              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS

                           AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                          QUARTER ENDED MAY 2, 1998

Analysis of Operations
----------------------

Combined sales and textile service revenues increased 1.0 percent compared
with last year's first quarter, and net income was up 22.9 percent.  Revenues
of the Textile Services segment decreased 7.9 percent in the first quarter
with the decrease largely due to the sale of the Las Vegas casino laundry
business in November last year.   Earnings of this segment increased 10.2
percent as a result of the Las Vegas sale and better margins.  First quarter
sales of the Manufacturing and Marketing segment increased 13.3 percent
compared with the same quarter last year, and earnings increased 341.9
percent.  The U.S. operations of this segment had a significant earnings
increase while the foreign operations were essentially the same as last year.
Life Retail Stores had a 2.1 percent increase in sales, as a result of
acquisitions and new store additions made in the past year offset by a 1.3
percent decline in same-store sales.  Earnings decreased 22.2 percent largely
due to the decline in same-store sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 3.6 percent in the
first quarter compared with the same period last year.  These expenses
increased as a percent of combined sales and textile service revenues from
20.5 percent to 21.1 percent in the first quarter.  The growth in the number
of Life Retail Stores (whose selling, general and administrative expenses are
a much larger percentage of sales than in either of the other two business
segments) has contributed to the increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percent to combined sales and revenues.

Financial Condition
-------------------

The Company had working capital of $140,386,000 and a current ratio of 2.7 to
1 at May 2, 1998, down from $158,319,000 and 3.0 to 1 a year ago and compared
with $141,999,000 and 2.6 to 1 at the beginning of the year.  The ratio of
long-term debt to debt-plus-equity was 35.2 percent at the close of the first
quarter, compared with 35.7 percent at the beginning of the year and 34.5
percent a year ago.

Operating activities provided a total cash flow of $6,764,000 in first
quarter compared with a use of cash of $908,000 in the first quarter last
year, with the increase being due to higher net income and decreased
requirements for working capital.  Cash used in investing activities
decreased from $12,134,000 a year ago to $3,912,000 in the current quarter.
Last year's amounts included capital expenditures for two new laundry
facilities and the acquisition of a cooperative laundry in southern
California.  Financial activities reflect the normal sinking fund payments of
long-term debt, $1,300,000 paydown of short-term debt and the payment of
dividends.  No material change in the Company's future aggregate cash
requirements is

                                    3
<PAGE> 5
foreseen at the present time.

Based on the Company's cash generation from operations, as well as its strong
working capital position, current ratio and ratio of long-term debt to
debt-plus-equity, Management believes that internal funds available from
operations plus external funds available from the issuance of additional debt
and/or equity as needed in the future, will be sufficient for all planned
operating and capital requirements, including acquisitions.

Dear Shareholder:

I am pleased to report that Angelica has begun fiscal 1999 with volume and
earnings up as compared with the first quarter last year.

First quarter combined sales and textile service revenues were $128,665,000,
an increase of 1.0 percent from $127,357,000 in last year's first quarter.
Pretax income of $3,917,000 compared with last year's $3,187,000, and net
income of $2,428,000 was up 22.9 percent from the $1,976,000 earned in the
first quarter last year.  Net income per share was $.26 versus $.22 in the
comparable quarter last year.

The Textile Services segment had a decline in first quarter revenues --
$65,856,000 compared with $71,534,000 last year, a 7.9 percent reduction.
This decline was largely due to the divestiture of the Las Vegas casino
laundry business.  Operating earnings, on the other hand, increased by 10.2
percent to $5,009,000 from $4,544,000 last year. The Textile Services segment
had a good first quarter, and we look forward to a continuation of these
improved results over the remaining quarters of the year.

The Manufacturing and Marketing segment's first quarter exceeded our
expectations and showed good improvement relative to last year. Sales were
$48,032,000 in the first quarter compared with $42,412,000 last year, an
increase of 13.3 percent.  Quarterly operating earnings were up significantly
at $1,654,000 compared with $374,000 last year, an increase of 341.9 percent.
While we still have a long way to go to achieve satisfactory operating
margins in this segment, the margins achieved in the first quarter this year
were the highest since the first quarter of fiscal year 1997.

Life Retail Stores had poor results for the quarter, with earnings below last
year's comparable quarter. Sales for the quarter were $20,798,000, up 2.1
percent compared with $20,369,000 last year.  Operating earnings were
$1,510,000 compared with $1,942,000, a decline of 22.2 percent.  Without new
store openings and acquisitions, Life's sales would have been below last
year, as same-store sales declined by 1.3 percent.  This was caused both by a
slackening of demand and by lower prices per unit sold.  Earnings were
negatively affected by the aforementioned unit price decline and by higher
operating costs due to a larger number of new stores.

Our efforts to improve asset use efficiency showed good results in the first
quarter this year.  Accounts receivable dropped by $2,152,000 since the end
of last year, and days outstanding of 58 were lower by three days.
Inventories, although still too high, were down as well by $2,047,000 in the
quarter, and linens in service were $1,075,000 lower.  Altogether, reductions
of these three working capital accounts provided $5,274,000 in cash flow.
Total cash flow from operating activities was a strong $6,764,000 in the
first quarter.

We are continuing our efforts to add value at Angelica.  We are in the
process of strategically evaluating each of our businesses.  As a
consequence, we have identified some areas where value can be added rather
quickly, others where opportunities exist but will take some time to


<PAGE> 7
change before value can be added.  We also have found some areas where value
was, in fact, being destroyed.  We are programming those out with a great
deal of urgency.

As mentioned above, we are focusing our efforts to improve asset use
efficiency.  Our inventories and accounts receivable are simply too high.
Our goal is to reduce substantially the level of inventories in our
Manufacturing and Marketing segment.  We also have some closed facilities
which we will be converting to cash as the year progresses.  We are asking
the segment Presidents to continue their efforts to improve revenue
generation per dollar of assets employed.  As discussed in the Annual Report,
return on net assets (RONA) is a performance measure now in use at the
operating segment level which will be the basis for compensation plans in the
future.

The strategic planning process is also surfacing some opportunities for
future growth.  There are some existing markets which our three segments
could serve more effectively and other new markets which offer reasonable
opportunities for sales and revenue growth as well as increased operating
earnings.  Acquisitions will still play an important part in our future
growth.  Life Stores has acquired five stores in the first quarter, with more
planned for the remainder of this year.  Textile Services is in the process
of adding staff to manage their business better and to prepare to participate
in the industry consolidation as it continues to take place.  We are not
planning any acquisitions for the Manufacturing and Marketing segment.

The healthcare market is still our primary focus, and the demand there
appears to be strong.  The pricing and margin pressures experienced over the
last several years as the industry consolidated into larger buying groups
with more purchasing "clout" appear to have abated somewhat.  This is
encouraging, as higher investment returns in this market segment are required
for us to reinvest for the future.

Based on the first quarter's results and the opportunities which are
unfolding in our strategic planning process, we are confident that we will
achieve our plans for the year.  We are mindful of the challenges which
exist, but as we continue our efforts to add value for our customers through
the efforts of our associates, we expect to add value for you, our
shareholders, as well.  We believe fiscal 1999 will show a significant
improvement in value addition over fiscal 1998.
