DRYCLEAN USA Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note (1) - General: The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB related to interim
period financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements do not
include certain information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, the
accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The results
of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the
Company's financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1999. The June 30, 1999
balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements as of that date.
Note (2) - Basis of Presentation: On November 1, 1998, Steiner-Atlantic Corp.
("Steiner") was merged (the "Merger") with and into, and became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of, the Company. As a result of the Merger, the Company has added
Steiner's operations as a supplier of dry cleaning, industrial laundry equipment
and steam boilers to its own telecommunications operations as a manufacturer and
seller of telephone test sets and customer premise equipment.
On November 5,1999, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of
Incorporation pursuant to which, effective November 7, 1999, the Company's name
was changed from Metro-Tel Corp. to DRYCLEAN USA, Inc.
For financial accounting (but not corporate law) purposes, the Merger is treated
as a "reverse" acquisition of the Company by Steiner utilizing the "purchase"
method of accounting. As a result, all financial statements of the Company
included in reports filed by the Company following the Merger covering periods
prior to November 1, 1998 reflect only the results of operations, financial
position and cash flows of Steiner on a stand alone basis. All consolidated
financial statements of the Company for periods commencing November 1, 1998 in
addition include the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of
the Company's telecommunications operations from and after November 1, 1998.
Accordingly, the results for the nine month period ended March 31, 1999 include
only five months of operations of the telecommunications division.
Note (3) - Proforma Income Tax: Prior to November 1, 1998, Steiner was a
Subchapter S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), and accordingly, its shareholders, rather than it, were subject to
income taxation on Steiner's earnings. The proforma provision for income taxes
represents the provision for income taxes that would have been recorded had
Steiner been taxed under Subchapter C of the Code for the periods shown.
Note (4) - Earnings Per Common Share: In 1997, the FASB issued Statement No.
128, "Earnings per share." Statement No. 128 replaced the calculation of primary
and fully diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic
earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of stock options. Diluted
earnings per share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted
earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been
presented to conform to the Statement No. 128 requirements.
-6-
Note (5) - Segment Information: The Company's reportable segments are strategic
businesses that offer different products and services. They are managed
separately because each business requires different technology and marketing
strategies. The Company primarily evaluates the operating performance of its
segments based on the categories noted in the table below. The Company has no
sales between segments.
Financial information for the Company's business segments is as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR
PLAN OF OPERATION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
For the nine month period ended March 31, 2000, cash decreased by $347,546.
Operating activities provided cash of $695,746, of which $626,059 was generated
by net income and $98,229 and $3,641 was derived from non-cash expenses for
depreciation and amortization and from bad debts, respectively. Of the cash
generated by operating activities, $152,554 was used to support an increase in
accounts receivable, $27,759 was used to increase inventories and $30,883 was
used to increase prepaid expenses. Additional cash was generated by an increase
in accounts payables ($40,585) and the liability for income taxes payable
($140,048) offset in part by a decrease in customer deposits ($1,670). Investing
activities used cash of $733,292, primarily to fund the acquisition of the
worldwide rights to the name DRYCLEAN USA, along with existing franchise and
license agreements, for $550,000 and $91,341 for transaction costs. Cash of
$80,000 was used to acquire the rights to certain products already marketed by
Metro Tel under a royalty agreement and the balance of $11,951 was used to
purchase other capital assets. Financing activities used cash of $310,000 to
make required monthly installments of principal under the Company's term loan
($360,000) partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options
($50,000). The Company believes that its present cash, cash it expects to
generate from operations and cash available against its $2,250,000 line of
credit, will be sufficient to meet its operational needs.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
The results for the nine month period ended March 31, 1999 reflect the results
of drycleaning and laundry equipment and steam boiler supplier operations for
the full period along with five months of operations of the telecommunications
division. Both operations are fully included in the results for all of the other
reported periods.
Net sales for the nine and three month periods ended March 31, 2000 increased by
$278,706 (2.0%) and $238,745 (4.9%), respectively, when compared to the same
periods of fiscal 1999. The increase in sales for the nine month period was
principally due to the inclusion of the telecommunication operations for the
entire period compared to five months in the prior comparable period. For the
three month period in fiscal 2000, telecommunication operations sales increased
by 43.5% over the prior year's comparable period which offset a slight decrease
in the sales of Steiner (2.5%). Sales of new products and an increase in sales
of core telecommunication products accounted for the strong performance of the
telecommunication division over the comparable period of fiscal 1999.
Management fees, commissions and other income increased by $193,595 (49.5%) and
$83,331 (82.3%) for the nine and three month periods, respectively, in fiscal
2000 over the same periods of fiscal 1999. The increases in each fiscal 2000
period were mainly due to commissions and license fees generated by the
Company's new drycleaning brokerage and licensing subsidiaries which offset a
reduction in drycleaning management fees from an affiliated company.
Costs of goods sold, expressed as a percentage of sales, improved to 70.6% and
70.2% for the nine and three month periods, respectively, of fiscal 2000 from
74.2% and 73.5% for the comparable periods of fiscal 1999. The improvement in
the nine month period was mainly due to the inclusion of telecommunication
sales, which historically have a higher margin. The improvement in the three
month period was due to increased sales of the telecommunications division which
enabled it to better absorb fixed costs.
-8-
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $507,861 (18.4%) and
$207,147 (22.5%) for the nine and three month periods, respectively, in fiscal
2000 from the comparable periods of fiscal 1999. The increase in the nine month
period was attributed to the inclusion of the telecommunications division which
offset a reduction in this category of expenses at the commercial drycleaning
and laundry division caused by a decrease in executive compensation as a result
of the merger. For the three month period the increase was due to expenses
attributable to the new drycleaning brokerage and licensing subsidiaries which
offset a reduction in administrative expense in the telecommunications division.
Research and development expenses, which relate solely to telecommunications
operations, increased by $93,288 (88.6%) and $5,373 (8.4%) for the nine and
three month periods, respectively, over the same periods of a year ago mainly
due to the fact that only five months of telecommunication operations were
included in the nine month period ended March 31, 1999, while the increase for
the three month period was attributable to increased salaries.
Interest income decreased by $26,998 (56.1%) and $10,614 (63.9%) during the nine
and three month periods, respectively, of fiscal 2000 from the comparable
periods in fiscal 1999 as a result of fewer customer equipment leases (which
qualify as sales-type leases) being outstanding.
Interest expense decreased by $4,287 (3.3%) and $4,410 (9.9%) during the nine
and three month periods, respectively, of fiscal 2000 from the comparable
periods of fiscal 1999 due to a reduction in outstanding debt which was
partially offset by higher interest rates.
The provision for income taxes increased by $164,356 (65.0%) in the first nine
months of fiscal 2000 over the same period of fiscal 1999 because, for the first
four months of fiscal 1999, Steiner was a Subchapter S Corporation under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and accordingly its shareholders,
rather than it, were subject to income taxation on Steiner's earnings. (See Note
3.)

as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
