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

         Except for the historical information contained herein, certain matters
discussed in this document are forward-looking statements based on the beliefs
of the Company's management as of the date of this report and are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties discussed
below, as well as other risks set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended March 31, 1999. Should these risks or uncertainties
materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's
future performance and actual results of operations may differ materially from
those expected or intended.

General
- -------

         The Company is principally engaged in the business of supplying
outsourced laundry services for multi-family housing properties. At September
30, 1999, the Company owned and operated approximately 781,000 washers and
dryers in approximately 75,000 locations on routes throughout the United States
and in 172 retail laundromats located throughout Texas and Arizona. The Company,
through Super Laundry, its wholly-owned subsidiary, is also a laundromat
equipment distribution company. The Company also leases laundry machines and
other household appliances to corporate relocation entities, property owners,
managers of multi-family housing properties and individuals.

         The Company's primary financial objective is to increase its cash flow
from operations. Cash flow from operations represents a source of funds
available to service indebtedness and for investment in both internal growth and
growth through acquisitions. The Company has experienced net losses during the
past three fiscal years. Such net losses are attributable in part to significant
non-cash charges associated with the Company's execution of its
acquisition-related growth strategy, namely, high levels of amortization of
contract rights and goodwill related to the addition of new machines and
customers through acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.

         The Company's most significant revenue source is its route business,
accounting for more than 85% of its revenue. The Company provides outsourced
laundry 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 machine maintenance and revenue collection in the route business,
including payroll, parts, insurance and other related expenses, 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.

General (continued)
- -------

         Other revenue sources for the Company include: (i) 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 $19.6 million for the
six months ended September 30, 1999 and $14.5 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1998); (ii) operating, maintaining and servicing retail
laundromats (approximately $10.2 million for the six months ended September 30,
1999 and $9.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 1998); and (iii)
leasing laundry equipment and other household appliances and electronic items to
corporate relocation entities, property owners, managers of multi-family housing
properties and individuals (approximately $6.7 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1999 and $5.2 million for the six months ended September 30,
1998).

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 for its fiscal year
ended March 31, 1999.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

         Revenues increased by approximately $5.1 million or 4% for the three
month period ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the prior year's
corresponding period. Revenues increased by approximately $20.7 million or 9%
for the six month period ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the prior
year's corresponding period. These improvements 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 $8.7 million of
its revenue increase for the current six-month period is primarily due to the
acquisition of Cleanco, Inc. and certain of its affiliates in May 1998 and the
acquisition of Gordon & Thomas Companies, Inc. in June 1998. In addition, during
the current six-month period, the Company's installed machine based increased by
approximately 16,000 machines from internal growth as compared to an increase of
approximately 15,600 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 5% and 9% for the
three and six month periods ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the prior
year's corresponding periods. This increase was due primarily to an increase in
commission expense related to the improvements in revenues. As a percentage of
revenues, laundry operating expenses have remained relatively consistent at
approximately 66% for each of the three and six month periods ended September
30, 1999 and September 30, 1998.

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

Results of Operations (continued)
- ---------------------

         General and administrative expenses increased slightly for the three
and six month periods ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the prior year's
corresponding periods. However, as a percentage of revenues, general and
administrative expenses remained constant at approximately 1.6% for each of the
three and six month periods ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998.

         Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately 8% and 10% for
the three month and six month periods ended September 30, 1999, as compared to
the prior year's corresponding periods, due primarily to 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.

         Operating income margins were approximately 8.4% and 9.5% for the three
and six month periods ended September 30, 1999, as compared to approximately
9.8% and 9.7% for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1998. This
change was primarily due to increases in depreciation expense noted above.

         Interest expense, net, for the three month period ended September 30,
1999, remained relatively consistent with the prior year's corresponding period.
Interest expense, net, increased by approximately 4% for the six month period
ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the prior year's corresponding
period, due primarily to increased borrowing levels under the Amended and
Restated Credit Facility in connection with certain acquisitions mentioned
above.

         The effective tax benefit rate decreased to approximately 15% for the
six month period ended September 30, 1999 from approximately 25% for the prior
year's corresponding period. The lower effective tax benefit rate is the result
of the greater impact that non-deductible amortization, which has remained
constant, has when added back to losses before income taxes, which are lower
than in corresponding periods.

         EBITDA (earnings before deductions for interest, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization) before deduction for stock-based compensation
charges was approximately $86.0 million for the six months ended September 30,
1999, as compared to approximately $79.3 million for the corresponding period in
1998, representing an improvement of approximately 8%. EBITDA margins remained
consistent at approximately 32.6% for both the six months ended September 30,
1999 and September 30, 1998. This increase is primarily the result of increased
revenues, as discussed above. 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 expenditure 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.

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         The Company continues to have substantial indebtedness and debt service
requirements. At September 30, 1999, the Company had outstanding long-term debt
(excluding the unamortized premium on the Senior Notes in an amount of
approximately $7.4 million) of approximately $682.2 million and stockholder's
deficit of approximately $21.2 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 restrictive 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 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 six
months ended September 30, 1999 were approximately $44.8 million. Of such
amount, the Company spent approximately $13.9 million related to the net
increase in the installed base of machines of approximately 16,000 machines. The
balance of approximately $30.9 million (which consists of machine expenditures,
advance location payments and laundry room improvements) was used to maintain
the existing machine base in current locations, to replace 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, Coinmach is required to make monthly cash interest payments as
required by the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and semi-annual cash
interest payments on the Senior Notes.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)
- -------------------------------

         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 under the indenture governing the Senior Notes could, in either
case, 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 or on terms permitted under the
Amended and Restated Credit Facility or the indenture governing the Senior
Notes.

         The Company's depreciation and amortization expenses (aggregating
approximately $60.6 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999) 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 a
period of 15 years.

         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 or effectively manage the integration of acquired businesses into its
existing business. Additionally, the Company expects to utilize excess cash
flows from operations primarily to reduce debt.

Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

         The "year 2000" or "Y2K" problem is the result of computer programs
being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year.
As a consequence, computer programs that have time-sensitive software may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. The
Company's comprehensive year 2000 initiative is being managed by a team of
internal staff and outside consultants. The team's activities are designed to
ensure that there is no adverse effect on the Company's core business operations
and that transactions with customers, suppliers and financial institutions are
fully supported.

         During the 1999 Fiscal Year, the Company assessed the year 2000
readiness of its information technology ("IT") and non-IT systems. The Company
determined that it needed to modify significant portions of its IT systems so
that such systems would function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000
and beyond. The Company has substantially completed its IT systems
transformation and is currently verifying the year 2000 compliance of these
systems.

         In addition, as part of its year 2000 initiative, the Company has
contacted its significant suppliers, customers and financial institutions 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. The Company is continuing to assess the extent to which its
operations are vulnerable should those organizations fail to properly address
their year 2000 readiness. Based on this review, the Company does not expect the
computer systems of those operations to have a material adverse effect on the
Company's operations.

         While the Company believes its planning efforts are adequate to address
the year 2000 issue, there can be no guarantee that its computer systems or the
computer systems of other companies on which the Company's systems and
operations rely will be converted on a timely basis and will not have a material
adverse effect on the operations of the Company. The cost of the year 2000
initiative has not been material to the Company's results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows and is not expected to be material in the
foreseeable future.

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 will not be material to the Company. The Company's business
generally is not seasonal.

PART II.          OTHER INFORMATION
                  -----------------

ITEM 1.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On April 8, 1999, Sand v. Coinmach Laundry Corporation, et. al, a
purported class action securities fraud lawsuit, was filed in the Federal
District Court for the Eastern District of New York (the "Federal Securities
Action") naming the Company and certain of its executive officers as defendants.
The Federal Securities Action was purportedly brought on behalf of all
shareholders of the Company who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company's
Common Stock during the period August 6, 1997 to September 29, 1998. The
complaint in the Federal Securities Action alleges violations of various federal
securities laws, including misrepresentations of certain information about the
Company. The complaint in the Federal Securities Action seeks damages in
unspecified amounts. Although the outcome of this proceeding cannot be
predicted, based on the allegations contained in the complaint, management
believes that the Federal Securities Action will not have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company.

         The Company is also party to various legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business. Although the ultimate disposition of such
proceedings is not presently determinable, management does not believe that
adverse determinations in any or all such proceedings would have a material
adverse effect upon the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows
of the Company.
