                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note (1) General: The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB related to interim
period financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements do not
include certain information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, the
accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The results
of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the
Company's financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1999. The June 30, 1999
balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements as of that date.

NOTE (2) Basis of Presentation: On November 1, 1998, Steiner-Atlantic Corp.
("Steiner") was merged (the "Merger") with and into, and became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of, the Company. As a result of the Merger, the Company added
Steiner's operations as a supplier of dry cleaning, industrial laundry equipment
and steam boilers to its own telecommunications operations as a manufacturer and
seller of telephone test sets and customer premise equipment.

On November 5,1999, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of
Incorporation pursuant to which, effective November 7, 1999, the Company's name
was changed from Metro-Tel Corp. to DRYCLEAN USA, Inc.

For financial accounting (but not corporate law) purposes, the Merger is treated
as a "reverse" acquisition of the Company by Steiner, utilizing the "purchase"
method of accounting. As a result, all financial statements of the Company
included in periodic reports filed by the Company following the Merger covering
periods prior to November 1, 1998 reflect only the results of operations,
financial position and cash flows of Steiner on a stand alone basis. All
consolidated financial statements of the Company for periods commencing November
1, 1998, in addition. include the results of operations, financial position and
cash flows of the Company's telecommunications operations from and after
November 1, 1998. Accordingly, the results for the six month and three month
periods ended December 31, 1998 includes two months of operations of the
telecommunications operations.

NOTE (3) Earnings Per Common Share: In 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 128,
"Earnings per share". Statement No. 128 replaced the calculation of primary and
fully diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic
earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of stock options. Diluted
earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted
earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been
presented to conform to the Statement No. 128 requirements.

Note (4) - Proforma Income Tax: Prior to November 1, 1998, Steiner was a
Subchapter S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), and accordingly, its shareholders, rather than it, were subject to
income taxation on Steiner's earnings. The proforma provision for income taxes
represents the provision for income taxes that would have been recorded had
Steiner been taxed under Subchapter C of the Code for the periods shown.

Note (5) - Segment Information: The Company's reportable segments are strategic
businesses that offer different products and services. They are managed
separately because each business requires different technology and marketing
strategies. The Company primarily evaluates the operating performance of its
segments based on the categories noted in the table below. The Company has no
sales between segments.

Financial information for the Company's business segments is as follows:

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

For the six month period ended December 31, 1999, cash decreased by $602,262.
Operating activities generated $195,079 of cash with $347,167 provided by net
income and $62,578 and $3,641 derived from non-cash expenses for depreciation
and amortization and from bad debts, respectively. Additional cash was generated
by a decrease in accounts and lease receivables ($432,108), and pre-paid
expenses ($5,970) which was substantially offset by an increase in inventories
($408,048) as a result of purchases made to achieve annual purchase discounts
and as a result of delays in customers taking delivery. Cash was also provided
by an increase in customer deposits ($76,960). Decreases in accounts payable and
accrued expenses ($279,416) and income taxes payable ($48,881) resulted in the
other uses of cash in operating activities. Investing activities used cash of
$641,341 primarily to fund the acquisition by Steiner of the worldwide rights to
the name DRYCLEAN USA, along with existing franchise and license agreements for
$550,000 and $91,341 for transaction costs and to purchase capital assets.
Financing activities used cash of $156,000 to make required monthly installments
of principal under the Company's term loan ($240,000) partially offset by
borrowing $64,000 under the Company's line of credit and proceeds from the
exercise of stock options ($20,000). The Company believes that its present cash,
cash it expects to generate from operations and borrowing available under its
$2,250,000 line of credit will be sufficient to meet its operational needs.

Y2000 COMPLIANT
- ---------------

As part of its Year 2000 compliance program, the Company upgraded its software
programs and carried out tests of its accounts receivable and accounts payable
files prior to the end of 1999, and concluded that its internal management
information systems, billing, payroll and other information services were Year
2000 compliant. Since January 1, 2000, the Company has not experienced any
difficulties with its operating systems and does not contemplate any problems in
the future associated with Year 2000 concerns.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

The results of both the six and three month periods ended December 31, 1998,
reflect the results of drycleaning and laundry equipment and steam boiler
supplier operations for the full periods along with two months of operations of
the telecommunications division. Both operations are fully included in the
results for the six and three month periods ended December 31, 1999.

Net sales for the six month period ended December 31, 1999 increased by $39,961
over the same period of fiscal 1999, but decreased by $1,025,435 (20.1%) during
the second quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to the same period of fiscal 1999.
The increase in sales in the six month period of fiscal 2000 was mainly due to
the inclusion of the telecommunications operations for the entire period
compared to two months in the prior comparable

                                       8

<PAGE>

period. Steiner experienced a reduction in sales across all product lines during
the three month period of fiscal 2000, which the Company believes was due to
deferred purchasing due to Year 2000 concerns. Price increases were immaterial.

Management fees, commissions and other income for the six month period ended
December 31, 1999 increased by $110,264 (38.1%) over the same period of a year
ago, mainly due to commissions and license fees generated by new drycleaning
brokerage and licensing subsidiaries. For the three month period ended December
31, 1999, other revenues decreased by $12,478 (5.3%) mainly due to a reduction
in management fees which was partially offset by generated brokerage and license
fees.

Costs of goods sold, expressed as a percentage of sales, improved to 70.9% and
68.9% for the six and three month periods, respectively, of fiscal 2000 from
74.6% and 74.3% for the respective comparable periods of fiscal 1999. The
improvements were mainly due to the inclusion of telecommunication sales, which
historically have a higher margin.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $300,715 (16.4%) and
$100,584 (9.8%) for the six and three month periods, respectively, in fiscal
2000 from the comparable periods of fiscal 1999. The increases in each period
were attributed to the inclusion of the telecommunications division which offset
a reduction in this category of expenses at Steiner caused by a decrease in
executive compensation as a result of the merger.

Research and development expenses, which relate solely to telecommunications
operations, increased by $87,915 (214.9%) and $25,504 (62.3%) for the six and
three month periods, respectively, over the same periods of a year ago mainly
due to the fact that only two months of telecommunication operations were
included in both the six and three month periods ended December 31, 1998.

Interest income decreased by $16,384 (52.1%) and $11,901 (67.6%) during the six
and three month periods, respectively, of fiscal 2000 from fiscal 1999, as a
result of fewer customer equipment leases (which qualify as sales-type leases)
being outstanding.

Interest expense was approximately the same during the first six months of
fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999. During the three month period of fiscal 2000
interest expense decreased by $18,269 (30.5%) from the comparable period of
fiscal 1999 due to a reduction in outstanding debt.

The provision for income taxes increased by $127,045 (121.7%) in the first six
months of fiscal 2000 over the same period of fiscal 1999 because, for the first
four months of fiscal 1999, Steiner was a Subchapter S Corporation under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and accordingly its shareholders,
rather than it, were subject to income taxation on Steiner's earnings. (See Note
