                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           QUARTER ENDED JULY 28, 2001



(1) The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements are
    unaudited, and it is suggested that these consolidated statements be read
    in conjunction with the fiscal 2001 Annual Report, including Notes to
    Consolidated 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 Quarterly Report
    to Shareholders for the quarter ended July 28, 2001, listed in such index
    are incorporated herein by reference. The pages of the Quarterly Report
    to Shareholders which are not listed on the index and therefore not
    incorporated herein by reference are furnished for the information of the
    Commission but are not to be deemed "filed" as a part of this report. The
    Quarterly Report to Shareholders referred to herein is located
    immediately following page 4 of this report.

(3) For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company
    considers short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily
    convertible into cash, as cash equivalents.

(4) In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements
    of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS
    141") and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142").
    SFAS 141 governs the initial recognition and measurement of intangible
    assets acquired in business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
    Under SFAS 142, goodwill recorded as of June 30, 2001 will no longer be
    amortized effective with the date of adoption, which is January 27, 2002
    for the Company. Additionally, any goodwill recognized from a business
    combination completed after June 30, 2001 will not be amortized. Instead,
    goodwill will be tested for impairment as of the date of adoption and at
    least annually thereafter using a fair-value based analysis. The Company
    has not determined the effect on its consolidated financial statements
    that will result from the adoption of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142. Goodwill
    amortization expense is expected to be approximately $400,000 in fiscal
    2002, and would be a comparable amount in fiscal 2003, absent this
    accounting change.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS

                             AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                           QUARTER ENDED JULY 28, 2001

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

   Combined sales and textile service revenues for the second quarter and
   first half ended July 28, 2001 increased 2.7 percent and 4.1 percent,
   respectively, over the comparable prior year periods. This is the fourth
   consecutive quarterly increase in combined sales and textile service
   revenues. However, a strong performance by our largest business segment,
   Textile Services, could not overcome earnings declines for the quarter in
   our Manufacturing and Marketing and Life Retail Stores segments primarily
   due to a weak economy. As a result, earnings of $.10 per share in the
   quarter were 52.4 percent lower than the $.21 per share earned a year ago.
   Earnings per share in the first half this year were $.27 compared with
   $.39 last year, a decline of 30.8 percent.

   Revenues of the Textile Services segment increased 8.2 percent in the
   second quarter, and are up 8.1 percent for the year, due to record high
   levels of net new business additions. Earnings of this segment increased
   24.9 percent in the quarter and 16.4 percent in the first half as a result
   of the higher revenues combined with continued improvements in plant
   productivity and linen management. Energy costs also moderated somewhat
   during the quarter. In the second quarter, sales of the Manufacturing and
   Marketing segment declined 4.7 percent and operating earnings fell by 65.3
   percent compared to a year ago. Lower levels of purchases by new and
   existing customers and slightly lower gross margins due to sales mix
   produced a small operating loss at Angelica Image Apparel, the domestic
   operations of this segment. The Canadian operations of this segment, on
   the other hand, had excellent sales and earnings gains in the quarter and
   first half. For the first half of the year, earnings of the Manufacturing
   and Marketing segment were down 52.8 percent on a 0.3 percent decline in
   sales. In the second quarter, operating expense reductions amounting to
   approximately $4,000,000 on an annualized basis were implemented at
   Angelica Image Apparel. These reductions are expected to benefit the
   second half of the year. Second quarter sales at Life Retail Stores were
   also affected by the current economic slowdown, declining 2.7 percent as a
   result of a same-store sales decline of 6.2 percent. For the first half of
   the year, sales increased 0.1 percent due to the opening of ten new stores
   and sales from the catalogue and e-commerce distribution channels offset
   by a same-store sales decline of 2.1 percent. However, sales through these
   new distribution channels were lower than planned, and the new stores have
   not yet made a positive contribution to earnings. Consequently, this
   segment posted operating losses of $712,000 in the second quarter and
   $773,000 in the first half, compared with earnings of $146,000 and
   $689,000 in the second quarter and first half, respectively, a year ago.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7.0 percent in the
   second quarter compared with the same period last year. These expenses
   increased as a percent of combined sales and textile service revenues from
   24.8 percent to 25.8 percent in the quarter reflecting the sales declines
   in Manufacturing and Marketing and Life Retail Stores. Corporate expenses,
   including interest, increased 7.3 percent in the quarter due mainly to
   reduced interest income on lower cash balances and lower interest rates.

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

   The Company had working capital of $120,064,000 and a current ratio of 2.5
   to 1 at July 28, 2001, down from $146,174,000 and 4.0 to 1 a year ago due
   primarily to the reclassification from long-term debt to current
   maturities of a $25,000,000 debt payment due December 31, 2001. The ratio
   of long-term debt to debt-plus-equity was 25.0 percent at the close of the
   quarter, down from 34.5 percent a year ago and 27.1 percent at the
   beginning of the year.

   Operating activities provided total cash flow of $1,702,000 in the first
   half compared with $9,974,000 in the first half last year. This decrease
   is primarily due to payments for the inventory build-up in last year's
   fourth quarter in the Manufacturing and Marketing segment, coupled with
   additional working capital requirements to support growth at Textile
   Services. Cash used in investing activities was $6,281,000 compared with
   cash used a year ago of $2,050,000. The difference is due mainly to
   increased capital expenditures of $2,645,000 in the current year,
   primarily to improve productivity and reduce utility costs in the Textile
   Services segment and to open new Life Retail stores. Cash flows used in
   financing activities decreased $2,679,000 in this year's first half
   compared to the year earlier period, due mainly to a reduction in
   dividends paid. Cash and short-term investments totaled $13,271,000 at
   July 28, 2001, down from $18,435,000 a year ago and $20,311,000 at the
   beginning of the year.

   During the second quarter, the Company entered into two new loan
   commitment agreements that made available to the Company up to $30,000,000
   on a revolving credit basis for working capital and other purposes.
   Shortly after the end of the quarter, on July 30, 2001, $15,000,000 of the
   $25,000,000 of 9.15 percent interest-bearing debt maturing on December 31,
   2001 was prepaid using $12,000,000 of proceeds from one of the agreements
   plus cash on hand. The prepayment is expected to save approximately
   $240,000 of net interest expense in the second half of this year.

   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.

                                                        August 16, 2001
Dear Fellow Shareholder:

As indicated in our August 16, 2001 press release, second quarter results
were a disappointment and were below last year's comparable quarter by a
significant amount. Earnings per share for the quarter were $.10 compared to
$.21 a year ago, as the weak economy drove down sales and earnings for two
of our three business segments.

Second quarter combined sales and textile service revenues increased 2.7
percent to $117,002,000 from $113,940,000 in the same period last year.
Pretax income was $1,399,000 in the quarter compared with $2,868,000 last
year, and net income decreased 50.5 percent to $895,000 from $1,807,000 in
last year's second quarter. For the first half of this year, combined sales
and textile service revenues were $236,475,000 compared with $227,192,000 in
last year's first half, an increase of 4.1 percent. Pretax income of
$3,663,000 compared with $5,371,000 in the prior year's first half, and net
income was $2,344,000 versus $3,384,000 in the same period last year, a
decrease of 30.7 percent. Earnings per share in the first half this year
were $.27 compared with $.39 last year.

Fortunately, our largest business segment, Textile Services, had a very
strong quarter, both in terms of revenues and earnings. Revenues in this
segment increased 8.2 percent to $64,846,000 compared with $59,920,000 in
the second quarter last year, and operating earnings increased 24.9 percent
in the quarter to $4,831,000 compared with $3,868,000 last year. In
comparing the first half of this year to last, revenues have increased by
$9,722,000 or 8.1 percent, and earnings have increased by $1,348,000 or 16.4
percent. The investments that we have made in labor-saving and
energy-efficient equipment have begun to have a positive effect on the
bottom line. Just as significantly, the closing of value-destroying
operations over the past three years has also helped us to improve earnings.
Value-adding sales growth has occurred in this segment as a result of our
rebuilding the sales force and our focus on customer profitability and
improved customer service. New business additions, net of customer losses,
were at record high levels for both the second quarter and first half of
this year. Textile Services serves the healthcare industry primarily, and
while not recession proof, this industry is certainly more recession
resistant than many other market segments that we serve at Angelica. The
healthcare industry, while still under intense cost pressure, is in the best
financial condition that it has been in a number of years. We intend to
allocate additional resources to the Textile Services segment in order to
leverage our commitment to add more shareholder value.

In the second quarter, the Manufacturing and Marketing segment's sales
(before inter-segment sales) declined 4.7 percent to $37,156,000 compared
with $38,978,000 last year. Operating earnings fell to $714,000 compared
with $2,055,000 in the same quarter last year, a decline of 65.3 percent. We
did add a number of new customers, but they purchased less than we expected,
and existing customers purchased less this year than last as well. We
believe that the weak economy is the principal reason for the sales
shortfall, as our customers are reducing purchases to essential levels
wherever possible. The Canadian operations of this segment, on the other
hand, had excellent growth in sales and earnings for the quarter and first
half; however, their positive results could not offset the declines at
Angelica Image Apparel, the domestic operations. On an annualized basis, we
have already reduced operating expenses at Image Apparel by approximately
$4,000,000 and are currently implementing another round of expense
reductions totaling another $1,000,000. These reductions will help us to
achieve improved earnings in the second half of the year. Other corrective
actions include gross

margin improvement - through responsible pricing and improved sourcing of
products non-domestically - as well as inventory reduction and simplifying
the business wherever possible. This business segment had experienced
positive increases in earnings in each of the last three fiscal years, and
it is a disappointment to take a step backward in our turnaround efforts in
the first half of this year.

Life Retail was the other business segment suffering sales and earnings
declines for the quarter and year to date, also largely due to an unexpected
weak economy. In the second quarter, Life Retail had a same-store sales
decline of 6.2 percent, the first such decline in two and one-half years.
Overall, second quarter sales declined 2.7 percent to $20,774,000 compared
with $21,355,000 last year. This segment had an operating loss of $712,000
in the second quarter compared with operating earnings of $146,000 in last
year's quarter. While an estimated 25 percent of nationwide healthcare
apparel sales are purchased from the catalogue and e-commerce channels, Life
Retail was not represented in these channels until recently. The entry cost
of this has been higher than planned, primarily due to slower sales growth
than we expected, but clearly Life needs to sell products through these
channels. New store openings, which have totaled ten so far this year, also
negatively affected earnings in this segment, but should contribute
positively in the future. On the plus side, gross margins have increased in
the segment this year and were at a two-year high in July. Healthcare
employment continues to grow, although it appears that many healthcare
employees are curtailing uniform apparel purchases at this time. We expect
some recovery in earnings in the second half of the year as a result of
expense control measures (including a freeze on new store openings) and are
encouraged for the future when the economy strengthens.

Angelica's results so far this year are bittersweet. We are encouraged by
the revenue and strong earnings growth trend in our largest business
segment, Textile Services, but are discouraged by the lack of sales growth
in the Manufacturing and Marketing and Life Retail business segments and the
corresponding reduction in operating earnings. As we all know, business is
not without risk, and in hindsight some of the decisions that we made to
grow sales and earnings responsibly in these segments perhaps were ill
advised given current economic conditions. Now it is up to Management to
make corrections, while at the same time being careful not to overreact. It
is not unlike changing a flat tire on a moving car.

Responsible revenue growth, attraction and retention of managerial talent,
and avoiding margin erosion are the three biggest challenges facing CEOs in
corporate America today. We face these as well, and by focusing our efforts
on this challenge triumvirate, we believe we will continue to perform
exceptionally well in our Textile Services segment and will be able to
improve our results at Life Retail and Manufacturing and Marketing.

However, because there seems little hope of economic recovery until early
next year and assuming no worsening in the meantime, we expect Angelica's
results for fiscal 2002 to be equal to or possibly five percent less than
the $.76 per share we earned last year. When the economy strengthens, we
expect Angelica's value-building strategies will be rewarded and that
shareholder value will improve.

Respectfully submitted,
