                       QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 28, 2000



(1)    The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements are
       unaudited, and it is suggested that these consolidated statements be
       read in conjunction with the fiscal 2000 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 Quarterly
       Report to Shareholders for the quarter ended October 28, 2000, listed

       Quarterly Report to Shareholders which are not listed on the index

       to herein is located immediately following page 4 of this report.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS

                        AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                     QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 28, 2000

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

Combined sales and textile service revenues increased 0.3 percent in the
third quarter ended October 28, 2000, but were down 3.3 percent in the
first three quarters of the year compared with prior year periods.  This
is the first quarterly sales increase since the first quarter of fiscal
1999.  Consolidated net income increased 205.8 percent and 21.2 percent
for the third quarter and first three quarters, respectively.  Textile
Services segment revenues increased 1.7 percent in the third quarter,
the first quarterly revenue increase in nearly three years, as
investments made to revitalize the sales and marketing effort are
generating new business additions ahead of last year's pace.  Earnings
of this segment increased 88.5 percent in the third quarter and 16.6
percent in the first three quarters as a result of better management of
linen costs and productivity improvements from installation of labor-
saving equipment, offset in part by sharply higher energy costs.  Sales
of the Manufacturing and Marketing segment decreased 1.5 percent in the
third quarter and 6.9 percent in the first three quarters compared with
the same periods last year due largely to the lower level of large
customer rollout programs this year to date. Third quarter and first
three quarters earnings of this segment increased 28.8 percent and 0.6
percent, respectively, aided by improved gross margins from non-domestic
contract sourcing in the U.S. operations, and another strong quarter for
the recently combined Canadian operations.  Life Retail Stores had a 2.1
percent increase in third quarter sales, as a result of a 4.5 percent
same-store sales increase, offset by having 19 fewer stores than last
year.  During the third quarter, Life successfully entered the catalogue
and e-commerce distribution channels. Earnings decreased 11.6 percent
for the quarter and 34.8 percent for the first three quarters compared
to prior year periods.  The cost of entering the new distribution
channels has negatively affected short-term earnings, and the sales
increase of 2.6 percent in the first three quarters was insufficient to
overcome increases in wages and other costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 4.8 percent in
the third quarter compared with the same period last year.  These
expenses increased as a percent of combined sales and textile service
revenues from 24.1 percent to 25.2 percent in the third quarter. The
decline in sales in the Manufacturing and Marketing segment, the planned
increases in sales efforts in the Textile Services segment and
relocation of the Textile Services administrative offices contributed to
this increase.  Third quarter consolidated results continued to benefit
from lower interest expense as a result of lower debt balances and from
increased interest income due to higher cash balances.


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

The Company had working capital of $150,701,000 and a current ratio of
3.9 to 1 at October 28, 2000, compared with $142,504,000 and 3.9 to 1 a
year ago and up from $141,122,000 and 3.9 to 1 at the beginning of the
year. The ratio of long-term debt to debt-plus-equity was 34.4 percent
at the close of the quarter, down from 35.1 percent a year ago and 35.0
percent at the beginning of the year.

                                     3

<PAGE>

Operating activities provided a total cash flow of $15,216,000 in the
first three quarters compared with $20,201,000 in the first three
quarters last year.  This decrease is primarily due to increases in
inventories at the Manufacturing and Marketing segment for large program
rollouts scheduled for later in the fiscal year and at the Life Stores
segment to support the entry into the catalogue and e-commerce markets.
Cash used in investing activities was $1,879,000 compared with cash used
a year ago of $2,118,000. Capital expenditures have increased $2,000,000
in the current year, primarily for labor-saving equipment in the Textile
Services segment, offset by an increase in disposals of businesses and
property of $1,733,000, reflecting the sale-leaseback of a divisional
headquarters building in the third quarter.  Cash flows used in
financing activities reflect normal sinking fund payments of long-term
debt, payment of dividends and repurchase of stock.  Cash and short-term
investments totaled $22,393,000 at October 28, 2000, up from $14,260,000
a year ago and $15,651,000 at the beginning of the year.  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.

                                                           November 16, 2000
Dear Shareholder:

Third quarter earnings of $.23 per share were measurably better than $.07
per share in the third quarter last year. We are encouraged by this increase
but are disappointed that lower than expected Image Apparel sales and higher
than expected energy and labor costs negatively affected our ability to
improve quarterly results more substantially, given that last year's third
quarter financial performance was very weak.

Third quarter combined sales and textile service revenues were
$116,933,000, up 0.3 percent from $116,578,000 in last year's third quarter.
This is the first quarterly sales increase, albeit small, in ten quarters.
Pretax income increased substantially, $3,165,000 versus $1,051,000 in the
same period last year, and third quarter net income of $1,994,000 compared
with $652,000 last year. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2001,
combined sales and textile service revenues were 3.3 percent lower at
$341,831,000 compared with $353,497,000 in the same period last year.
However, pretax income rose to $8,536,000 from $7,158,000 last year, and net
income increased 21.2 percent to $5,378,000 compared with $4,438,000 in last
year's first three quarters. Earnings per share for the three quarters were
$.62 compared with $.51 in last year's first three quarters, an increase of
21.6 percent.

Revenues in the Textile Services segment in the third quarter were
$61,159,000 or 1.7 percent higher than the $60,139,000 last year. The
investments made to revitalize the sales and marketing effort are continuing
to be effective, and the difficult decisions made last year to combat margin
erosion which precipitated sales declines have proven to be the correct
strategy. This is the first quarter in almost three years where revenues
were higher than the comparable prior quarter. The annualized volume of new
business signed in the first three quarters was more than double the losses
of existing business in the same time period and nearly 40 percent higher
than new business additions in the first three quarters last year. Operating
earnings for the quarter increased 88.5 percent compared with the year ago
period, rising to $3,133,000 from $1,662,000. This is despite extraordinary
increases in electricity and natural gas costs which, for the most part, we
are finding difficult to pass along to our customers due to contract
conditions. (It should be noted that new contracts are being written keeping
in mind the need to pass along uncontrollable cost increases.) Earnings
continue to benefit from better management of linen costs and improved
productivity from our investments in labor-saving equipment. With the
improvements being experienced in results of the Textile Services segment,
we are now prepared to consider selective acquisitions and internal
expansion where appropriate. Product and service quality has improved
throughout this segment. It is essential that we continue to increase
operating margins in this business in order to be a positive partner with
major hospitals and our many other customers for the future.

At Manufacturing and Marketing, our bookings are gradually increasing and
the sales decline relative to the comparable prior year was lower in the
third quarter than it had been in either the second or first quarter this
year. Third quarter sales of $37,713,000 were 1.5 percent below prior year's
sales of $38,274,000. Despite a lower cost position resulting from improved
manufacturing and sourcing of our products, as well as improved customer
service, it is taking longer than expected for us to regain market share.
While we had expected large program rollouts to be a bigger factor in the
third quarter, some have been delayed, and sales from these programs are
expected to add to the top line in the fourth quarter this year and the
first quarter next year. Third quarter earnings increased significantly,
however, from $1,553,000 last year to $2,000,000 this year, an increase of
28.8 percent. In addition to improved margins due to better sourcing,
earnings benefited from the recently combined two

Canadian operations of this segment having another excellent quarter. The
quarter also marked a successful entry into the school uniform program this
year, and we are planning to grow revenues in this important new market in
fiscal 2002.

In the third quarter, sales of Life Retail Stores increased slightly to
$24,876,000 from $24,372,000 in the same period last year. Life had a
same-store sales increase of 4.5 percent in a relatively weak apparel retail
environment. The month of October was the fourteenth month in a row where
same-store sales have increased. We have 285 stores in operation compared to
304 stores this time last year, which had the effect of largely offsetting
the same-store sales increase. Earnings of $1,248,000 for the third quarter
were 11.6 percent below earnings of $1,411,000 in the third quarter last
year, but dramatically higher than the $146,000 earned in the second quarter
this year. During the third quarter, we successfully entered the catalogue
and e-commerce distribution channels. We were especially pleased that these
entries actually added to traffic in our stores. While short-term earnings
are negatively affected by the cost of entering the catalogue and e-commerce
distribution channels, long-term sales and earnings will benefit. Life
Retail now offers quality, fashion healthcare apparel in four significant
distribution channels: retail stores, on-the-job shopping events, catalogues
and e-commerce. Life Retail has also reduced its cost of goods through
astute purchasing and has increased margins, yet at the same time reduced
prices for their customers. We are planning to open thirteen new stores over
the next six months. Five of these will be in the Boston metropolitan area
where we, and the marketplace, are under-represented in healthcare apparel
retail stores. By entering new distribution channels, opening new stores,
continuing growth in same-store sales and better cost management, this
segment is expected to add more value in the future.

Third quarter consolidated earnings also benefited from interest income on
higher cash balances as well as lower interest expense. Operating cash flow
for the first three quarters was $15,216,000, and we ended the period with
$22,393,000 cash on hand. Also during the quarter, we repurchased another
45,000 shares of our stock under the previously announced program
authorizing the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares over three years. We
have repurchased a total of 95,600 shares so far this year and expect to buy
additional shares in the remainder of the year.

In summary, we are pleased to report an increase in earnings for the third
quarter, following a similar impressive increase in the second quarter. We
are confident that fiscal 2001 results will significantly exceed fiscal 2000
results, and we believe that we have the foundation for even better results
next year. Our goal to add shareholder value is still enthusiastically held
by all of the management teams and associates throughout your Company.

Respectfully submitted,
