PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Description of the Business
General
We believe we are the leading provider of outsourced laundry equipment services for multi-family housing properties in North America, based on information provided by the Multi-Housing Laundry Association, a national trade association of multi-housing laundry operators and suppliers. Our core business (which we refer to as the route business) involves leasing laundry rooms from building owners and property management companies, installing and servicing laundry equipment, collecting revenues generated from laundry machines and operating retail laundromats. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, our route business represented approximately 88% of our total revenue.
Our long-term contracts with our customers provide us with stable, recurring revenues and consistent cash flows. We estimate that approximately 90% of our locations are subject to long-term contracts with initial terms of five to ten years, most of which have automatic renewal or right of first refusal provisions. In each year since 1997, we have retained on average approximately 97% of our existing machine base.
The existing customer base for our route business is comprised of owners of rental apartment buildings, property management companies, condominiums and cooperatives, universities and other multi-family housing properties. We typically set pricing for the use of laundry machines on location, and the owner or property manager maintains the premises and provides utilities such as natural gas, electricity and water. Our size and scale offer significant advantages over our competitors in terms of operating efficiencies and the quality of service we provide our customers.
We have grown our route business through selective acquisitions in order to expand and geographically diversify our service territories. Since January 1995, we have enhanced our national presence by completing nine significant acquisitions (as well as numerous smaller acquisitions that we refer to as tuck ins). As a result of the growth in our washer and dryer machine base, our revenue has increased from approximately $178.8 million for the twelve months ended March 29, 1996 to approximately $538.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. We believe this makes us the industrys leading provider with approximately 19% of the total installed machine base in North America. As a result of this strategy, we have expanded our presence from the northeastern United States to throughout North America.
We have experienced net losses in each fiscal year since 2000, and as of March 31, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $187.4 million and total stockholders equity of approximately $99.7 million. As of March 31, 2005, we had approximately $572.3 million aggregate principal amount of long-term debt outstanding to third parties and approximately $81.7 million aggregate principal amount of long-term debt outstanding under an intercompany loan (the Intercompany Loan) payable to Coinmach Service Corp., a Delaware corporation (CSC) and the indirect owner of all of our outstanding capital stock.
In addition to our route business, we rent laundry machines and other household appliances to property owners, managers of multi family housing properties, individuals and corporate entities through our subsidiary Appliance Warehouse of America, Inc. (AWA). AWA is a Delaware corporation that is jointly owned by us and CSC. We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coinmach Laundry Corporation, a Delaware corporation (CLC), which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSC. We also operate a laundry equipment distribution business through Super Laundry Equipment Corp., a Delaware corporation (Super Laundry), our direct wholly-owned subsidiary.
We believe that our route business represents the industry-leading platform from which to continue the consolidation of the fragmented outsourced laundry equipment industry, as well as potentially develop and offer complementary services to other collections based route businesses such as independent payphone operators and
-3-
parking meters. We intend to grow the route operation, as well as utilize our substantial sales, service, collections and security infrastructure throughout the United States to offer related services to businesses outside our existing laundry business. We also intend to continue to evaluate our investment opportunities in AWA and manage Super Laundry and the retail laundromats to improve operating efficiencies, as well as realize cost efficiencies between these businesses and our route operations. See Item 15 Exhibits and Financial Statements Schedules for financial information on each of these business lines.
We are a Delaware corporation, incorporated in 1948 and maintain our headquarters in Plainview, New York, a corporate office in Charlotte, North Carolina and regional offices throughout the United States through which we conduct operating activities, including sales, service and collections.
Our Industry
The laundry equipment services industry is characterized by stable operating cash flows generated by long-term, renewable lease contracts with multi-family housing property owners and management companies. Based upon industry estimates, we believe there are approximately 3.5 million installed machines in multi-family properties throughout the United States, approximately 2.4 million of which have been outsourced to independent operators such as us and approximately 1.1 million of which continue to be operated by the owners of such locations, which we refer to as owner operators.
We believe the industrys consistent revenue and operating cash flows are primarily due to the long-term nature of location leases and the stable demand for laundry services. When new or renewal leases are signed, industry participants incur initial costs including the cost of washers and dryers, laundry room leasehold improvements and, at times, advance location payments. Property owners and landlords are typically responsible for utilities. Moreover, as the useful life of laundry equipment typically extends throughout the term of the contract pursuant to which it is installed, incremental capital requirements including working capital to service such contracts are not significant. Hence, the industrys operating cash flows and capital requirements are predictable.
Historically, the industry has been characterized by stable demand and has generally been resistant to changing market conditions and economic cycles. While the industry is affected by changes in occupancy rates of residential units, the effect of such changes is limited as laundry services are a necessity for tenants.
The laundry equipment services industry remains highly fragmented, with many small, private and family-owned route businesses operating throughout all major metropolitan areas in the United States. According to information provided by the Multi-housing Laundry Association, the industry consists of over 250 independent operators. We believe that the highly fragmented nature of the industry, combined with the competitive advantages associated with economies of scale, will lead to further consolidation within the industry.
Business Operations
Description of Principal Operations
The primary aspects of our route business operations include: (i) sales and marketing; (ii) location leasing; (iii) service; (iv) information management; (v) remanufacturing and (vi) revenue collection and security.
Sales and Marketing
We market our products and services through a sales staff with an average industry experience of over ten years. The principal responsibility of the sales staff is to solicit customers and negotiate lease arrangements with building owners and managers. Sales personnel are paid commissions that comprise generally 50% or more of their annual compensation. Selling commissions are based on a percentage of a locations annualized earnings before interest and taxes. Sales personnel must be proficient with the application of sophisticated financial analyses, which calculate minimum returns on investments to achieve our targeted goals in securing location contracts and renewals. We believe that our sales staff is among the most competent and effective in the industry.

Location Leasing
Our leases provide us the exclusive right to operate and service the installed laundry machines, including repairs, revenue collection and maintenance. We typically set pricing for the use of the machines on location, and the property owner or property manager maintains the premises and provides utilities such as gas, electricity and water.
In return for the exclusive right to provide laundry equipment services, most of our leases provide for monthly commission payments to the location owners. Under the majority of leases, these commissions are based on a percentage of the cash collected from the laundry machines. Many of our leases require us to make advance location payments to the location owner in addition to commissions. Our leases typically include provisions that allow for unrestricted price increases, a right of first refusal (an opportunity to match competitive bids at the expiration of the lease term) and termination rights if we do not receive minimum net revenues from a lease. We have some flexibility in negotiating our leases and, subject to local and regional competitive factors, may vary the terms and conditions of a lease, including commission rates and advance location payments. We evaluate each lease opportunity through our integrated computer systems to achieve a desired level of return on investments.
We estimate that approximately 90% of our locations are under long term leases with initial terms of five to ten years. Of the remaining locations not subject to long-term leases, we believe that we have retained a majority of such customers through long-standing relationships and expect to continue to service such customers. Most of our leases renew automatically or have a right of first refusal provision. Our automatic renewal clause typically provides that, if the building owner fails to take any action prior to the end of the original lease term or any renewal term, the lease will automatically renew on substantially similar terms. As of March 31, 2005, based on number of machines, our leases had an average remaining life to maturity of approximately 53 months (without giving effect to automatic renewals).
Service
Our employees deliver, install, service and collect revenue from washers and dryers in laundry facilities at our leased locations.
Our integrated computer systems allow for the quick dispatch of service technicians in response to both computer-generated (for preventive maintenance) and customer-generated service calls. On a daily basis, we receive and respond to approximately 2,500 service calls. We estimate that less than 1% of our machines are out of service on any given day. The ability to reduce machine down-time, especially during peak usage, enhances revenue and improves our reputation with our customers.
In a business that emphasizes prompt and efficient service, we believe that our integrated computer systems provide a significant competitive advantage in terms of responding promptly to customer needs. Computer generated service calls for preventive maintenance are based on previous service history, repeat service call analysis and monitoring of service areas. These systems coordinate our radio-equipped service vehicles and allow us to address customer needs quickly and efficiently.
Information Management
Our integrated computer systems serve three major functions: (i) tracking the service cycle of equipment; (ii) monitoring revenues and costs by location, customer and salesperson; and (iii) providing information on competitors and our lease renewal schedules.
Our computer systems provide speed and accuracy throughout the entire service cycle by integrating the functions of service call entry, dispatching service personnel, parts and equipment purchasing, installation, distribution and collection. In addition to coordinating all aspects of the service cycle, our integrated computer systems track contract performance, which indicate potential machine problems or pilferage and provide data to forecast future equipment servicing requirements. Given the rapid changes in technology, we are constantly working with vendors to upgrade our integrated computer systems to enhance the productivity of our workforce. To
-5-
that end, we initiated a comprehensive program in September 2003 through which we will improve communications among our regions and maximize cost savings, including programs related to business intelligence, field service management and sales force automation.
Data on machine performance is used by our sales staff to forecast revenue by location. We are able to obtain daily, monthly, quarterly and annual reports on location performance, coin collection, service and sales activity by salesperson.
Our integrated computer systems also provide our sales staff with an extensive database essential to our marketing strategy to obtain new business through competitive bidding or owner operator conversion opportunities.
We also believe that our integrated computer systems enhance our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses into our existing operations. Regional or certain multi-regional acquisitions have typically been substantially integrated within 90 to 120 days, while a local acquisition can be integrated almost immediately.
Remanufacturing
We rebuild and reinstall a portion of our machines at approximately one third the cost of acquiring new machines, providing cost savings. Remanufactured machines are restored to virtually new condition with the same estimated average life and service requirements as new machines. Machines that can no longer be remanufactured are added to our inventory of spare parts.
Revenue Collection and Security
We believe that we provide the highest level of security for revenue collection control in the laundry equipment services industry. We utilize numerous precautionary procedures with respect to cash collection, including frequent alteration of collection patterns and extensive monitoring of collections and personnel. We enforce stringent employee standards and screening procedures for prospective employees. Employees responsible for, or who have access to, the collection of funds are tested randomly and frequently. Additionally, our security department performs trend and variance analyses of daily collections by location. Security personnel monitor locations, conduct investigations, and implement additional security procedures as necessary.
Description of Complementary Operations
Rental Operations
AWA is involved in the business of leasing laundry equipment and other household appliances and electronic items to corporate relocation entities, property owners, managers of multi-family housing properties and individuals. With access to approximately six million individual housing units, we believe this business line represents an opportunity for growth in a new market segment which is complementary to our route business. We have organically grown AWAs operations, resulting in revenue growth from approximately $11.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 to approximately $34.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. We intend to continue our investment efforts in AWA in order to facilitate its ongoing growth. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, revenue generated by AWA represented approximately 6% of our total revenue.
Distribution Operations
Super Laundry is a laundromat equipment distribution company which was incorporated in 1995. Super Laundrys business consists of constructing complete turnkey retail laundromats, retrofitting existing retail laundromats, distributing exclusive and non-exclusive lines of commercial coin and non-coin operated machines and parts, and selling service contracts. Super Laundrys customers generally enter into sales contracts pursuant to which Super Laundry constructs and equips a complete laundromat operation, including location identification, construction, plumbing, electrical wiring and all required permits. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, revenue generated by Super Laundry represented approximately 6% of our total revenue.
-6-
Customers
No one customer accounts for more than 2% of our total revenues, with our ten largest customers representing less than 10% of our total revenues in the aggregate.
Competition
The laundry equipment services industry is highly competitive, capital intensive and requires reliable and quality service. Despite the overall fragmentation of the industry, we believe there are currently three multi regional route operators, including us, with significant operations throughout the United States. Our two major multi regional competitors are Web Service Company, Inc. and Mac-Gray Corp. Our two largest competitors each represent less than 10% of the total installed machine base in North America, and the remainder is highly fragmented.
We believe our most significant competitive strength is our ability to maximize commissions and/or make advance location payments to location owners while maintaining the highest level of service. We are significantly larger than the next largest competitor, and we are the only provider with a national presence. As such, we can spread our overhead costs over a larger machine base, allowing us a competitive advantage by offering more attractive pricing terms to our customers. In addition, our national presence enables us to offer large national customers broader coverage in order to service a wider range of their properties.
Employees and Labor Relations
As of March 31, 2005, we employed 2,082 employees (including 294 laundromat attendants in our retail laundromats in Texas and Arizona). In the Northeast region, 119 hourly workers are represented by Local 966, affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. We believe that we maintain a good relationship with our union and non-union employees, and we have never experienced a work stoppage since our inception.
General Development of Business
Our original predecessor entity was founded over 50 years ago as a private, family-run business with operations in New York. Since then, the business has grown organically under its founders and subsequent owners.
Since January 1995, we have enhanced our national presence by completing nine significant acquisitions (as well as numerous tuck-in acquisitions). As a result of the growth in our washer and dryer machine base, our revenue has increased from approximately $178.8 million for the twelve months ended March 29, 1996 to approximately $538.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. As a result of this strategy, we have expanded our presence from the northeastern United States to throughout North America.
On May 12, 2000, CLC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with CLC Acquisition Corporation (CLC Acquisition), a Delaware corporation, controlled by GTCR Fund IV. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, CLC Acquisition acquired all of CLCs outstanding common stock and non-voting common stock for $14.25 per share in a two-step going-private transaction consisting of a tender offer followed by a merger transaction of CLC Acquisition with and into CLC. Effective July 13, 2000, CLC Acquisition was merged with and into CLC pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. CLCs Class A common stock was subsequently delisted from The NASDAQ Stock Market, and CLC no longer was subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We refer to the foregoing transactions collectively as the Going Private Transaction.
Appliance Warehouse Transfer
On November 29, 2002, we transferred all of the assets of our Appliance Warehouse division to AWA. The value of the assets transferred as determined by an independent appraiser as of such date was approximately $34.7 million. In exchange for the transfer of such assets, AWA issued to us (i) an unsecured promissory note payable on demand in the amount of approximately $19.6 million which accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum, (ii) 1,000 shares of
-7-
AWA preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the AWA Preferred Stock), with a liquidation value of approximately $14.6 million, and (iii) 10,000 shares of AWA common stock, par value $0.01 per share (AWA Common Stock). The AWA Preferred Stock is not redeemable and is vested with voting rights. Except as may otherwise be required by applicable law, the AWA Common Stock does not have any voting rights. Dividends on the AWA Preferred Stock accrue quarterly at the rate of 11% per annum and are payable in cash, in kind in the form of additional shares of AWA Preferred Stock, or in a combination thereof, at the option of AWA.
In March 2003, through a series of related restructuring transactions, which we refer to herein as the AWA Transactions, all of the AWA Common Stock and all of the outstanding capital stock of CLC was contributed to Coinmach Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Holdings) in exchange for equity interests (in the form of common and preferred membership units) in Holdings. As a result of the AWA Transactions, (i) Holdings became the sole holder of all of the outstanding AWA Common Stock, (ii) we became the sole holder of all of the outstanding AWA Preferred Stock, (iii) CLC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, (iv) the former stockholders of CLC became unit holders of Holdings and (v) AWA, subject to certain specified qualifications, became a guarantor under, and subject to the covenants contained in, the indenture governing our 9% senior notes due 2010 (the 9% Senior Notes) and our senior secured credit facility, dated January 25, 2002 (the Senior Secured Credit Facility).
The Initial Public Offering and Related Transactions
On November 24, 2004, CSC completed an initial public offering of Income Deposit Securities (the IDSs) and a concurrent offering of 11% senior secured notes due 2024 (the 11% Senior Secured Notes) sold separate and apart from the IDSs. In connection with the initial public offering and a series of corporate reorganizations and other transactions related to the initial public offering, (i) CSC became controlled by Holdings, (ii) CLC became the wholly-owned subsidiary of CSC and a guarantor of the 11% Senior Secured Notes, and (iii) CSC became the sole holder of the AWA Common Stock and we became the sole holder of the AWA Preferred Stock. The initial public offering and related transactions are referred to herein collectively as the IDS Transactions.
CSC used a portion of the proceeds from the initial public offering of IDSs and concurrent senior secured note offering (including a portion of proceeds received pursuant to the exercise of an over allotment option by the underwriters of the initial public offering) to make the Intercompany Loan to us in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $81.7 million and a capital contribution (the Capital Contribution) to us through CLC of approximately $165.6 million. We used a portion of the Intercompany Loan and Capital Contribution to redeem a portion of the 9% Senior Notes and to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Intercompany Loan is evidenced by an intercompany note (the Intercompany Note). See Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition Liquidity and Capital Resources Financing Activities The Intercompany Loan for more information on the Intercompany Loan and the Intercompany Note. We received the necessary consents of our lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facility in order to permit the IDS Transactions.
Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward looking statements, including, without limitation, the statements under Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these provisions. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about our future financial position, adequacy of available cash resources, common stock dividend policy and anticipated payments, business strategy, competition, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations. These forward-looking statements are usually accompanied by words such as
-8-
may, will, expect, intend, project, estimate, anticipate, believe, continue and similar expressions. The forward looking information is based on various factors and was derived using numerous assumptions.
Forward-looking statements necessarily involve risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those set forth below and in this report. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on such statements and undertake no obligation to update publicly and forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this report.
Certain factors, including but not limited to those listed below, may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations, estimates, projections, forecasts and from past results:
| the restrictive debt covenants and other requirements related to our substantial leverage that could restrict our operating flexibility; | |||
| our ability to continue to renew our lease contracts with property owners and management companies; | |||
| extended periods of reduced occupancy which could result in reduced revenues and cash flow from operations in certain areas; | |||
| our ability to compete effectively in a highly competitive and capital intensive industry which is fragmented nationally, with many small, private and family-owned businesses operating throughout all major metropolitan areas; | |||
| compliance obligations and liabilities under regulatory, judicial and environmental laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, governmental action imposing heightened energy and water efficiency standards or other requirements with respect to commercial clothes washers; | |||
| our ability to maintain borrowing flexibility and to meet our projected and future cash needs, including capital expenditure requirements with respect to maintaining our machine base, given our substantial level of indebtedness, history of net losses and reduced liquidity resulting from any distributions we may make to CSC should it elect to pay cash dividends on its common stock; | |||
| risks associated with expansion of our business through tuck-ins and other acquisitions and integration of acquired operations into our existing business; | |||
| the risk of adverse tax consequences and resulting reductions in liquidity should the 11% Senior Secured Notes that underlie the IDSs not be respected as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes; | |||
| risks associated with changes in accounting standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants; and | |||
| other factors discussed elsewhere in this report and in our public filings with the SEC. |
Several important factors, in addition to the specific factors discussed in connection with each forward-looking statement individually, could affect our future results or expectations and could cause those results and expectations to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements contained in this report. These additional factors include, among other things, future economic, industry, social, competitive and regulatory conditions, demographic trends, financial market conditions, future business decisions and actions of our competitors, suppliers, customers and stockholders and legislative, judicial and other governmental authorities, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. These factors, in some cases, have affected, and in the future, together with other factors, could affect, our ability to implement our
-9-
business strategy and may cause our future performance and actual results of operations to vary significantly from those contemplated by the statements expressed in this report.
Risk Factors
Our business faces many risks. The risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business and operations. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer.
Risks Relating to Our Business
We have a history of net losses and may not generate profits in the future.
We have experienced net losses in each fiscal year since 2000. We incurred net losses of approximately $15.3 million and $6.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, respectively. These losses have resulted from a variety of costs including, but not limited to, non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and debt financing costs resulting from our growth strategy. Continuing net losses limit our ability to service our debt and fund our operations. We may not generate net income from operations in the future.
Our business could suffer if we are unsuccessful in negotiating lease renewals.
Our business is highly dependent upon the renewal of our lease contracts with property owners and management companies. We have historically focused on obtaining long-term, renewable lease contracts, and management estimates that approximately 90% of our locations are subject to long-term leases with initial terms of five to ten years. If we are unable to secure long-term exclusive leases on favorable terms or at all, or if property owners or management companies choose to vacate properties as a result of economic downturns that impact occupancy levels our growth, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We may not be able to successfully identify attractive tuck-in acquisitions, successfully integrate acquired operations or realize the intended benefits of acquisitions.
We evaluate from time to time opportunities to acquire local, regional and multi-regional route businesses. This strategy is subject to numerous risks, including:
| an inability to obtain sufficient financing to complete our acquisitions; | |||
| an inability to negotiate definitive acquisition agreements on satisfactory terms; | |||
| difficulty in integrating the operations, systems and management of acquired assets and absorbing the increased demands on our administrative, operational and financial resources; | |||
| the diversion of our managements attention from their other responsibilities; | |||
| the loss of key employees following completion of our acquisitions; | |||
| the failure to realize the intended benefits of our acquisitions; and | |||
| our being subject to unknown liabilities. |
-10-
Our inability to effectively address these risks could force us to revise our business plan, incur unanticipated expenses or forego additional opportunities for expansion.
If our required capital expenditures exceed our projections, we may not have sufficient funding, which could adversely affect our growth, financial condition and results of operations.
We must continue to make capital expenditures relating to our route business to maintain our operating base, including investments in equipment, advance location payments and laundry room improvements. Capital expenditures (net of proceeds from the sale of equipment and investments) in connection with maintaining and expanding our machine base for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 were approximately $70.3 million (excluding approximately $0.6 million relating to acquisition capital expenditures and payments of approximately $4.3 million relating to capital lease obligations) and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 were approximately $84.8 million (excluding approximately $3.6 million relating to acquisitions and payments of approximately $4.0 million relating to capital lease obligations). We may have unanticipated capital expenditure requirements in the future. If we cannot obtain such capital from increases in our cash flow from operating activities, additional borrowings or other sources, our growth, financial condition and results of operations could suffer materially.
Reduced occupancy levels could adversely affect us.
Extended periods of reduced occupancy can adversely affect our operations. In a period of occupancy decline, we could be faced with reductions in revenues and cash flow from operations in certain areas. In past periods of occupancy decline, we designed incentive programs that were successful in maintaining stable profit margins by offering owners and management companies, financial incentives relating to increased occupancy levels in exchange for certain guaranteed minimum periodic payments. Although we are geographically diversified and our revenue is derived from a large customer base, we may not be able to maintain our revenue levels or cash flow from operations in periods of low occupancy.
Our business could be adversely affected by the loss of one or more of our key personnel.
Our continued success will depend largely on the efforts and abilities of our executive officers and certain other key employees. We do not maintain insurance policies with respect to the retention of such employees, and our operations could be affected adversely if, for any reason, such officers or key employees do not remain with us.
Our industry is highly competitive, which could adversely affect our business.
The laundry equipment services industry is highly competitive, capital intensive and requires reliable, quality service. The industry is fragmented nationally, with many small, private and family-owned businesses operating throughout all major metropolitan areas. Notwithstanding the fragmentation of the industry, there are currently three companies, including us, with significant operations in multiple regions throughout the United States. Some of our competitors may possess greater financial and other resources. Furthermore, current and potential competitors may make acquisitions or may establish relationships among themselves or with third parties to increase their ability to compete within the industry. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. If this were to occur, our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
Our business may be adversely affected by compliance obligations and liabilities under environmental laws and regulations.
Our business and operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that impose limitations on the discharge of, and establish standards for the handling, generation, emission, release, discharge, treatment, storage and disposal of, certain materials, substances and wastes. To the best of managements knowledge, there are no existing or potential environmental claims against us, nor have we received any notification of responsibility for, or any inquiry or investigation regarding, any disposal, release or threatened release of any hazardous material, substance or waste generated by us that is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. However, we cannot predict with any certainty that we will not in the future incur
-11-
any liability under environmental laws and regulations that could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.
Current Arizona, California, Connecticut, New Jersey and Maryland state law and proposed legislation in other states imposing heightened energy and water efficiency standards on commercial clothes washers could require a significant increase in our capital expenditures and consequently reduce our profit margins.
Under current federal Department of Energy (referred to as the DOE) regulations, residential washers are subject to certain federal energy efficiency standards. States are explicitly preempted from regulating the energy efficiency of any products, including residential washers, covered by such federal regulations. However, the DOE does not consider commercial washers, including those similar in all respects to residential washers except for the addition of a coin slot or other device to accept payment, to be covered by its regulations. As a result, Arizona, California, Connecticut, New Jersey and Maryland were able to adopt statewide regulations for commercial washers which are scheduled to go into effect in 2007 and 2008. Such regulations either heightened the federal DOE energy efficiency standards applicable to residential washers, or accelerated the effective date of certain federal standards scheduled to be implemented. If the DOE does not amend the interpretation of its existing regulations to include commercial washers and thereby preclude the implementation of the Arizona, California, Connecticut, New Jersey and Maryland laws and the proposed legislation in other states, and if other states adopt standards similar to Arizonas, Californias, Connecticuts, New Jerseys and Marylands, our capital expenditures, as well as those of other industry participants, may significantly increase in order to comply with such standards. If we are unable to mitigate such increased capital through price increases, we may be unable to recover such costs and our cash flows would be materially adversely affected.
Dividend payments on our common stock may negatively impact our ability to finance our working capital requirements, capital expenditures or operations.
In connection with the IDS Transactions, CSC, our indirect parent, issued approximately $136.1 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes. CSC is required to make quarterly interest payments pursuant to the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes . In addition, the board of directors of CSC adopted a dividend policy in connection with the IDS Transactions pursuant to which it intends, at its discretion, to declare dividends on its common stock, subject to compliance with its certificate of incorporation and the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes. We expect to make dividend payments on our common stock, subject to compliance with the terms of our indebtedness, in order to service payments owed by CSC under the 11% Senior Secured Notes and, if and when declared by the board of directors of CSC, dividends on its common stock. If we were to use working capital or permanent borrowings to fund dividends (for example, borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility), we would have less cash and/or borrowing capacity available for other purposes. As a result, we may not retain a sufficient amount of cash to finance growth opportunities that may arise or unanticipated capital expenditure needs or to fund our operations in the event of a significant business downturn or changes in our industry. We may have to forego growth opportunities or capital expenditures that would otherwise be necessary or desirable if we do not fund alternative sources of financing. If we do not have sufficient cash for these purposes our future liquidity would be negatively impacted, and our financial condition and our business will suffer.
Risks Relating to Our Securities
We have substantial indebtedness which could restrict our ability to pay interest and principal on the 9% Senior Secured Notes and could adversely affect our financing options and liquidity position.
We have a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of March 31, 2005, we had $572.3 million aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding to third parties, approximately $81.7 million aggregate principal amount of long-term indebtedness outstanding under the Intercompany Loan, and an additional $68.6 million available for borrowing under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences. For example, our substantial indebtedness could:
-12-
| make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the 9% Senior Secured Notes and our other indebtedness; | |||
| limit our flexibility to adjust to changing market conditions, reduce our ability to withstand competitive pressures and increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; | |||
| limit our ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital expenditures, future business opportunities, including strategic acquisitions, and other general corporate requirements or hinder us from obtaining such financing on terms favorable to us or at all; | |||
| require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, future business opportunities and other general corporate purposes; | |||
| limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; and | |||
| limit our ability to refinance our indebtedness. |
We may be able to incur substantially more indebtedness, which could exacerbate the risks described above.
We may be able to incur substantial amounts of additional indebtedness in the future, including indebtedness resulting from issuances of additional notes. While the indenture governing the 9% Senior Secured Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facility limit our and our subsidiaries ability to incur additional indebtedness, those limitations are subject to a number of exceptions. Any additional indebtedness incurred by us could increase the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.
Restrictive covenants in our current and future indebtedness could adversely restrict our operating flexibility.
The indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes contains covenants that restrict our ability to:
| incur additional indebtedness or, in the case of our restricted subsidiaries, issue preferred stock; | |||
| create liens; | |||
| pay dividends or make other restricted payments; | |||
| make certain investments; | |||
| sell or make certain dispositions of assets; | |||
| engage in sale and leaseback transactions; | |||
| engage in transactions with affiliates; | |||
| place restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us; and | |||
| engage in mergers or consolidations and transfers of all or substantially all of our assets. |
-13-
In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facility contains, and the terms of any other indebtedness that we or our subsidiaries may enter into may contain, other and more restrictive covenants that limit our and our subsidiaries ability to incur indebtedness, and make capital expenditures and limit our subsidiaries ability to make distributions or pay dividends to us. These covenants may also require us and/or our subsidiaries to meet or maintain specified financial ratios and tests. Our ability to comply with the ratios and tests under these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial, regulatory or industry conditions. A breach of any of such covenants, ratios or tests could result in a default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility or the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes.
Lack of a significant amount of cash could adversely affect our growth, financial condition and results of operations.
Our ability to make payments on, refinance or repay our debt, or to fund planned capital expenditures and expand our business, will depend largely upon our future operating performance. Our future operating performance is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors, as well as other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot give assurance that our business will generate enough cash to enable us to pay our outstanding debt or fund our other liquidity and capital needs. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash to service our debt requirements, we may be required, among other things, to:
| obtain capital from additional borrowings; | |||
| sell certain assets to meet our debt service requirements; | |||
| reduce or delay capital expenditures; and | |||
| refinance or negotiate with our lenders to restructure all or a portion of our applicable debt. |
Such measures might not be available to us on economically favorable terms, or at all. If we cannot satisfy our cash requirements, our growth, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE OUR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Market Information
There currently exists no established public trading market for our common stock, all of which is held beneficially and of record by CLC.
Holders
As of March 31, 2005, there was one holder of record of our common stock.
Dividends
On November 24, 2004 and December 21, 2004, in connection with the IDS Transactions, cash dividends on our outstanding common stock aggregating approximately $93.5 million were paid to CLC. On February 8, 2005, our board of directors approved an aggregate cash dividend of approximately $3.3 million on our outstanding common stock, which cash dividend was paid on March 1, 2005 to CLC (which in turn paid an equal amount of cash dividend on its Class B1 and Class B2 preferred stock to CSC) to satisfy in part, CSCs distribution payments under the IDSs. These were the only cash dividend payments on our common stock made during the two most recently completed fiscal years. On March 4, 2003, in order to affect the AWA Transactions, we declared and paid a dividend on our common stock in the form of all of the outstanding AWA Common Stock.
On May 12, 2005, our board of directors approved an aggregate cash dividend of approximately $5.4 million on our outstanding common stock, which cash dividend was paid on June 1, 2005 to CLC (which in turn paid an equal amount of cash dividend on its Class B1 and Class B2 preferred stock to CSC) to satisfy in part, CSCs distribution payments under the IDSs. We expect to make dividend payments on our common stock in order to service payments owed by CSC under the 11% Senior Secured Notes and, if and when declared by the board of directors of CSC, dividends on its common stock.
Dividend payments by us are subject to restrictions contained in certain of our outstanding debt and financing agreements relating to the payment of cash dividends on our common stock. We may in the future enter into loan or other agreements or issue debt securities or preferred stock that restrict the payment of cash dividends or certain other distributions. See Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation Liquidity and Capital Resources.

(3) | EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before deductions for interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Management believes that EBITDA is useful as a means to evaluate our ability to service existing debt, to sustain potential future increases in debt and to satisfy capital requirements. EBITDA is also used by management as a measure of evaluating the performance of our three operating segments. Management further believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance as it is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges and more reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance. Management uses EBITDA to develop compensation plans to measure sales force performance and to allocate capital assets. Additionally, because we have historically provided EBITDA to investors, we believe that presenting this non-GAAP financial measure provides consistency in our financial reporting. Managements use of EBITDA, however, is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor has it been presented as an alternative to either (a) operating income (as determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) as an indicator of operating performance or (b) cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (as determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) as a measure of liquidity. Given that EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following tables reconcile our net loss and cash flow provided by operating activities to EBITDA for each period presented (in thousands). |

Therefore, the financial statements presented for the Post-Transaction period are not comparable to the financial statements presented for the Pre-Transaction period.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis pertains to our results of operations and financial position for the years indicated and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto referred to in Item 8Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. Except for the historical information contained herein, certain matters discussed in this document are forward looking statements based on the beliefs of our management and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties discussed below under Item 1BusinessSpecial Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements, and the other risks set forth in Item 1BusinessRisk Factors. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our future performance and actual results of operations may differ materially from those expected or intended.
Introduction
Our primary financial objective is to increase our cash flow from operations. Cash flow from operations represents a source of funds available to service indebtedness, pay dividends and for investment in both organic growth and growth through acquisitions. We have experienced net losses during the past three fiscal years. Such net losses were attributable in part to significant non-cash charges associated with our acquisitions and the related amortization of contract rights (for all three fiscal years) and goodwill (for the 2002 fiscal year) accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. We incur significant depreciation and amortization expense relating to annual capital expenditures, which also reduces our net income. The continued incurrence of significant depreciation and amortization expenses may cause us to continue to incur net losses.
Overview
We are principally engaged in the business of supplying laundry equipment services to multi family housing properties. Our most significant revenue source is our route business, which over the last three fiscal years has accounted for approximately 88% of our revenue. Through our route operations, we provide laundry equipment services to locations by leasing laundry rooms from building owners and property management companies, typically on a long term, renewable basis. In return for the exclusive right to provide these services, most of our contracts provide for commission payments to the location owners. Commission expense (also referred to as rent expense), our single largest expense item, is included in laundry operating expenses and represents payments to location owners. Commissions may be fixed amounts or percentages of revenues and are generally paid monthly. In addition to commission payments, many of our leases require us to make advance location payments to location owners, which are capitalized and amortized over the life of the applicable leases. Advance location payments to location owners are paid, as required by the applicable lease, at the inception or renewal of a lease for the right to operate applicable laundry rooms during the contract period, which generally ranges from 5 to 10 years. The amount of advance location payments varies depending on the size of the location and the term of the lease.
Included in our route business are retail laundromats which we operate in Texas and Arizona. The operation of retail laundromats involves leasing store locations in desirable geographic areas, maintaining an appropriate mix of washers and dryers at each store location and servicing the washers and dryers at such locations.
In addition to our route business, we also operate an equipment rental business through AWA. AWA leases laundry equipment and other household appliances and electronic items to property owners, managers of multi family housing properties, and, to a lesser extent, individuals and corporate entities.
We also operate an equipment distribution business through Super Laundry. Super Laundrys business consists of constructing and designing complete turnkey retail laundromats, retrofitting existing retail laundromats, distributing exclusive lines of commercial coin and non-coin operated machines and parts, and selling service contracts.
-20-
Laundry operating expenses include, in addition to commission payments, (i) the cost of machine maintenance and revenue collection in the route and retail laundromat business, including payroll, parts, insurance and other related expenses, (ii) costs and expenses incurred in maintaining our retail laundromats, including utilities and related expenses, (iii) the cost of sales associated with the equipment distribution business and (iv) certain expenses related to the operation of our rental business.
Critical Accounting Policies: Use of Estimates
Our financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of our accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue and cash and cash equivalents include an estimate of cash and coin not yet collected at the end of a reporting period, which remain at laundry room locations. We calculate the estimated amount of cash and coin not yet collected at the end of a reporting period, which remain at laundry room locations by multiplying the average daily collection amount applicable to the location with the number of days the location had not been collected. We analytically review the estimated amount of cash and coin not yet collected at the end of a reporting period by comparing such amount with collections subsequent to the reporting period.
We are required to estimate the collectibility of our receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including the current credit-worthiness of each customer. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. Allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2005 was approximately $3.8 million.
We currently have significant deferred tax assets, which are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. Realization of our deferred tax assets is principally dependent upon our achievement of projected future taxable income. Managements judgments regarding future profitability may change due to future market conditions and other factors. These changes, if any, may require possible material adjustments to these deferred tax asset balances.
We have significant costs in excess of net assets acquired (goodwill), contract rights and long-lived assets. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis. Additionally, goodwill is tested between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We have determined that our reporting units with goodwill consist of our route business, AWA and Super Laundry. Goodwill attributed to the route business, AWA and Super Laundry at March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 was approximately $195.0 million, $6.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively. In performing the annual goodwill assessment, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its net asset-carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, then it is determined that goodwill is not impaired. Should the carrying amount exceed the fair value, the second step in the impairment test would be required to be performed to determine the amount of goodwill write-off. The fair value for these tests is based upon a discounted cash flow model. Factors that generally impact cash flows include commission rates paid to property owners, occupancy rates at properties, sensitivity to price increases, loss of existing machine base and the prevailing general economic and market conditions. An annual assessment of goodwill as of January 1, 2005 was performed and it was determined that no impairment exists.
Contract rights represent amounts expended for location contracts arising from the acquisition of laundry machines on location. These amounts arose solely from purchase price allocations pursuant to acquisitions made by us over a number of years based on an analysis of future cash flows. We do not record contract rights relating to new locations signed in the ordinary course of business. We estimate that 90% of our contracts are long-term whereby the average term is approximately 8 years with staggered maturities. Of the remaining locations not subject to long-term agreements, we believe that we have retained a majority of such customers through long-standing relationships and continue to service such customers. Although the contracts have a legal life, there are other factors such as renewals, customer relationships and extensions that contribute to a value greater than the initial contract term. Over 90% of our contracts renew automatically and we have a right of first refusal upon termination in over 60% of our contracts. The automatic renewal clause typically provides that, if the property owner fails to take any action prior to
-21-
the end of the lease term or any renewal term, the lease will automatically renew on substantially similar terms. In addition, over 85% of our contracts allow for unilateral price increases. Historically, we have demonstrated an ability to renew contracts, retain our customers and build upon those relationships. Since April 1997, we have posted net machine gains, exclusive of acquisitions, and our losses have averaged approximately 3% annually. Therefore, we believe that the cash flows from these contracts continue to be generated beyond the initial legal contract term and subsequent renewal periods. As a result, we believe that the useful lives of contract rights are related to the expected cash flows that are associated with those rights and the amortization periods for contract rights should generally reflect those useful lives and, by extension, the cash flow streams associated with them. The useful lives being used to amortize contract rights range from approximately 30 to 35 years.
We have twenty-eight geographic regions to which contract rights have been allocated, which regions represent the lowest level of identifiable cash flows in grouping contract rights. Each region consists of approximately 1,000 to 8,000 contracts for the various locations/properties that comprise that region. We do not analyze impairment of contract rights on a contract-by-contract basis. Although we have contracts at every location/property and analyze revenue and certain direct costs on a contract-by-contract basis, we do not allocate common region costs and servicing costs to each contract.
We assess the recoverability of location contract rights and long-lived assets on a region-by-region basis. We evaluate the financial performance/cash flows for each region. This evaluation includes analytically comparing the financial results/cash flows and certain statistical performance measures for each region to prior period/year actuals and budgeted amounts. Factors that generally impact cash flows include commission rates paid to property owners, occupancy rates at properties, sensitivity to price increases and the regions general economic conditions. In addition, each year we lose a certain amount of our existing machine base, which essentially equates to loss of contract rights. Such loss has historically averaged approximately 3% annually. The accelerated amortization of contract rights is designed to capture and expense this shrinking machine base. An increase in the historical loss rate would also be a strong indicator of possible impairment of location contract rights and long-lived assets. If based on our initial evaluation there are indicators of impairment that result in losses to the machine base, or an event occurs that would indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable, we reevaluate the carrying value of contract rights and long-lived assets based on future undiscounted cash flows attributed to that region and record an impairment loss based on discounted cash flows if the carrying amount of the contract rights are not recoverable from undiscounted cash flows. Based on present operations and strategic plans, we believe that there have not been any indicators of impairment of location contract rights or long-lived assets.

We have experienced net losses in each fiscal year since March 31, 2000. Such net losses are attributable in part to significant non-cash charges associated with our acquisitions and the related amortization of contract rights (for all fiscal years) and goodwill (only through the 2002 fiscal year) accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. We incur significant depreciation and amortization expense relating to annual capital expenditures, which also reduces our net income. The continued incurrence of significant depreciation and amortization expenses may cause us to incur a net loss.
EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before deductions for interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Management believes that EBITDA is useful as a means to evaluate our ability to service existing debt, to sustain potential future increases in debt and to satisfy capital requirements. EBITDA is also used by management as a measure of evaluating the performance of our three operating segments. Management further believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance as it is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges and more reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance. Management uses EBITDA to develop compensation plans, to measure sales force performance and to allocate capital assets. Additionally, because we have historically provided EBITDA to investors, we believe that presenting this non-GAAP financial measure provides consistency in financial reporting. Our use of EBITDA, however, is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor has it been presented as an alternative to either (a) operating income (as determined by GAAP) as an indicator of operating performance or (b) cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (as determined by GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. Given that EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. See footnote (3) of the table contained under Item 6Selected Financial DataSelected Historical Financial Data for a reconciliation of net loss and cash flow provided by operating activities to EBITDA for the periods indicated in the table immediately above.
EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. Management believes that EBITDA margin is a useful measure to evaluate our performance over various sales levels. EBITDA margin should not be considered as an alternative to measurements determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2004
The following table sets forth our revenues for the years indicated:

$ | 538.6 | $ | 531.1 | $ | 7.5 | |||||||
Revenue increased by approximately $7.5 million or approximately 1% for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2004 Fiscal Year.
Route revenue for the 2005 Fiscal Year increased by approximately $2.9 million or less than 1% from the 2004 Fiscal Year. We believe that the increase was due to the net result of an increase in third party service income and price increases, offset by decreased revenue primarily in the Southwest and Midwest operations caused by higher vacancy rates in these regions.
Rental revenue for the 2005 Fiscal Year increased by approximately $1.8 million or 6% over the 2004 Fiscal Year. This increase was primarily the result of internal growth of the machine base in existing areas of operations during the current and prior years.
-23-
Distribution revenue for the 2005 Fiscal Year increased by approximately $2.8 million or 10% from the 2004 Fiscal Year. Sales from the distribution business unit are sensitive to general market conditions and economic conditions. The increase was primarily due to increased sales from the Northeast and Midwest operations offset slightly by decreased revenue resulting from the closing of operations in California. Distribution revenue from our California operations was approximately $1.8 million and $3.0 million for the 2005 Fiscal Year and the 2004 Fiscal Year, respectively.
Laundry operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased by approximately $2.3 million or less than 1% for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2004 Fiscal Year. This increase in laundry operating expenses was due primarily to (i) increased cost of sales of approximately $3.1 million due to increased sales in the Northeast and Midwest operations in the distribution business, as discussed above, (ii) an increase in salary expense of approximately $1.5 million in the route business associated with collection services and (iii) an increase in fuel costs of approximately $1.1 million primarily due to increased fuel prices. These increases in laundry operating expenses were offset by (i) a reduction in operating expenses as a result of the closing of California operations in the distribution business of approximately $2.6 million and (ii) decreased insurance costs related to general business insurance coverage of approximately $0.8 million. As a percentage of revenues, laundry operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, were approximately 68.3% for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to 68.9% for the 2004 Fiscal Year.
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.1 million or 1% for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2004 Fiscal Year. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to incremental administrative fees and expenses. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were approximately 1.6% for both the 2005 Fiscal Year and the 2004 Fiscal Year.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $3.9 million or 5% for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2004 Fiscal Year. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to depreciation expense relating to capital expenditures required by historical increases in our installed base of machines.
Amortization of advance location payments decreased by approximately $1.0 million or 5% for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2004 Fiscal Year. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in the amount of advance location payments made in the prior years.
Amortization of intangibles decreased by approximately $1.0 million or 7% for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2004 Fiscal Year. The decrease was primarily the result of the reduction of intangibles related to prior year acquisitions.
Other items, net, for the 2005 Fiscal Year of approximately $0.9 million primarily relates to additional expenses associated with the closing of California operations in the distribution business.
Other items, net, for the 2004 Fiscal Year of approximately $0.2 million primarily relates to certain costs associated with the consolidation of certain offices in the distribution business. This consolidation was the result of actions taken by us to reduce operating costs at Super Laundry including, among other things, the closing of distribution operations in Southern California, the reassignment of responsibilities among Super Laundrys remaining management team and the write-off of inventory due to obsolescence. Offsetting these costs were additional income recognized related to the sale, as described below, of approximately $1.7 million.
In October 2002, CLC contributed its ownership interest in Resident Data, Inc. (which we refer to as RDI) valued at approximately $2.7 million, to us. Subsequently, we sold its interest in RDI pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger between RDI and third parties for cash proceeds of approximately $6.6 million before estimated expenses directly related to such sale, resulting in a gain of approximately $3.3 million which was recorded in the 2003 Fiscal Year (which sale we refer to as the RDI sale). In connection with the RDI sale, and in addition to the cash proceeds received therefrom, the other sellers and us are entitled to their pro rata share (as determined by each sellers previous ownership percentage of RDI) of (i) $5.0 million placed in escrow by the purchaser, subject to, among other things, the satisfaction of certain working capital adjustments and customary indemnification obligations (which is referred to as the escrow fund), and (ii) approximately $1.8 million, subject to
-24-
the continued employment by RDI of certain members of its management (which is referred to as the contingent fund). The portion of such amounts to be paid to us was based on its previous ownership percentage of RDI, which was approximately 32%, and was scheduled to be paid in two installments in October 2003 and October 2004.
Amounts to be received from the escrow fund and the contingent fund were recorded as income upon the determination by us that it was likely to receive such amounts and such amounts were reasonably estimated. Despite its best determinations, however, there was no assurance that we would receive such amounts. In October 2003, we received approximately $0.7 million related to its share of the escrow fund and approximately $0.3 million related to its share of the contingent fund. Based on the receipt of this first installment and other positive indicators, we determined that the uncertainty surrounding the collectability of its portion of the escrow fund due in October 2004 of approximately $0.7 million no longer existed. Accordingly, we recorded income of approximately $1.7 million for the 2004 Fiscal year.
Operating income margins were approximately 9.4% for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to approximately 9.0% for the 2004 Fiscal Year. The slight increase in operating income margin was primarily due to a reduction in operating expenses as a result of the closing of California operations in the distribution business.
Transaction costs for the 2005 Fiscal Year of approximately $17.4 million represents (1) approximately $11.3 million redemption premium on the portion of the 9% Senior Notes due 2010 redeemed, (2) the write-off of the deferred financing costs relating to the 9% Senior Notes redeemed and term loans repaid aggregating approximately $3.5 million, (3) expenses relating to the Senior Secured Credit Facility amendment aggregating approximately $2.0 million and (4) special bonuses related to the IDS Transactions aggregating approximately $0.6 million.
Interest expense decreased by approximately $1.1 million or 2% for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2004 Fiscal Year. As part of the IDS Transactions, we redeemed $125.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 9% Senior Notes and approximately $15.5 million of outstanding term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The decrease in interest expense was offset by interest expense under an intercompany loan made by CSC to us as part of the IDS Transactions of approximately $81.7 million, accruing interest at an annual rate of 10.95%. The decrease in interest expense was also offset by an increase in variable interest rates payable under the Senior Secured Credit Facility resulting from a market increase in interest rates.
Interest expense-escrow interest for the 2005 Fiscal Year of approximately $0.9 million relates to interest expense on a portion of the 9% Senior Notes in aggregate principal amount of $125.5 million that were redeemed on December 24, 2004 with funds that were set aside in escrow on November 24, 2004.
The benefit for income taxes for the 2005 Fiscal Year was approximately $8.7 million as compared to a benefit for income taxes of approximately $3.5 million for the 2004 Fiscal Year. The change for the year is due to a tax benefit of approximately $6.0 million related to IDS transaction costs, a state tax benefit net of Federal taxes of approximately $0.8 million offset by tax expense of approximately $2.0 million related to an increase in operating income. The effective tax rate for the 2005 Fiscal Year was approximately 36% as compared to approximately 37% for the 2004 Fiscal Year.
Net loss was approximately $15.3 million for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to net loss of approximately $6.0 million for the 2004 Fiscal Year. The increase in net loss was primarily the result of the transaction costs, net of taxes, as discussed above. We have experienced net losses in each fiscal year since March 31, 2000. Such net losses are attributable in part to significant non cash charges associated with our acquisitions and the related amortization of contract rights accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. We incur significant depreciation and amortization expense relating to annual capital expenditures, which also reduces our net income.

(1) The computation of EBITDA for the 2005 Fiscal Year has not been adjusted to take into account IDS transaction costs aggregating approximately $17.4 million consisting of (1) approximately $11.3 million of redemption premium on the portion of the 9% Senior Notes redeemed in connection with the IDS Transactions, (2) the write-off of deferred financing costs relating to the 9% Senior Notes redeemed and term loans repaid in connection with the IDS Transactions aggregating approximately $3.5 million, (3) expenses relating to the Senior Secured Credit Facility amendment aggregating approximately $2.0 million and (4) special bonuses related to the IDS Transactions aggregating approximately $0.6 million.
EBITDA was approximately $143.5 million for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to approximately $156.4 million for the 2004 Fiscal Year. EBITDA margins declined to approximately 26.7% for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to approximately 29.4% for the 2004 Fiscal Year. The decrease in EBITDA and EBITDA margin is primarily attributable to certain transaction costs of approximately $17.4 million relating to the IDS Transactions.

Revenue decreased by approximately $4.1 million or less than 1% for the 2004 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2003 Fiscal Year.
Route revenue for the 2004 Fiscal Year decreased by approximately $1.9 million, or less than 1%, as compared to the prior year. We believe that the decline in route revenue for the 2004 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2003 Fiscal Year, was primarily the result of increased vacancies related to locations in certain regions as well as, to a lesser extent, a transfer of approximately 9,000 rental machines to AWA during the 2003 Fiscal Year. This decrease was slightly offset by an improvement in revenue from the timing of price changes and internal growth in machine count during the prior and current year. We believe that to the extent vacancy rates in certain of our operating regions, principally in the Southeast and Texas, increase in the future, route revenue in these regions may continue to decrease. Any such decrease, however, may be mitigated by our geographic diversity.
Rental revenue for the 2004 Fiscal Year increased by approximately $3.9 million, or 12%, over the 2003 Fiscal Year. The increase was primarily the result of the internal growth of the machine base in existing areas of
-26-
operations during the current and prior years, as well as, to a lesser extent, the transfer of approximately 9,000 rental machines from the route business to AWA during the 2004 Fiscal Year.
Distribution revenue for the 2004 Fiscal Year decreased by approximately $6.1 million, or 22%, as compared to the 2003 Fiscal Year. Sales from the distribution business unit are sensitive to general market economic conditions and as a result have experienced downward pressure. In addition, distribution revenue decreased due to the closing of distribution operations in California. Distribution revenue from our California operations was approximately $3.0 million and $6.6 million for the 2004 Fiscal Year and the 2003 Fiscal Year, respectively.
Laundry operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased by approximately $0.8 million, or less than 1%, for the 2004 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2003 Fiscal Year. This decrease in laundry operating expenses was due primarily to a reduction in cost of sales of approximately $5.7 million related to decreased revenue experienced in the distribution business, as discussed above, offset by increased insurance costs related to both medical and general business insurance coverage of approximately $1.6 million, costs associated with expansion into four new markets in the rental business of approximately $2.6 million and increased utility costs in our retail Laundromats of approximately $0.7 million. As a percentage of revenues, laundry operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, were approximately 68.9% the 2004 Fiscal Year and 68.5% for the 2003 Fiscal Year.
General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately 2% for the 2004 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2003 Fiscal Year. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a slight reduction in various costs and expenses related to administrative functions. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were approximately 1.6% for both the 2004 Fiscal Year and the 2003 Fiscal Year.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $5.4 million or 8% for the 2004 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2003 Fiscal Year. The increase was primarily due to depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to depreciation expense relating to capital expenditures required by historical increases in our installed base of machines.
Amortization of advance location payments decreased by approximately $0.6 million or 3% for the 2004 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2003 Fiscal Year. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in the amount of advance location payments made in the prior years.
Amortization of intangibles decreased by approximately $0.3 million or 2% for the 2004 Fiscal Year as compared to the 2003 Fiscal Year. This decrease was primarily the result of the reduction of intangibles relative to prior year acquisitions.
Other items, net, for the 2004 Fiscal Year is comprised of a gain of approximately $1.7 million. In October 2002, CLC contributed its ownership interest in RDI valued at approximately $2.7 million, to us. Subsequently, we sold our interest in RDI pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger between RDI and third parties for cash proceeds of approximately $6.6 million before estimated expenses directly related to such sale, resulting in a gain of approximately $3.3 million which was recorded in the 2003 Fiscal Year. In connection with the RDI sale, and in addition to the cash proceeds received therefrom, we and the other sellers are entitled to their pro rata share (as determined by each sellers previous ownership percentage of RDI) of (i) $5.0 million placed in escrow by the purchaser, subject to, among other things, the satisfaction of certain working capital adjustments and customary indemnification obligations (which is referred to as the escrow fund), and (ii) approximately $1.8 million, subject to the continued employment by RDI of certain members of its management (which is referred to as the contingent fund). The portion of such amounts to be paid to us is based on its previous ownership percentage of RDI, which was approximately 32%, and was scheduled to be paid in two installments in October 2003 and October 2004.
Amounts to be received from the escrow fund and the contingent fund are recorded as income upon the determination by us that we are likely to receive such amounts and such amounts can be reasonably estimated. In October 2003, we received approximately $0.7 million related to our share of the escrow fund and approximately $0.3 million related to our share of the contingent fund. Based on the receipt of this first installment and other
-27-
positive indicators, we determined that the uncertainty surrounding the collectability of our portion of the escrow fund due in October 2004 of approximately $0.7 million no longer existed. Accordingly, we recorded income of approximately $1.7 million for the 2004 Fiscal year.
Offsetting the additional income related to the RDI sale for the 2004 Fiscal Year was approximately $1.9 million of expenses related to consolidation of certain offices of Super Laundry. This consolidation was the result of actions taken by us to reduce operating costs at Super Laundry including, among other things, the closing of distribution operations in Southern California, the reassignment of responsibilities among Super Laundrys remaining management team and the write-off of inventory due to obsolescence.
Other items, net, for the 2003 Fiscal Year is comprised of a gain of approximately $3.3 million, as discussed above. Offsetting this gain was approximately $2.8 million of expenses related to (i) professional fees incurred in connection with the AWA Transactions, including the transfer of our Appliance Warehouse division to AWA and the formation of Holdings, (ii) organizational costs related to the formation of ALFC and (iii) expenses associated with the consolidation of offices of Super Laundry which was the result of actions taken by us to reduce operating costs in Super Laundry. These actions included, among other things, the closing of operations in California, New Jersey and Maryland, the reassignment of responsibilities among Super Laundrys remaining management team, the write-off of inventory due to obsolescence and the write-off of receivable balances, none of which were material individually, which we chose not to pursue.
Operating income margins were approximately 9.0% for the 2004 Fiscal Year, as compared to approximately 10.5% for the 2003 Fiscal Year. The decrease in operating income margin for the 2004 Fiscal Year was primarily due to the decreased revenue, net of cost of sales, in the distribution business as well as the increase in depreciation and amortization expenses, as discussed above.
Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.8 million or 1% for the 2004 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2003 Fiscal Year. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to decreased borrowing levels under the Senior Secured Credit Facility during the 2003 Fiscal Year, a decrease in variable interest rates payable under such facility resulting from a market decline in interest rates, offset by an increase in interest expense resulting from the interest rate swap agreements entered into by us in September 2002 that are at a slightly higher fixed rate compared to variable rates.
The benefit for income taxes for the 2004 Fiscal Year was approximately $3.5 million as compared to a provision for income taxes of approximately $0.5 million for the 2003 Fiscal Year. The change for the fiscal year is due to pretax loss of approximately $9.6 million for the 2004 Fiscal Year as compared to a pretax loss of approximately $1.8 million for the 2003 Fiscal Year. The effective tax rate for the 2004 Fiscal Year was 37% as compared to 26% for the 2003 Fiscal Year.
Net loss was approximately $6.0 million for the 2004 Fiscal Year, as compared to approximately $2.3 million for the 2003 Fiscal Year. The increase in net loss was primarily the result of decreased revenues and increase in depreciation expense, as discussed above. We have experienced net losses in each fiscal year since March 31, 2000. Such net losses are attributable in part to significant non-cash charges associated with our acquisitions and the related amortization of contract rights accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. We incur significant depreciation and amortization expense relating to annual capital expenditures, which also reduces our net income.

Our liquidity requirements will primarily consist of (i) interest payments on our 9% Senior Notes, (ii) interest payments on our borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, (iii) interest payments on the Intercompany Note held by CSC (iv) dividend payments on our common stock in order to service payments owed by CSC under the 11% Senior Secured Notes and, if and when declared by the board of directors of CSC, dividends on its common stock, and (v) capital expenditures and other working capital requirements.
We have substantial indebtedness and debt service requirements. At March 31, 2005, on a consolidated basis, we had outstanding total debt to third parties of approximately $572.3 million, which included (i) $324.5 million aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes and (ii) approximately $240.5 million of term loan borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. We also had approximately $81.7 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Intercompany Loan. Letters of credit under the Senior Secured Credit Facility outstanding at March 31, 2005 were approximately $6.4 million. The 9% Senior Notes are scheduled to mature on February 1, 2010. The term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are scheduled to be fully repaid by July 25, 2009. As of March 31, 2005, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolver portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which is scheduled to expire on January 25, 2008. The Intercompany Loan is scheduled to mature on December 1, 2024.
Our stockholders equity was approximately $99.7 million as of March 31, 2005.
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities and selected borrowings available under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $56.8 million and available borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility of approximately $68.6 million.
As we have focused on increasing our cash flow from operating activities, we have made significant capital investments, primarily consisting of capital expenditures related to acquisitions, renewals and growth. We anticipate that we will continue to utilize cash flows from operations to finance our capital expenditures and working capital needs, including interest and principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness, and, in certain circumstances, to pay dividends on our common stock.
CSC intends to use dividend payments, if any, on our common stock and payments under the Intercompany Loan to service interest payments on the 11% Senior Secured Notes and dividend payments, if any, on its common stock. Under the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes, if at any time we are not prohibited from doing so under the terms of our then outstanding debt, we are required to guarantee the 11% Senior Secured Notes.

Financing Activities
We have from time to time used external financings to meet cash needs for operating expenses, the payment of interest, retirement of debt and acquisitions and capital expenditures. We may use external financings in the future to refinance or fund the retirement of our and our subsidiaries existing indebtedness. The timing and amount of external financings depend primarily upon economic and financial market conditions, our consolidated cash needs and our future capital structure objectives, as well as contractual limitations on additional financings. Additionally, the availability and cost of external financings will depend upon the financial condition of the entities seeking those funds.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
On January 25, 2002, we entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which was comprised of: (i) $280 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans and (ii) a revolving credit facility with a maximum borrowing limit of $75 million. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also provides for up to $10 million of letter of credit financings and short-term borrowings under a swing line facility of up to $7.5 million. The Senior Secured Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in all of our real and personal property and is guaranteed by each of our domestic subsidiaries. The interest rate is based on a monthly variable Eurodollar rate plus 2.75 %. At March 31, 2005, the monthly variable Eurodollar rate was 2.90%. As a condition to the consummation of the IDS Transactions, we entered into an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility on November 15, 2004, among other things, to permit the IDS Transactions.
We used a portion of the proceeds from CSCs initial public offering to repay approximately $15.5 million of outstanding term loans. As of March 31, 2005, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the term loans was approximately $240.5 million. The term loans are scheduled to be fully repaid by July 25, 2009. As of March 31, 2005, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolver portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which is scheduled to expire on January 25, 2008. Letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility at March 31, 2005 were approximately $6.4 million.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements, including covenants with respect to limitations on (i) indebtedness; (ii) certain payments (in the form of the declaration or payment of certain dividends or distributions on our capital stock or our subsidiaries or the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any of our capital stock or our subsidiaries); (iii) voluntary prepayments of previously existing indebtedness; (iv) Investments (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility); (v) transactions with affiliates; (vi) liens; (vii) sales or purchases of assets; (viii) conduct of business; (ix) dividends and other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; (x) consolidations and mergers; (xi) capital expenditures; (xii) issuances of certain of our equity securities; and (xiii) creation of subsidiaries. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also requires that we satisfy certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires us to make an annual mandatory repayment of principal on the outstanding balance of term loans based on 50% of the excess cash flow, as defined. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, the amount required to be repaid was approximately $12.0 million on or prior to July 5, 2005.
On September 23, 2002, we entered into three separate interest rate swap agreements totaling $150 million in aggregate notional amount that effectively convert a portion of our floating-rate term loans pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facility to a fixed rate basis, thereby reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The three swap agreements consist of: (i) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.91% and expiring on February 1, 2006, (ii) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.91% and expiring on February 1, 2006 and (iii) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.90% and expiring on February 1, 2006. These interest rate swaps used to hedge the variability of forecasted cash flows attributable to interest rate risk were designated as cash flow hedges. We recognized accumulated other comprehensive income of
-30-
approximately $2.5 million, net of tax, in the stockholders equity section for the 2005 Fiscal Year relating to the interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges.
At March 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
9% Senior Notes
On January 25, 2002, we issued $450 million of 9% Senior Notes. Interest on the 9% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1. The 9% Senior Notes, which are to mature on February 1, 2010, are unsecured senior obligations of ours and are redeemable, at our option, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, on or after February 1, 2006, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice, at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture agreement, dated January 25, 2002, by and between Coinmach and U.S. Bank, N.A. as Trustee, governing the 9% Senior Notes plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of redemption. The 9% Senior Notes contain certain financial covenants and restrict the payment of certain dividends, distributions or other payments from us to CLC. The 9% Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured senior basis by our domestic subsidiaries.
On December 24, 2004, we used a portion of the proceeds from CSCs initial public offering to redeem a portion of the 9% Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $125.5 million (plus approximately $4.5 million of accrued interest and approximately $11.3 million of related redemption premium). At March 31, 2005, there was $324.5 million aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes outstanding.
The indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements applicable to us and our subsidiaries, including covenants with respect to the following matters: (i) limitation on additional indebtedness; (ii) limitation on certain payments (in the form of the declaration or payment of certain dividends or distributions on our capital stock, the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any of our capital stock, the voluntary prepayment of subordinated indebtedness, or an Investment (as defined in the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes) in any other person or entity); (iii) limitation on transactions with affiliates; (iv) limitation on liens; (v) limitation on sales of assets; (vi) limitation on the issuance of preferred stock by non-guarantor subsidiaries; (vii) limitation on conduct of business; (viii) limitation on dividends and other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; and (ix) limitation on consolidations, mergers and sales of substantially all of our assets.
At March 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes.
The Intercompany Loan
Pursuant to the IDS Transactions, CSC made the Intercompany Loan of approximately $81.7 million to us, which loan is evidenced by the Intercompany Note. Interest under the Intercompany Loan accrues at an annual rate of 10.95% and is payable quarterly on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year and is due and payable in full on December 1, 2024. The Intercompany Loan is our senior unsecured obligation, ranks equally in right of payment with all our existing and future senior indebtedness (including indebtedness under the 9% Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facility) and ranks senior in right of payment to all our existing and future subordinated indebtedness. Certain of our domestic restricted subsidiaries guarantee the Intercompany Loan on a senior unsecured basis.
The Intercompany Loan contains covenants (other than a covenant providing for the delivery of reports to holders) that are substantially the same as those provided in the terms of the 9% Senior Notes (as such covenants may be modified in the future pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes) provided, however, that on the redemption or repayment in full of the 9% Senior Notes, the covenants contained in the Intercompany Loan will become substantially the same as those provided in the terms of such other indebtedness that refinances or replaces the 9% Senior Notes or, in the absence thereof, the terms of the 11% Senior Secured Notes. The Intercompany Loan and the Intercompany Loan guaranty were pledged by CSC to secure the repayment of the 11% Senior Secured Notes outstanding.
-31-
If at any time we are not prohibited from doing so under the terms of our then outstanding indebtedness, in the event that CSC undertakes an offering of IDSs or Class A common stock, a portion of the net proceeds of such offering, subject to certain limitations, will be loaned to us and increase the principal amount of the Intercompany Loan and the Intercompany Loan guaranty.
If we merged with or into CSC, the Intercompany Loan would be terminated and we, as a constituent corporation of the merged companies, would become responsible for the payment obligations relating to the 11% Senior Secured Notes.
If an event of default under the Intercompany Loan occurs and is continuing, the Intercompany Loan holder will have the right to declare all obligations under the Intercompany Loan immediately due and payable; provided that if we shall become the subject of an insolvency, bankruptcy or cross-acceleration event of default, all of the obligations under the Intercompany Loan and the guarantees in respect thereof shall become immediately and automatically due and payable without any action or notice. Any waiver of a default or an event of default under the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes that causes a default or an event of default under the Intercompany Loan shall also be a waiver of such default or event of default under the Intercompany Loan without further action or notice.
At March 31, 2005, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Intercompany Loan.
Operating and Investing Activities
We use cash from operating activities to maintain and expand our business. As we have focused on increasing our cash flow from operating activities, we have made significant capital investments, primarily consisting of capital expenditures related to acquisitions, renewals and growth. We anticipate that we will continue to utilize cash flows from operations to finance our capital expenditures and working capital needs.
Capital expenditures (net of proceeds from the sale of equipment and investments) for the 2005 Fiscal Year were approximately $70.3 million (excluding approximately $0.6 million relating to acquisition capital expenditures). The primary components of our capital expenditures are (i) machine expenditures, (ii) advance location payments, and (iii) laundry room improvements. Additionally, capital expenditures for the 2005 fiscal Year included approximately $2.2 million attributable to technology upgrades. The full impact on revenues and cash flow generated from capital expended on the net increase in the installed base of machines is not expected to be reflected in our financial results until subsequent reporting periods, depending on certain factors, including the timing of the capital expended. While we estimate that we will generate sufficient cash flows from operations to finance anticipated capital expenditures, there can be no assurances that we will be able to do so.
The following table sets forth our capital expenditures (excluding payments for business acquisitions) for the years indicated:

Management of our working capital, including timing of collections and payments and levels of inventory, affects operating results indirectly. However, our working capital requirements are, and are expected to continue to
-32-
be, minimal since a significant portion of our operating expenses are commission payments based on a percentage of collections, and are not paid until after cash is collected from the installed machines.

(1) | As of March 31, 2005, approximately $240.5 million of our long-term debt outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility term loans was subject to variable rates of interest. Interest expense on these variable rate borrowings for future years was calculated using a weighted average interest rate of 5.65% based on the Eurodollar rate in effect at March 31, 2005. In addition, at March 31, 2005, $324.5 million of our long-term debt outstanding was subject to a fixed interest rate of 9.0% and approximately $136.1 million of our long-term debt outstanding was subject to a fixed interest rate of 11.0%. In addition, in connection with the Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are a party to three separate interest rate swap agreements totaling $150.0 million which expire on February 1, 2006. Such agreements effectively convert $150.0 million principal amount of floating rate term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility to a fixed interest rate of 5.66% | |
(2) | Includes both principal and interest. | |
(3) | The Intercompany Loan is subject to a fixed interest rate of 10.95%. |
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2005, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Future Capital Needs and Resources
Our near-term cash requirements are primarily related to payment of interest on our existing indebtedness, capital expenditures, working capital and dividend payments on our common stock in order to service payments owed by CSC on the 11% Senior Secured Notes and, if and when declared by the board of directors of CSC, dividend payments on its common stock. Substantially all of our long-term debt is scheduled to mature on or after July 25, 2009, the date on which the remaining balances under the Senior Secured Credit Facilitys term loans become due. However, our level of indebtedness will have several important effects on our future operations including, but not limited to, the following: (i) a significant portion of our cash flow from operations will be required to pay interest on our indebtedness and the indebtedness of our subsidiaries, (ii) the financial covenants contained in certain of the agreements governing such indebtedness will require us and/or our subsidiaries to meet certain financial tests and may limit our respective abilities to borrow additional funds, (iii) our ability to obtain additional
-33-
financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes may be impaired and (iv) our ability to adapt to changes in the laundry equipment services industry could be limited.
The most significant factors affecting our near-term cash flow requirements are our ability to generate cash from operations, which is dependent on our ability to attract new and retain existing customers, and our ability to satisfy our debt service and capital expenditures requirements. Considering our anticipated level of capital expenditures, our scheduled interest payments, existing contractual obligations, our anticipated dividend payments on our capital stock and subject to the factors described below, we estimate that over the next twelve months cash flow from operations, along with available cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund our operating needs, to service our outstanding indebtedness under the 9% Senior Notes, the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Intercompany Note, and to pay dividends anticipated to be declared by our board of directors.
Other factors, including but not limited to any significant acquisition transactions, the pursuit of any significant new business opportunities, potential material increases in the cost of compliance with regulatory mandates (including state laws imposing heightened energy and water efficiency standards on clothes washers), tax treatment of our debt, unforeseen reductions in occupancy levels, changes in our competitive environment, or unexpected costs associated with lease renewals, may affect our ability to fund our liquidity needs in the future.
Arizona, California, Connecticut, New Jersey and Maryland have adopted state laws imposing heightened energy and water efficiency standards on commercial clothes washers, and other states are considering similar laws. While such laws are not scheduled to go in effect until 2007 or 2008, implementing machines compliant with such laws could result in increased capital costs (including material and equipment costs), labor and installation costs, and in some cases, operation and maintenance costs. Other states in which we operate may adopt similar laws, which would increase our costs associated with compliance.
We continuously monitor our debt position and coordinate our capital expenditure program with expected cash flows and projected interest and dividend payments. However, our actual cash requirements may exceed our current expectations. In the event cash flow is lower than anticipated, we expect to either: (i) reduce capital expenditures, (ii) supplement cash flow from operations with borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, or (iii) evaluate other cost-effective funding alternatives. We expect that substantially all of the cash generated by our business in excess of operating needs, debt service obligations and reserves will be distributed to the holders of our common stock. As a result, we may not retain a sufficient amount of cash to finance growth opportunities or unanticipated capital expenditure needs or to fund our operations in the event of a significant business downturn. In addition, we may have to forego growth opportunities or capital expenditures that would otherwise be necessary or desirable if we do not find alternative sources of financing. If sources of liquidity are not available or if we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations, we might also be required to reduce or eliminate dividends to the extent previously paid or obtain additional sources of funds through capital market transactions, reducing or delaying capital expenditures, refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness, asset sales or financing from third parties, or a combination thereof. Additional sources of funds may not be available or allowed under the terms of our outstanding indebtedness or that of our subsidiaries or, if available, may not have commercially reasonable terms.
Certain Accounting Treatment
Our depreciation and amortization expense, amortization of advance location payments and amortization of intangibles which aggregated approximately $110.4 million for the 2005 Fiscal Year and approximately $108.6 million for the 2004 Fiscal Year reduces our net income, but not our cash flow from operations. In accordance with GAAP, a significant amount of the purchase price representing the value of location contracts arising from businesses acquired by us is allocated to contract rights. Management evaluates the realizability of contract rights balances (if there are indicators of impairment) based upon our forecasted undiscounted cash flows and operating income. Based upon present operations and strategic plans, we believe that no impairment of contract rights has occurred.
-34-
Inflation and Seasonality
In general, our laundry operating expenses and general and administrative expenses are affected by inflation and the effects of inflation that may be experienced by us in future periods. We believe that such effects will not be material. Our business generally is not seasonal.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our principal exposure to market risk relates to changes in interest rates on our long term borrowings. Our operating results and cash flow would be adversely affected by an increase in interest rates. As of March 31, 2005, we had approximately $90.5 million outstanding relating to our variable rate debt portfolio.
Our future earnings, cash flow and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market rates. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. If market rates of interest on our variable interest rate debt increased by 2.0% (or 200 basis points), our annual interest expense on such variable interest rate debt would increase by approximately $1.8 million, assuming the total amount of variable interest rate debt outstanding was $90.5 million, the balance as of March 31, 2005.
We enter into interest rate swap agreements from time to time to mitigate our exposure to adverse interest rate fluctuations. On September 23, 2002, we entered into three separate interest rate swap agreements totaling $150 million in aggregate notional amount that effectively converts a portion of its floating-rate term loans pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facility to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest-rate changes on future interest expense. The three swap agreements consist of: (i) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.91% and expiring on February 1, 2006, (ii) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.91% and expiring on February 1, 2006 and (iii) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.90% and expiring on February 1, 2006. These interest rate swaps used to hedge the variability of forecasted cash flows attributable to interest rate risk were designated as cash flow hedges.
Our fixed debt instruments are not generally affected by a change in the market rates of interest, and therefore, such instruments generally do not have an impact on future earnings. However, as fixed rate debt matures, future earnings and cash flows may be impacted by changes in interest rates related to debt acquired to fund repayments under maturing facilities.
We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes and are not exposed to foreign currency

Audit Committee
We are not a listed company under the rules and regulations of the SEC and therefore are not required to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors. In connection with the IDS Transactions, we reconstituted our audit committee in order that its members be the same as those on the audit committee of the CSC board of directors. Currently, each such audit committee is composed of Messrs. Scheessele, Donnini and McGee. Messrs. Scheessele and McGee have been affirmatively determined by the CSC board of directors to be independent, as such term is used under the corporate governance and listing standards of the American Stock Exchange (the AMEX Listing Rules), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 10A(m)(3) of the Exchange Act. The CSC board of directors has also determined that all members of our audit committee are financially literate and that Mr. Scheessele is financially sophisticated, as each of such qualifications were interpreted by the CSC board of directors in accordance with the AMEX Listing Rules. Mr. Scheessele is the chairperson of our audit committee.
Executive Officers
Our executive officers are listed on the table below which is followed by descriptions of all positions and offices held by such persons with us, CSC, CLC and Holdings and the periods during which they have served as such and other information. The term of office of each executive officer continues until the election of executive officers to be held at the next annual meeting of directors or until his successor has been elected. There is no family relationship between any executive officer and any other executive officer or director of us, our subsidiaries, CSC, CLC or Holdings.

Employment Agreements
Employment Agreements of Stephen R. Kerrigan, Mitchell Blatt and Robert M. Doyle. On March 6, 2003, Coinmach, Holdings and each of Stephen R. Kerrigan (and MCS Capital, Inc., or MCS, an entity controlled by Mr. Kerrigan), Mitchell Blatt and Robert M. Doyle (each of whom we refer to as a senior manager), entered into Senior Management Agreements (which we collectively refer to as the senior management agreements). The senior management agreements provide for the annual base salaries for each of Messrs. Kerrigan, Blatt and Doyle, respectively, to be reviewed annually by the Holdings board of managers. As of March 31, 2005, the annual base salaries of Messrs. Kerrigan, Blatt, and Doyle were $446,250, $352,753 and $332,500, respectively. The Holdings board of managers, in its sole discretion, may grant each senior manager an annual bonus. In addition, in the event of certain qualified sales of equity securities or assets of Holdings each senior manager will be entitled to a bonus equal to 2.0 times his annual base salary at the time of such sale, plus the amount of the bonus paid in the most recently completed fiscal year. Each senior managers employment is terminable at the will of such senior manager or at the discretion of the Holdings board of managers. Under certain circumstances, the senior managers are entitled to severance pay upon termination of their employment. If employment is terminated by the Holdings board of managers without Cause (as defined in the senior management agreements) or by a senior manager for Good Reason (as defined in the senior management agreements) and not by reason of such senior managers death or disability, and no Event of Default (as defined in the senior management agreements) has occurred under any bank credit facility or other facility to which Coinmach is a party, senior managers are entitled to receive severance pay in an amount equal to 2.0 times their respective annual base salaries then in effect, payable in 18 equal monthly installments. If employment is terminated as described above by the Holdings board of managers and an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under any bank credit facility or other facility to which Coinmach is a party, senior managers are entitled to receive severance pay in an amount equal to their respective annual base salaries then in effect, payable in 12 equal monthly installments. For a period of one year after termination of his employment, a senior manager is subject to both non-competition and non-solicitation provisions. Senior managers are entitled to require Holdings to repurchase the units of Holdings owned by them upon the occurrence of certain events, including the termination of such senior manager without Cause (as defined in the applicable senior management agreement), the termination by the senior manager for Good Reason (as defined in the applicable senior
-42-
management agreement), and certain qualified sales of the equity securities or assets of Holdings. In the event a senior manager violates the non-competition clause of his senior management agreement or is terminated for any reason, the units of Holdings owned by such senior manager will be subject to repurchase by Holdings and certain other members of Holdings. The units of Holdings owned by the senior managers are subject to customary co-sale rights and rights of first refusal.
In connection with the IDS Transactions, each of the employment agreements with Mr. Kerrigan and Mr. Doyle were amended and restated to incorporate their employment as Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer of CSC (in the case of Mr. Kerrigan) and as Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer of CSC (in the case of Mr. Doyle) (in addition to the positions with Coinmach currently described therein). Furthermore, provisions of such employment agreements designating authority or discretion to the Holdings board of managers, including review of annual salaries, granting of an annual bonus, or ability to terminate such employees, were amended to transfer such authority or discretion to the CSC board of directors. CSC was also included as an obligor with respect to certain payment obligations, including those relating to the repurchase of such employees equity interests, salary and bonus payments, and severance payments. Annual salaries and bonuses for such employees determined in accordance with such agreements represent compensation for employment services provided to both CSC and Coinmach. The agreements generally provide that, if either employee is terminated by both CSC and Coinmach and either such termination would trigger a severance payment provision, then such employee would only be entitled to one severance payment.
Employment Agreement of Ramon Norniella. Coinmach entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Norniella, dated as of December 17, 2000, which has a term of one year and is automatically renewable each year for successive one year terms. Such agreement provides for his annual base salary to be reviewed annually by the Coinmach board of directors (which we refer to as the Coinmach Board). As of March 31, 2005, Mr. Norniellas annual base salary was $160,000. The Coinmach Board may, in its discretion, grant Mr. Norniella a performance based annual bonus. The agreement is terminable at the will of Mr. Norniella or at the discretion of the Coinmach Board. Under the terms of such employment agreement, Mr. Norniella is entitled to receive severance pay upon termination of employment by Coinmach without Cause (as defined in such agreement) in an amount equal to his annual base salary then in effect. For a period of two years after termination of his employment, Mr. Norniella is subject to both non-competition and non-solicitation provisions.
Employment Agreement of Michael E. Stanky. On July 1, 1995, Solon (as predecessor-in-interest to Coinmach) entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Stanky, which is reviewed annually by the Coinmach Board. As of March 31, 2005, Mr. Stankys annual base salary was $202,800. Mr. Stankys employment is terminable at his will or at the discretion of the Coinmach Board. The Chief Executive Officer of Coinmach, in his sole discretion, may grant Mr. Stanky an annual bonus. If employment is terminated by the Coinmach Board without Cause (as defined in such agreement) and (i) no Event of Default (as defined in such agreement) has occurred and is continuing, Mr. Stanky is entitled to receive severance pay in an amount equal to 1.5 times his annual base salary then in effect, or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Mr. Stanky will be entitled to receive severance pay in an amount equal to 1.0 times his annual base salary then in effect, in each case payable in 12 equal monthly installments. If Mr. Stanky terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined in such agreement), he will be entitled to an amount equal to one half of the severance pay described in the immediately preceding sentence, depending on whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, payable over nine or six months, respectively. For a period of one year after termination of his employment, Mr. Stanky is subject to both non-competition and non-solicitation provisions.
Report on Executive Compensation
Our board of directors or the CSC board of directors, as appropriate, determines the total form and amount of compensation for our executive officers. Executive compensation is based on a performance and rewards compensation system consisting of base salaries and incentives (annual and long-term) that compensate executives for the achievement of levels of performance. Our executive compensation policies are intended to enable us to hire, retain and motivate high-quality executives who meet the immediate business challenges and improve our performance and are designed to pay base salaries and provide total compensation opportunities which reward each executive for contributions to our successes.
-43-
While our board of directors may rely upon quantitative measures or other measurable objective criteria, such as earnings or other indicia of financial performance, in reaching total compensation determinations, our board of directors evaluates executive performance and reaches compensation decisions based upon a subjective and careful analysis of each executives specific contributions us as well as the recommendations of our chief executive officer. With respect to the determination of total compensation of the chief executive officer, significant factors taken into account by our board of directors include individual performance and contribution to us, effectiveness of leadership, and our significant strategic accomplishments and achievement of annual business goals.
In determining the base salaries of executive officers, our board of directors takes into consideration the level of responsibility and experience of each executive officer and the knowledge and skill required. Executive performance is evaluated and any base salary adjustment is based on an evaluation of the individuals performance and contribution. Each year, the chief executive officer makes recommendations with respect to salary adjustments for all executive officers, which recommendations are reviewed, modified where appropriate and approved or rejected by our board of directors. During the 2005 Fiscal Year, our board of directors approved annual base salaries for each of Messrs. Kerrigan, Blatt, Doyle, Stanky and Norniella of $446,250, $352,753, $332,500, $202,800 and $160,000, respectively.
In addition to base salaries, our board of directors grants bonuses to executive officers in recognition of their efforts to position us to achieve future growth. After reviewing individual performances, the chief executive officer makes recommendations with respect to bonuses and other incentive awards, which recommendations are reviewed and, to the extent determined appropriate, approved by our board of directors.
From time to time, we enter into employment contracts or other compensation arrangements with our executive officers. Currently, we have employment agreements with Messrs. Kerrigan, Blatt, Doyle, Stanky and Norniella and certain other key employees. The terms of the agreements with the executive officers are summarized in Employment Agreements.
In connection with the IDS Transactions, the CSC board of directors formed a compensation committee composed of Messrs. Scheessele, Donnini and Chapman. All future compensation determinations with respect to our executive officers will be made by the compensation committee of the board of directors of CSC.

401(k) Savings Plan
Coinmach offers a 401(k) savings plan to all current eligible employees who have completed three months of service. Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees may defer from 2% up to 25% of their salaries up to a maximum level imposed by applicable federal law ($13,000 in 2004 and $14,000 in 2005). The percentage of compensation contributed to the plan is deducted from each eligible employees salary and considered tax deferred savings under applicable federal income tax law. Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, Coinmach contributes matching contribution amounts (subject to the Internal Revenue Code limitation on compensation taken into account for such purpose) of 25% contributed to the 401(k) Plan by the respective eligible employee up to the first 6% of the amount contributed by such employee. Eligible employees become vested with respect to matching contributions made by Coinmach pursuant to a vesting schedule based upon an eligible employees years of service. After two years of service, an eligible employee is 20% vested in all matching contributions made to the 401(k) Plan. Such employee becomes vested in equal increments thereafter through the sixth year of service, at which time such employee becomes 100% vested. Eligible participants are always 100% vested in their own contributions, including investment earnings on such amounts.
Coinmach made matching contributions during the 2005 Fiscal Year to Messrs. Kerrigan, Blatt, Doyle , Norniella and Stanky of $2,157, $2,157, $2,220, $2,016 and $2,559, respectively.

Equity-Based Incentive Plans
In connection with the IDS Transactions, CSC adopted the Coinmach Service Corp. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the 2004 LTIP, and the Coinmach Service Corp. 2004 Unit Incentive Sub-Plan, which we refer to as the 2004 Sub-Plan.
The purpose of the 2004 LTIP is to (i) attract and retain qualified individuals, (ii) motivate participants, by means of appropriate incentives, to achieve long-range goals, (iii) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of other similar companies and (iv) further align participants interests with those of CSCs other investors through compensation that is based on CSCs corporate performance, thereby promoting CSCs long-term financial interest, including the growth in value of CSCs equity and enhancement of long-term investor return. To achieve these objectives, the 2004 LTIP provides for the grant of non-qualified options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights (which we refer to as an SAR), full value awards and cash incentive awards.
Any IDS-based awards or benefits provided under the 2004 Sub-Plan will be made pursuant to the 2004 LTIP. The compensation committee of CSCs board of directors (the Compensation Committee) will make awards under the 2004 Sub-Plan to selected eligible individuals. It is unknown at this time if, and to what extent, the Compensation Committee may make awards under either the 2004 LTIP or the 2004 Sub-Plan.
The 2004 LTIP
The Compensation Committee will select the individuals who will receive awards from among the eligible participants, and determine the form of those awards, the number of shares of stock or IDSs or dollar targets of the awards and all of the applicable terms and conditions of the awards. The Compensation Committee will approve and certify the level of attainment of any performance targets established in connection with awards under the plan as may be required under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the Code).
Forms of Awards
Under the 2004 LTIP, the Compensation Committee may grant incentive stock options, which meet the criteria of Section 422 of the Code, and nonqualified options, which are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options, that will be settled in common stock or IDSs. The Compensation Committee may also grant SARs, either in tandem with options or on a stand alone basis. The Compensation Committee may also grant restricted shares (or IDSs) and other cash and security-based awards under the 2004 LTIP. Awards may be settled at the time of grant or vesting, or may be deferred as unit-based rights to be settled at a specified date in the future.
Maximum Award Levels
As of March 31, 2005 the board of directors of CSC had authorized up to 2,836,729 shares for issuance under the 2004 LTIP. CSCs Class A common stock and IDSs are referred to in the 2004 LTIP interchangeably as shares. The maximum number of shares available for awards under the 2004 LTIP is 6,583,796 shares, equal to 15% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of CSCs Class A common stock and Class B common stock immediately following consummation of the IDS Transactions (such aggregate number being referred to as the Aggregate CSC Shares Outstanding). To the extent any shares covered by an award are not delivered to a participant or beneficiary because the award is forfeited or canceled, or the shares are not delivered because the award is settled in cash or used to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation, such shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares available for delivery under the plans. For purposes of the foregoing, restricted share awards shall not be deemed to have been delivered if they are forfeited or cancelled.
The maximum number of shares that may be covered by awards granted to any one individual under the 2004 LTIP as an option or a SAR during any calendar year is 658,379, equal to 1.5% of the Aggregate CSC Shares Outstanding. For awards that are intended to be performance-based compensation (as that term is used for purposes of Code section 162(m)), no more than 1.5% of the Aggregate CSC Shares Outstanding may be subject to such awards granted to any one individual during any one calendar-year period. For cash incentive awards, that are
-45-
intended to be performance-based compensation, no more than $100,000 may be payable with respect to such awards to any one individual for each month in the applicable performance period.
Eligibility
All employees and directors, as well as consultants and other persons providing services to CSC, are eligible to become participants in the 2004 LTIP, except that non-employees may not be granted incentive stock options. The specific individuals who initially will be granted awards under the 2004 LTIP and the type and amount of any such awards will be determined by the Compensation Committee.
Option Awards
Options awarded may be either incentive stock options or nonqualified options. Options will expire no later than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The per share exercise price of incentive stock options may not be less than the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. The Compensation Committee may establish vesting or performance requirements which must be met prior to the exercise of the options. Options under the 2004 LTIP may be granted in tandem with SARs. The Compensation Committee shall have the discretion to grant options with dividend equivalent rights.
Stock Appreciation Rights
An SAR entitles the participant to receive the amount, in cash or shares, by which the fair market value of a specified number of shares on the exercise date exceeds an exercise price established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may grant an SAR independent of any option grant and may grant and option and SAR in tandem with each other, and SARs and options granted in tandem may be granted on different dates but may have the same exercise price. An SAR shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may impose such conditions, restrictions, and contingencies on shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an SAR as the Compensation Committee determines to be desirable. In no event will an SAR expire more than ten years after the grant date.
Full Value Awards
A full value award is a grant of one or more shares or a right to receive one or more shares in the future, with such shares subject to one or more of the following, as determined by the Compensation Committee:
| the grant may be in return for previously performed services, or in return for the participant surrendering other compensation that may be due; | |||
| the grant may be contingent on the achievement of performance or other objectives during a specified period; and | |||
| the grant may be subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that lapse upon the achievement of one or more goals relating to completion of service by the participant, or the achievement of performance or other objectives. |
Performance-Based Awards
The Compensation Committee may also grant performance-based awards under the 2004 LTIP. A performance award is a grant of a right to receive shares or share units which is contingent on the achievement of performance or other objectives during a specified performance period. A performance award can be a grant of a right to receive a designated dollar value amount of shares, cash or combination thereof, which is contingent on the achievement of performance or other objectives during a specified period.
Section 162(m) of the Code requires that performance awards be based upon objective performance measures in order to be deductible if they and other compensation paid to an executive officer in any year are in excess of $1 million. The Compensation Committee may designate whether any such award being granted to any participant is intended to be performance-based compensation as that term is used in section 162(m) of the Code.
-46-
Any such awards designated as intended to be performance-based compensation shall be conditioned on the achievement of one or more performance measures, to the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code. The performance measures that may be used by the Compensation Committee for such awards shall be based on any one or more of the following, as selected by the Compensation Committee:
| Earnings, including operating income or net income, earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or earnings per share; | |||
| Financial return ratios, including return on investment, invested capital, equity or assets; | |||
| Increases in revenue, operating or net cash flows, cash flow return on investment or net operating income; | |||
| Market share; debt load reduction, expense management or economic value added; | |||
| Total stockholder return, stock price, distributions per share or aggregate distributions; and | |||
| Strategic business objectives, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specific cost targets, business expansion goals and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures. |
Performance measures may be based on the performance of CSC as a whole or any of its business units, and may be expressed as relative to the comparable measures at comparison companies or a defined index. Partial achievement of the performance targets may result in a payment or vesting based upon the degree of achievement. In establishing any performance targets, the Compensation Committee may include or exclude special items as identified in CSCs quarterly or annual earnings releases.
Adjustments
In the event of a corporate transaction involving CSC (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the Compensation Committee may adjust outstanding awards to preserve the benefits or potential benefits of the awards. The adjustments, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, may include: (i) adjustment of the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under the plans, (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards, (iii) adjustment of the exercise price of outstanding options and SARs, and (iv) any other adjustments that the committee determines to be equitable.
Change in Control
Generally, upon a change in control of CSC (as defined in the 2004 LTIP), all outstanding options and SARs will become fully exercisable and all full value awards (such as share units, restricted shares, restricted share units), will become fully vested; provided, however, that if the vesting was based upon the level of performance achieved, such awards shall be fully earned and vested (and all performance measures deemed to be achieved).
Amendment and Termination
With certain exceptions and subject to applicable law, CSCs board of directors may, at any time, amend or terminate the 2004 LTIP, and any sub-plan or program thereunder, and may amend any award agreement, provided, that no amendment or termination may, in the absence of written consent to the change by the affected participant (or, if the participant is not then living, the affected beneficiary), adversely affect the rights of any participant or beneficiary under any award granted under the plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by CSC board of directors.
2004 Sub-Plan
Executive officers and other senior employees to be identified by the Compensation Committee will be eligible to participate in the 2004 Sub-Plan. The purpose of the 2004 Sub-Plan will be to strengthen the mutuality of interests between the 2004 Sub-Plan participants and holders of IDSs. Any benefits provided pursuant to the 2004 Sub-Plan shall be provided under the 2004 LTIP. The 2004 Sub-Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee, which shall have the power to, among other things, determine (1) those individuals who will participate in the 2004 Sub-Plan, (2) the level of participation of each participant, (3) the conditions, if any, that must be satisfied in order for the participants to receive benefits under the plan (including establishing specified performance targets that must be achieved in order for the pool to be created and amounts to be allocated to the participants), (4)
-47-
the method and timing of any payment under the plan, and (5) the right to modify or replace performance measures for any performance period. Under the 2004 Sub-Plan, no more than $100,000 may be payable to any one individual for each month in the applicable performance period. The 2004 Sub-Plan is an unfunded plan.
Under the 2004 Sub-Plan, an incentive pool will be established if and to the extent that the amount by which the per IDS distributions, which includes both interest and dividend payments (the Distributions per IDS), exceed a minimum per IDS distributable threshold amount (determined without regard to distributions under the 2004 Sub-Plan) (the Base Distributions per IDS) for each performance period. The performance periods will generally coincide with CSCs fiscal years, however the initial performance period will begin on the effective date of the plan and end on March 31, 2005. The Compensation Committee will have the sole and absolute discretion to determine if and when any amounts are paid from the bonus pool and whether such payments are to be made in the form of IDSs and/or cash. Any amount allocated to the bonus pool for any performance period which is not paid out shall be carried over and added to the bonus pool for the following performance period. The Base Distributions per IDS target will be set by the Compensation Committee. The amount of the bonus pool will be based on a set range of percentages of the aggregate Distributions per IDS in excess of the aggregate Base Distributions per IDS depending on the level of such excess. Subject to applicable law, the Compensation Committee has the power to amend or terminate the 2004 Sub-Plan at any time. The plan shall expire, unless earlier terminated, on the tenth anniversary of its effective date. CSC intends for the 2004 Sub-Plan to be a performance-based compensation arrangement within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, in order to ensure the full deductibility of all payments made under the Sub-Plan to executive officers and other senior employees whose compensation could otherwise be subject to limitations on deductibility.
CLC Equity Participation Purchase Program
Prior to the Going Private Transaction, certain of our employees acquired shares of common stock and preferred stock of CLC at fixed prices and on terms determined by the board of directors of CLC. The shares of common stock acquired were subject to vesting requirements, typically four years from the date of the acquisition. All of the shares of capital stock issued under the equity participation purchase program were contributed to Holdings in exchange for substantially equivalent equity interests in Holdings. As a result of prior issuances under the equity participation purchase program, as of March 31, 2005, 27,046,965 common units and 693 Class C preferred units of Holdings were outstanding.
Compensation of Directors
Employee directors do not receive compensation for services provided as a Director. Non-employee directors receive an annual retainer payable in advance. CSC pays each of our non-employee directors an annual retainer, attendance fees, committee chair retainers (if applicable) and committee retainers (if applicable) for their service on the board of directors and committees of CSC and its subsidiaries. The annual retainer is $35,000 per year, payable quarterly. The attendance fees are $2,000 per board meeting of the board of directors of CSC, plus $2,000 for each regularly scheduled committee meeting attended, payable quarterly. The committee chair for the audit committee receives an annual committee chair retainer of $15,000, payable quarterly. The non-chair audit committee member receives an annual retainer of $10,000, payable quarterly. Employee directors are not eligible for the annual retainer or attendance fees.
Directors are reimbursed by CSC for travel and entertainment expenses incurred while attending board of directors or committee meetings or while on our or CSC business, including first class airfare between their home cities and the location of the meeting, business meals while on our or CSC business, ground transportation and miscellaneous expenses such as tips and mileage. Hotel charges are billed directly to the CSC for directors attending board of directors or committee meetings.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During the 2005 Fiscal Year, all compensation matters were addressed by our board of directors, the Holdings board of managers or our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate. All future compensation matters will be addressed by our board of directors, the compensation committee of the CSC board of directors or our Chief
-48-
Executive Officer, as appropriate. None of our directors and none of our executive officers have a relationship that would constitute an interlocking relationship with executive officers or directors of another entity.

Registration Agreement
On March 6, 2003, Holdings entered into a registration agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement), with GTCR-CLC, LLC (GTCR-CLC), Messrs. Kerrigan (and MCS), Blatt, Doyle, Stanky and Chapman, and the investors named therein (collectively, the Registration Rights Holders). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, Holdings granted the Registration Rights Holders certain rights with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), for resale to the public, of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) of Holdings owned directly or indirectly by each of them. The Registration Rights Agreement provides, among other things and subject to limitations, that certain of the Registration Rights Holders have demand registration rights, pursuant to which they may request registration under the Securities Act of all or a portion of their Registrable Securities. The Registration Rights Agreement also grants the Registration Rights Holders piggyback registration rights, pursuant to which they may request inclusion of their Registrable Securities in a registration statement proposed to be filed by Holdings under the Securities Act. The Registration Rights Agreement provides for customary provisions regarding the priority among the Registration Rights Holders with respect to the number of Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to any demand or piggyback registration and indemnification by Holdings of the Registration Rights Holders.
Certain Loans to Members of Management
Generally
As of June 1, 2005, Messrs. Kerrigan (directly and indirectly through MCS,), Blatt, Doyle, Stanky and Norniella each owed Coinmach, CLC and/or Holdings $517,625 (which includes $45,394 owed in connection with the purchase of common stock of CLC), $394,138, $166,932, $169,181 and $63,360, respectively, plus interest accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Since the beginning of the 2005 fiscal year, the largest aggregate amount owed to Coinmach and/or CLC by Messrs. Kerrigan (directly and indirectly through MCS), Blatt, Doyle, Stanky and Norniella at any one time during such period was $588,053, $521,268, $177,365, $179,755 and $67,320, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
Equity Purchase Loans
On December 17, 2000, each of MCS and Messrs. Doyle, Stanky and Norniella, and on September 6, 2001, Mr. Blatt, entered into promissory notes (which we collectively refer to as the management promissory notes) in favor of CLC in connection with the purchase of shares of common stock of CLC under Coinmachs equity participation purchase program in original principal amounts of $408,547, $208,664, $211,476, $280,607 and $79,200, respectively. On March 6, 2003, each of MCS and Messrs. Blatt, Doyle, Stanky and Norniella entered into amended and restated promissory notes (which we refer to as the amended management promissory notes) with CLC on identical terms as the management promissory notes in substitution and exchange for the management promissory notes. See Management Contribution Agreements. The obligations under the amended management promissory notes are payable in installments over a period of ten years, accrue interest at a rate of 7% per annum, may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time and are secured by a pledge of certain membership units of Holdings held by each borrower thereunder. Since April 1, 2004, CLC forgave the repayment of approximately $47,913, $30,727, $22,849, $23,157 and $8,672 of principal and interest owed by each of MCS, Mr. Blatt, Mr. Doyle, Mr. Stanky, and Mr. Norniella, respectively, under such loans.
-52-
Relocation and Other Loans
On May 5, 1999, Coinmach extended a loan to Mr. Blatt in a principal amount of $250,000, which loan was evidenced by a promissory note, (which we refer to as the Blatt original note,) providing, among other things, that the outstanding loan balance was payable on May 5, 2002, that interest accrue thereon at a rate of 8% per annum and that the obligations under such loan are secured by a pledge of certain common stock of CLC held by Mr. Blatt. On March 15, 2002, Coinmach and Mr. Blatt entered into a replacement promissory note, (which we refer to as the Blatt replacement note), on identical terms as the Blatt original note in substitution and exchange for the Blatt original note, except that (i) the Blatt replacement note is in an original principal amount of $282,752, (ii) the outstanding loan balance under the Blatt replacement note is payable in equal annual installments of $56,550 commencing on March 15, 2003 and (iii) the obligations under the Blatt replacement note, pursuant to an amendment to the Blatt replacement note dated March 6, 2003, are secured by a pledge of certain preferred and common units of Holdings held by Mr. Blatt. If Mr. Blatt ceases to be employed by Coinmach as a result of (i) a change in control of Coinmach, (ii) the death or disability of Mr. Blatt while employed by Coinmach or (iii) a termination by Mr. Blatt for cause (each such event being referred to as a termination event), then all outstanding amounts due under the Blatt replacement note are required to be forgiven as of the date of such termination event. If Mr. Blatts employment is terminated upon the occurrence of any event that is not a termination event, then all outstanding amounts due under the Blatt replacement note will become due and payable within 30 business days following the termination of Mr. Blatts employment.
In connection with the establishment of a corporate office in Charlotte, North Carolina and the relocation of Mr. Kerrigan to such office in September 1996, Coinmach extended a loan in February 1997 to Mr. Kerrigan in the principal amount of $500,000 (which we refer to as the Kerrigan relocation loan). The Kerrigan relocation loan provides for the repayment of principal and interest in five equal annual installments commencing in July 1997 (each such payment date referred to as a payment date) and accrual of interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, the Coinmach board of directors determined to extend the Kerrigan relocation loan an additional five years providing for repayment of outstanding principal and interest in equal annual installments ending July 2006. The Kerrigan relocation loan provides that payments of principal and interest will be forgiven on each payment date provided that Mr. Kerrigan is employed by Coinmach on such payment date. If Mr. Kerrigan ceases to be employed by Coinmach as a result of (i) a change in control of Coinmach, (ii) the death or disability of Mr. Kerrigan while employed by Coinmach or (iii) a termination by Mr. Kerrigan for cause (each such event being referred to as a termination event), then all outstanding amounts due under the Kerrigan Relocation Loan are required to be forgiven as of the date of such termination event. If Mr. Kerrigans employment is terminated upon the occurrence of any event that is not a termination event, then all outstanding amounts due under the Kerrigan relocation loan will become due and payable within 30 business days following the termination of Mr. Kerrigans employment.
Securityholders Agreement
Holdings and CSC are parties to an Amended and Restated Securityholders Agreement, dated November 24, 2004 (the Securityholders Agreement), with GTCR-CLC, Jefferies & Company, Inc., Messrs. Kerrigan (and MCS), Blatt, Doyle, Stanky and Chapman, and the investors named therein (collectively, the Securityholders). The Securityholders Agreement provides that GTCR-CLC shall have the ability to designate for election a majority of the Holdings board of managers for so long as GTCR owns in the aggregate at least 50% of the securities of Holdings held by GTCR-CLC. The Securityholders Agreement also provides for certain restrictions on issuances and transfers of any of Holdings units purchased or otherwise acquired by any Securityholder including, but not limited to, provisions providing (i) Securityholders with certain limited participation rights in certain proposed transfers; (ii) certain Securityholders with limited first refusal rights in connection with certain proposed transfers of Holdings units or shares of CSC Class B Common Stock; and (iii) that if Holdings authorizes the issuance or sale of any Common Units or any securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for Common Units, Holdings will first offer to sell to the Securityholders a specified percentage of the Common Units sold in such issuance. Under the Secuityholders Agreement, upon approval by the Holdings board of managers and holders of a majority of the Common Units of Holdings then outstanding of a sale of all or substantially all of Holdings assets or outstanding units (whether by merger, recapitalization, consolidation, reorganization, combination or otherwise), each Securityholder shall vote for such sale and waive any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection therewith.

Management Contribution Agreements
On March 5, 2003, Holdings entered into separate management contribution agreements (which we collectively refer to as the management contribution agreements), with Messrs. Kerrigan (and MCS), Blatt, Doyle, Stanky and Chapman (whom we collectively refer to as the management stockholders). Pursuant to the management contribution agreements, the management stockholders agreed to contribute to Holdings all of the capital stock of CLC and all of the AWA common stock owned by each of them in exchange for substantially equivalent equity interests (in the form of Holdings common units and certain Holdings preferred units) in Holdings. Pursuant to such agreements, the management stockholders also assigned to Holdings their right to receive the dividend that CLC declared on March 5, 2003. The management contribution agreements with Mr. Chapman and Mr. Stanky further provide that the units of Holdings held by each of them are subject to customary rights of first refusal. In addition, the management contribution agreement with Mr. Stanky provides that if Mr. Stanky violates the non-competition clause of his employment agreement or he is terminated for any reason, the units of Holdings owned by him will be subject to repurchase by Holdings and certain other members of Holdings.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of
Coinmach
Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Coinmach Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2005. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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 our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Coinmach Corporation and Subsidiaries at March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

Coinmach Corporation and Subsidiaries
1. | Basis of Presentation |
The consolidated financial statements of Coinmach Corporation, a Delaware corporation, includes the accounts of all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coinmach Laundry Corporation (Laundry Corp. or the Parent), which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coinmach Service Corp., a Delaware corporation (CSC).
On November 24, 2004, CSC completed an initial public offering of Income Deposit Securities (IDSs) and a concurrent offering of 11% senior secured notes due 2024 sold separate and apart from the IDSs. In connection with the offering and certain related corporate reorganization transactions, Coinmach Holdings LLC (Holdings) exchanged its Laundry Corp. capital stock and all of its shares of common stock of Appliance Warehouse of America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (AWA) jointly-owned by the Company and Holdings, to CSC for CSC Class B common stock. Pursuant to these transactions, CSC became controlled by Holdings. The offerings and related transactions and the use of proceeds therefrom are referred to herein collectively as the IDS Transactions. Unless otherwise specified herein, references to the Company, Coinmach, we, our shall mean Coinmach Corporation and its subsidiaries.
CSC used a portion of the proceeds from the IDS Transactions to make an intercompany loan (the Intercompany Loan) to Coinmach in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $81.7 million and an indirect capital contribution (the Capital Contribution) through Laundry Corp. aggregating approximately $165.6 million. These proceeds were used to (i) redeem a portion of the 9% Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $125.5 million (plus approximately $4.5 million of accrued interest and approximately $11.3 million of related redemption premium), which notes were redeemed on December 24, 2004, (ii) repay approximately $15.5 million of outstanding term loans under Coinmachs Senior Secured Credit Facility and (iii) make a $93.5 million dividend payment to Laundry Corp.
Coinmach and its wholly owned subsidiaries are providers of outsourced laundry equipment services for multi-family housing properties in North America. The Companys core business (which the Company refers to as the route business) involves leasing laundry rooms from building owners and property management companies, installing and servicing laundry equipment, collecting revenues generated from laundry machines and operating retail laundromats located throughout Texas and Arizona. Through AWA, the Company leases laundry machines and other household appliances to property owners, managers of multi-family housing properties, and to a lesser extent, individuals and corporate relocation entities. Super Laundry Equipment Corp. (Super Laundry), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, constructs, designs and retrofits laundromats and distributes laundromat equipment.
Appliance Warehouse Transfer
On November 29, 2002, the Company transferred all of the assets of the Appliance Warehouse division of the Company to AWA. The value of the assets transferred as determined by an independent appraiser as of such date was approximately $34.7 million. In exchange for the transfer of such assets, AWA issued to the Company (i) an unsecured promissory note payable on demand in the amount of $19.6 million which accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum, (ii) 1,000 shares of preferred stock of AWA, par value $0.01 per share (the AWA Preferred Stock), with a liquidation value of $14.6 million, and (iii) 10,000 shares of common stock of AWA, par value $0.01 per share (AWA Common Stock). The AWA Preferred Stock is not redeemable and is vested with voting rights. Except as may otherwise be required by applicable law, the AWA Common Stock does not have any voting rights. Dividends on the AWA Preferred Stock accrue quarterly at the rate of 11% per annum and are payable in cash, in kind in the form of additional shares of AWA Preferred Stock, or in a combination thereof, at the option of AWA. The Company consolidates AWA as a result of its ownership of the AWA Preferred Stock which represents 100% of the voting interest. The Company treats the AWA Common Stock held by CSC as a minority interest. The Company has not recorded minority interest because AWAs Preferred Stock dividend requirements exceed its net income and CSC is not obligated to fund AWAs losses. Minority interest will be recorded in the future for the amount of AWAs net income that exceeds the preferred stock dividend requirements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Recognition of Revenues
The Company has agreements with various property owners that provide for the Companys installation and operation of laundry machines at various locations in return for a commission. These agreements provide for both contingent (percentage of revenues) and fixed commission payments.
The Company reports revenues from laundry machines on the accrual basis and has accrued the cash estimated to be in the machines at the end of each fiscal year. The Company calculates the estimated amount of cash and coin not yet collected at the end of a reporting period, which remain at laundry room locations by multiplying the average daily collection amount applicable to the location with the number of days the location had not been collected. The Company analytically reviews the estimated amount of cash and coin not yet collected at the end of a reporting period by comparing such amount with collections subsequent to the reporting period.
AWA has short-term contracts under which it leases laundry machines and other household appliances to its customers. These contracts require a fixed charge that is billed and recorded as revenue on a monthly basis as per the terms of such contracts.
Super Laundrys customers generally sign sales contracts pursuant to which Super Laundry constructs and equips complete laundromat operations. Revenue is recognized on the completed contract method. A contract is considered complete when all costs have been incurred and either the installation is operating according to specifications or has been accepted by the customer. The duration of such contracts is normally less than six months. Construction-in-progress, the amount of which is not material, is classified as a component of inventory on the accompanying balance sheets. Sales of laundromats amounted to approximately $24.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2005, $20.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2004 and $26.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2003.
No single customer represents more than 2% of the Companys total revenues. In addition, the Companys ten largest customers taken together account for less than 10% of the Companys total revenues in the aggregate.
Use of Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventory costs for Super Laundry are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Inventory costs for AWA and the route business are determined principally by using the average cost method and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Machine repair parts inventory is valued using a formula based on total purchases and the annual inventory turnover. Inventory consists of the following (in thousands):

Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets held for use are subject to an impairment assessment if the carrying value is no longer recoverable based upon the undiscounted cash flows of the assets. The amount of the impairment is the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. Management does not believe there is any impairment of long-lived assets at March 31, 2005.
Assets Held for Sale
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, the Company constructed five laundromats that were expected to be sold no later than the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The Company has determined that the plan of sale criteria in FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, has been met. The Company continues to actively market these laundromats and anticipates selling them in the near future. These assets held for sale have been recorded at their historical cost totaling $2,475,000, which the Company believes to be less than its fair value less costs to sell. The carrying value of the laundromats that are held for sale is separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet.
Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are carried at cost and are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful lives or lease life, whichever is shorter:
Laundry equipment, installation costs and fixtures |
5 to 8 years | |
Leasehold improvements and decorating costs |
5 to 8 years | |
Trucks and other vehicles |
3 to 4 years |
The cost of installing laundry machines is capitalized and included with laundry equipment. Decorating costs, which represent the costs of refurbishing and decorating laundry rooms in property-owner facilities, are capitalized and included with leasehold improvements.
Upon the sale or retirement of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in income. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations currently, and replacements of laundry machines and significant improvements are capitalized.
Goodwill
The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 (SFAS 142) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS 142 requires an annual impairment test of goodwill. Goodwill is further tested between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. SFAS 142 requires a two-step process in evaluating goodwill. In performing the annual goodwill assessment, the first step requires comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, the Company would need to perform the second step in the impairment test to measure the amount of goodwill write-off. The fair value of the reporting units for these tests is based upon a discounted cash flow model. In step two, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to the reporting units assets and liabilities (a hypothetical purchase price allocation as if the reporting unit had been acquired on that date). The implied fair value of goodwill is calculated by deducting the allocated fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in step one. The remaining fair value, after assigning fair value to all of the reporting units assets and liabilities, represents the implied fair value of goodwill for the reporting unit. If the implied fair value is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment loss equal to the difference would be recognized. The Company has determined that its reporting units with goodwill consist of the route business, AWA and Super Laundry. Goodwill attributed to the route business, AWA and Super Laundry at March 31, 2005 and 2004 is as follows (in thousands):

The Company performed its annual assessment of goodwill as of January 1, 2005 and determined that no impairment exists. There can be no assurances that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to income.

Contract Rights
Contract rights represent the value of location contracts arising from the acquisition of laundry machines on location. These amounts, which arose primarily from purchase price allocations pursuant to acquisitions, are amortized using accelerated methods over periods ranging from 30 to 35 years. The Company does not record contract rights relating to new locations signed in the ordinary course of business.
Amortization expense for contract rights for each of the next five years is estimated to be as follows (in millions of dollars):
Years ending March 31, | ||||
2006 |
$ | 13.5 | ||
2007 |
13.2 | |||
2008 |
12.9 | |||
2009 |
12.6 | |||
2010 |
12.3 |
The Company assesses the recoverability of contract rights in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company has twenty-eight geographic regions to which contract rights have been allocated. The Company has contracts at every location/property and analyzes revenue and certain direct costs on a contract-by-contract basis, however, the Company does not allocate common region costs and servicing costs to contracts, therefore regions represent the lowest level of identifiable cash flows in grouping contract rights. The assessment includes evaluating the financial results/cash flows and certain statistical performance measures for each region in which the Company operates. Factors that generally impact cash flows include commission rates paid to property owners, occupancy rates at properties, sensitivity to price increases, loss of existing machine base, and the regions general economic conditions. If as a result of this evaluation there are indicators of impairment that result in losses to the machine base, or an event occurs that would indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable, the Company reevaluates the carrying value of contract rights based on future undiscounted cash flows attributed to that region and records an impairment loss based on discounted cash flows if the carrying amount of the contract rights are not recoverable from undiscounted cash flows. Based on present operations and strategic plans, management believes that there have not been any indicators of impairment of contract rights or long lived assets.

Advance Location Payments
Advance location payments to location owners are paid at the inception or renewal of a lease for the right to operate applicable laundry rooms during the contract period, in addition to commission to be paid during the lease term and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract term, which generally ranges from 5 to 10 years. Prepaid rent is included on the balance sheet as a component of prepaid expenses.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the aggregate change in stockholders equity excluding changes in ownership interests. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of gains or losses on derivative instruments (interest rate swap agreements).
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Any deferred tax assets recognized for net operating loss carryforwards and other items are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that the benefits may not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Derivatives
The Company accounts for derivatives pursuant to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. The derivatives used by the Company are interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges.
The effective portion of the derivatives gain or loss is initially reported in stockholders equity as a component of comprehensive loss and upon settlement subsequently reclassified into earnings.

Senior Notes plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of redemption. The indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes contains certain financial covenants and restrict the payment of certain dividends, distributions or other payments from the Company to Laundry Corp. The 9% Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured senior basis by our domestic subsidiaries.
The indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements, including covenants with respect to the following matters: (i) limitation on additional indebtedness; (ii) limitation on certain payments (in the form of the declaration or payment of certain dividends or distributions on our capital stock, the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any of our capital stock, the voluntary prepayment of subordinated indebtedness, or an Investment (as defined in the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes) in any other person or entity); (iii) limitation on transactions with affiliates; (iv) limitation on liens; (v) limitation on sales of assets; (vi) limitation on the issuance of preferred stock by non-guarantor subsidiaries; (vii) limitation on conduct of business; (viii) limitation on dividends and other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; and (ix) limitation on consolidations, mergers and sales of substantially all of our assets.
At March 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes.
b. | Credit Facility |
On January 25, 2002, the Company also entered into a new senior secured credit facility (the Senior Secured Credit Facility) which was comprised of an aggregate of $355 million of secured financing consisting of: (i) a revolving credit facility which has a maximum borrowing limit of $75 million bearing interest at a monthly Eurodollar Rate plus 2.75% expiring on January 25, 2008; (ii) a $30 million Tranche A term loan facility which was bearing interest at a monthly Eurodollar Rate plus 2.75% and (iii) a $250 million Tranche B term loan facility which is bearing interest at a monthly Eurodollar Rate plus 2.75%. The Senior Secured Credit Facility (revolving credit facility portion) also provides for up to $10 million of letter of credit financings and short-term borrowings under a swing line facility of up to $7.5 million. These interest rates are subject to change from time to time and may increase by 25 basis points or decrease up to 75 basis points based on certain financial ratios.
Interest on the borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is payable quarterly in arrears with respect to base rate loans and the last day of each applicable interest period with respect to Eurodollar loans and at a rate per annum not greater than the base rate or the Eurodollar rate, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. Subject to certain terms and conditions of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company may, at its option convert base rate loans into Eurodollar loans. At March 31, 2005, the monthly variable Eurodollar interest rate was 2.90%.
Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is secured by all of the Companys real and personal property and is guaranteed by each of the Companys domestic subsidiaries. Under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company and Laundry Corp. pledged to Deutsche Bank Trust Company, as Collateral Agent, their interests in all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company and the Companys domestic subsidiaries.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements, including covenants with respect to limitations on (i) indebtedness; (ii) certain payments (in the form of the declaration or payment of certain dividends or distributions on the capital stock of the Company or the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any of the capital stock of the Company); (iii) voluntary prepayments of previously existing indebtedness; (iv) Investments (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility); (v) transactions with affiliates; (vi) liens; (vii) sales or purchases of assets; (viii) conduct of business; (ix) dividends and other payment restrictions affecting subsidiaries; (x) consolidations and mergers; (xi) capital expenditures; (xii) issuances of certain of the Companys equity securities; and (xiii) creation of subsidiaries. At March 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
On November 24, 2004, CSC completed the IDS Transactions. Coinmach used a portion of the proceeds from the Intercompany Loan and the Capital Contribution to (i) redeem a portion of the 9% Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $125.5 million (plus approximately $4.5 million of accrued interest and

approximately $11.3 million of related redemption premium), which notes were redeemed on December 24, 2004 and (ii) repay approximately $15.5 million of outstanding term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The 9% Senior Notes described above were redeemed on December 24, 2004 with the funds that were set aside in escrow on November 24, 2004.
Transaction costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 represent (1) the $11.3 million redemption premium on the portion of 9% Senior Notes redeemed, (2) the write-off of the deferred financing costs relating to the redemption of 9% Senior Notes and the repayment of the term loans aggregating approximately $3.5 million, (3) expenses aggregating approximately $2.0 million relating to an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility effected on November 15, 2004 to, among other things, permit the IDS Transactions, and (4) special bonuses related to the IDS Transactions aggregating approximately $0.6 million.
As a condition to the consummation of the initial public offering, as described below, the Company entered into an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility on November 15, 2004 with the requisite lenders and agents thereunder to, among other things, permit consummation of the IDS Transactions.

F-14
Coinmach Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
to the Senior Secured Credit Facility to a fixed rate basis thus reducing the impact of interest-rate changes on future interest expense. The three swap agreements consist of: (i) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.91% and expiring on February 1, 2006, (ii) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.91% and expiring on February 1, 2006 and (iii) a $50 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 2.90% and expiring on February 1, 2006. These interest rate swaps used to hedge the variability of forecasted cash flows attributable to interest rate risk were designated as cash flow hedges. The Company recognized accumulated other comprehensive income of approximately $2.5, net of tax, in the stockholders equity section for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, relating to the interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges.
4. | Intercompany Loan |
CSC made the Intercompany Loan of approximately $81.7 million to Coinmach with a portion of the proceeds from the IDS Transactions. Interest under the Intercompany Loan accrues at an annual rate of 10.95% and is payable quarterly on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year and the Intercompany Loan is due and payable in full on December 1, 2024. The Intercompany Loan is a senior unsecured obligation of Coinmach, ranks equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of Coinmach (including indebtedness under the 9% Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facility) and ranks senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Coinmach. Certain of Coinmachs domestic restricted subsidiaries guarantee the Intercompany Loan on a senior unsecured basis. The Intercompany Loan currently contains covenants (other than a covenant providing for the delivery of reports to holders) that are substantially the same as those provided in the terms of the 9% Senior Notes (as such covenants may be modified in the future pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 9% Senior Notes) provided, however, that on the redemption or repayment in full of the 9% Senior Notes, the covenants contained in the Intercompany Loan will become substantially the same as those provided in the terms of such other indebtedness that refinances or replaces the 9% Senior Notes or, in the absence thereof, the terms of the 11% Senior Secured Notes. The Intercompany Loan and the guaranty of the Intercompany Loan by certain subsidiaries of the Company were pledged by CSC to secure the repayment of the 11% Senior Secured Notes.
If at any time the Company is not prohibited from doing so under the terms of its then outstanding indebtedness, in the event that CSC undertakes an offering of IDSs or Class A Common Stock, a portion of the net proceeds of such offering, subject to certain limitations, will be loaned to the Company and increase the principal amount of the Intercompany Loan and the guaranty of the Intercompany Loan.
If the Company merged with or into CSC, the Intercompany Loan would be terminated and the Company, as a constituent corporation of the merged companies, would become responsible for the payment obligations relating to the 11% Senior Secured Notes.
If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Intercompany Loan, the Intercompany Loan holder will have the right to declare all obligations under the Intercompany Loan immediately due and payable; provided that if the Company shall become the subject of an insolvency, bankruptcy or cross-acceleration event of default, all of the obligations under the Intercompany Loan and the guarantees in respect thereof shall become immediately and automatically due and payable without any action or notice. Any waiver of a default or an event of default under the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes that causes a default or an event of default under the Intercompany Loan shall also be a waiver of such default or event of default under the Intercompany Loan without further action or notice.
At March 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Intercompany Loan.
5. | Retirement Savings Plan |
The Company maintains a defined contribution plan meeting the guidelines of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Such plan requires employees to meet certain age, employment status and minimum entry requirements as allowed by law.

7. | Guarantor Subsidiaries |
The Companys domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the Guarantor Subsidiaries) have guaranteed the 9% Senior Notes and indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facility referred to in Note 3. The Company has not included separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries because they are wholly-owned by the Company, the guarantees issued are full and unconditional and the guarantees are joint and several. In addition, the non-Guarantor Subsidiaries are minor since the combined operations of the non-Guarantor Subsidiaries represent less than 1% of the Companys total revenue, total assets, stockholders equity, income from continuing operations before income taxes and cash flows from operating activities, in each case on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, the Company has not included a separate column for the non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. The condensed consolidating balance sheets as of March 31, 2005 and 2004, the condensed consolidating statements of operations for the years ended March 31, 2005, March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, and the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2005, March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003 include AWA, Super Laundry, ALFC and Grand Wash & Dry Launderette, Inc., as Guarantor Subsidiaries.

The Company utilizes third party letters of credit to guarantee certain business transactions, primarily certain insurance activities. The total amount of the letters of credit at March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 were approximately $6.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the ultimate disposition of such proceedings is not presently determinable, management does not believe that adverse determinations in any or all such proceedings would have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In connection with insurance coverages, which include workers compensation, general liability and other coverages, annual premiums are subject to limited retroactive adjustment based on actual loss experience.

10. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The Company is required to disclose fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate the value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, the Senior Secured Credit Facility, and other long-term debt approximate their fair value at March 31, 2005.
The carrying amount and related estimated fair value for the 9% Senior Notes are as follows (in thousands):

11. Segment Information
The Company reports segment information for the route segment, its only reportable operating segment, and provides information for its two other operating segments reported as All other. The route segment, which comprises the Companys core business, involves leasing laundry rooms from building owners and property management companies typically on a long-term, renewal basis, installing and servicing the laundry equipment, collecting revenues generated from laundry machines, and operating retail laundromats. The other business operations reported in All other include the aggregation of the rental and distribution businesses. The rental business involves the leasing of laundry machines and other household appliances to property owners, managers of multi-family housing properties and to a lesser extent, individuals and corporate relocation entities through the Companys jointly-owned subsidiary, AWA. The distribution business involves constructing complete turnkey retail laundromats, retrofitting existing retail laundromats, distributing exclusive lines of coin and non-coin machines and parts, and selling service contracts. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on EBITDA (earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization), cash flow and growth opportunity. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before deductions for interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Management believes that EBITDA is useful as a means to evaluate the Companys ability to service existing debt, to sustain potential future increases in debt and to satisfy capital requirements. EBITDA is also used by management as a measure of evaluating the performance of the Companys three operating segments. Management further believes that EBITDA is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance as it is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges and more reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance. Management uses EBITDA to develop compensation plans, to measure sales force performance and to allocate capital assets. Additionally, because Coinmach has historically provided EBITDA to investors, management believes that presenting this non-GAAP financial measure provides consistency in financial reporting. Managements use of EBITDA, however, is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor has it been presented as an alternative to either (a) operating income (as determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) as an indicator of operating performance or (b) cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (as determined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as a measure of liquidity. Given that EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table reconciles the Companys net loss to EBITDA for each period presented (in millions):

In October 2002, Laundry Corp. contributed its ownership interest in Resident Data, Inc. (RDI), valued at approximately $2.7 million, to the Company. Subsequently, the Company sold its interest in RDI, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger between RDI and third parties (the RDI Sale), for cash proceeds of approximately $6.6 million before estimated expenses directly related to such sale, resulting in a gain of approximately $3.3 million. Offsetting this gain at October 2002 was approximately $2.8 million of various expenses related to (i) professional fees incurred in connection with the formation of AWA and related restructuring transactions, including the transfer of the Appliance Warehouse division of the Company to AWA and the formation of Holdings, (ii) organizational costs related to the formation of ALFC and (iii) certain expenses associated with the consolidation of certain offices of Super Laundry which was the result of actions taken by the Company to reduce operating costs at Super Laundry. These actions included, among other things, the closing of operations in Northern California, New Jersey and Maryland, the reassignment of responsibilities among Super Laundrys remaining management team, the write-off of inventory due to obsolescence and the write-off of various receivable balances.
Under the terms of the RDI Sale, the Company is entitled to receive, subject to the satisfaction of certain specified conditions, a portion of the purchase price up to an aggregate amount of approximately $2.1 million. These funds, if paid, were scheduled to be paid in two installments in October 2003 and October 2004.
In October 2003, the Company received the first installment of approximately $1.0 million. Based on the receipt of this first installment and expectations with respect to the receipt of the balance of the funds, the Company recorded income of approximately $1.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2004. Offsetting the additional income related to the RDI Sale was approximately $1.9 million of expenses related to consolidation of offices of Super Laundry. This consolidation was the result of actions taken by the Company to reduce operating costs at Super Laundry including, among other things, the closing of distribution operations in Southern California, the reassignment of responsibilities among Super Laundrys remaining management team and the write-off of inventory due to obsolescence.
In November 2004, the Company received the second installment of approximately $0.9 million. Other items for the year ended March 31, 2005 include approximately $1.2 million relating to additional expenses associated with the closing of California operations in the distribution business, offset slightly by additional income related to the RDI Sale.
13. | Dividends |
On November 24, 2004 and December 21, 2004, in connection with the IDS Transactions, cash dividends on Coinmachs outstanding common stock aggregating approximately $93.5 million were paid to Laundry Corp.
On February 8, 2005, the board of directors of Coinmach approved an aggregate cash dividend of approximately $3.3 million on Coinmachs outstanding common stock, which cash dividend was paid by Coinmach on March 1, 2005 to Laundry Corp. to be used by CSC to satisfy in part distribution payments under its IDSs.
On May 12, 2005, the board of directors of Coinmach approved an aggregate cash dividend of approximately $5.4 million on Coinmachs outstanding common stock which cash dividend is payable on June 1, 2005 to Laundry Corp. to be used by CSC to satisfy in part distribution payments under its IDSs.
