The balance outstanding under this credit facility was $85,020 at June 30, 1999.
Long term debt also includes various notes payable totaling $3,806 at December
31, 1998 and $3,405 at June 30, 1999 and various unsecured notes payable to
former shareholders totaling $1,631 at December 31, 1998 and $1,252 at June 30,
1999.

3.   DEFERRED RETIREMENT OBLIGATION

  The deferred retirement obligation at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998
relates to payments due to a former shareholder of the Company in connection
with a retirement agreement which provides for annual payments of $104 until the
death of the former shareholder.  The liability at June 30, 1999 and December
31, 1998 has been estimated based upon the life expectancy of the former
shareholder utilizing actuarial tables.

4.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  The Company is involved in various litigation proceedings arising in the
normal course of business.  In the opinion of management, the Company's ultimate
liability, if any, under pending litigation would not materially affect its
financial condition or the results of its operations.

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                     (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)


  Contingent shares represented common shares held in escrow related to the
merger with Intirion Corporation (MicroFridge(R)) which was accounted for as a
pooling of interests. In March 1999, these shares were released from escrow to
the former Intirion shareholders.

6.   REPURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK

  On October 29, 1998, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to
repurchase up to $8,000 of its common stock through the open market. During the
three months ended June 30, 1999 the Company repurchased 30,200 shares for a
total cash outlay of $227. Since the inception of the plan, the Company has
repurchased 218,300 shares at a total cost of $1,975.

  Also included in treasury stock are 600,026 shares of common stock purchased
under a redemption agreement related to the 1997 acquisition of Sun Services.
The total cost of these shares amounted to $7,645.

7.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

  The Company operates three business units which are based on the Company's
different product and service categories: Laundry, MicroFridge(R) and
Reprographics. These three business units have been aggregated into two
reportable segments ("Laundry and Reprographics" and "MicroFridge(R)"). The
Laundry and Reprographics business units have been aggregated into one
reportable segment (Laundry and Reprographics) since the long-term financial
performance of these divisions are affected by similar economic conditions. The
Laundry segment provides coin and card-operated laundry equipment to multiple
housing facilities such as apartment buildings, colleges and universities and
public housing complexes. The Laundry business unit also operates as a
distributor of and provides service to commercial laundry equipment in public
laundromats, as well as institutional purchasers, including hospitals,
restaurants and hotels, for use in their own on-premise laundry facilities. The
Reprographics business unit provides coin and card-operated reprographics
equipment to academic and public libraries. The MicroFridge(R) segment sells and
leases its own proprietary line of refrigerator/freezer/microwave oven
combinations to a customer base which includes colleges and universities,
government, hotel, motel and assisted living facilities.

  There are no intersegment revenues.

8.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

  The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130. "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130) in
June 1997. The Company adopted SFAS 130 for fiscal 1998. SFAS 130 requires
presentation of certain information related to comprehensive income. For the
three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company had no other
comprehensive income as defined by SFAS 130, therefore there is no impact on the
Company's balance sheet and income statement.

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


  This report contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  The Company's actual results
could differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include:
implementation of acquisition strategy;  integration of acquired businesses;
ability to meet future capital requirements;  dependence upon certain suppliers;
lease renewals;  retention of senior executives;  market acceptance of new
products and services;  and those factors discussed in Mac-Gray's filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  The historical financial
information presented herein represents the consolidated results of Mac-Gray.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related notes thereto presented elsewhere in this
report and with the annual financial statements and related notes previously
filed by Mac-Gray with the SEC on its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW

  Mac-Gray derives its revenue principally through the operation and maintenance
of amenities in multiple housing units, including laundry and MicroFridge(R)
products. Mac-Gray also operates card and coin-operated reprographics equipment
in academic and public libraries. Mac-Gray operates laundry rooms, reprographics
equipment and MicroFridge(R) equipment under long-term leases with property
owners, colleges and universities and governmental agencies. Mac-Gray's Laundry
Route business consists of approximately 166,000 laundry machines, operated in
over 25,000 multiple housing laundry rooms located in 29 states. Mac-Gray's
reprographics business is conducted in approximately 2,200 locations
concentrated in the northeast, Florida and Texas. Mac-Gray's MicroFridge(R)
business consists of leased units located throughout the United States as well
as sales of its MicroFridge(R) product line.

  Mac-Gray also derives revenue as a distributor and servicer of commercial
laundry equipment. Additionally, the Company sells or rents laundry equipment to
hospitals, restaurants, hotels and similar institutional users that operate
their own on-premise laundry facilities.

REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK

  In January 1999 the Company repurchased all of its outstanding redeemable
stock. The redeemable common stock was issued in April 1997 in conjunction with
the Company's acquisition of Sun Services of America, Inc. and R. Bodden Coin-Op
Laundry, Inc. The redemption amounted to 600,026 shares and a total cash outlay
of $7.6 million. The shares have been placed in treasury by the Company.

YEAR 2000

  The Company continues to research and test potential year 2000 ("Y2K")
problems within its software and systems. During 1998 the Company contracted
with an outside consultant to assist in the evaluation of Y2K preparedness.
Through June 30, 1999 the Company has not incurred significant costs directly
associated with Y2K evaluations and corrections. The Company does not expect to
incur significant costs moving forward to rectify any Y2K issues. Should any Y2K
issues be identified in the coming months which the Company believes could
remain unresolved into the latter stages of 1999, the Company will develop
contingency plans. Such contingency plans may include increasing inventories to
prevent delays in new equipment installations, and the temporary addition of
staff to facilitate manual processing of information.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1998.

  Revenue.  Revenue increased by $4,405, or 13%, to $37,273 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 from the three months ended June 30, 1998. Revenue increased
by $13,795, or 23%, to $74,652 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from the
six months ended June 30, 1998. This increase is related to an increase in route
revenue, which is made up of money collected through coin- and card-operated
equipment, of $814, or 4%, from the three months ended June 30, 1998, and
$8,907, or 21%, from the six months ended June 30, 1998, due to the expansion of
existing operations and the additional revenues from the route businesses
acquired during 1998. Sales revenue increased $3,162, or 34%, from the three
months ended June 30, 1998, and $3,983, or 25%, from the six months ended June
30, 1998, due to increases in sales of both laundry equipment and the
MicroFridge(R) division.

  Route Related Expenses.  Route related expenses include commissions paid to
route customers as well as those costs associated with installing and servicing
machines and the costs of collecting, counting and depositing route revenue.
Route related expenses increased $1,395, or 9%, to $16,331 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 from the three months ended June 30, 1998, and $7,616, or
27%, to $35,338 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from the six months ended
June 30, 1998. This increase was primarily related to an increase in commissions
expense which is tied to the increase in route revenue. The increase is also
related to an increase in the Company's machine base which is a result of both
internal growth and acquisitions made during the second quarter of 1998. The
Company has expanded into territories where there has been no previously
established infrastructure. As a result, operating costs relative to revenue in
these new areas are higher than normal. In June 1999 the Company acquired a
laundry route business of approximately 4,000 machines in the greater Chicago
area. Due to the density of the Company's present route business in this market,
these machines should help to raise the Company's operating margins.

  Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization increased by
$1,167, or 35%, to $4,505 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from the
three months ended June 30, 1998, and $2,635, or 43%, to $8,797 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase
was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of businesses during the second
quarter of 1998 which resulted in additional machines to depreciate, as well as
an increase in intangible assets to amortize. Depreciation also increased as a
result of the increase in the Company's machine base due to internal growth.

  Selling, General and Administration.  Selling, general and administration
expenses increased by $535, or 12%, to $5,048 for the three months ended June
30, 1999 from the three months ended June 30, 1998, and $1,570, or 18%, to
$10,471 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from the six months ended June
30, 1998. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in sales staff,
sales commissions earned as a result of internal expansion in the route business
and the increase of MicroFridge(R) sales as well as certain non-recurring
charges associated with the development of new integrated marketing materials.

  Interest and Other Expense.  Interest and other expense, net of interest and
other income, increased by $618, or 64%, to $1,587 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 from the three months ended June 30, 1998, and $1,771, or 140%, to
$3,035 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from the six months ended June 30,
1998. This increase is primarily related to an increase in outstanding
borrowings which are related to the significant acquisition activity in the
second quarter of 1998. Interest expense is also impacted by borrowings used to
repurchase shares of the Company's common stock during the fourth quarter of
1998 and the first six months of 1999.

  Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes decreased by $136,
or 18%, to $604 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from the three months
ended June 30, 1998, and $306, or 16%, to $1,589 for the six months ended June
30, 1999 from the six months ended June 30, 1998. These decreases are due to
corresponding decreases in taxable income in each of these periods. The
effective tax rate is higher for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999
than it was for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, due to a tax
benefit of $370,000 associated with the acquisition of the MicroFridge(R)
division in the second quarter of 1998.

SEASONALITY

  The Company experiences seasonality as a result of its significant operations
in the college and university market. Revenues derived from the college and
university market represent approximately 25% of the Company's total revenue.
Laundry and reprographics route revenues are derived substantially during the
school year which includes the first, second and fourth calendar quarters.
Conversely, during the third calendar quarter when colleges and universities are
not in session, operating expenses increase as a result of Mac-Gray's increased
product installation activities. Product sales, principally MicroFridge(R), to
this market are also higher during the third calendar quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

  Mac-Gray's primary sources of cash since December 31, 1998 have been operating
activities and bank borrowings. The Company's primary uses of cash have been the
purchase of redeemable common stock, other capital stock transactions and
capital expenses including the purchase of new laundry machines, MicroFridge(R)
equipment, and smart card based payment systems. The Company anticipates that it
will continue to use cash flow from its operating activities to finance working
capital needs, including interest payments on any outstanding indebtedness, as
well as capital expenditures.

  Cash flows provided by operations were $1,198 and $5,068 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash flow from operations consists
primarily of route revenue, product sales, laundry equipment service revenue,
and rental revenue, offset by commissions, route expenditures, cost of product
sales, cost of rental revenue and selling, general and administration expenses.
The decrease in cash provided by operations for the six-month period ended June
30, 1999 was due primarily to the increase in inventory purchases and the timing
of such purchases as compared to prior year to prepare for summer installations
of equipment on college campuses.

  Cash used in investing activities was $10,693 and $53,505 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 respectively. Capital expenditures related to
equipment acquisition were $8,280 and $6,108 for the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash flows related to business acquisitions were
$3,000 and $48,269 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

  Net cash flows from financing activities were $9,081 and $50,710 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Financing activities for
those periods consist primarily of proceeds from and repayments of bank
borrowings, capital stock transactions, and payments. Capital stock transactions
in 1999 include the use of $7,645 to purchase redeemable common stock and $1,269
used to repurchase shares of common stock.

  The 1998 Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for borrowings under a
revolving line of credit of up to $90,000, and converts to a term loan after
three years for the balance outstanding at the date of convergence. The term
loan has a weighted five year amortization schedule with a balloon payment due
after the second year of the term loan. Outstanding indebtedness under the 1998
Credit Facility bears interest at the Company's option, at a rate equal to the
prime rate minus .5% or LIBOR plus the applicable margin (either (i)1.5% for
loans outstanding which aggregate less than $50,000, or (ii) 1.75% for loans
outstanding which exceed $50,000), or the Cost of Funds rate plus the applicable
margin. The interest rate in effect at June 30, 1999 was approximately 6.5%. The
1998 Credit Facility imposes certain financial and operational covenants on the
Company, including restrictions on indebtedness, certain capital expenditures,
investments and acquisitions and on the Company's ability to pay dividends and
to make distributions. The 1998 Credit Facility, under certain limited
circumstances, also restricts the payment of dividends and other distributions
as well as certain acquisitions and investments. The 1998 Credit Facility is
secured by a blanket lien on the assets of the Company and each of its
subsidiaries, as well as a pledge by the Company of all of the capital stock of
its subsidiaries. The Company was in compliance with the terms of the credit
agreement as of June 30, 1999.

  The Company believes that the amount available under the Credit Facility and
cash flow generated by operations will be sufficient to fund the Company's
normal working capital needs and capital expenditures for the foreseeable
future. In addition, to the extent that the Company were to borrow all amounts
then available to it under the 1998 Credit Facility in connection with one or
more acquisitions or in connection with significant capital expenditures, either
in the short-term or in the long-term, management believes that cash generated
from operating activities will be sufficient to fund the Company's operating
expenses and debt service needs for the foreseeable future. Additional
financing, under the 1998 Credit Facility or otherwise, may, however, be
required in connection with an acquisition or acquisitions which the Company may
consummate in the future. To the extent that any such additional financing is
needed, and can not be obtained on terms favorable to the Company, if at all,
the Company's ongoing capital improvement efforts and acquisition activity will
likely be reduced or delayed as cash generated from operating activities is used
for operating expenses and debt service.

INFLATION

  The Company does not believe that its financial performance has been
materially affected by inflation.
