             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS

                           AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                        QUARTER ENDED APRIL 28, 2001

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

Combined sales and textile service revenues showed improvement over the
comparable prior year period for the third quarter in a row, increasing
5.5 percent in the quarter. First quarter sales and revenues were up
over last year for each of the three business segments for the second
consecutive quarter. However, earnings of $.17 per share in the first
quarter were lower than the $.18 per share earned in last year's first
quarter as results continue to be negatively affected by extraordinary
increases in energy costs, especially in the State of California.
Consolidated net income decreased 8.1 percent to $1,449,000 from
$1,577,000 last year.

Revenues of the Textile Services segment increased 7.9 percent in the
first quarter, as net new business additions remained strong. Earnings
of this segment increased 8.8 percent in the quarter as better
management of linen costs and productivity improvements from
installation of labor-saving equipment helped offset the sharply higher
energy costs. First quarter results of this segment were also aided by
a $500,000 gain on the sale of a small number of unproductive
hospitality accounts. Although sales of the Manufacturing and Marketing
segment increased 4.5 percent, the increase was below expectations due
largely to the lower level of new program rollouts. In addition, about
half of the sales increase was from intersegment sales which are at
lower gross margins than sales to third parties. As a result, first
quarter earnings of this segment decreased 31.6 percent, despite
another strong quarter for the smaller Canadian operations of this
segment. Life Retail Stores had a 2.6 percent increase in first quarter
sales, as a result of a small 1.5 percent same-store sales increase and
the opening of ten new stores during the quarter. However, the sales
increase was insufficient to overcome normal operating cost increases,
the negative short-term impact on earnings from the new store openings,
and higher start-up costs for the catalogue and e-commerce distribution
channels. Therefore, this segment posted an operating loss of $61,000
compared with earnings of $543,000 in the first quarter last year.
Efforts are being undertaken at both Manufacturing and Marketing and
Life Retail Stores to reduce operating expenses to offset the impact of
lower-than-expected sales levels.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8.1 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 25.5 percent to 26.1 percent in the quarter reflecting
lower-than-planned sales volumes. Corporate expenses, including
interest expense, were 10.0 percent lower in the first quarter compared
to the year-earlier period, which included certain one-time expenses
related to the Company's strategic alternatives process.


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

The Company had working capital of $124,358,000 and a current ratio of
2.6 to 1 at April 28, 2001, down from $144,237,000 and 4.2 to 1 a year
ago due primarily to the reclassification from

                                    3

<PAGE>

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
26.7 percent at the close of the quarter, down from 34.9 percent a year
ago and 27.1 percent at the beginning of the year.

Cash flow used in operating activities of $1,283,000 in the first
quarter compared with $5,046,000 of cash flow provided in the first
quarter 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. Cash used in investing activities was $3,561,000
compared with cash used a year ago of $272,000. Capital expenditures
increased $1,717,000 in the current year, primarily to improve
productivity and reduce utility costs in the Textile Services segment.
Cash flows used in financing activities decreased $2,118,000 in the
first quarter, due mainly to a reduction in dividends paid. Cash and
short-term investments totaled $14,601,000 at April 28, 2001, down from
$17,441,000 a year ago and $20,311,000 at the beginning of the year.

As noted above, the Company's future aggregate cash requirements are
affected by the $25,000,000 of debt maturing on December 31, 2001.
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 Fellow Shareholder:

While results for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 at $.17 per share are
below those for the first quarter last year at $.18 per share, the decline
was caused primarily by external factors mostly outside of our control --
increased energy costs that could not be passed along to our customers. Our
Textile Services segment has eleven of its 26 laundry plants (accounting for
47 percent of our laundry processing requirements) in the State of
California, which saw unprecedented increases in energy costs during the
quarter. We estimate that our energy costs were $1,600,000 more in the first
quarter than they were a year ago, or equal to about $.11 per share before
offset for energy surcharges we are collecting from some customers.

Combined sales and textile service revenues increased 5.5 percent to
$119,473,000 compared with $113,252,000 in the same period last year, with
all three business segments showing increases for the second quarter in a
row. Pre-tax income was $2,264,000 in the quarter, compared with $2,503,000
last year, and net income was 8.1 percent lower at $1,449,000 versus
$1,577,000 in last year's first quarter.

At the Textile Services segment, revenues rose 7.9 percent in the first
quarter to $65,487,000 compared with $60,691,000 last year, and operating
earnings for the quarter were $4,740,000 versus $4,356,000, an increase of
8.8 percent. Helping to offset the impact of higher energy costs was a
$500,000 gain on the sale of a small number of unproductive hospitality
accounts from one of our plants in Florida. We were especially pleased with
the increased revenues from Textile Services, our largest segment. Based on
new business added of $10,300,000 in the first quarter against losses of
$5,000,000, net business added was $5,300,000 in annual revenues, a first
quarter record. Our customer retention is also at the highest rate in recent
history. Certainly we are pleased with this, but even more importantly, the
new business is being added at higher price levels than our current average
prices. At Textile Services, our productivity has also increased impressively
throughout the segment. This is a result of better management practices as
well as the result of capital investments that have been made in the past two
years. Capital expenditures are continuing to be made at relatively high
levels to continue to reduce labor intensity and, more recently, to install
more utility-efficient equipment in selected plants. The management team has
embraced three important value-adding processes this year: Customer
Profitability, Pricing and Customer Retention through increased customer
satisfaction. Of course, intense cost scrutiny is a daily activity in this
segment, as these efforts support responsible revenue growth.

The Manufacturing and Marketing segment's sales for the first quarter were
$37,641,000, compared with $36,036,000 or 4.5 percent above last year.
However, this increase was less than expected, as we experienced a slow-down
in the "rollouts" planned for new and existing customers during this year's
first quarter, and this shows signs of continuing into later quarters this
year. In addition, a good part of the increased sales were to the Textile
Services and Life Retail Stores segments at lower margins than outside sales.
As a result, operating earnings of $818,000 were below last year's level of
$1,196,000. Our Canadian operations, which were combined from two independent
units into one last year, had a very strong quarter with a sales increase of
19.1 percent and an operating earnings increase of 71.4 percent, although
their contribution is small relative to the U.S. operations of this segment.
With the less-than-expected sales levels, Manufacturing and Marketing
inventory levels were reduced only marginally in the quarter. Due to the
first quarter's results and the impact of a possible further weakening of the
economy, we are planning to reduce operating costs significantly in this
segment as soon as practical. The benefit of these actions should be felt in
the second half of the year.

In the first quarter, Life Retail Stores had a small same-store sales
increase of 1.5 percent. This is the ninth quarter in a row where same-store
sales have increased, which is an impressive accomplishment given the
relatively weak retail environment of the past few months. Overall, sales
increased 2.6 percent to $23,902,000, compared with $23,291,000 in the
previous year first quarter. This increase, however, was not enough to offset
the impact of normal increases in operating costs, nor the downward effect on
earnings of opening in the quarter

ten additional stores which have not yet become fully productive. As a
result, Life had a modest loss of $61,000 in the quarter, compared with
operating earnings of $543,000 in the first quarter last year. Among the new
stores opened were five stores in the Boston, MA area and three new stores in
the Atlanta, GA area. This reflects our strategy of having optimal presence
in large healthcare marketplaces. We continue to be encouraged by the gradual
growth of sales in the catalogue and e-commerce distribution channels, and we
continue to invest for the future in these important channels.

Interest income decreased in the first quarter, reflecting the use of cash
for the inventory build-up in last year's fourth quarter in the domestic
operations of Manufacturing and Marketing and for the capital investments
made to improve productivity and reduce utility costs at Textile Services.
The new stores at Life in the first quarter also required cash investments in
store fixtures and inventory. As a result, our cash levels were reduced to
$14,601,000 at the end of the quarter, down from $20,311,000 at last year
end. We are pleased that corporate expenses, including interest expense, were
10.0 percent below the level of the same quarter a year ago.

When the year began, it was expected that we would exceed last year's
earnings by 25 to 30 percent. This now appears to be a challenge, given the
economic conditions existing today and forecasted to continue throughout the
remainder of the year. While the Health Services market - our largest single
market, where we have 71 percent of our sales and revenues - is recession
resistant, it is not immune from a weak economy. Consumer confidence is
eroding nationally, and that will affect Life Retail sales along with all
other retailers. At Manufacturing and Marketing, our Lodging and Food Service
segments, along with Gaming (casinos) and Recreation (theme parks) may
experience weaker demands. The most significant factor affecting our
operating earnings, however, may not be on the revenue side, but rather on
the cost side. Our Textile Services segment has utility-intensive plants and
a large fleet of local and over-the-road vehicles. The continued increases in
the cost of energy, especially in California but not restricted to that
state, caused operating earnings to be lower than expectations. While we have
offset these a bit by better labor and linen management, as well as energy
surcharges to our customers, these savings are not sufficient to make up the
cost differences. It is likely that we will experience fuel increases for our
vehicles on a national basis this summer. We must reduce operating expenses
at the Manufacturing and Marketing and the Life Retail segments to reflect
their lower-than-planned sales levels as well.

We still expect to achieve double-digit earnings increases for the year,
despite the cost challenges that we are facing. To do this, we must continue
to reduce costs in all of our operations, avoid margin erosion, and grow our
revenues responsibly. It is extremely difficult to quantify the earnings
increase, given the uncertain economic conditions we are facing. At this
time, our goal is to achieve 15 to 20 percent earnings per share growth for
fiscal 2002. This will require hard work and intense attention to detail by
the management teams throughout our Company.

Now is the time for Angelica to build upon its position in the Health
Services market. We intend to expand our Textile Services operations in the
future and have identified the Southwest and the Carolinas as target markets
for us. These expansions will support our regional cluster strategy for this
business. The healthcare linen supply business will continue to consolidate,
and we are becoming ideally positioned to be a consolidator.

As we emerge from the slowdown in the economy and are able to incorporate the
increased costs of energy, I am confident that Angelica will add value for
our shareholders.

Respectfully submitted,
