        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.  Description of Business

         Coinmach  Corporation,  a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),  is the
leading  supplier  of  outsourced  laundry  services  for  multi-family  housing
properties in 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 also leases laundry machines and other household
appliances  to  corporate  relocation  entities,  property  owners,  managers of
multi-family  housing properties and individuals.  The Company owns and operates
approximately  816,000 washers and dryers  (hereinafter  referred to as "laundry
machines" or "machines")  in  approximately  80,000  locations on routes located
throughout the United States and in 183 retail  laundromats  located  throughout
Texas and  Arizona.  The Company,  through its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Super
Laundry  Equipment  Corp.   ("Super   Laundry"),   is  a  laundromat   equipment
distribution  company.  The  Company is a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of Coinmach
Laundry  Corporation,  a  Delaware  Corporation  ("Coinmach  Laundry").   Unless
otherwise  specified  herein,  references  to the  Company  shall mean  Coinmach
Corporation and its subsidiaries.


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 differ from such
estimates.  The interim results presented herein are not necessarily  indicative
of the results to be expected for the entire year.

         As more  fully  described  in Note 4, the  Company's  parent,  Coinmach
Laundry,  in connection with a going-private  transaction  (the  "Transaction"),
completed  a merger on July 13,  2000  with CLC  Acquisition  Corporation  ("CLC
Acquisition"),   a  newly  formed  Delaware  corporation.  The  Transaction  was
accounted  for using the  purchase  method of  accounting  and,  according  to a
practice known as "push down"  accounting,  as of July 1, 2000 (the beginning of
the accounting  period closest to the date on which control was effective),  the
Company adjusted its consolidated assets and liabilities to their estimated fair
values, based on preliminary  independent appraisals,  evaluations,  estimations
and other studies. The purchase price exceeded the fair value of assets acquired
(based on an independent  appraisal for certain assets) less liabilities assumed
by approximately $ 130 million, which was allocated to goodwill.

         References to the "Successor" period refer to the Company subsequent to
the date of the Transaction,  while references to the "Predecessor" period refer
to prior  periods.  As a result of the  Transaction,  the combined  consolidated
financial  statements  for the Successor  are presented on a different  basis of
accounting  than  that for the  Predecessor  and,  therefore,  are not  entirely
comparable.

(UNAUDITED) (continued)


2.  Basis of Presentation (continued)

         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, 2000.


3.  Debt

         At September 30, 2000, the Company had  outstanding  debt consisting of
(a)  approximately  $296.7 million of 11 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Senior
Notes"),  (b) $267.3 million of term loans, and (c) approximately $119.7 million
of a revolving line of credit. The above mentioned term loans and revolving line
of credit  represent  indebtedness  pursuant to the  Company's  existing  credit
facility  (as amended and  restated,  the "Senior  Credit  Facility"),  which is
secured by all of the  Company's  real and personal  property.  Under the Senior
Credit Facility, the Company has pledged to Bankers Trust Company, as Collateral
Agent,  its  interests  in all of the issued and  outstanding  shares of capital
stock of  Coinmach.  In  addition  to certain  terms and  provisions,  events of
default and  customary  representations,  covenants and  agreements,  the Senior
Credit  Facility  contains  certain  restrictive  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 Senior Credit Facility limit Coinmach's ability to pay dividends.


4.  Recent Developments

         On May 12, 2000, the Company's parent,  Coinmach Laundry,  entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with CLC Acquisition, a
newly  formed  Delaware  corporation  formed by Bruce V.  Rauner,  a director of
Coinmach  Laundry and a principal  of the  indirect  general  partner of Golder,
Thoma,  Cressey,  Rauner Fund IV, L.P. ("GTCR Fund IV"), the largest stockholder
of Coinmach Laundry.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CLC Acquisition acquired
all of Coinmach Laundry's  outstanding Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock,
(collectively,  the  "Shares")  for $14.25  per Share in a two-step  transaction
consisting of a tender offer (the "Offer") followed by a merger transaction (the
"Merger) of CLC Acquisition with and into Coinmach Laundry.

         The period  during which Shares could be tendered in the Offer  expired
on July  7,  2000.  Approximately  99% of the  outstanding  Shares  were  either
tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn or  contributed  to CLC  Acquisition  by
certain  members of management of the Company and GTCR Fund IV.  Effective  July
13, 2000, CLC Acquisition was merged with and into Coinmach  Laundry pursuant to
the terms of the  Merger  Agreement.  Each Share not  tendered  in the Offer was
canceled and  converted  into the right to receive an amount equal to $14.25 per
Share in cash, without interest thereon.

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

General

         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 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, 2000. 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.

         The  Company  is  principally  engaged  in the  business  of  supplying
outsourced  laundry services for multi-family  housing  properties.  The Company
also  leases  laundry  machines  and other  household  appliances  to  corporate
relocation   entities,   property  owners,   managers  of  multi-family  housing
properties and individuals. Unless otherwise specified herein, references to the
Company shall mean Coinmach  Corporation and its subsidiaries.  At September 30,
2000, the Company owned and operated approximately 816,000 washers and dryers in
approximately 80,000 locations on routes throughout the United States and in 183
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'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 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 costs 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, property owners, managers of

constructing  complete turnkey retail laundromats,  retrofitting existing retail
laundromats,  distributing  exclusive  lines of  commercial  coin  and  non-coin
operated machines and parts, and selling service contracts  (approximately $21.0
million for the six months ended  September  30, 2000 and $23.8  million for the
six months ended September 30, 1999).

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 the year ended
March 31, 2000.

Comparison of the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2000
  and September 30, 1999

         Revenues  decreased by  approximately  $1.7 million or 1% for the three
month  period  ended  September  30,  2000,  as  compared  to the  prior  year's
corresponding  period.  The decline in revenue for the quarter was due primarily
to  decreased   revenues  of  approximately  $3.1  million  generated  from  the
distribution  business  during the same period.  This decline in revenue for the
quarter was offset  partially  by an increase  in  revenues  generated  from the
rental  business of  approximately  $0.7 million and from the route  business of
approximately $0.6 million.

         Revenues  decreased by  approximately  $1.0 million or less than 1% for
the six-month  period ended  September 30, 2000, as compared to the prior year's
corresponding  period.  The decline in revenue for the six-month  period was due
primarily to decreased  revenues  generated  from the  distribution  business of
approximately  $2.9  million  during the same period.  This  decrease was offset
partially  by an  increase in revenues  for the  quarter of  approximately  $1.8
million generated from the rental business.

         Laundry  operating  expenses  decreased  by  approximately  2% for  the
three-month  period ended  September  30, 2000,  as compared to the prior year's
corresponding period. The decrease in laundry operating expenses for the quarter
was due to a  decrease  in cost of sales  resulting  from  reduced  sales in the
distribution  business.  This decrease in operating  expenses  partially  offset
additional  costs  associated  with the expansion into new markets in the rental
business.

         Laundry operating  expenses increased by less than 1% for the six-month
period ended  September  30, 2000 as compared to the prior year's  corresponding
period.  The increase in laundry operating expenses for the six-month period was
due primarily to costs  associated  with the  expansion  into new markets in the
rental business. As a percentage of revenues, laundry operating expenses were

approximately  66% for each of the three and six-month  periods ended  September
30, 2000 and the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 1999.

         General and  administrative  expenses decreased by approximately 4% for
the three month period ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the prior year's
corresponding   period.   General  and  administrative   expenses  decreased  by
approximately  3% for the six-month period ended September 30, 2000, as compared
to the prior year's corresponding  period. 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, 2000 and September 30, 1999.

         Depreciation  and  amortization  increased by  approximately 5% for the
three-month  period ended  September  30, 2000,  as compared to the prior year's
corresponding period.  Depreciation and amortization  increased by approximately
5% for the six-month  period ended  September 30, 2000, as compared to the prior
year's  corresponding  period.  The  increase  for both the three and  six-month
periods was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures with respect to
the Company's installed base of machines.

         Operating income margins were approximately 7.6% and 7.8% for the three
and  six-month  periods ended  September 30, 2000, as compared to  approximately
8.4% and 9.5% for the three and six- month periods ended September 30, 1999. The
decrease in  operating  income  margin for the three and  six-month  periods was
primarily due to increases in depreciation and amortization expense.

         Interest expense, net, increased by approximately 1% for both the three
and six-month  periods ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the prior year's
corresponding  periods,  primarily because the borrowing levels under the Senior
Credit Facility and other  long-term debt increased  slightly as compared to the
previous periods as well as due to an increase in interest rates.

         EBITDA  (earnings  before   deductions  for  interest,   income  taxes,
depreciation and  amortization)  was  approximately  $41.8 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2000, as compared to approximately  $41.6 million for
the corresponding  period in 1999, representing an increase of approximately 1%.
EBITDA  margins  increased  to  approximately  32.6% for the three  months ended
September  30,  2000,  compared  to  approximately  32.0% for the  prior  year's
corresponding  period.  These  decreases  are  primarily the result of decreased
operating expenses.

         EBITDA  was  approximately  $84.0  million  for  the six  months  ended
September  30,  2000,  as  compared  to  approximately  $85.7  million  for  the
corresponding  period in 1999,  representing  a decrease  of  approximately  2%.
EBITDA  margins  declined  to  approximately  32.0%  for  the six  months  ended
September  30,  2000,  compared  to  approximately  32.5% for the  prior  year's
corresponding  period.  These  decreases  are  primarily the result of increased
operating expenses, 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
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 September 30, 2000, the Company had outstanding long-term debt
(excluding  the   unamortized   premium  of   approximately   $6.2  million)  of
approximately  $689.2 million and  stockholder's  equity of approximately  $34.9
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  services
industry and to economic conditions in general could 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, 2000 of  approximately  $46.6 million (which consists
primarily of machine  expenditures,  advance location  payments and laundry room
improvements)  were  used to  maintain  the  existing  machine  base in  current
locations  and through  replacement  of  discontinued  locations,  growth in the
installed base of machines and for general corporate  purposes.  The full impact
on revenues and cash flow generated from capital expended on the net increase in
the  installed  machine 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 Senior Credit Facility and semi-annual cash interest payments as
required by the 11 3/4% 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 11
3/4% Senior Notes and borrowings  under the Senior Credit  Facility or to permit
any necessary  refinancings  thereof.  An inability of the Company,  however, to
comply with covenants or other conditions  contained in the indentures governing
the 11 3/4% Senior Notes or in the credit agreement evidencing the Senior Credit
Facility 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 or on terms  permitted under the
Senior Credit Facility or the indenture governing the 11 3/4% Senior Notes.

         The  Company's  depreciation  and  amortization  expenses  (aggregating
approximately  $63.6  million for the six months ended  September 30, 2000) 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.

         An integral  component  of the  Company's  business  strategy  has been
growth  through a  combination  of internal  growth and  selective  acquisitions
designed to increase  the  Company's  machine  base and to achieve  economies of
scale,   increase  its   operating   efficiencies   and  improve  its  financial
performance.  While the Company  continues  to expand its machine  base,  at the
present time, the Company  believes that the number of  significant  acquisition
opportunities  is limited due in part to the Company's  successful  execution of
its acquisition strategy over the past several years. Against this background of
limited opportunities for significant acquisitions, and in an effort to preserve
capital and reduce its level of indebtedness, the Company has determined to slow
its  rate  of  growth  by   acquisitions;   however,   the  Company  may  pursue
opportunities  to acquire  additional  route  businesses  within the  fragmented
outsourced  laundry  equipment  services  industry.  There can be no  assurance,
however,  that the Company will be able to take advantage of these opportunities
on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

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 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 Coinmach Laundry,  Golder, Thoma,  Cressey,  Rauner Fund
IV,  L.P.  ("GTCR  Fund IV"),  GTCR  Golder  Rauner,  L.L.C.  and certain of its
executive  officers  as  defendants.  Plaintiffs  allege  that  the  defendants'
proposal to acquire between 80% and 90% of Coinmach  Laundry's  Common Stock for
$13.00 per share was inadequate and that the defendants breached their fiduciary
duty to Coinmach Laundry's public shareholders.  The defendant's time to respond
to the complaint has been adjourned indefinitely by agreement of the parties.

         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 2.           Changes in Securities

                  None.

ITEM 3.           Defaults Upon Senior Securities

ITEM 5.    Other Information

         On May 12, 2000, the Company's parent,  Coinmach Laundry,  entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger  Agreement")  with CLC  Acquisition
Corporation ("CLC  Acquisition"),  a newly formed Delaware corporation formed by
Bruce V. Rauner,  a director of Coinmach Laundry and a principal of the indirect
general  partner of Golder,  Thoma,  Cressey,  Rauner Fund IV, L.P.  ("GTCR Fund
IV"),  the  largest  stockholder  of  Coinmach  Laundry.  Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, CLC Acquisition acquired all of Coinmach Laundry's outstanding Common
Stock and Non-Voting  Common Stock  (collectively,  the "Shares") for $14.25 per
Share in a two-step  transaction  consisting  of a tender  offer  (the  "Offer")
followed by a merger transaction (the "Merger") of CLC Acquisition with and into
Coinmach Laundry.

         The period  during which Shares could be tendered in the Offer  expired
on July  7,  2000.  Approximately  99% of the  outstanding  Shares  were  either
tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn or  contributed  to CLC  Acquisition  by
certain  members of management of the Company and GTCR Fund IV.  Effective  July
13, 2000, CLC Acquisition was merged with and into Coinmach  Laundry pursuant to
the terms of the  Merger  Agreement.  Each share not  tendered  in the Offer was
cancelled and converted  into the right to receive an amount equal to $14.25 per
Share in cash, without interest thereon.
