Item 1.   Business.
          --------

General

     Coyne International Enterprises Corp. ("CTS" or the "Company") provides
textile rental products and laundering services from 43 locations to customers
in diversified industries primarily throughout the eastern United States.
Textile rental products provided by the Company include workplace uniforms,
protective clothing, shop towels and other reusable absorbent products,
floormats; treated mops and other dust control products. The Company primarily
rents textile products to clients under laundry service contracts, but also
sells products to clients and launders client-owned items. Most of the Company's
accounts are subject to written service contracts. The Company's typical service
contract ranges in duration from three to five years with automatic "evergreen"
renewals, except upon prior written notice, and provides for significant
liquidated damages upon early termination by the customer. The Company's
products and services are distributed through its route-based distribution
system comprised of 18 industrial laundry plants, 24 sales, service and
distribution laundry terminals and one corporate sales office that allow the
Company to provide rental services to customers in geographic areas outside of
the immediate area of an industrial laundry plant. CTS manufactures shop towels,
dust mops, floormats and several other products used in the laundry business at
its Blue Ridge Textile Manufacturing, Inc., ("Blue Ridge"), manufacturing
subsidiary.
<PAGE>

     The Company focuses on the value-added aspects of the textile rental
business, such as the heavy soil (e.g., printing inks, oils and solvents) and
protective garment sectors. "Value-added" refers to the Company's attempt to
protect its customers from potential environmental liabilities by reducing the
amount of hazardous substances sent to landfills for disposal. In addition, the
Company assists its customers with OSHA compliance through its protective
garment programs. The Company's products and services assist customers with
their corporate image, the productivity and safety of their employees and the
environmental impact of their businesses. For example, the Company has built
industry-leading heavy soil laundry plants, which minimize its customers'
environmental exposure and have allowed the Company to carve out what it
believes is a leading position in the heavy soil sector of the textile rental
services industry. In addition, the Company works with clients to design, source
and manage protective uniform programs for specific applications, such as flame
or chemical retardant clothing for industrial workers. In addition, the Company
offers garment tracking technologies that provide its customers with superior
accountability for rented garments.

     The Company's customer base is diversified across a variety of industries.
Customers range in size from large nationally-recognized businesses such as
ALCOA, AK Steel, Oneida Ltd., United Technologies and Bristol Myers Squibb, to
smaller businesses, such as gas stations and other retail businesses. In
particular, the Company believes it is a leading provider of textile rental
services to the printing industry throughout its service area, with customers
including The New York Times and USA Today.

     The Company was founded and incorporated in New York in 1929 and has been
owned and operated by the Coyne family since its inception. The Company's
principal executive offices are located at 140 Cortland Avenue, Syracuse, New
York, 13221 and its telephone number is (315) 475-1626.

Industry Overview

     The textile rental industry in the United States, which had 1999 revenues
of approximately $10 billion, consists of two segments: the industrial segment
(uniforms, protective clothing, shop towels, floormats and dust control
products) and the linen segment (sheets, tablecloths and other linen items). In
2000, approximately 96% of the Company's business was derived from the
industrial segment. The primary product in the industrial segment is uniforms,
which accounted for approximately 47% of the Company's revenues in 2000. The
Industry's trade association, Textile Rental Services Association (TRSA), has
estimated that the uniform rental services segment of the textile rental
industry grew at a rate of 5.3% in 1999 and 6.2% in 1998.

     The Company believes that much of the uniform industry's overall growth has
resulted from an increasing number of companies choosing to use uniform rental
services to maintain a high-quality corporate image, improve employee safety,
productivity and morale, and reduce costs. In addition, the growth in jobs,
particularly in the service sector, has increased the number of potential
uniform wearers. The Company believes that the growth in the service sector will
continue to be the catalyst for overall rental industry growth. This growth
combined with projected growth rates of 29% for heating, ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC) firms, 23% growth for moving and packing industry firms, and
17% growth in the automobile service industry should ensure continued growth in
revenue from the service sector. CTS also believes that growth in the rental
segment of the industry in particular will be driven by the broad trends to
outsource non-core business functions.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     In addition, the Company believes its industry-leading environmental
capabilities and protective clothing expertise strategically position it to
realize long-term benefits from continuing government regulation of the
environment and the workplace. Increasingly stringent environmental regulations
have been the catalyst for a shift toward the outsourcing of laundering of heavy
soil items. In a report to Congress in connection with The Workers' Family
Protection Act, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), has stated that home laundering is inadequate in decontaminating work
clothes. The market for flame retardant clothing has been fueled by Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations holding employers
responsible for supplying appropriate clothing based on an evaluation of
potential workplace hazards. Employers are prohibited from supplying clothing
that, when exposed to flames or electrical arcs, could increase the extent of
wearer injury. Growth in demand for environmental services and protective
clothing is particularly valuable to the Company because these markets involve
long-term relationships with customers and make use of the Company's technical
knowledge of regulations, products, fabric types, climatic conditions and job
functions.

     Although the industrial textile rental industry includes several national
companies, the industry remains highly fragmented. According to "Textile
Rental," an industry trade magazine, there are over 1,600 textile rental
companies operating in the industrial segment of the industry, many of which are
single facility operators. The Company believes that many of these smaller
companies are being forced to exit the market due to a lack of economies of
scale and the cost of complying with increasingly stringent environmental
standards. The Company further believes that the industry will continue to
experience consolidation in the future and that strategic acquisition
opportunities will become available.

Products and Services

The Company provides its customers with personalized workplace uniforms and
protective work clothing in a broad range of styles, colors, sizes and fabrics.
The Company's uniform products include shirts, pants, jackets, coveralls,
jumpsuits, smocks, aprons and specialized protective wear, such as fire
retardant and chemical protective garments. The Company also offers non-garment
items and services, such as shop towels, floor mats, dust-control mops and other
textile products.

                                       3
<PAGE>

     The Company offers its customers a range of garment service options,
including full-service rental programs in which garments are owned, cleaned and
serviced by the Company and lease programs in which garments are cleaned and
maintained by its customers' individual employees. The Company also offers the
opportunity to purchase garments and related items directly. As part of its
full-service rental business, the Company picks up a customer's soiled uniforms
or other items on a periodic basis (usually weekly) and, at the same time,
delivers cleaned and processed replacement items. The Company's centralized
services, specialized equipment and economies of scale generally allow it to be
more cost-effective in providing garment services than customers could be by
themselves, particularly those customers with high employee turnover rates.
Accordingly, the Company believes its services are appealing to customers who
seek to outsource non-core functions. The Company's uniform programs help
customers foster greater corporate identity, present a consistent, high-quality
image and improve employee safety, productivity and morale.

     The Company offers its customers "green" programs which focus on pollution
prevention. These programs are based on the Company's shop towel product which
is highly absorbent and reusable. CTS is endorsed by many of the state and
regional printing associations and services large printing operations such as
The New York Times and USA Today. Further, the Company offers its customers
Reusable Absorbent Systems ("RAS") socks and pads. RAS products provide
customers with environmentally responsible alternatives to single-use disposable
absorbents and promote the EPA policy of waste minimization. RAS programs are in
place at many large national accounts such as General Motors and United
Technologies.

     The Company's industry-leading wastewater treatment capabilities allow it
to process textiles contaminated with petroleum, chemical solvents or printing
inks that require specialized cleaning services that comply with environmental
regulations. These facilities capture waste solvents and oils in liquid form and
then recycle this liquid waste as a supplemental fuel in a secondary fuel
recycling program. This technology reduces the amount of wastewater sludge sent
to landfills for disposal and reduces the customer's exposure to environmental
liability. As a result of the Company's superior environmental capabilities in
the heavy soil sector market, the Company estimates that most of the printing
associations in the eastern United States have endorsed CTS as the preferred
provider of heavy soil textile services. All CTS environmental matters are
managed by the Company's environmental team that includes a senior manager with
extensive experience both in the industry and as a former appointed official of
the EPA. This individual is recognized by both of the industry's principal trade
associations, the TRSA and the Uniform and Textile Service Association (UTSA),
as a leading industry expert in environmental matters and serves on their
respective environmental committees.

     Finally, the Company processes heavy soil textile products for many of its
competitors because these competitors do not have the same waste treatment
capabilities as CTS. This permits the Company to develop relationships with
laundries that may be sold in the ongoing market consolidation

                                       4
<PAGE>

The Company believes that it is one of the first industrial launderers to
implement bar-coding and radio frequency garment identification technologies.
These technologies allow the Company and its customers to track a garment from
pick-up at the customer's location through processing at the Company and
delivery back to the customer. Garment tracking is particularly important for
protective clothing because of its higher replacement cost. The Company is able
to provide customers with valuable information concerning the age of garments,
their physical location and usage history. In addition, customized reports are
available and customers have the option to have direct-link PC capability,
allowing them access to real-time information about individual employee
garments.

     Soiled textile items are returned to the laundry plant directly from the
route system. These items are sorted by soil type and water washed in highly
automated industrial laundry equipment using customized wash formulas that
ensure the cleanliness of these products while maximizing wear-life. Items are
then dried, sorted, folded and moved to the route staging area in the plant or
sent back to the terminal for distribution to the customer. Chemicals used in
dry cleaning operations are recycled. Waste-water from water washing is
processed in plant waste-water treatment facilities and discharged in accordance
with local municipal requirements.

Sourcing Activities

     The Company actively manages its supply chain and has, from time to time,
brought certain items in-house for manufacture on an opportunistic basis. For
example, due to the cost and inconsistent quality of shop towels available, the
Company began manufacturing shop towels in 1992. The Company is currently one of
the largest shop towel manufacturers in the United States. All of the shop
towels used in the Company's laundry business are produced at the Company's Blue
Ridge, Georgia manufacturing facility and are marketed under the Blue Ridge
name. Approximately one-half of Blue Ridge manufactured shop towels are sold to
customers other than CTS. Although other sources of shop towels are available,
the Company believes that the superior performance of the Blue Ridge shop towel,
particularly in terms of durability and absorption, is a significant advantage
in securing heavy soil business. Blue Ridge also manufactures dust mops, aprons,
laundry bags, walk-off mats and RAS socks.  The Blue Ridge operations
represented approximately 3.6% of the Company's external revenues in fiscal
2000.

     In order to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the North
American Free Trade Agreement, the Company manufactures garments in Mexico under
a subcontract agreement with a Mexican manufacturer. While the Company does not
anticipate substantial growth in its manufacturing operations, it continues to
consider manufacturing opportunities in order to gain an advantage in the
marketplace.

     In cooperation with a New Zealand based manufacturer, the Company
participated in the development of chemically protective and flame retardant
garments that comply with American National Standards Institute ("ANSI")
standards for exclusive distribution by CTS in the United States.

                                       5
<PAGE>

     The Company purchases other rental merchandise from a variety of sources
including Red Kap Industries, Alliance Textiles, Ltd., Best Manufacturing Inc.,
Eagle Work Clothes, Inc. and Workrite. The Company believes that it is not
dependent on any one supplier and that alternative sources are available at
comparable prices. The availability of alternative manufacturers and the
Company's ability to change suppliers and manufacture textile products allow it
to optimally meet its merchandise requirements in terms of quantity, quality and
price.

Customers

     The Company's customer base is diversified across a variety of industries
and customers range in size from large nationally-recognized businesses such as
ALCOA, Oneida Ltd., United Technologies and Bristol Myers Squibb, to smaller
businesses, such as gas stations and other retail businesses. Typical customers
include automobile service centers and dealers, delivery services, food and
general merchandise retailers, food processors and service operations,
manufacturers, maintenance facilities, printers and publishers, restaurants,
service companies, soft and durable goods wholesalers, transportation companies,
and others who require employee clothing for image, identification, protection
or utility purposes. The Company currently services approximately 40,000
accounts in diversified industries from 42 locations throughout the eastern
United States. During the past five years, no single customer accounted for more
than 8.0% of total revenues in any year.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

     In 1996, the Company made a strategic decision to leverage its investment
in laundry plants, laundry terminals and their waste-water treatment facilities
by focusing on the development of its professional sales force. The sales team
has grown from 25 professionals in 1996 to 65 in 2000. Sales associates market
the Company's products and services to potential customers and develop new
accounts. The selling efforts of the sales force are managed by regional sales
managers who are also responsible for major account relationships within their
region. Rental and direct sales programs on the national level are handled by
the National Account Marketing Department, which call directly on existing and
prospective rental and direct sale national accounts. The regional sales
managers and National Account Marketing Department report directly to the Vice
President of Sales and Marketing

     The Company's route salespeople continue to be an integral component of the
Company's sales and marketing efforts. Route salespeople have responsibility for
increasing sales to existing customers and establishing new customer
relationships along their routes. All of the Company's route salespeople are
paid commissions based on the weekly revenue of their route. Further, route
salespeople are incented to obtain an executed written contract from every
customer. CTS believes that its approach results in a professional sales team
that is highly motivated.

<PAGE>

Competition

     The industrial segment of the textile rental industry is highly
competitive. The Company believes that there are four competitors in the
industry with annual revenues in excess of $250 million each. These companies
account for over half of the industry's revenues. The Company believes that it
is one of a small group of companies that have revenues of $50 million to $250
million and which collectively account for approximately 25% of revenues from
the industrial segment. The remainder of the industry is made up of over 1,600
smaller businesses, many of which serve one or a limited number of markets or
geographic service areas.

     The Company believes that the primary competitive factors that affect its
operations are price and its ability to meet customers' product specifications,
which include design, quality and service. The Company believes it maintains
prices comparable to those of its major competitors. The Company also believes
that its ability to compete effectively is enhanced by its environmental
capabilities and its superior customer service and support.

Employees

     As of October 31, 2000, the Company had approximately 1,850 employees. CTS
is a party to 30 collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 800
employees. These bargaining agreements expire periodically through 2004. The
Company had no work stoppages in 2000 and one that occurred in 1999 with respect
to a bargaining unit of one of the Company's facilities. This stoppage
represented a limited number of employees and had no material impact on the
Company's operations. The Company believes that its relationships with both its
union and non-union employees are good.

Environmental Matters

     The Company and its operations are subject to various federal, state and
local laws and regulations governing, among other things, the generation,
handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous wastes
and other substances. In particular, industrial laundries use and must dispose
of detergent wastewater and other residues. The Company is attentive to the
environmental concerns surrounding the disposal of these materials and has
through the years taken measures to avoid their improper disposal.

     In the past, the Company has settled, or contributed to the settlement of,
actions or claims brought against the Company relating to the disposal of
hazardous materials and there can be no assurance that the Company will not have
to expend material amounts to remediate the consequences of any such disposal in
the future. There have been no environmental claims brought against the Company
that have had a material adverse effect.

     Under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") is authorized
to, among other things, designate certain contaminated facilities as Superfund
sites and seek from responsible parties the cost to clean-up that contamination.
The Company has in the past responded to a number of requests for information
from the EPA concerning the Company's alleged disposal of hazardous substances
at Superfund sites. The extent of

                                       7
<PAGE>

liability, if any, depends on a number of factors, such as (1) whether the
Company disposed of hazardous substances at one or more of those facilities, (2)
whether the Company or its waste hauling contractor selected the particular
disposal location, (3) the quantity and, under certain circumstances, the
toxicity of hazardous substances that were disposed and (4) whether the Company
was contractually indemnified by its waste hauling contractor for such potential
liability. The Company's policy is to accrue and charge to operations
environmental investigation and remediation expense when it is probable that a
liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable. The Company
continues to evaluate its exposures as additional information becomes available,
but it is not possible to accurately determine the extent of liability, if any,
at this time. The Company will vigorously defend itself against these claims.

     Further, under environmental laws, an owner or lessee of real estate may be
liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic
substances located on or in or emanating from such property, as well as related
costs of investigation and property damage. Such laws often impose liability
without regard to whether the owner or lessee knew of or was responsible for the
presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. There can be no assurances that
acquired or leased locations have been operated in compliance with environmental
laws and regulations or that future uses or conditions will not result in the
imposition of liability upon the Company under such laws or expose the Company
to third-party actions such as tort suits.

     In 1999, the EPA withdrew proposed categorical pre-treatment standards,
which would have formed the basis for a federal environmental regulatory
framework applicable to industrial laundry operations. Therefore, there will be

          ----------

As of October 31, 2000, the Company provided textile rental services from 43
facilities. The Company owns 22 of its facilities, including its corporate
headquarters in Syracuse, New York, and leases the balance of its facilities
pursuant to leases expiring between January 2001 and March 2005. The Company has
options to renew in most cases, except for leases for certain garages and small
distribution facilities which are leased on a month-to-month basis. The
Company's facilities consist primarily of laundry plants and laundry terminals.
A laundry plant processes and delivers textile rental products to customers or
to laundry terminals. A laundry terminal does not engage in production work, but
collects soiled inventory, transports it to the laundry plant for processing and
delivers processed inventory to customers. A laundry plant can also perform all
of the functions of a laundry terminal.

(1)  Interest expense for 1998 includes a $17,257 charge for the cost to redeem
     common stock warrants in excess of their book carrying value.

(2)  Represents the extraordinary charge attributable to the write-off of
     unamortized financing charges and original issue discount of $1,304, net of
     taxes of $365. These deferred charges originated in 1994 in connection with
     subordinated notes and other debt obligations redeemed in 1998.

(3)  Common stock warrants were issued in 1994 in connection with the issuance
     of subordinated notes. Such common stock warrants and subordinated notes
     were redeemed in 1998.

(4)  In 2000 the Company extended the amortization period, on a prospective
     basis, for certain rental merchandise in service, to a period which is more
     consistent with the useful lives of the merchandise. The impact on net
     income was an increase of approximately $420, net of taxes of $280. In
     the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company recognized the effect of
     certain adjustments, which resulted in an increase to net income. These
     adjustments, on a pre-tax basis, relate to the receipt of life insurance
     death benefits of $165 and reversal of accruals for deferred compensation
     arrangements and discretionary contributions to a benefit plan no longer
     required of $1,055. In aggregate the impact of these adjustments is an
     increase to net income of $732, net of taxes of $488.

Fiscal Year 2000 Compared to Fiscal Year 1999

     Total Revenue. Total revenues were $150.3 million in fiscal 2000,
representing an increase of $4.1 million or 2.8% as compared to $146.2 million
for fiscal 1999. The growth can be attributed to the new rental business written
by the Company's professional sales force, increases in service to existing
accounts and increases in revenue from ancillary charges.

     Cost of Rental Operations. Cost of rental operations of $102.5 million for
fiscal 2000 was 68.2% of total revenue for the period. This represents an
increase of 3.8% as compared to fiscal 1999 and can be attributed to increased
spending to improve customer service and increased natural gas and fuel costs.
In 2000 the Company extended the amortization period, on a prospective basis,
for certain rental merchandise in service, to a period which is more consistent
with the useful lives of the merchandise. The impact on net income was an
increase of approximately $0.4 million, net of taxes of $0.3 million.

     Cost of Direct Sales. Cost of direct sales of $5.9 million for fiscal 2000
was 3.9% of total revenue. Cost of direct sales was approximately 59.1% and
66.2% of direct sale revenue for fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
improved margin is attributable to a favorable change in product mix and
successful pricing initiatives in connection with certain products.

     Selling and Administrative Expense. Selling and administrative expense was
$23.7 million for fiscal 2000, representing a decrease of approximately $1.1
million or 4.5% versus fiscal 2000. Approximately half of this reduction can be
attributed to improved cost control and elimination of non-productive sales
positions.

<PAGE>

Additionally, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company recognized the
effect of certain adjustments, which resulted in an increase to net income.
These adjustments, on a pre-tax basis, relate to the receipt of life insurance
death benefits of $0.2 million and reversal of accruals for deferred
compensation arrangements and discretionary contributions to a benefit plan no
longer required of $1.1 million. In aggregate the impact of these adjustments is
an increase to net income of $0.7 million, net of taxes of $0.5 million.

     Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $6.5
million for fiscal 2000, representing an increase of approximately $0.7 million
or 11.4% over fiscal 1999. This increase is attributable to substantial
investments made in facilities and equipment, and information management systems
during 1998 and 1999.

     Income from Operations. Income from operations was $11.7 million for fiscal
2000 as compared to $9.8 million for fiscal 1999. This increase resulted
primarily from increased sales volumes, ancillary revenue and improved cost
control.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense was $11.2 million for fiscal 2000 and
$10.8 million for fiscal 1999, representing an increase of $0.4 million, or
3.4%. This increase is due to an increase in borrowings under the Company's
credit facilities to fund purchases of inventory for certain large contracts.

     Income Taxes. The Company's provision for income taxes of $0.6 million for
fiscal 2000 was $0.7 million higher than the tax expense for the prior year. The
effective tax rate is not comparable due to the influence of certain non-
deductible expenses such as the amortization of intangible assets and certain
meal and entertainment expenses.

     Net Income (Loss). Net loss of $0.2 million for fiscal 2000 compares with a
net loss of $1.0 million for fiscal 1999. This improvement was due to a
combination of revenue growth and tighter cost controls.

Fiscal Year 1999 Compared to Fiscal Year 1998

     Net Revenue. Net revenues were $146.2 million in fiscal 1999, representing
an increase of $7.5 million or 5.4% as compared to $138.7 million for fiscal
1998. However 1998 was a 53-week year versus the 52 weeks in 1999. After
removing the effect of the extra week in 1998, adjusted growth is actually 7.6%.
The growth can be attributed to the new rental business written by the Company's
expanded professional sales force, increases in service to existing accounts and
increases in revenue from ancillary charges.

     Cost of Rental Operations. Cost of rental operations of $103.8 million for
fiscal 1999 was 71.0% of total revenue for the period. This represents an
increase of 0.3% as compared to fiscal 1998. The increase can be attributed to
additional personnel in the customer service area, particularly District
Managers (DM). The Company has reduced the number of average routes per DM in an
effort to improve customer retention.

     Cost of Direct Sales. Cost of direct sales of $6.9 million for fiscal 1999
was 4.7% of total revenue. Cost of direct sales was approximately 66.2% and
70.3% of direct sale revenue for fiscal 1999 and 1998, respectively.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling general and
administrative expense was $25.7 million for fiscal 1999 representing an
increase of approximately $2.3 million or 9.8% over fiscal 1998. The increase is
comprised of a $1.7 million increase in administrative expenses and a $0.6
million increase in the cost of selling and marketing

     The increase in administrative expenses is attributable to the Company's
investment in key management personnel, particularly at the Vice President and
General Manager level. The Company believes this investment will enable it to
achieve significant profit improvements in 2000 and beyond. In addition,
administrative expenses in 1999 include approximately $0.5 million of
noncapitalizable expenses associated with the implementation of the company's
new billing and accounting computer systems.

     Income from Operations. Income from operations was $9.8 million for fiscal
1999 as compared to $10.2 million for fiscal 1998. This decrease resulted from
an increase in costs associated with the sales organization, senior management
personnel changes and implementation of the company's new computer systems.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense was $10.8 million for fiscal 1999 and
$25.4 million for fiscal 1998. Fiscal 1998 interest expense includes $17.3
million for the excess of the redemption cost over the book value of common
stock warrants. In addition, interest expense exceeded 1998 levels due to the
higher outstanding borrowings resulting from the warrant redemption and 1999
expenditures for capital assets and route acquisitions.

     Income Taxes. The Company's provision for recoverable taxes of $.06 million
for fiscal 1999 was $0.7 million lower than the tax expense for the prior year.
The effective tax rate between the periods is not comparable due to the
influences of non-deductible expenses, including the 1998 redemption of common
stock warrants and the amortization of certain intangible assets.

     Net Income (Loss). Net loss of $1.0 million for fiscal 1999 compares with a
net loss of $16.7 million for fiscal 1998. This improvement was due primarily to
the 1998 charge of $17.3 million associated with the common stock warrant
redemption agreement, offset in part by higher interest costs in 1999.

Seasonality

     The Company's operating results historically have been seasonally lower
during the third fiscal quarter (May, June and July) primarily because the
Company's floormat business is lower during this period than during the other
quarters of the fiscal year. Certain customers of CTS arrange to have the
floormats removed from their accounts during the late spring and early summer
months. In addition, schools and commercial customers reduce their business
during these months as a result of vacations and shutdowns.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources and Uses of Working Capital

     The Company's primary sources of liquidity have been cash flow from
operations and borrowings under the revolving credit facilities described below.

     The net loss of $0.2 million in fiscal 2000 represents an improvement of
$0.8 million as compared to a net loss of $1.0 million in fiscal 1999. Cash used
in operating activities was $3.9 million for fiscal 2000 and $0.2 million for
fiscal 1999, an increase of $3.7 million. This increase was the result of
increased purchases of rental merchandise to meet the requirements of certain
new contracts. Cash used in investing activities was $3.9 million in fiscal
2000, which represents a $5.3 decrease from fiscal 1999. During fiscal 1999, the
Company had made significant one-time investments in improved computer systems
and equipment, which account for a large portion of this decrease.

     On June 26, 1998, the Company raised $75.0 million through the offer and
sale of senior subordinated notes. Such notes bear interest at 11 1/4 % per
annum from June 26, 1998, payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each
year, commencing on December 1, 1998. The proceeds of the offer and sale of such
notes were used mainly to retire the majority of the Company's long-term debt
and to redeem outstanding common stock warrants. After giving consideration to
an amendment dated January 25, 2001, the facility provides for (i) a $30.0
million revolving credit facility subject to collateral availability, (ii) a
$15.0 million capital expenditure facility and (iii) a $10.0 million acquisition
facility. As of October 31, 2000, after giving consideration to an amendment of
its credit agreement, the Company had available borrowing capacity of
approximately $3.2 million on the revolving credit facility, $10.2 million on
the capital expenditure facility, and $8.2 million on the acquisition facility.

     The Company's working capital was $29.0 million at October 31, 2000
compared to $20.1 million at October 31, 1999. The $8.9 million increase
primarily represents investments in inventories, due to delays in installation
at certain customer locations, and rental merchandise in service, financed
through the long-term revolver.

Anticipated Shareholder Redemptions

     In fiscal 2000, the principal shareholder of the Company, J. Stanley Coyne,
passed away. As a result, the estate of the shareholder will be required to pay
certain estate tax liabilities over an estimated fifteen-year period. Although
the Company has no legal obligation or agreement to purchase or redeem any of
the preferred or common stock of the Company held by the estate, it is
anticipated that the Company will redeem or purchase certain shares of stock
held by the estate in order for the estate to meet its tax obligations as they
become due. The Company, under the indenture for its senior subordinated notes,
is permitted to redeem equity interests of the Company in order to satisfy
estate obligations of the principal shareholder. However, the annual redemptions
are not permitted to exceed $1.0 million in each of the second, third, fourth,
fifth and sixth calendar years and $2.25 million in each of the seventh, eighth,

                                       15
<PAGE>

ninth and tenth calendar years following the death of the shareholder, plus an
additional $2.0 million in calendar year 2003, subject to certain provisions.

Pending Internal Revenue Service Audit

     The Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") is currently examining the
consolidated federal income tax returns of the Company for the years ended
October 31, 1997 and 1998. During the course of this examination, the Service
has proposed certain adjustments to these returns. The proposed adjustments
relate primarily to the timing of deductions taken for certain in-service
inventory items. The Company intends to vigorously contest the Service's
proposed adjustments and believes that the outcome of this will not have a
material adverse effect on its equity, results of operations, liquidity and
capital resources. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will
successfully defend its positions.

Liquidity

     The Company is highly leveraged, with total indebtedness of approximately
$106 million and a shareholder deficit of $8.7 million. Accordingly, the
Company's primary source of liquidity has been cash flows from operations and
borrowing under its existing credit facilities. In fiscal 2000, as a result of
new business opportunities, the Company experienced increases in its inventory
and uniforms in service. These increases directly accounted for the increase in
the Company's revolving credit facility. As of October 31, 2000, after giving
consideration to an amendment which increased the Company's line of credit, the
Company had available borrowing capacity of approximately $3.2 million.

     Over the next twelve months the company is focusing on utilization of
existing inventories and strategically increasing its revenue base through
further penetration of new and existing markets. . The continuation of tight
capital expenditure control, improved operating profits, and the renewed focus
on inventory control is expected to enhance the Company's liquidity position.
Based on the fiscal 2001 operating budget, the Company expects that it will be
able to meet its obligations as they become due, but there can be no assurances.

     The Company's current bank credit facilities extend until 2003. However,
management is presently evaluating its overall financial obligations to ensure
adequate financing is available to fund it business operations and the
anticipated cash flow requirements of the estate of the principal shareholder of
the Company.

Effects of Inflation

     Inflation has had the effect of increasing the reported amounts of the
Company's revenues and costs. However, the Company believes that it has been
able to recover increases in costs attributable to inflation through increases
in its prices and improvements in its productivity.

Item 7a.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
          ----------------------------------------------------------

          The Company manages interest rate risk by using a combination of
variable and fixed rate debt, as well as interest rate swap agreements. The
Company's earnings are affected by changes in short-term interest rates due to
the use of variable rate notes and revolving credit facilities amounting to
approximately $31.2 million. This exposure is limited by the use of interest
rate swap agreements as a hedge against the variability in short-term rates. At
October 31, 2000, approximately $3.1 million of the Company's variable-rate debt
was covered under interest rate swap agreements. The interest rate swap
agreements are entered into for periods consistent with related underlying
exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. The
Company does not enter into contracts for speculative purposes, nor is it a
party to any leveraged instrument. If short-term rates increase by one-half
percent, (50 basis-points), the Company's interest expense would increase, and
income before taxes would decrease, by approximately $0.1 million. Conversely,
if short-term rates decrease by one-half percent, (50 basis-points), the
Company's interest expense would decrease, and income before taxes would
increase, by approximately $0.1 million.

     No officer of the Company serves as a member of the Human Resources and
Compensation Committee. Transactions with certain of the members of such
committee are discussed below under "Professional Services."

Certain Transactions with Members of the Coyne Family

     At the Company's discretion, the Company has made salary continuation
payments of $100,000 per year to each of J. Stanley Coyne, a principal
shareholder of the Company, and Gerald Coyne, a son of J. Stanley Coyne,
including payments of such amounts in each of the last three fiscal years. Both
J. Stanley Coyne and Gerald Coyne are former officers and executive employees of
the Company. The salary continuation payments are discretionary compensation
payments made by the Company. In addition, at the Company's discretion it has
paid certain medical and personal expenses of J. Stanley Coyne aggregating
approximately $150,000, $93,000, and $112,000 during the fiscal years ended
October 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The salary continuation and
medical expense payments ceased during fiscal 2000 upon the death of J. Stanley
Coyne.

     The Company has an outstanding note receivable from the estate of J.
Stanley Coyne in the amount of $1,264,355. This note bears interest at the
applicable federal rate as determined by the Internal Revenue Service (6.3% at

J. Stanley Coyne.

     During fiscal 2000, the Company made premium payments of $356,000 pursuant
to a split-dollar life insurance agreement, (the "agreement"), between the
Company and Thomas M. Coyne. The agreement relates to insurance policies on the
life of Thomas M. Coyne and provides for a collateral assignment of such
policies to the Company entitling it to recover the aggregate amount of premiums
paid under the agreement. Furthermore, the Company is permitted to terminate the
agreement at any time. As of October 31, 2000, the Company has paid aggregate
premiums of $356,000 under this agreement. However, this recoverable amount is
not reflected on the Company's balance sheet.

     The Company has an uncollateralized outstanding note receivable from Thomas
M. Coyne in the amount of $325,000. The note bears interest at 10% and matures

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Business Description

     Coyne International Enterprises Corp., (the Company), is a full-service
     provider of work garments, shop towels, floor mats, dust mops, and other
     accessories. The Company manufactures, rents, cleans, and sells these items
     throughout the eastern United States.

     Principles of Consolidation and Revenue Recognition

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
     and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All intercompany
     accounts have been eliminated.

     The Company recognizes rental revenues when the services are performed.
     Direct sales are recognized when products are shipped to customers.

     Fiscal Year

     The Company's fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in October. Fiscal
     years 2000, 1999, and 1998 were 52, 52, and 53 weeks long, respectively.
     For convenience, the dating of the accompanying financial statements, and
     notes herein, have been labeled as of and for the years ended October 31,
     2000, 1999, and 1998, rather than the actual fiscal year end dates.

     Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
     management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
     liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
     amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate
     results could differ from those estimates.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
     maturity of three months or less, at date of purchase, to be cash
     equivalents.

     Inventories

     The Company accounts for its inventory on the lower of first-in, first-out
     (FIFO) cost or market.

     Rental Merchandise in Service

     Rental garments, mats and towels in service are carried at cost and
     amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated income-producing
     lives, ranging principally from 10 to 60 months. Effective November 1,
     1999, the Company changed the related amortization periods, on a
     prospective basis, for certain rental merchandise in service, from 12
     months to 18 months, which is more consistent with their respective useful
     lives. The impact on net income for the year ended October 31, 2000 was an
     increase of approximately $420,000, net of taxes of $380,000.

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

     Property, Plant and Equipment

     The Company provides for depreciation on the straight-line method based on
     the following estimated useful lives, in years:

             Building improvements                   15-40
             Machinery and equipment                  3-10
             Vehicles                                 3-8

     Construction in process consists primarily of capital expenditures for
     plant renovations and vehicle re-builds. Maintenance and repairs are
     charged to expense when incurred.

     Purchased Routes and Acquisition Intangibles

     The Company's acquisitions of rental operations and routes have generally
     been accounted for by using the purchase method. The purchase method
     allocates the amounts paid to the net assets acquired based on their
     respective fair values. The amounts paid in excess of fair value of the
     acquired net assets and goodwill acquired after October 31, 1970, are
     amortized on a straight-line basis over 15-40 years. The Company assesses
     the recoverability of purchased routes and acquisition intangibles by
     determining whether the amortization of such assets over the remaining life
     can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows and
     reviews for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, (e.g.,
     plant closure), indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
     fully recoverable.

     Routes acquired prior to November 1, 1970 are carried at a cost of
     $764,310. These intangibles are also regularly evaluated, and, in the
     opinion of management, have not diminished in value, and accordingly, have
     not been amortized.

     The Company has certain contracts with non-compete arrangements which are
     charged to operations on a straight-line basis over the periods of the
     respective agreements, which range from 5 to 10 years.

     Deferred Financing Costs

     Deferred financing costs incurred in obtaining long-term debt are stated at
     cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of deferred financing
     costs is provided using the effective interest write-off method over the
     term of the obligation.

     Other Liabilities

     The Company, under certain insurance programs, retains portions of expected
     losses primarily relating to workers' compensation and employees' medical
     insurance. A provision for claims under the self-insured program is
     recorded based upon the Company's estimate, after consultation with
     insurance advisors, of the aggregate liability for claims incurred.

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and trade accounts payable
     approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
     The fair value of the Company's senior subordinated notes as of October 31,
     2000 was approximately $60,000,000. The fair value of the Company's other
     long-term obligations approximated their carrying value at October 31,
     2000.

     Income Taxes

     The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax
     return, and, where required, state tax returns. Provisions for deferred
     taxes are recognized based on the difference between the financial
     statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates
     in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

     Accounting Pronouncement

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
     Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
     Statements." SAB No. 101 provides guidance on the recognition, presentation
     and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. SAB No. 101 outlines
     basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance
     for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. The Company will be
     required to implement SAB No. 101 no later that the fourth quarter of its
     fiscal year ending October 31, 2001. The provisions of SAB No. 101 are not
     expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
     statements.

     Recently Issued Accounting Statements: In June 1998, the Financial
     Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
     Activities for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The FASB
     required all derivatives be measured at fair value and recorded on a
     company's balance sheet as an asset or liability, depending upon the
     company's underlying rights or obligations associated with the derivative
     instrument. The Company will be required to implement SFAS No. 133 in the
     first quarter of the fiscal year ending October 31, 2001. The impact of the
     adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material impact on the
     Company's financial position or results of operations, although it may
     result in additional disclosure in the future.

     Reclassification

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current
     year presentation.

2.   Liquidity

     The Company is highly leveraged with total indebtedness of approximately
     $106,000,000 and a shareholder deficit of approximately $8,700,000.
     Accordingly, the Company's primary source of liquidity has been cash flows
     from operations and borrowing under its existing credit facilities. In
     fiscal 2000, as a result of new business opportunities, the Company
     experienced increases in its inventory and uniforms in service. These
     increases directly accounted for the increase in the Company's revolving
     credit facility. As of October 31, 2000, after giving consideration to an
     amendment which increased the Company's line of credit, the Company had
     available borrowing capacity of approximately $3,200,000.

2.   Liquidity (Continued)

     Over the next twelve months the Company is focusing on utilization of
     existing inventories and strategically increasing its revenue base through
     further penetration of new and existing markets. The continuation of tight
     capital expenditure control, improved operating profits, and the renewed
     focus on inventory control is expected to enhance the Company's liquidity
     position. Based on the fiscal 2001 operating budget, the Company expects
     that it will be able to meets its obligations as they become due, however,
     there can be no assurance.

     The Company's current credit facilities extend until 2003. However,
     management is presently evaluating its overall financial obligations to
     ensure adequate financing is available to fund its business operations, the
     anticipated cash flow requirements of the estate of the principal
     shareholder of the Company (Note 9), and any potential negative cash flow
     impact pertaining to the pending Internal Revenue Service examination (Note
     7).

3.   Acquisitions

     During 2000 and 1999, the Company acquired certain assets of industrial
     laundries in transactions accounted for as purchase transactions. The
     aggregate cash purchase price of these assets was allocated as follows:

                                                2000              1999

     Purchased routes                         $   956,000       $   939,000
     Covenants not to compete                      12,000           517,000

     The Company has noncancellable operating lease commitments for certain
     operating facilities, equipment, and vehicles. Rent expense under operating

</TABLE>

       The prime rate at October 31, 2000 and 1999 was 9.50% and 8.25%,
       respectively. The LIBOR rate at October 31, 2000 and 1999 was 6.62% and
       6.375%, respectively.

       (a)  Under the Company's existing credit facility, (the Agreement), a
            revolving credit facility, (the Revolver), is available to the
            Company through November 1, 2003, extending automatically for
            successive periods of one year each, at the discretion of the
            lender, but in no event later than November 1, 2008. Collateral
            pledged under the Agreement includes all inventory, rental
            merchandise in service and accounts receivable. Based upon the
            January 25, 2001 amended credit facility, the maximum available
            credit is computed based on eligible accounts receivable, inventory
            and uniforms in service, as defined and may not exceed $30,000,000.
            As of October 31, 2000, after giving consideration to the January
            25, 2001 amendment, the Company has approximately $3,200,000
            available under the Revolver.

            The terms of the Agreement include various covenants, which provide,
            among other things, for the maintenance of certain minimum levels of
            cash flow and limitations on leverage and capital expenditures at
            defined measurement dates. As of October 31, 2000, the Company was
            in compliance with all debt covenants.

6.     Long-Term Obligations (Continued)

            In addition, the Agreement includes a material adverse change clause
            which permits the Bank to call its debt in the event of a material
            adverse change in the business. Management does not anticipate any
            such adverse changes in the next twelve months; however, there can
            be no assurances.

            The Agreement also provides for an acquisition facility of up to
            $10,000,000 and a capital expenditure facility of up to $15,000,000
            after the January 25, 2001 amendment. The Agreement calls for annual
            mandatory prepayments of these facilities if sufficient excess cash
            flow is generated. A mandatory prepayment is not required in fiscal
            2000 based upon financial results for the year ended October 31,
            2000. In the event of termination of the Revolver, all unpaid
            balances under the acquisition and capital expenditure facilities
            will become due.

       (b)  On June 26, 1998, pursuant to a purchase agreement dated June 23,
            1998, the Company sold, at par, $75,000,000 of 11-1/4% Senior
            Subordinated Notes due 2008, (the Notes). The proceeds of the Notes
            were used primarily to retire certain existing debt obligations,
            redeem outstanding redeemable common stock warrants, and for general
            corporate purposes.

            The Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company after May 31,
            2003 at redemption prices beginning at 105.625% and declining to
            100.0% in 2006. The Note agreement includes covenants which restrict
            the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness, pay
            dividends, issue preferred stock and make certain restricted
            payments, as defined.

            In May 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with its then
            existing senior subordinated noteholders to redeem the outstanding
            common stock warrants for $19,000,000 comprised of $6,000,000 for
            the warrants, $11,000,000 for an early termination fee and
            $2,000,000 for a management fee. The excess of this settlement over
            the book value of the stock warrants has been reported as a charge
            to interest expense of $17,257,000 in the accompanying financial
            statements.

            In connection with the retirement of debt obligations discussed
            above, the Company recognized an extraordinary charge of $939,055,
            net of a $365,000 income tax benefit, for the write-off of related
            deferred financing and unamortized issue discounts.

       At October 31, 2000, payments due on all debt obligations for each of the
       next five years and thereafter are as follows:

7.     Income Taxes

       Pending Internal Revenue Service Audit

       The Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") is currently examining the
       consolidated federal income tax returns of the Company for the years
       ended October 31, 1997 and 1998. During the course of this examination,
       the Service has proposed certain adjustments to these returns. The
       proposed adjustments relate primarily to the timing of deductions taken
       for certain in-service inventory items. The Company is in the process of
       responding to these proposed adjustments and intends to vigorously
       contest the Service's proposed adjustments. However, there can be no
       assurances that the Company will successfully defend its position.

       Other

       The components of income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended
       October 31, were as follows:

</TABLE>

       For income tax purposes, the Company has net operating loss and
       alternative minimum tax (AMT) credit carryforwards of approximately
       $13,142,000 and $1,860,000, respectively. The net operating loss
       carryforward expires through 2020 and the AMT credit is available
       indefinitely. Realization of the deferred income tax assets relating to
       these net operating losses is dependent on generating sufficient taxable
       income prior to the expiration of the loss carryforwards. Based upon
       results of operations or through the reversal of future taxable income,
       management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will
       generate sufficient future taxable income to fully realize the benefit of
       the net operating loss carryforwards and existing temporary differences,
       although there can be no assurance of this.

       A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate and the
       Company's effective income tax rate is as follows:

                                                  2000        1999        1998

8.     Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

       The Company and its operations are subject to various federal, state and
       local regulations relating to environmental matters, including laws which
       require the investigation and, in some cases, remediation of
       environmental contamination. The Company's policy is to accrue and charge
       to operations environmental investigation and remediation expenses on an
       undiscounted basis when it is probable that a liability has been incurred
       and an amount is reasonably estimable.

       Certain claims have been filed or are pending against the Company arising
       from the conduct of its business. In the opinion of management, all
       matters are without merit and the Company intends to defend such claims
       vigorously. Based on information currently available, management believes
       that the outcome of any such claims will not have a material adverse
       effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

9.     Related Party Transactions

       Shareholder Redemptions

       In fiscal 2000, the principal shareholder of the Company passed away. As
       a result, the estate of the shareholder will be required to pay certain
       estate tax liabilities over an estimated fifteen-year period. Although
       the Company has no legal obligation or agreement to purchase or redeem
       any of the preferred or common stock of the Company held by the estate,
       it is anticipated that the Company will redeem or purchase certain shares
       of stock held by the estate in order for the estate to meet its tax
       obligations as they become due.

9.     Related Party Transactions (Continued)

       Shareholder Redemptions (Continued)

       The Company, under the indenture for its senior subordinated notes, is
       permitted to redeem equity interests of the Company in order to satisfy
       estate-planning obligations of the estate of the principal shareholder.
       However under the provisions of the indenture, the annual redemptions are
       not permitted to exceed $1.0 million in each of the second, third,
       fourth, fifth and sixth calendar years and $2.25 million in each of the
       seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth calendar years following the death of
       the shareholder, plus an additional $2.0 million in calendar year 2003,
       subject to certain provisions.

       Other

       At the Company's discretion, the Company had made salary continuation
       payments totaling $100,000 per year to each of J. Stanley Coyne, a
       principal shareholder of the Company, and Gerald Coyne, a son of J.
       Stanley Coyne, including payments of such amounts in each of the last
       three fiscal years. In addition, at the Company's discretion it has paid
       certain medical and personal expenses of J. Stanley Coyne aggregating
       approximately $150,000, $93,000, and $112,000 during the fiscal years
       ended October 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The salary
       continuation and medical expense payments ceased during fiscal 2000 upon
       the death of J. Stanley Coyne.

       Included in shareholder receivables is an outstanding note receivable
       from the estate of J. Stanley Coyne in the amount of $1,264,355. This
       note bears interest at the Applicable Federal Rate as defined by the
       Internal Revenue Service, 6.30%, at October 31, 2000. Interest income on
       the note was not recognized during the fiscal years ended October 31,
       2000, 1999, and 1998. The total amount due as of October 31, 2000 is
       approximately $1,591,000. It is anticipated that this receivable will be
       settled through the redemption of either common or preferred stock held
       by the estate.

       Included in shareholder receivables at October 31, 2000 and 1999 are a
       note receivable and outstanding advancements, of approximately $445,000
       and $434,000, respectively. These monies are due from Thomas M. Coyne,
       Chairman of the Board and President of the Company. The note receivable
       and advances are uncollateralized. Interest on the note accrues at 10%
       and is payable annually. The note matures August 31, 2007.

       During fiscal 2000, the Company made premium payments of $356,000
       pursuant to a split-dollar life insurance agreement, (the "agreement"),
       between the Company and Thomas M. Coyne. The agreement relates to
       insurance policies on the life of Thomas M. Coyne and provides for a
       collateral assignment of such policies to the Company entitling it to
       recover the aggregate amount of premiums paid under the agreement.
       Furthermore, the Company is permitted to terminate the agreement at any
       time. As of October 31, 2000, the Company has paid aggregate premiums of
       $356,000 under this agreement. However, this recoverable amount is not
       reflected on the Company's balance sheet.

       As of October 31, 2000 and 1999 there are approximately $257,000 and
       $193,000, respectively, of interest bearing loans receivable from certain
       related family members as a result of monthly cash advances. Interest
       income on these notes was not recognized in 2000 and 1999. The advances
       are unsecured and bear interest at 9.5% per annum. The advances have no
       defined repayment terms, however, it is anticipated that these advances
       will be settled through redemptions of preferred and or common stock held
       by the estate of J. Stanley Coyne.

10.    Pension Plans

       All full-time nonunion and certain union employees are eligible to
       participate in the Company's 401(k) plan after one year of service. The
       Company matches a portion of the employees' salary reduction
       contributions and can make additional contributions at its discretion.
       The Company contributions under the 401(k) plan, which vest over a
       five-year employment period, were approximately $421,000, $719,000, and
       $637,000 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. The Company has elected
       not to make a discretionary contribution in fiscal 2000. Certain
       employees of the Company are covered by union sponsored, collectively
       bargained, multi-employer pension plans (Union Plans). The Company
       charged to expense $1,390,000, $1,430,000, and $1,176,000 in 2000, 1999,
       and 1998, respectively, for such plans. These contributions are
       determined in accordance with the provisions of negotiated labor
       contracts and generally are based on the number of hours worked. The
       Company may be liable for its share of unfunded vested benefits, if any,
       related to the Union Plans. Information from the Union Plans'
       administrators is not available to permit the Company to determine its
       share, if any, of unfunded vested benefits.

       The Company maintains a defined benefit plan for certain employees at one
       of its plants. The most recent valuation stated an accumulated plan
       benefit obligation of approximately $602,000 and plan assets with a fair
       market value of approximately $1,323,000.
