ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
  Unless otherwise expressly indicated herein, the descriptions of the Company
contained herein are as of March 31, 1998 and do not give effect to the
acquisitions of all of the common stock of (i) Cleanco, Inc. and of its
affiliates completed in May 1998 or (ii) Gordon & Thomas Companies, Inc.
completed in June 1998. For a description of such acquisitions, see
"Business--General Development of Business--Recent Developments".
 
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
 
 GENERAL
 
  Coinmach Laundry Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Coinmach Laundry" or
the "Registrant"), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company"), is the leading supplier of outsourced laundry equipment services
for multi-family housing properties in the United States. At March 31, 1998,
the Company owned and operated approximately 680,000 washers and dryers
(sometimes hereinafter referred to as "machines") in approximately 70,000
locations on routes located throughout the United States and in 150 retail
laundromats located throughout Texas. The Company, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Super Laundry Equipment Corp. ("Super Laundry"), is also a
laundromat equipment distribution company.
 
 OVERVIEW
 
  The outsourced laundry equipment services industry provides washer and dryer
services to individuals living in multi-family housing properties. The
Company's core business involves leasing laundry rooms from building owners
and property management companies, installing and servicing the laundry
equipment and collecting revenues generated from laundry machines. The Company
typically sets pricing for the use of laundry machines on location, and the
owner or property manager maintains the premises and provides utilities such
as gas, electricity and water.
 
  The Company's existing customer base for its core business is comprised of
landlords, property management companies, and owners of rental apartment
buildings, condominiums and cooperatives, university and institutional housing
and other multi-family housing properties. Management believes, based on its
knowledge of the industry, that the Company is the largest supplier of
outsourced laundry equipment services for multi-family housing properties
throughout the United States.
 
  As a result of its strategy to acquire route operators that contribute to
the Company's core operations, the Company has also selectively acquired
certain related businesses which expand and diversify the types of services
provided by the Company. As a result of the Kwik-Wash Acquisition (as
defined), the Company operates 150 retail laundromats throughout Texas and
provides laundromat services at all such locations. In connection with the
Appliance Warehouse Acquisition and the Macke Acquisition, the Company also
leases laundry equipment and other household appliances to corporate
relocation entities, individuals, property owners and managers of multi-family
housing properties. The Company believes that these non-core businesses,
although not material to the Company's operations, provide a significant
platform for expansion and diversification of the Company's services. See
"Business--Description of Business--Complementary Operations".
 
  The Company maintains its headquarters in Roslyn, New York, a corporate
office in Charlotte, North Carolina and regional offices throughout the United
States through which it conducts operating activities, including sales,
service and collections.
 
 BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
  The Company's business strategy is to enhance its position as the largest
provider of outsourced laundry equipment services in the United States.
Management intends to continue to grow the Company's installed
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
 
machine base both internally and through selective acquisitions to achieve
economies of scale, increase its operating efficiencies and improve its
financial performance. Internal growth is comprised of: (i) adding new
customers in existing regions and securing contracts for additional locations
from current customers; (ii) converting owner-operated facilities to Company
managed facilities; (iii) improving the net contribution per machine through
operating efficiencies and selective price increases; and (iv) pursuing
additional growth opportunities presented by the Company's leading market
position and access to approximately six million individual housing units. The
Company's acquisition strategy is to continue to selectively acquire local,
regional and multi-regional route businesses from independent operators at
attractive prices. The Company is currently evaluating several acquisition
opportunities; however, there can be no assurance that, subsequent to ongoing
negotiations and due diligence reviews, the Company will complete any such
acquisitions.
 
  An important element of the Company's business strategy is to continue to
expand its geographic presence to gain additional regional and multi-regional
account opportunities with large multi-family housing property managers and
owners. Management believes that a significant portion of its customer base,
which manages multi-family housing and other residential properties, is
consolidating. Consequently, management believes that opportunities for
outsourcing laundry equipment services to professionally managed, multi-
regional, well-capitalized independent operators such as the Company are
increasing.
 
  The Company's business strategy also includes the continued development of
its management information systems (the "Integrated Computer Systems"), which
management believes are the most advanced in the industry. The Integrated
Computer Systems provide real-time operational and competitive data which, in
conjunction with the Company's multi-regional service capabilities, enhance
the Company's operating efficiencies throughout its regions and enable the
Company to deliver superior customer service. The Integrated Computer Systems
also provide the Company with the flexibility to integrate acquisitions on a
timely basis, including key functions such as sales, service, collections and
security. Finally, as the industry leader, the Company works closely with its
equipment vendors to assess ongoing technological changes and implements those
which the Company believes are beneficial to its customers and to the
Company's operating efficiencies and financial performance.
 
  In January 1995, management, with its equity sponsor, Golder, Thoma,
Cressey, Rauner Fund IV, L.P., acquired the Company and initiated a strategy
of growth through acquisitions. This strategy was designed to increase the
installed machine base in its existing operating regions and to provide the
Company with a strong market presence in new regions. Since January 1995, the
Company has enhanced its national presence by completing eight significant
acquisitions, adding annualized revenue of approximately $353 million and
increasing its installed base from approximately 55,000 machines to
approximately 680,000 machines as of March 31, 1998. Revenues and EBITDA(/1/)
have grown from approximately $72.9 million and approximately $13.6 million,
respectively, for the year ended March 31, 1995, to approximately $324.9
million and approximately $101.4 million (before deducting non-cash stock
based compensation charges), respectively, for the year ended March 31, 1998.
These acquisitions have enabled the Company to improve its operating margins
and to expand internally by competing more aggressively for new business.

--------
(/1/) EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before deductions
      for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA for the
      period ending March 31, 1998 is before the deduction for stock based
      compensation charges. EBITDA is used by management and certain investors
      as an indicator of a company's historical ability to service debt.
      Management believes that an increase in EBITDA is an indication of a
      company's improved ability to service existing debt, to sustain potential
      future increases in debt and to satisfy capital requirements. However,
      EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor has it
      been presented as an alternative to either (a) operating income (as
      determined by generally accepted accounting principles) as an indicator of
      operating performance or (b) cash flows from operating, investing and
      financing activities (as determined by generally accepted accounting
      principles) as a measure of liquidity. Given that EBITDA is not a
      measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
      principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA as
      presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of
      other companies.


                                             3

 GROWTH STRATEGY
 
  The Company's growth strategy is to increase operating cash flow and
profitability through a combination of internal expansion and acquisitions.
 
  Internal Expansion. Internal expansion is comprised of: (i) increasing the
installed machine base by adding new customers (including the acquisition of
certain small, local route operations) and increasing the number of locations
with existing customers; (ii) converting owner-operated facilities to Company
managed facilities, (iii) improving the net contribution per machine through
operating efficiencies and selective price increases; and (iv) pursuing
additional growth opportunities presented by its leading market position and
access to approximately six million individual housing units.
 
    New Customers and Locations. The Company's sales and marketing efforts
  focus on two areas of expansion within its existing operating regions. The
  Company's primary means of internal expansion is by marketing the Company's
  products and services to building managers and property owners whose leases
  with other laundry equipment services providers are near expiration. The
  Company's Integrated Computer Systems track information on the lease
  expirations of its competitors. The Company believes that its leading
  market position and expanding geographic presence, primarily achieved
  through acquisitions, enhances its ability to gain new customers and
  additional locations from its existing customers.
 
    Conversions. Management believes that there are approximately 1.0 million
  machines installed in locations which continue to be managed by owner-
  operators. Building owners or managers can forgo significant cash outlays
  and servicing costs by contracting with the Company to purchase, service
  and maintain laundry equipment. Accordingly, the Company pursues building
  owners and managers to outsource their laundry facilities. The Company
  offers a full range of services from the design, construction and
  installation of new laundry facilities to the refurbishment of existing
  facilities. Management believes these services provide a competitive
  advantage in securing new customers.
 
    Operating Efficiencies and Price Increases. The Company focuses on
  improving its net contribution per machine through achieving operating
  efficiencies and selective price increases. Due to local competition and
  other factors beyond the Company's control, however, there can be no
  assurance that such efficiencies or price increases will occur.
 
    Other Growth Opportunities. While management intends to continue its
  focus on increasing its installed machine base, management believes that
  its leading market position and its access to over six million housing
  units provides the Company with additional growth and diversification
  opportunities. These opportunities include laundry equipment rental as well
  as other route-based facilities management services. In addition, the
  Company is discussing the formation of certain strategic alliances with
  vendors of products complementary to its customer base.
 
  Management believes that its strategy of growth within its existing
operating regions will result in additional economies of scale and operating
efficiencies associated with an expanded machine base. Such growth, however,
will be dependent upon a number of factors beyond the Company's control, such
as the Company's ability to secure new contracts from owner-operators on
commercially favorable terms and competitive forces that may reduce the number
of opportunities to secure new locations or to effect price increases.
 
  Acquisitions. The Company intends to continue to capitalize on opportunities
within the fragmented outsourced laundry equipment services industry through
selective acquisitions of additional route businesses. It has been the
Company's experience that there are numerous private, family-owned businesses
that often lack the financial resources to provide advance location payments,
install new equipment, make laundry room improvements or otherwise compete
effectively with larger independent operators such as the Company to secure
new or existing contracts. Consequently, such independent operators,
especially those which are undergoing generational ownership changes,
represent potential acquisition opportunities for the Company.
 
  Management believes the Company is well positioned to capitalize on
acquisition opportunities due to its operating efficiencies, its access to
capital resources and senior management's extensive experience and
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
relationships in the industry. The Company evaluates potential acquisitions
based on the size of the business (in terms of revenues, cash flow and machine
base), the geographic concentration of the business, market penetration,
service history, customer relations, existing contract terms and potential
operating efficiencies and cost savings. The Company considers three types of
acquisition candidates: (i) local route operators; (ii) regional route
operators; and (iii) multi-regional route operators.
 
    Local route operators. The purchase of local operators (businesses
  operating within one of the Company's existing operating regions) results
  in eliminating most of the target's existing cost structure through the
  absorption of its machine base into the Company's operations. The Company's
  experience has been that the acquisition of local route operators has
  increased operating leverage within its operating regions. Moreover, the
  Company is able in many instances to acquire routes adjacent to its
  existing areas of operation without incurring significant incremental
  operating costs.
 
    Regional route operators. The Company's acquisition of regional route
  operators provides opportunities to improve its cash flow by eliminating
  duplicative corporate and administrative functions, reducing capital
  expenditures through improved purchasing power and implementing the
  Company's Integrated Computer Systems. During the past fiscal year, the
  Company completed the ALI Acquisition, the Reliable Acquisition and the
  National Coin Acquisition (each, as defined). All three of these
  acquisitions have been substantially integrated into the Company's
  operations.
 
    Multi-regional route operators. Management believes that the acquisition
  of large, multi-regional route operators results in a number of operating
  efficiencies, including significant cost savings through the elimination of
  duplicative financial and administrative functions and related fixed costs.
  In addition, the increased volume of equipment purchases usually results in
  reduced per unit capital expenditures. As is the case with all
  acquisitions, the Company's Integrated Computer Systems are utilized to
  provide further operating efficiencies and related cost savings. The Kwik
  Wash Acquisition (as defined) and the Macke Acquisition (as defined) are
  examples of multi-regional acquisitions which enabled the Company to
  substantially increase its operating base, add several experienced regional
  managers, penetrate new markets and, along with the aforementioned regional
  acquisitions, become the largest industry participant. Based on its
  experience in recent acquisitions, management expects to integrate
  substantially all of the operations formerly conducted by Macke (as
  defined) into the Company's operations during the first half of the year
  ending March 31, 1999 and to achieve targeted cost savings as a result of
  such integration. However, such integration and cost savings are dependent
  on a number of factors beyond the Company's control, and, accordingly, no
  assurance can be given that the Company will effect such integration and
  targeted cost savings within such time period.
 
 INDUSTRY
 
  The outsourced laundry equipment services industry is characterized by
stable cash flows generated by long-term, renewable lease contracts with
multi-family housing property owners and management companies. The industry is
highly fragmented, with many small, private and family-owned route businesses
continuing to operate throughout all major metropolitan areas. According to
information provided by the Multi-housing Laundry Association, the industry
consists of over 280 independent operators. Based upon industry estimates,
management believes there are approximately 3.5 million installed machines in
multi-family properties throughout the United States, approximately 2.5
million of which have been outsourced to independent operators such as the
Company and approximately 1.0 million of which continue to be operated by the
owners of such locations.
 
  The industry is highly capital intensive, and customers require prompt and
reliable service. The majority of capital costs are incurred upon procurement
of new leases. Initial costs may include replacing or repairing existing
washers and dryers, refurbishing laundry rooms and making advance location
payments to secure long-term, renewable leases. After the initial
expenditures, ongoing working capital requirements are minimal, since machines
operate throughout the term of the contract under which they are installed if
serviced properly, and variable costs are paid out of revenues collected from
the machines.
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
 
  Historically, the industry has been characterized by stable demand and has
proven to be resistant to changing market conditions and general economic
cycles. Management believes that the industry's consistent and predictable
revenue and cash flow from operations are primarily due to: (i) the long-term
nature of location leases; (ii) the stable demand for laundry services; and
(iii) minimal ongoing working capital requirements.
 
 DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPAL OPERATIONS
 
  The principal aspects of the Company's operations include: (i) sales and
marketing; (ii) location leases; (iii) service; (iv) information management;
(v) remanufacturing and (vi) collection security.
 
  Sales and Marketing. The Company markets its products and services through a
sales staff with an average industry experience of over ten years. The
principal responsibility of the sales staff is to solicit and negotiate lease
arrangements with building owners and managers. All sales personnel are paid
commissions that comprise 50% or more of their annual compensation. Selling
commissions are based on a percentage of a location's annualized earnings
before interest and taxes. Sales personnel must be proficient with the
application of sophisticated financial analyses which calculate minimum
returns on investments to achieve the Company's targeted goals in securing
location contracts and renewals. Management believes that its sales staff is
among the most competent and effective in the industry.
 
  The Company's marketing strategy emphasizes service excellence offered by
its experienced, highly skilled personnel and its quality equipment that
maximizes efficiency and revenue and minimizes machine down-time.
Additionally, the Integrated Computer Systems monitor performance, repairs and
maintenance, as well as the profitability of locations on a daily basis. The
Company's sales staff targets potential new and renewal lease locations by
utilizing its Integrated Computer Systems' extensive database that provides
information on the Company's, as well as its competitors', locations. All
sales activity, from sale entries to data on service and installation, is
recorded and monitored daily on a custom-designed, computerized sales planner.
 
  No single customer represents more than 2% of the Company's revenues or
installed machine base. In addition, the Company's ten largest customers taken
together account for less than 10% of the Company's revenue.
 
  Location Leasing. The Company's leases provide the Company the exclusive
right to operate and service the laundry equipment, including repairs, revenue
collection and maintenance. The Company typically sets pricing for the use of
the machines on location, and the property owner or property manager maintains
the premises and provides utilities such as gas, electricity and water.
 
  In return for the exclusive right to provide laundry equipment services,
most of the Company's leases provide for monthly commission payments to the
location owners. Under the majority of leases, these commissions are based on
a percentage of the cash collected from the laundry machines. Many of the
Company's leases require the Company to make advance location payments to the
location owner in addition to commissions. The Company's leases typically
include provisions that allow for unrestricted price increases, a right of
first refusal (an opportunity to match competitive bids at the expiration of
the lease term) and termination rights if the Company does not receive minimum
net revenues from a lease. The Company has some flexibility in negotiating its
leases and, subject to local and regional competitive factors, may vary the
terms and conditions of a lease, including commission rates and advance
location payments. The Company evaluates each lease opportunity through its
Integrated Computer Systems, which are designed to achieve certain targeted
levels of return on investments.
 
  Management estimates that approximately 90% of its locations are under long-
term leases with initial terms of five to ten years. Of the remaining
locations not subject to long term leases, the Company believes that it has
retained a majority of such customers through long-standing relationships and
intends to continue to service such customers. A majority of the Company's
leases renew automatically, and the Company has a right of first refusal on
termination on approximately 40% of its leases. The Company's automatic
renewal clause typically provides
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
 
that, if the building owner fails to take any action prior to the end of the
original lease term or any renewal term, the lease will automatically renew on
substantially similar terms. As of March 31, 1998, the Company's leases have
an average remaining life to maturity of approximately 48 months (without
giving effect to automatic renewals).
 
  Service
 
  The Company's employees deliver, install, service and collect revenue from
washers and dryers in laundry facilities at its leased locations.
 
  The Company's fleet of 554 radio-equipped service vehicles allows the quick
dispatch of service technicians in response to both computer-generated (for
preventive maintenance) and customer-generated service calls. On a daily
basis, the Company receives and responds to approximately 3,000 service calls.
Management estimates that less than 1% of the Company's machines are out of
service on any given day. The ability to reduce machine down time, especially
during peak usage, serves to enhance revenue and improve the Company's
reputation with its customers.
 
  In a business that emphasizes prompt and efficient service, management
believes that the Company's Integrated Computer Systems provide a significant
competitive advantage in terms of responding promptly to customer needs.
Computer-generated service calls for preventive maintenance are based on
previous service history, repeat service call analysis and monitoring of
service areas. These operations coordinate the Company's radio-equipped
service vehicles that allow the Company to address customer needs quickly and
efficiently.
 
  Remanufacturing
 
  The Company's remanufacturing operations provide approximately one-third of
its anticipated annual machine installation requirements. The Company rebuilds
and reinstalls a portion of its machines at approximately one-third the cost
of acquiring new machines, providing significant cost savings. Remanufactured
machines are restored to virtually new condition with the same estimated
average life and service requirements as new machines. Machines that can no
longer be remanufactured are added to the Company's inventory of spare parts.
 
  The Company maintains four regional remanufacturing facilities which provide
for consistent machine quality and efficient operations and are strategically
located to service each of its operating regions.
 
  Collection/Security
 
  Management believes that it provides the highest level of collection
security control in the outsourced laundry equipment services industry. The
Company utilizes numerous precautionary procedures with respect to cash
collection, including frequent alteration of collection patterns, extensive
monitoring of collections and other control mechanisms. The Company enforces
stringent employee standards and screening procedures for prospective
employees. Employees responsible for or who have access to the collection of
funds are tested randomly and frequently. Additionally, the Company's security
department performs trend and variance analyses of daily collections by
location. Security personnel monitor locations, conduct investigations, and
implement additional security procedures as necessary.
 
  Information Management. The Company's Integrated Computer Systems serve
three major functions: (i) tracing the service cycle of equipment; (ii)
monitoring revenues and costs by location, customer and salesperson; and (iii)
providing information on competitors' lease renewal schedules.
 
  The Integrated Computer Systems provide speed and accuracy throughout the
entire service cycle by integrating the functions of service call entry,
dispatching service personnel, parts and equipment purchasing, installation,
distribution and collection. In addition to coordinating all aspects of the
service cycle, the
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
Company's Integrated Computer Systems track contract performance, which
indicate potential machine problems or pilferage and provide data to forecast
future equipment servicing requirements.
 
  Data on machine performance is used by the sales staff to forecast revenue
by location. Management is able to obtain daily, monthly, quarterly and annual
reports on location performance, coin collection, service and sales activity
by salesperson.
 
  The Integrated Computer Systems also provide the sales staff with an
extensive database essential to the Company's marketing strategy to obtain new
business through competitive bidding or owner-operator conversion
opportunities.
 
  Management also believes that the Integrated Computer Systems enhance the
Company's ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses into its
existing operations. Regional or multi-regional acquisitions have typically
been integrated within 90 to 120 days, while a local acquisition can be
integrated almost immediately.
 
 COMPLEMENTARY OPERATIONS
 
  In addition to supplying outsourced laundry equipment services, the Company
has expanded its breadth of operations to related, complementary lines of
businesses:
 
  Individual Multi-Housing Units. Through the recent Macke Acquisition and the
Appliance Warehouse Acquisition (each, as defined), the Company entered the
business of renting laundry equipment and other household appliances and
electronic items to corporate relocation entities, individuals, property
owners and managers of multi-family housing properties. With access to
approximately six million individual housing units, the Company believes its
new business line represents an opportunity for growth in a new market segment
which is complementary to its core business.
 
  Laundromat Equipment Distribution. Super Laundry, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Coinmach Corporation, is a laundromat equipment distribution company. Super
Laundry's business consists of constructing complete turnkey laundromat retail
stores, retrofitting existing laundromat retail stores, distributing exclusive
lines of commercial coin and non-coin operated machines and parts, and selling
service contracts. Super Laundry's customers generally enter into sales
contracts pursuant to which Super Laundry constructs and equips a complete
laundromat operation, including location identification, construction,
plumbing, electrical wiring and all required permits.
 
  Retail Laundromat Operations. The Company operates 150 retail laundromats
located throughout Texas, which were acquired in the Kwik Wash Acquisition.
The operation of the retail laundromats involves leasing store locations in
desired geographic areas, maintaining an approximate mix of washers and dryers
at each store location and servicing the washers and dryers at such locations.
The Company is also responsible for maintaining the premises at each
laundromat and paying for utilities and related expenses.
 
 COMPETITION
 
  The outsourced laundry equipment services industry is highly competitive,
capital intensive and requires reliable, quality service. Despite the overall
fragmentation of the industry, the Company believes there are currently three
companies including the Company with significant operations in multiple
regions throughout the United States. The two other major multi-regional
competitors are Web Service Company, Inc. and Mac-Gray Corp.
 
 EMPLOYEES
 
  As of March 31, 1998, the Company employed 1,850 full time employees
(including 315 laundromat attendants in the Company's retail laundromats in
Texas). Approximately 140 hourly workers in the Northeast
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
region are represented by Local 966, affiliated with the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters (the "Union"). Management believes that the Company
has maintained a good relationship with the Union employees and has never
experienced a work stoppage since its inception.
 
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

 SELECTED HISTORICAL ACQUISITIONS
 
  On January 8, 1997, Coinmach completed the acquisition of Kwik Wash
Laundries, L.P. and certain related parties (the "Kwik Wash Acquisition") for
a purchase price consisting of approximately $125 million in cash, excluding
transaction expenses, and a $15 million promissory note (the "Kwik Wash Note")
issued by Coinmach Laundry. The Kwik Wash Acquisition increased the Company's
presence in the South-Central region by adding approximately 74,000 machines
to the Company's base and enabled the Company to provide outsourced laundry
equipment services to multi-family housing properties in Texas, Louisiana,
Arkansas and Oklahoma and to operate 150 retail laundromats throughout Texas.
 
  On March 14, 1997, Coinmach acquired substantially all of the assets of
Atlanta Washer & Dryer Leasing, Inc. (d/b/a Appliance Warehouse) for
approximately $6.3 million in cash and promissory notes (the "AW Notes")
issued by Coinmach Laundry aggregating $1.2 million (the "Appliance Warehouse
Acquisition"). The Appliance Warehouse Acquisition increased the Company's
presence in the South by adding approximately 14,000 machines to the Company's
base and expanding the Company's core operations into the related machine
rental market, creating valuable operating synergies for the Company. The
holders of the AW Notes are able to convert the AW Notes into a specified
number of shares of Common Stock at any time after March 14, 1998, subject to
the terms and conditions of the AW Notes. As of May 29, 1998, none of the AW
Notes had been converted into shares of Common Stock.
 
  On April 23, 1997, Coinmach completed the acquisition (the "Reliable
Acquisition") of Reliable Holding Corp., Reliable Laundry Service Inc.,
Girard-Hopkins Acquisition Corp., Maquilados Automaticas S.A. de C.V. and
Automatica S.A. de C.V. and certain other related parties for a cash purchase
price of approximately $44 million, excluding transaction expenses. The
Reliable Acquisition was financed through borrowings under the Company's then
existing credit facility. The Reliable Acquisition provided the Company with a
strong foothold in the California market and added approximately 49,000
machines to the Company's machine base.
 
  On July 17, 1997, Coinmach completed the acquisition of National Laundry
Equipment Company, Whitmer Vend-O-Mat Laundry Services, Inc. and certain other
related parties (the "National Coin Acquisition") for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $19 million, excluding transaction expenses. The
National Coin Acquisition, which was financed through borrowings under the
Company's then existing credit facility, enabled the Company to further expand
its operations by providing laundry equipment services to multi-family housing
properties in the states of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Georgia, Tennessee, Illinois and Florida, as well as by
distributing exclusive lines of commercial coin and non-coin laundry machines
and parts.
 
  On January 15, 1998, Coinmach completed the acquisition of the route
business of Apartment Laundries, Inc., ("ALI") (the "ALI Acquisition")
pursuant to which Coinmach acquired substantially all the assets of ALI for a
cash purchase price of $16.2 million, excluding transaction expenses, and
financed through working capital and borrowings under the Company's then
existing credit facility. ALI provided outsourced laundry equipment services
for multi-family housing units in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Arkansas.
 
  On March 2, 1998, Coinmach completed the acquisition (the "Macke
Acquisition") of Macke Laundry Service, L.P. and substantially all of the
assets of certain related entities (collectively, "Macke") for a cash purchase
price of approximately $213 million, excluding transaction expenses. The Macke
Acquisition was financed with cash and borrowings under the Amended and
Restated Credit Facility (as defined) which was amended and restated in
connection with such acquisition to provide for additional borrowing capacity
on substantially similar terms as its then existing credit facility. The Macke
Acquisition enabled the Company to further expand its route operations by
providing outsourced laundry equipment services to multi-family housing
properties throughout the United States and added approximately 236,000
machines to the Company's base. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources--Financing Activities--Amended and Restated Credit Facility".

 RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
  On May 19, 1998, Coinmach completed the acquisition (the "Cleanco
Acquisition") of Cleanco, Inc. and certain of its affiliates ("Cleanco") for a
cash purchase price of approximately $21.0 million (excluding transaction
expenses), financed with cash and borrowings under the Amended and Restated
Credit Facility. Cleanco, headquartered in Miami, Florida, was a leading
provider of coin-operated laundry equipment services in southern Florida,
generating approximately $10.0 million in revenues and $3.6 million in EBITDA,
as adjusted for certain non-recurring items, for its fiscal year ended
December 31, 1997. The Cleanco Acquisition added approximately 21,000 machines
to the Company's installed base.
 
  On June 5, 1998, Coinmach acquired all of the common stock of Gordon &
Thomas Companies, Inc. ("G&T") for a cash purchase price of approximately $58
million (excluding transaction expenses) and the assumption of certain
liabilities. This transaction was financed with cash and borrowings under the
Amended and Restated Credit Facility. G&T, headquartered in New Jersey, was a
leading provider of outsourced laundry equipment services in the New York
metropolitan area, generating approximately $40 million in revenues and $10.3
million in EBITDA, as adjusted for certain non-recurring items, for its fiscal
year ended September 30, 1997. This transaction is expected to strengthen the
Company's presence in the northeastern United States by adding approximately
36,000 machines to the Company's installed base.
 
  At a Special Meeting of Stockholders of Coinmach Laundry Corporation (the
"Special Meeting") held on June 9, 1998, the Company approved proposals to
amend the Company's Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to
increase the number of Coinmach Laundry Corporation's authorized Common Stock
from 15,000,000 to 35,000,000 shares and to increase the number of Coinmach
Laundry Corporation's authorized Series Preferred Stock from 1,000,000 to
20,000,000 shares. Both proposals were approved by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to
vote at the Special Meeting. The record date for purposes of determining
stockholders of the Company entitled to receive notice of and vote at the
Special Meeting was May 19, 1998.
 
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
 
  As of March 31, 1998, the Company leases 59 offices throughout its operating
regions serving various operational purposes, including sales and service
activities, collections and warehousing.
 
  The Company presently maintains its headquarters in Roslyn, New York,
leasing approximately 40,000 square feet pursuant to a five year lease
terminating April 30, 2001. The Company's Roslyn facility is used for general
and administrative purposes and is the operational headquarters for the
Northeast regional branch. The Company has an option to purchase the Roslyn
facility, which it presently does not intend to exercise.
 
  The Company also maintains a corporate office in Charlotte, North Carolina,
leasing approximately 3,000 square feet pursuant to a five year lease.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
  The Company and its predecessors have been named as defendants in a number
of legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the
amount of any liability that could arise with respect to these actions cannot
be accurately predicted, management believes that any such liabilities,
individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on
the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

--------
(1) EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before deductions
    for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA for the
    periods ended March 31, 1998 and March 28, 1997 is before the deduction
    for stock based compensation charges, and EBITDA for the period ended
    September 29, 1995 is before the deduction for restructuring costs. EBITDA
    is used by management and certain investors as an indication of a
    company's ability to service existing debt, to sustain potential future
    increases in debt and to satisfy capital requirements. However, EBITDA is
    not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor has it been
    presented as an alternative to either (a) operating income (as determined
    by generally accepted accounting principles) as an indicator of operating
    performance or (b) cash flows from operating, investing and financing
    activities (as determined by generally accepted accounting principles) as
    a measure of liquidity. Given that EBITDA is not a measurement determined
    in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is thus
    susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA as presented may not be
    comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
(2) EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. Management
    believes that EBITDA margin is a useful measure to evaluate the Company's
    performance over various sales levels. EBITDA margin should not be
    considered as an alternative for measurements determined in accordance
    with generally accepted accounting principles.
(3) Capital expenditures represent amounts expended for property and
    equipment, for advance location payments to location owners and for
    acquisitions. Acquisition capital expenditures represent the amounts
    expended to acquire local, regional and multi-regional route operators, as
    well as complementary businesses. Growth capital expenditures represent
    the amount of capital expended that reflects a net increase in the
    installed base of machines, excluding acquisitions. Renewal capital

  TCC's fiscal year end was March 31, and TCC's predecessor's fiscal year end
was December 31, thus creating a three-month transition period. On January 31,
1995, TCC was formed by certain of the Company's current owners, and,
accordingly, periods prior to and after January 31, 1995 are reflected as
predecessor and successor periods, respectively.

(1) The term "Predecessor" refers to the period in time prior to the Coinmach
    Acquisition and consists of CIC and TCC. The term "Successor" refers to
    the period in time after the Coinmach Acquisition. Successor is presented
    on a different basis of accounting and therefore, is not comparable to the
    Predecessor. The Successor period reflects the effects of purchase
    accounting, whereby assets and liabilities were adjusted to their
    estimated fair values at the date of the Coinmach Acquisition.
(2) EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before deductions
    for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is used
    by management and certain investors as an indication of a company's
    ability to service existing debt, to sustain potential future increases in
    debt and to satisfy capital requirements. However, EBITDA is not intended
    to represent cash flows for the period, nor has it been presented as an
    alternative to either (a) operating income (as determined by generally
    accepted accounting principles) as an indicator of operating performance
    or (b) cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (as
    determined by generally accepted accounting principles) as a measure of
    liquidity. Given that EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance
    with generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to
    varying calculations, EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other
    similarly titled measures of other companies.
(3) EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. Management
    believes that EBITDA margin is a useful measure to evaluate the Company's
    performance over various sales levels. EBITDA margin should not be
    considered as an alternative for measurements determined in accordance
    with generally accepted accounting principles.
(4) Capital expenditures represent amounts expended for property and equipment
    and advance location payments to location owners. Renewal capital
    expenditures represent the amount of capital expended assuming no net
    increase in the installed base of machines.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  The following discussion and analysis pertains to the results of operations
and financial position of the Company for the 1998 Fiscal Year, the 1997
Fiscal Year and the twelve month period ended March 29, 1996 and should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related
notes thereto included in Item 8 and the Selected Historical Consolidated
Financial Data included in Item 6 of this Form 10-K.
 
GENERAL
 
  The Company is principally engaged in the business of supplying outsourced
laundry equipment services to multi-family housing properties. At March 31,
1998, the Company owned and operated approximately 680,000 washers and dryers
in approximately 70,000 multi-family housing properties on routes throughout
the United States and in 150 retail laundromats located throughout Texas. The
Company, through Super Laundry, its wholly-owned subsidiary, is also a
laundromat equipment distribution company.
 
 Sources of Revenue
 
  The Company's primary financial objective is to increase its cash flow from
operations. Cash flow from operations represents a source of funds available
to service indebtedness and for investment in both internal growth and growth
through acquisitions. During the 1998 Fiscal Year and 1997 Fiscal Year, the
Company experienced net losses. Such net losses are attributable in part to
significant non-cash charges associated with the Company's execution of its
growth strategy, namely, high levels of depreciation and amortization of
contract rights and goodwill related to the addition of new machines and
customers through acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.
 
  The Company's most significant revenue source is its route business. The
Company provides outsourced laundry equipment services to locations by leasing
laundry rooms from building owners and property management companies,
typically on a long-term, renewable basis. In return for the exclusive right
to provide these services, most of the Company's contracts provide for
commission payments to the location owners. Commission expense (also referred
to as rent expense), the Company's single largest expense item, is included in
laundry operating expenses and represents payments to location owners.
Commissions may be fixed amounts or percentages of revenues and are generally
paid monthly. Also included in laundry operating expenses are the cost of
servicing and collections in the route business, including, payroll, parts,
vehicles and other related items, the costs of sales associated with Super
Laundry and certain expenses related to the operation of retail laundromats.
In addition to commission payments, many of the Company's leases require the
Company to make advance location payments to the location owners. These
advance payments are capitalized and amortized over the life of the applicable
lease.
 
  Other revenue sources for the Company include: (i) leasing laundry equipment
and other household appliances and electronic items to corporate relocation
entities, individuals, property owners and managers of multi-family housing
properties (approximately $2.9 million for the 1998 Fiscal Year); (ii)
operating, maintaining and servicing retail laundromats (approximately $21.0
million for the 1998 Fiscal Year); and (iii) constructing complete turnkey
retail laundromats, retrofitting existing retail laundromats, distributing
exclusive lines of commercial coin and non-coin machines and parts, and
selling service contracts (approximately $26.6 million for the 1998 Fiscal
Year).

</TABLE>
 
FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 28, 1997
 
  Revenues increased by approximately 57% for the 1998 Fiscal Year as compared
to 1997 Fiscal Year. This improvement in revenues resulted primarily from the
Company's execution of its acquisition strategy and increased route revenues
resulting from internal expansion. Based on the historical revenues of
acquired businesses, the Company estimates that approximately $103.0 million
of its revenue increase for the 1998 Fiscal Year is primarily due to the Kwik
Wash Acquisition (January 1997), the Reliable Acquisition (April 1997), and
the National Coin Acquisition (July 1997). The ALI Acquisition (January 1998)
and the Macke Acquisition (March 1998) also contributed to the revenue
increase, but had minimal impact due to the timing of these transactions. In
addition, during the 1998 Fiscal Year, the Company's installed machine base
increased by approximately 19,500 machines from internal growth (excluding the
machines added from the Macke Acquisition, the Reliable Acquisition, the ALI
Acquisition and the National Coin Acquisition during such period) as compared
to an increase of approximately 7,500 machines during the prior year's
corresponding period. Included in internal growth are acquisitions of small,
local route operators and new customers secured by the Company's sales force.
 
  Laundry operating expenses increased by approximately 56% for the 1998
Fiscal Year, as compared to the 1997 Fiscal Year. This increase was due
basically to an increase in laundry operating expenses, primarily commission
expense, related to the Macke Acquisition, the Kwik Wash Acquisition, the
Reliable Acquisition, the ALI Acquisition and the National Coin Acquisition.
 
  General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.6 million
or 34% for the 1998 Fiscal Year as compared to the 1997 Fiscal Year. The
increase for the period was due to various expenses associated with (i) costs
and expenses relating to the Company's acquisition strategy, including systems
development and refinement relating to the integration of prior acquisitions,
and (ii) additional expenses, such as accounting, management information
systems and other administrative functions related to the Company's growth.
However, as a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were
1.9% for the 1998 Fiscal Year as compared to 2.2% for the 1997 Fiscal Year.
 
  Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately 63% for the 1998
Fiscal Year, as compared to the 1997 Fiscal Year, due primarily to contract
rights and goodwill associated with the Macke Acquisition, the Kwik Wash
Acquisition, the Reliable Acquisition, the ALI Acquisition and the National
Coin Acquisition, as well as an increase in capital expenditures in respect of
the Company's installed base of machines.
 
  The extraordinary items for the 1997 Fiscal Year consisted of costs related
to the extinguishment of debt in February 1997 and the termination of the then
existing revolving credit facility.

  In July 1996, Coinmach Laundry issued, in privately negotiated transactions,
79,029 shares of its Class B common stock to certain members of management.
The Company recorded a stock-based compensation charge of approximately
$887,000 attributable to the issuance of such stock during the 1997 Fiscal
Year. In addition, for the 1998 Fiscal Year and the 1997 Fiscal Year,
approximately $104,000 of receivables relating to loans to management in
connection with prior purchases of Coinmach Laundry's common stock were
forgiven and have been recorded as a stock-based compensation charge.
 
  During July and September 1996, the Company granted to certain members of
management and certain other individuals non-qualified options (the "1996
Options") to purchase Common Stock at a 15% discount to the initial offering
price of the Common Stock. With respect to the 1996 Options granted to its
employees, the Company records such discount as a stock-based compensation
charge over the applicable four year vesting period. The Company also granted
options to two of its disinterested directors (the "Independent Director
Options") which enable such persons to purchase an aggregate of 120,000 shares
of Common Stock at the initial offering price of the Common Stock. The Company
records the difference between the exercise price of Independent Director
Options and the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant as
a stock-based compensation charge over the applicable three year vesting
period.
 
  In September 1997, the Company granted non-qualified options (the "1997
Options") to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares of Common Stock to
certain members of management at an exercise price of $11.90. The Company
records the difference between the exercise price of the 1997 Options and the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant as a stock-based
compensation charge over the applicable four year vesting period. For the 1998
Fiscal Year and 1997 Fiscal Year, the Company recorded a stock-based
compensation charge of approximately $1,344,000 and $1,162,000, respectively,
relating to the 1997 Options, the 1996 Options and the Independent Director
Options.
 
  Interest expense, net, increased by approximately 66% for the 1998 Fiscal
Year, as compared to the prior year, due primarily to increased borrowing
levels under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility in connection with
certain acquisitions, as well as the increased interest due to the Bond
Offering by the Company of $100 million aggregate principal amount of the
Series C Notes on October 8, 1997. (See financing activities).
 
  EBITDA/2/ before deduction for stock-based compensation charges was
approximately $101.4 million for the 1998 Fiscal Year as compared to
approximately $62.8 million for the 1997 Fiscal Year, representing an
improvement of approximately 61%. EBITDA margins improved to approximately
31.2% of revenues for the current year compared to approximately 30.4% of
revenues for the prior year.
 
--------
/2/ EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before deductions
 for interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is used by
 management and certain investors as an indicator of a company's historical
 ability to service debt. Management believes that an increase in EBITDA is an
 indication of a company's improved ability to service existing debt, to
 sustain potential future increases in debt and to satisfy capital
 requirements. However, EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows for the
 period, nor has it been presented as an alternative to either (a) operating
 income (as determined by generally accepted accounting principles) as an
 indicator of operating performance or (b) cash flows from operating,
 investing and financing activities (as determined by generally accepted
 accounting principles) as a measure of liquidity. Given that EBITDA is not a
 measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
 principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA as
 presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
 companies.

  Revenues increased by approximately 16% for the 1997 Fiscal Year as compared
to the prior fiscal year. The improvement in revenues was primarily
attributable to increased route revenues resulting from internal expansion,
the acquisition of a regional route operator located in St. Louis, Missouri on
April 1, 1996 (the "Allied Acquisition"), the Kwik Wash Acquisition and an
increase in revenues from Super Laundry. The Company estimates that
approximately $24.0 million of its revenue increase for the 1997 Fiscal Year
is the combined result of the Kwik Wash Acquisition and the Allied Acquisition
based on the historical revenue of such acquired businesses. In addition,
during the 1997 Fiscal Year, the Company's installed base increased by
approximately 7,500 machines from internal growth (excluding the machines
added from the Kwik Wash Acquisition and the Allied Acquisition during such
period) due primarily to the elimination of capital constraints existing at
Solon prior to the Merger, as compared to a reduction of approximately 750
machines during the twelve months ended March 29, 1996.
 
  Laundry operating expenses increased by approximately 13% for the 1997
Fiscal Year, as compared to the prior fiscal year. This increase was due
primarily to the Allied Acquisition and the Kwik Wash Acquisition as well as
an increase in the cost of sales related to Super Laundry's increased sales
volume. Such increase in laundry operating expenses was offset by the
implementation of cost savings programs in the Company's field operations and
the consolidation of certain operating regions.
 
  General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.4 million
or 10% for the 1997 Fiscal Year as compared to the prior fiscal year. The
increase for the period was due to expenses associated with (i) the
implementation of the Company's acquisition strategy, including legal and
financial due diligence investigations of potential targets and related costs,
(ii) the development and implementation of procedures for the management of
investor relations, and (iii) systems development, refinement and integration.
This increase includes a reduction of certain expenses resulting from the
consolidation of the Company's corporate staff into its existing facility in
Roslyn, New York on September 29, 1995.
 
  Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately 27% for the 1997
Fiscal Year, as compared to the prior fiscal year, due primarily to the Allied
Acquisition and the Kwik Wash Acquisition, as well as an
 
                                      20
<PAGE>
 
increase in capital expenditures for the installed base of machines resulting
from the elimination of capital constraints existing at Solon prior to the
Merger.
 
  The Company incurred restructuring costs of approximately $2.2 million
during the twelve months ended March 29, 1996 to cover severance obligations
to certain personnel, costs to relocate certain corporate functions to Roslyn,
New York, systems integration costs, and expenses related to the consolidation
of certain of its regional offices, in each case, as a result of the Solon
Acquisition and the Merger.
 
  The extraordinary items for the 1997 Fiscal Year consisted of costs related
to the extinguishment of debt in February, 1997 and the termination of the
then existing revolving credit facility. The extraordinary items for the six
month period ended March 29, 1996 consisted of costs related to the
extinguishment of debt in connection with the Company's refinancing in
November 1995.
 
  Prior to the Offering, Coinmach Laundry issued, in privately negotiated
transactions, 79,029 shares of its Class B common stock to certain members of
management. The Company recorded a stock-based compensation charge of
approximately $887,000 attributable to the issuance of such stock. In
addition, approximately $103,000 of receivables relating to loans to
management in connection with prior purchases of Coinmach Laundry's common
stock were forgiven and have been recorded as a stock-based compensation
charge.
 
  During the 1997 Fiscal Year, Coinmach Laundry recorded a stock-based
compensation charge of approximately $1,162,000 relating to the 1996 Options
and the Independent Director Options.
 
  Interest expense, net, increased by approximately 13% for the 1997 Fiscal
Year as compared to the prior year due primarily to the Company's refinancing
in November 1995 as well as entering into a credit facility with Bankers Trust
Company, First Union National Bank of North Carolina and Lehman Commercial
Paper, Inc. in January 1997. Partially offsetting this increase in interest
expense was the decrease in the effective interest rate applied against
outstanding borrowings as the result of such refinancing, as well as interest
income earned on excess cash balances generated from operations.
 
  EBITDA/3/ was approximately $62.8 million (before deduction for stock-based
compensation charges) for the 1997 Fiscal Year as compared to approximately
$51.2 million (before deduction for restructuring costs) for the prior fiscal
year, representing an improvement of approximately 23%. EBITDA margins
improved to approximately 30% of revenues for the current year compared to
approximately 29% of revenues for the prior year.

    Solon Acquisition and includes the historical results of Solon which have
    been restated to include the pooling of interests of TCC. Successor is
    presented on a different basis of accounting and, therefore, is not

(2) Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the 1996
    presentation.
 
  Revenues for the six month transition period ended March 29, 1996 were
approximately 1.2% higher than combined revenues for the prior period. The
improvement in revenues consisted primarily of increased revenues from Super
Laundry of approximately $2.5 million. Such improvement was partially offset
by a decrease of approximately $1.4 million in revenues from the route
business. The average machine base for the six month transition period ended
March 29, 1996 was approximately 1.4% lower than the prior period primarily as
the result of constraints on available capital prior to the Merger. From
September 30, 1995, through March 29, 1996, the Company successfully
implemented a program to maintain its base of installed machines and eliminate
any additional erosion. The effect of the decreased number of machines was
partially offset by increased revenue per machine from price increases.
 
  Laundry operating expenses decreased by approximately 1.4% primarily as the
result of decreased expenses of approximately $0.8 million related to
implementation of cost savings programs in the Company's field operations and
a decrease in commission expense of approximately 2.3%. These decreases were
partially offset by an increase in the cost of sales related to the increased
volume of Super Laundry.
 
  General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $1.0 million,
or 36.1%, primarily due to the consolidation of corporate staff by closing
Solon's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania office and combining its operations into
the Company's existing facility in Roslyn, New York on September 29, 1995.
 
  Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $1.9 million or
11.6% due primarily to purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the
Solon Acquisition.
 
  Interest expense, net, increased by approximately 5.3%. Approximately $1.8
million of such increase was due primarily to the increased debt level that
resulted from the Company's refinancing in November 1995.
 
                                      22
<PAGE>
 
Offsetting this increase is approximately $0.8 million due to the decrease in
the effective interest rate as the result of such refinancing. The increased
debt resulted in an excess cash balance, which was contemplated to be used for
working capital purposes and for future acquisition opportunities.
 
  The extraordinary item for the six month transition period ended March 29,
1996, consisted of costs related to the extinguishment of debt in connection
with the Company's refinancing in late 1995. The extraordinary item for the
period ended April 4, 1995, consisted of costs related to the change in control
in connection with the Solon Acquisition.

(2) Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the 1995
    presentation.
 
  Revenues for the period April 5, 1995 to September 29, 1995 were
approximately 1.1% higher than combined revenues for the prior period. The
improvement in revenues consisted primarily of increased revenues from Super
Laundry of approximately $1.3 million. Such improvement was partially offset by
a decrease of approximately $0.3 million in revenues from routes, primarily due
to a 2.0% decline in the average number of laundry machines on location, due to
constraints on capital prior to the Merger. The effect of the decreased number
of machines was partially offset by increased revenue per machine of
approximately 1.6% primarily due to price increases.
 
  Laundry operating expenses increased by approximately 3.3%, primarily due to
an increase of $1.0 million in the cost of sales related to the increase in
Super Laundry revenue. The remaining increase is primarily the result of the
method of accounting for installation costs applied in the Successor period.
This increase is the result of increased cost of sales related to the increased
volume of Super Laundry. In addition, the Company's commission expense
decreased by approximately 1.0%.
 
  General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $0.2 million,
or 8.4% primarily due to a decrease in the corporate staff.

  The Company provided for restructuring costs of approximately $2.2 million
to cover severance payments to certain of Solon's management, administrative
and regional personnel, costs to relocate Solon's financial and administrative
functions to Roslyn, New York, costs to integrate certain financial and
operating systems, and costs related to the consolidation of certain of
Solon's regional offices.
 
  Interest expense, net, increased to approximately 4.9% primarily due to an
increase in the interest rate on TCC's revolver, which was based on the prime
lending rate.
 
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
  In 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income," and SFAS
131 "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."
These statements are effective for fiscal years commencing after December 15,
1997. The Company will be required to comply with the provisions of these
statements in its year ending March 31, 1999. The Company is currently
evaluating what operating segments of its business may trigger disclosure
requirements under SFAS 131 and believes the required disclosure will be made,
if applicable, at the end of fiscal 1999. The Company does not believe that
adoption of SFAS 130 will have a significant effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  The Company continues to have substantial indebtedness and debt service
requirements. At March 31, 1998, the Company had outstanding long-term debt of
approximately $602.2 million (excluding the premium, net, of approximately
$9.3 million on the Series C Notes) and stockholders' equity of approximately
$58.7 million.
 
 FINANCING ACTIVITIES
 
  Senior Note Offering and Exchange Offer
 
  In December 1995, the Company issued 11 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005 pursuant
to the terms of an indenture, between the Company and Fleet Bank of
Connecticut (formerly Shawmut Bank Connecticut, National Association) (as
amended, the "Indenture") in an aggregate principal amount of $196,655,000. On
March 28, 1996, Coinmach consummated a registered exchange offer, pursuant to
which all issued and outstanding 11 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005 were exchanged
for the Series B Notes.
 
  On October 8, 1997, Coinmach completed a private placement (the "Bond
Offering") of $100 million aggregate principal amount of Series C Notes on
substantially identical terms as its Series B Notes. The gross proceeds from
the Bond Offering were $109.875 million, of which $100.0 million represented
the principal amount outstanding and $9.875 million represented the payment of
a premium for the Series C Notes. Coinmach used approximately $105.4 million
of the net proceeds from the Bond Offering to repay indebtedness outstanding
under its senior financing arrangement.
 
  On December 23, 1997, Coinmach commenced an offer to exchange (the "Exchange
Offer") up to $296.7 million (excluding the premium on the Series C Notes
discussed above) of its 11 3/4% Series D Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Series D
Notes" or "Senior Notes") for any and all of its Series B Notes and its Series
C Notes. The Exchange Offer expired on February 6, 1998, and, as of such date,
the holders of 100% of the outstanding Series B Notes and Series C Notes
tendered such notes in the Exchange Offer for Series D Notes.
 
  The Senior Notes, which mature on November 15, 2005, are unsecured senior
obligations of Coinmach and are redeemable, at the Company's option, in whole
or in part at any time or from time to time, on and after November 15, 2000,
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at the redemption prices
set forth in the Indenture, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, if any, to the date of redemption.
 
  The Indenture contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements,
including covenants with respect to the following matters: (i) limitation on
indebtedness; (ii) limitation on certain payments (in the form of the
 
                                      24
<PAGE>
 
declaration or payment of certain dividends or distributions on the capital
stock of Coinmach Corporation or its subsidiaries, the purchase, redemption or
other acquisition of any capital stock of Coinmach Corporation, the voluntary
prepayment of subordinated indebtedness, or an Investment (as defined in the
Indenture) in any other person or entity); (iii) limitation on transactions
with affiliates; (iv) limitation on liens; (v) limitation on sales of assets;
(vi) limitation on sale and leaseback transactions; (vii) limitation on
conduct of business; (viii) limitation on dividends and other payment
restrictions affecting subsidiaries; and (ix) limitation on consolidations,
mergers and sales of substantially all of the assets of Coinmach Corporation.
 
  The events of default under the Indenture include provisions that are
typical of senior unsecured debt financings. Upon the occurrence and
continuance of certain events of default, the trustee or the holders of not
less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Senior Notes may
declare all unpaid principal and accrued interest on all of the Senior Notes
to be immediately due and payable.
 
  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture),
each holder of Senior Notes will have the right to require that the Company
purchase all or a portion of such holder's Senior Notes pursuant to the offer
described in the Indenture, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
repurchase.
 
  Amended and Restated Credit Facility
 
  On June 2, 1997, the Company's existing credit facility with Bankers Trust
Company, First Union National Bank of North Carolina, Lehman Commercial Paper,
Inc. and certain other lending institutions providing for, among other things,
a $130 million term loan facility and a $70 million revolving credit facility,
was amended to, among other things, increase the existing term loan facility
by $60.0 million, of which $50.0 million was used to repay outstanding
revolver borrowings under such facility. The credit facility, as amended,
consisted of a $70 million revolving credit facility and a $190 million term
loan facility, which was comprised of a Tranche A term loan in the amount of
$30.0 million and a Tranche B term loan in the amount of $160.0 million. Such
amended credit facility also provided for up to $10 million of letter of
credit financings and short term borrowings under a swing line facility of up
to $5 million.
 
  In December 1997, the Company's credit facility was amended to provide for
an aggregate of $235 million of secured financing consisting of: (i) a $35
million working capital revolving credit facility bearing interest at an
annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%; (ii) a $125 million acquisition revolving
credit facility bearing interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%; and
(iii) a $75 million Tranche A term loan facility bearing interest at an annual
rate of LIBOR plus 2.00%.
 
  In March 1998, concurrently with the Macke Acquisition, the Company once
again amended and restated its senior financing agreement (as amended and
restated, the "Amended and Restated Credit Facility"), on substantially
similar terms, providing for approximately $200 million of additional
financing consisting of a Tranche B term loan bearing interest at an annual
rate of LIBOR plus 2.25%. Under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, the
working capital revolving credit facility and the acquisition revolving credit
facility are expected to mature on December 31, 2003, the Tranche A term loan
facility is expected to mature on December 31, 2004, and the Tranche B term
loan facility is expected to mature on June 30, 2005.
 
  Interest on the Company's borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit
Facility is payable quarterly in arrears with respect to Base Rate Loans and
the last day of each applicable interest period with respect to Eurodollar
Loans and at a rate per annum no greater than the sum of the Applicable Base
Rate Margin plus the Base Rate or the sum of the Applicable Eurodollar Margin
plus the Eurodollar Rate (in each case, as defined in the Amended and Restated
Credit Facility).
 
  To manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, the Company
entered into interest rate swap agreements, relating to its variable rate debt
portfolio. On February 23, 1998, the Company entered into a 33 month $75
million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with Bankers Trust
Company to fix the monthly
 
                                      25
<PAGE>
 
LIBOR interest rate under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility at 5.71%.
On March 2, 1998, the Company entered into a 32 month, $100 million notional
amount interest rate swap transaction with First Union National Bank of North
Carolina to fix the monthly LIBOR interest rate under a portion of the Amended
and Restated Credit Facility at 5.83%. On April 7, 1998, the Company entered
into a 31 month, $75 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction
with Bankers Trust Company to fix the monthly LIBOR interest rate under a
portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility at 5.75%. At March 31,
1998, the monthly variable LIBOR interest rate was 5.6875%. The Company does
not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
 
  Indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by
all of the Company's real and personal property. The Company has guaranteed
the indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and pledged to
Bankers Trust Company, as Collateral agent, its interests in all of the issued
and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company.
 
  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Credit
Facility, the Company may, at its option, convert Base Rate Loans (as defined
in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility) into Eurodollar Loans (as defined
in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility). Interest on the Company's
borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility is payable at a rate
per annum no greater than the sum of the Applicable Base Rate Margin plus the
Base Rate or the sum of the Applicable Eurodollar Margin plus the Eurodollar
Rate (in each case, as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility).
 
  The Amended and Restated Credit Facility contains a number of restrictive
covenants and agreements, including covenants with respect to limitations on
(i) indebtedness; (ii) certain payments (in the form of the declaration or
payment of certain dividends or distributions on the capital stock of Coinmach
Laundry or its subsidiaries or the purchase, redemption or other acquisition
of any capital stock of Coinmach Laundry or its subsidiaries); (iii) voluntary
prepayments of previously existing indebtedness; (iv) Investments (as defined
in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility); (v) transactions with
affiliates; (vi) liens; (vii) sales or purchases of assets; (viii) conduct of
business; (ix) dividends and other payment restrictions affecting
subsidiaries; (x) consolidations and mergers; (xi) capital expenditures; (xii)
issuances of certain equity securities of the Company; and (xiii) creation of
subsidiaries. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility also requires that the
Company satisfy certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio
and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio.
 
  The Amended and Restated Credit Facility contains certain events of default,
including the following: (i) the failure of the Company to pay any of its
obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility when due; (ii)
certain failures by the Company to pay principal or interest on indebtedness
or certain breaches or defaults by the Company in respect of certain
indebtedness, in each case, after the expiration of any applicable grace
periods; (iii) certain defaults by the Company in the performance or
observance of the agreements or covenants under the Amended and Restated
Credit Facility or related agreements, beyond any applicable cure periods;
(iv) the falsity in any material respect of certain of the Company's
representations or warranties under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility;
(v) certain judgments against the Company; and (vi) certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company.
 
  Operating and Investing Activities
 
  The Company's level of indebtedness will have several important effects on
its future operations including, but not limited to, the following: (i) a
significant portion of the Company's cash flow from operations will be
required to pay interest on its indebtedness; (ii) the financial covenants
contained in certain of the agreements governing the Company's indebtedness
will require the Company to meet certain financial tests and may limit its
ability to borrow additional funds or to dispose of assets; (iii) the
Company's ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working
capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes may
be impaired; and (iv) the Company's ability to adapt to changes in the
outsourced laundry equipment services industry and to economic conditions in
general could be limited.
 
                                      26
<PAGE>
 
  As the Company has focused on increasing its cash flow from operating
activities, it has made significant capital investments, primarily consisting
of capital expenditures related to acquisitions, renewals and growth. The
Company anticipates that it will continue to utilize cash flows from
operations to finance its capital expenditures and working capital needs,
including interest payments on its outstanding indebtedness. Capital
expenditures for the 1998 Fiscal Year were approximately $353.7 million
(including approximately $2.3 million promissory note in connection with the
acquisition of a small route operator and approximately $1.2 million relating
to capital lease obligations). Of such amount, the Company spent approximately
$295.0 million in acquisition and related transaction costs, primarily the
Macke Acquisition, the Reliable Acquisition, the ALI Acquisition and the
National Coin Acquisition, and approximately $21.1 million related to the net
increase in the installed base of machines of 19,500 machines. The balance of
approximately $37.6 million was used to maintain the existing machine base
(which consist of machine expenditures, advance location payments and laundry
room improvements) in current locations and the replacement of discontinued
locations and for general corporate purposes. The full impact on revenues and
cash flow generated from capital expended on acquisitions and the net increase
in the installed based are not expected to be reflected in the Company's
financial results until subsequent reporting periods, depending on the timing
of the capital expended. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures,
excluding acquisitions and internal growth, will be approximately $62.0
million for the twelve months ending March 31, 1999. Such increase relative to
fiscal 1998 is primarily attributable to the Company's recent acquisition
activities. While the Company estimates that it will generate sufficient cash
flows from operations to finance anticipated capital expenditures, there can
be no assurances that it will be able to do so.
 
  The Company's working capital requirements are, and are expected to continue
to be, minimal since a significant portion of the Company's operating expenses
are not paid until after cash is collected from the installed machines. In
connection with certain of the financing agreements governing the Company's
indebtedness, the Company is required to make monthly cash interest payments
as required by the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and semi-annual cash
interest payments as required by the Senior Notes.
 
  Management believes that the Company's future operating activities will
generate sufficient cash flow to repay indebtedness outstanding under the
Senior Notes and borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility or
to permit any necessary refinancings thereof. An inability of the Company,
however, to comply with covenants or other conditions contained in the
indentures governing the Senior Notes or in the credit agreement evidencing
the Amended and Restated Credit Facility could result in an acceleration of
all amounts due under such indentures and the Amended and Restated Credit
Facility. If the Company is unable to meet its debt service obligations, it
could be required to take certain actions such as reducing or delaying capital
expenditures, selling assets, refinancing or restructuring its indebtedness,
selling additional equity capital or other actions. There is no assurance that
any of such actions could be effected on commercially reasonable terms or on
terms permitted under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, or the
indentures governing the Senior Notes.
 
  Certain Accounting Treatment
 
  The Company's depreciation and amortization expenses, aggregating
approximately $75.5 million for the 1998 Fiscal Year, have the effect of
reducing net income but not operating cash flow. In accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, a significant amount of the purchase price of
businesses acquired by the Company is allocated to "contract rights", which
costs are amortized over periods of up to 15 years.
 
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
 
  The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the
Company's computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a
date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. During the 1998
Fiscal Year, the Company determined that it needed to modify significant
portions of its software so that its information systems will function
properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and beyond. The Company also
has initiated discussions with its significant suppliers, customers, and
financial institutions to ensure that those parties have
 
                                      27
<PAGE>
 
appropriate plans to remediate year 2000 issues where their systems interface
with the Company's systems or otherwise impact its operations. The Company is
assessing the extent to which its operations are vulnerable should those
organizations fail to properly remediate their computer systems.
 
  The Company's comprehensive year 2000 initiative is being managed by a team
of internal and external staff. The team's activities are designed to ensure
that there is no adverse effect on the Company's core business operations and
that transactions with customers, suppliers, and financial institutions are
fully supported. The Company anticipates its information systems
transformation for year 2000 compliance will be completed in the fall of 1999.
While the Company believes its planning efforts are adequate to address its
year 2000 concerns, there can be no guarantee that its computer systems or the
computer systems of other companies on which the Company's systems and
operations rely will be converted on a timely basis and will not have a
material effect on the operations of the Company. The cost of the year 2000
initiative is not expected to be material to the Company's results of
operation or financial condition.
 
INFLATION AND SEASONALITY
 
  In general, the Company's laundry operating expenses and general and
administrative expenses are affected by inflation, and the effects of
inflation may be experienced by the Company in future periods. Management
believes that such effects have not been nor will be material to the Company.
The Company's business generally is not seasonal.
 
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
  Certain statements and information contained in this Form 10-K and other
reports and statements filed by the Company from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, "SEC Filings") contain or
may contain certain forward looking statements and information that are based
on the beliefs of the Company's management as well as estimates and
assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company's
management. Forward looking statements are those that are not historical
facts. When used in SEC Filings, the words "anticipate," "project," "believe,"
"estimate," "expect," "future," "intend," "plan" and similar expressions, as
they relate to the Company or the Company's management, identify forward
looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views of the Company
with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties
and assumptions relating to the Company's operations and results of
operations, competitive factors, shifts in market demand, and other risks and
uncertainties that may be beyond the Company's control. Such risks and
uncertainties, together with any risks and uncertainties specifically
identified in the text surrounding such forward looking statements, include,
but are not limited to, the Company's ability to satisfy its debt service
requirements, the costs of integration of acquired businesses and realization
of anticipated synergies, increased competition, availability of capital to
finance capital expenditures necessary to increase and maintain the Company's
operating machine base, the rate of growth in general and administrative
expenses due to the Company's business expansion, the Company's dependence
upon lease renewals, risks of extended periods of reduced occupancy levels,
and the ability of the Company to implement its business strategy, including
the acquisition and successful integration and operation of acquired
businesses. Other risks and uncertainties also include changes or developments
in social, economic, business, industry, market, legal and regulatory
circumstances and conditions and actions taken or omitted to be taken by third
parties, including the Company's stockholders, customers, suppliers,
competitors, legislative, regulatory, judicial and other governmental
authorities. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize,
or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's future
performance and actual results of operations may vary significantly from those
anticipated, projected, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
To the Board of Directors of Coinmach Laundry Corporation
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Coinmach
Laundry Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 1998 and
March 28, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended March 31,
1998 and March 28, 1997, the six-month transition period ended March 29, 1996
and the period from April 5, 1995 to September 29, 1995. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Coinmach
Laundry Corporation and Subsidiaries at March 31, 1998 and March 28, 1997, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the
years ended March 31, 1998 and March 28, 1997, the six-month transition period
ended March 29, 1996, and for the period from April 5, 1995 to September 29,
1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                                MARCH 31, 1998
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
  The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Coinmach Laundry
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Coinmach Laundry"), and Subsidiaries
(the "Company") include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coinmach
Corporation ("Coinmach") (formerly Solon Automated Services, Inc. ("Solon")
and the consolidated accounts of The Coinmach Corporation ("TCC")). The
Company was formed on April 5, 1995, at which time it acquired Solon (the
"Solon Acquisition"), and was controlled by Golder Thoma Cressey Rauner, Inc.
("GTCR"). TCC was formed in January 1995 by an investor group, comprised
principally of the same investors who formed the Company, and acquired
Coinmach Industries Co. ("Industries") and Super Laundry Equipment Co. L.P.
("Super Laundry LP") on January 31, 1995 (the "TCC Acquisition"). Both the
Solon Acquisition and the TCC Acquisition were accounted for as purchases and,
accordingly, the acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at their
estimated fair values at the respective acquisition dates.
 
  As described in Note 2, Solon completed a merger with TCC on November 30,
1995. This transaction was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of
interests. As a result of the common investor group's control over both Solon
and TCC, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
to reflect the accounts of the Company, Solon and TCC and their wholly-owned
subsidiaries on a consolidated basis since the date of common control, April
5, 1995.
 
  The Company's business involves leasing laundry rooms from building owners
and property management companies, installing and servicing the laundry
equipment and collecting revenues generated from laundry machines. At March
31, 1998, the Company owned and operated approximately 680,000 washers and
dryers in approximately 70,000 locations on routes throughout the United
States and in 150 retail laundromats located throughout Texas. The Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary, Super Laundry Equipment Corp. ("Super Laundry"), also
is a laundromat equipment distribution company.
 
  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
 
RECOGNITION OF LAUNDRY REVENUES
 
  The Company has agreements with various property owners which provide for
the Company's installation and operation of laundry machines at various
locations in return for a commission. These agreements provide for both
contingent (percentage of revenues) and fixed commission payments. The Company
reports revenues from laundry machines on the accrual basis and has accrued
the cash computed to be in the machines at the end of the fiscal period.
 
  Super Laundry's customers generally sign sales contracts pursuant to which
Super Laundry constructs and equips complete laundromat operations, including
location identification, construction, plumbing, electrical wiring and all
required permits. Revenue is recognized on the completed contract method. A
contract is considered complete when all costs have been incurred and either
the installation is operating according to specifications or has been accepted
by the customer. The duration of such contracts is normally less than six
months. Sales of laundromats amounted to approximately $21.8 million, $18.8
million, $7.8 million and $7.9 million in 1998, 1997, 1996T, and 1995,
respectively.

USE OF ESTIMATES
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ form those estimates.
 
CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
INVENTORIES
 
  Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
and consist of the following (in thousands):

                                                              =======   ======
</TABLE>
 
LAND, PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
  Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost and are
depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the
estimated useful lives or lease life, whichever is shorter.
 
<TABLE>
       <S>                                                          <C>
       Laundry equipment, installation costs and fixtures.......... 5 to 8 years
       Leasehold improvements and decorating costs................. 5 to 8 years
       Trucks and other vehicles................................... 3 to 4 years
</TABLE>
 
  Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost and related
accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts, and the
resulting gain or loss is included in income. Maintenance and repairs are
charged to operations currently, and replacements of laundry machines and
significant improvements are capitalized.
 
GOODWILL AND CONTRACT RIGHTS
 
  Goodwill, under purchase accounting, represents the excess of cost over fair
value of net assets acquired. Goodwill recorded as a result of the Solon
Acquisition on April 5, 1995 is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
20 years. Goodwill recorded on acquisitions subsequent thereto is being
amortized over 15 years on a straight-line basis.
 
  Contract rights represent amounts expended for location contracts arising
from the acquisition of laundry machines on location. These amounts, which
arose solely from purchase price allocations, are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the period of expected benefit of 15 years and are based on
independent appraisals or present valued future cash flows at prevailing
discount rates.
 
  Management periodically evaluates the realizability of the goodwill and
contract rights balances based upon the Company's expectations of undiscounted
cash flows and operating income. Based upon present operations and strategic
plans, management believes that no impairment of goodwill or contract rights
has occurred.

ADVANCE LOCATION PAYMENTS
 
  Advance location payments to location owners are amortized on a straight-
line basis over the contract term, which generally ranges from 5 to 10 years.
 
INTEREST EXPENSE
 
  Interest expense is reported net of interest income of approximately $0.3
million, $1.0 million, $0.3 million and $0.1 million for 1998, 1997, 1996T and
1995, respectively.
 
RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
  Certain prior year's balances have been reclassified to conform with the
1998 presentation.
 
LOSS PER SHARE
 
  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
("SFAS No. 128"). SFAS No. 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully
diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. SFAS No.
128 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 128 for its interim reporting period ended December 26, 1997
and year ended March 31, 1998. Such adoption had no impact on loss per share
for fiscal year 1998 and fiscal year 1997. In February 1998, the SEC issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 98 which revises the treatment of cheap
stock issued in connection with an initial public offering. SAB No. 98
requires companies to reflect the revised guidance retroactively. Pro forma
basic and diluted net loss per share for 1996 and 1995 have been restated to
comply with SAB No. 98.
 
  Basic and diluted loss per share for 1998 and 1997 was calculated based upon
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 11,242,006 and
9,232,530, respectively. Conversion of common equivalent shares (stock
options) was not assumed since the results would have been antidulutive. Pro
forma loss per share for 1996T and 1995 was calculated based upon the weighted
average number of common shares of 7,588,662, which amount gives effect to the
transactions discussed below, but, in accordance with SAB No. 98, excluding
the effects of the stock issued and options granted discussed further in Note
8b.
 
  The Company's historical capitalization differs significantly from its
capitalization effective with its July 23, 1996 initial public offering of
stock (see Note 8b). Accordingly, historical net loss per common share for the
six month transition period ended March 29, 1996 and the period from April 5,
1995 to September 29, 1995 is not considered meaningful and has not been
presented herein; rather, pro forma net loss per share is presented for these
periods in the accompanying statements of operations. The calculation of the
shares used in computing pro forma net loss per share includes the redemption
of preferred stock, as more fully described in Note 8d.
 
EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS
 
  The Company has stock option programs which are more fully described in Note
8e. The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees."
 
  In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." SFAS No. 123 defines a fair value method of accounting for the
issuance of stock options and other equity instruments. Under the fair value
method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair
value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually
the vesting period. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, companies are encouraged, but
are not required, to adopt the fair value method of accounting for employee
 
                                     F-11
<PAGE>
 
                 COINMACH LAUNDRY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
stock-based transactions. Companies are also permitted to continue to account
for such transactions under APB No. 25, but are required to disclose in the
financial statement footnotes, pro forma net (loss) income and per share
amounts as if the Company had applied the new method of accounting for all
grants made during 1996 and thereafter. SFAS No. 123 also requires increased
disclosures for stock-based compensation arrangements. The Company has elected
to continue to follow APB No. 25 in accounting for stock options and has
adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 (see Note 8e).
 
INCOME TAXES
 
  The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 requires the liability method of accounting for
income taxes. Under the liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. SFAS No. 109 requires
that any tax benefits recognized for net operating loss carryforwards and
other items be reduced by a valuation allowance where it is more likely than
not that the benefits may not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes
the enactment date.
 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
  Effective March 30, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed
Of." SFAS No. 121 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived
assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less
than the assets' carrying amount. SFAS No. 121 also addresses the accounting
for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The adoption of
SFAS No. 121 did not have an effect on the results of operations or financial
condition of the Company.
 
SEGMENT REPORTING
 
  In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective for years beginning
after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that
public business enterprises report information about operating segments in
annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report
selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. It
also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and
services, geographic areas, and major customers. Since SFAS No. 131 is not
required to be applied to interim financial statements in the initial year of
adoption, the Company is not required to disclose segment information in
accordance with SFAS No. 131 until the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, if
applicable. In the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2000 report, and in
subsequent quarters, it would present the interim disclosures required by SFAS
No. 131 for both fiscal 2000 and 1999, if applicable.
 
  The Company is currently evaluating what operating segments of its business
may trigger the disclosure requirements under SFAS No. 131.
 
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME STATEMENT
 
  In 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."
This statement is effective for fiscal years commencing after December 15,
1997. The Company will be required to comply with the
 
                                     F-12
<PAGE>
 
                 COINMACH LAUNDRY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
provisions of this statement in its year ending March 31, 1999. The Company
does not believe that the adoption of this statement will have a significant
effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
FISCAL YEAR
 
  On March 6, 1998, the Company changed its fiscal year end to the twelve
consecutive months ending March 31. The impact of this change in the current
year is not material to the financial statements taken as a whole. The
Company's fiscal year had been the 52 or 53 week period ending on the last
Friday in March since the merger of Solon and TCC (see Note 2). Prior to the
merger of Solon and TCC, the Company's fiscal year was the fifty-two or fifty-
three week period which ended on the Friday nearest September 30. The period
from April 5, 1995 to September 29, 1995 is referred to as "1995", the period
from September 30, 1995 to March 29, 1996 is referred to as "1996T", the year
ended March 28, 1997, is referred to as "1997", and the year ended March 31,
1998 is referred to as "1998."
 
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
A. THE MACKE ACQUISITION
 
  On March 2, 1998, Coinmach completed the acquisition of Macke Laundry
Service Limited Partnership ("MLSLP") and substantially all of the assets of
certain related entities (collectively "Macke") for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $213 million (the "Macke Acquisition"), excluding
transaction expenses. Macke operated approximately 236,000 washers and dryers,
and provided outsourced laundry equipment services to multi-family properties
throughout the United States.
 
  Immediately following the Macke Acquisition, MLSLP was dissolved, the
partnership interests were liquidated and all of MLSLP's assets were
distributed to Coinmach.
 
  Concurrently with the Macke Acquisition, the Company also entered into an
amended and restated senior financing agreement with its existing lenders,
providing for approximately $200 million of additional financing used to fund
the Macke Acquisition (the "Amended and Restated Credit Facility") (see Note
5).
 
  The Macke Acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly,
assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair value at the date
of acquisition and the results of operations are included subsequent to that
date. The purchase price allocations have been made on a preliminary basis,
which included a preliminary allocation of the excess of cost over the net
tangible assets acquired to contract rights of approximately $135.9 million.
 
B. THE KWIK WASH ACQUISITION
 
  On January 8, 1997, Coinmach completed the acquisition of 100% of the
outstanding voting securities of each of KWL, Inc. ("KWL"), a Nevada
corporation, and Kwik-Wash Laundries, Inc. ("Kwik Wash"), a Nevada
corporation, for approximately $125 million in cash (excluding transaction
expenses) and a $15 million promissory note issued by Coinmach Laundry (the
"Kwik Wash Acquisition"). KWL and Kwik Wash are the sole partners of Kwik Wash
Laundries, L.P. (the "Kwik Wash Partnership"), a Texas limited partnership.
The Kwik Wash Partnership, based in Dallas, Texas, provides coin-operated
laundry equipment services to multi family dwellings in Texas, Louisiana,
Arkansas and Oklahoma and operates approximately 150 retail laundromats
located throughout Texas. Simultaneously with the acquisition, KWL, Kwik Wash
and the Kwik Wash Partnership merged with and into Coinmach.

<PAGE>
 
                 COINMACH LAUNDRY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  Concurrently with the Kwik Wash Acquisition, Coinmach entered into a new
credit facility providing financing of up to $200 million (the "New Credit
Facility") (see Note 5). The New Credit Facility, proceeds of which were used
in part to fund the Kwik Wash Acquisition, replaced the Company's then
existing credit facility.
 
  The Kwik Wash Acquisition had been accounted for as a purchase and
accordingly, assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value at the date of
acquisition and the results of operations were included subsequent to that
date. The excess of cost over the net tangible assets acquired was allocated
to contract rights of approximately $123.3 million, goodwill of $49.4 million
and deferred taxes payable of approximately $49.4 million.
 
C. OTHER ACQUISITIONS
 
  During the 1998 fiscal year, the Company made acquisitions of several small
route businesses or assets of businesses with purchase prices aggregating
approximately $84.0 million, of which the Company paid approximately $81.8
million in cash and $2.3 million in promissory notes issued by the Company,
which are included in other long-term debt. The excess cost over the net
assets acquired amounted to approximately $63.6 million and has been allocated
to contracts rights of approximately $47.1 million and to goodwill of
approximately $16.5 million.
 
  During the 1997 fiscal year, the Company made acquisitions of several small
route businesses or assets of businesses with purchase prices aggregating
approximately $26.3 million, of which the Company paid approximately $25.2
million in cash and $1.2 million in promissory notes issued by the Company,
which are included in other long-term debt. Such promissory notes have a
conversion option which allows the holder of the option to convert these
promissory notes, after the one-year anniversary of the issue date, into
shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at the principal amount then
outstanding at a conversion price equal to 115% of the average daily closing
price per share of Common Stock over the twenty business day period
immediately preceding the issue date. To date none of the above mentioned
promissory notes have been converted into shares of Common Stock. The excess
cost over the net assets acquired amounted to approximately $12 million of
which $7.9 million has been allocated to contract rights and $4.1 million has
been allocated to goodwill.
 
  The following table reflects unaudited pro forma combined results of
operations of the Company, and all acquired businesses described above for the
years ended March 31, 1998 and March 28, 1997, as if the acquisitions
described above had taken place at the beginning of each of the periods
presented (in thousands except per share data):

  In management's opinion, the unaudited pro forma combined results of
operations are not indicative of the actual results that would have occurred
had the acquisitions described above been consummated at the beginning of each
period or of the results of future operations of the combined companies under
the ownership and management of the Company.
 
D. THE SOLON ACQUISITION
 
  Solon entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 7, 1995,
with Ford Coin Laundries, Inc. ("Ford"), and certain other parties named
therein, whereby Ford purchased all of Solon's outstanding Common Stock (the
"Common Stock") and substantially all of Solon's Class A Common Stock (the
"Class A Common Stock") (collectively, the "Shares"). The purchase price for
the Shares was $11.5 million. The foregoing transaction closed on April 5,
1995. The source of funds used by Ford for the Shares was the cash proceeds
from the sales by Ford to the Company of (i) Ford's nonvoting Class A Common
Stock (the "Ford Non-voting Common Stock") pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement, dated April 4, 1995, and (ii) an option to purchase Ford's voting
common stock (the "Ford Voting Common Stock") pursuant to a Letter Agreement
dated April 4, 1995. As of April 5, 1995, Ford beneficially owned, and had the
sole power to dispose of, the Shares. The Shares beneficially owned by Ford
represented 100% of the outstanding Common Stock and approximately 97% of the
outstanding Class A Common Stock.
 
  Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement with Ford, the Company purchased
from Ford all of the outstanding shares of Ford Non-voting Common Stock. The
purchase price for the Ford Non-voting Common Stock was of $11.4 million. The
sources of the funds used by the Company for the Ford Non-voting Common Stock
were certain shareholders of TCC, including GTCR. As of April 5, 1995, the
Company beneficially owned, and had the sole power to dispose of, 1,000 shares
of Ford Non-voting Common Stock.
 
  Pursuant to the Letter Agreement dated April 4, 1995, Ford granted to the
Company, among other things, an option (the "Option") to purchase, subject to
the terms and conditions contained therein, all of the Ford Voting Common
Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000. On April 28, 1995, the
Company exercised the Option. The sources of funds used by the Company to
exercise the Option were substantially the same sources used to purchase Ford
Non-voting Common Stock. As of April 28, 1995, the Company beneficially owned,
and had the sole power to vote and dispose of, ten shares of Ford Voting
Common Stock.
 
E. THE TCC ACQUISITION
 
  TCC was incorporated in January 1995 and was capitalized primarily through
an equity investment by an investor group led by the majority shareholder,
GTCR, and senior management and bank financing.
 
  TCC was a holding company which was formed to acquire partnership interests
in Coinmach Industries Co. and Super Laundry LP. On January 31, 1995, TCC
acquired its partnership interests in Coinmach Industries Co. and Super
Laundry from CIC I Acquisition Corp. ("CIC I"). The transaction resulted in
TCC owning 100% interests in both Industries and Super Laundry LP. The
aggregate purchase price for these interests was $8.57 million, paid in cash.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The
fair value of assets acquired less liabilities assumed exceeded the purchase
price by approximately $7.7 million. The excess was allocated to property,
equipment and intangible assets ratably based on their respective fair values.
 
F. THE MERGER WITH TCC

  Notes receivable, which arise from the construction of laundromats, bear
interest at a weighted average rate of approximately 10% per annum and mature
through 1999. The notes are collateralized by the underlying laundry
equipment. The Company periodically sells notes receivable arising from the
sale of laundromats to third party finance companies. Included in other
receivables are finance reserves, which arise when the Company sells notes and
a portion of the proceeds are retained by the finance company. As the notes
are collected, the finance companies remit a portion of the collections to the
Company. Many of the notes receivable are sold with recourse to the Company
(see Note 9). Control of the notes sold with recourse is surrendered by the
Company on the date of transfer. The Company generally sells its receivables
with recourse at cost, recognizing no gain or loss.
 
4. RESTRUCTURING COSTS
 
  Restructuring charges for 1995 consist of costs aggregating approximately
$2.2 million, which includes approximately $1.3 million of severance payments

A. SENIOR NOTES
 
  On November 30, 1995, Coinmach completed an exchange offer with
substantially all the holders of certain 12 3/4% Senior Notes due 2001 (the
"12 3/4% Notes") and certain 13 3/4% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2002
(the "Subordinated Debentures"). Through December 14, 1995, Coinmach issued a
total of $196.7 million of Series B 11 3/4% Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Series
B Notes") which enabled it to complete this exchange offer, consummate the
merger with TCC, retire its remaining debt, and provide additional working
capital. Coinmach incurred costs of approximately $4.0 million, net of income
taxes, related to a 5.5% premium paid to retire its 12 3/4% Notes and
Subordinated Debentures, wrote-off the unamortized balance of the related
original issue discount and deferred finance costs of approximately $1.3
million and $1.8 million, net of income taxes, respectively, and also incurred
costs related to the retirement of a revolving credit facility of TCC of
approximately $1.8 million, net of income taxes. The aggregate of the
foregoing items totaling $8.9 million, net of income taxes, is shown as an
extraordinary item in 1996T.
 
  In February 1997, Coinmach redeemed all of its outstanding 12 3/4% Notes at
a redemption price of 106.375% of the principal amount thereof, together with
accrued interest from January 15, 1997 to February 18, 1997, in an aggregate
amount of approximately $5.4 million. As part of the premium paid to redeem
the 12 3/4% Notes, together with the write-off of all unamortized financing
costs associated with the 12 3/4% Notes, Coinmach recognized an extraordinary
charge of $296,000 in 1997 (net of a tax benefit of $206,000).
 
  On October 8, 1997, Coinmach completed a private placement (the "Bond
Offering") of $100 million aggregate principal amount of its 11 3/4% Series C
Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Series C Notes") on substantially identical terms
as its outstanding Series B Notes. The gross proceeds from the Bond Offering
were $109.875 million, of which $100.0 million represented the principal
amount outstanding and $9.875 million represented the payment of a premium for
the Series C Notes. Coinmach used approximately $105.4 million of the net
proceeds from the Bond Offering to repay indebtedness outstanding under its
senior financing arrangement. On December 23, 1997, Coinmach commenced an
offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") up to $296.7 million

                 COINMACH LAUNDRY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
of its registered 11 3/4% Series D Senior Notes due 2005 (the "Series D Senior
Notes") for any and all of its Series C Notes and its Series B Notes. The
Exchange Offer expired on February 6, 1998, and as of such date the holders of
100% of the outstanding Series B Notes and Series C Notes tendered such notes
in the Exchange Offer.
 
  Interest on the Series D Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and
November 15. The Series D Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of
Coinmach at any time after November 15, 2000 at a price equal to 105 7/8%
declining to par if redeemed after November 15, 2002. The Series D Senior
Notes contain certain financial covenants and restrict the payment of certain
dividends, distributions or other payments from Coinmach to Coinmach Laundry.
 
B. CREDIT FACILITY
 
  On January 8, 1997, the Company entered into a senior financing arrangement
under a New Credit Facility with Bankers Trust Company ("Bankers Trust"),
First Union National Bank of North Carolina ("First Union"), Lehman Commercial
Paper, Inc. and certain other lending institutions named therein
(collectively, the "Banks"), replacing the Company's then existing credit
facility. The New Credit Facility, as amended effective June 2, 1997,
consisted of a $70 million revolving credit facility and a $190 million term
loan facility, which was comprised of a Tranche A term loan in the amount of
$30 million and a Tranche B term loan in the amount of $160 million. The
Tranche B term loan was increased by $60 million effective June 2, 1997.
 
  In December 1997, the New Credit Facility was amended to provide for $235
million of secured financing consisting of: (i) a $35 million working capital
revolving credit facility bearing interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus
1.50%; (ii) a $125 million acquisition revolving credit facility bearing
interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%; and (iii) a $75 million
Tranche term loan facility bearing interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus
2.00%.
 
  In March 1998, concurrent with the Macke Acquisition, the Company entered
into the Amended and Restated Credit Facility on substantially similar terms
with its existing lenders which provided for additional financing in the form
of a $200 million Tranche B term loan bearing interest at an annual rate of
LIBOR plus 2.25%. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility, the working
capital revolving credit facility and the acquisition revolving credit
facility mature on December 31, 2003, the Tranche A term loan facility matures
on December 31, 2004 and the Tranche B term loan facility matures on June 30,
2005.
 
  Interest on the Company's borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit
Facility is payable quarterly in arrears with respect to Base Rate Loans and
the last day of each applicable interest period with respect to Eurodollar
Loans and at a rate per annum no greater than the sum of the Applicable Base
Rate Margin plus the Base Rate or the sum of the Applicable Eurodollar Margin
plus the Eurodollar Rate (in each case, as defined in the Amended and Restated
Credit Facility). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended and
Restated Credit Facility, the Company may, at its option convert Base Rate
Loans into Eurodollar loans.
 
  The Company entered into swap agreements to reduce its exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates relating to its variable rate debt portfolio.
On February 23, 1998, Coinmach entered into a 33 month $75 million notional
amount interest rate swap transaction with Bankers Trust, to fix the monthly
LIBOR interest rate at 5.71% on the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. The
fair value of this swap agreement at March 31, 1998, as estimated by a dealer
based on quoted market prices, was $217,000 favorable.
 
  On March 2, 1998, Coinmach entered into a 32 month, $100 million notional
amount interest rate swap transaction with First Union, to fix the monthly
LIBOR interest rate at 5.83% on a portion of the Amended and
 
                                     F-18

Restated Credit Facility. The fair value of this swap agreement at March 31,
1998, as estimated by a dealer based on quoted market prices, was $47,000
favorable. At March 31, 1998, the monthly variable LIBOR interest rate was
5.6875%.
 
  Indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by
all of the Company's real and personal property. The Company has guaranteed
the indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and pledged to
Bankers Trust Company, as Collateral Agent, its interests in all of the issued
and outstanding shares of capital stock of Coinmach. In addition to certain
terms and provisions, events of default, as defined, and customary restrictive
covenants and agreements, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility contains
certain covenants including, but not limited to, a maximum leverage ratio, a
minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, and limitations on indebtedness,
capital expenditures, advances, investments and loans, mergers and
acquisitions, dividends, stock issuance's and transactions with affiliates.
 
  Debt outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility as of March
31, 1998, consisted of the following (in thousands):

C. PROMISSORY NOTE
 
  Pursuant to the Kwik Wash Acquisition, Coinmach Laundry issued a $15.0
million 9 7/8% promissory note due June 15, 2004. In December 1997, the
Company utilized certain of the net proceeds from the 1997 Stock Offering, as
defined below, to repay such promissory note plus accrued interest.
 
D. LETTERS OF CREDIT
 
  The Company utilizes third party letters of credit to guarantee certain
business transactions, primarily certain insurance activities. The total
amount of the letters of credit at March 31, 1998 and March 28, 1997 were
approximately $5.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
 
6. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLANS
 
  Coinmach maintains several defined contribution plans (including the
Coinmach Plan, Solon Plan, Kwik Wash Plan, Reliable Plan and Macke Plan
(collectively, the "Plans")) meeting the guidelines of Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code. All of the Plans require employees to meet certain age,
employment status and minimum entry requirements as allowed by law.
 
  Contributions to the Plans for 1998, 1997, 1996T and 1995 amounted to
approximately $281,000, $140,000, $43,000 and $43,000, respectively.

accelerated depreciation for tax purposes and straight-line depreciation for
financial reporting purposes, and contract rights acquired which are not
deductible for tax purposes.
 
  The net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $25 million, after a
reduction to reflect the limitation imposed under the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code regarding change of ownership, expire between fiscal
years 2001 through 2013. In addition, the net operating losses are subject to

8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
A. 1997 PUBLIC OFFERING
 
  On December 19, 1997, Coinmach Laundry completed an offering (the "1997
Stock Offering") of 4,600,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $19.75 per
share (including the issuance of 600,000 shares in connection with the
exercise of an underwriters' over-allotment option granted in connection
therewith). In connection with the 1997 Stock Offering, 2,665,000 shares were
sold by Coinmach Laundry and 1,935,000 shares were sold by certain
stockholders of the Company. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the
sale of shares by selling stockholders.
 
  Proceeds generated from the 1997 Stock Offering were approximately $49.9
million, after underwriting discounts and commissions and before expenses.
 
B. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
 
  On July 23, 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering (the
"Offering") of 4,120,000 shares of its Common Stock at an initial public
offering price of $14.00 per share.
 
  In connection with the Offering, the underwriters were granted a 30-day
option to purchase up to an aggregate of 618,000 additional shares of Common
Stock to cover over-allotments (the "Over-Allotment Option"), which Over-
Allotment Option was exercised on August 16, 1996 with respect to the purchase
of an additional 63,642 shares of Common Stock.
 
  Proceeds from the Offering were approximately $54.5 million (after giving
effect to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option), after underwriting
discounts and commissions and before expenses. After giving effect to the
redemption of the Preferred Stock (as described below), proceeds from the
Offering were approximately $35.3 million, before expenses.
 
  Prior to the Offering, the Company issued, in privately negotiated
transactions, 79,029 shares of its Class B common stock to certain members of
management. The Company recorded a stock based compensation charge in an
amount of approximately $887,000 attributable to the issuance of such stock in
1997. In addition, approximately $104,000 of outstanding receivables relating
to loans to management in connection with prior purchases of the Company's
common stock were forgiven and have been accounted for as a stock-based
compensation charge in 1998 and 1997.
 
C. RECLASSIFICATION AND STOCK SPLIT
 
  In connection with the Offering, the Company approved a reclassification
(the "Reclassification") of all of its capital stock pursuant to which all
seven classes of the previously issued and outstanding capital stock of the
Company prior to the Offering were converted into a class of preferred stock,
a class of voting common stock and a class of non-voting common stock. As part
of the Reclassification, holders of the Company's Class A common stock, Class
E common stock and Class F common stock immediately prior to the Offering
(collectively, the "Preference Shares") also received a distribution
consisting of shares of Common Stock and shares of Series A preferred stock,
par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), representing an amount equal
to the sum of: (a) preferred dividends on such Preference Shares in an amount
equal to the accrued yield
 
                                     F-21
<PAGE>
 
                 COINMACH LAUNDRY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
(at a rate of 8% per annum, compounded quarterly) on the original investment
in such Preference Shares through July 23, 1996; and (b) an amount equal to
the original investment in such Preference Shares. Holders of Preference
Shares who are members of the Company's management received an aggregate of
28,425 shares of Common Stock, and holders of the Preference Shares who were
not members of the Company's management received an aggregate of 1,000 shares
of Preferred Stock. In connection with the Reclassification, the Company also
approved an approximate 23-to-1 stock split (the "Stock Split") payable to
shareholders of record of the Company on July 12, 1996.
 
D. REDEMPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK
 
  Immediately following the Offering, approximately $19.2 million of the
proceeds of the Offering were used by the Company to retire all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.
 
E. STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
  Prior to the Offering, the Company adopted the 1996 Employee Stock Option
Plan (as amended and restated, the "Stock Option Plan") which provides that
the Company may grant options for the purchase of up to 1,109,147 shares of
common stock to key employees of the Company over a period not to exceed ten
years. The Company may grant incentive stock options or options which do not
qualify as incentive stock options at an exercise price per share not less
than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant.
All options granted under the Stock Option Plan vest over four years in five
equal installments (20% immediately) and expire ten years from the date of
grant.
 
  The Company has granted 253,750 options to various employees of the Company
pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, through March 31, 1998.
 
  On July 23, 1996, in connection with the Offering, the Company granted
certain nonqualified options (the "1996 Options") to certain members of
management (collectively, the "Option Holders") to purchase up to 735,618
shares of Common Stock at 85% of the initial offering price of the Common
Stock. On September 17, 1996, for the purpose of preserving the Option
Holders' percentage interest of Common Stock represented by the 1996 Options
(which percentage interest was decreased as a result of the exercise of the
Over-Allotment Option), the Company granted to the Option Holders additional
nonqualified stock options to purchase up to 3,819 shares of Common Stock (the
"Additional Options"). The 1996 Options and Additional Options vest in equal
annual installments (20% vested immediately on the date of grant and the
remainder over a four year period) commencing on July 23, 1996, the effective
date of the Offering. With respect to 1996 Options and Additional Options
granted to employees. The Company records the difference between the exercise
price and the initial offering price of Common Stock as a stock-based
compensation charge over the applicable four year vesting period.
 
  On September 17, 1996, the Company granted to certain directors each of whom
was appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company on such date to serve
as independent directors, options entitling each such director to purchase up
to 60,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Independent Director Options"). The
Independent Director Options vest in equal annual installments (25% vest
immediately on the date of grant and the remainder over a three year period),
commencing on September 17, 1996, and entitle each such director to purchase
shares of Common Stock at the initial public offering price of the Common
Stock. The Company records the difference between the exercise price of the
Independent Director Options and the fair market value of the Common Stock on
September 17, 1996 as a stock-based compensation charge over the applicable
three year vesting period.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  On September 5, 1997, Coinmach Laundry granted certain non-qualified options
(the "1997 Options") to certain members of management to purchase up to
200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.90 per share of
Common Stock. The 1997 Options vest in equal annual installments (20% vest
immediately on the date of grant and the remainder vest over a four year
period) commencing on September 5, 1997. The Company will record the
difference between the exercise price of the 1997 Options and the fair market
value of Common Stock on September 5, 1997 as a stock-based compensation
charge over the applicable four year vesting period.
 
  For the years ended March 31, 1998 and March 28, 1997, the Company has
recorded stock-based compensation charges of approximately $1,342,000 and
$1,161,000, respectively relating to the 1996 Options, the 1997 Options, the
Additional Options and the Independent Director Options.
 
  The Company has elected to comply with APB No. 25 and related
interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options because the
alternate fair value accounting provided for under SFAS No. 123 requires use
of option valuation models which were not developed for use in valuing such
employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized
only when the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options is less
than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant.
 
  In accordance with SFAS No. 123, pro forma information regarding net loss
and loss per common share has been determined as if the Company had accounted
for its employee stock options under the fair value method required by SFAS
No. 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of each
grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted
average assumptions for 1998 and 1997 risk-free interest rate of 5.9% and
6.6%; dividend yields of 0%, volatility factor of the expected market price of
the Company's common stock of 24.5% and a weighted-average expected life of
the options of five years.
 
  The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are
fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of
highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.
In management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a
reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options due to
changes in subjective input assumptions which may materially affect the fair
value estimate, and because the Company's employee stock options have
characteristics significantly different from those of traded options.
 
  For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the
options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting periods. The
Company's pro forma net loss and net loss per share are as follows:
