              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     American Coin Merchandising, Inc., d/b/a Sugarloaf Creations, Inc. and
American Coin Merchandising Trust I (the "Company") and its franchisees own and
operate coin-operated skill-crane machines ("Shoppes") that dispense stuffed
animals, plush toys, watches, jewelry and other items. The Company's Shoppes are
placed in supermarkets, mass merchandisers, bowling centers, truck stops, bingo
halls, bars, restaurants, warehouse clubs and similar locations. The Company
also operates bulk vending equipment, kiddie rides and video equipment that are
located primarily in supermarkets and mass merchandisers. At June 30, 1999, the
Company had 41 field offices with operations in 41 states and there were 12
Company franchisees operating in 16 territories.

     The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform
to the June 30, 1999 presentation. Although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is
suggested that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in
connection with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

     In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying consolidated condensed
financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals and adjustments) required to present fairly the Company's financial
position at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the results of their
operations for each of the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1999
and 1998, and the cash flows for each of the six month periods then ended.

     The operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1999.

average number of common shares outstanding during the period and by all
dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period, respectively.
The weighted average number of shares used in the computation of basic (loss)
earnings per share were 6,475,069 and 6,468,760 for the three months ended June
30, 1999 and 1998 and 6,475,069 and 6,463,025 for the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively. The weighted average number of shares used in the
computation of diluted earnings per share were 6,475,069, as including potential
common shares is anti-dilutive, and 6,678,106 for the three months ended June
30, 1999 and 1998 and 6,481,354 and 6,663,652 for the six months ended June 30,

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

Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The
Company's actual results could differ materially from those discussed here.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to, those discussed in this section and the Company's Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1998.

GENERAL

     Substantially all of the Company's revenue and gross profit is derived from
Company-owned Shoppes. The Company's revenue and gross profit in a particular
period is directly related to the number of Shoppes in operation during the
period. Management believes that the Company's business is somewhat seasonal,
with average revenue per machine per week greater during the Easter and
Christmas periods. Vending revenue represents cash receipts from customers using
vending machines and is recognized when collected. The cost of vending revenue
is comprised of the cost of vended product, location commissions, depreciation
and direct service cost.

     Franchise and other revenue represents the Company's percentage of gross
vending revenue generated by Shoppes owned and operated by franchisees, as well
as product sold to franchisees. Product sold to the franchisees consists of
goods to vend in Shoppes. Equipment sales to the franchisees have been done on a
pass-through basis from the Company's main suppliers. The Company anticipates
that franchise and other revenue will increase in the future as a result of the
sale of product to non-franchisee customers.

REVENUE

     Total revenue for the first six months of 1999 increased 49.5% to $59.4
million from $39.7 million for the same period in 1998. For the second quarter
of 1999, total revenue increased 44.3% to $30.2 million as compared to $21.0
million for the same period in 1998.

     Vending revenue increased $18.9 million or 50.0% for the first six months
of 1999 to $56.6 million from $37.7 million for the comparable period in 1998,
primarily as a result of a 53.3% increase in the average number of Shoppes in
place during the first six months of 1999 compared to the average number in
place during the same period in 1998. For the second quarter of 1999, vending
revenue increased $8.7 million or 43.3 % to $ 28.8 million as compared to the
same period in 1998. The average number of machines in place during the second
quarter of 1999 increased by 44.8% as compared to the second quarter of 1998.

     The Company has recently experienced substantial revenue growth, however,
there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to grow at historical
rates or at all. The Company's ability to generate increased revenue and achieve
higher levels of profitability will depend upon its ability and the ability of
its franchisees to place additional Shoppes as well as to maintain or increase
the average financial performance of the Shoppes. The Company's ability to place
additional Shoppes depends on a number of factors beyond the Company's control,
including general business and economic conditions. Installation of additional
Shoppes will also depend, in part, upon the Company's ability to secure
additional national and regional supermarket, mass merchandiser and restaurant
chain accounts and to obtain approval to place additional Shoppes in individual
locations of such accounts. The Company, its franchisees and their suppliers
also may be unable to place and adequately service additional Shoppes.

     The Company has recently completed a number of acquisitions (15
acquisitions since June 1, 1996, including ten acquisitions since October 1,
1997). For example, the Company's results were effected by the interest expense
and amortization of goodwill related to the acquisitions completed in the second
half of 1998. The Company's results were also affected by the costs associated
with the integration of operational and administrative functions. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to integrate the businesses it has
acquired successfully or in a timely manner in accordance with its strategic
objectives. Failure to effectively and efficiently integrate acquired businesses
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

     Franchise and other revenue increased $809,000 or 40.2% to $2.8 million for
the first six months of 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998 due to an
increase in product sales to non-franchisees offset by lower product and machine
sales and franchise royalties from franchisees due to the acquisition of
franchisees by the Company. For the second quarter of 1999, franchise and other
revenue increased $574,000 or 66.1% to $1.4 million compared to the same period
in 1998.

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

COST OF REVENUE AND GROSS PROFIT

     The cost of vending operations for the first six months of 1999 increased
$14.9 million or 55.5% to $41.6 million from $26.8 million for the comparable
period in 1998. The vending operation's contribution to gross profit for the
first six months of 1999 increased to $14.9 million, which represents a 36.6%
increase over gross profit from vending operations realized in the same period
in 1998. The vending gross profit achieved during the first six months of 1999
was 26.4 % of vending revenue, which represents a 2.6 percentage point decrease
from the gross profit achieved during the first six months of 1998. For the
second quarter of 1999, the cost of vending increased $7.4 million or 52.2% to
$21.5 million from $14.1 million for the comparable period in 1998. Vending
gross profit realized during the second quarter of 1999 was $7.3 million or 25.4
% of vending revenue as compared to $6.0 million or 29.8% for the second quarter
of 1998.

     The cash vending gross profit (vending revenue minus cost of vended
product, location commissions and direct service cost) achieved during the first
six months of 1999 was 33.3% of vending revenue, which is 1.9 percentage points
lower than the cash vending gross profit achieved during the first half of 1998.
The cash vending gross profit for the current quarter is 3.8 percentage points
lower than the cash vending gross profit achieved during the fourth quarter of
1998. The Company attributes the shortfall primarily to the higher cost of Star
Wars product utilized during the second quarter of 1999 which failed to generate
the level of anticipated customer interest and higher skill-crane machine
commission rates paid to locations resulting from contracts assumed as a result
of the Plush 4 Play acquisition. During the second quarter, the Company
continued the redeployment of machines by transferring over 315 machines to
better locations. While the Company has taken these steps, there can be no
assurance that such efforts will continue to have a positive impact on the
performance of the Shoppes.

     Substantially all the Company's plush toys and other products dispensed
from the Shoppes are produced by foreign manufacturers. A majority are purchased
directly by the Company from manufacturers in the People's Republic of China
("China"). The Company purchases its other products indirectly from vendors who
obtain a significant percentage of such products from foreign manufacturers. As
a result, the Company is subject to changes in governmental policies, the
imposition of tariffs, import and export controls, transportation delays and
interruptions, political and economic disruptions and labor strikes which could
disrupt the supply of products from such manufacturers. Among other things, the
loss of China's "most favored nation" status under U.S. tariff laws could result
in a substantial increase in the import duty of certain products manufactured in
China, which could result in substantially increased costs for certain products
purchased by the Company which could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition and results of operations.

     Gross profit on franchise and other revenue for the first six months of
1999 increased to $1.0 million or 36.5% of franchise and other revenue, which is
 .6 percentage points lower than the gross margin percentage achieved for the
same period in 1998. For the second quarter of 1999, gross profit on franchise
and other revenue increased to $615,000 or 42.7% of franchise and other revenue,
as compared to $289,000 or 33.3% of franchise and other revenue for the second
quarter of 1998. The increase in gross profit on franchise and other revenue is
due primarily to an increase in margins from our Plush 4 Play operations as well
as a reduction in equipment sales to franchisees.

OPERATING EXPENSE

     General and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization as a
percentage of revenue increased to 21.1% for the first six months of 1999, as
compared to 18.3% for the comparable period in 1998. The increase in general and
administrative expenses results primarily from an increase in sales and use
taxes and corporate and management compensation resulting from the additional
operating and satellite offices opened, amortization of goodwill and other
general and administrative expenses related to the acquisitions made by the
Company during second half of 1998. The Company anticipates higher general and
administrative expenses to continue through 1999.

OPERATING EARNINGS

     Operating earnings for the first six months of 1999 decreased 22.0% to $3.4
million, or 5.8% of total revenue, as compared to $4.4 million, or 11.1% of
total revenue for the comparable period in 1998. The decrease in operating
earnings as a percentage of revenue results primarily from the lower gross
margin achieved from the vending operation, lower franchise royalties and the
increase in general and administrative expenses.

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

NON OPERATING INCOME (EXPENSE)

     Interest expense for the first six months of 1999 increased $2.9 million to
$3.4 million as compared to the same period in 1998. Interest expense for the
second quarter of 1999 increased $1.3 million to $1.7 million as compared to the
same period in 1998. The increase in interest expense relates to the
acquisitions made by the Company in the second half of 1998. The Company's
interest expense is directly related to its level of borrowings and changes in
the underlying interest rates.

NET EARNINGS AND NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Net earnings for the first six months of 1999 decreased to $55,000, or .1%

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital resources
historically have been cash flows from operations, borrowings under the
Company's bank credit facilities and issuances of its equity securities. These
sources of cash flows have been offset by cash used for acquisitions, investment
in skill-crane machines, other amusement vending businesses and payment of
long-term borrowings.

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.0 million and $8.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company
anticipates that cash will continue to be provided by operations as additional
skill-crane machines and other amusement devices are placed in service. Cash
required in the future is expected to be funded by existing cash and cash
provided by operations, borrowings under the Company's credit facility and the
issuances of debt securities or sale of equity securities.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $3.9 million and $47.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Capital
expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 amounted to $3.4
million and $10.7 million, respectively, of which $2.7 million and $8.7 million
was represented by the acquisition of skill-crane and other machines. The
acquisition of franchisees and other amusement vending businesses in 1998 used
$36.1 million.

     Net cash used by financing activities was $1.1 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and net cash provided was $40.3 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998. Financing activities consist of advances and repayments on
the Company's credit facility and other debt obligations and in 1998 the
repurchase of warrants.

     Under its current Credit Facility, the Company may borrow up to $55.0
million less interest reserve of $1.0 million at the bank's prime interest rate
(7.75% at June 30, 1999) or, at the Company's option, an interest rate based on
the current LIBOR rate. The Credit Facility is available through July 13, 2001
and at June 30, 1999 there was a principal amount of approximately $46.6 million
outstanding and $6.8 million available under the facility. The credit facility
provides that certain financial ratios be met and places restrictions on, among
other things, the occurrence of additional debt financing and the payment of
dividends. The Company was in compliance with such financial ratios and
restrictions at June 30, 1999.

     The Company may use a portion of its capital resources to effect
acquisitions of franchisees. Because the Company cannot predict the timing or
nature of acquisition opportunities, or the availability of acquisition
financing, the Company cannot determine the extent to which capital resources
may be used. Company management believes that funds generated from operations,
borrowings available under its credit facility, the Company's ability to
negotiate additional and enhanced credit agreements and to sell additional
equity securities will be sufficient to meet the Company's foreseeable operating
and capital expenditure needs.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     The Year 2000 issue refers to the fact that certain management information
systems use two digit date fields which recognize dates using the assumption
that the first two digits are "19" (i.e., the number 98 is recognized as the
year

              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED).

1998). When the year 2000 occurs, these systems could interpret the year as 1900
versus 2000, which in turn, could result in system failures or miscalculations
causing disruptions to the Company and its suppliers.

     To address the issue, the Company has established a compliance team that
includes outside consulting staff. The team has instituted a multi-phase plan
that includes; inventorying all computer systems, software and business
equipment to assess the impact of the Year 2000; obtaining documentation from
each software vendor to ascertain their compliance; developing solution plans
related to upgrading, modifying or replacing affected systems; and obtaining
documentation from significant suppliers stating their Year 2000 readiness.

     The compliance team has determined that the Company's critical operating
systems, accounting systems, computer systems and business equipment are the
major resources that are affected by the Year 2000 issue. While certain of these
systems will need to be upgraded or replaced, the identified systems and or
programs are primarily "off the shelf" products with Year 2000 updates
available. The Company expects to have these systems fully compliant by
September 30, 1999.

     As a part of its Year 2000 plan, the Company is in the process of
contacting its significant suppliers to determine the extent to which the
systems of such suppliers are Year 2000 compliant. The Company will continue to
contact its suppliers in an effort to minimize any potential Year 2000
compliance impact, however, it is not possible to guarantee their compliance.

     The total cost for the Year 2000 has been and is expected to be minimal.

     Management believes that it has an effective plan in place to adequately
address the Year 2000 issue in a timely manner. Nevertheless, failure of third
parties upon which the Company's business relies could result in disruption of
the Company's supply of equipment and other general problems related to daily
operations. In addition, disruptions in the economy generally resulting from
Year 2000 issues could adversely effect the Company. Although, the Company
believes its Year 2000 plan will adequately address the Company's internal
issues, the overall risks associated with the Year 2000 issue cannot be fully
identified until the Company receives more responses from significant suppliers.
Accordingly, the amount of potential liability and lost revenue, if any, cannot
be reasonably estimated at this time.
