ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT 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 December 31,
1999, the Company owned and operated approximately 786,000 washers and dryers in
over 75,000  locations on routes  throughout the United States and in 181 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  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.

         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  $33.7 million for the
nine months ended  December 31, 1999 and $28.5 million for the nine months ended
December 31, 1998); (ii) operating, maintaining and servicing retail laundromats
(approximately  $15.2  million for the nine months  ended  December 31, 1999 and
$14.9 million for the nine months ended  December 31,  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  $10.2  million for the nine months
ended  December 31, 1999 and $8.1 million for the nine months ended December 31,
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 nine month  periods  ended  December  31,  1999 and
December 31, 1998

         Revenues  increased by  approximately  $20.7 million or 6% for the nine
month  period  ended  December  31,  1999,  as  compared  to  the  prior  year's
corresponding  period.  The improvement in revenues for the nine month period is
attributable  primarily to (i) increased route revenues  resulting from internal
expansion in an  approximate  amount of $13.1 million  despite an estimated $1.5
million  reduction  in revenue  in the south  central  region  due to  increased
vandalism;  (ii) increased revenues generated from the distribution  business in
an approximate  amount of $5.2 million;  and (iii) increased  revenues generated
from the rental  business in an  approximate  amount of $2.1  million.  Revenues
remained  unchanged  for the three month  period ended  December  31,  1999,  as
compared  to  the  prior  year's  corresponding  period,  due  primarily  to  an
improvement  in route  revenues  which was offset by increased  vandalism in the
south central region, a decrease in distribution  revenues of approximately $1.1
million  and a decrease in retail  laundromat  revenues  of  approximately  $0.5
million.

         Laundry operating expenses increased by approximately 2% and 6% for the
three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1999, respectively,  as compared
to the prior year's  corresponding  periods.  This increase was due primarily to
(i) an increase in  commission  expense and  operating  expenses  related to the
improvements in route revenues;  (ii) cost of sales related to increased  volume
in the  distribution  business;  and (iii) an increase  in  expenses  related to
growth in the rental business.  As a percentage of revenues,  laundry  operating
expenses have remained  relatively constant at approximately 66% for each of the
three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998.

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

         General and  administrative  expenses  increased slightly for the three
and nine month periods ended  December 31, 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 nine month periods ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998.

         Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately 7% and
9% for the three and nine month periods ended  December 31, 1999,  respectively,
as compared to the prior  year's  corresponding  periods,  due to an increase in
capital  expenditures with respect to the Company's  installed base of machines.
The  increase  for the  nine  month  period  ended  December  31,  1999 was also
attributable to contract rights and goodwill associated with the above-mentioned
acquisitions.

         Operating income margins were approximately 7.8% and 9.0% for the three
and nine month  periods ended  December 31, 1999,  as compared to  approximately
10.6% and 10.0% for the three and nine month  periods  ended  December 31, 1998.
This change was  primarily  due to increases in  depreciation  and  amortization
expense noted above.

         Interest  expense,  net, for the three month period ended  December 31,
1999, remained relatively consistent with the prior year's corresponding period.
Interest expense,  net,  increased by approximately 3% for the nine month period
ended December 31, 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 for the nine month period ended December
31,  1999  remained  relatively  constant  with the prior  year's  corresponding
period.

         EBITDA  (earnings  before   deductions  for  interest,   income  taxes,
depreciation and  amortization)  before  deduction for stock-based  compensation
charges was approximately  $127.1 million for the nine months ended December 31,
1999, as compared to approximately  $122.3 million for the corresponding  period
in 1998,  representing  an  improvement  of  approximately  4%. The  increase is
primarily the result of increased  revenues,  as discussed above. EBITDA margins
remained  constant at approximately  32% for both the nine months ended December
31,  1999 and  December  31,  1998.  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.

           CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


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

         The Company continues to have substantial indebtedness and debt service
requirements.  At December 31, 1999, the Company had outstanding  long-term debt
(excluding  the  unamortized  premium  on  the  Senior  Notes  in an  amount  of
approximately  $7.1 million) of approximately  $693.8 million and  stockholder's
deficit of approximately $26.1 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 nine
months ended December 31, 1999 were approximately $66.7 million. Of such amount,
the Company spent approximately $19.6 million related to the net increase in the
installed  base of machines of  approximately  21,000  machines.  The balance of
approximately  $47.1 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.

           CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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  $91.3  million for the nine months ended  December 31, 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.

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


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

         The "year 2000" or "Y2K"  problem  was the result of computer  programs
being written using two digits rather than four to define the  applicable  year.
As a  consequence,  computer  programs  that  had  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 was managed by a team
of internal staff and outside  consultants.  The team's activities were designed
to ensure  that  there was no  adverse  effect on the  Company's  core  business
operations  and  that  transactions  with  customers,  suppliers  and  financial
institutions  were  fully  supported.   The  Company  has  not  experienced  any
significant  disruptions in any of its systems on January 1, 2000 or at any time
through the date of this report.  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.

         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 completed its IT systems transformation and believes its
IT and non-IT systems to be compliant.

         In addition, as part of its year 2000 initiative, the Company contacted
its significant  suppliers,  customers and financial institutions to ensure that
those parties had  appropriate  plans to remediate  year 2000 issues where their
systems interface with the Company's systems or otherwise impact its operations.
The Company  assessed the extent to which its operations were vulnerable  should
those  organizations  fail to properly address their year 2000 readiness.  As of
the date of this report, the computer systems of those operations have not had a
material adverse effect on the Company's  operations.  The Company will continue
to contact its significant  suppliers,  customers and financial  institutions to
monitor and confirm  that those  parties  are not  anticipating  any further Y2K
contingencies during the remainder of the year.

         While the  Company  believes  its  planning  efforts  were  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 were  converted  on a timely basis and will not have a material
adverse effect on the operations of the Company.


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.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE
          ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company's  principal  exposure to market risk relates to changes in
interest rates on its  borrowings.  The Company has not experienced any material
changes in reported market risks related to its borrowings since March 31, 1999,
the end of its most recent fiscal year.

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.  An amended complaint was filed on December 10, 1999 seeking damages in
unspecified  amounts.   Although  the  outcome  of  this  proceeding  cannot  be
predicted,  based on the allegations contained in the complaint and consultation
with the  Company's  insurance  carrier,  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.

          On November 18, 1999, K. Reed Hinrichs v. Stephen R. Kerrigan, et al.,
a purported class action  lawsuit,  was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery,
Newcastle  County  naming the Company and certain of its  executive  officers as
defendants.  Plaintiffs allege that the defendants are breaching their fiduciary
duty to the Company's public  shareholders by selling the Company for inadequate
compensation.  The  matter  has been  stayed by  agreement  of the  parties.  On
February 3, 2000, GRKC Holding Company,  LLC, whose acquisition proposal was the
subject of the lawsuit,  withdrew its proposal to acquire the  Company's  common
stock. Based on the allegations contained in the complaint and the withdrawal of
the acquisition  proposal,  management believes that this 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.

ITEM 5.   Other Information

         On February 3, 2000, GRKC Holding Company, LLC announced the withdrawal
of its proposal to acquire the common  stock of Coinmach  Laundry for $13.00 per
share in cash,  due to an inability to reach an  agreement  with an  independent
committee  of the  Coinmach  Laundry's  board of  directors.  The  proposal  was
originally  presented to the board of  directors of Coinmach  Laundry in October
1999.
