                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                       QUARTER ENDED APRIL 30, 1994



(1)   The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements
      are unaudited, and it is suggested that these consolidated
      statements be read in conjunction with the fiscal 1994
      Annual Report, including Notes to Financial Statements.
      However, it is the opinion of the Company that all
      adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
      adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results
      during the interim period have been included.

(2)   See Index to Financial Statements and Supporting Schedules
      on page 1.  Those pages of the Angelica Corporation and
      Subsidiaries Quarterly Report to Shareholders for the
      quarter ended April 30, 1994, listed in such index are
      incorporated herein by reference.  The pages of the
      Quarterly Report to Shareholders which are not listed on the
      index and therefore not incorporated herein by reference are
      furnished for the information of the Commission but are not
      to be deemed "filed" as a part of this report.  The
      Quarterly Report to Shareholders referred to herein is
      located immediately following page 4 of this report.

(3)   For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,
      the Company considers short-term, highly liquid investments
      which are readily convertible into cash, as cash
      equivalents.

      Cash payments for income taxes were $1,016,000 and $676,000
      in 1994 and 1993, respectively; and in these periods
      interest payments were $705,000 and $588,000, respectively.

Combined sales and rental service revenues were up 12.5 percent
for the first quarter ended April 30, 1994 over last year's first
quarter, and gross profit was up 11.8 percent.  Revenues of the
Rental Services segment increased 13.2 percent in the first
quarter, due primarily to the acquisitions made late last year,
and gross profit increased 11.3 percent.  The gross margin
reduction in this segment, due to the impact of competitive
pricing in the marketplace which remained severe on both new
business and contract renewals, was offset by good operating cost
control.  First quarter sales of the Manufacturing and Marketing
segment increased 7.5 percent compared with the same quarter last
year, and gross profit increased 4.5 percent.  The U.S. and United
Kingdom portions of this segment had moderate sales increases,
while the Canadian operation's sales decreased.  In the
Manufacturing and Marketing segment also, gross margin reduction
was more than offset by good operating cost control.  Life Retail
Stores had a 23 percent increase in sales, resulting from a 10.3
percent increase in same-store sales together with new volume from
acquisitions made since the first quarter of last year, the most
significant acquisition being a chain of 21 stores acquired at the
beginning of this first quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2,033,000
or 9.3 percent in the first quarter compared with the same period
last year.  These expenses decreased as a percent of combined
sales and rental service revenues from 21.0 percent to 20.4
percent in the first quarter.  Most of the dollar increase was the
result of acquisitions.  The effective tax rate in the current
quarter was 38.5 percent versus 37.0 percent in the prior year.

Financial Condition
- - -------------------

The Company had working capital of $156,455,000 and a current
ratio of 3.6 to 1 at April 30, 1994, down from $163,955,000 and
5.1 to 1 a year ago and $157,188,000 and 4.0 to 1 at the beginning
of the year largely due to higher short-term debt.  The ratio of
long-term debt to debt-plus-equity was 27.3 percent at the close
of the first quarter, unchanged from the beginning of the year and
down from 29.2 percent a year ago.

Operating activities provided a total cash flow of $1,216,000 in
the first quarter compared with $1,923,000 in the first quarter
last year, with most of the difference being due to increased
requirements for working capital.  Uses of cash flow included
$3,574,000 for acquisitions and $2,314,000 for capital
expenditures.  Financing activities provided a net total of
$3,994,000 of cash flow, primarily the issuance of short-term debt
offset in part by the payment of dividends.  No material change in
the Company's future aggregate cash requirements is foreseen at
the present time.

Based on the Company's cash generation from operations, as well as
its strong working capital position, current ratio and ratio of
long-term debt to total debt-plus-equity, Management believes that
internal funds available from operations plus external funds
available from the issuance of additional debt and/or equity as
needed in the future, will be sufficient for all planned operating
and capital requirements, including acquisitions.

                                                               May 19, 1994


Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to report that the first quarter ended April 30, 1994 marked
the third consecutive quarter that earnings exceeded the comparable prior year
period.  For the first quarter, combined sales and rental service revenues
were $117,055,000, up 12.5 percent from $104,095,000 in last year's first
quarter.  Pretax income of $5,114,000 increased 28.1 percent compared with
$3,992,000 in last year's first quarter, and net income of $3,145,000 rose
25.0 percent from the $2,515,000  earned in the first quarter last year.  Net
income was up somewhat less than pretax income  on a percentage basis as a
result of last year's federal income tax law changes.  Net income per share
was $.35 versus $.28 in the first quarter of last year, an increase of 25.0
percent.

All three of our business segments had improved results over the first quarter
of last year, with individual performances ranging from very good to
excellent.  The largest percentage sales and earnings increase came from Life
Retail Stores, and the largest dollar earnings increase came from the Rental
Services segment.  The Manufacturing and Marketing segment had an excellent
earnings increase but is still troubled by poor results in Canada.  Overall
control of operating costs in the quarter was good as those expenses rose 9.3
percent while combined sales and rental service revenues were up by a larger
12.5 percent.

Revenues of the Rental Services segment increased 13.2 percent in the first
quarter  with the vast majority of that increase coming from Colton,
California and Las Vegas acquisitions made late last year.  Earnings of Rental
Services for the first quarter increased at a rate comparable to the revenue
increase.  Good cost control in the first quarter helped offset the impact of
competitive pricing in the marketplace, which remained severe on both new
business and contract renewals.  Hospitals continue to focus on reducing their
costs, and although this makes it difficult to get price increases in the near
term, it also is causing more hospitals to consider the closing of their on-
premise laundries.  While such decisions have been slow in being made, we
continue to have conversations with numerous hospitals on this subject and
expect it to be a positive for our business for a long time to come.  The
Rental Services segment should  have a good year in fiscal 1995, but how good
depends upon the level of concern on the part of hospitals over potential
Congressional actions to control health care costs.

First quarter sales of the Manufacturing and Marketing businesses increased
7.5 percent compared with the same quarter last year despite a sales decline
in our Canadian operations.  Earnings of this segment increased at a rate
significantly higher than the increase in sales.  The Canadian operations
incurred a  first quarter loss which was small, although larger than that
realized in the same quarter last year, largely due to the  drop in  revenue
from the previously-announced loss of our largest Canadian customer.  The
manufacturing  company in England had a good sales increase and a very small
loss, showing improvement from the first quarter last year.  In the United
States, the Uniform Group had a moderate increase in sales and an excellent
increase in earnings.  These earnings results were principally caused by the
sales increase as well as good control of operating expenses.  Incoming
business from the hospitality markets (i.e.,


       424 South Woods Mill Road, Chesterfield, Missouri  63017-3406
                               314-854-3800


<PAGE> 7

lodging, food service, travel and recreation) was well ahead of last year's
first quarter.  Incoming business from the health care market was up modestly,
the first positive comparison in over a year, but it is clear that this market
continues to be affected by the  general apprehension about moves to control
health care costs.  During the first quarter, the Uniform Group successfully
introduced the most comprehensive computer system upgrade in its history,
which will allow  faster shipment of orders and provide improved customer
service.  As with any system implementation of this magnitude, some short-term
service disruptions occurred, but we believe they are now largely behind us,
and we are well on the way toward realizing the full benefits of these new
systems.  For the remainder of this fiscal year, we expect the results of the
Manufacturing and Marketing segment will  show continued improvement over the
prior year.

Life Retail Stores had an excellent first quarter with  a 23.0 percent
increase in sales and an even better increase in earnings.  The higher sales
volume resulted from a 10.3 percent increase in same-store sales together with
new volume from acquisitions made since the first quarter of last year, the
most significant acquisition being the 21 stores of Z&H Uniform acquired at
the very beginning of this first quarter.  At the end of the quarter, Life was
operating 264 stores compared with 246 at the same time last year.  Same-store
sales continue to show excellent increases as we benefit from increased demand
from customers and continued good management of merchandise in the stores,
better meeting the needs of those customers.  It is important to note that the
first quarter of last year was a very good quarter for Life, which makes these
results even more impressive.  We look forward to Life Retail Stores having
continued success throughout this fiscal year.

Our first quarter results were excellent compared with the first quarter of
last year, but we should not lose sight of the fact that the first quarter
last year was not very good.  Although the comparisons become more difficult
as the year continues, we expect to have much improved results in fiscal 1995
compared with fiscal 1994.  Our enthusiasm is  moderated  somewhat by the
continuing uncertainty of what effect possible new legislation will have on
the health care market.  Nevertheless, the remainder of our business should do
very well, and that combined with what we presently believe can be realized
from the health care market should cause us to have a good year.

Looking into the future, we continue to believe that the fundamentals of all
of our businesses remain sound, and we are optimistic about long-term
performance.  An increased emphasis on cost control in the health care
industry is a long-term positive for all three of our business segments, which
can show that their services and products save money for health care
institutions.  The remainder of the economy having improved significantly, our
non-health care customers seem to be doing much better, and this is triggering
additional business from those market segments.  With these issues in mind,
combined with the proactive steps each of our businesses has taken to improve
operations and control costs, we feel that  future performance should be much
better than in the recent past.

Respectfully submitted,
