--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

   SpinCycle, Inc. ("SpinCycle"), a Delaware corporation, was founded in October
1995 to develop and implement SpinCycle's unique concept of a national chain of
branded coin-operated laundromats and to serve as a platform for a nationwide
consolidation in the coin-operated laundromat industry. SpinCycle was formed
with the goal of becoming the leading operator of high quality coin-operated
laundromats in the United States by establishing SpinCycle as a national brand,
providing a superior level of customer service and by exercising disciplined
management control in executing its business plan. In sharp contrast to many
existing laundromats, a SpinCycle laundromat is an inviting, spacious and
well-equipped facility that is conveniently located, clean, well-lighted and
always attended.

   Since opening our first store in April 1996, we have acquired and developed
stores at a rapid pace. By year-end 1996 we had opened 14 stores, in 1997 we
added 57 stores, in 1998 we added 93 stores (in 1998 we closed one store
following a lease buyout by a landlord) and in 1999 we had a net increase of
nine stores (in 1999 we closed three stores that were purchased in previous
years as part of multi-location acquisitions). As of March 27, 2000, we had 172
stores in 25 markets, including 109 developed stores and 63 acquired stores. Our
stores are located primarily in densely populated urban markets. During 2000, we
anticipate selective expansion within our existing markets. We expect our growth
during 2000 to be significantly less than our growth in previous years, as
future growth will be contingent upon raising additional growth capital (See
ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations - Overview herein).

   Our developed stores are generally between 3,500 and 5,500 square feet,
significantly larger than the 1,500 to 2,500 square feet of a typical
laundromat, and generally contain 50 washers of varied capacities and 54 large
capacity dryers. Each store is staffed during operating hours by at least one
customer service representative who assists customers, maintains the facility
and performs other services, if offered. Customers can sort and fold laundry
while watching color television with cable programming at 12 to 14 folding
stations and purchase food, beverages and laundry supplies from vending
machines. Our acquired stores typically conform to a SpinCycle developed store
in terms of location (physical location and area demographics), store size and
machine mix and converted to a SpinCycle store with new signage, fresh paint and
installation of our computer and point of sale systems.

   We have employed a systematic two-pronged approach of opportunistic
development and consolidation. We approach expansion methodically, utilizing our
knowledge of our customer as the basis for our growth. We base our expansion
decisions on a careful examination of the market. Utilizing demographic studies
which analyze the concentration of the typical SpinCycle customer, we determine
target markets and define trade areas within these markets, then
opportunistically develop or acquire stores that meet, or can be converted to
meet, our target store economics.

       In order to maximize machine utilization, and increase store revenue we
have introduced several new initiatives as potential revenue generators to our
stores. In 1998, we introduced the following programs:

     WASH & FOLD whereby customers deliver their laundry to our stores and our
     staff washes, dries and folds it, generally within one day. We have made a
     significant effort to create a uniform, branded service of our Wash & Fold
     service by, among other things, training our employees in consistent
     performance, folding, separation and packaging of each customer's laundry.
     We use premium soap, softeners and other laundry products in this service,
     and our goal is to create a consistent, premium service chain-wide. As of
     December 26, 1999 we were offering Wash & Fold in approximately 80% of our
     stores.

                                       3
<PAGE>   4
     FULL-SIZED LAUNDRY SOAP SALES in our stores in addition to the single
     load-sized boxes of laundry soap that are dispensed through vending
     machines. The introduction of these products has proven to be a significant
     customer convenience, and as of December 26, 1999 we were offering
     full-sized laundry soap sales in approximately 95% of our stores.

     DRY CLEANER DEPOT whereby we provide our Wash & Fold service, branded as
     "TLC" or "Total Laundry Care", to dry cleaners who elect to offer the
     service at their store. The dry cleaner collects the laundry and delivers
     it to a designated SpinCycle location. We process the laundry overnight for
     pick-up by the dry cleaner.

   In October 1999, based on the success of the programs we initiated in 1998,
we began test marketing a pick-up and delivery service for home laundry in the
Miami market. Customers of the service have their everyday laundry picked up,
professionally laundered and then returned to them at their home or office. In
addition to everyday laundry, the subscribers to this service can have their dry
cleaning picked up, processed by a third-party dry cleaning partner, and
returned to them. In order to initiate the service, customers can visit our web
site (www.e-wash.com) or call a toll free number. The customer is provided with
either a small (approximately 15 lbs.), medium (approximately 25 lbs.), or large
(approximately 40 lbs.) bag in which to place the customer's laundry to be
processed. The bag is returned to the customer washed, dried and folded along
with all of their laundry.

     Initial demand for this service has been strong. The laundry is typically
being processed between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. (hours our stores
are not open to retail customers). We are currently processing the laundry in
two of our Miami stores and utilizing five vans for pick-up and delivery. In
addition, we have converted previously unused adjacent storage space at one of
these stores into a call center and dispatching hub. We believe that we are
uniquely positioned to offer this service on a national basis in that we have
processing facilities in 25 markets across the United States.

   The Coin Laundry Association estimates the coin-operated laundromat business
is a $2.0 - $3.0 billion industry with approximately 25,000 laundromats
nationwide. The industry is generally characterized by small, unattractive
stores with limited customer service. The industry is highly fragmented with
approximately 89% of the owners operating two or fewer stores and only 4% of the
owners operating more than five stores. Although there is no single chain of
laundromats with which we compete on a national basis, we experience significant
competition in all of our markets from local "mom and pop" operators, and in
some markets, from local or regional chains. In Texas, for example, we compete
against Kwik Wash, which is a chain of approximately 150 stores owned by
Coinmach Corporation, a publicly traded company. While Coinmach Corporation has
substantially greater resources than SpinCycle, their laundromats are on average
smaller, deliver significantly inferior service and, in general, we believe they
pose little competitive threat. We also compete against other laundry services,
including laundry facilities available in apartment buildings, which are often
run by large route operators whose resources are often substantially greater
than ours.

   As of December 26, 1999, we had 959 total employees of whom 490 are full time
and 469 are part-time. Each of our full-time employees is eligible for medical
benefits, which management believes helps us hire and retain the best available
employees. Our part-time employees work primarily in our stores and are engaged
primarily in customer service functions.


ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

   As of December 26, 1999, we had opened a total of 172 stores in 25 markets.
SpinCycle stores are generally located in densely populated urban markets,
including Albuquerque, Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas,
Detroit, El Paso, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami,
Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Norfolk, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Richmond, San Antonio,
San Diego, St. Louis, Washington, D.C. and West Palm Beach. Our stores generally
range in size from 3,500 to 5,500 square feet. We lease 166 of these locations
and own the real estate where six of these stores are operating. As of March 27,
2000 we were also

                                       4
<PAGE>   5

party to four leases for stores which we do not believe we will open in 2000.
Our store leases are generally for ten-year initial terms with four five-year
renewal options. SpinCycle leases its headquarters, which is located at 15990
North Greenway Hayden Loop, Suite 400, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260 pursuant to a
five year lease with two five-year renewal options.


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


   We are currently involved in various legal proceedings of a character
normally incident to businesses like ours. We do not believe that the outcome of
these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition
or results of operations of our company.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

   None.

PART II

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

   During the year ended December 26, 1999 we issued options to purchase an
aggregate of 3,156 shares of our common stock to our employees, all of which
have an exercise price of $200 and substantially all of which vest 20% per year
on each anniversary of grant. In addition, we issued options to purchase an
aggregate of 120 shares of our common stock to our non-employee directors, all
of which have an exercise price of $200 and all of which vest one-third per year
on each anniversary of grant. There is no public market for any of our equity
securities. As of March 27, 2000, we had approximately 44 holders of our common
stock and approximately 173 holders of our equity securities. We have not paid
any dividends and do not expect to pay any dividends in the near future.











ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

   The following table reflects our summary historical financial and certain
other data for the periods indicated, and should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements, including the related notes thereto, and "Management's

year was for the period from January 1, 1996 through December 31, 1996. On
December 1, 1997, we elected to change our financial reporting to a 13 period
fiscal year, comprised of 13 four-week periods (each period containing four
Monday through Sunday weeks). As such, our 1997 fiscal year was the period from
January 1, 1997 through December 28, 1997, our 1998 fiscal year was the period
from December 29, 1997 through December 27, 1998 and our 1999 fiscal year was

(1) Our net loss for the year ended December 27, 1998, includes the
    extraordinary loss associated with the write off of approximately $334 of
    unamortized deferred financing costs related to two of our prior credit
    facilities.

(2) Our net loss for the year ended December 26, 1999 includes the extraordinary
    loss associated with the write off of approximately $782 of unamortized
    deferred financing costs related to the replacement of our former bank
    credit facility.

(3) We have recognized the fair value of the 7,295 shares of common stock issued
    pursuant to the re-pricing of the series C convertible preferred stock as a
    return to the series C preferred stockholders. Accordingly, this amount has
    been deducted from our net loss in determining the net loss available to
    common stockholders for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings
    per share. See also Note 9 of our Financial Statements.

(4) EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation
    and amortization. EBITDA is presented because we believe it is a widely
    accepted financial indicator of an entity's ability to incur and service
    debt. While EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow from operations as
    defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and should not
    be considered as an indicator of operating performance or an alternative to
    cash flow (as measured by GAAP) as a measure of liquidity, it is included
    herein to provide additional information with respect to our ability to meet
    our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital
    requirements.

(5) EBITDA for the fiscal years ended December 26, 1999, December 27, 1998 and
    December 28, 1997, excludes the losses on impairment and disposal of
    long-lived assets of $2,187, $23 and $480, respectively.

(6) Store EBITDA is EBITDA before allocation of any selling, general and
    administrative expenses. While Store EBITDA is not intended to represent
    operating income or loss as defined by GAAP (as GAAP operating income or
    loss includes such allocation of selling, general and administrative
    expenses) and should not be considered as an indicator of operating
    performance as measured by GAAP, it is included herein to provide additional
    information with respect to store-level cash operating margins.

(7) Capital expenditures includes the purchase of laundromat equipment pursuant
    to a supply agreement and financed with borrowings in connection with our
    former senior credit facilities of approximately $164, $2,455 and $31,358 in
    fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The capital expenditures for 1997
    include approximately $11,485 of laundromat equipment for use in stores
    opened in 1998. The capital expenditures for 1998 and 1997 include
    approximately $872 and $4,120 for land acquired and held for sale-leaseback
    transactions, $1,919 of which is shown under the heading "Land held for
    sale-leaseback" on our balance sheet at December 26, 1999. Capital
    expenditures also include the cash outlay to acquire new businesses (net of
    cash acquired). Such outlays totaled approximately $26,880 and $12,064 for
    the years ended December 27, 1998 and December 28, 1997, respectively.

(8) Concurrently with the closing of the sale of our senior discount notes, the
    put rights previously associated with our series A and series B convertible
    preferred stock were terminated, and therefore, those shares were no longer
    mandatorily redeemable.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

   SpinCycle is a specialty retailing company engaged in the coin-operated
laundry business. Our company was founded in October 1995 to develop and
implement SpinCycle's unique concept of a national chain of branded
coin-operated laundromats and to serve as a platform for a nationwide
consolidation in the coin-operated laundromat industry. Our company was formed
with the goal of becoming the leading operator of high quality coin-operated
laundromats in the United States by establishing SpinCycle as a national brand,
providing a superior level of customer service and by exercising disciplined
management control in our expansion and business plan.

   Fiscal 1999 was a very exciting year for us, as we achieved several financial
milestones. We realized positive EBITDA in all 1999 periods. We experienced
approximately 7.7% same store sales growth for our mature (both acquired and
developed) stores. Our average store EBITDA has increased from approximately
$36,000 for fiscal 1998 to approximately $75,000 for fiscal 1999. In addition to
achieving many financial goals, we were also able to replace our former bank
credit facility with other credit facilities which better fit our capital needs
and provides for additional borrowing capacity at reduced cost (see "-Liquidity
and Capital Resources" below).

   To date, our primary use of capital has been for the development and
acquisition of laundromats and for general corporate purposes. Our store count
has grown rapidly since our first store was opened in April 1996, and at year
end 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 we had 14, 71, 163 and 172 stores, respectively.
We are also party to four leases for property that we do not intend to develop
as stores by year-end 2000. We have not made any further commitments for
acquisitions or new store developments. We closed three stores during 1999, all
of which were part of multi-store acquisitions from prior years.

   Our rapid development and acquisition of laundromats has required significant
capital resources. To date, we have not been profitable and have generated net
operating losses and negative cash flow from operations. As such, our expansion
has been facilitated through private equity investments, proceeds from the
issuance of our senior discount notes, borrowings from our credit facilities and
revenue generated from our stores. Until such time as we can access the public
equity markets with a favorable valuation, or access other sources of expansion
capital, we have elected to proceed cautiously with our expansion, slowing our
development or acquisition to judiciously utilize available sources of growth
capital.

   We continue to maintain a significant backlog of potential development sites,
but do not expect to sign any additional commitments to develop stores prior to
procuring additional growth capital or generating sufficient cash flow from
operations. This lack of significant growth capital prompted a significant
decrease in our growth rate, and in February 1999 and again in April 1999 we
implemented a reduction in force. These reductions in force were primarily
focused on our growth-related and administrative personnel, including regional
directors of development and acquisitions and corporate and field level
construction managers.

   During 1999, our quarter to quarter performance increased significantly
compared to prior years, primarily due to our maturing store base. Our first,
second and third quarters consisted of three periods (12 weeks) in 1998, while
the fourth quarter contained four periods (16 weeks). Beginning in 1999, our
first, second and fourth quarters contain three periods, and our third quarter
contains four periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Year Ended December 26, 1999 Compared to Year Ended December 27, 1998:

   Revenues. Our revenues were approximately $52.2 million for 1999, an increase
of approximately $21.3 million from approximately $30.9 million in 1998. Our
growth in revenue was primarily attributable to the continued maturation of our
developed and acquired stores and a net increase of nine stores since the end of
1998.

   Store Operating Expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization. Our store
operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization ("store operating
expenses") were approximately $39.1 million in 1999, an increase of
approximately $14.6 million from approximately $24.5 million in 1998. The
increase in store operating expenses was primarily attributable to the 93
stores that we added during 1998 being operational for all of 1999 and a net
increase of nine stores in 1999. Our store operating expenses as a percentage
of revenues decreased from 79% in 1998 to approximately 75% in 1999. This
decrease is a result of the maturation of certain developed stores and our
slowed growth in 1999 which has enabled us to further concentrate our efforts
toward operating efficiencies.

   Gross Operating Profit. Our gross operating profit was approximately $13.1
million in 1999, an increase of approximately $6.7 million from approximately
$6.4 million in 1998. This increase was primarily attributable to our
aforementioned increase in revenues during the period and our focus on improving
operating efficiencies.

   Pre-opening Costs. Our pre-opening costs were approximately $117,000 in 1999,
a decrease of approximately $575,000 from approximately $692,000 in 1998. We
expense our pre-opening costs as incurred. This decrease was the result of our
slowed growth during 1999.

   Store EBITDA. Our Store EBITDA was approximately $13.0 million in 1999, an
increase of approximately $7.3 million from store EBITDA of $5.7 million in
1998. This increase was primarily attributable to a net increase of nine stores
during 1999,  a full year's operating results from the 93 stores that were
opened during 1998,  increased revenue from the operations and maturation of
both new and existing stores and increased control of store operating expenses.

   Depreciation and Amortization. Our depreciation and amortization expense was
approximately $14.3 million in 1999, an increase of approximately $4.7 million
from approximately $9.6 million in 1998. This increase was principally due to
our purchases of property and equipment in connection with our 1998 and 1999
expansion.

   Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and
administrative expenses were approximately $10.4 million in 1999, a decrease of
approximately $1.0 million from approximately $11.4 million in 1998. The
decrease was primarily attributable to two reductions in force that were
initiated in February and April of 1999 in which 28 general and administrative
employees were released from their employment. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue to 20% in 1999 from
37% in 1998. This decrease was due to increased revenue generated from a larger
base of mature and maturing stores opened in 1998 and 1999 and the initiation of
the two reductions in force during 1999.

   Losses on impairment and disposal of long-lived assets. Losses on impairment
and disposal of long-lived assets totalled approximately $2.2 million for 1999
and included losses on store closures of approximately $1.0 million, impairment
of underperforming stores of $585,000, a loss on sale-leaseback transaction of
$390,000 and other losses on asset dispositions in the normal course of
business of $199,000. (See notes 2 and 3 to our financial statements for
further details.) These transactions included writedowns of leasehold
improvements and goodwill associated with the closed and impaired stores. The
balance sheet at December 26, 1999 includes accrued lease obligations
aggregating $528,000 relating to the closed stores.

   Interest Income and Interest Expense, net. Our interest income was
approximately $128,000 in 1999, a decrease of approximately $1.2 million from
approximately $1.3 million in 1998. The decrease in interest income was
primarily attributable to a lower average cash balance during 1999 as compared
to 1998 when we had the proceeds of our senior discount notes on hand. Interest
expense, net of capitalized interest was approximately $15.8 million in 1999, an
increase of approximately $5.4 million from approximately $10.4 million in 1998.
Our increase in interest expense, net was primarily attributable to the
accretion of interest expense related to our senior discount notes outstanding
since April 1998 and interest expense for borrowings on our bank credit
facility. Our outstanding borrowings under the LaSalle facility were
approximately $7.5 million at the end of fiscal year 1999. Our outstanding
borrowings under the Alliance facility were $3.0 million at the end of fiscal
1999.




                                       9
<PAGE>   10

   Net Loss before Extraordinary Loss. The net loss before extraordinary loss
recorded in 1999 was $29.7 million, an increase of approximately $5.4 million
from the $24.3 million net loss recorded in 1998. Our increased loss was
primarily attributable to depreciation and amortization associated with the
number of new stores both acquired and developed since the end of 1997, the
increase in interest expense discussed above and the increase in losses on
impairment and disposal of long-lived assets of approximately $2.2 million.

   Extraordinary Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt. The extraordinary loss
relates to the write-off of the unamortized balance of debt issuance costs that
were paid in connection with our former bank credit facility. (See note 15 to
our financial statements.) These costs were written off as a result of the
replacement of this facility with the LaSalle Bank National Association
and Alliance Laundry Systems LLC facilities.


Year Ended December 27, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 28, 1997:


   Revenues. Our revenues were approximately $30.9 million for 1998, an increase
of approximately $22.2 million from approximately $8.7 million in 1997. Our
growth in revenue was primarily attributable to the addition of 93 stores since
the end of 1997 and the maturation of our developed stores, which were opened in
1996.

   Store Operating Expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization. Our store
operating expenses were approximately $24.5 million in 1998, an increase of
approximately $16.5 million from approximately $8.0 million in 1997. The
increase in store operating expenses was primarily attributable to our addition
of 93 stores during 1998. Our store operating expenses as a percentage of
revenues decreased from 92% in 1997 to approximately 79% in 1998. This is a
result of the maturation of certain developed stores, our acquisition of
additional stores and the implementation of initiatives designed to reduce store
operating expenses, particularly labor expense. Our implementation of these
initiatives began in the first quarter of 1998.

   Gross Operating Profit. Our gross operating profit was approximately $6.4
million in 1998, an increase of approximately $5.7 million from approximately
$670,000 in 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to our aforementioned
increase in revenues during the period and our initiatives to reduce store
operating expenses, particularly labor expenses.

   Pre-opening Costs. Our pre-opening costs were approximately $692,000 in 1998,
an increase of approximately $235,000 from approximately $457,000 in 1997. We
expense our pre-opening costs as incurred. This increase was the result of our
acquisition and development of 93 additional stores which opened during 1998.

   Store EBITDA. Our Store EBITDA was approximately $5.7 million in 1998, an
increase of approximately $5.5 million from store EBITDA of $213,000 in 1997.
This increase was primarily attributable to the addition of 93 developed or
acquired stores during 1998, increased revenue from the operations and
maturation of both new and existing stores and increased control of store
expenses.

   Depreciation and Amortization. Our depreciation and amortization expense was
approximately $9.6 million in 1998, an increase of approximately $7.3 million
from approximately $2.3 million in 1997. This increase was principally due to
our purchases of property and equipment in connection with our expansion.

   Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and
administrative expenses were approximately $11.4 million in 1998, an increase of
approximately $700,000 from approximately $10.7 million in 1997. The increase
was primarily attributable to the increase in our corporate infrastructure in
the later half of 1997 in order to allow us to manage our anticipated nationwide
expansion. Specifically, during the last half of 1997, we hired additional
professionals to provide for nationwide operations and real estate development
and to establish a dedicated acquisitions department. However, selling, general
and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenue to 37% in 1998
from 123% in 1997. This decrease was due to increased revenue generated from a
larger base of mature and maturing stores opened in 1997 and 1998, the
acquisition of additional stores and the implementation of our initiatives to
reduce these costs.



                                       10
<PAGE>   11

   Interest Income and Interest Expense, net. Our interest income increased to
approximately $1.3 million in 1998, an increase of approximately $867,000 from
approximately $433,000 in 1997. The increase in interest income was primarily
attributable to our investment of the $96.8 million of net proceeds from our
April 1998 private offering of approximately $145.0 million aggregate principal
amount of 12.75% senior discount notes and warrants to purchase common stock
which were ultimately used for capital investment and to fund operations.
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest was approximately $10.4 million in
1998, an increase of approximately $9.5 million from approximately $892,000 in
1997. Our increase in interest expense, net was primarily attributable to
accretion of the original issue discount related to the offering.

   Net Loss before Extraordinary Loss. The net loss before extraordinary loss
recorded in 1998 was $24.3 million, an increase of approximately $10.5 million
from the approximately $13.8 million net loss recorded in 1997. Our increased
loss was primarily attributable to depreciation and amortization associated with
the number of new stores both acquired and developed since the end of 1997 and
the increases in selling, general and administrative expenses and interest
expense discussed above.

   Extraordinary Loss from Early Extinguishment of Debt. The extraordinary loss
relates to the write-off of the unamortized balance of debt issue costs that
were paid in connection with our former facilities and, to a lesser extent, the
equipment and acquisition credit facilities (See note 15 to the Financial
Statements.) These costs were written off as a result of the early repayment and
termination of these credit facilities with the proceeds of the offering.

   Re-pricing of Series C Preferred Stock. On April 14, 1998, we issued 7,295
shares of our common stock to series C stockholders in connection with the
re-pricing of the series C convertible preferred stock offering, originally
priced at $220 per share. Pursuant to a stockholder consent dated March 18, 1998
and obtained as of April 14, 1998, the series C offering was converted to a unit
offering, whereby each series C unit offered was comprised of ten shares of
series C preferred stock and one share of common stock for $2,200 per unit. In
accordance with existing authoritative guidance, the additional fair value of
the consideration transferred to series C stockholders of $1,459,000 (i.e., the
7,295 shares of common stock issued in connection with the conversion of the
original offering to a unit offering multiplied by $200 per share) has been
treated as a return to series C stockholders. Accordingly, $1,459,000 has been
deducted from our net loss for the year-to-date period ended December 27, 1998
in determining the net loss applicable to common shareholders for the
calculation of earnings per share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Our net cash used in operating
activities was approximately $618,000 in 1999, a decrease of approximately $3.3
million compared to our net cash used in operating activities of approximately
$3.9 million in 1998. This decrease was due primarily to an increase of
approximately $6.7 million in gross operating profit generated during 1999 from
our mature and maturing stores partially offset by a decrease in our accounts
payable of approximately $4.1 million at fiscal year end 1999 as compared to
fiscal year end 1998.

   Net Cash Used in Investing Activities. Our net cash used in investing
activities was approximately $9.1 million in 1999, a decrease of approximately
$49.8 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of approximately
$58.9 million in 1998. The decrease was due to our slow down of expansion
activities during 1999. In 1999 we opened 12 stores as compared to 93 stores
opened in 1998.

   Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing
activities was approximately $9.6 million in 1999, a decrease of approximately
$49.2 million from net cash provided by financing activities of approximately
$58.8 million in 1998. We borrowed funds primarily to pay for our capital
expenditures related to our 1999 store rollout plan. The funds were obtained
primarily from our Heller facility which was subsequently replaced by our
LaSalle and Alliance facilities. In the comparable 1998 period,  the proceeds
from our senior discount notes were the source of our borrowings.

   We generated approximately $2.5 million of positive EBITDA during fiscal
1999. During 2000, we expect to be able to meet our current obligations with
cash flows from our store operations. On November 17, 1999 we entered into a
$12.0 million  secured revolving credit facility with LaSalle Bank National
Association to replace our facility with Heller Financial, Inc. Availability
under the Heller facility was based upon a borrowing base formula determined by
income from store operations and net book value of laundry equipment. At the
closing of the LaSalle facility, we repaid the $9.3 million outstanding on the
Heller facility, which was the maximum we could have borrowed on the facility at
the time as a result of the financial covenants contained in the Heller
facility, and had no additional borrowing capacity on the $40.0 million Heller
facility.

   The LaSalle facility has less restrictive financial covenants than the Heller
facility. The financial covenants include minimum tangible net worth, a senior
interest coverage ratio and a minimum net book value of laundry equipment
covenant. The LaSalle facility will mature on September 30, 2001, and requires
monthly payment of interest only until that date. All principal and interest
accrued but unpaid at maturity are payable on the maturity date. As of March 27,
2000, we have made all monthly interest payments due on the LaSalle facility on
a timely basis.

    Obligations under the LaSalle facility  bears interest with reference to
either the "Reference Rate" or the "LIBOR Rate" as we determine at the time we
incur each obligation. "Reference Rate Loans" shall bear interest at the rate of
prime (as set by LaSalle from time to time) plus 1.0%. "LIBOR Rate Loans" shall
bear interest at the rate of 3.0% plus the interest rate per annum equal to the
quotient obtained by dividing (x) the rate of interest determined by LaSalle to
be the average of the rate per annum at which deposits in U.S. dollars are
generally offered to LaSalle in the London Interbank Market at 11:00 A.M. London
time, two business days before the first day of such interest period, for a
period equal to such interest period and in the amount of the applicable "LIBOR
Rate Loan" by (y) the difference between 100% and any applicable reserve
requirements (rounded upward to the nearest whole multiple of 1/100 of one
percent per annum), including without limitation, any statutory maximum
requirement for LaSalle to hold reserves for "Eurocurrency Liabilities" under
Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the of the Federal Reserve System (or
any similar reserves under any successor regulation or regulations).

   Simultaneous with the closing of the LaSalle facility, we entered into a
revolving credit facility with Alliance Laundry Systems LLC in the maximum
principal amount of $3.0 million. Alliance is our main laundry equipment
supplier. The Alliance facility requires monthly payments of interest only,
until and including the first business day of September, 2001. Thereafter,
the facility requires 59 monthly payments comprised of $50,000 of principal plus
the accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance and a sixtieth payment of
accrued interest only. Obligations under the Alliance facility shall bear
interest at the rate of prime (as set by LaSalle from time to time) plus 1.0%.
The financial covenants under the Alliance facility include minimum tangible net
worth, a senior interest coverage ratio and a minimum net book value of laundry
equipment. As of March 27, 2000, we have made all monthly interest payments due
on the Alliance facility on a timely basis.

   In connection with these loans, LaSalle and Alliance entered into an
intercreditor agreement pursuant to which they agreed to allocate between them
first priority security interest upon (I) all of our now owned and hereafter
acquired real and personal property and all proceeds thereof and (II) all
general intangibles and other intangible assets (including, without limitation,
trademarks and trade names) of ours, if any, and the proceeds thereof such that
Alliance has first priority with respect to those assets at and in connection
with 15 of our stores and LaSalle has a first priority security interest in the
balance of our assets.

   We used the $3.0 million of proceeds from the Alliance facility to pay down
the LaSalle line to approximately $7.1 million and to finance amounts we owed to
Alliance. Additionally, we drew approximately $350,000 to cover accrued interest
on the Heller line and costs associated with the closing of the LaSalle and
Alliance facilities. The principal balance on the LaSalle facility on December
26, 1999 was approximately $7.5 million. We currently have $4.5 million of
borrowing availability under the LaSalle facility. LaSalle has reserved the
right to reduce our availability under the facility in an amount not to exceed
$1.0 million if we have not obtained appropriate consents from the landlords of
all of our stores on or before December 26, 1999. Obtaining these consents was a
closing condition which LaSalle waived at closing. As of December 26, 1999 we
had obtained approximately 95% of the required consents. LaSalle has not
notified us that our ability has been limited by $1.0 million. During the fourth
quarter of 1999, we were required to write off deferred financing charges which
had been capitalized in connection with the Heller facility.

   The LaSalle and Alliance facilities specify customary events of default
including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of covenants,
inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults to other
agreements, bankruptcy and insolvency events and material judgements and
liabilities.

   We believe that our cash flow from operations and availability under our
credit facility will provide us with sufficient capital resources through fiscal
2000. Significant variances in budgeted store revenue or Store EBITDA or
unforeseen capital requirements could result in insufficient capital resources.

   Beginning on November 1, 2001, we will be required to make semi-annual cash
payments of approximately $9.24 million on our senior discount notes.
Additionally, on September 30, 2001, we will be required to repay the principal
balance owing on the LaSalle facility. These payments, which are substantially
in excess of any historic net cash flow we have generated, will be in addition
to our selling, general and administrative expense and any other interest or
other expenses we may have at that time. Absent our ability to obtain additional
sources of funding or to significantly modify these required debt service
obligations, it is unlikely that we will be able to make these required cash
payments when due.

POTENTIAL LOSS OF NET OPERATING LOSSES

   As of December 26, 1999, we had net operating losses ("NOLs") of
approximately $44.2 million for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These NOLs, if
not utilized to offset taxable income in future periods, will begin to expire in
2011. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
regulations promulgated thereunder, impose limitations on the ability of
corporations to use NOLs if the corporation experiences a more than 50% change
in ownership during any three year period. It is probable that we have
experienced one or more ownership changes in 1996, 1997 and 1998 as a result of
raising various rounds of private equity or that such an ownership change may
have occurred or be deemed to have occurred due to events beyond our control
(such as transfers of common stock by certain stockholders or the exercise or
treatment of our issued and outstanding warrants, conversion rights or stock
options). Further, there can be no assurance that we will not take additional
actions, such as the issuance of additional stock, that would cause an ownership
change to occur. In addition, the NOLs are subject to examination by the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), and are thus subject to adjustment or
disallowance resulting from any such IRS examination.

YEAR 2000

   We began preparation for the Year 2000 date transition in 1999. In connection
with this effort, we completed an inventory of all mission critical systems with
Year 2000 implications, assessed the readiness of those systems and replaced,
retired or upgraded those systems that were not Year 2000 ready. The discovery
phase of our program was complete in 1999 and all desktop systems, application
software, and servers were updated to a compliant level. We also completed the
remediation and testing phase for all embedded computer chip systems. In 1999,
we requested letters of compliance from each of our vendors and installed
upgrades and patches to systems that were not compliant.

   During the Year 2000 date transition, we did not experience any failure of
mission critical systems nor have we experienced any significant problem with
regard to third party suppliers. We do not anticipate any material adverse
effect to our business in the future as a result of Year 2000 related problems.
Total costs associated with our Year 2000 project were funded with operating
cash flow and approximated $50,000.


SEASONALITY

   Coin-operated laundromat industry data, as well as data generated from our
mature stores, indicates that the coin operated laundry business experiences
seasonal variations in operating performance during the later spring and summer
seasons. We believe this seasonality is a result of the reduced volume of
heavier clothing worn during the spring and summer months, which results in
lower laundry machine usage. We observed the effect of such seasonality in the
90 stores that were mature for the entire 1999 fiscal year. During the 1999
fiscal year, revenues in these stores decreased approximately 8.8%, from a peak
during the third period to a low in the eighth period. These 90 stores
experienced a significant increase in revenues in the final quarter of the year,
completing the seasonal cycle. As we now have a significant base of data
regarding seasonality, we have adjusted our 2000 budgets to account for the
seasonal patterns experienced in 1999.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

   Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our
confidence in our prospects, strategies and expectations about expansion into
new markets, growth in existing markets, comparable store sales and ability to
attract new sources of financing, are forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, (1) our historical and anticipated losses and negative cash flow;
(2) debt service requirements, restrictions and covenants related to our
substantially leveraged financial position; (3) considerable competition from
local and regional operators in all of our markets; (4) our ability to hire,
train, retain and assimilate competent management and store-level employees; (5)
our ability to identify new markets in which to successfully compete; (6) our
ability to locate suitable sites for building or acquisition; (7) our ability to
negotiate acceptable lease terms; (7) our ability to adopt purchasing systems
and MIS to accommodate expanded operations; (8) our dependence on timely
fulfillment by landlords and others of their contractual obligations; and (9)
our maintenance of construction schedules and the speed with which local zoning
and construction permits can be obtained. No assurance can be given that new
stores will achieve sales and profitability comparable to the existing stores or
to our strategic plan. There can be no assurance that an adequate revenue base
will be established or that we will generate positive cash flow from operations.
Any investor or potential investor in SpinCycle must consider these risks and
others that are detailed in this report.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA



                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of SpinCycle, Inc.:

   In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheets and the related statements of
operations, of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and shareholders' equity
(deficit) and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of SpinCycle, Inc. at December 26, 1999 and December 27,
1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three years
in the period ended December 26, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. 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 of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States, which 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, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION

     SpinCycle, Inc. ("SpinCycle" or the "Company") is a specialty retailing
   company engaged in the coin-operated laundry business. The Company currently
   operates 172 stores in 25 markets throughout the United States. The Company
   was incorporated under the laws of the state of Minnesota on October 10, 1995
   and subsequently reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. The
   Company was in the developmental stage from October 10, 1995 (inception) to
   June 30, 1996.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The financial statements include all accounts of SpinCycle. On October 1,
   1997, the Company dissolved its wholly - owned subsidiary, Pinnacle
   Financial, Inc., a commercial equipment leasing company. This dissolution had
   no effect on the Company's financial statements.

   FISCAL YEAR CHANGE
     As of December 1, 1997, the Company changed its fiscal year previously
   ended December 31 to a thirteen period fiscal year, comprised of thirteen
   four week periods ending on the last Sunday in December. This change in
   fiscal year-end had an immaterial effect on the Company's 1997 results of
   operations and financial condition.

   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
   three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The carrying
   value of cash equivalents approximates fair value. At December 26, 1999,
   $181,317 of time deposits were pledged as collateral on outstanding letters
   of credit related to agreements in place with suppliers and as collateral for
   the Company's corporate office lease agreement.

   CONCENTRATION OF RISK
     The Company places its cash with high quality credit institutions. At
   times, cash balances may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The
   Company has not experienced any losses on its cash balances.

   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 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 revenue and expenses during the
   reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


   LANDLORD ALLOWANCES AND DEFERRED RENT
     Landlord allowances represent incentives received by the Company on certain
   of its store leases. Deferred rent represents the related unearned incentive
   recorded at lease inception and is amortized as a reduction to rent

                                       20
<PAGE>   21

   expense over the term of the related leases.

   INVENTORY
     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
   on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

   PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
     Property and equipment are stated at cost. Capitalized amounts include
   expenditures which materially extend the useful lives of existing facilities
   and equipment. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which do not
   materially extend the useful lives of the related assets, are charged to
   expense as incurred. During construction, the Company capitalizes interest
   monthly by applying the effective interest rate on certain borrowings to the
   average balance of expenditures. Interest capitalized during the years 1999,
   1998 and 1997 was $163,332, $351,787 and $327,727, respectively.

     During fiscal 1999 the Company closed three stores and recognized a loss of
   $1,003,653 including the writedown of leasehold improvements and the accrual
   of lease obligations remaining for these stores through the conclusion of
   their lease terms. This loss has been included in the caption "Loss on
   impairment and disposal of long-lived assets" in the accompanying income
   statements. At December 26, 1999 the Company has also included $99,693 in
   accrued expenses and $428,520 in other noncurrent liabilities representing
   the obligations remaining under the related leases.

   DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
     Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the following
   useful lives:

                                                       Years
     Laundry equipment                                7 to 15
     Leasehold improvements           Shorter of economic life or lease term.
     Computer and office equipment                       5
     Store equipment (other than laundry equipment)      5

   GOODWILL AND IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
     Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the net tangible and
   identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill is stated at
   cost and is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. Pursuant to
   SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
   Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," the Company evaluates the
   recoverability of goodwill and its other long-lived assets whenever a
   significant change in the business environment indicates that expected future
   net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) would become less than the
   carrying amount of the asset. Accumulated amortization of goodwill amounted
   to $1,591,100 at December 26, 1999 and $642,576 at December 27, 1998.

     During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 the Company updated its evaluation
   of the recoverability of goodwill and other long-lived assets associated with
   certain underperforming stores that continue in operation. Based on this
   analysis, the Company determined that the long-lived assets associated with
   two stores were substantially impaired and, as a result, recorded an
   impairment loss of $585,000. The impairment losses were determined based on
   estimated net realizable values and projections of net cash flows. This loss
   has been included in the caption "Losses on impairment and disposal of
   long-lived assets" in the accompanying income statement. This loss has been
   applied against goodwill and leasehold improvements associated with these
   stores.


   REVENUE RECOGNITION
     The Company recognizes revenue upon performance of services.


   STOCK COMPENSATION
     The Company measures compensation cost related to employee stock options
   using the intrinsic value

                                       21
<PAGE>   22

   method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
   Issued to Employees." The fair value based method of accounting is used for
   equity instruments issued to non employees for goods or services.

   INCOME TAXES
     The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method of
   accounting pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
   "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
   determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax
   bases of assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates.

     As a result of the current uncertainty as to the future realizability of
   the tax benefits associated with approximately $29.4 million of net operating
   losses incurred to date, no income tax benefit has been recorded in the
   financial statements.

   ADVERTISING COSTS
     The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The Company incurred
   $320,485, $1,026,193 and $1,574,839 in advertising costs for the fiscal years
   ended December 26, 1999, December 27, 1998 and December 28, 1997,
   respectively.

   PRE-OPENING COSTS
     The Company expenses pre-opening costs as incurred. The Company incurred
   $116,882, $691,890 and $456,920 in pre-opening costs during the years ended
   December 26, 1999, December 27, 1998 and December 28, 1997, respectively.

   EARNINGS PER SHARE
     Net loss per common share is computed using the provisions of Statement of
   Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which
   requires the presentation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") and diluted
   EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to holders of
   common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
   during each period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net loss by the
   weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period
   adjusted for dilutive stock options and warrants and dilutive common shares
   assumed to be issued on conversion of preferred stock to common stock.
   Diluted EPS has not been presented as the computation is anti-dilutive due to
   the Company's net loss in each period.

   LIQUIDITY
     During fiscal 1999, the Company experienced a net loss of $30,444,813 and
   at December 26, 1999 had an accumulated deficit of $75,682,855. The Company's
   history of losses has been largely due to the large general and
   administrative infrastructure it put in place to handle the rapid growth it
   has experienced, as well as depreciation and the accretion of interest on its
   senior discount notes. During fiscal 1999, the Company maintained positive
   EBITDA for all fiscal periods. Management believes that the availability of
   funds from the LaSalle credit facility (see Note 7) and operating revenues
   from its 172 units opened as of fiscal year end 1999, will enable the Company
   to maintain operations for the foreseeable future.

     Beginning on November 1, 2001, we will be required to make semi-annual cash
   payments of approximately $9.24 million on our senior discount notes.
   Additionally, on September 30, 2001, the company will be required to repay
   the principal balance owing on the LaSalle facility. The principal balance on
   the LaSalle facility on December 26, 1999 was approximately $7.5 million.
   These payments, which are substantially in excess of any historic net cash
   flow the Company has have generated, will be in addition to the Company's
   selling, general and administrative expense and any other interest or other
   expenses we may have at that time. Absent our ability to obtain additional
   sources of funding or to significantly modify these required debt service
   obligations, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to make these
   required cash payments when due.

3. SALE-LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS

     On December 31, 1997, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback transaction
   with newly formed SpinDevCo, L.L.C. (SpinDevCo), a subsidiary of
   McMahon-Oliphant, Inc. SpinDevCo, McMahon-Oliphant, Inc. and their affiliates
   have no relationship or connection with the Company or any of its affiliates
   other than the transaction described in this note. Eleven properties
   consisting of land of $2.4 million and improvements of $4.0 million thereon
   that were previously acquired by the Company were sold to SpinDevCo for
   approximately

                                       22
<PAGE>   23

   $6.4 million, then leased back under an operating lease with a 20 year term.
   The Company received approximately $1.5 million in cash and a note in the
   principal amount of approximately $4.9 million, which was originally due and
   payable on April 30, 1998. The note was secured by mortgages on the
   properties. The transaction also required the Company to contribute in cash
   approximately $2,450,000 to be applied towards additional tenant improvements
   for the properties. SpinDevCo requested, and on May 30, 1998 the Company
   granted, an extension (the "Extended Note") of the maturity date of the note
   through September 30, 1998 in return for the payment of $125,000 of accrued
   interest and additional interest payments through that date. The purpose of
   this extension was to allow SpinDevCo additional time to obtain the permanent
   financing with which to repay the Company's note. On October 15, 1998, the
   Company received approximately $4.9 million in cash from SpinDevCo in
   repayment of outstanding principal and interest on the Extended Note.
   Simultaneously, the Company purchased three sites from SpinDevCo for
   approximately $1.75 million in cash, the same amount for which it had
   previously sold them to SpinDevCo. The Company is currently operating stores
   at these three sites.

     On June 17, 1999, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback transaction
   with MBI Leasing, Inc. One property consisting of land of $220,000 and
   improvements of $750,000 thereon that was previously acquired by the Company
   was sold to MBI Leasing, Inc. for approximately $535,000, then leased back
   under an operating lease with a 20 year term. The Company received cash for
   this transaction. The transaction qualifies for sale-leaseback accounting in
   accordance with SFAS No. 98 "Accounting for Leases - Sale-Leaseback
   Transactions Involving Real Estate". The Company recognized a loss on the
   sale of approximately $390,000.

     Land held for sale-leaseback of $1,919,209 at December 26, 1999 is stated
   at cost which approximates estimated net realizable value.

4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Property and equipment consists of the following:

</TABLE>



     Effective June 15, 1998, the Company revised its estimate of the useful
   lives of its laundry equipment. Laundry equipment was previously depreciated
   over ten years and those lives have now been changed to periods that range
   from seven up to 15 years. The useful life changes for laundry equipment were
   made to better reflect the estimated periods during which these assets will
   remain in service. The revised lives have were for previously recorded assets
   and newly acquired assets. The effect of the change was a reduction to
   depreciation expense and a corresponding decrease to the net loss applicable
   to holders of common stock for the year ended December 27, 1998 of
   approximately $538,823, or $18.80 per share.


     Depreciation expense was $13,361,828, $8,917,958 and $2,310,647 for the
   years ended December 26, 1999, December 27, 1998 and December 28, 1997,
   respectively.

5.   ACQUISITIONS

       During the year ended December 27, 1998, the Company acquired 40 existing
     coin laundry businesses for a total cash outlay of $26,880,283, net of cash
     acquired. These acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method
     of accounting. In connection with these acquisitions, the Company recorded
     goodwill of $7,710,115 and did not assume any material liabilities of the
     sellers other than, in certain cases, assuming the leases of the related
     real property. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15
     years.

       During the year ended December 28, 1997, the Company acquired 27 existing
     coin laundry businesses for a total cash outlay of $12,063,521, net of cash
     acquired. These acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method
     of accounting. In connection with these acquisitions, the Company recorded
     goodwill of $6,180,839 and did not assume any material liabilities of the
     sellers other than, in certain cases, assuming the leases of the related
     real property. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15
     years.

       The following unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of
     results of operations of the Company and the acquired coin laundry
     businesses as if the acquisitions had occurred January 1, 1997.

       These unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for comparative
     purposes only and include certain adjustments, such as additional
     depreciation expense as a result of a step-up in the basis of fixed assets,
     additional amortization expense as a result of goodwill and other
     intangible assets, and an increased interest expense on acquisition debt.
     They do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which
     actually would have resulted had the combinations been in effect on January
     1, 1997 or of future results of operations of the entities.

6.   OTHER ASSETS

       In connection with the issuance of the senior discount notes ("Notes"),
     as discussed in Note 7, the Company paid approximately $4,600,000 of debt
     issue costs, which are being amortized over the term of the Notes. In
     connection with the LaSalle and Alliance credit facilities, as discussed in
     Note 7, the Company paid approximately $270,000 of debt issue costs which
     are being amortized over the terms of these facilities. The unamortized
     balance of these debt issue costs is included as a component of other
     assets on the Company's balance sheet at December 26, 1999.

       On April 29, 1998, the Company completed the offering of $144,990,000
     aggregate principal amount at maturity of 12.75% unsecured senior discount
     notes (the "Notes") and warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase 26,661 shares
     of the Company's common stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share for
     gross proceeds to the Company of $100,001,053 (the "Offering"). The net
     proceeds from the Offering of approximately $96.8 million, net of
     underwriting expenses, were used principally to pay certain other expenses
     of the Offering, repay approximately $46.9 million in existing
     indebtedness, to provide funds for investment in new stores and for general
     corporate purposes. The Notes will mature on May 1, 2005. No cash interest
     will accrue on the Notes prior to May 1, 2001. The Notes will begin to
     accrue cash interest at a rate of 12.75% per annum commencing May 1, 2001,
     and cash interest will be payable thereafter on November 1 and May 1 of
     each year, commencing November 1, 2001. The Notes will be redeemable at the
     option of the Company, in whole or in part, on or after May 1, 2002, at the
     following redemption prices if redeemed during the 12-month period
     commencing on May 1 of the years set forth below:

                2004 and thereafter............          100.000%
</TABLE>


       In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to May 1, 2001, the
     Company may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the Accreted Value of the
     Notes with the proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings following
     which there is a Public Market, at a redemption price of 112.75% of the
     Accreted Value to the date of redemption; provided, however, that at least
     $94.2 million of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at maturity
     remain outstanding after any such redemption. Upon a Change of Control,
     each holder of the Notes (a "Holder") will have the right to require the
     Company to purchase all or any part of such Holder's Notes at a purchase
     price equal to 101% of the Accreted Value thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
     interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

       The Notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company ranking pari
     passu in right of payment of principal and interest with all other existing
     and future senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank senior
     to all future subordinated debt of the Company. The Notes will be
     effectively subordinated to all

                                       25
<PAGE>   26
Secured Indebtedness of the Company, if any, to the extent of the value of the
assets securing such indebtedness and to all indebtedness and other obligations
(including trade payables) of the Company's future subsidiaries, if any. The
Warrants will be exercisable at any time on or after the earlier of April 29,
1999 or 60 days after the consummation of an initial public offering of the
Company's common stock, and will expire on May 1, 2005.

     Prior to the Offering, the Company had in place a $45.0 million credit
facility from Raytheon Commercial Laundry, LLC ("Raytheon"), one of the largest
commercial laundry equipment vendors, which had most recently provided the
Company with approximately $30.0 million of equipment financing and $15.0
million of acquisition financing. This facility provided 100% financing for
commercial laundry equipment purchases (based upon list prices) and store
acquisitions. The Company procured a bank credit facility with LaSalle National
Bank ("LaSalle") in March 1998, which provided the Company with $15.0 million
for acquisitions and general corporate purposes. On April 29, 1998, the Company
repaid all indebtedness outstanding under these two facilities with the net
proceeds from the Offering and terminated the related loan agreements (see Note
15.)

     On April 29, 1998, the Company also closed a secured revolving credit
facility in the maximum principal amount of $40.0 million with Heller Financial,
Inc. (the "Heller Facility").

     On November 17, 1999 the Company entered into a $12.0 million secured
revolving credit facility with LaSalle Bank National Association to replace its
secured revolving credit facility from Heller Financial, Inc. Availability under
the Heller facility was based upon a borrowing base formula determined by income
from store operations and net book value of laundry equipment. At the time, the
Company had borrowed $9.3 million and had no additional borrowing capacity on
the $40.0 million Heller facility.

     The LaSalle facility has less restrictive financial covenants than the
Heller facility. The financial covenants include minimum tangible net worth, a
senior interest coverage ratio and a minimum net book value of laundry
equipment. The LaSalle facility will mature on September 30, 2001, and requires
monthly payment of interest only until that date. All principal and interest
accrued but unpaid at maturity are payable on the maturity date.

     Obligations under the LaSalle facility bears interest with reference
to either the "Reference Rate" or the "LIBOR Rate" as we determine at the time
we incur each obligation. "Reference Rate Loans" shall bear interest at the rate
of prime (as set by LaSalle from time to time) plus 1.0%. "LIBOR Rate Loans"
shall bear interest at the rate of 3.0% plus the interest rate per annum equal
to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the rate of interest determined by
LaSalle to be the average of the rate per annum at which deposits in U.S.
dollars are generally offered to LaSalle in the London Interbank Market at 11:00
A.M. London time, two business days before the first day of such interest
period, for a period equal to such interest period and in the amount of the
applicable "LIBOR Rate Loan" by (y) the difference between 100% and any
applicable reserve requirements (rounded upward to the nearest whole multiple of
1/100 of one percent per annum), including without limitation, any statutory
maximum requirement for LaSalle to hold reserves for "Eurocurrency Liabilities"
under Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the of the Federal Reserve
System (or any similar reserves under any successor regulation or regulations).

     Simultaneous with the closing of the LaSalle facility, we entered into a
revolving credit facility with Alliance Laundry Systems LLC in the maximum
principal amount of $3.0 million. Alliance is our main laundry equipment
supplier. The Alliance facility requires monthly payments of interest only,
until and including the first business day of September 2001. Thereafter, the
facility requires 59 monthly payments comprised of $50,000 of principal plus
accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance and a sixtieth payment of
accrued interest only. Obligations under the Alliance facility shall bear
interest at the rate of prime (as set by LaSalle from time to time) plus 1.0%.
The financial covenants under the Alliance facility include minimum tangible net
worth, a senior interest coverage ratio and a minimum net book value of laundry
equipment.

         In connection with these loans, LaSalle and Alliance entered into an
    intercreditor agreement pursuant to which they agreed to allocate between
    them first priority security interest upon (I) all of the Company's now
    owned and hereafter acquired real and personal property and all proceeds
    thereof and (II) all of the Company's general intangibles and other
    intangible assets (including, without limitation, trademarks and trade
    names), if any, and the proceeds thereof such that Alliance has first
    priority with respect to those assets at and in connection with 15 of the
    Company's stores and LaSalle has a first priority security interest in the
    balance of the Company's assets. The Company used the $3.0 million of
    proceeds from the Alliance facility to pay down the LaSalle line to
    approximately $7.1 million and to finance amounts it owed to Alliance.
    Additionally, the Company drew approximately $350,000 to cover accrued
    interest on the Heller facility and costs associated with the closing of the
    LaSalle and Alliance facilities. The Company currently has $4.5 million of
    borrowing availability under the LaSalle facility. LaSalle has reserved the
    right to reduce the Company's availability under the facility in an amount
    not to exceed $1.0 million if the Company has not obtained appropriate
    consents from the landlords of all of its leased stores on or before
    December 26, 1999. Obtaining these consents was a closing condition which
    LaSalle waived at closing. As of December 26, 1999 the Company had obtained
    approximately 95% of the required consents. LaSalle has not notified the
    Company that its ability has been limited by $1.0 million. During the fourth
    quarter of 1999, the Company was required to write off deferred financing
    charges which had been capitalized in connection with the Heller facility.

        The LaSalle and Alliance facilities specify customary events of default
    including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, violation of
    covenants, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross defaults to
    other agreements, bankruptcy and insolvency events and material judgements
    and liabilities.


        On September 18, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with
    PeopleSoft USA, Inc. ("PeopleSoft") for the purchase of a new accounting
    software system and the related hardware, installation and training fees.
    The transaction was financed through several installments of a note payable
    to Newcourt Financial USA, Inc. The Company began utilizing the software for
    substantially all of its accounting processes at the beginning of its fiscal
    1999 second quarter. PeopleSoft has verified to the Company that its
    products are Year 2000 compliant. As of December 26, 1999, the Company owed
    $449,884 on this note. The note bears interest at a rate of 11% and is due
    in several installments, the last of which is due September 18, 2001. The
    note agreement contains no financial covenants.

8.  INCOME TAXES

        Deferred income tax assets (liabilities) consist of the following:

</TABLE>

       In assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets, the Company
     considers whether it is more likely than

                                       27
<PAGE>   28
    not that some or all of such assets will be realized. As a result of
    historical operating losses, the Company has fully reserved its net deferred
    tax assets as of December 26, 1999. The Company will consider release of the
    valuation allowance once profitable operations have been sustained.

        As of December 26, 1999, the Company had net operating loss
    carryforwards of approximately $44.2 million, which will begin to expire in
    2011. In the event of a change in ownership as defined by section 382 of the
    Internal Revenue Code, a significant limitation may be imposed on the
    availability of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards. It is
    probable that the Company has experienced one or more ownership changes in
    prior years as a result of the Company raising various rounds of private
    equity or that such an ownership change may have occurred or be deemed to
    have occurred.


9.   CAPITAL STOCK

        The Company has issued 76,974 shares of series A, 125,498 shares of
    series B, and 72,930 shares of series C convertible preferred stock
    (collectively, the Preferred Stock). Concurrently with the closing of its
    1998 senior discount note offering, the redemption rights of the holders
    of the "Preferred Stock" were terminated. The previous put rights could have
    required the Company to purchase all of the Preferred Stock at any time
    after June 1, 2001, at a redemption price equal to the greater of the
    purchase price of the shares plus accrued but unpaid dividends, if any, or,
    the appraised value of the shares.

        Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to one vote for each share
    held on all matters and do not have cumulative voting rights. Dividends on
    the preferred stock are payable only when declared by the Board of Directors
    and are not cumulative. Each share of the Preferred Stock is convertible
    into one share of common stock on a one-for-one basis and will be converted
    into common stock concurrently with a qualified public offering of the
    Company's common stock. The Company has reserved common shares equivalent to
    the outstanding preferred shares. The Preferred Stock has a liquidating
    preference over the common stock. In the event of liquidation, the holders
    of Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an amount equal to the price paid
    for the shares to the Company and participate on a pro rata basis with
    common stock shareholders for the remaining assets of the Company. In
    connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Company incurred
    approximately $1,043,000 of issuance costs.

        On April 14, 1998, 7,295 shares of the Company's common stock were
    issued to series C stockholders in connection with the re-pricing of the
    series C convertible preferred stock offering, originally priced at $220 per
    share. Pursuant to a stockholder consent dated March 18, 1998 and obtained
    as of April 14, 1998, the series C offering was converted to a unit
    offering, whereby each series C unit offered was comprised of ten shares of
    series C preferred stock and one share of common stock for $2,200 per unit.
    In accordance with existing authoritative guidance, the additional fair
    value of the consideration transferred to series C stockholders of
    $1,459,000 (i.e. the 7,295 shares of common stock issued in connection with
    the conversion of the original offering to a unit offering multiplied by
    $200 per share) has been treated as a return to series C stockholders.
    Accordingly, $1,459,000 has been deducted from the Company's net loss for
    the fiscal year ended December 27, 1998 in determining the net loss
    applicable to common shareholders for the calculation of earnings per share.

        On June 30, 1997, the Company effected a one-for-twenty-five reverse
    stock split of its preferred and common stock. Per share par value did not
    change as a result of this event. Accordingly, all references to shares
    issued and outstanding in the financial statements have been retroactively
    restated to give effect to the stock split.

10.  STOCK OPTIONS

        The SpinCycle, Inc. 1995 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the
    "Plan") provides for the issuance of employee stock options. Under the
    provisions of the Plan, the Compensation and Organization Committee (the


                                       28
<PAGE>   29
    "Committee"), which is appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company
    has the discretion to determine, among other things, the employees to whom
    options may be granted; the number of options to be granted; the vesting
    period assigned to the options; and such other terms and conditions,
    consistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee deems appropriate.
    Substantially all options currently outstanding at December 26, 1999 vest
    ratably over a five year period from the date granted. The Committee also
    has the discretion to determine whether options granted shall be Incentive
    Stock Options ("ISOs") within the meaning of section 411(a) of the Internal
    Revenue Code or non-qualified stock options. The Company has reserved 69,270
    shares of its common stock for issuance in connection with the Plan.

        During 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved a similar stock
    option plan for non-employee directors (the "Director Option Plan"). The
    Company has reserved 2,000 shares of its common stock for issuance in
    connection with this plan. As of December 26, 1999, 320 options have been
    granted under this plan.

        The option price for all non-qualified stock options is also determined
    by the Committee, provided that in no event shall it be less than 85% of the
    fair market value of the stock at the time the option is granted. The option
    price for each option which is intended to qualify as an ISO shall be 100%
    of the fair market value of the stock at the time the option is granted
    (110% if the participant owns at least 10% of the stock immediately before
    the ISO is granted). A summary of option activity under both the Plan and
    the Director Option Plan for each of the fiscal years ended December 28,
    1997 and December 27, 1998 and December 26, 1999 is as follows:

       The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
     Compensation". Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for
     the stock option agreements. Had compensation cost for the Company's
     agreements been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for
     awards in 1999, 1998 and 1997 consistent with the provisions of SFAS No.
     123, the Company's net loss and net loss per common share would have been

    respectively.

        The Company has entered into employment agreements with two of its key
    executive officers. These agreements do not exceed four years in term,
    provide for a covenant not to compete for a term of one year subsequent to
    termination of the agreements, and provide for the payment of one year of
    base salary in the event that the employees are terminated.

12.  EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE AGREEMENTS

        As a result of the resignation of the Company's former CEO and Chairman
    of the Board of Directors in January 1998, and in accordance with the terms
    of his employment agreement, the Company was obligated to pay this executive
    $400,000 over the remaining two-year term of his employment agreement. This
    amount, including related payroll taxes, was accrued at December 28, 1997.
    In addition, in March of 1998, the

                                       31
<PAGE>   32
    Company agreed to repurchase 18,019 shares of common stock owned by this
    executive for a sum of $200,000 to be paid as salary in the third year after
    his resignation. The current and long-term portions of this liability are
    included in accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the
    Company's balance sheet at December 26, 1999.

        In addition, the Company forgave a loan outstanding to the executive of
    $50,000, plus any interest accrued thereon. The expense associated with this
    forgiveness of debt is included in general and administrative expenses in
    the Company's statement of operations for the year ended December 28, 1997.
    This executive also relinquished rights to any stock options previously
    granted to him by the Company as well as his subordinate right of first
    refusal with respect to certain other common shares.

        In July 1998, the Company and Mr. Bruce Mosby, the Company's former
    Chief Operating Officer, agreed that Mr. Mosby would leave the Company's
    employ. Later, a legal dispute arose concerning his departure. In October
    1998, the Company and Mr. Mosby agreed to submit their dispute regarding
    their employment separation agreement to mediation. While mediation did not
    resolve the matter, the dispute was settled in February 1999. As a result of
    the settlement, Mr. Mosby received $125,000 from the Company to be paid as
    salary over one year and another $170,000 from the Company's insurance
    carrier which was paid in February of 1999.

13.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        Two directors of the Company are partners in a law firm that provides
    legal services to the Company. The Company paid approximately $840,000, $2.3
    million and $400,000 in legal fees and costs to this firm during the fiscal
    years ended December 26, 1999, December 27, 1998 and December 28, 1997,
    respectively. No payments were made to this firm prior to 1997.

14.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the
    instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing
    parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The carrying amounts
    for cash and cash equivalents, landlord allowances, accounts payable and
    accrued expenses reported in the Company's balance sheet approximate fair
    value based on the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying value
    of the LaSalle and Alliance facilities and the other note payable is a
    reasonable estimate of fair value as the risk is commensurate with the terms
    and collateral of the agreement. The fair value of the Company's publicly
    traded debt was approximately $46.4 million based on the bid prices in the
    public bond market as of December 26, 1999.

15. EXTRAORDINARY LOSS FROM EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

        In connection with the termination of the Raytheon and LaSalle loan
    agreements in 1998, the Company recognized an extraordinary loss of
    approximately $334,000 for the write-off of the unamortized balance of debt
    issue costs related to these agreements. This amounted to a net loss per
    share amount of $11.64. There was no tax effect on this loss, based on the
    Company fully reserving against the deferred tax asset.

        In connection with the termination of the Heller facility (as discussed
    in Note 7), the Company recognized an extraordinary loss of approximately
    $782,000 for the write-off of the unamortized balance of debt issue costs
    related to this agreements. This amounted to a net loss per share amount of
    $28.15. There was no tax effect on this loss, based on the Company fully
    reserving against the deferred tax asset.

16.  REDUCTION IN FORCE


                                       32
<PAGE>   33
        On February 8, 1999, eight general and administrative employees were
    released from their employment with the Company as part of a reduction in
    force. This reduction in force was primarily focused on the Company's growth
    related personnel, including regional directors of development and
    acquisitions and corporate and field level construction managers. In
    connection with this reduction in force, the Company paid approximately
    $55,000 in severance and approximately $11,000 in accrued vacation
    benefits to these eight employees. These expenses were recorded in the
    first quarter of 1999.

        On April 23, 1999, 20 general and administrative employees, including
    the Company's Chief Information Officer, Mr. Patrick Boyer, were released
    from their employment with the Company as part of a reduction in force. In
    connection with this reduction in force, the Company paid approximately
    $72,000 in severance and approximately $20,000 in accrued vacation benefits
    to these employees. These expenses were recorded in the second quarter of
    1999.

        As a result of the Company's slowed expansion and development and public
    equity offering prospects, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Mr. James
    Puckett, left the Company effective May 6, 1999. In the Company's current
    state of slowed growth, the day to day financial responsibilities will be
    assumed by Mr. Peter Ax, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
    Additionally, Mr. John S. Banas, III, the company's general counsel, was
    terminated June 10, 1999. The Company has no plans to hire another general
    counsel.

      Executive Officers vest 20% on each anniversary of the grant.

(2)   Options to purchase 8,000 shares of common stock were granted to Mr. Ax
      and options to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock were granted to each
      Mr. Lombardi. These options have an exercise price of $125.00 per share.

      exercisable at a price of $200.00 per share.

(3)   Each of Messrs. Ax and Lombardi were granted fully vested options to
      purchase 38 shares of common stock in connection with their respective

      goals, provided, however that if such goals are not attained by January
      31, 2002, such options shall be fully vested.


DIRECTOR COMPENSATION; NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN

      Currently, our directors receive no cash compensation for serving on the
Board of Directors. They do, however, receive reimbursement for expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with their service to us as directors. In
1997, we adopted a non-employee director stock option plan (the "Director Option
Plan") to attract and compensate our non-employee directors. The Director Option
Plan was approved by our stockholders in June 1997. We have reserved 2,000
shares of common stock for issuance under the Director Option Plan effective
upon the consummation of the senior discount notes offering. Pursuant to the
plan, all non-employee directors as of the effective date of the Director Option
Plan (July 1, 1997) and as of the first board meeting after the annual
stockholders meeting of each year beginning in 1998, are entitled to a grant of
options to purchase 20 shares of common stock at a price per share equal to the
fair market value per share of the common stock as of the grant date. The
initial grants under the plan vested immediately; subsequent grants vest over
three years on each anniversary of the grant dates. As of December 26, 1999
options to purchase 320 shares have been granted under the Director Option Plan.
Of the 320 stock options granted, 122 options are vested as of December 26,
1999. The remaining 198 options vest in the following manner: 79 on July 1,
2000, 79 on July 1, 2001 and 40 on July 1, 2002.


EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS


                              37
<PAGE>   38

      We have entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs. Ax and
Lombardi. Mr. Ax's agreement, effective as of December 1, 1996 has a term of
four years with automatic one year extensions thereafter, subject to the
provision of at least six months written notice by either party. The agreement
includes a one year post-termination non-competition clause. If Mr. Ax is
terminated by SpinCycle for any other reason except for "cause" as defined in
the agreement, Mr. Ax is entitled to salary and benefits for the remainder of
the term of the agreement, including any bonuses accrued but unpaid as of the
date of termination. In the event of a merger, consolidation or sale of all or
substantially all of our assets, or a reorganization or recapitalization
pursuant to which at least a majority of the equity investment and voting
control is the same as ours, then we may assign our obligations under the
agreement to the surviving or purchasing entity. The terms of the employment
agreement between SpinCycle and Mr. Lombardi are substantially the same as with
Mr. Ax except that upon termination other than for "cause" Mr. Lombardi is
entitled to salary and benefits for one year. Also, Mr. Lombardi's employment
agreement was effective as of June 1, 1997 and has a term of three years with
automatic one year extensions thereafter, subject to the provision of at least
ninety days' written notice by either party.

1995 AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK OPTION PLAN

      We adopted a stock option plan in 1995, which was amended and restated in
1997 (the "1995 Option Plan"), to attract, retain and motivate selected
employees and officers. The 1995 Option Plan was approved by our stockholders in
June 1997. Pursuant to the 1995 Option Plan, options to purchase up to 69,270
shares of our common stock may be granted to our employees or consultants. The
1995 Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee which determines
the persons who are to receive options and the number of shares subject to each
option. As of December 26, 1999, options covering an aggregate of 33,044 shares
of common stock were outstanding, of which 13,502 were vested and none had been
exercised. We also have outstanding one non-plan option to purchase 660 shares
of our common stock.
