     unaudited, and it is suggested that these consolidated statements
     be read in conjunction with the fiscal 1999 Annual Report,
     including Notes to Financial Statements.  However, it is the
     opinion of the Company that all adjustments, consisting only of
     normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of
     the results during the interim period have been included.

(2)  See Index to Financial Statements and Supporting Schedules on page
     1.  Those pages of the Angelica Corporation and Subsidiaries

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS

                        AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                       QUARTER ENDED MAY 1, 1999


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

Combined sales and textile service revenues decreased 5.9 percent
compared with last year's first quarter, while net income increased 2.6
percent.  Revenues of the Textile Services segment decreased 2.0 percent
in the first quarter with the decrease the result of customer losses
exceeding new business gained in the period.  Earnings of this segment
increased 2.0 percent benefiting from a pretax gain of $312,000 on the
sale of Textile Services' administration and warehouse facility in
California, completing the consolidation of its administrative offices
and functions into a single location.  First quarter sales of the
Manufacturing and Marketing segment decreased 15.6 percent compared with
the same quarter last year as a result of the sale of underperforming
businesses (including the United Kingdom business sold March 1, 1999),
the lack of high volume provided last year by the rollout of the New
York City Transit program and exiting of unprofitable product and market
segments.  First quarter earnings increased 8.5 percent aided by better
gross margins and another strong quarter for the Canadian Operations.
Life Retail Stores had a 6.4 percent increase in sales, as a result of a
3.2 percent same-store sales increase together with volume from new
stores and acquisitions.  Earnings decreased 41.5 percent, primarily due
to deep discounting in certain geographical areas and the resulting
lower margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 0.8 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 21.1 percent to 22.6 percent in the first quarter.  The
growth in the number of Life Retail stores has contributed to the
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.  Interest
expense was $483,000 lower in the quarter as a result of the repayment
of all short term debt in fiscal 1999.

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

The Company had working capital of $141,469,000 and a current ratio of
4.0 to 1 at May 1, 1999, up from $140,386,000 and 2.7 to 1 a year ago
and compared with $136,071,000 and 3.2 to 1 at the beginning of the
year.  The ratio of long-term debt to debt-plus-equity was 35.1 percent
at the close of the quarter, approximately the same as a year ago and
down from 35.4 percent at the beginning of the year.

Operating activities provided a total cash flow of $2,276,000 in the
first quarter compared with providing $6,764,000 in the first quarter
last year, with the decrease being due to increased requirements for
working capital.  Cash provided by investing activities was $2,267,000
compared with cash used a year ago of $3,912,000.  Included in investing
activities were capital expenditures of $1,331,000, $143,000 for
acquisitions and proceeds from sale of assets of $3,741,000.  Cash flow
used in financing activities reflects the normal sinking fund payments
of long-term debt and the payment of dividends.  No material change in
the Company's future aggregate cash requirements is 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.

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

The Company is working to resolve the effect that the Year 2000 ("Y2K")
issue has on its business and information systems.  This process began
in 1996 with a comprehensive impact analysis to determine the scope,
requirements and cost of this effort.  All significant systems requiring
modification or replacement have been identified.  Currently, the
Company is in various stages of completion on different systems.  All
in-house developed software has been modified, tested, and is currently
in production and compliant.  Third party software, including packages,
is being made Y2K compliant using a combination of internal resources
and outside contractors and vendors.  Compliance letters have been
received from all software vendors stating that they are, or will be,
Y2K compliant.  The Company has engaged in a fairly aggressive process
to gain commitments from major suppliers to ensure that their systems
are Y2K compliant.  Statements have been received from 100 percent of
major suppliers and from 60 percent of all suppliers.  The Company is
also in the midst of addressing its Y2K issues which may not be
information technology based, including contingency options to address
unforeseen problems.

The Company has recently embarked on a comprehensive integrated testing
process.  A test lab environment has been created for all business
segments and each production system and its related dependency systems
and processes are being tested against critical 1999 and 2000 dates.
Compliance expectations thus far have been achieved.  This integrated
testing process is expected to be fully completed by September, 1999.

While the Company currently believes it will complete its Y2K effort by
October, 1999, failure to do so, or the failure of the Company's major
suppliers, vendors, governmental entities and other third parties with
which the Company has business dealings to modify or replace their
systems, could affect the Company's operations in unforeseen ways and,
thus, have a material adverse effect on the Company's future financial
condition and operating results.  The most reasonably likely worst-case
scenario of failure, by the Company or its suppliers, to resolve the Y2K
issue, would be a temporary slowdown of operations at one or more of the
Company's facilities.  The Company is currently reviewing contingency
options, including manual alternatives to systems operation, which would
minimize the risks of any such unresolved Y2K problem.

The cost of the Y2K effort is estimated at $2.6 million, of which
approximately $2.4 million has been expended as of May 1, 1999.  The Y2K
costs are expensed as incurred, and amounts associated with newly-
purchased software are capitalized.  These costs are being funded
through operating cash flows.

Forward-Looking Disclosure
--------------------------

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe-
harbor" for forward-looking statements.  This report contains forward-
looking statements that reflect the Company's current  views with
respect  to  future  events, financial resources and Y2K issues. These
forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical results or those anticipated.  Actual future results and
trends may differ materially from historical results or those
anticipated depending on a variety of factors, including, but not
limited to, competitive and general economic conditions, the achievement
of operating efficiencies and optimizing costs without deterioration in
customer service and the timely resolution of the Y2K issue by the
Company, its customers and suppliers.

                       [Angelica letterhead]



                             Exhibit A



                                                            May 20, 1999

Dear Shareholder:

I am pleased to report that Angelica has begun fiscal 2000 with a per
share net income increase of 11.5 percent as compared with the first
quarter last year.  This exceeded our expectations for the quarter as we
had projected lower comparative income this year as a consequence of an
extraordinary first quarter performance last year.  Much of the per
share gain resulted from fewer number of shares outstanding as a result
of our share repurchase program completed in the first quarter.

Combined sales and textile service revenues decreased 5.9 percent to
$121,132,000 in this year's first quarter compared with $128,665,000
last year.  Pretax income was up slightly in the quarter to $4,017,000
from $3,917,000, and net income increased 2.6 percent to $2,491,000 from
$2,428,000 in the comparable prior period.  Net income per share was
$.29 versus $.26 last year, an increase of 11.5 percent as I have noted.

The Textile Services segment had a decline in first quarter revenue from
$65,856,000 last year to $64,523,000 this year or 2.0 percent.  The
revitalized and expanded sales management team for this segment, while
already showing some positive results, has not yet had a significant
impact on top-line growth.  The commitment to revenue growth in this
division is being reinforced, and it is expected that the significant
investment in sales management and additional sales representatives will
begin to be reflected in stronger revenue growth as the year progresses.
Operating earnings increased 2.0 percent to $5,107,000 from $5,009,000
in the first quarter last year, as the sale this year of the
administration and warehouse building in California yielded a gain of
$312,000.  The sale of this facility marked the completion of the
consolidation of Textile Services' administrative functions in a single
location.

The Manufacturing and Marketing segment's sales for the first quarter
were $40,541,000 compared with $48,032,000 or 15.6 percent below last
year.  Since most of the sales decline was, as planned, in product
areas, market segments and business units which were unprofitable,
operating earnings  of $1,795,000 in the quarter were 8.5 percent above
last year's $1,654,000.  The business operations in the United Kingdom
were sold effective March 1, 1999.  This unit was acquired in 1991, and
the results had been unsatisfactory.

In the first quarter, Life Retail Stores had a same-store sales increase
of 3.2 percent, the highest increase since the first quarter of fiscal
1998.  Overall, sales increased 6.4 percent compared with the previous
year first quarter, the difference being in new store openings and
acquisitions.  Total sales for the quarter were $22,137,000 compared
with $20,798,000 in the same period last year.  Since deep discounting
in certain geographic locations continued in the quarter, operating
earnings decreased to $884,000 from $1,510,000 in the previous year, a
reduction of 41.5 percent. Our objective now is to increase sales at
more modest discount levels, which should result in an increase in gross
profit.

Our focus on improving asset use efficiency continued to show positive
results in the quarter.  Accounts receivable were reduced by another
$838,000 since last fiscal year end, and days sales outstanding were at
a most impressive 54 days, which compares with 61 days just fifteen
months ago.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Inventories were further reduced by $4,993,000 and linens in service
also declined by $1,433,000.  As a result of these efforts, and a
slightly improved operating margin, return on net assets for the
corporation increased to 6.4 percent from 5.8 percent for fiscal 1999.

While results for the first quarter were better than expected on a per
share basis, we are not adding to sales and textile service revenues as
quickly as needed in order to add value to Angelica.  We now know what
constitutes quality revenue, and we have the foundation in place to
support more aggressive sales growth. We need to increase the amount of
new business that is being generated at Textile Services; we need to add
more sales representatives at Manufacturing and Marketing; and we need
to increase same-store sales at Life Uniform more consistently, and
reduce cost of goods for this segment as well.

Gross margins have improved to 28.1 percent from 26.8 percent despite a
gross margin reduction at Life Retail Stores.  It is expected that gross
margins will continue to increase as we produce and source more
effectively.  A continuation of more responsible pricing of contracts by
Textile Services and Manufacturing and Marketing will also serve to
improve gross margins.

At Textile Services we have established goals to reduce labor and
utility costs by 20% over the next three-year planning period.  At Life
Retail we are evaluating additional distribution channels, and we intend
to be more aggressive in closing down those stores with continuing
operating losses.  Our cost optimization efforts continue at
Manufacturing and Marketing.  All of these efforts support our goal to
increase productivity throughout the Company.

Our primary focus is still the healthcare market.  The demographics
remain positive for market segment growth.  The Angelica and Life brand
names are well-known and respected in the healthcare market.  We simply
must continue our efforts to be the industry leader in each of our
segments --  Textile Services, Manufacturing and Marketing and Life
Retail.  This can only be accomplished if we manage our costs, satisfy
our customers and lead our associates to improved levels of performance.
Your management team is committed to those courses of action.

Based on the first quarter's results, the strength of the economy and
our efforts to add quality revenue, we are confident that we will
achieve our plans for the year.  We believe that fiscal 2000 will, once
again, show a significant improvement in value addition over the prior
fiscal year.


Respectfully submitted,
