housing  properties  throughout the United  States.  The Company's core 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  755,000 washers and dryers in  approximately  75,000 locations on

of Coinmach Laundry Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Coinmach Laundry").

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  in the  financial  statements.  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 the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1998.

         Certain prior year's  balances have been  reclassified  to conform with
the current period presentation.

3. Comprehensive Income

         On April 1, 1998, the Company adopted  Financial  Accounting  Standards
Board  ("FASB")  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 130
"Reporting  Comprehensive  Income." SFAS No. 130  establishes  new rules for the
reporting and display of comprehensive  income and its components;  however, the
adoption  of  SFAS  No.  130  had  no  impact  on  the  Company's  net  loss  or
stockholders'  equity.  The Company did not have any  elements of  comprehensive
income which would be required to be included in its  financial  statements  for
the periods presented.

4. Long-term Debt

         At  December  31,  1998,  the Company had  outstanding  long-term  debt
consisting of (a) approximately  $296.7 million of 11 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005
(the  "Senior  Notes")  and (b) $272.5  million of term loans and  approximately
$116.0 million of a revolving line of credit under the Company's existing credit
facility (the "Amended and Restated Credit  Facility").  Indebtedness  under the
Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by all of the Company's real and
personal  property.  Coinmach Laundry has guaranteed the indebtedness  under the
Amended and Restated  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 the  Company.  In  addition to certain  terms and  provisions,
events of default,  and  customary  restrictive  covenants and  agreements,  the
Amended and Restated  Credit  Facility  contains  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 indenture governing the Senior Notes and
the Amended and Restated  Credit  Facility  limit the  Company's  ability to pay
dividends.

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

         Except  for  the  historical   information  contained  herein,  certain
information contained and matters discussed in this document are forward-looking
statements  based on the beliefs of the Company's  management and are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties  described herein and contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1998. Should these risks
or uncertainties materialize,  or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
the Company's  future  performance  and actual  results of  operations  may vary
materially from those expected or intended.

General

         The  Company  is  principally  engaged  in the  business  of  supplying
outsourced laundry equipment services to multi-family  housing  properties.  The
Company  owns  and  operates   approximately   755,000  washers  and  dryers  in
approximately  75,000  multi-family  housing properties on routes throughout the
United States and 162 retail laundromats located throughout Texas and Arizona.

         The Company provides outsourced 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 costs of servicing and collecting
in the route business,  including,  payroll,  parts,  vehicles and other related
items, the cost of sales associated with the equipment distribution business 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  location  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,  individual  property  owners and managers of multi-family
housing  properties  (approximately  $8.1  million  for the  nine  months  ended
December  31, 1998 and  approximately  $2.2  million  for the nine months  ended
December 26, 1997); (ii) operating, maintaining and servicing retail laundromats
(approximately  $14.9  million for the nine months  ended  December 31, 1998 and
approximately  $15.9 million for the nine months ended  December 26, 1997);  and
(iii)  constructing  complete turnkey retail  laundromats,  retrofitting  retail
laundromats,  distributing  exclusive  lines of  commercial  coin  and  non-coin
operated machines and parts, and selling service contracts  (approximately $27.5
million for the nine months  ended  December  31, 1998 and  approximately  $18.9
million for the nine months ended December 26, 1997).

ITEM 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Results of Operations

         The  following  discussion  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
and with the  Company's  audited  consolidated  financial  statements  and notes
thereto  included in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the
year ended March 31, 1998.

Comparison  of the three and nine month  periods  ended  December  31,  1998 and
December 26, 1997

         Revenues  increased  by  approximately  62% for both the three and nine
months ended  December 31, 1998,  as compared to the prior year's  corresponding
periods.  This  improvement  in revenues  resulted  primarily from the Company's
execution of its  acquisition  strategy and increased  route revenues  resulting
from  internal   expansion.   Based  on  the  historical  revenues  of  acquired
businesses,  the Company  estimates  that  approximately  $127.6  million of its
revenue  increase  for the current  nine month  period is  primarily  due to the
National Coin  Acquisition  (as defined) in July 1997, the ALI  Acquisition  (as
defined) in January 1998, the Macke  Acquisition (as defined) in March 1998, the
Cleanco  Acquisition  (as  defined)  in May  1998  and the G&T  Acquisition  (as
defined) in June 1998. In addition,  during the current nine month  period,  the
Company's installed machine base increased by approximately 18,000 machines from
internal growth  (excluding the machines added from the Cleanco  Acquisition and
the  G&T  Acquisition  during  such  period)  as  compared  to  an  increase  of
approximately  16,700  machines  during the prior year's  corresponding  period.
Included in internal growth are acquisitions of small, local route operators and
new customers secured by the Company's sales force.

         Laundry operating  expenses increased by approximately 59% for both the
three and nine month periods  ended  December 31, 1998, as compared to the prior
year's  corresponding  periods. The increase was due primarily to an increase in
laundry  operating  expenses  (primarily  commission  expense)  related  to  the
National Coin  Acquisition,  the ALI  Acquisition,  the Macke  Acquisition,  the
Cleanco  Acquisition  and the  G&T  Acquisition.  However,  as a  percentage  of
revenue,  laundry operating expenses were 65.6% for the three month period ended
December 31, 1998 and 65.7% for the nine month period ended December 31, 1998 as
compared to 66.8% for the three month period  ended  December 26, 1997 and 66.9%
for the nine month period ended December 26, 1997.

         General and  administrative  expenses  increased by approximately  $0.4
million for the three month period ended December 31, 1998 and by  approximately
$1.4 million for the nine month period ended  December 31, 1998,  as compared to
the prior year's corresponding periods. The increase for such periods was due to
various costs and expenses  related to (i) the Company's  acquisition  strategy,
including  systems  development  and refinement  relating to the  integration of
prior  acquisitions,  and (ii) accounting,  management  information  systems and
other administrative functions associated with the Company's growth. However, as
a percentage of revenues,  general and administrative expenses were 1.5% for the
three month period ended  December 31, 1998 and 1.6% for nine month period ended
December  31,  1998,   as  compared  to  2.0%  for  each  of  the  prior  year's
corresponding periods.

ITEM 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Results of Operations (continued)

         Depreciation and amortization  expenses  increased by approximately 61%
for the three month period ended December 31, 1998 and by approximately  60% for
the nine month period ended  December 31, 1998,  as compared to the prior year's
corresponding  periods,  due  primarily  to the  contract  rights  and  goodwill
associated  with the  above-mentioned  acquisitions,  as well as an  increase in
capital expenditures with respect to the Company's installed base of machines.

         During 1996 and 1997,  Coinmach  Laundry  granted to certain members of
management  of the Company and certain  other  individuals  non-qualified  stock
options to purchase  shares of CLC Common Stock at an exercise  price of $11.90.
With respect to such options granted to its employees,  the Company records such
discount as a  stock-based  compensation  charge over the  applicable  four year
vesting period. On May 4, 1998, the Company granted to certain employees 248,500
non-qualified  stock  options  pursuant to the Stock  Option Plan at an exercise
price of $22.30938 per share.

         Such options vest in equal annual installments (20% vest immediately on
June 10,  1998 and the  remainder  vest over a four year  period).  The  Company
records the  difference  between the exercise price of such options and the fair
market  value of the Common Stock on May 4, 1998 as a  stock-based  compensation
charge over the  applicable  four year  vesting  period.  During the nine months
ended December 31, 1998, the Company recorded a stock-based  compensation charge
relating  to these  options of  approximately  $915,000.  During the nine months
ended December 26, 1997, the Company recorded a stock-based  compensation charge
relating to these options of approximately $820,000.

         Operating income margins were  approximately  10.6% for the three month
period ended December 31, 1998, as compared to approximately  8.5% for the three
month  period  ended   December  26,  1997.   Operating   income   margins  were
approximately  10.0% for the nine month  period  ended  December  31,  1998,  as
compared to  approximately  8.0% for the nine month  period  ended  December 26,
1997.

         Interest  expense,  net,  increased by approximately  50% for the three
month period ended December 31, 1998 and by approximatley 53% for the nine month
period ended  December 31, 1998,  as compared to the prior year's  corresponding
periods  due  primarily  to  increased  borrowing  levels  under the Amended and
Restated  Credit Facility in connection  with certain  acquisitions,  as well as
increased  interest  expense due to the  offering by the Company of $100 million
aggregate principal amount of 11 3/4 Series C Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Series
C Notes") in October 1997.

         EBITDA  (earnings  before   deductions  for  interest,   income  taxes,
depreciation and  amortization),  before deduction for stock-based  compensation
charges was approximately  $122.3 million for the nine months ended December 31,
1998, as compared to approximately $71.8 million for the corresponding period in
1997,  representing an improvement of approximately 70%. EBITDA margins improved
to approximately  32.9% for the nine months ended December 31, 1998, compared to
approximately 31.2% for the prior year's corresponding period. EBITDA is used by
certain investors as an indicator of a company's  historical  ability to service
debt. Management believes that

an increase in EBITDA is an  indication  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 (a)
operating   income  (as  determined  by  GAAP)  as  an  indicator  of  operating
performance or (b) 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company continues to have substantial indebtedness and debt service
requirements.  At December 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding  long-term debt
(excluding  the premium on the Series C Notes) of  approximately  $690.3 million
and stockholder's deficit of approximately $11.7 million.

         The Company's level of indebtedness will have several important effects
on its future operations,  including,  but not limited to, the following:  (a) a
significant  portion of the Company's cash flow from operations will be required
to pay interest on its indebtedness;  (b) the financial  covenants  contained in
certain of the agreements governing the Company's  indebtedness will require the
Company  to meet  certain  financial  tests and may limit its  ability to borrow
additional  funds or to dispose of assets;  (c) 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  (d)  the
Company's  ability  to adapt to  changes  in the  outsourced  laundry  equipment
services industry and to economic conditions in general will be limited.

         As the Company has focused on increasing  its cash flow from  operating
activities, it has made significant capital investments, primarily consisting of
capital  expenditures  related to acquisitions,  renewal and growth. 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 nine
months ended  December 31, 1998,  were  approximately  $151.5  million.  Of such
amount, the Company spent approximately $89.6 million in acquisition and related
transaction  costs,  primarily  due to  the  Cleanco  Acquisition  and  the  G&T
Acquisition,  and approximately $17.4 million related to the net increase in the
installed  base of machines of  approximately  18,000  machines.  The balance of
approximately  $44.5 million (which  consists of machine  expenditures,  advance
location  payments  and laundry  room  improvements)  was used to  maintain  the
existing  machine  base  in  current   locations  and  through   replacement  of
discontinued  locations and for general corporate  purposes.  The full impact on
revenues and cash flow 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,  depending on
certain factors, including the timing of the capital expended. 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'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,  the Company is required to make monthly cash interest payments as
required  by the Amended and  Restated  Credit  Facility  and  semi-annual  cash
interest payments on its 11 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005.

         Management believes that the Company's future operating activities will
generate sufficient cash flow to repay indebtedness outstanding under the Senior
Notes and borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility or to permit
any necessary  refinancings  thereof.  An inability of the Company,  however, to
comply with covenants or other  conditions under the Amended and Restated Credit
Facility or contained in the  indenture  governing the Senior Notes could result
in an acceleration  of all 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,  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
Amended and Restated  Credit  Facility or the  indentures  governing  the Senior
Notes.

         The  Company's  depreciation  and  amortization  expenses  (aggregating
approximately  $83.9  million for the nine months ended  December 31, 1998) have
the effect of reducing net income but not  operating  cash flow.  In  accordance
with GAAP, a significant amount of the purchase price of businesses  acquired by
the Company is allocated to "contract  rights",  which costs are amortized  over
periods of 15 years.

         Summary of Recent Acquisitions

         On July 17,  1997,  Coinmach  completed  the  acquisition  of  National
Laundry Equipment Company, Whitmer Vend-O-Mat Laundry Services, Inc. and certain
other  related  parties  (the  "National  Coin  Acquisition")  for an  aggregate
purchase price of approximately $19 million, excluding transaction expenses. The
National  Coin  Acquisition,  which was financed  through  borrowings  under the
Company's then existing credit  facility,  enabled the Company to further expand
its operations by providing 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.

         On January 15, 1998,  Coinmach  completed the  acquisition of the route
business  of  Apartment  Laundries,  Inc.  ("ALI")  pursuant  to which  Coinmach
acquired substantially all the assets of ALI for a

cash purchase price of $16.2 million,  excluding  transaction expenses (the "ALI
Acquisition").  The ALI  Acquisition  was financed  through  working capital and
borrowings  under the Company's  then  existing  credit  facility.  ALI provided
outsourced  laundry  equipment  services  for  multi-family   housing  units  in
Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Arkansas.

         On March 2, 1998,  Coinmach  completed the acquisition of Macke Laundry
Service,  L.P. and  substantially  all of the assets of certain related entities
(collectively, "Macke") for a cash purchase price of approximately $213 million,
excluding transaction expenses (the "Macke Acquisition").  The Macke Acquisition
was financed  with cash and  borrowings  under the Amended and  Restated  Credit
Facility,  which was amended and restated in connection with such acquisition to
provide for additional  borrowing  capacity on substantially  similar terms. The
Macke Acquisition  enabled the Company to further expand its route operations by
providing   outsourced  laundry  equipment  services  to  multi-family   housing
properties throughout the United States and added approximately 236,000 machines
to the Company's base.

         On May 19, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Cleanco, Inc.
and  certain  of  its  affiliates  ("Cleanco")  for a  cash  purchase  price  of
approximately  $23.0  million,  excluding  transaction  expenses  (the  "Cleanco
Acquisition"),  financed with cash and borrowings under the Amended and Restated
Credit  Facility.  Cleanco,  headquartered  in  Miami,  Florida,  was a  leading
provider of  outsourced  laundry  equipment  services in southern  Florida.  The
Cleanco  Acquisition  added  approximately  21,000  machines  to  the  Company's
installed base.

         On June 5, 1998,  the Company  completed  the  acquisition  of Gordon &
Thomas  Companies,  Inc. ("G&T") for a cash purchase price of approximately  $58
million,   excluding   transaction   expenses  and  the  assumption  of  certain
liabilities (the "G&T Acquisition"). This transaction was financed with cash and
borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. G&T, headquartered in
New Jersey,  was a leading provider of outsourced  laundry equipment services in
the New York metropolitan  area. The G&T Acquisition  strengthened the Company's
presence  in the  northeastern  United  States  by adding  approximately  36,000
machines to the Company's installed base.

         On May 19,  1998,  Coinmach  completed  the  Cleanco  Acquisition.  The
Cleanco  Acquisition was financed with cash and borrowings under the Amended and
Restated  Credit  Facility.  Cleanco,  headquartered  in Miami,  Florida,  was a
leading provider of outsourced  laundry equipment  services in southern Florida.
The Cleanco  Acquisition  added  approximately  21,000 machines to the Company's
installed base.

         On June 5,  1998,  Coinmach  completed  the G&T  Acquisition  which was
financed  with  cash and  borrowings  under  the  Amended  and  Restated  Credit
Facility. G&T, headquartered in New Jersey, was a leading provider of outsourced
laundry  equipment   services  in  the  New  York  metropolitan  area.  The  G&T
Acquisition  strengthened  the  Company's  presence in the  northeastern  United
States by adding approximately 36,000 machines to the Company's installed base.

         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,  successfully  complete such transactions or effectively  manage the
integration of acquired businesses into its existing business.

Year 2000

         The Company has undertaken a comprehensive Year 2000 initiative managed
by a team  consisting of internal staff and outside  consultants.  The Year 2000
initiative has involved an extensive review of the Company's information systems
and an assessment of the compliance  status of customers,  suppliers and lenders
with whom the Company has a significant  relationship.  The Company  anticipates
its information systems will be substantially Year 2000 compliant by the fall of
1999.

                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Year 2000 (continued)

         The Company has  contacted  its  significant  customers,  suppliers and
lenders to ensure that those parties have  appropriate  plans to remediate  Year
2000  issues  where  their  systems  interface  with the  Company's  systems  or
otherwise  impact its operations.  Based on its evaluations to date, the Company
believes that it will not be materially  impacted by Year 2000 problems  arising
from its relationships with customers,  suppliers and lenders.  During 1999, the
Company will  continue to assess the Year 2000  compliance  of these parties and
will develop  contingency  plans should it appear that these parties will not be
adequately  prepared  to address  Year 2000  problems  that could  significantly
impact the Company's operations.

         As of December 31, 1998,  costs  incurred in connection  with Year 2000
compliance  have not been material.  The Company  anticipates  that future costs
associated  with the Year 2000  initiative will not be material to the Company's
results of operation or financial condition.

         The Company believes it is devoting  appropriate  resources to the Year
2000 issue and that its internal  systems will be  adequately  prepared for Year
2000  processing.  While there can be no  assurance  of third party  compliance,
based on the  analysis  performed  to date,  the  Company  believes  that it has
resolved or has adequately  addressed all identified Year 2000 issues. While the
Company  believes  its  planning  efforts  are  adequate  to  address  Year 2000
concerns,  there can be no  assurance  that all such Year 2000  issues have been
adequately identified and addressed,  and actual results could differ materially
from those  planned or  anticipated.  The Company will  continue to monitor Year
2000 readiness and to develop appropriate responses should they be required.

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 does not exhibit material seasonality fluctuations.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.           Legal Proceedings

         From time to time, the Company has been, and expects to continue to be,
subject to legal  proceedings and claims 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 financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
