NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

(In thousands, except per share data)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of the management of Mac-Gray Corporation (the “Company” or “Mac-Gray”,) the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments), which are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations, and its cash flows. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2010 audited consolidated financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The Company generates the majority of its revenue from card and coin-operated laundry equipment located in 43 states throughout the United States, as well as the District of Columbia. The Company’s principal customer base is the multi-unit housing market, which consists of apartments, condominium units, colleges and universities. The Company also sells and services commercial laundry equipment to commercial laundromats, multi-housing properties and institutions. The majority of the Company’s purchases of laundry equipment are from one supplier.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. On February 5, 2010, the Company sold its MicroFridge® (Intirion Corporation) business to Danby Products. The operations and cash flows of this business have been eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company as a result of this disposal transaction. Since the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of this business, the Company has accounted for this business as a discontinued operation. All prior period financial information has been restated to reflect Intirion Corporation as a discontinued operation.

2. Long-Term Debt

The Company has a senior secured credit agreement (the “Secured Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $151,000 in the aggregate, including $21,000 pursuant to a Term Loan and up to $130,000 pursuant to a Revolver. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $750 at the end of each calendar quarter through December 31, 2012, with the remaining principal balance of $15,750 due on April 1, 2013. The Secured Credit Agreement also provides for Bank of America, N. A. to make swingline loans to us of up to $10,000 (the “Swingline Loans”) and any Swingline Loans will reduce the borrowings available under the Revolver. Subject to certain terms and conditions contained therein, the Secured Credit Agreement gives the Company the option to establish additional term and/or revolving credit facilities thereunder, provided that the aggregate commitments under the Secured Credit Agreement cannot exceed $220,000.

Borrowings outstanding under the Secured Credit Agreement bear interest at a fluctuating rate equal to (i) in the case of Eurodollar rate loans, the LIBOR rate (adjusted for statutory reserves) plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% per annum (currently 2.00%), determined by reference to the Company’s senior secured leverage ratio, and (ii) in the case of base rate loans and Swingline Loans, the higher of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or (b) the annual rate of interest announced by Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate,” in each case, plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 1.00% to 1.50% per annum (currently 1.00%), determined by reference to the Company’s senior secured leverage ratio.

2. Long-Term Debt (continued)

The obligations under the Secured Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries and collateralized by (i) a pledge of 100% of the ownership interests in the subsidiaries, and (ii) a first-priority security interest in substantially all our tangible and intangible assets.

Under the Secured Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to customary lending covenants, including restrictions pertaining to, among other things: (i) the incurrence of additional indebtedness, (ii) limitations on liens, (iii) making distributions, dividends and other payments, (iv) the making of certain investments and loans, (v) mergers, consolidations and acquisitions, (vi) dispositions of assets, (vii) the maintenance of a maximum total leverage ratio of not greater than 4.25 to 1.00, a maximum senior secured leverage ratio of not greater than 2.50 to 1.00, and a minimum consolidated cash flow coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00, (viii) transactions with affiliates, and (ix) changes to governing documents and subordinate debt documents, in each case subject to baskets, exceptions and thresholds. The Company was in compliance with these and all other financial covenants at March 31, 2011.

The Secured Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default with, in some cases, corresponding grace periods, including (i) failure to pay any principal or interest when due, (ii) failure to comply with covenants, (iii) any representation or warranty made by us proving to be incorrect in any material respect, (iv) payment defaults relating to, or acceleration of, other material indebtedness, (v) certain bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership events affecting us, (vi) a change in our control, (vii) the Company or its subsidiaries becoming subject to certain material judgments, claims or liabilities, or (viii) a material defect in the lenders’ lien against the collateral securing the obligations under the Secured Credit Agreement.

In the event of an event of default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the requisite number of lenders under the Secured Credit Agreement must, terminate the lenders’ commitments to make loans under the Secured Credit Agreement and declare all obligations under the Secured Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. For certain events of default related to bankruptcy, insolvency and receivership, the commitments of the lenders will be automatically terminated and all outstanding obligations of the Company under the Secured Credit Agreement will become immediately due and payable.

The Company pays a commitment fee equal to a percentage of the actual daily unused portion of the Secured Revolver under the Secured Credit Agreement. This percentage, currently 0.300% per annum, is determined quarterly by reference to the senior secured leverage ratio and will range between 0.300% per annum and 0.500% per annum.

As of March 31, 2011, there was $49,712 outstanding under the Revolver, $21,000 outstanding under the Term Loan and $1,380 in outstanding letters of credit. The available balance under the Revolver was $78,908 at March 31, 2011. The average interest rates on the borrowings outstanding under the Secured Credit Agreement at March 31, 2010 and 2011 were 6.80% and 5.41%, respectively, including the applicable spread paid to the banks and the effect of the interest rate swap agreements tied to the debt (see Note 3 for discussion on Fair Value Measurements).

On August 16, 2005, the Company issued senior unsecured notes in the amount of $150,000. These notes bear interest at 7.625% payable semi-annually each February and August. A portion of the senior notes are tied to an interest rate swap agreement (see Note 3 for discussion on Fair Value Measurements). After taking the swap agreement into effect, the average interest rates on the senior notes at March 31, 2010 and 2011 was 5.78% and 5.82%, respectively. The maturity date of the notes is August 15, 2015. The proceeds from the senior notes, less financing costs, were used to pay down senior bank debt. Since the senior notes are not widely traded, the market value of these notes approximates book value at March 31, 2011.

The Company has the option to redeem all or a portion of the senior notes at the redemption prices (expressed in percentages of principal amount on the redemption date), plus accrued interest to the redemption date, if redeemed, during the 12-month period commencing on August 15 of the years set forth below:

2012	101.271	%
2013 and thereafter	100.000	%

As of March 31, 2011, the Company had not redeemed any of its senior notes.

The terms of the senior notes include customary covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions pertaining to: (i) incurrence of additional indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock, (ii) payment of dividends on or making of distributions in respect of capital stock or making certain other restricted payments or investments, (iii) entering into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries, (iv) sale or other disposition of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries, (v) transactions with affiliates, (vi) incurrence of liens, (vii) sale/leaseback transactions, and (viii) merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of our assets, in each case subject to numerous baskets, exceptions and thresholds. The Company was in compliance with these and all other financial covenants at March 31, 2011.

The terms of the senior notes provide for customary events of default, including, but not limited to: (i) failure to pay any principal or interest when due, (ii) failure to comply with covenants and limitations, (iii) certain insolvency or receivership events affecting us or any of our subsidiaries, and (iv) unsatisfied material judgments, claims or liabilities against us. There were no events of default under the senior notes at March 31, 2011.

Capital lease obligations on the Company’s fleet of vehicles totaled $3,833 and $3,564 at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, respectively.

Required payments under the Company’s long-term debt and capital lease obligations are as follows:

	Amount
2011 (nine months)	$	3,354
2012	4,134
2013	66,333
2014	445
2015	150,010
Thereafter	—
	$	224,276

The Company historically has not needed sources of financing other than its internally generated cash flow and revolving credit facilities to fund its working capital, capital expenditures, and smaller acquisitions. As a result, the Company anticipates that its cash flow from operations and revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company has adopted accounting guidance regarding fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The following table summarizes the basis used to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheet:

	Balance at March 31, 2011		Quoted Prices In Active Markets for Identical Items (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Interest rate swap derivative financial instruments (included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities)	$	416	$	—	$	416	$	—

Interest rate swap derivative financial instruments (included in other liabilities)	$	954	$	—	$	954	$	—

Fuel comodity derivative (included in other current assets)	$	279	$	—	$	—	$	279

The Company has entered into standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) interest rate swap agreements (“Swap Agreements”) to manage the interest rate associated with its debt. The interest rate Swap Agreements effectively convert a portion of the Company’s variable rate debt to a long-term fixed rate. Under these agreements the Company receives a variable rate of LIBOR plus a markup and pays a fixed rate.

The Company has also entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage the interest rate associated with its senior unsecured notes. This interest rate swap agreement effectively converts a portion ($100 million) of our fixed rate senior unsecured notes to a variable rate. Under this agreement the Company receives the fixed rate on our senior unsecured notes (7.625%) and pays a variable rate of LIBOR plus the applicable margin charged by the banks. This interest rate swap agreement has an associated call feature that allows the counterparty to terminate this agreement at their option.

3. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

In December 2010 the Company entered into a fuel commodity derivative to manage the fuel cost of its fleet of vehicles. The derivative is effective April 1, 2011 and expires December 31, 2011. The derivative has a monthly notional amount of 80,000 gallons from April 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 for a total notional amount of 720,000 gallons. The Company has a put price of $3.015 per gallon and a strike price of $3.50 per gallon. The Company recognized a non-cash unrealized gain of $279 on this fuel commodity derivative as a result of the change in the mark to market value for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

The fair value of these interest rate derivatives are based on quoted prices for similar instruments from a commercial bank and are considered a Level 2 item. The fuel commodity derivative is based on market assumptions and a quoted price from the counter party and is considered a Level 3 item.

One of the Company’s interest rate Swap Agreements qualifies as a cash flow hedge while the others do not. The change in the fair value of the interest rate Swap Agreements that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment is recognized in the income statement in the period in which the change occurs. The effective portion of the interest rate Swap Agreement that qualifies for hedge accounting is included in Other Comprehensive Loss in the period in which the change occurs, while the ineffective portion, if any, is recognized in income in the period in which the change occurs.

During the first quarter of 2010 the Company no longer qualified for hedge accounting treatment for one of its interest rate swap agreements. Accordingly, the amount included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss at the time hedge accounting was lost must be reclassified as an earnings charge through the maturity date of the derivative. This charge amounted to $147 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $671 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The remaining balance of $453 associated with this interest rate swap and included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss will be charged against income through the maturity date of the interest rate swap agreement on April 1, 2013.

The table below outlines the details of each remaining interest rate Swap Agreement:

			Notional	Notional
	Original		Amount	Amount
Date of	Notional		Fixed/	March 31,		Expiration	Fixed
Origin	Amount		Amortizing	2011		Date	Rate

May 8, 2008	$	45,000	Amortizing	$	30,000	Apr 1, 2013	3.78	%

In accordance with the interest rate Swap Agreements and on a quarterly basis, interest expense is calculated based on the floating 90-day LIBOR and the fixed rate. With regard to the Company’s floating to fixed rate interest rate swap agreements, if interest expense, as calculated, is greater based on the 90-day LIBOR, the financial institution pays the difference to the Company. If interest expense, as calculated, is greater based on the fixed rate, the Company pays the difference to the financial institution. With regard to the Company’s fixed to floating rate interest rate swap agreement, if interest expense, as calculated, is greater based on the 90-day LIBOR, the Company pays the difference to the financial institution. If interest expense, as calculated, is greater based on the fixed rate, the financial institution pays the difference to the Company.

Depending on fluctuations in the LIBOR, the Company’s interest rate exposure and its related impact on interest expense and net cash flow may increase or decrease. The counterparty to the interest rate Swap Agreements exposes the Company to credit loss in the event of non-performance; however, nonperformance is not anticipated.

	$	176,746

Amortization expense of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011 was $3,312 and $3,305, respectively.

Intangible assets primarily consist of various non-compete agreements, and contract rights recorded in connection with acquisitions. The deferred financing costs were incurred in connection with our senior secured credit facility and our senior notes and are amortized from five to ten years. The non-compete agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the agreements, which range from five to fifteen years. Contract rights are amortized using the straight-line method over fifteen to twenty years. The life assigned to acquired contracts is based on several factors, including: (i) the historical renewal rate of the contract portfolio for the most recent years prior to the acquisition, (ii) the number of years the average contract has been in the contract portfolio, (iii) the overall level of customer satisfaction within the contract portfolio, and (iv) our ability to maintain comparable renewal rates in the future. The contract rights acquired are aggregated for purposes of calculating their fair value upon acquisition due to the fact that there are thousands of individual contracts in each market. No single contract accounts for more than 2% of the revenue of any acquired portfolio and the contracts are homogeneous. The fair values of acquired portfolios are established based upon discounted cash flows generated by the acquired contracts. The fair values of the contracts are allocated to asset groups, comprised of the Company’s geographic markets, based on an estimate of relative fair value.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various litigation proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company’s ultimate liability, if any, under pending litigation would not materially affect its financial condition or the results of its operations or cash flows.

There were 923 and 265 shares under option plans that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively, due to their anti-dilutive effects.

7. Discontinued Operations

On February 5, 2010, the Company sold its MicroFridge® (Intirion Corporation) business to Danby Products. The transaction has been valued at approximately $11,500. Danby Products paid Mac-Gray $8,500 in cash and assumed existing liabilities and financial obligations of MicroFridge totaling approximately $3,000. Since the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of this business, the Company has accounted for this business as a discontinued operation. Prior period financial information has been restated to reflect Intirion Corporation as a discontinued operation. The Company recorded a loss, net of taxes, as a result of this transaction, in the amount of $294. Concurrent with this transaction, the Company paid $8,000 on its Term Loan.

7. Discontinued Operations (continued)

Included in the table below are the key financial items related to the discontinued operation:

	Three months ended
	March 31, 2010

Revenue	$	2,200
Interest expense, net (1)	$	20

Income before provision for income taxes	$	83
Income taxes on income from discontinued operations	39
Loss from disposal of discontinued operations, net of tax	294
Loss from discontinued operations, including loss on disposal of discontinued operations, net	$	(250	)

(1) Includes interest expense allocated to the discontinued operation as a result of a requirement to pay $8,000 on the Company’s Term Loan. The average interest rate used to calculate this allocation was 2.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

8. Stock Compensation

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, grants of options for 259 shares were issued by the Company. The grant-date fair values of employee share options and similar instruments are estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair values of the stock options granted were estimated using the following components:

Weighted average fair value of options at grant date		$6.75
Risk free interest rates		2.301% – 2.642%
Pre-vest forfeiture rates		0.00% – 23.00%
Expected life		6 years – 7 years
Expected volatility		49.159% – 50.893%
Dividend Yield		1.47%

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company granted restricted stock units covering 89 shares of stock with a fair market value on date of grant of $14.91 per share. The restricted stock units vest in one year subject to the achievement of certain performance objectives established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the beginning of the fiscal year. In addition, the Company granted 45 restricted stock units that give the grantee the option to settle the award in cash or in shares of common stock. These restricted stock units are subject to the same performance criteria as the previously mentioned restricted stock awards. These awards are measured at their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The awards had a fair market value of $16.13 per share at March 31, 2011. The Company also granted restricted stock units covering 9 shares of stock with a fair market value of $15.60 per share that vest over three years and which do not have a performance requirement.

8. Stock Compensation (continued)

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred stock compensation expense of $950. The allocation of stock compensation expense is consistent with the allocation of the participants’ salaries and other compensation expenses.

At March 31, 2011, options for 639 shares and 249 restricted shares have been granted but have not yet vested. Compensation expense related to unvested options and restricted shares will be recognized in the following years:

2011 (nine months)	$	2,658
2012	2,087
2013	998
2014	11
	$	5,754

9. Income Taxes

The following table presents the provision for income taxes and the effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2010			2011

Provision for incomes taxes	$	1,319		$	1,412
Effective tax rate	47		%	41		%

The effective income tax rate on continuing operations is based upon the estimated income for the year and adjustments, if any, resulting from tax audits or other tax contingencies.

The decrease in the effective tax rates of 47% and 41% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively, is the result of the relative impact of permanent differences due to increased pretax profits.

10. New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended guidance for identifying separate deliverables in a revenue-generating transaction where multiple deliverables exist, and provides guidance for allocating and recognizing revenues based on those separate deliverables. This update also requires additional disclosure related to the significant assumptions used to determine the revenue recognition of the separate deliverables. This guidance is required to be applied prospectively to new or significantly modified revenue arrangements. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standards update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated income statement, balance sheet or cash flow statement.

In January 2010 the FASB issued an accounting standards update modifying the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Under these requirements, purchases and settlements for Level 3 fair value measurements are presented on a gross basis, rather than net. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2011.

11. Payment of dividends

On January 20, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.055 per share payable on April 1, 2011, to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2011. The dividend was paid prior to March 31, 2011 and has been reflected in the current financial statements.

Overview

Mac-Gray Corporation was founded in 1927 and re-incorporated in Delaware in 1997. Since its founding, Mac-Gray has grown to become the second largest laundry facilities management business in the United States. Through our portfolio of card and coin-operated laundry equipment located in laundry facilities across the country, we provide laundry convenience to residents of multi-unit housing, such as apartment buildings, condominiums, colleges and universities, public housing complexes, and hotels and motels. Based on our ongoing survey of colleges and universities, we believe we are the largest provider of such services to the college and university market in the United States.

Our business model is built on a stable demand for laundry services, combined with long-term leases, strong customer relationships, a broad customer base, and predictable capital needs. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our total revenue was $82,293. Approximately 96% of our total revenue for the three month period was generated by our facilities management business. We generate facilities management revenue primarily by entering into long-term leases with property owners or property management companies for the exclusive right to install and maintain laundry equipment in common area laundry rooms within their properties in exchange for a negotiated portion of the revenue we collect. As of March 31, 2011, approximately 87% of our installed equipment base was located in laundry facilities subject to long-term leases, which have a weighted average remaining term of approximately four years. Our capital costs are typically incurred in connection with new or renewed leases, and include investments in laundry equipment and card and coin-operated systems, incentive payments to property owners or property management companies, and expenses to refurbish laundry facilities. Our capital costs consist of a large number of relatively small amounts, which are associated with our entry into or renewal of leases. Accordingly, our capital needs are predictable and largely within our control. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we incurred $7,187 of capital expenditures. In addition, we made incentive payments of approximately $937 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 to property owners and property management companies in connection with obtaining our lease arrangements.

Through our commercial equipment sales and services business, we generate revenue by selling commercial laundry equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our commercial laundry equipment sales business generated approximately 4% of our total revenue, and 3% of our gross margin. We anticipate that tight credit markets for our customers will continue to challenge our ability to maintain and grow our revenue from laundry equipment sales.

Our current priorities include: (i) continuing to reduce funded debt, thereby improving debt leverage ratios and reducing interest expense, (ii) maintaining capital expenditures at the irreducible levels needed to sustain the business, (iii) increasing facilities management operating efficiencies in all markets, particularly the ones that have been influenced by acquisition activity in the past three years, and (iv) improving the profitability of individual laundry facilities management accounts that come up for contract renewal. One of the key challenges we face is maintaining and expanding our customer base in a competitive industry. Approximately 10% to 15% of our laundry room leases are up for renewal each year. Within any given geographic area, Mac-Gray may compete with local independent operators, regional operators and multi-region operators as well as property owners and property management companies who self-operate their laundry facilities. We devote substantial resources to our sales efforts and are focused on continued innovation in order to distinguish us from our competitors.

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.55 per share payable on April 1, 2011 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2011.

On February 5, 2010, the Company sold its MicroFridge® (Intirion Corporation) business to Danby Products. The following discussion excludes the financial results from our discontinued operations unless otherwise noted. Prior period results have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.

Results of Operations (Dollars in thousands)

Three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to three months ended March 31, 2010.

The information presented below for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report:

	For the three months ended March 31,
					Increase		%
	2010		2011		(Decrease)		Change
Laundry facilities management revenue	$	78,449	$	79,189	$	740	1	%
Commercial laundry equipment sales revenue	3,054		3,104		50		2	%
Total revenue from continuing operations	$	81,503	$	82,293	$	790	1	%

Revenue

Total revenue increased by $790, or 1%, to $82,293 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $81,503 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Laundry facilities management revenue. Laundry facilities management revenue increased by $740, or 1%, to $79,189 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $78,449 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in revenue is the result of increased usage of the Company’s equipment in several of the markets in which the Company conducts business. We believe that the increased usage is mainly attributable to increased apartment occupancy rates in these markets. While we have seen an improvement in occupancy rates in some of our markets, we expect vacancy rates above historical norms to continue to have a negative impact on our facilities management business in the near term but to a lesser extent than it has in the recent past. The increases in revenues are also attributable to the Company’s program of increasing vend prices. We continue to track the change in revenue month over month and quarter over quarter in our markets to better understand the revenue trend for our multi-family housing customers. This analysis is used to enable us to respond to changing trends in different geographic markets and to enable us to better allocate capital spending.

Commercial laundry equipment sales. Revenue in the commercial laundry equipment sales business increased by $50, or 2%, to $3,104 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $3,054 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Sales in the commercial laundry equipment sales business are sensitive to the strength of the local economy, the availability and cost of financing to small businesses, consumer confidence, and local permitting and therefore, tend to fluctuate significantly from period to period. We expect tight credit markets for our customers will continue to challenge our ability to maintain or grow our revenue from laundry equipment sales.

Cost of revenue

Cost of laundry facilities management revenue. Cost of laundry facilities management revenue includes rent paid to customers as well as those costs associated with installing and servicing equipment and costs of collecting, counting, and depositing facilities management revenue. Cost of facilities management revenue increased by $381, or less than 1%, to $52,796 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $52,415 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. As a percentage of facilities management revenue, cost of facilities management revenue was 67%, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Laundry facilities management rent increased 0.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the corresponding period in 2010, directly attributable to the increase in facilities management revenue. Laundry facilities management rent as a percentage of laundry facilities management revenue was 47.7% and 47.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Laundry facilities management rent can be affected by new and renewed laundry leases, lease portfolios acquired and by other factors such as the amount of incentive payments and laundry room betterments invested in new or renewed laundry leases. As we vary the amount invested in a facility, the laundry facilities management rent, as a function of laundry facilities

Table of Contents

management revenue, can vary. Other costs of laundry facilities management revenue increased by $160 to $15,042 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $14,882 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The change is attributable to general cost increases with no one category accounting for a significant percent of the increase.

Depreciation and amortization related to operations. Depreciation and amortization related to operations decreased by $120, or 1%, to $11,031 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $11,151 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 is attributable to the Company’s decision, in the past two years, to closely manage capital investment in light of the recent uncertain economy. The fact that much of the equipment we acquired as part of acquisitions we made in recent years was assigned a shorter average life than that assigned to new capital investment and is now fully depreciated has also contributed to lower depreciation expense.

Cost of laundry equipment sales. Cost of commercial laundry equipment sales consists primarily of the cost of laundry equipment, and parts and supplies sold, as well as salaries, warehousing and distribution expenses. Cost of commercial laundry equipment sales increased by $25, or 1%, to $2,577 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $2,552 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. As a percentage of sales, cost of product sold was 83% and 84% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The gross margin in the commercial laundry equipment sales business unit was 17% and 16% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The fluctuation in gross margins is primarily due to a change in the mix of products sold and local and regional competitive factors.

Operating expenses

General and administration, sales and marketing, related depreciation and amortization, and incremental proxy costs. General and administration, sales and marketing, related depreciation and amortization, and incremental proxy costs increased by $403, or 5%, to $8,905 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $8,502 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. As a percentage of total revenue, these expenses were 11% and 10% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to March 31, 2010 is the net of higher personnel related expenses and lower business insurance and professional fees.

Gain on sale of assets

The gains of $92 and $35 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are from the sale of vehicles and other fixed assets in the normal course of business.

Income from continuing operations

Income from continuing operations increased by $158, or 2%, to $7,076 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $6,918 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 due primarily to the cumulative effect of the reasons discussed above.

Interest expense, including the change in the fair value of non-hedged derivative instruments

Interest expense, including the change in the fair value of non-hedged derivative instruments, decreased by $529, or 13%, to $3,598 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $4,127 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease is due to lower outstanding debt balances, the $8,000 reduction in debt from the proceeds of the February 5, 2010 sale of Intirion Corporation, and the interest savings achieved from the fixed to floating interest rate interest rate swap agreement we entered into during the first quarter of 2010. This decrease was partially offset by the unrealized loss on interest rate contracts which do not qualify for hedge accounting. Interest expense, excluding the change in fair value of non-hedged derivative instruments, was $3,233 and $3,885 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of $652 or 17%.

One of our interest rate Swap Agreements qualifies as a cash flow hedge while the others do not. The change in the fair value of the interest rate Swap Agreements that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment is recognized in the income statement in the period in which the change occurs. The effective portion of the interest rate Swap Agreement that qualifies for hedge accounting is included in Other

Comprehensive Loss in the period in which change occurs, while the ineffective portion, if any, is recognized in income in the period in which the change occurs.

During the first quarter of 2010 the Company no longer qualified for hedge accounting treatment for one of its interest rate swap agreements. Accordingly, the amount included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss at the time hedge accounting was lost must be reclassified as an earnings charge through the maturity date of the derivative. This charge amounted to $147 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $671 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The remaining balance of $453 associated with this interest rate swap, and included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, will be charged against income through the maturity date of the interest rate swap agreement on April 1, 2013.

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes increased by $93 to $1,412 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to of $1,319 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase is the result of the pre-tax income of $3,478 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the pre-tax income of $2,791 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The effective tax rate decreased to 40.6% from 47% for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. The decrease in the effective rate is the result of increased pre-tax income while permanent tax differences remained substantially unchanged in the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Income from continuing operations, net

As a result of the foregoing, income from continuing operations, net increased by $594 to $2,066 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $1,472 for the same period ended March 31, 2010.

Income from discontinued operations, net

Income from discontinued operations, net, excluding loss on disposal was $44 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The Company sold its MicroFridge®( Intirion Corporation) business on February 5, 2010.

Seasonality

We experience moderate seasonality as a result of our operations in the college and university market. Revenues derived from the college and university market represented approximately 13% of our total laundry facilities management revenue. Academic facilities management and rental revenues are derived substantially during the school year in the first, second and fourth calendar quarters. Conversely, our operating and capital expenditures have historically been higher during the third calendar quarter when we install a large amount of equipment while colleges and universities are generally on summer break.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Dollars in thousands)

We believe that we can satisfy our working capital requirements and funding of capital needs with internally generated cash flow and, as necessary, borrowings from our revolving credit facility described below. Capital requirements for the year ending December 31, 2011, including contract incentive payments, are currently expected to be between $33,000 and $36,000. In the three months ended March 31, 2011, spending on capital expenditures and contract incentives totaled $8,124. The capital expenditures for 2011 are primarily composed of laundry equipment installed in connection with new customer leases and the renewal of existing leases.

We historically have not needed sources of financing other than our internally generated cash flow and revolving credit facilities to fund our working capital, capital expenditures and smaller acquisitions. As a result, we anticipate that our cash flow from operations and revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, we may require external sources of financing for any significant future acquisitions. Further, our senior secured credit facilities mature in April 2013 and our senior notes mature in August 2015. We anticipate that we will need to refinance some portion of our indebtedness or otherwise amend the terms when they reach maturity.

Our current long-term liquidity needs are principally the repayment of the outstanding principal amounts of our long-term indebtedness, including borrowings under our senior credit facility and our senior notes. We are unable to project with certainty whether our long-term cash flow from operation will be sufficient to repay our long-term debt when it comes due. In particular, our senior secured credit agreement matures in April, 2013

Table of Contents

and our senior unsecured notes mature in August, 2015. We anticipate that we will need to refinance some portion of this indebtedness when it reaches maturity. We cannot make any assurances that such financing would be available on reasonable terms, if at all.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, our source of cash was from operating activities. Our primary uses of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were the purchase of new laundry equipment, the reduction of debt, and the payments of dividends. We anticipate that we will continue to use cash flows provided by operating activities to finance working capital needs, debt service, and capital expenditures.

Our senior secured credit agreement (the “Secured Credit Agreement”) provides that we may borrow up to $151,000 in the aggregate, including $21,000 pursuant to a Term Loan and up to $130,000 pursuant to a Revolver. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $750 at the end of each calendar quarter through December 31, 2012, with the remaining principal balance of $15,750 due on April 1, 2013. The Secured Credit Agreement also provides for Bank of America, N. A. to make swingline loans to us of up to $10,000 (the “Swingline Loans”) and any Swingline Loans will reduce the borrowings available under the Revolver. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the Secured Credit Agreement gives the Company the option to establish additional term and/or revolving credit facilities thereunder, provided that the aggregate commitments under the Secured Credit Agreement cannot exceed $220,000.

Borrowings outstanding under the Secured Credit Agreement bear interest at a fluctuating rate equal to (i) in the case of Eurodollar rate loans, the LIBOR rate (adjusted for statutory reserves) plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% per annum (currently 2.00%), determined by reference to our senior secured leverage ratio, and (ii) in the case of base rate loans and Swingline Loans, the higher of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or (b) the annual rate of interest announced by Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate,” in each case, plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 1.00% to 1.50% per annum (currently 1.00%), determined by reference to our senior secured leverage ratio.

The obligations under the Secured Credit Agreement are guaranteed by our subsidiaries and collateralized by (i) a pledge of 100% of the ownership interests in the subsidiaries, and (ii) a first-priority security interest in substantially all our tangible and intangible assets.

Under the Secured Credit Agreement, we are subject to customary lending covenants, including restrictions pertaining to, among other things: (i) the incurrence of additional indebtedness, (ii) limitations on liens, (iii) making distributions, dividends and other payments, (iv) the making of certain investments and loans, (v) mergers, consolidations and acquisitions, (vi) dispositions of assets, (vii) the maintenance of a maximum total leverage ratio of not greater than 4.25 to 1.00, a maximum senior secured leverage ratio of not greater than 2.50 to 1.00, and a minimum consolidated cash flow coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00, (viii) transactions with affiliates, and (ix) changes to governing documents and subordinate debt documents, in each case subject to baskets, exceptions and thresholds. We were in compliance with these and all other financial covenants at March 31, 2011.

In the event of an event of default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the requisite number of lenders under the Secured Credit Agreement must, terminate the lenders’ commitments to make loans under the Secured Credit Agreement and declare all obligations under the Secured Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. For certain events of default related to bankruptcy, insolvency and receivership, the commitments of the lenders will be automatically terminated and all of our outstanding obligations under the Secured Credit Agreement will become immediately due and payable.

We pay a commitment fee equal to a percentage of the actual daily unused portion of the Revolver under the Secured Credit Agreement. This percentage, currently 0.300% per annum, will be determined quarterly by reference to the senior secured leverage ratio and will range between 0.300% per annum and 0.500% per annum.

On August 16, 2005, we issued senior unsecured notes in the amount of $150,000. These notes bear interest at 7.625% payable semi-annually each February and August. A portion of the senior notes are tied to an interest rate swap agreement. After taking the swap agreement into effect, the average interest rates on the senior notes at March 31, 2010 and 2011 was 5.78% and 5.82%, respectively. The maturity date of the notes is August 15, 2015. The proceeds from the senior notes, less financing costs, were used to pay down senior bank debt. The market value of these notes approximates book value at March 31, 2011.

2011	102.542	%
2012	101.271	%
2013 and thereafter	100.000	%

As of March 31, 2011, we had not redeemed any of our senior notes.

The terms of the senior notes include customary covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions pertaining to: (i) incurrence of additional indebtedness and issuance of preferred stock, (ii) payment of dividends on or making of distributions in respect of capital stock or making certain other restricted payments or investments, (iii) entering into agreements that restrict distributions from restricted subsidiaries, (iv) sale or other disposition of assets, including capital stock of restricted subsidiaries, (v) transactions with affiliates, (vi) incurrence of liens, (vii) sale/leaseback transactions, and (viii) merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of our assets, in each case subject to numerous baskets, exceptions and thresholds. We were in compliance with these and all other financial covenants at March 31, 2011.

Operating Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, net cash flows provided by operating activities were $9,542 and $9,260, respectively. Cash flows from operations consists primarily of facilities management revenue and equipment sales, offset by the cost of facilities management revenues, cost of product sold, and general, administration, sales and marketing expenses. The most significant change to cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010 is a decrease in the change in accounts payable, accrued facilities management rent, accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Investing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, net cash flows (used in) provided by investing activities were ($7,031) and $5,769, respectively. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $7,187 and $2,629, respectively, primarily for the acquisition of laundry equipment for new and renewed lease locations. Cash flows of $8,274 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 provided by investing activities consist of the proceeds from the sale of Intirion Corporation.

Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, net cash flows used in financing activities were $2,166 and $17,851, respectively. Cash flows used in financing activities consist of net reductions in bank borrowings and for the three months ended March 31, 2010 include the $8,000 reduction in the Term Loan from the proceeds of the sale of Intirion Corporation and the payments of cash dividends. Cash flows provided by financing activities consist of proceeds from the exercise of options and the issuance of stock through the employee stock purchase program.

The Company has entered into standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association, or ISDA, interest rate Swap Agreements to manage the interest rate associated with our senior credit facilities. For a description of our interest rate Swap Agreements see “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT

MARKET RISK

We are exposed to a variety of risks, including changes in interest rates on some of our borrowings and the change in fuel prices. In the normal course of our business, we manage our exposure to these risks as described below. We do not engage in trading market-risk sensitive instruments for speculative purposes.

Interest rates

The table below provides information about our debt obligations that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. The fair market value of long-term debt approximates book value at March 31, 2011.

We have entered into standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association interest rate swap agreements to manage the interest rate associated with our debt. The interest rate Swap Agreements effectively convert a

Table of Contents

portion of our variable rate debt to a long-term fixed rate. Under these agreements, we receive a variable rate of LIBOR plus a markup and pay a fixed rate.

We have also entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage the interest rate associated with our senior unsecured notes. This interest rate swap agreement effectively converts a portion ($100 million) of our fixed rate senior unsecured notes to a variable rate. Under this agreement, we receive the fixed rate on our senior unsecured notes (7.625%) and pay a variable rate of LIBOR plus the applicable margin charged by the banks. This interest rate swap agreement has an associated call feature that allows the counterparty to terminate this agreement at their option.

In December 2010 we entered into a fuel commodity derivative to manage the fuel cost of our fleet of vehicles. The derivative is effective April 1, 2011 and expires December 31, 2011. The derivative has a monthly notional amount of 80,000 gallons from April 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 for a total notional amount of 720,000 gallons. We have a put price of $3.015 per gallon and a strike price of $3.50 per gallon. We recognized a non-cash unrealized gain of $279 on this fuel commodity derivative as a result of the change in the mark to market value for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

During the first quarter of 2010 we no longer qualified for hedge accounting treatment for one of our interest rate swap agreements. Accordingly, the amount included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss at the time the hedge accounting was lost must be reclassified as an earnings charge through the maturity date of the derivative. This charge amounted to $147 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $671 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The remaining balance of $453 associated with this interest rate swap and included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss will be charged against income through the maturity date of the interest rate swap agreement on April 1, 2013.

The table below outlines the details of each remaining interest rate Swap Agreement:

			Notional	Notional
	Original		Amount	Amount
Date of	Notional		Fixed/	March 31,		Expiration	Fixed
Origin	Amount		Amortizing	2011		Date	Rate

May 8, 2008	$	45,000	Amortizing	$	30,000	Apr 1, 2013	3.78	%
May 8, 2008	$	40,000	Amortizing	$	28,000	Apr 1, 2013	3.78	%
January 4, 2010	$	100,000	Fixed	$	100,000	Aug 15, 2015	7.63	%

In accordance with the interest rate Swap Agreements and on a quarterly basis, interest expense is calculated based on the floating 90-day LIBOR and the fixed rate. With regard to our floating to fixed rate interest rate swap agreements, if interest expense, as calculated, is greater based on the 90-day LIBOR, the financial institution pays the difference to us. If interest expense, as calculated, is greater based on the fixed rate we pay the difference to the financial institution. With regard to our fixed to floating rate interest rate swap agreement, if interest expense, as calculated, is greater based on the 90-day LIBOR, we pay the difference to the financial institution. If interest expense, as calculated, is greater based on the fixed rate, the financial institution pays the difference to us.

Depending on fluctuations in the LIBOR, our interest rate exposure and the related impact on interest expense and net cash flow may increase or decrease. The counter party to the interest rate Swap Agreements exposes us to credit loss in the event of non-performance; however, nonperformance is not anticipated. The fair value of an interest rate Swap Agreement is the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreement at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the credit worthiness of the

counter party. At March 31, 2011, the fair value of the interest rate Swap Agreements was a liability of $1,370. This amount has been included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
