PART I
------

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
- -----------------

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

(a) Angelica Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiaries
provide products and services to a wide variety of
institutions and individuals, which are in primarily three
markets: health services, hospitality and other service
industries. The Company was founded in 1878 and was
incorporated as Angelica Corporation in 1968.

(b) The Company's businesses are reported in three industry
segments: Rental Services, Manufacturing and Marketing and
Retail Sales. Information about the Company's industry
segments appears on page 23 of the Company's Annual Report to
Shareholders for the year ended January 29, 1994 and is
incorporated by reference. This information includes sales
and rental service revenues, earnings, identifiable assets for
each segment, depreciation and capital additions for each of
the five years in the period ended January 29, 1994.

(c) 1 (i) RENTAL SERVICES
---------------

This segment has 35 plants generally in or near major
metropolitan areas in the United States providing
textile rental and laundry services for health care
institutions, presently servicing 865 institutions with
approximately 136,000 beds. This segment also provides
general linen services in selected areas, principally
to hotels, casinos, motels and restaurants.

MANUFACTURING AND MARKETING
---------------------------

The Company's Manufacturing and Marketing operations
consist of the Angelica Uniform Group in the United
States and operations in Canada, and the United
Kingdom, collectively engaged in the manufacture and
sale of uniforms and business career apparel for a wide
variety of institutions and businesses.

RETAIL SALES
------------

The Retail Sales segment is a specialty retailer
offering uniforms and duty shoes primarily for nurses
and other health care professionals through a
nationwide chain of 244 retail stores, located
primarily in malls and strip shopping centers.

(ii) Not applicable.


-1-
3
(iii) The raw materials used by the Company (principally by
the Angelica Uniform Group) in the conduct of its
business consist principally of textile piece goods,
thread, and trimmings, such as buttons, zippers and
labels. The Company purchases piece goods from most
major United States manufacturers of textile products.
These materials are available from a number of sources.


(iv) The Company does not hold any material patents,
licenses, franchises or concessions.

(v) The Company does not consider its business to be
seasonal to any significant extent.

(vi) Not applicable.

(vii) No segment of the Company's business is dependent on a
single customer or a few customers.

(viii) Since the bulk of the Company's sales are to
institutional users which buy on a regular recurring
basis, the Company's backlog of orders at any given
time consists principally of firm orders in the process
of being filled and is not considered significant to
the Company's business.

(ix) Not applicable.

(x) The markets in which the Rental Services segment
operates are very competitive. Industry statistics are
not available, but the Company believes that its Rental
Services segment constitutes the largest supplier of
textile rental and laundry services to health care
institutions in the United States. Competition is on
the basis of quality, reliability and price.

The Manufacturing and Marketing operations compete with
more than four dozen firms, including divisions of
larger corporations, in the United States, Canada and
England. Competition is also provided by local firms
in most major metropolitan areas. The nature and
degree of competition varies with the customer and
market where it occurs. Industry statistics are not
available, but the Company believes that it is the
leading supplier of garments to hospitals, hotels and
motels, and food service establishments and one of the
leading suppliers of uniforms to linen suppliers in the
United States. Competition is extensive and is based
on many factors, including design, quality, consistency
of product, delivery, price and distribution.

The Company believes there are approximately 2,000
retail stores in the U.S. offering merchandise
comparable to


-2-
4
that offered by the Company's Retail Sales segment. Retail
operations are conducted under highly competitive conditions
in the local area where each of the Company's stores is
located, with competition being on the basis of store
location, merchandise selection and value. Industry
statistics are not available, but the Company believes its
Retail Sales segment is the nation's largest specialty
retailer offering uniforms and duty shoes to nurses and
other health care professionals.

(xi) The Angelica Uniform Group carries on research,
development and testing programs both internally and in
cooperation with independent laboratories and research
institutions, and works with suppliers to develop
specialized fabrics to improve performance and to meet
specific technological requirements. The dollar amount
spent is not significant.

(xii) The Company does not expect any material expenditures
will be required in order to comply with any Federal,
state or local environmental regulations.

(xiii) The Company employs approximately 9,500 persons
(including approximately 690 part-time employees).

(d) The information required by Section (d) of this Item is hereby
incorporated by reference to Note 9 of "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements" appearing on page 23 of the Company's
Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended January 29,
1994.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
- -------------------

The Company's real estate, both owned and leased, which is
used in its Manufacturing and Marketing segment, at January 29,
1994 was comprised of 16 manufacturing plants in the United States,
one plant in Canada, one plant in Costa Rica, and one plant in
Great Britain, plus appropriate warehouses and sales facilities in
the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. As of January
29, 1994, 35 laundries plus warehouse facilities located in 15
states were used in the Rental Services segment, and 244 retail
specialty stores located in 36 states were used in the Retail Sales
segment. In the opinion of the Company, all such facilities are
maintained in good condition and are adequate and suitable for the
purposes for which they are used. The manufacturing facilities are
normally fully utilized and operate generally on a one-shift basis.
Laundry facilities generally are not fully utilized, although some
of them operate on a multi-shift basis. The Company estimates that
output of these facilities could be increased by 20 percent with
existing equipment by working longer hours and by an additional 25
percent (for a total of 45 percent) by working longer hours plus
installation of additional equipment. A substantial portion of the
real estate utilized by the Company is leased. Capitalized leases,
primarily

-3-
5
utilized by the Manufacturing and Marketing segment, represent
approximately .01% of the net book value of all fixed assets at January
29, 1994. No difficulty in renewing leases which expire in the near
future is anticipated by the Company.

Real estate which is owned by the Company is approximately
50.8% of the net book value of all fixed assets. There is no
individual parcel of real estate owned or leased which is of
material significance to the Company's total assets.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------

Management believes that liabilities, if any, resulting from
pending routine litigation in the ordinary course of the Company's
business should not materially affect the financial condition or
operations of the Company.

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

No matters were submitted to a vote of shareholders during the
fourth quarter of the Company's year ended January 29, 1994.

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


The Company's Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange
under the symbol AGL. The quarterly market price ranges of the
Common Stock and dividends per share paid during fiscal 1994 and
fiscal 1993 were as follows:


Quarter 1st 2nd 3rd 4th
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Fiscal 1994

High $ 27 1/8 $ 26 3/8 $ 26 $ 29 1/2

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


The number of shareholders of record was 1,822 at April 4, 1994.
The Company's Board of Directors regularly reviews the dividends
paid, and the Company expects to continue to pay dividends.
However, there can be no assurance that dividends will be paid in
the future since they are dependent on earnings, the financial
condition of the Company and other factors.

Other Matters
- -------------

For the purposes of complying with the amendments to the rules
governing Form S-8 (effective July 13, 1990), under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, the undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes as follows, which undertaking is hereby incorporated by
reference into registrant's Registration Statements on Form S-8
Nos. 33-5524 (filed May 8, 1986), 33-22850 (filed June 29, 1988),
2-77932 (filed June 9, 1982), 2-97291 (filed April 25, 1985), and
33-625 (filed October 3, 1985).

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
