               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                       QUARTER ENDED JULY 27, 1996



(1)  The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements are
     unaudited, and it is suggested that these consolidated statements be read
     in conjunction with the fiscal 1996 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 July 27, 1996, 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 $2,806,000 and $4,476,000 in the
     first half of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively; and in these periods
     interest payments were $4,657,000 and $3,902,000, respectively.

</TABLE>

Combined sales and textile service revenues increased 0.6 percent in the
second quarter ended July 27, 1996 and declined 0.6 percent in the first
half of the year compared with prior year periods.  Excluding acquisitions
made over the last year, combined sales and revenues would have decreased
3.1 percent and 4.1 percent, respectively.  Textile service revenues rose
2.8 percent and gross profit dropped 3.3 percent as margins were adversely
affected by poor performance by a small group of plants plus continued
price pressures from health care customers.  Second quarter sales of the
Manufacturing and Marketing segment decreased 1.1 percent compared with the
same quarter last year, and gross profit increased 1.0 percent.  The
Canadian operations of this segment had second quarter results which were
much improved over last year while the United Kingdom operations had lower
results.  The U.S. operations had both increased sales and better operating
results.  Life Retail Stores' second quarter sales increased 7.2 percent as
a result of a 3.1 percent increase in same-store sales together with volume
from acquisitions made since last year and gross profit rose 8.8 percent.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $641,000 or 2.7
percent in the second quarter compared with the same period last year, with
most of the increase being the result of acquisitions.  These expenses
increased as a percent of combined sales and textile service revenues from
19.7 percent to 20.1 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 1997.

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

The Company had working capital of $170,641,000 and a current ratio of 4.3
to 1 at July 27, 1996, compared with $183,057,000 and 5.2 to 1 a year ago
and $181,043,000 and 5.0 to 1 at the beginning of the year.  Lower working
capital and current ratio were the result of the use of cash and incurrence
of short-term debt to finance capital expenditures and acquisitions.  The
ratio of long-term debt to debt-plus-equity was 34.0 percent at the close
of the second quarter, compared with 34.6 percent at the beginning of the
year and 33.1 percent a year ago.

Operating activities provided a total cash flow of $9,309,000 in the first
half compared with $6,314,000 in the first half last year, with most of the
difference being due to decreased requirements for working capital.  Uses
of cash flow included $14,461,000 for capital expenditures and $2,090,000
for acquisitions.  Capital expenditures include outlays for two new Textile
Services plants to replace existing plants as part of the restructuring
plan adopted at the end of the last fiscal year.  Financing activities
reflect the issuance of short-term borrowing of $6,100,000 offset by the
normal sinking fund payments for long-term debt and 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 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.

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to report that second quarter earnings increased slightly
over the same quarter last year, breaking a string of four quarters of
declines compared with the comparable prior period.  Combined sales and
textile service revenues for the second quarter were $122,588,000, up 0.6
percent from $121,860,000 in last year's second quarter.  Pretax income of
$4,318,000 compared with $4,303,000 in the prior year, and net income of
$2,677,000 increased 1.2 percent from $2,646,000 in the comparable prior
period.  Net income per share was $.30 versus $.29 in the second quarter of
last year, an increase of 3.5 percent.

Combined sales and textile service revenues for the first half of this year
were $244,229,000 versus $245,687,000 in last year's first half, or 0.6
percent lower.  Income before taxes was $9,249,000, which compared with
$9,893,000 in the first six months of last year, and net income decreased
5.8 percent to $5,734,000 versus $6,084,000 in the same period last year.
In the first half of this year, earnings per share were $.63 compared with
$.67 last year.

A significant second quarter earnings improvement by our smallest business
segment, Life Retail Stores, together with a modest earnings increase by our
Manufacturing and Marketing segment, was offset to some extent by a modest
decrease in profits of Textile Services, our largest business segment.  For
the first half of the year, a significant earnings gain in the Retail Store
segment was offset by declines in earnings in both the Textile Services and
the Manufacturing and Marketing segments.

Revenues of the Textile Services segment increased 2.8 percent in the second
quarter, with all of that increase being the result of acquisitions made
last year.  The percentage decline in earnings for the second quarter was
somewhat less than the decline in the first quarter, and was principally the
result of poor performance by a small group of plants.  Two plants closed at
the end of the second quarter pursuant to the restructuring plan performed
much more poorly  as they approached shutdown than had been expected.  The
Las Vegas plant also had a significant decline in earnings compared with the
second quarter of last year, still feeling the effect of the previously-
reported loss of a large, non-health care customer at midyear last year.
However, we are pleased to report that the second quarter decline in
earnings in Las Vegas was substantially less than the decline in the first
quarter, and due to recent volume improvements, we expect that plant to
continue to improve as the year goes on.  A few other plants had declines in
earnings, principally the result of a loss of customers due to competitive
pricing where we elected to "hold the line" against further margin
deterioration.  A new series of cost reduction steps are being taken to help
offset this revenue loss and margin pressure which will benefit earnings in
the remainder of the year.  Earnings in the second quarter for the Textile
Services segment were somewhat below our expectations, but we still believe
that this business segment will show earnings improvement for the balance of
the year.

Second quarter sales of the Manufacturing and Marketing segment declined 1.1
percent, with a small sales increase in the U.S. operations being offset by
sales declines in the foreign operations.  Operating results improved in the
United States and Canada, partially offset by lower results in the United
Kingdom.  The improvement in earnings of the Angelica Image Apparel
division, this segment's U.S. operations, was a result of increases in sales
and gross margins offset in part by higher operating expenses.  Notably,
incoming business in the United States was up nicely over the second quarter
of last year, with the health care market showing the strongest gains and
the hospitality markets showing a slight increase.  Even  though the
Canadian operations had lower sales in the second quarter, improved gross
margins together with excellent control of operating expenses resulted in a
good earnings increase.  At our operations in England, a drop in



<PAGE> 7

sales volume, combined with lower margins, caused a loss in the second
quarter compared with a small profit last year.  Improving incoming business
levels at the Angelica Image Apparel division, together with better results
from our Canadian operations, cause us to be optimistic about improved
earnings in the Manufacturing and Marketing segment during the remainder of
this fiscal year.

Second quarter sales of Life Retail Stores increased 7.2 percent, and
earnings increased at a significantly more rapid rate than the sales
increase.  The same-store sales gain for the second quarter was 3.1 percent,
down from a gain of 8.1 percent in the first quarter this year.  During the
second quarter, Life announced the acquisition of a chain of thirteen retail
uniform stores in Texas and Louisiana which should add total annual sales
volume of approximately $2,700,000.  This acquisition provided geographical
expansion by Life into three cities not previously served, and also
increased market penetration in other markets already served.  At the end of
the second quarter, Life was operating 282 stores, an increase of 16 stores
over the same period last year.  This segment continues to be on track to
post its tenth consecutive year of record earnings.

The highlight of the second quarter was our announcement that we reached
agreement with BJC Health System, a major integrated health care network
headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, to provide total linen service to more
than 32 of BJC's acute care hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and extended-care
facilities in Eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois.  We will provide textile
rental laundry service and health care garments as well as linen management
systems designed to help lower BJC's total textile costs.  We are pleased to
provide our services to this very prestigious health care institution.  The
phase-in of BJC's facilities is under way, but will take several more months
and is expected to produce additional annual revenues of approximately
$10,000,000 when complete.  This agreement represents further confirmation of
the nationwide trend of hospitals shifting from on-premise and cooperative
laundries to contract laundry service in order to lower textile and laundry
processing costs.  We continue to have numerous conversations with hospitals
that have on-premise laundries or that belong to co-op laundries which are
interested in our lower-cost, outsourcing alternative.  This offers us a
significant opportunity for revenue and earnings growth in the future.

Also accomplished in the second quarter was the start-up of our new textile
service plant at Rockmart, Georgia, which under our restructuring plan
replaced our laundry at nearby Rome, Georgia.  As a part of that plan, the
Montgomery, Alabama laundry was closed and the volume moved to Rockmart,
where greater operating efficiencies are anticipated with the larger volume
throughput.

We were pleased to post an improvement in second quarter earnings, but were
somewhat disappointed that the increase was not quite as large as we had
planned.  The two textile service plants that are now closed were part of
the reason for being below our expectations, but continuing competitive
pricing and resulting margin squeeze in the health care market are causing
us to moderate expectations for earnings increases by the Textile Services
segment during the remainder of the year.  As noted above, we have
undertaken a new round of cost reduction efforts in this business segment in
response to these continuing pressures.  We believe we have taken, and we
will continue to take, the necessary steps to show overall earnings
increases for the remainder of the year.  While the health care market still
offers us great long-term opportunities, we believe it will remain a very
cost-competitive market in the near term.  The other markets that we serve
are experiencing good economic conditions, and we expect that this will help
improve future operating results.  We continue to believe that the
fundamentals of our businesses remain sound, and for the remainder of this
current year we expect to experience increases in earnings.

Respectfully submitted,


/s/ Lawrence J. Young

Item 4.  Results of Votes of Security Holders
- ---------------------------------------------

The Annual Shareholders Meeting was held on May 29, 1996.  The Items on the
agenda other than the election of Directors were two shareholder proposals,
both of which were defeated by the shareholders.

APPROVAL OF GOLDEN PARACHUTE AGREEMENTS   The shareholder requested
that the Board of Directors adopt a policy against entering into future
agreements with officers and directors of the corporation which provide
compensation contingent on a change of control of the corporation, unless
such compensation agreements were submitted to a vote of the shareholders
and approved by a majority of shares voting on the issue.

ELIMINATION OF CLASSIFIED BOARD OF DIRECTORS   The submitting shareholder
requested that the Board of Directors take the necessary steps, in accordance
with state law, to declassify the Board of Directors so that all directors are
elected annually, such declassification to be effected in a manner that does
not affect the unexpired terms of directors previously elected.

     "(f) The word `compensation' means all remuneration for
          personal services paid a Participant by the
          Company during a Plan Year, including
          discretionary or incentive bonus or other extra
          compensation and all employee contributions under

          Option Plan for Directors and the Angelica

          contributions constituted taxable income to the
          Participant, but excluding any matching
          contributions in cash and/or Company stock made by
          the Company on behalf of the Participant under an
          incentive, stock or nonqualified deferred
          compensation plan maintained by the Company, any
          contractual bonus committed in connection with the
          acquisition of any business by the Company, any
          costs of this plan, any amount contributed by the
          Company for the benefit of such Participant to any
          pension or profit sharing plan (including the
          Federal Social Security Program), any amount paid
          by the Company on behalf of such Participant for
          life, accident, health or medical insurance or for

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this amendment to be

                    SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO THE
                      ANGELICA CORPORATION
                          PENSION PLAN
                  (As Restated April 1, 1989)



     WHEREAS, Angelica Corporation (herein referred to as the

"Company") established effective April 1, 1980, the Angelica

Corporation Pension Plan (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan");

and

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend said Plan effective as

of August 1, 1996.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company does hereby amend the Plan

effective as of August 1, 1996, in the following respect:

     Section 1.10 of the Plan is hereby deleted in its entirety

and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

          "Section 1.10.  `Compensation' means all salary,
     wages and other amounts paid to a Participant,
     including overtime or premium pay, commissions and
     discretionary bonuses and amounts paid (at straight-
     time rates for hourly-paid persons and at regular
     salary rates for salaried persons) for periods not
     worked while on leave of absence or because of vacation
     time, holiday time off, furlough, sick leave,
     bereavement or military leave or jury duty; provided,
     however, that Compensation paid while a Participant is
     on a leave of absence shall only be counted if the
     Participant returns to active employment immediately
     following the termination of the leave of absence
     unless the Participant dies prior to the termination of
     the leave of absence in which case his Compensation
     paid while on such leave of absence shall be counted.
     Compensation does not include any matching
     contributions in cash and/or Company stock made by the
     Company or any Affiliated Employer on behalf of the

     deferred compensation plan maintained by the Company or
     any Affiliated Employer, any payments or the value of
     any shares of stock received under the Performance
     Shares Plan For Selected Management, any remuneration
     paid to a Participant after the Participant's
     termination of employment (except the first commission
     check paid to the Participant after the last day of

     not allowed as such and treated as additional

     that Compensation shall include the portion of any
     premiums for group term life insurance paid by the
     Company which constitutes taxable income to the

     Contributions for Federal income tax purposes) from and after
     February 1, 1984 under the Angelica Corporation Retirement
     Savings Plan, whether or not such contributions constituted
     taxable income to the Employee.  The amount shown on the
     records of the Affiliated Companies as paid a Participant for

     unless demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the Administrator,
     to be clearly erroneous.

     made under this Plan and contributions made to any
     other plan maintained by the Employing Companies or to
