                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                         QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 27, 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 October 27,
          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.

                             AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                         QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 27, 2001

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

     Combined sales and textile service revenues for the third quarter
     and first three quarters increased 0.7 percent and 2.9 percent,
     respectively, over the comparable prior year periods. This represents
     the fifth consecutive quarterly increase in combined sales and
     revenues. As was the case in the second quarter this year, an excellent
     performance was turned in by the Textile Services segment, however,
     sales and earnings of the manufacturing and retail business segments
     continued to be affected by the impact of the recessionary environment.
     Earnings per share of $.21 in the third quarter were slightly lower
     than $.23 last year, and earnings per share in the first three quarters
     of this year were $.48 compared with $.62 last year, a decline of 22.6
     percent.

     The Textile Services segment posted revenue and earnings gains as net
     new business continued to be added at record levels. Revenues of this
     segment increased 6.8 percent in the third quarter despite the loss
     of some revenue from hospitality customers due to the effect of the
     economy on that industry, and are up 7.6 percent for the year. Earnings
     increased 52.7 percent in the quarter and 26.4 percent in the first
     three quarters, aided by the higher revenues, increased plant
     productivity and improved linen management. Third quarter sales of the
     Manufacturing and Marketing segment decreased 7.2 percent and operating
     earnings fell by 74.3 percent compared to the same period a year ago.
     This segment was affected to a greater extent by the aftermath of the
     September terrorist attacks on sales to certain market segments, such
     as lodging, food service, gaming and recreation. Gross margins and
     earnings were negatively affected by the closing of another domestic
     manufacturing plant as well as a shift in sales mix to more
     lower-margin program business. The results benefited from a $1,072,000
     reduction in operating expenses in the quarter at Angelica Image
     Apparel, the domestic operations of this segment, due to the cost
     reduction initiatives implemented in the second and third quarters of
     this year. These cost reductions exceed $5,000,000 on an annualized
     basis. For the first three quarters of the year, earnings of the
     Manufacturing and Marketing segment were down 61.0 percent on a 2.6
     percent decline in sales. Third quarter sales at Life Retail Stores
     were down 3.8 percent as same-store sales declined 6.6 percent amid
     soft demand for retail apparel. Sales from the catalogue and e-commerce
     distribution channels increased substantially and reached breakeven
     level for the first time in the month of October. Sales for the first
     three quarters decreased 1.3 percent due to a same-store sales decline
     of 3.6 percent. Operating earnings of $812,000 in the third quarter
     were 34.9 percent below the same period last year. However, this
     represents a turnaround from the $712,000 operating loss recorded in
     the second quarter of this year and brought the segment to breakeven
     for the year. Gross margins and earnings have benefited from greater
     control over promotional markdowns and advertising expense.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 1.2 percent in
     the third quarter compared with the same period last year. As a percent
     of combined sales and textile service revenues, these expenses
     decreased from 25.2 percent to 24.7 percent in the quarter reflecting


                                     3

     the operating expense reductions implemented in the Manufacturing and
     Marketing segment. Interest expense was lower by $268,000 in the
     quarter due mainly to prepayment of debt, but was partially offset by
     reduced interest income on less invested cash and lower investment
     rates.

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

     The Company continues to maintain a strong balance sheet. During the
     third quarter, all of the $25,000,000 of 9.15 percent debt maturing
     on December 31, 2001 was prepaid using proceeds from a $12,000,000
     three-year bank loan plus cash. Concentrated efforts to reduce
     inventories have yielded declines of $4,109,000 and $7,594,000 in the
     third quarter and first three quarters, respectively. Linens in service
     have been reduced by $389,000 since the beginning of the year despite
     the added volume in the Textile Services segment. Working capital of
     $134,027,000 and a current ratio of 3.5 to 1 at October 27, 2001 were
     both healthy.

     Cash generated from operations of $16,348,000 in the first three
     quarters was $1,132,000 greater than the comparable prior year period.
     This increase was due principally to the reduction in inventories and
     linens in service offset in part by cash used in the first quarter this
     year to pay for the inventory build-up in last year's fourth quarter in
     the Manufacturing and Marketing segment. Capital expenditures increased
     $3,164,000 in the current year, primarily to support productivity
     improvements and energy efficiency in the Textile Services segment and
     for investments in new Life Retail stores and supporting information
     systems. The $9,705,000 increase in cash used in financing activities
     compared to last year reflects the use of $13,000,000 of cash for the
     debt prepayment less a reduction in dividends paid. Despite the debt
     repayment, the Company ended the quarter with a strong cash balance on
     hand of $10,019,000.

     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:

Third quarter earnings per share of $.21 were slightly less than $.23 per
share in the third quarter last year. Our largest segment, Textile Services,
recorded impressive revenue and earnings increases; however, these were
insufficient to counter the economic weakness affecting both the
Manufacturing and Marketing and the Life Retail Stores segments. Given the
very weak economic conditions existing in many of the market segments that
we serve, exacerbated by the senseless acts of terrorism our country
experienced in the past two months, the results achieved are a testimony to
the hard work done by the management teams in each of our business segments.

Combined sales and textile service revenues were $119,078,000 in the third
quarter compared with $118,277,000 in the same period last year, an increase
of 0.7 percent. Pretax income was $2,819,000 versus $3,165,000 last year,
and net income decreased 9.5 percent to $1,805,000 from $1,994,000 in last
year's third quarter. For the first three quarters of this fiscal year,
combined sales and textile service revenues increased 2.9 percent to
$355,553,000 compared with $345,469,000 last year. Pretax income was
$6,482,000 compared with $8,536,000 for the comparable period last year. Net
income decreased 22.9 percent to $4,149,000 from $5,378,000 in the prior
year period, and earnings per share for the three quarters were $.48
compared with $.62 last year.

As was the case in the second quarter, the Textile Services segment had a
very strong quarter in terms of revenues and especially earnings. These
increases were achieved despite some revenue losses at non-healthcare
customers as a result of the weak economy. Revenues in this segment
increased 6.8 percent to $65,336,000 compared with $61,159,000 in the third
quarter last year. Operating earnings increased 52.7 percent in the quarter
to $4,785,000 compared with $3,133,000 last year. In comparing the first
three quarters of this year to last, revenues have increased by $13,899,000
or 7.6 percent, and earnings have increased by $2,999,000 or 26.4 percent.
Plant productivity increases, continued improvement in linen management plus
more efficient use of energy propelled strong earnings increases from
satisfactory revenue gains. As stated in a previous report to you, we intend
to reinvest in this segment and have received approval from the Board of
Directors to build a new laundry processing facility in the southwestern
part of the United States. Paul Anderegg, Textile Services President, and Ed
Ryan, Executive Vice President of Marketing, and the rest of the management
team of this segment are to be complimented on the impressive turnaround
they have led.

In the third quarter, the Manufacturing and Marketing segment's sales
(before intersegment sales) declined 7.2 percent to $36,260,000 compared
with $39,057,000 last year. Operating earnings fell to $514,000 compared
with $2,000,000 in the same quarter last year, a decline of 74.3 percent.
Despite these disappointing results, it should be noted that the management
team reduced expenses considerably in the third quarter relative to the
run-rate for the first half of the year. On an annualized basis, operating
expenses and cost of sales reductions exceed $5,000,000. Another positive
factor was the reduction in segment inventories to $68,239,000, down from
$74,923,000 at the beginning of this year. It has been a painful year for
the management team of Angelica Image Apparel, the domestic operations of
Manufacturing and Marketing. However, the weak economic conditions,
beginning in the fourth quarter of last year and intensifying as the new
year unfolded, made cost reduction actions absolutely necessary. Had it not
been for some strong sales and marketing efforts to add new customers, sales
levels would have fallen even further than they did. Many of the market
segments served by Manufacturing and Marketing have been severely affected
by current business conditions, and the outlook for the remainder of the
year is guarded as well. While the fourth quarter

may be challenging for the Canadian operations too, because of their focus
on lodging, they have had impressive sales and earnings increases in the
first three quarters compared to last year. Helen Loader, President of the
Canadian operations, and her management team continue to maintain market
leadership in the premium and upscale lodging markets. Undoubtedly, the
string of earnings increases the Manufacturing and Marketing segment has
achieved in each of the preceding three fiscal years will not be continued
this year.

The lack of consumer confidence currently prevalent in our country that is
negatively affecting apparel retailers generally caused a 6.6 percent
same-store sales decline at Life Retail in the third quarter, the second
quarterly decline in a row. Fortunately, we did have excellent increases in
our catalogue and e-commerce sales as customers chose to "call-in and
log-on" as opposed to "coming in" to retail locations. Overall, third
quarter sales declined 3.8 percent to $23,930,000 compared with $24,876,000
last year. This segment had operating earnings of $812,000 compared with
$1,248,000 in last year's third quarter. The current quarter's earnings
compared favorably to the loss of $712,000 incurred in the second quarter
this year. Gross margins have continued to improve, reflecting "fresher"
merchandise in the stores and fewer markdowns. Life added three stores
shortly after quarter end as a consequence of an opportunistic acquisition
in the Las Vegas, NV marketplace and currently has a total of 287 stores.

During the quarter, we prepaid all of the $25,000,000 of long-term debt due
at the end of December. We used $13,000,000 of cash and $12,000,000 from a
three-year bank loan to pay down this debt. Interest costs in the second
half of the year will be reduced by $384,000, offset by less interest income
as a result of less invested cash and lower investment rates. We are also
pleased that total inventories, which were higher than we would have liked
at the beginning of the year, have been reduced by $7,594,000 as of the end
of the third quarter.

The segment management teams and the corporate management team are hard at
work developing our new three-year strategic plan. I must admit that the
crystal ball is pretty cloudy for all of us. All indications are that it
will be a number of months before any economic recovery begins. Fortunately,
a high percentage of Angelica's activities are centered in the healthcare
services industry, one that is less affected by reduction in travel and
cutbacks in consumer spending. During this planning process we are
critically evaluating the structural changes that are occurring in each of
our business segments. We continue to evaluate alternative ways of adding
shareholder value, recognizing that the world of business has been changed
inexorably forever and that some proven practices of the past are no longer
applicable. Making changes to practices that are now ineffective and
inefficient is a long process and an arduous task, but it must be
accomplished. We are committed to making these changes while minimizing
risks as much as feasible. We realize that many of the dislocations that
will occur are unavoidable, but they still must be implemented with
sensitivity for our associates and customers.

I must, once again, reduce our earnings expectations for the year. It now
appears that we will earn between $.55 and $.60 per share. I do believe,
however, that the steps we are taking will put us in excellent position to
earn significantly more than this in the next fiscal year, with increases in
the years following that.

Respectfully submitted,
