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 and collecting revenues generated from laundry machines. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, our route business represented approximately 89% 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 many 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 $543.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. We believe this makes us the industry’s 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, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $245.0 million and total stockholders’ equity of approximately $138.7 million. As of March 31, 2006, we had approximately $664.3 million in long-term debt.
 
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., which we refer to as “AWA.” AWA is a Delaware corporation that is jointly owned by us and Coinmach Corporation, a Delaware corporation which we refer to as “Coinmach Corp.” Coinmach Corp. is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of our direct wholly-owned subsidiary Coinmach Laundry Corporation, a Delaware corporation which we refer to as “Laundry Corp” or “CLC.” We also operate a laundry equipment distribution business through Super Laundry Equipment Corp., a Delaware corporation and our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, which we refer to as “Super Laundry.”
 
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 operators of payphones and 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 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 2.3 million of which have been outsourced to independent operators such as us and approximately 1.2 million of which continue to be operated by the owners of such locations, which we refer to as owner operators.
 
We believe the industry’s 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 industry’s 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 Operation
 
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 approximately 50% or more of their annual compensation. Selling commissions are based on a percentage of a location’s 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.
 
Our marketing strategy emphasizes excellent service offered by our experienced, highly-skilled personnel and quality equipment that maximizes efficiency and revenue and minimizes machine downtime. Our sales staff targets potential new and renewal lease locations by utilizing the integrated computer systems’ extensive database to provide information on our, as well as our competitors’ locations. Additionally, the integrated computer systems monitor performance, repairs and maintenance, as well as the profitability of locations on a

daily basis. All sales, service and installation data is recorded and monitored daily on a custom-designed, secured computerized sales planner.
 
No single customer represents more than 2% of our gross revenue, and our ten largest customers collectively account for less than 10% of our gross revenue.
 
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, 2006, based on number of machines, our leases had an average remaining life to maturity of approximately 51 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 or cellular equipped service vehicles and allow us to address customer needs quickly and efficiently.
 
In March 2006, we completed the first phase of the implementation of our national call center, service and dispatch system located in Dallas, Texas. In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, we expect to substantially complete the roll out of our newly integrated national call center, service and dispatch system to all of our regions. We believe this state of the art system is among the most advanced service and dispatch systems in the industry.

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 integrated 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.
 
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 secured 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.
 
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006, we completed a technology upgrade which we believe will increase efficiency in our customer service, dispatch, field services and collection system.
 
Remanufacturing
 
We rebuild and reinstall a portion of our machines at approximately one-third the cost of acquiring new machines. 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. AWA is the product of two platform acquisitions which were consummated in 1997 and 1998 in Georgia and Texas. As of March 31, 2006, we have organically grown AWA’s operations across 27 states. For

the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, revenue generated by AWA represented approximately 7% of our total revenue.
 
Distribution Operations
 
Super Laundry, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, is a laundromat equipment distribution company which was incorporated in 1995. Super Laundry’s 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 Laundry’s 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, 2006, revenue generated by Super Laundry represented approximately 5% of our total revenue.
 
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.
 
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 a provider with 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, 2006, we employed 1,989 employees. In the Northeast region, 113 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.
 
Laundry Corp., our direct wholly-owned subsidiary, was incorporated on March 31, 1995 under the name SAS Acquisitions Inc. in the State of Delaware and is the sole stockholder of all of the common stock of Coinmach Corp., our primary operating subsidiary. In November 1995, The Coinmach Corporation, a Delaware corporation and predecessor of Coinmach Corp., merged with and into Solon Automated Services, Inc., which we refer to as “Solon.” In connection with the merger with Solon, Laundry Corp. changed its name from SAS Acquisitions Inc., and Solon, the surviving corporation in the merger, changed its name to Coinmach Corporation.
 
The IDS Offering and Related Transactions
 
In November and December, 2004, we completed our initial public offering of 18,911,532 IDSs (including a partial overallotment exercise by the underwriters on December 21, 2004) and $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11% senior secured notes due 2024 (the “11% Senior Secured Notes”) sold separate and apart from the IDSs, which we refer to as the “IPO.” In connection with the IPO and the use of proceeds therefrom, we completed certain related transactions, which we refer to collectively as the “IDS Transactions.” As a result of the IDS Transactions, Holdings, became our controlling stockholder through its


5


Table of Contents

consolidated ownership of all of our Class B Common Stock, which is entitled to more votes per share than the Class A Common Stock. In addition, AWA became our wholly-owned indirect subsidiary and Laundry Corp. and its subsidiaries (including Coinmach Corp.) became our subsidiaries.
 
The Class A Common Stock Offering and Related Transactions
 
On February 8, 2006, we completed a public offering of 12,312,633 shares of Class A Common Stock (including a full overallotment exercise by the underwriters on February 17, 2006) at a price to the public of $9.00 per share which we refer to as the “Class A Offering”. In connection with the Class A Offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, we (i) completed the purchase of approximately $48.4 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 11% Senior Secured Notes pursuant to a tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) described in “Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Operating and Investing Activities”, which amount included payment of related fees and expenses, (ii) repurchased 2,199,413 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by an affiliate of GTCR — CLC, LLC at a repurchase price of $8.505 per share, or approximately $18.7 million in the aggregate, described in “Item 5 — Market Price of and Dividends on Our Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters — Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities”, (iii) repurchased 1,605,995 shares of Class B Common Stock held by certain directors and officers of CSC at a repurchase price of $8.505 per share, or approximately $13.7 million in the aggregate, and (iv) used remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes.
 
Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes permits us to merge with Laundry Corp. and Coinmach Corp. We refer to such potential mergers collectively as the “Merger Event.” While we presently do not intend to effect the Merger Event, if we were to satisfy these and other applicable conditions, we would be able to consummate the Merger Event in the future. We would become an operating company as well as the direct borrower under the amended and restated credit facility by and among Coinmach Corp., Laundry Corp., certain subsidiary guarantors, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as administrative agent and collateral agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, and certain other lending institutions which are a party thereto (the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”) and we would become sole owner of the capital stock of Coinmach Corp.’s subsidiaries.
 
Acquisition of American Sales, Inc.
 
On April 3, 2006, we completed the acquisition of American Sales, Inc. (“ASI”) for a purchase price ranging from $13.7 to $15.0 million, subject to the outcome of certain purchase price adjustments. ASI is a leading laundry service provider to colleges and universities in the mid-west, with 40 years of experience and more than 45 partner schools. We plan to combine ASI’s strength in the college market with our national footprint to develop a national campus laundry solutions platform.

  •  risks associated with expansion of our business through “tuck-ins” and other acquisitions and integration of acquired operations into our existing business;
 
  •  as a holding company, our dependence on cash flow from our operating subsidiaries to make payments under the 11% Senior Secured Notes;
 
  •  the risk of adverse tax consequences should the 11% Senior Secured Notes not be respected as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

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 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.

Item 1A.   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, and the trading price of our IDSs or Class A Common Stock could decline.
 
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 $24.6 million and $35.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 (“2006 Fiscal Year”) and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 (“2005 Fiscal Year”), respectively. These losses have resulted from a variety of costs including, but not limited to, non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization of tangible and 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 management’s 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.
 
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

Table of Contents

expanding our machine base for the 2006 Fiscal Year were approximately $69.3 million (excluding approximately $3.4 million relating to acquisition capital expenditures and payments of approximately $4.7 million relating to capital lease obligations) and for the 2005 Fiscal Year were approximately $70.3 million (excluding approximately $0.6 million relating to acquisitions and approximately $4.3 million relating to capital lease payments). 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 dividend policy may negatively impact our ability to finance our working capital requirements, capital expenditures or operations.
 
Further to our dividend policy, since the completion of the IPO, our board of directors has distributed to holders of our common stock substantially all of the cash generated by our business in excess of operating needs and amounts needed to service our indebtedness. If, as expected, we maintain our dividend policy and rate of cash dividend payments, 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. 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 we do not have sufficient cash for these purposes, our financial condition and our business will suffer.
 
Our business could be adversely affected by the loss of one or more of our key personnel.
 
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 management’s 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 any liability under environmental laws and regulations that could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.
 
Recently enacted federal legislation concerning energy and water efficiency standards on commercial clothes washers could require a significant increase in our capital expenditures and consequently reduce our profit margins.
 
Pursuant to recent amendments to the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, commercial clothes washers manufactured after January 1, 2007 will be subject to certain federal energy and water efficiency standards. We have been informed by certain manufacturers that washers not compliant with such standards may be able to be modified without a material increase in cost in order to meet such standards.
 
However, if manufacturers are unable to make such modifications without material cost increases or at all, 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. 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 from operations would be materially adversely affected.
 
Risks Relating to Our Securities
 
We have substantial indebtedness which could restrict our ability to pay interest and principal on the 11% Senior Secured Notes and to pay dividends with respect to the shares of the Class A Common Stock and the shares of Class B Common Stock and could adversely affect our financing options and liquidity position.
 
We have now, and will continue to have, a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of March 31, 2006, we had total indebtedness of approximately $664.3 million, and an additional $75.0 million (or $68.2 million after letters of credit) available for borrowing under the revolver portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility.
 
Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences. For example, our substantial indebtedness could:
 
  •  make it more difficult for us to pay dividends on our common stock;
 
  •  reduce or eliminate your ability to recover any of your investment in any bankruptcy proceedings involving us;
 
  •  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;
 
  •  limit our ability to raise cash through the issuance of additional securities;


10


Table of Contents

  •  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 separate 11% Senior Secured Notes or additional IDSs or from borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. While the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and the terms of the Intercompany Note (as defined herein) will limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, those limitations are subject to a number of exceptions. Furthermore, we may enter into future financing arrangements. Any additional indebtedness incurred by us could increase the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.
 
The holders of IDSs and common stock may not receive the level of dividends provided for in the dividend policy that our board of directors adopted or any dividends at all.
 
We expect to continue to pay quarterly dividends on our Class A Common Stock at the rate set forth in our current dividend policy. However, our board of directors may, in its discretion, amend or repeal our dividend policy. Our board of directors may decrease the level of dividends provided for in the dividend policy or entirely discontinue the payment of dividends. Dividend payments are not required or guaranteed, and holders of our common stock do not have any legal right to receive or require the payment of dividends. Future dividends, if any, with respect to shares of our capital stock will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition and contractual restrictions, and our ability to generate cash from our operations, which in turn is dependent on our ability to attract and retain customers and our ability to service our debt obligations and capital expenditures requirements. See “Item 5 — Market Price of and Dividends on Our Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities — Dividends — Restrictions on Dividend Payments.” Other factors, including the pursuit of new business strategies or opportunities, increased regulatory compliance costs or lease renewal costs, changes in our competitive environment and changes in tax treatment of our debt, may also reduce cash available for dividends.
 
Subject to certain limitations, we may redeem all or part of our outstanding Class B Common Stock. Any purchase by us of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock will reduce cash available for Class A Common Stock dividend payments. In the fourth quarter of the 2006 Fiscal Year, we repurchased 2,199,413 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,605,995 shares of Class B Common Stock with proceeds from the Class A Offering. See “Item 5 — Market Price of and Dividends on Our Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities — Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.”
 
Due to our currently contemplated cash uses, including dividend payments, we do not expect to retain enough cash from operations to be able to pay our outstanding indebtedness when it matures or when principal payments (other than regularly scheduled amortization payments under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility) on such indebtedness otherwise becomes due. Therefore, cash available for dividends will be reduced when such payments are required, unless such indebtedness is refinanced prior to such time. See “Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Future Capital Needs and Resources.”
 
In addition, any future issuances of Class A Common Stock, including but not limited to issuances pursuant to our existing benefit plans, will increase the number of outstanding Class A common stock shares and consequently make it more difficult for us to pay dividends on the Class A Common Stock at the dividend


11


Table of Contents

rate set forth in our dividend policy. As of February 15, 2006, 88,889 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock had been awarded to certain executive officers and directors and employees under our benefit plans. See “Item 5 — Market Price of and Dividends on Our Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities — Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans.”
 
The earliest that the subordination of payment of any cash dividends on the Class B Common Stock may terminate is the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, and all shares of Class B Common Stock will then be equally entitled to cash dividend payments with all shares of Class A Common Stock, subject to the Class B Common Stock step up dividend right described below. Therefore, any cash set aside for dividends will have to be shared by the holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on a pro rata basis. Since under these circumstances less cash will be available to the holders of Class A Common Stock, we may be forced to reduce cash dividends on the Class A Common Stock.
 
Following the termination of the subordination provisions, each share of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to a step up dividend of 105% of the aggregate amount of dividends declared on each share of Class A Common Stock for the four fiscal quarters occurring during any fiscal year ending after March 31, 2007 (unless, solely with respect to the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, the Subordination Termination Conditions have not been satisfied with respect to such fiscal year). Any excess payments in cash will reduce cash available for future Class A Common Stock dividend payments, which may force us to reduce such Class A Common Stock dividend payments.
 
Furthermore, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, the Intercompany Note and the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes contain limitations on Coinmach Corp.’s ability to pay dividends. In addition, any financing arrangements we may enter into in the future, may contain further limitations. You may not receive the level of dividends provided for in our dividend policy or any dividends at all.
 
Delaware law also restricts our ability to pay dividends. Under Delaware law, our board of directors and the boards of directors of our corporate subsidiaries may declare dividends only to the extent of our “surplus,” which is total assets at current value minus total liabilities at current value (as each may be determined in good faith by our board of directors), minus statutory capital, or if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.
 
There is no active trading market for our debt-only securities, which could prevent us from issuing debt-only securities and may limit our ability to obtain future financing.
 
If we are unable to issue additional IDSs, we may be forced to rely on the sale of debt-only or equity-only securities as an additional source of capital. However, the absence of a liquid market for separate notes may make the issuance by us of separate notes relatively less appealing, limiting our ability to obtain debt-only financing on reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to raise capital through a debt-only financing, we may be forced to enter into more costly financing arrangements in order to fund working capital and capital expenditures and otherwise service our liquidity needs.
 
We are a holding company with no direct operations, and therefore our ability to make payments under the 11% Senior Secured Notes or declare and distribute dividends on the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock depends on cash flow from our subsidiaries.
 
We are a holding company with no operations. Consequently, we will depend on distributions or other intercompany transfers from our subsidiaries (including payments under the intercompany loan from Coinmach Corp.) to make interest and principal payments on the 11% Senior Secured Notes and to pay dividends on the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. In addition, distributions and intercompany transfers to us from our subsidiaries will depend on:
 
  •  their earnings;
 
  •  covenants contained in our and their debt agreements, including the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes;


12


Table of Contents

 
  •  covenants contained in other agreements to which we or our subsidiaries are or may become subject;
 
  •  business and tax considerations; and
 
  •  applicable law, including laws regarding the payment of dividends and distributions.
 
Restrictions on Coinmach Corp.’s ability to pay dividends contained in the indenture governing the Amended and Restated Credit Facility are different, and potentially more restrictive, than the restrictions on our ability to pay dividends contained in the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes. Therefore, circumstances may arise where, although we would be permitted to pay dividends under the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes, Coinmach Corp. would be unable to provide us with the cash to actually pay such dividends as well as interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes. We cannot give assurance that the operating results of our subsidiaries will be sufficient to make distributions or other payments to us or that any distributions and/or payments will be adequate to pay any amounts due under the 11% Senior Secured Notes or the amounts intended under our dividend policy.
 
Restrictive covenants in our current and future indebtedness could adversely restrict our operating flexibility.
 
The indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes contains covenants that restrict our ability, as well as the ability of our restricted subsidiaries, 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.
 
In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and the Intercompany Note contain, and the terms of any other indebtedness that we or our subsidiaries may enter into (including any future financing arrangements) 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 such indebtedness. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility (and the Intercompany Note) prohibit Coinmach Corp. and its subsidiaries (including AWA, as a guarantor under such credit facility), from making certain distributions in respect of its capital stock while a default or an event of default is outstanding thereunder. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility or holders of the 11% Senior Secured Notes, as applicable, could proceed against the security granted to them to secure that indebtedness. If the lenders or holders of the 11% Senior Secured Notes accelerated the payment of their indebtedness, our assets may not be sufficient to repay in full our indebtedness, which could prevent you from recovering some or all of your investment in the Class A Common Stock.

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 will be required to obtain such capital from additional borrowings or other sources, including:
 
  •  sales of certain assets to meet our debt service requirements;
 
  •  sales of equity; and
 
  •  negotiations with our lenders to restructure the applicable debt.
 
If we cannot satisfy our cash requirements, our growth, financial condition and results of operations could suffer.
 
Additionally, our after-tax cash flow available for dividend payments would be reduced if the 11% Senior Secured Notes were treated by the Internal Revenue Service, or the “IRS,” as equity rather than debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In that event, the stated interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes could be treated as a dividend, and interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes would not be deductible by us for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our inability to deduct interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes could materially increase our taxable income and, thus, our U.S. federal and applicable state income tax liability. This could reduce our after-tax cash flow and materially adversely affect our ability to pay dividends on the Class A Common Stock.
 
Voting control of us by Holdings may prevent the holders of IDSs from receiving a premium in the event of a change of control and may create conflicts of interest.
 
As of March 31, 2006, Holdings was in control of approximately 62% of our voting power and therefore exerts substantial control over our business and over matters submitted to our stockholders for approval. Such voting control could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, merger or tender offer of us, which would deprive our security holders of an opportunity to receive a premium for our securities and may negatively affect the market price of such securities. Moreover, Holdings could effectively receive a premium for transferring ownership to third parties that would not inure to the benefit of the other holders of our securities.
 
The interests of the equity investors in Holdings (which equity investors include our management and certain of our directors) may conflict with the interests of other holders of our securities. For example, if we encounter financial difficulties or are unable to pay our debts as they mature, the interests of these parties as indirect holders of equity might conflict with the interests of a holder of the 11% Senior Secured Notes. These parties also may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their equity investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to the holders of the 11% Senior Secured Notes.
 
We will not be able to deduct interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes if the 11% Senior Secured Notes are not respected as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
Our after-tax cash flow available for dividend payments would be reduced if the 11% Senior Secured Notes were treated by the IRS, as equity rather than debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In that event, the stated interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes could be treated as a dividend, and interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes would not be deductible by us for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our inability to deduct interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes could materially increase our taxable income and, thus,

our U.S. federal and applicable state income tax liability. This could reduce our after-tax cash flow and materially adversely affect our ability to pay dividends on the Class A Common Stock.
 
The separate public trading markets for IDSs and shares of Class A Common Stock, and the ability to separate and create IDSs, may diminish the value of your investment in IDSs or separately held shares of Class A Common Stock, as the case may be.
 
Our IDSs and shares of Class A Common Stock not held in the form of IDSs are separately listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”). An IDS holder may separate its IDSs into shares of Class A Common Stock and 11% Senior Secured Notes at any time. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events IDSs will automatically and, in some cases, permanently, separate. Conversely, subject to limitations, a holder of separate shares of Class A Common Stock and 11% Senior Secured Notes can combine such securities to form IDSs. Separation and creation of IDSs will automatically result in increases and decreases, respectively, in the number of IDSs and shares of Class A Common Stock not in the form of IDSs.
 
We cannot predict what effect separate trading markets in IDSs and separately held shares of Class A Common Stock, or fluctuations in the number of such securities outstanding, will have on the value of such securities. If the value of separately held shares of Class A Common Stock is deemed to be less than the value of the same security underlying an IDS, creation of IDSs by combining such separate shares with any then available 11% Senior Secured Notes may become more attractive. Conversely, if the value of an IDS is deemed to be less than the value of its components, separation of IDSs may become more attractive.
 
Any reduction in the number of either IDSs or separately held shares of Class A Common Stock would decrease the liquidity for the remaining outstanding IDSs or shares of Class A Common Stock (as the case may be), which could further diminish the value of such securities. Furthermore, if the number of either of such securities outstanding falls below the minimum required for listing on the American Stock Exchange, such securities may be delisted from such exchange.
 
If we have insufficient cash flow to cover dividend payments under our dividend policy or to make such payments in compliance with our and our subsidiaries’ outstanding indebtedness, we will need to reduce or eliminate dividends or, to the extent permitted under our debt agreements, fund a portion of our dividends with additional borrowings.
 
Our dividend policy contemplates the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of approximately $0.20615 per share of Class A Common Stock and subject to certain subordination provisions and other limitations, an annual dividend on shares of our Class B Common Stock. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility we are required to satisfy various financial maintenance covenants in order to pay dividends, including a requirement that our EBITDA equals or exceeds certain specified minimum amounts over specified periods, which amounts may exceed the amounts necessary to pay cash dividends on our common stock pursuant to our dividend policy. In addition, in order to pay dividends on our common stock, we are also required to satisfy certain covenants under the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes.
 
If we are not able to satisfy the financial and other covenants in our debt agreements or otherwise generate sufficient funds to pay dividends on our common stock pursuant to our dividend policy, we may be required to do one or more of the following: (i) reduce our capital expenditures, (ii) fund capital expenditures or other costs and expenses with borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, (iii) evaluate other funding alternatives, such as capital markets transactions, refinancing or restructuring our consolidated indebtedness, asset sales, or financing from third parties, or (iv) seek an amendment, waiver or other modification from requisite lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, holders of the 11% Senior Secured Notes and lenders under any financing arrangements entered into by us to the extent applicable restrictions contained in the terms of such indebtedness precluded us from making such dividends. Additional sources of funds may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all or may not be permitted pursuant to the terms of our existing indebtedness.
 
Furthermore, if we failed to satisfy any financial maintenance or other covenant, we would be required to seek an amendment, waiver or other modification from the requisite lenders under the Amended and Restated

Table of Contents

Credit Facility to waive any resulting default. If we were to use working capital or permanent borrowings to fund dividends, we would have less cash and/or borrowing capacity available for future dividends and other purposes, which could negatively impact our future liquidity, our ability to adapt to changes in our industry and our ability to expand our business. In addition to any of the foregoing options that may be available to us, our board of directors may at any time and in its absolute discretion reduce the level of dividends provided for in our dividend policy or eliminate such dividends entirely.
 
Future sales or the possibility of future sales of a substantial amount of shares of Class A Common Stock or IDSs may depress the price of IDSs or shares of Class A Common Stock.
 
Future sales or the availability for sale of substantial amounts of shares of Class A Common Stock or IDSs in the public market could adversely affect the prevailing market price of IDSs or shares of Class A Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through future sales of our securities.
 
We may issue shares of our Class A Common Stock, which may or may not be in the form of IDSs, or other securities from time to time as consideration for future acquisitions and investments. In the event any such acquisition or investment is significant, the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock, which may be in the form of IDSs, or the number or aggregate principal amount, as the case may be, of other securities that we may issue may in turn be significant. In addition, we may also grant registration rights covering those IDSs, shares of Class A Common Stock, or other securities in connection with any such acquisitions and investments.
 
From time to time our employees may be granted equity-based performance incentives pursuant to our existing benefit plans, which might include the issuance of new shares of Class A Common Stock or IDSs. New issuances of Class A Common Stock or IDSs under such plans would have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share, and could reduce the fair market value of IDSs or Class A Common Stock. As of February 15, 2006, 88,889 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock had been awarded to certain executive officers and directors and employees under our benefit plans. See “Item 5 — Market Price of and Dividends on our Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities — Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans.”
 
Any sales or distributions of shares of our Class A Common Stock or IDSs would dilute our earnings per share and the voting power of each share of common stock outstanding prior to such sale or distribution, and could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our IDSs and Class A Common Stock. As a result you could experience a significant loss in the value of your investment.

Dividends
 
Pursuant to a dividend policy that was adopted by our board of directors in connection with the public offering of our Class A Common Stock in February 2006, we intend to declare and pay regular quarterly dividends on the Class A Common Stock and dividends no more frequently than annually on the Class B Common Stock, as described below. Cash generated by us in excess of operating needs, interest and principal payments on indebtedness, and capital expenditures sufficient to maintain our properties and other assets would under this policy generally be available for distribution as regular cash dividends. This policy reflects our judgment that our stockholders would be better served if we distributed our available cash to them instead

of retaining it in our business. Dividends, however, are payable at the discretion of our board of directors. Even though we adopted a dividend policy, nothing requires us to pay dividends. Holders of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock may not receive any dividends for a number of reasons, including but not limited to those noted below:
 
  •  although the dividend policy we adopted contemplates the distribution of our excess cash, this policy can be modified or revoked at any time;
 
  •  even if our dividend policy is not modified or revoked, the actual amount of dividends distributed under the policy and the decision to make any distribution is entirely at the discretion of our board of directors;
 
  •  the amount of dividends distributed is subject to state law restrictions;
 
  •  there is no legal, contractual or other requirement that we pay dividends in the amounts stated, or at all, and the dividends are neither mandatory nor guaranteed;
 
  •  we may not have enough cash to pay dividends due to changes in our operating income, working capital requirements, anticipated cash needs, and borrowing capacity (including as a result of borrowings to fund prior dividend payments); and
 
  •  the payment of dividends is subject to covenant restrictions in documents or agreements governing our indebtedness, including (i) the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes, which contains a restricted payments covenant that limits our ability to pay dividends; and (ii) the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, which requires us to, among other things, meet quarterly financial maintenance tests.
 
The covenant described above in the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes relating to restrictions on our ability to pay dividends permits quarterly dividend payments for the life of the notes in an amount equal to the difference between our distributable cash flow and our consolidated interest expense, so long as we satisfy an interest coverage test for the preceding fiscal quarter and no default is continuing. The interest coverage test has the following elements:
 
  •  our consolidated interest expense must be less than 90% of our distributable cash flow;
 
  •  we and our restricted subsidiaries must also have cash or borrowings available in excess of reasonably anticipated consolidated interest expense on outstanding indebtedness and on indebtedness we intend to incur for the two subsequent fiscal quarters; and
 
  •  we must have amounts available or owed to us from our restricted subsidiaries sufficient to make cash interest payments on our indebtedness, including the notes, during the two subsequent fiscal quarters and on indebtedness that we intend to incur during the two subsequent fiscal quarters.
 
Dividend payments on the Class A Common Stock will be payable in respect of the completed fiscal quarter immediately preceding a payment date.
 
On February 9, 2006, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20615 per share of Class A Common Stock (or approximately $6.0 million in the aggregate), which cash dividend was paid on March 1, 2006 to holders of record as of the close of business on February 27, 2006 (including holders of Class A Common Stock sold in the Class A Offering). On May 10, 2006, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20615 per share on the Class A Common Stock, and a cash dividend of $0.53477 per share on the Class B Common Stock for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, in each case payable to holders of record on May 25, 2006. We paid the dividends on June 1, 2006.
 
We intend to continue to pay dividends on the Class A Common Stock on each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 to holders of record as of the preceding February 25, May 25, August 25 and November 25, respectively, in each case with respect to the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. We also intend to pay dividends on the Class B Common Stock on each June 1 to holders of record as of the preceding May 25 with respect to the immediately preceding fiscal year, subject to the limitations described below.

Prior to the IPO, we did not pay any dividends on the Class A Common Stock or the Class B Common Stock.
 
Subordination of Class B Common Stock Dividends
 
Fiscal Years Ending On or Prior to March 31, 2007
 
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the rights of holders of shares of Class B Common Stock to receive cash dividends for any fiscal year ending on or prior to March 31, 2007 are subordinated to the rights of holders of shares of Class A Common Stock to receive cash dividends for the same period.
 
We paid on June 1, 2006 cash dividends on each share of Class B Common Stock for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 equal to the cash dividends paid contemporaneously on each share of Class A Common Stock for such fiscal quarter and fiscal year, respectively, aggregating to an amount not to exceed $12.5 million as set forth in our dividend policy. We intend to pay on June 1, 2007 cash dividends on each share of Class B Common Stock for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 equal to the cash dividends paid or to be paid contemporaneously on each share of Class A Common Stock for such fiscal year up to an aggregate amount not exceeding $10.0 million, so long as cash dividends for such fiscal year have been or will contemporaneously be paid to holders of shares of Class A Common Stock in an aggregate amount at least equal to the dividend rate set forth in our dividend policy.
 
Fiscal Years Ending After March 31, 2007
 
Under our certificate of incorporation, the rights of holders of shares of Class B Common Stock to receive cash dividends with respect to the fiscal years ending March 31, 2008 and 2009 will, under the conditions described below, be subordinated to the rights of holders of shares of Class A Common Stock to receive cash dividends. In no event will the subordination requirement apply to any fiscal year thereafter. However, subject to the limitations described below, shares of Class B Common Stock will not be entitled to receive dividends for any such fiscal year unless dividends are also declared and paid on shares of Class A Common Stock for such fiscal year.
 
If we pay cash dividends on the Class A Common Stock with respect to any fiscal year ending after March 31, 2007, we are required to pay on June 1 immediately following such fiscal year cash dividends on each share of Class B Common Stock for such fiscal year equal to the cash dividends paid or to be contemporaneously paid on each share of Class A Common Stock for such fiscal year, provided that if the Subordination Termination Conditions (as defined below) are not met for such fiscal year, no such cash dividends may be paid on the Class B Common Stock with respect to such fiscal year unless (i) cash dividends for such fiscal year will contemporaneously be paid to holders of shares of Class A Common Stock in an aggregate amount at least equal to the dividend rate set forth in our initial dividend policy and (ii) the aggregate amount of cash dividends paid on all the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock for such fiscal year does not exceed $10.0 million.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding paragraph, following the satisfaction of the Subordination Termination Conditions for any fiscal year to which such Subordination Termination Provisions apply, the cash dividends payable on each share of the Class B Common Stock shall be equal to 105% of the aggregate amount of dividends payable on each share of Class A Common Stock for such fiscal year and the Subordination Termination Conditions shall be deemed to have been satisfied for such fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter.
 
The “Subordination Termination Conditions” are only applicable to the fiscal years ending March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, and will not be satisfied with respect to such fiscal year if either (i) our consolidated EBITDA (generally defined as earnings from continuing operations before deductions for interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization) for such fiscal year was less than $165.0 million or (ii) the ratio of (x) our consolidated indebtedness on the last day of such fiscal year minus the amount, as of such day, of cash and cash equivalents held by us and our consolidated subsidiaries in excess of $25.0 million to (y) our


20


Table of Contents

consolidated EBITDA for such fiscal year was greater than 4.5 to 1.0, provided, that if the Subordination Termination Conditions is satisfied with respect to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, then the Subordination Termination Conditions shall be deemed to have been satisfied for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 regardless of whether we would satisfy the Subordination Termination Conditions for such year without giving effect to this proviso.
 
Holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock may at any time, voting as a single class, waive the rights of all holders of shares of Class B Common Stock to all or any portion of cash dividends to which they are entitled.
 
Restrictions on Dividend Payments
 
There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay dividends at the levels set forth in our dividend policy, or at all. Dividend payments are not mandatory or guaranteed, are within the absolute discretion of our board of directors and will be dependent upon many factors and future developments that could differ materially from our expectations. See “Item 1 — Business — Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Securities — The holders of IDSs and common stock may not receive the level of dividends provided for in the dividend policy that our board of directors adopted or any dividends at all.”
 
Our ability to pay dividends on shares of our capital stock depends on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition and contractual restrictions, including but not limited to the terms of the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes. Our ability to generate cash from our operations, which in turn is dependent on our ability to attract and retain customers and our ability to service our debt obligations and capital expenditures requirements, is a significant factor affecting the amount of cash available for dividends. Other factors, including the pursuit of new business strategies or opportunities, increased regulatory compliance costs or lease renewal costs, changes in our competitive environment and changes in tax treatment of our debt, may also reduce cash available for dividends.
 
Capital expenditures related to the maintenance of our operations are intended to sustain the current service capacity and efficiency of our operations and primarily consist of machine expenditures (including machine replacements), advance location payments and laundry room improvements. Our customer contracts typically mature each year at a consistent rate. Therefore, our capital expenditures for maintenance of our machine base have generally been predictable and recurring in nature and without significant fluctuation. On an annual basis, we do not expect capital expenditures requests to vary significantly.
 
Nevertheless, our anticipated capital expenditures, as well as other currently contemplated uses of available cash, could change based on competitive or other developments (which could, for example, increase our need for capital expenditures or working capital), new growth opportunities or other factors. Our board of directors is free to depart from or change our dividend policy at any time and could reduce dividends, for example, if it were to determine that we had insufficient cash (including borrowing capacity under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility) to both pay dividends at the initial dividend rate and take advantage of growth opportunities. In such a situation, our board could alternatively choose to continue to pay dividends at the initial dividend rate and forego such opportunities. See “Item 1 — Business — Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — Our dividend policy may negatively impact our ability to finance our working capital requirements, capital expenditures or operations.”
 
If the IRS were successfully to challenge our position that the 11% Senior Secured Notes are debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the cumulative interest expense associated with the 11% Senior Secured Notes would no longer be deductible from taxable income, and we would be required to recognize additional tax expense and establish a related income tax liability. Any disallowance of our ability to deduct interest expense could reduce our after-tax cash flow and materially adversely affect our ability to make cash dividend payments on our common stock. Based on our anticipated level of cash requirements, including capital expenditures, scheduled interest payments and existing contractual obligations, we estimate that for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 cash flow from operations, along with available cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund our operating needs and also to make our intended dividend payments even if the interest expense deduction is disallowed.


21


Table of Contents

However, if in the future we cannot generate sufficient cash flow to meet our needs, we may be required to reduce or eliminate dividends on our common stock. See “Item 1 — Business — Risk Factors — Risks Relating To Our Securities — We will not be able to deduct interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes if the 11% Senior Secured Notes are not respected as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes” and “Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies: Use of Estimates — Accounting Treatment for IDSs.” As of March 31, 2006, we had approximately $136.0 million in net operating loss carryforwards. Such net operating loss carryforwards expire between the fiscal years ending March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2026. Application of such net operating losses in determining our taxable net income is subject to annual limitations regarding changes in ownership that are contained in the Internal Revenue Code.
 
We may not generate sufficient EBITDA to enable us to pay dividends on our common stock. If our EBITDA is not sufficient, we may be required to do one or more of the following in order to enable us to pay dividends on our common stock: (i) reduce our capital expenditures, (ii) fund capital expenditures or other costs and expenses with borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, (iii) evaluate other funding alternatives, such as capital markets transactions, refinancing or restructuring our consolidated indebtedness, asset sales, or financing from third parties, or (iv) seek an amendment, waiver or other modification from requisite lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, in each case to the extent Coinmach Corp. failed to satisfy the applicable restrictions contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and was limited from making dividends or distribution to us. Additional sources of funds may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all or may not be permitted pursuant to the terms of our existing indebtedness. If we were to use working capital or permanent borrowings to fund dividends, we would have less cash and/or borrowing capacity available for future dividends and other purposes, which could negatively impact our future liquidity, our ability to adapt to changes in our industry and our ability to expand our business. In addition to any of the foregoing options that may be available to us, our board of directors may at any time and in its absolute discretion reduce the level of dividends provided for in our dividend policy or eliminate such dividends entirely.
 
Our payment of dividends also depends on provisions of applicable law and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Under Delaware law, our board of directors may declare dividends only to the extent of our “surplus” (which is total assets at current value minus total liabilities at current value (as each may be determined in good faith by our board of directors), minus statutory capital), or if there is no surplus, out of our net profits, if any, for the then current and/or immediately preceding fiscal years. Dividend payments are not required or guaranteed, and holders of our capital stock do not have any legal right to receive or require the payment of dividends.
 
Subject to certain limitations, we may redeem all or part of the then outstanding Class B Common Stock on a pro rata basis. Any exercise by us of such redemption rights will reduce cash available for Class A Common Stock dividends. In the fourth quarter of the 2006 Fiscal Year we repurchased 2,199,413 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,605,995 shares of Class B Common Stock with proceeds from the Class A Offering. See “Item 5 — Market Price of and Dividends on Our Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities — Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.” Due to our currently contemplated cash uses, including dividend payments, we do not expect to retain enough cash from operations to be able to pay the 11% Senior Secured Notes, or the Amended and Restated Credit Facility when such indebtedness matures or when principal payments (other than regularly scheduled amortization payments under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility) on such indebtedness otherwise becomes due. Therefore, cash available for dividends will be reduced when such payments are required, unless such indebtedness is refinanced prior to such time. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to refinance such indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms, on terms as favorable as the refinanced indebtedness or at all. A failure to refinance such indebtedness or pay it when it becomes due would cause a default under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, and the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes. See “Item 1 — Business — Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Securities — We have substantial indebtedness which could restrict our ability to pay interest and principal on the 11% Senior Secured Notes and to pay

dividends with respect to the shares of the Class A Common Stock and the shares of Class B Common Stock and could adversely affect our financing options and liquidity position.”

(3) As of March 31, 2006, our board of directors authorized up to 2,836,729 shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance under the 2004 LTIP. The maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for awards under the 2004 LTIP is 6,583,796 shares (equal to 15% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock immediately following consummation of the IPO).
 
On January 4, 2006, the compensation committee of our board of directors awarded restricted shares of Class A Common Stock to certain executive officers and recommended to the board of directors the award of restricted shares of Class A Common Stock to certain board members (the “2006 Restricted Stock Awards”), which recommendation was approved by the board of directors on January 26, 2006.
 
The restricted stock awards were granted on February 15, 2006, in aggregate dollar amounts, with the actual number of shares issued determined by dividing the $9.00 price to the public of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued in the Class A Offering by such dollar amounts. The following awards were granted: (i) with respect to executive officers, $460,000 (or 51,111 shares in the aggregate) (ii) with respect to our independent directors, $45,000 (or 5,001 shares in the aggregate) and (iii) with respect to a non-independent director, $100,000 (or 11,111 shares). In addition, $200,000 worth of restricted shares of Class A Common Stock (or 22,222 shares) were designated for an employee pool and (with the exception of 556 shares) were awarded to employees other than executive officers by our chief executive officer.
 
The restricted stock awards to the independent directors were fully vested on the date of grant, and those to the non-independent director, the executive officers and the employees will vest 20% on the date of grant and the balance at 20% per year over a consecutive four-year period thereafter. In addition, the restricted stock grants to the executive officers and the non-independent director vest upon our change of control or upon the death or disability of the award recipient and contain all of the rights and are subject to all of the restrictions of Class A Common Stock prior to becoming fully vested, including voting and dividend rights. The fair value of the vested restricted stock issued was recorded as compensation expense and will be recorded as compensation expense over the vesting period of such stock.

(1) Transaction costs in the 2006 Fiscal Year consist of the following costs incurred in connection with the redemption of debt and the refinancing of the Coinmach Corp. credit facility (as defined below): (i) approximately $14.6 million of redemption premium on the 9% senior notes due 2010 of Coinmach Corp. (the “9% Senior Notes”) redeemed, (ii) write-off of deferred financing costs related to the redemption of the 9% Senior Notes, the refinancing of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and the repurchase of a portion of the 11% Senior Secured Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer aggregating approximately $9.6 million, (iii) costs and expenses related to the retirement of the 9% Senior Notes, the refinancing of the Coinmach Corp. credit facility and the repurchase of a portion of the 11% Senior Secured Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer aggregating approximately $6.4 million, (iv) special bonuses of approximately $0.5 million related to the Tender Offer and (v) approximately $0.4 million of non-recurring transaction fees and expenses.
 
Transaction costs in the 2005 Fiscal Year consist of the following costs incurred in connection with the IDS Transactions: (a) approximately $11.3 million of redemption premium on the portion of the 9% Senior Notes redeemed, (b) write-off of deferred financing costs related to the redemption of the 9% Senior Notes and the term loans repaid aggregating approximately $3.5 million, (c) expenses related to the refinancing of the Coinmach Corp. credit facility aggregating approximately $1.8 million and (d) special bonuses related to the IDS Transactions aggregating approximately $0.8 million.
 
Transaction costs in the 2002 Fiscal Year consist of costs incurred in connection with Coinmach Corp’s refinancing on January 25, 2002.
 
(2) For the 2005 Fiscal Year, net loss includes approximately $18.2 million of preferred stock dividend recorded as interest expense. For the 2004 Fiscal Year, net loss includes approximately $24.7 million of preferred stock dividend recorded as interest expense. As required by SFAS No. 150, accrued and unpaid dividends prior to adoption of SFAS No. 150 have not been reclassified to interest expense. Preferred stock dividends for the 2003 Fiscal Year and the 2002 Fiscal Year were approximately $20.8 million and $20.4 million, respectively.
 
(3) Net loss attributable to common stockholders per share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock for the 2006 and 2005 Fiscal Years was calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock by the respective weighted average number of shares outstanding. For the 2004 Fiscal Year, the 2003 Fiscal Year, and the 2002 Fiscal Year there was no Class A Common Stock outstanding. For these periods, the calculation of net loss attributable to common stockholders per share of Class B Common Stock assumed that 24,980,445 shares of Class B Common Stock were outstanding.
 
(4) 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. Management’s 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).

Item 7.   MANAGEMENT’S 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 8 — Financial 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 1 — Business — Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements,” and the other risks set forth in “Item 1 — Business — Risk 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 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.
 
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 Laundry’s 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.
 
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, 2006 was approximately $4.3 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. Management’s 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, 2006 was approximately $195.0 million, $8.3 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, 2006 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 8.5 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 approximately 60% of our contracts. The automatic renewal clause typically provides that, if the property owner fails to take any action prior to 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


30


Table of Contents

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 ranges 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.
 
Accounting Treatment for IDSs
 
A portion of the aggregate IDSs outstanding represents 11% Senior Secured Notes recorded as long-term debt. We have concluded that it is appropriate to annually deduct interest expense on the 11% Senior Secured Notes from taxable income for U.S. federal and state and local income tax purposes. There can be no assurances that the IRS will not seek to challenge the treatment of these notes as debt or the amount of interest expense deducted, although to date we have not been notified that the 11% Senior Secured Notes should be treated as equity rather than debt for U.S. federal and state and local income tax purposes. If the 11% Senior Secured Notes would be required to be treated as equity for income tax purposes, the cumulative interest expense totaling approximately $16.9 million, through March 31, 2006, would not be deductible from taxable income, and we would be required to recognize additional tax expense and establish a related income tax liability. The additional tax due to federal, state and local authorities would be based on our taxable income or loss for each of the respective years that we take the interest expense deduction. We have not and do not currently intend to record a liability for a potential disallowance of this interest expense deduction.
 
Based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the proceeds of the IDS offering and the proceeds from the offering of the separate 11% Senior Secured Notes were allocated to the shares of Class A Common Stock and the underlying 11% Senior Secured Notes based on their respective relative fair values. The initial public offering price for the IDSs was equivalent to the fair value of $7.50 per share of Class A Common Stock and $6.14 in principal amount of an 11% Senior Secured Notes underlying the IDS and the fair value of the separate 11% Senior Secured Notes was equivalent to their face value.
 
In addition, we have concluded that there are no embedded derivative features in the IDSs or within the Class B Common Stock which requires separate accounting. The make-whole redemption provision allows us to redeem all or a portion of the 11% Senior Secured Notes prior to the date that is 60 months after


31


Table of Contents

November 24, 2004, the closing date of the IPO, at a redemption price that could result in a premium, therefore resulting in an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. However, the terms of the embedded derivative permit us to redeem the 11% Senior Secured Notes at an amount that will always exceed the fair value of the 11% Senior Secured Notes. As a result, this option will always be out of the money, and, therefore, the value ascribed to the embedded derivative is minimal. Accordingly, we have initially recorded it at a value of zero. The optional redemption provision at scheduled prices allows us to redeem all or part of the 11% Senior Secured Notes at scheduled premium prices. Although the 11% Senior Secured Notes are redeemable at a premium, further analysis under SFAS 133 has led us to conclude that the option is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the 11% Senior Secured Notes and should not be bifurcated. The tax redemption provision allows us to redeem all of the 11% Senior Secured Notes at par if the interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes is not tax deductible. As a result of the redemption price being at par and the 11% Senior Secured Notes initially recorded without a substantial premium or discount, we have concluded that this option is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the 11% Senior Secured Notes and should not be bifurcated. The change of control put option allows the 11% Senior Secured Notes holders to put the 11% Senior Secured Notes to us at a price equal to 101% of par. Although the 11% Senior Secured Notes are callable at a premium, further analysis under SFAS 133 has led us to conclude that the option is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the 11% Senior Secured Notes and should not be bifurcated, principally because such premium does not cause the investor to double the initial contractual rate of return.
 
The entire proceeds of the IPO were allocated to the Class A Common Stock and 11% Senior Secured Notes underlying IDSs and the separate 11% Senior Secured Notes, and the allocation of the IDS portion of such proceeds to the Class A Common Stock and the 11% Senior Secured Notes did not result in a substantial premium or discount. Upon subsequent issuances of 11% Senior Secured Notes or IDSs, we will evaluate whether there is a substantial discount or premium. We expect that if there is a substantial discount or premium upon a subsequent issuance of notes, certain redemption features of the 11% Senior Secured Notes may be considered not clearly and closely related, and we would separately account for these features as embedded derivates. If the embedded derivates are required to be bifurcated, we will (a) value the derivative, (b) record such value as a reduction of the 11% Senior Secured Notes (discount) with a corresponding derivative liability, (c) accrete the discount on the 11% Senior Secured Notes up to their par value using the effective interest method with a corresponding charge to interest expense, and (d) revalue the derivative liability quarterly with the difference (increase or decrease) recorded to interest expense.
 
The Class A Common Stock portion of each IDS issued in the IPO and the Class B Common Stock are included in stockholders’ equity, net of related transaction costs, and dividends paid on the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock are recorded as a decrease to stockholders’ equity when declared. The 11% Senior Secured Notes portion of each IDS and the separate 11% Senior Secured Notes are presented as long-term obligations, and the related transaction costs were capitalized as deferred financing fees and amortized to interest expense over the term of these notes. Interest on these notes is charged to interest expense as it is accrued.
 
Share-Based Compensation
 
We adopted SFAS No. 123R as of January 1, 2006 in conjunction with our 2006 Restricted Stock Award discussed in Note 13 of our consolidated financial statements. SFAS 123R requires us to recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments made to employees based on fair value of the share-based payment on the date of grant.
 
The fair value of all restricted shares is based on the price of our Class A Common Stock on the date of grant.
 
SFAS 123R also requires that we recognize compensation expense for only the portion of restricted shares that are expected to vest. Therefore, we apply estimated forfeiture rates that are derived from historical employee termination behavior using a stratified model based on the employee’s position within the company


32


Table of Contents

and the vesting period of the respective restricted shares. If the actual number of forfeitures differs from those estimated by management, additional adjustments to compensation expense may be required in future periods.

(1) For the 2005 Fiscal Year, net loss includes approximately $18.2 million of preferred stock dividend recorded as interest expense. For the 2004 Fiscal Year, net loss includes approximately $24.7 million of preferred stock dividend recorded as interest expense. As required by SFAS No. 150, for fiscal years ending prior to March 31, 2004, accrued and unpaid dividends have not been reclassified to interest expense.
 
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. 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 (4) of the table contained under “Item 6 —

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, 2006 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2005
 
The following table sets forth our revenues for the years indicated (in millions of dollars):
 
                         
    Year Ended March 31,  
    2006     2005     Change  
 
Route
  $ 481.7     $ 472.5     $ 9.2  
Rental
    36.1       34.4       1.7  
Distribution
    25.7       31.7       (6.0 )
                         
    $ 543.5     $ 538.6     $ 4.9  
                         
 
Revenue increased by approximately $4.9 million or approximately 1% for the 2006 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2005 Fiscal Year.
 
Route revenue for the 2006 Fiscal Year increased by approximately $9.2 million or 2% from the 2005 Fiscal Year. We believe that this increase was due to price increases and an increase in third party service income.
 
Rental revenue for the 2006 Fiscal Year increased by approximately $1.7 million or 5% over the 2005 Fiscal Year. This increase was primarily the result of our continuing internal growth of the machine base in existing areas of operations during the current and prior years as well as the result of a minor “tuck-in” acquisition during the current year.
 
Distribution revenue for the 2006 Fiscal Year decreased by approximately $6.0 million or 19% from the 2005 Fiscal Year. The decrease was primarily due to decreased equipment sales. Sales from the distribution business unit are sensitive to general market conditions and economic conditions.
 
Laundry operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased by approximately $2.7 million or less than 1% for the 2006 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2005 Fiscal Year. This increase in laundry operating expenses was due primarily to (i) an increase in commissions paid of $3.0 million, due to an increase in route revenue, (ii) an increase in taxes of approximately $2.0 million relating to miscellaneous tax items, consisting primarily of state franchise taxes, (iii) an increase in fuel costs of approximately $1.1 million primarily due to increased fuel prices, (iv) an increase in utilities of approximately $0.9 million primarily due to increased utility prices in our laundromats, (v) an increase in salaries of $0.4 and (vi) other miscellaneous operating costs and expenses that are not material individually, or in the aggregate. This increase in laundry operating expenses was offset primarily by decreased cost of sales of approximately $5.1 million due to decreased equipment sales. As a percentage of revenues, laundry operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, were approximately 68.3% for both the 2006 Fiscal Year and the 2005 Fiscal Year.
 
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $2.8 million or 29% for the 2006 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2005 Fiscal Year. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to (i) certain first year costs associated with the initial implementation of compliance procedures related to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (ii) incremental public company administrative fees and expenses including but not limited to incremental director and officer liability insurance, additional directors’ fees, investor and public relations expenses, and (iii) other miscellaneous costs and additional expenses associated with being a public company, as well as stock compensation expense related to the issuance of restricted stock awards by us in February 2006. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative

Table of Contents

expenses were approximately 2.3% for the 2006 Fiscal Year and as compared to approximately 1.8% for the 2005 Fiscal Year.
 
In conjunction with our 2006 Restricted Stock Awards, we adopted SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006. SFAS 123R requires us to recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments made to employees based on their fair value of the share-based payment at the date of grant. For share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, compensation expense, based on their fair value on the date of grant, will be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of grant. For the 2006 Fiscal Year we recognized approximately $0.2 million to compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for share-based payments to employees, which is discussed further in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements.
 
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by approximately $0.9 million or 1% for the 2006 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2005 Fiscal Year. The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to a reduction in depreciation expense relating to reduced capital expenditures made in prior years.
 
Amortization of advance location payments decreased by approximately $0.4 million or 2% for the 2006 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2005 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 2006 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2005 Fiscal Year. The decrease was primarily the result of amortization expense being recorded on an accelerated basis.
 
Other items, net, for the 2006 Fiscal Year of approximately $0.3 million was primarily due to a write-down of the asset value of approximately $0.2 million, relating to the sale of one of the laundromats in October 2005.
 
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.
 
Operating income margin was approximately 9.4% for the 2006 Fiscal Year, as compared to approximately 9.2% for the 2005 Fiscal Year. The increase in operating income margin was primarily due to an increase in revenue partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses.
 
Transaction costs for the 2006 Fiscal Year of approximately $31.5 million consisted of (i) approximately $14.6 million of redemption premium on the 9% Senior Notes redeemed, (ii) write-off of deferred financing costs related to the redemption of the 9% Senior Notes, the refinancing of the Coinmach Corp. credit facility and the repurchase of a portion of the 11% Senior Secured Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer aggregating approximately $9.6 million, (iii) costs and expenses related to the retirement of the 9% Senior Notes, the refinancing of the Coinmach Corp. credit facility and the repurchase of a portion of the 11% Senior Secured Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer aggregating approximately $6.4 million, (iv) special bonuses of approximately $0.5 million related to the Tender Offer and (v) approximately $0.4 million of non-recurring transaction fees and expenses.
 
Transaction costs for the 2005 Fiscal Year of approximately $17.4 million consisted of (1) approximately $11.3 million redemption premium on the portion of 9% Senior Notes redeemed, (2) write-off of deferred financing costs related to the 9% Senior Notes redeemed and term loans repaid aggregating approximately $3.5 million, (3) expenses related to the Coinmach Corp. credit facility amendment aggregating approximately $1.8 million, and (4) special bonuses related to the IDS Transactions aggregating approximately $0.8 million.
 
Interest expense increased by approximately $1.5 million or 3% for the 2006 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2005 Fiscal Year. In the Class A Offering, we completed the purchase of approximately $48.4 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of 11% Senior Secured Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer. Additionally, on December 19, 2005, Coinmach Corp. entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Facility comprised of a $570.0 million term loan facility, of which $230.0 million was borrowed by Coinmach Corp. on December 19, 2005 to refinance approximately $229.3 million aggregate principal amount of then

outstanding term debt under its senior secured credit facility and pay related expenses (the “Credit Facility Refinancing”). On February 1, 2006, Coinmach Corp. used $340.0 million of delayed draw term loans to retire all of the then outstanding $324.5 million aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes (plus approximately $14.6 million of related redemption premium) and to pay related fees and expenses. In addition, the increase in interest expense was due to an increase in variable interest rates payable under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility resulting from a market increase in interest rates.
 
Interest expense-non cash preferred stock dividends were approximately $18.2 million for the 2005 Fiscal Year. As a result of the IPO in November 2004, a portion of the net proceeds thereof was used to redeem approximately $91.8 million of CLC’s outstanding Class A preferred stock and approximately $7.4 million of CLC’s outstanding Class B preferred stock. In connection with the IDS Transactions, Holdings exchanged all of the outstanding CLC Class A preferred stock owned by it and all of the outstanding shares of common stock of AWA to us for 24,980,445 shares of Class B Common Stock, representing all of the outstanding Class B Common Stock.
 
Interest expense-escrow interest for the 2005 Fiscal Year of approximately $0.9 million relates to interest expense on the portion of the 9% Senior Notes that were redeemed on December 24, 2004. A portion of the net proceeds from the IPO was used to redeem 9% Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $125.5 million. There was no such amount for the 2006 Fiscal Year.
 
The benefit for income taxes for the 2006 Fiscal Year was approximately $15.9 million as compared to a benefit for income taxes of approximately $10.2 million for the 2005 Fiscal Year. The effective tax rate for the 2006 Fiscal Year was approximately 39% as compared to approximately 22% for the 2005 Fiscal Year. The changes for the year are primarily due to deductible transaction costs incurred during the current year and non cash interest expense on the preferred stock recorded in the prior year that did not occur in the current year.
 
Net loss was approximately $24.6 million for the 2006 Fiscal Year, as compared to net loss of approximately $35.3 million for the 2005 Fiscal Year. The decrease in net loss was primarily the result of the non cash interest expense on the preferred stock recorded in the prior year, offset by the transaction costs relating to the redemption of debt and the refinancing of the Coinmach Corp. credit facility in the 2006 Fiscal Year that were greater than the transaction costs relating to the IDS Transactions in the prior year, 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 2006 Fiscal Year has not been adjusted to exclude certain transaction costs aggregating approximately $31.5 million consisting of: (i) approximately $14.6 million of redemption premium related to the redemption of the 9% Senior Notes, (ii) the write-off of deferred financing costs related to the redemption of the 9% Senior Notes, the refinancing of the Coinmach Corp. credit facility and the repurchase of a portion of 11% Senior

Secured Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer aggregating approximately $9.6 million, (iii) costs and expenses related to the redemption of the 9% Senior Notes, the refinancing of the Coinmach Corp. credit facility and the repurchase of a portion of the 11% Senior Secured Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer aggregating approximately $6.4 million, (iv) special bonuses of approximately $0.5 million related to the Tender Offer, and (v) approximately $0.4 million of non-recurring transaction fees and expenses relating to the foregoing. The computation of EBITDA for the 2005 Fiscal Year has not been adjusted to exclude costs related to the IDS Transactions aggregating approximately $17.4 million consisting of (a) approximately $11.3 million of redemption premium on the portion of the 9% Senior Notes redeemed, (b) write-off of deferred financing costs related to the 9% Senior Notes redeemed and term loans repaid aggregating approximately $3.5 million, (c) expenses related to the Coinmach Corp. credit facility amendment aggregating approximately $1.8 million and (d) special bonuses aggregating approximately $0.8 million.
 
EBITDA was approximately $128.5 million for the 2006 Fiscal Year, as compared to approximately $142.7 million for the 2005 Fiscal Year. EBITDA margins declined to approximately 23.6% for the 2006 Fiscal Year, as compared to approximately 26.5% for the 2005 Fiscal Year. The decrease in EBITDA and EBITDA margin is primarily attributable to certain transaction costs of approximately $31.5 million relating to the redemption of debt and the refinancing of the Coinmach Corp. credit facility in the 2006 Fiscal Year offset partially by certain transaction costs of approximately $17.4 million related to the IDS Transactions in the 2005 Fiscal Year. See footnote 4 of the table contained under “Item 6 — Selected Financial Data” for a reconciliation of net loss and cash flow provided by operating activities to EBITDA for the years indicated in the table immediately above.
 
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 (in millions of dollars):
 
                         
    Year Ended March 31,  
    2005     2004     Change  
 
Route
  $ 472.5     $ 469.6     $ 2.9  
Rental
    34.4       32.6       1.8  
Distribution
    31.7       28.9       2.8  
                         
    $ 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.
 
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,


37


Table of Contents

(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 $0.2 million or 2% for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2004 Fiscal Year. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to incremental public company administrative fees and expenses including but not limited to incremental director and officer liability insurance, additional directors’ fees, investor and public relations expenses, and other miscellaneous costs and expenses relating to compliance with applicable securities laws. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were approximately 1.8% 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 we took 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 Laundry’s 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 Coinmach Corp. Subsequently, Coinmach Corp. 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, Coinmach Corp. and the other sellers are entitled to their pro rata share (as determined by each seller’s 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 Coinmach Corp. 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 our determination that such amounts were likely to be received and were reasonably estimated. In October 2003, Coinmach Corp. received approximately $0.7 million related to its share of the escrow fund and approximately


38


Table of Contents

$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 there was no longer uncertainty surrounding the collectibility of the portion of the escrow fund due in October 2004 of approximately $0.7 million and such amount was recorded as income for the 2004 Fiscal Year.
 
Operating income margins were approximately 9.2% for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to approximately 8.9% 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 9% Senior Notes due 2010 redeemed, (2) the write-off of the deferred financing costs related to the 9% Senior Notes redeemed and term loans repaid aggregating approximately $2.5 million, (3) expenses related to the Coinmach Corp. credit facility amendment aggregating approximately $1.8 million, and (4) special bonuses related to the IDS Transactions aggregating approximately $0.8 million.
 
Interest expense increased by approximately $1.2 million or 2% for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2004 Fiscal Year. Following consummation of the IPO in November 2004, a portion of the net proceeds thereof was used to redeem $125.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 9% Senior Notes and approximately $15.5 million of outstanding term loans under the Coinmach Corp. credit facility. As a consequence of the IPO, we issued approximately $116.1 million of 11% Senior Secured Notes underlying IDSs and $20.0 million of additional 11% Senior Secured Notes not underlying IDSs. In addition, there has been an increase in variable interest rates payable under the Coinmach Corp. credit facility resulting from a market increase in interest rates.
 
Interest expense-non cash preferred stock dividends decreased by approximately $6.5 million or 26% for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to the 2004 Fiscal Year. As a result of the IPO in November 2004, a portion of the net proceeds thereof was used to redeem approximately $91.8 million of CLC’s outstanding Class A preferred stock and approximately $7.4 million of CLC’s outstanding Class B preferred stock. In addition, in connection with the IDS Transactions, Holdings exchanged CLC capital stock owned by it and all of the outstanding shares of common stock of AWA to us for 24,980,445 shares of Class B Common Stock, representing all of the outstanding Class B Common Stock. Pursuant to the IDS Transactions, we became controlled by Holdings.
 
Interest expense-escrow interest for the 2005 Fiscal Year of approximately $0.9 million relates to interest expense on the portion of the 9% Senior Notes that were redeemed on December 24, 2004. A portion of the net proceeds from the IPO was used to redeem 9% Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $125.5 million.
 
The benefit for income taxes for the 2005 Fiscal Year was approximately $10.2 million as compared to a benefit for income taxes of approximately $3.6 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, and a state tax benefit net of Federal taxes of approximately $0.9 million, offset by tax expense of approximately $0.9 million related to an increase in operating income. The effective tax rate for the 2005 Fiscal Year was approximately 22% as compared to approximately 10% for the 2004 Fiscal Year.
 
Net loss was approximately $35.3 million for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to net loss of approximately $31.3 million for the 2004 Fiscal Year. The increase in net loss was primarily the result of IDS 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 exclude costs related to the IDS Transactions aggregating approximately $17.4 million consisting of (a) approximately $11.3 million of redemption premium on the portion of the 9% Senior Notes redeemed, (b) write-off of deferred financing costs related to the 9% Senior Notes redeemed and term loans repaid aggregating approximately $3.5 million, (c) expenses related to the Coinmach Corp. credit facility amendment aggregating approximately $18 million and (d) special bonuses aggregating approximately $0.8 million.
 
EBITDA was approximately $142.7 million for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to approximately $155.7 million for the 2004 Fiscal Year. EBITDA margins declined to approximately 26.5% for the 2005 Fiscal Year, as compared to approximately 29.3% for the 2004 Fiscal Year. The decrease in EBITDA and EBITDA margin is primarily attributable to certain transaction costs of approximately $17.4 million related to the IDS Transactions. See footnote 4 of the table contained under “Item 6 — Selected Financial Data” for a reconciliation of net loss and cash flow provided by operating activities to EBITDA for the years indicated in the table immediately above.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We are a holding company with no material assets other than the capital stock of our subsidiaries, an intercompany note of Coinmach Corp. and the guarantee of such intercompany note by certain subsidiaries of Coinmach Corp. Our operating income is generated by our subsidiaries. The intercompany note and related guarantees are described below under “— Financing Activities — The Intercompany Loan.” Our liquidity requirements, on a consolidated basis, primarily consist of (i) interest payments on the 11% Senior Secured Notes, (ii) interest and regularly scheduled amortization payments with respect to borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, (iii) dividend payments, if any, on our common stock and (iv) and capital expenditures and other working capital requirements.
 
We have met these requirements for the past three fiscal years. Our ability to make such payments and expenditures will depend on the earnings and cash flows of our subsidiaries and the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute amounts to us, including by way of payments on the intercompany note. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities and borrowings available under the revolver portion of Amended and Restated Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $62.0 million and available borrowings under the revolver portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility of approximately $68.2 million. Letters of credit under the revolver portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility outstanding at March 31, 2006 were approximately $6.8 million.
 
Our stockholders’ equity was approximately $138.7 million as of March 31, 2006.
 
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 to pay dividends on our common stock.
 
Dividend Policy
 
Our dividend policy reflects a basic judgment that our stockholders would be better served if we distributed our available cash to them instead of retaining it in our business. Pursuant to this policy, we expect that cash generated by us in excess of operating needs, interest and principal payments on indebtedness, and capital expenditures sufficient to maintain our properties and other assets would generally be available for distribution as regular cash dividends.
 
However, there can be no assurance that we will continue to pay dividends at the levels set forth in our dividend policy, or at all. Dividend payments are not mandatory or guaranteed and holders of our common stock do not have any legal right to receive, or require us to declare, dividends. Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend or repeal our dividend policy at any time and decrease or eliminate dividend payments. If we had insufficient cash to pay dividends in the amounts set forth in our dividend policy, we would need either to reduce or eliminate dividends or, to the extent permitted under the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes and the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, fund a portion of our dividends with borrowings or from other sources.
 
As a result of our dividend policy, 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. 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 we do not have sufficient cash for these purposes, our financial condition and our business will suffer.
 
On February 9, 2006, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20615 per share of Class A Common Stock (or approximately $6.0 million in the aggregate), which cash dividend was paid on March 1, 2006 to holders of record as of the close of business on February 27, 2006 (including holders of Class A Common Stock sold in the Class A Offering).
 
On May 10, 2006, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20615 per share of Class A Common Stock (or approximately $6.0 million in the aggregate), and a cash dividend of $0.53477 per share of Class B Common Stock (or $12.5 million in the aggregate) for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 which was paid on June 1, 2006 to holders of record as of the close of business on May 25, 2006.
 
See “Item 5 — Market Price of and Dividends on Our Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities — Dividends” and “Item 1 — Business — Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Securities — The holders of IDSs and common stock may not receive the level of dividends provided for in the dividend policy that our board of directors adopted or any dividends at all” for a more detailed discussion of our dividend policy.
 
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 or repurchase 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.
 
The Class A Offering
 
On February 8, 2006, we completed the Class A Offering of 12,312,633 shares of Class A Common Stock (including a full overallotment exercise by the underwriters on February 17, 2006) at a price to the public of


41


Table of Contents

$9.00 per share. Net proceeds from the Class A Offering, including the overallotment option, were approximately $102.7 million, after expenses including underwriting discounts and commissions. The net proceeds were used (i) to complete the purchase of approximately $48.4 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of 11% Senior Secured Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer and related fees and expenses, (ii) to repurchase 2,199,413 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by an affiliate of GTCR — CLC, LLC at a repurchase price of $8.505 per share or approximately $18.7 million, described in “Item 5 — Market Price of and Dividends on Our Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters — Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities”, (iii) to repurchase 1,605,995 shares of Class B Common Stock held by certain directors and officers of CSC at a repurchase price of $8.505 per share or approximately $13.7 million and (iv) for general corporate purposes.
 
The Initial Public Offering
 
On November 24, 2004, we completed the IPO of 18,333,333 IDSs at a public offering price of $13.64 per IDS and $20 million aggregate principal amount of separate 11% Senior Secured Notes. On December 21, 2004, the underwriters of the IPO purchased an additional 578,199 IDSs pursuant to an overallotment exercise.
 
Net proceeds from the IPO were approximately $254.5 million, after expenses including underwriting discounts and commissions. The net 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), (ii) repay approximately $15.5 million of outstanding term loans under the Coinmach Corp. credit facility and (iii) redeem approximately $91.8 million of CLC’s outstanding Class A preferred stock and approximately $7.4 million of CLC’s outstanding Class B preferred stock.
 
11% Senior Secured Notes
 
The 11% Senior Secured Notes were issued on November 24, 2004 and December 21, 2004. The 11% Senior Secured Notes, which are scheduled to mature on December 1, 2024, are our senior secured obligations and are redeemable, at our option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice (i) prior to December 1, 2009, upon payment of a make-whole premium and (ii) on or after December 1, 2009, at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
 
On February 8, 2006, we completed the Tender Offer, purchasing approximately $48.4 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 11% Senior Secured Notes. The total consideration offered for each $6.14 principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes tendered was $6.754 plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, which amount included an early tender payment for notes tendered on or prior to the early tender payment date. The total aggregate amount paid by us in order to purchase 11% Senior Secured Notes tendered in the Tender Offer was approximately $55.1 million including accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
 
On April 28, 2006, we purchased approximately $5.6 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 11% Senior Secured Notes in open market purchases, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.3 million including accrued and unpaid interest therein.
 
As of May 31, 2006, there were approximately $82.1 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes outstanding.
 
Interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes is payable quarterly, in arrears, on each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 to the holders of record at the close of business on the February 25, May 25, August 25 and November 25, respectively, immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date.
 
The 11% Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first-priority perfected lien, subject to certain permitted liens, on substantially all of our existing and future assets, including the common stock of AWA, the capital stock of CLC, the Intercompany Note and the related guaranty. The 11% Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by CLC. If we were to consummate the Merger Event, the only lien providing


42


Table of Contents

security for the 11% Senior Secured Notes would be a second priority perfected lien (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement that was entered into by the trustee under the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes with the collateral agent under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility) on the capital stock of our direct domestic subsidiaries and 65% of each class of capital stock of our direct foreign subsidiaries, which lien will be contractually subordinated to the liens of the collateral agent under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement. Consequently, a second priority perfected lien on such capital stock would constitute the only security for the 11% Senior Secured Notes, and the 11% Senior Secured Notes would be effectively subordinated to the obligations outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to the extent of the value of such capital stock.
 
The indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements applicable to us and our restricted 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, and certain investments); (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; (ix) limitations on exercising Class B Common Stock redemption rights and consummating purchases of Class B Common Stock upon exercise of sales rights by holders; and (x) limitation on consolidations, mergers and sales of substantially all of our assets.
 
At March 31, 2006, we were in compliance with the covenants under the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes and were not aware of any events of default pursuant to the terms of such indebtedness.
 
Amended and Restated Credit Facility
 
On December 19, 2005, Coinmach Corp. entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, which amended and restated the credit facility originally entered into on January 25, 2002 (the “Coinmach Corp. credit facility”). The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is comprised of a $570.0 million term loan facility and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility (subject to outstanding letters of credit). The term loans are scheduled to be fully repaid by December 19, 2012, and the revolving credit facility is scheduled to expire on December 19, 2010.
 
On December 19, 2005, Coinmach Corp. borrowed $230.0 million under the term loan facility to refinance approximately $229.3 million aggregate principal amount of then outstanding term debt under the Coinmach Corp. credit facility and pay related expenses. On February 1, 2006, Coinmach Corp. used approximately $340.0 million of delayed draw term loans to retire all of the then outstanding $324.5 million aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes (plus approximately $14.6 million of related redemption premium) and to pay related fees and any expenses.
 
The revolving loans accrue interest, at the borrower’s option, at a rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of 2.00% or the Eurodollar rate plus 3.00%, subject in each case to performance based adjustments. The term loans accrue interest, at the borrower’s option, at a rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of 1.50% or the Eurodollar rate plus 2.50%, subject in each case to performance based adjustments. At March 31, 2006, the monthly variable Eurodollar rate was 4.8125%.
 
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires Coinmach Corp. to make certain mandatory repayments, including from (a) 100% of net proceeds from asset sales by Coinmach Corp. and its subsidiaries, (b) 100% of the net proceeds from the issuance of debt (with an exception for proceeds from intercompany loans made by Coinmach to us), (c) 50% of annual excess cash flow of Coinmach Corp. and its subsidiaries, and (d) 100% of the net proceeds from insurance recovery and condemnation events of Coinmach Corp. and its subsidiaries, in each case subject to reinvestment rights, as applicable, and other exceptions generally consistent with the Coinmach Corp. credit facility.

Table of Contents

The Amended and Restated Credit Facility contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements applicable to Coinmach Corp. which, if the Merger Event were completed, would apply directly to us as borrower under such credit facility, 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 Coinmach Corp.’s capital stock or its subsidiaries or the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any of its or its subsidiaries’ capital stock); (iii) voluntary prepayments of previously existing indebtedness; (iv) Investments (as defined in the Amended and Restated 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 Coinmach Corp.’s equity securities; and (xiii) creation of subsidiaries. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility also requires that Coinmach Corp. satisfy certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio.
 
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in all of Coinmach Corp.’s real and personal property and is guaranteed by each of Coinmach Corp.’s domestic subsidiaries. CLC has pledged the capital stock of Coinmach as collateral under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility for the benefit of the lenders thereunder.
 
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility permits, subject to certain conditions, the Merger Event. In particular, the Merger Event is permitted at any time, provided that either (i) after giving effect to the merger event, we had a ratio of consolidated indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA of no more than 3.9 to 1.0, or (ii) our total consolidated indebtedness at the time of the merger event is at least $50.0 million less than our total consolidated indebtedness on the date the Amended and Restated Credit agreement was entered into, after giving effect to the refinancing of approximately $229.3 million of term debt under the Coinmach Corp. credit facility (which for such purpose reductions in outstanding revolver loans are disregarded unless accompanied by corresponding permanent commitment reductions). While we presently do not intend to effect the Merger Event, if we were to consummate the Merger Event, we would become the direct borrower under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and sole owner of the capital stock of Coinmach Corp.’s subsidiaries. As a result, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility would be secured by a first priority security interest in all of our real and personal property and would be guaranteed by each of our domestic subsidiaries.
 
At March 31, 2006, the $569.4 million of term loan borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility had an interest rate of approximately 7.31% and the amount available under the revolving credit portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility was approximately $68.2 million. Letters of credit under the revolver portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility outstanding at March 31, 2006 were approximately $6.8 million.
 
At March 31, 2006, Coinmach Corp. was in compliance with the covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and was not aware of any events of default pursuant to the terms of such indebtedness.
 
9% Senior Notes
 
On January 25, 2002, Coinmach Corp. issued $450 million aggregate principal amount of the 9% Senior Notes. On December 24, 2004, Coinmach Corp. used a portion of the proceeds from the IPO 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).
 
On December 30, 2005, Coinmach Corp. delivered notice to the holders of the 9% Senior Notes that, pursuant to the indenture governing such notes, it would retire all of the outstanding 9% Senior Notes on February 1, 2006 at a redemption price equal to 104.5% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. On February 1, 2006, Coinmach Corp. used the delayed draw term loans available under the term loan portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to retire all of the $324.5 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes, plus pay approximately $14.6 million of related redemption premium. Coinmach Corp. used available cash to pay the approximately $14.6 million regularly

scheduled semi-annual aggregate interest payment due on such date. As a result, effective February 1, 2006, no 9% Senior Notes were outstanding.
 
The Intercompany Loan
 
Pursuant to the IDS Transactions, we made an intercompany loan of approximately $81.7 million to Coinmach Corp. Pursuant to the Class A Offering, we made additional intercompany loans on February 8, 2006 and February 17, 2006 of approximately $88.2 million and $13.7 million, respectively (such loans together, the “Intercompany Loan”). The Intercompany Loan, which is represented by an intercompany note from Coinmach for the benefit of CSC (the “Intercompany Note”), is eliminated in consolidation.
 
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 Corp., ranks equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of Coinmach Corp. (including indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility) and ranks senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Coinmach Corp. Certain of Coinmach Corp.’s domestic restricted subsidiaries guarantee the Intercompany Loan on a senior unsecured basis. The Intercompany Loan contains covenants that are substantially the same as those provided in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. The Intercompany Loan and the guaranty of the Intercompany Loan by certain subsidiaries of the Company were pledged by us to secure the repayment of the 11% Senior Secured Notes.
 
If at any time Coinmach Corp. is not prohibited from doing so under the terms of its then outstanding indebtedness, in the event that we undertake 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 Coinmach Corp. and increase the principal amount of the Intercompany Loan and the guaranty of the Intercompany Loan.
 
At March 31, 2006, Coinmach Corp. was in compliance with the covenants under the Intercompany Loan and was not aware of any events of default pursuant to the terms of such indebtedness. As of May 31, 2006, there was $183.6 million outstanding under the Intercompany Note.
 
11% Senior Secured Note Repurchases
 
On February 8, 2006, we completed the Tender Offer, purchasing approximately $48.4 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 11% Senior Secured Notes. The total consideration offered for each $6.14 principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes tendered was $6.754 plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, which amount included an early tender payment for notes tendered on or prior to the early tender payment date. The total aggregate amount paid by us in order to purchase 11% Senior Secured Notes tendered in the Tender Offer was approximately $55.1 million including accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
 
On April 28, 2006, we purchased approximately $5.6 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 11% Senior Secured Notes in open market purchases, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.3 million including accrued and unpaid interest therein.
 
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
 
Capital expenditures excluding approximately $3.4 million relating to acquisition capital expenditures (net of proceeds from the sale of equipment) for the 2006 Fiscal Year were approximately $69.3 million. 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 2006 Fiscal Year included

approximately $6.9 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 capital business acquisitions) for the years indicated (in millions of dollars):
 
                         
    Year Ended March 31,  
    2006     2005     Change

    $ 69.3     $ 70.3     $ (1.0 )
                         
 
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 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.
 
Summary of Contractual Obligations
 
The following table sets forth information with regard to disclosures about our contractual obligations and commitments as of March 31, 2006 (in millions of dollars):

(1) As of March 31, 2006, $569.4 million of our long-term debt outstanding under the Amended and Restated 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 approximately 7.31% based on the Eurodollar rate in effect at March 31, 2006. In addition, approximately $87.7 million of our long-term debt outstanding was subject to a fixed interest rate of 11.0%. In connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, Coinmach Corp. is a party to two separate interest rate swap agreements totaling $230.0 million in aggregate notional amount that effectively convert a portion of its floating-rate term loans pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to a fixed interest rate of approximately 7.40%, thereby reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. At March 31, 2006, there were $87.7 million principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes outstanding. On April 28, 2006, we purchased approximately $5.6 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 11% Senior Secured Notes in open market purchases, which has been added to the payments due for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
 
At March 31, 2006, 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 consolidated indebtedness, capital expenditures, working capital and, if and when declared by our board of directors, dividend payments on our common stock. Substantially all of our consolidated long-term debt is scheduled to mature on or after December 19, 2012, the date on which the remaining balances under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility’s term loans become due. However, our consolidated 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 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.
 
We continuously evaluate our capital structure objectives and the most efficient uses of our capital, including investment in our lines of business, potential acquisitions, and purchasing, refinancing, exchanging or retiring certain of our and our subsidiaries’ outstanding debt securities and other instruments in privately negotiated or open market transactions or by other means, to the extent permitted by our existing covenant restrictions. To pursue such transactions we may use external financings, cash flow from operations, or any combination thereof, which in turn will depend on our consolidated cash needs, liquidity, leverage and prevailing economic and financial market conditions. However, should we determine to pursue any one or more of such transactions, there can be no assurance that any such transaction would not adversely affect our liquidity or our ability to satisfy our capital requirements in the near term.
 
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 expenditure requirements. Considering our anticipated level of capital expenditures, our scheduled interest payments on our consolidated indebtedness, 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 Amended and Restated Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund our operating needs, to service our outstanding consolidated indebtedness, 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. In addition, subject to certain limitations contained in the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes, we may redeem all or part of the then outstanding Class B Common Stock on a pro rata basis. Any exercise by us of such redemption rights will further reduce cash available to fund our liquidity needs.
 
We intend to annually deduct interest expense on the 11% Senior Secured Notes from taxable income for U.S. federal and state and local income tax purposes. However, if the IRS were successfully to challenge our position that the 11% Senior Secured Notes are debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the cumulative interest expense associated with the 11% Senior Secured Notes would not be deductible from taxable income, and we would be required to recognize additional tax expense and establish a related income tax liability. To the extent that any portion of the interest expense is determined not to be deductible, we would be required to recognize additional tax expense and establish a related income tax liability. The additional tax due to federal,

state and local authorities would be based on our taxable income or loss for each of the respective years that we take the interest expense deduction and would reduce our after-tax cash flow.
 
Any disallowance of our ability to deduct interest expense could adversely affect our ability to make interest payments on the 11% Senior Secured Notes and dividend payments on the shares of Class A Common Stock represented by the IDSs as well as dividend payments on the Class B Common Stock. Based on our anticipated level of cash requirements, including capital expenditures, scheduled interest and dividend payments, and existing contractual obligations, we estimate that over the next twelve months cash flow from operations, along with the available cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund our operating needs and to service our indebtedness even if the interest expense deduction is not allowed.
 
Pursuant to recently enacted federal law, commercial clothes washers manufactured after January 1, 2007 will be subject to certain federal energy and water efficiency standards. Implementing machines compliant with such law could result in increased capital costs (including material and equipment costs), labor and installation costs, and in some cases, operation and maintenance costs. Our capital expenditures, as well as those of other industry participants, may significantly increase in order to comply with such standards.
 
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 Amended and Restated 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 $108.9 million for the 2006 Fiscal Year and approximately $110.4 million for the 2005 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.
 
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, 2006, we had approximately $339.4 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 $6.8 million, assuming the total amount of variable interest rate debt outstanding was $339.4 million, the balance as of March 31, 2006.
 
On November 17, 2005, Coinmach Corp. entered into two separate interest rate swap agreements totaling $230.0 million in aggregate notional amount that effectively convert a portion of its floating-rate term loans pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to a fixed rate basis, thereby reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The two swap agreements consist of: (i) a $115.0 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 4.90% and expiring on November 1, 2010, and (ii) a $115.0 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 4.89% and expiring on November 1, 2010. 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.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended, our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2006. As defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that we use that are designed to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2006. Based specifically on the criteria established in


49


Table of Contents

Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2006 because of the material weakness described below.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
 
Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published consolidated financial statements for external purposes and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of the assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Our management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006 using the specific criteria set forth in the Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The objective of this assessment is to determine whether our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2006.
 
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. As of March 31, 2006, we did not maintain effective control over the franchise and income tax process. Specifically, we did not adequately identify, quantify and account for such taxes; reconcile certain tax accounts on a timely basis; and we did not adequately review the difference between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities and reconcile the difference to recorded deferred income tax assets and liabilities. These deficiencies resulted in a $2.0 million reclassification between the deferred tax liability and current tax payable accounts as well as deferred income tax expense and operating expense. These errors have been corrected by management in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Had these errors not been detected, these control deficiencies could have resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, based on the specific criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, management determined that these control deficiencies constitute a material weakness.
 
Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006 was audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which expresses an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment and an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
As required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, also conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that there has been no change during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

To remediate the material weakness described above, management has begun to implement additional policies and procedures relating to our accounting for franchise and income taxes. In this regard, we are implementing enhanced control procedures over the accounting and the reconciliation process for franchise and income taxes including instituting monthly reconciliations of all tax related accounts. In addition, we are expanding the role of our tax consultant to assist us in formalizing processes, procedures and documentation standards relating to franchise and income tax accounting resulting in a more timely reconciliation of related account balances and identification of differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. We expect to have the remediation completed no later than September 30, 2006.
 
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls.
 
Our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Coinmach Service Corp.
 
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Coinmach Service Corp. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, because of the effect of the material weakness identified in management’s assessment based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material aspects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment. At of March 31, 2006, the Company did not maintain effective control over its franchise and income tax process. Specifically, the Company did not adequately identify, quantify and account for such taxes; reconcile certain tax accounts on a timely basis; and it did not adequately review the difference between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities and reconcile the difference to recorded deferred income tax assets and liabilities. These deficiencies resulted in a $2.0 million reclassification between the deferred tax liability and current tax payable accounts as well as deferred income tax expense and operating expense. The combination of these control deficiencies results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected in the annual or interim consolidated financial statements.
 
This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended March 31, 2006 of the Company and this report does not affect our report on such consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule.

Table of Contents

In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, based on the COSO criteria.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors of Coinmach Service Corp.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Coinmach Service Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2006. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 Service Corp. and Subsidiaries at March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2006, 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 financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
 
As discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, effective April 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.”
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated June 9, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Coinmach Service Corp. and Subsidiaries
 
 
1.   Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coinmach Service Corp., a Delaware corporation (“CSC”), and all of its subsidiaries, including Coinmach Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Coinmach”). All significant intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. CSC was incorporated on December 23, 2003 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coinmach Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”). Holdings, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on November 15, 2002. Unless otherwise specified herein, references to the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” shall mean CSC and its subsidiaries.
 
CSC and its wholly owned subsidiaries are providers of outsourced laundry equipment services for multi-family housing properties in North America. The Company’s 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, and collecting revenues generated from laundry machines. Through Appliance Warehouse of America, Inc. (“AWA”), a Delaware corporation jointly-owned by CSC and Coinmach, the Company rents 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 Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coinmach, constructs, designs and retrofits laundromats and distributes laundromat equipment.
 
The IDS Transactions
 
CSC had no operating activity from the date of its incorporation through November 24, 2004. In November and December 2004, CSC completed its initial public offerings (the “IPO”) of (i) 18,911,532 Income Deposit Securities (“IDSs”) (including a partial exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option on December 21, 2004), at a price to the public of $13.64 per IDS (each IDS consisting of one share of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) and an 11% senior secured note due 2024 in a principal amount of $6.14), and (ii) $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11% senior secured notes due 2024 separate and apart from the IDSs (such notes, together with the 11% senior secured notes underlying IDSs, the “11% Senior Secured Notes”).
 
In connection with the IPO and certain related corporate reorganization transactions, (i) Holdings exchanged its capital stock of Coinmach Laundry Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“CLC” or “Laundry Corp.”) and all of its shares of common stock of AWA for 24,980,445 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), representing all of the Class B Common Stock outstanding, and (ii) CLC, at the time a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of CSC. As a result, the Class B Common Stock of CSC became owned by Holdings.
 
The IPO and related transactions and use of proceeds therefrom are referred to herein collectively as the “IDS Transactions.” The corporate reorganization transactions were recorded by CSC at carryover basis. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements include the accounts of CLC and its subsidiaries as if they had been wholly-owned by CSC as of the beginning of the earliest period reported. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
The proceeds of the IPO were allocated to the Class A Common Stock and the underlying 11% Senior Secured Notes based on their respective relative fair values. The price paid for the IDSs was equivalent to the fair value of $7.50 per share of Class A Common Stock and $6.14 in a principal amount of an 11% Senior Secured Note underlying the IDS, and the fair value of the separate notes was equivalent to their face value.
 
Net proceeds from the IPO were approximately $254.5 million after expenses including underwriting discounts and commissions. CSC used a portion of the proceeds from the IPO to make an intercompany loan (the “Intercompany Loan”) to Coinmach in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $81.7 million and

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

a capital contribution to CLC aggregating approximately $170.8 million, of which approximately $165.6 million was contributed by CLC to Coinmach. The Intercompany Loan is represented by an intercompany note from Coinmach for the benefit of CSC (the “Intercompany Note”). Coinmach used the net proceeds along with available cash to (i) redeem a portion of Coinmach’s 9% senior notes due 2010 (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 Coinmach’s senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) and (iii) redeem approximately $91.8 million of CLC’s outstanding Class A Preferred Stock (as defined below) (representing all of its then outstanding Class A Preferred Stock) and approximately $7.4 million of CLC’s outstanding Class B Preferred Stock (representing a portion of its then outstanding Class B Preferred Stock).
 
As a result of the IDS Transactions, the Company incurred approximately $23.5 million in issuance costs, including underwriting discounts and commissions, of which approximately $12.4 million was recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the sale of the equity component of the IDS equity and approximately $11.1 million related to the 11% Senior Secured Notes was capitalized as deferred financing costs to be amortized using the effective interest method through November 24, 2024. The issuance costs were allocated between equity and debt based on the ratio of the respective relative fair values of the components of the IDSs issued. In addition to the issuance costs, CSC incurred certain expenses that were classified as transaction costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, which included (1) the $11.3 million redemption premium on the portion of 9% Senior Notes redeemed, (2) the write-off of the unamortized deferred financing costs related to the redemption of the 9% Senior Notes and the repayment of the term loans aggregating approximately $3.5 million, (3) expenses aggregating approximately $1.8 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 to senior management related to the IDS Transactions aggregating approximately $0.8 million. CSC incurred additional expenses that were classified as transaction costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 of approximately $0.3 million relating to the IDS Transactions.
 
The Class A Common Stock Offering
 
On February 8, 2006, CSC completed a public offering of 12,312,633 shares of Class A Common Stock (including an overallotment exercise by the underwriters on February 17, 2006) at a price to the public of $9.00 per share (the “Class A Offering”). Net proceeds from the Class A Offering, including net proceeds from the exercise of the overallotment option, were approximately $102.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other estimated expenses. To the extent required by the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes, approximately $101.9 million of the net proceeds from the Class A Offering were loaned to Coinmach in the form of additional indebtedness under the Intercompany Loan (such additional indebtedness is referred to as the “Additional Intercompany Loan”). Coinmach distributed the net proceeds from the Class A Offering to CLC who in turn distributed them to the Company. As a result of the Class A Offering, the Company incurred approximately $8.2 million in issuance costs, including underwriting discounts and commissions, which was recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from its sale of the Class A Common Stock. In addition to the issuance costs, CSC incurred certain expenses that were classified as transaction costs on the Consolidated Statements of Operation for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, which included (i) the premium (including an early tender payment of approximately $0.5 million) paid to redeem the 11% Senior Secured Notes of approximately $4.8 million, (ii) the write-off of a proportionate amount of unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $3.4 million and (iii) certain direct expenses related to the Tender Offer of approximately $1.0 million which includes approximately $0.5 million relating to special bonuses.
 
The net proceeds, upon their distribution to CSC, were used (i) to purchase approximately $48.4 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of 11% Senior Secured Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer described

in Note 3, and related fees and expenses, (ii) to repurchase 2,199,413 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by an affiliate of GTCR — CLC, LLC at a repurchase price of $8.505 per share or aggregating approximately $18.7 million, (iii) to repurchase 1,605,995 shares of Class B Common Stock at a repurchase price of $8.505 per share or aggregating approximately $13.7 million and (iv) for general corporate purposes.
 
Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes permits us to merge Laundry Corp. and Coinmach Corp. into CSC. We refer to such potential mergers collectively as the “Merger Event.” If we were to satisfy these and other applicable conditions with respect to the Merger Event and consummate the Merger Event in the future, CSC would become an operating company as well as the direct borrower under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility (as defined above) and sole owner of the capital stock of Coinmach Corp.’s subsidiaries. We are not currently contemplating completion of the Merger Event.
 
Voting Rights of Common Stock
 
Pursuant to CSC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, (i) on all matters for which a vote of CSC stockholders is required, each holder of shares of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share and (ii) only Class A common stockholders may vote, as a single class, to amend provisions of the certificate of incorporation relating to any change that materially adversely affects voting and dividend rights or restrictions solely to which shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled or subject and does not materially adversely affect the voting, dividend or redemption rights or restrictions solely to which shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled or subject, and any such amendment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of such class.
 
In addition, on all matters for which a vote of CSC stockholders is required, each holder of Class B Common Stock is initially entitled to two votes per share. However, if at any time Holdings and certain permitted transferees collectively own less than 25% in the aggregate of our then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the event of any split, reclassification, combination or similar adjustments in shares of CSC common stock), at such time, and at all times thereafter, all holders of Class B Common Stock shall only be entitled to one vote per share on all matters for which a vote of CSC common stockholders is required. The dividend and redemption rights of Class B common stockholders and their exclusive right to vote on the amendment of certain provisions of CSC’s certificate of incorporation would not be affected by such event. Only the Class B common stockholders may vote, as a single class, to amend provisions of the certificate of incorporation relating to (i) an increase or decrease in the number of authorized shares of Class B Common Stock or (ii) changes that affect voting, dividend or redemption rights or restrictions solely to which shares of Class B Common Stock are entitled or subject and do not materially adversely affect the dividend or voting rights or restrictions to which the shares of Class A Common Stock are entitled or subject. Any such amendment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock.
 
On all matters on which all holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to vote, such holders will vote together as a single class, and the a majority of the votes of such class will be required for the approval of any such matter.
 
Dividends
 
CSC currently intends to continue paying dividends on its Class A Common Stock on each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 to holders of record as of the preceding February 25, May 25, August 25 and November 25, respectively, in each case with respect to the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. CSC also currently intends to pay annual dividends on its Class B Common Stock on each June 1 to holders of record as of the preceding May 25 with respect to the immediately preceding fiscal year (beginning with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006), subject to certain limitations and exceptions with respect to such

dividends, if any, payable on June 1, 2006. The payment of dividends by CSC on its common stock is subject to the sole discretion of the board of directors of CSC, various limitations imposed by the certificate of incorporation of CSC, the terms of outstanding indebtedness of CSC and Coinmach, and applicable law. Payment of dividends on all classes of CSC common stock are not cumulative.
 
Appliance Warehouse Transfer
 
On November 29, 2002, Coinmach transferred all of the assets of the Appliance Warehouse division of Coinmach to AWA. The value of the assets transferred as of such date was approximately $34.7 million. In exchange for the transfer of such assets, AWA issued to Coinmach (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.
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Recognition of Revenues
 
The Company has agreements with various property owners that provide for the Company’s 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 Laundry’s 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 $20.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2006, $24.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 and $20.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2004.
 
No single customer represents more than 2% of the Company’s total revenues. In addition, the Company’s ten largest customers taken together account for less than 10% of the Company’s total revenues.

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):
 
                 
    March 31,  
    2006     2005  
 
Laundry equipment
  $ 7,884     $ 8,882  
Machine repair parts
    3,574       3,550  
                 
    $ 11,458     $ 12,432  
                 
 
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, 2006.
 
Assets Held for Sale
 
During the year ended March 31, 2004, the Company constructed five laundromats that were expected to be sold no later than the end of fiscal 2005. Although the laundromats were not sold, the Company continued to market them through September 30, 2005. The Company had determined that the plan of sale criteria in FASB Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” had been met. At September 30, 2005, the Company had accepted an offer to sell one of the laundromats for a purchase price of approximately $350,000, which closed on October 19, 2005, and which resulted in a write down of the related asset value by approximately $190,000. This write down is reflected in Other Items, net, on the Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. In addition, the Company reclassified the balance of the remaining laundromats from Assets Held for Sale to Fixed Assets because the Company has ceased all marketing efforts and has decided to operate these facilities as part of its retail operations. The amount transferred was approximately $1,936,000 as of December 31, 2005, which represents their historical cost. The Company believes the fair value of these laundromats exceeded the historical cost on the date of transfer.

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, 2006 and 2005 is as follows (in thousands):
 
                 
    March 31,  
    2006     2005  
 
Route
  $ 195,026     $ 195,026  
Rental
    8,253       6,837  
Distribution
    2,917       2,917  
                 
    $ 206,196     $ 204,780  
                 
 
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, the Company made several acquisitions aggregating approximately $3.4 million. Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company allocated approximately $1.4 million to goodwill.
 
The Company performed its annual assessment of goodwill as of January 1, 2006 and determined that no impairment exists. There can be no assurances that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge

to income. Goodwill rollforward for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 consists of the following (in thousands):
 
                 
    March 31,  
    2006     2005  
 
Goodwill — beginning of year
  $ 204,780     $ 204,780  
Acquisition
    1,416        
                 
Goodwill — end of year
  $ 206,196     $ 204,780  
                 
 
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,
     
 
2007
  $ 13.3  
2008
    12.9  
2009
    12.6  
2010
    12.3  
2011
    12.0  
 
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 on derivative instruments (interest rate swap agreements).
 
Other Assets
 
At March 31, 2006, other assets include deferred financing costs related to the 11% Senior Secured Notes and the Amended and Restated Credit Facility of approximately $9.9 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $2.6 million.
 
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 stockholder’s equity as a component of comprehensive income and upon settlement subsequently reclassified into earnings.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the expense recognition provisions of SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments (“SFAS 123R”), which requires us to recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments made to employees based on the fair value of the share-based payment at the date of grant. See Note 13 “2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan” for further discussion on stock-based compensation.

a.   11% Senior Secured Notes
 
The 11% Senior Secured Notes were issued on November 24, 2004 and December 21, 2004 as part of the IPO. At March 31, 2006, there was approximately $87.7 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes outstanding.
 
The 11% Senior Secured Notes, which are scheduled to mature on December 1, 2024, are senior secured obligations of the Company and are redeemable, at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice (i) prior to December 1, 2009, upon payment of a make-whole premium and (ii) on or after December 1, 2009, at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
 
On February 8, 2006, the Company completed an offer (which offer commenced on January 5, 2006 and was amended and supplemented on January 17, 2006) to purchase for cash (the “Tender Offer”) approximately $48.4 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 11% Senior Secured Notes. The total consideration offered for each $6.14 principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes tendered was $6.754 plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the payment date for the 11% Senior Secured Notes. Such consideration consisted of (1) $6.6926 per $6.14 principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes and (2) an additional $0.0614 (the “Early Tender Payment”) per $6.14 principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes, which was paid only to such notes which were validly tendered (and not withdrawn) on or prior to January 25, 2006. The total aggregate amount paid by the Company in order to purchase the 11% Senior Secured Notes tendered in the Tender Offer was approximately $55.1 million, including accrued and unpaid interest thereon of approximately $1.8 million.
 
The Company recorded a charge to operations of approximately $9.3 million in fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2006, consisting of (i) the premium paid to redeem such 11% Senior Secured Notes of approximately $4.3 million, (ii) the Early Tender Payment, of approximately $0.5 million, (iii) the write-off of a proportionate amount of unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $3.4 million and (iv) certain direct expenses related to the Tender Offer of approximately $1.0 million which includes approximately $0.5 million relating to special bonuses.
 
Interest on the 11% Senior Secured Notes is payable quarterly, in arrears, in cash on each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, to the holders of record at the close of business on the February 25, May 25, August 25 and November 25, respectively, immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 
The 11% Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first-priority perfected lien, subject to certain permitted liens, on substantially all of the Company’s existing and future assets, including the common stock of AWA, the capital stock of CLC and the Intercompany Note and the related guaranty. The 11% Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by CLC. While we presently do not intend to effect the Merger Event, if we were to consummate the Merger Event, the only lien providing security for the 11% Senior Secured Notes would be a second priority perfected lien (subject to an intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) that was entered into by the trustee under the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes with the collateral agent under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility) on the capital stock of CSC’s direct domestic subsidiaries and 65% of each class of capital stock of CSC’s direct foreign subsidiaries, which lien will be contractually subordinated to the liens of the collateral agent under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement. Consequently, a second priority perfected lien on such capital stock would constitute the only security for the 11% Senior Secured Notes, and the 11% Senior Secured Notes would be effectively subordinated to the obligations outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to the extent of the value of such capital stock. If we were to consummate the Merger Event, the subsidiaries of CSC would guarantee the 11% Senior Secured Notes on a senior unsecured basis.
 
The indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements applicable to the Company and its restricted 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 the Company’s capital stock, the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any of the Company’s capital stock, the voluntary prepayment of subordinated indebtedness, and certain investments); (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; (ix) limitations on exercising Class B Common Stock redemption rights and consummating purchases of Class B Common Stock upon exercise of sales rights by holders; and (x) limitation on consolidations, mergers and sales of substantially all of the Company’s assets.
 
At March 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes and was not aware of any events of default pursuant to the terms of such indebtedness.
 
On April 28, 2006, the Company purchased approximately $5.6 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 11% Senior Secured Notes in open market purchases. The total consideration for each $6.14 principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes purchased was $6.708 plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (aggregating approximately $6.3 million), but excluding, the payment date for the 11% Senior Secured Notes. On May 1, 2006, as a result of such purchase, there was approximately $82.1 million aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior Secured Notes outstanding.
 
The Company will record a charge to operations of approximately $0.9 million in the quarter ending June 30, 2006 which will represent the premium paid to purchase such 11% Senior Secured Notes of approximately $0.5 million and the write-off of a proportionate amount of unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $0.4 million.
 
b.   Amended and Restated Credit Facility
 
On January 25, 2002, Coinmach entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which was comprised of: (i) a revolving credit facility with a maximum borrowing limit of $75 million and (ii) $280 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 
On December 19, 2005, Coinmach, Laundry Corp. and certain subsidiary guarantors entered into an amendment and restatement of the Senior Secured Credit Facility (such amendment and restatement, the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”). The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is comprised of a $570.0 million term loan facility and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility (subject to outstanding letters of credit). The revolver portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility also provides a $15.0 million letter of credit facility and short-term borrowings under a swing line facility of up to $7.5 million. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in all of Coinmach’s real and personal property and is guaranteed by each of Coinmach’s domestic subsidiaries. CLC has pledged the capital stock of Coinmach as collateral under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility for the benefit of the lenders there under.
 
On December 19, 2005, Coinmach borrowed $230.0 million under the term loan facility to refinance approximately $229.3 million aggregate principal amount of then outstanding term debt under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and pay related expenses (the “Credit Facility Refinancing”). On February 1, 2006, Coinmach used $340.0 million of delayed draw term loans to retire all of the then outstanding $324.5 million aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes (plus approximately $14.6 million of related redemption premium) and to pay related fees and expenses.
 
The revolving loans accrue interest, at Coinmach’s option, at a rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of 2.00% or the Eurodollar rate plus 3.00%, subject in each case to performance based adjustments. The term loans accrue interest, at Coinmach’s option, at a rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of 1.50% or the Eurodollar rate plus 2.50%, subject in each case to performance based adjustments. The term loans are scheduled to be fully repaid by December 19, 2012, and the revolving credit facility is scheduled to expire on December 19, 2010. At March 31, 2006, the monthly variable Eurodollar rate was 4.8125%.
 
As a result of the Credit Facility Refinancing, Coinmach incurred approximately $3.1 million in issuance costs related to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs to be amortized using the effective interest method through December 19, 2012. In addition to the issuance costs, Coinmach incurred certain expenses that were classified as transaction costs on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, which included (1) the write-off of the unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility term loans repaid aggregating approximately $1.7 million and (2) expenses aggregating approximately $1.0 million related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility that was amended.
 
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires Coinmach to make certain mandatory repayments, including from (a) 100% of net proceeds from asset sales by Coinmach and its subsidiaries, (b) 100% of the net proceeds from the issuance of debt (with an exception for proceeds from intercompany loans made by Coinmach to us), (c) 50% of annual excess cash flow of Coinmach and its subsidiaries, and (d) 100% of the net proceeds from insurance recovery and condemnation events of Coinmach and its subsidiaries, in each case subject to reinvestment rights, as applicable, and other exceptions generally consistent with the Senior Secured Credit Facility. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, there is no required amount that is payable relating to the annual excess cash flow of the Company.
 
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements applicable to Coinmach which, if the Merger Event were completed, would apply directly to us as borrower under such credit facility, 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 Coinmach’s capital stock or its subsidiaries’ or the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any of its or its subsidiaries capital stock); (iii) voluntary prepayments of previously existing indebtedness; (iv) Investments (as defined in the Amended and Restated 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 Coinmach’s equity

securities; and (xiii) creation of subsidiaries. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility also requires that Coinmach satisfy certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio.
 
If we were to consummate the Merger Event, CSC would replace Coinmach as the borrower under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. As a result of the Merger Event, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility would be secured by a first priority security interest in all of CSC’s real and personal property and would be guaranteed by each of CSC’s domestic subsidiaries.
 
At March 31, 2006, the $569.4 million of term loan borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility had an interest rate of approximately 7.31% and the amount available under the revolving credit portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility was approximately $68.2 million. Letters of credit under the revolver portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility outstanding at March 31, 2006 were approximately $6.8 million.
 
At March 31, 2006, Coinmach was in compliance with the covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and was not aware of any events of default pursuant to the terms of such indebtedness.
 
Debt outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility consists of the following (in thousands):

c.   9% Senior Notes
 
On January 25, 2002, Coinmach issued $450 million aggregate principal amount of the 9% Senior Notes. On December 24, 2004, Coinmach used a portion of the proceeds of the IPO 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).
 
On December 30, 2005, Coinmach delivered notice to the holders of the 9% Senior Notes that, pursuant to the indenture governing such notes, it would retire all of the outstanding 9% Senior Notes on February 1, 2006 at a redemption price equal to 104.5% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. On February 1, 2006, Coinmach used the delayed draw term loans available under the term loan portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to retire all of the $324.5 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes, plus pay approximately $14.6 million of related redemption premium. Coinmach used available cash to pay the approximately $14.6 million regularly scheduled semi-annual aggregate interest payment due on such date. As a result, effective February 1, 2006, no 9% Senior Notes were outstanding.
 
The retirement of the 9% Senior Notes resulted in a charge to operations in the fourth fiscal quarter of approximately $19.2 million consisting of (a) the redemption premium of approximately $14.6 million, (b) the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $4.5 million and (c) related fees and expenses of approximately $0.1 million.

Intercompany Loan
 
In connection with the IDS Transactions, CSC made the Intercompany Loan to Coinmach in an initial principal amount of approximately $81.7 million which is eliminated in consolidation. The Intercompany Loan is represented by the Intercompany Note. As a result of the Additional Intercompany Loan on February 8, 2006 and February 17, 2006, the principal amount of indebtedness represented by the Intercompany Note increased to $183.6 million. 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 Amended and Restated Credit Facility) and ranks senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Coinmach. Certain of Coinmach’s domestic restricted subsidiaries guarantee the Intercompany Loan on a senior unsecured basis. As a result of the retirement on February 1, 2006 of all the outstanding 9% Senior Notes, the Intercompany Loan contains covenants that are substantially the same as those provided in the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. 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 Coinmach 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 Coinmach and increase the principal amount of the Intercompany Loan and the guaranty of the Intercompany Loan.
 
If we were to consummate the Merger Event, the Intercompany Loan would no longer be outstanding.
 
At March 31, 2006, Coinmach was in compliance with the covenants under the Intercompany Loan and was not aware of any events of default pursuant to the terms of such indebtedness.
 
Interest Rate Swaps
 
On November 17, 2005, Coinmach entered into two separate interest rate swap agreements, effective February 1, 2006, totaling $230.0 million in aggregate notional amount that effectively convert a portion of its floating-rate term loans pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to a fixed rate basis, thereby reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The two swap agreements consist of: (i) a $115.0 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 4.90% and expiring on November 1, 2010, and (ii) a $115.0 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 4.89% and expiring on November 1,

2010. 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 $1.1 million, net of tax, in the stockholders’ equity section for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, relating to the interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges.
 
4.   Retirement Savings Plan
 
Coinmach 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.
 
Contributions to such plan amounted to approximately $500,000 for the year ended March 31, 2006, $502,000 for the year ended March 31, 2005 and $499,000 for the year ended March 31, 2004. The Company does not provide any other post-retirement benefits.

6.   Loss per Common Share
 
Basic loss per share for the two classes of common stock is calculated by dividing net loss, adjusted for dividends, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock plus the potentially dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. Diluted loss per share for the Company’s two classes of common stock will be the same as basic loss per share because the Company does not have any dilutive securities outstanding.
 
Undistributed net loss is allocated to the Company’s two classes of common stock based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding since both classes have the same participation rights. In computing the weighted average number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the calculation assumes that the Class B Common Stock was outstanding for the entire fiscal year. In computing the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, the calculation assumes that there was no Class A Common Stock

On February 9, 2006, the board of directors of CSC declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20615 per share of Class A Common Stock (or approximately $6.0 million in the aggregate), which cash dividend was paid on March 1, 2006 to holders of record as of the close of business on February 27, 2006 (including holders of Class A Common Stock sold in the Class A Offering).
 
On May 10, 2006, the board of directors of CSC declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20615 per share of Class A Common Stock (or approximately $6.0 million in aggregate) and a cash dividend of $0.53477 per share of Class B Common Stock for its fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 (or $12.5 million in aggregate), which cash dividend was paid on June 1, 2006 to holders of record as of the close of business on May 25, 2006.
 
7.   Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Equity
 
In July 2000, CLC issued (i) 20.77 shares of Class A preferred stock accruing cash dividends on a quarterly basis at an annual rate of 12.5% (which increased to 14% on November 15, 2002) on the sum of the liquidation value thereof plus accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (the “Class A Preferred Stock”), (ii) 53.84 shares of Class B preferred stock accruing cash dividends on a quarterly basis at an annual rate of 8% on the sum of the liquidation value thereof plus accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (the “Class B Preferred Stock” and, together with the Class A Preferred Stock, (the “Preferred Stock”) and

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

(iii) 59,823.30 shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Preferred Stock did not have voting rights, had a liquidation value of $2.5 million per share and was mandatory redeemable on July 5, 2010.
 
On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equities. This standard requires, among other things, that any of various financial instruments that are issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable on a fixed or determinable date be classified as liabilities, any dividends paid on the underlying shares be treated as interest expense, and issuance costs should be deferred and amortized using the interest method. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 (July 1, 2003 for CLC). As required by SFAS No. 150, accrued and unpaid dividends in fiscal years prior to adoption of SFAS No. 150 were not reclassified to interest expense. Effective April 1, 2003, dividends on the Preferred Stock have been classified as interest expense. For the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had recorded approximately $18.2 million and $24.7 million, respectively, of Preferred Stock dividends as interest expense.
 
In November 2004 and December 2004, in connection with the IDS Transaction, a portion of the net proceeds from the initial public offering were used to redeem approximately $91.8 million of the Class A Preferred Stock (representing all of its outstanding Class A Preferred Stock) and approximately $7.4 million of the Class B Preferred Stock. All unredeemed preferred stock of CLC was exchanged by Holdings with CSC for additional shares of Class B Common Stock.
 
Under CLC’s equity participation plan (the “Equity Participation Plan”), in July 2000, loans were extended by CLC (the “EPP Loans”) to certain employees for the purchase of Common Stock at a fixed price per share equal to the fair market value of such Common Stock at the time of issuance as determined by the board of directors of CLC. Additionally, certain members of senior management of the Company also acquired Class B Preferred Stock at such time. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Participation Plan, the Preferred Stock was fully vested at the time of purchase, and the Common Stock vested over a specified period, typically over four years.
 
In March 2003, through a series of transactions, all of the outstanding capital stock of CLC was contributed to Holdings in exchange for substantially equivalent equity interests in the form of common membership units (the “Common Units”) and preferred membership units (the “Preferred Units”) in Holdings. Accordingly, CLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings.
 
The EPP Loans are payable in installments over ten years and accrue interest at a rate of 7% per annum. There are no shares reserved for future issuance. The Equity Participation Plan contains certain restrictions on the transfer of the Common and Preferred Units.
 
At March 31, 2006, there were 26,973,222 Common Units and 667 Preferred Units outstanding and all were vested under the Equity Participation Plan.
 
Previously due installments on the EPP Loans have been forgiven by the Company on or prior to their respective due dates. As a result, such loans are considered non-recourse and therefore treated as an award of stock requiring the recognition of compensation expense. Such expense is measured at fair value as of the time the stock award vests and is subsequently remeasured for changes in fair value until such time as the measurement date is established (upon forgiveness or repayment of the entire loan). CLC has recorded compensation expense of approximately $12,000, $74,000 and $176,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.

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.

In addition, in February 2006, the Company awarded 11,111 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock to a director of the Company, as noted in Footnote 13, “2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan.”
 
11.   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 Amended and Restated Credit Facility, and other long-term debt approximate their fair value at March 31, 2006.
 
The carrying amount and related estimated fair value for the 11% Senior Secured Notes are as follows (in thousands):
 
                 
    Carrying
    Estimated Fair
 
    Amount     Value  
 
IDS 11% Senior Secured Notes at March 31, 2006
  $ 87,716     $ 98,859  
IDS 11% Senior Secured Notes at March 31, 2005
  $ 116,117     $ 114,226  
 
The fair value of the 11% Senior Secured Notes are based on quoted market prices.
 
12.   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 Company’s 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 and collecting revenues generated from laundry machines. 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 Company’s 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 through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Super Laundry. 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.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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. Management’s 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

13.   2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan
 
In November 2004, the board of directors of CSC adopted the CSC Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2004 LTIP”). The 2004 LTIP provides for the grant of non-qualified options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, full value awards and cash incentive awards. The maximum number of securities available for awards under the 2004 LTIP is 15% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock immediately following consummation of the IDS Transactions, which equals 6,583,796 shares. As of March 31, 2006, the board of directors of CSC had authorized up to 2,836,729 shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance under the 2004 LTIP.
 
On January 4, 2006, the compensation committee of the CSC board of directors awarded restricted shares of Class A Common Stock to certain executive officers and resolved to recommend to the board of directors the award of restricted shares of Class A Common Stock to certain board members. On January 26, 2006, the board of directors approved such recommendation. Such awards were granted in aggregate dollar amounts, with the actual number of shares issued determined by dividing the price to the public of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued in the Class A Offering by such dollar amounts, which are described below.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 
The restricted stock awards were as follows: (i) with respect to executive officers, $460,000 (or 51,111 shares in the aggregate) (ii) with respect to our independent directors, $45,000 (or 5,001 shares in the aggregate) and (iii) with respect to a director, $100,000 (or 11,111 shares). In addition, $200,000 worth of restricted shares of Class A Common Stock (or 22,222 shares) were designated for an employee pool, awarded to employees (such award together with the restricted stock awards approved by the board of directors of CSC, the “Restricted Stock Awards”) other than executive officers at the discretion of the Company’s chief executive officer.
 
The Restricted Stock Awards to the independent directors were fully vested on the date of grant, and those to the director, the executive officers and the employees vested 20% on the date of grant and the balance at 20% per year over a consecutive four-year period thereafter. In addition, the Restricted Stock Awards to the executive officers and the director vest upon a change of control of CSC or upon the death or disability of the award recipient and contain all of the rights and are subject to all of the restrictions of Class A Common Stock prior to becoming fully vested, including voting and dividend rights.
 
On February 15, 2006, the Company issued 88,889 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock. The fair value of the restricted stock issued of $9.01 per share will be recorded as compensation expense over the vesting periods. Compensation expense of approximately $0.2 million has been recorded for the year ended March 31, 2006. The Company has estimated the forfeiture rate to be zero.
 
A summary of the status of the Company’s restricted shares as of March 31, 2006 and changes during the year ended March 31, 2006 is presented below.

As of March 31, 2006, there was approximately $0.6 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted share compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4 years.
 
14.   Subsequent Event
 
On April 3, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of American Sales, Inc. (“ASI”) for a purchase price of approximately $15.0 million, subject to the outcome of certain purchase price adjustments. ASI is a leading laundry service provider to colleges and universities in the mid-west with 40 years of experience and more than 45 partner schools.

Basic and diluted loss per share for Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock for the three months ended December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, was calculated by dividing the loss attributable to Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock by the respective weighted average number of shares outstanding. For the three months ended June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004, there was no Class A Common Stock outstanding. For these periods, the calculation of net loss attributable to common stockholders per share of Class B Common Stock assumes 24,980,445 shares of Class B Common Stock were outstanding.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors of
Coinmach Laundry Corporation
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Coinmach Laundry Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2006. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index. These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Laundry Corporation and Subsidiaries at March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2006, 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 financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
 
As discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, effective April 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equities”.

Coinmach Laundry Corporation and Subsidiaries
 
 
1.   Basis of Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coinmach Laundry Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Laundry Corp.”), and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Coinmach Corporation (“Coinmach Corp.”). All significant intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Coinmach Laundry Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coinmach Service Corp., a Delaware corporation (“CSC”). Unless otherwise specified herein, references to the “Company,” “we”, “us” and “our” shall mean Laundry Corp. and its subsidiaries.
 
The Company is a provider of outsourced laundry equipment services for multi-family housing properties in North America. The Company’s 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, and collecting revenues generated from laundry machines. Through Appliance Warehouse of America Inc. (“AWA”), a Delaware corporation jointly owned by CSC and Coinmach Corp., 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 Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Coinmach Corp., constructs, designs and retrofits laundromats and distributes laundromat equipment.
 
In November and December 2004, CSC completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) 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”), the former parent of the Company, exchanged its Laundry Corp. capital stock and all of its shares of common stock of AWA, 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.”
 
CSC used a portion of the proceeds from the IPO to make an intercompany loan (the “Intercompany Loan”) to Coinmach Corp. in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $81.7 million and a capital contribution (the “Capital Contribution”) to Laundry Corp. aggregating approximately $170.8 million. Laundry Corp. then contributed approximately $165.6 million to Coinmach Corp. Coinmach Corp. then made a dividend payment to Laundry Corp. of approximately $93.5 million.
 
Coinmach Corp. used the net proceeds from the IPO along with available cash to (i) redeem a portion of the 9% senior notes due 2010 of Coinmach Corp. (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 Coinmach Corp.’s senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) and (iii) redeem approximately $91.8 million of its outstanding Class A preferred stock (representing all of Laundry Corp.’s outstanding Class A preferred stock) and approximately $7.4 million of its outstanding Class B preferred stock (representing a portion of the then outstanding Class B preferred stock).
 
On February 8, 2006, CSC completed a public offering of 12,312,633 shares of CSC Class A common stock (including an overallotment exercise by the indentures on February 17, 2006) at a price to the public of $9.00 per share (the “Class A Offering”). Net proceeds from the Class A Offering, including the exercise of the overallotment option, were approximately $102.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other estimated expenses. To the extent required by the indenture governing the 11% senior secured notes, due 2024, approximately $101.9 million of the net proceeds from the Class A Offering were loaned to Coinmach Corp. in the form of additional indebtedness under the Intercompany Loan (such additional indebtedness is referred to as the “Additional Intercompany Loan”). Coinmach Corp. distributed the net proceeds from the Class A Offering to Laundry Corp. who in turn distributed them to CSC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 
The net proceeds, upon their distribution to CSC, were used (i) to purchase approximately $48.4 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 11% senior secured notes due 2024 pursuant to a tender offer and related fees and expenses, (ii) to repurchase 2,199,413 shares of CSC Class A common stock owned by an affiliate of GTCR — CLC, LLC at a repurchase price of $8.505 per share, (iii) to repurchase 1,605,995 shares of CSC Class B common stock at a repurchase price of $8.505 per share and (iv) for general corporate purposes.
 
Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes permits us to merge Laundry Corp. and Coinmach Corp. into CSC. We refer to such potential mergers collectively as the “Merger Event.” If we were to satisfy these and other applicable conditions with respect to the Merger Event and consummate the Merger Event in the future, CSC would become an operating company as well as the direct borrower under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility (as defined above) and sole owner of the capital stock of Coinmach Corp.’s subsidiaries. We are not currently contemplating completion of the Merger Event.
 
Appliance Warehouse Transfer
 
On November 29, 2002, Coinmach Corp. transferred all of the assets of the Appliance Warehouse division of Coinmach Corp. to AWA. The value of the assets transferred as of such date was approximately $34.7 million. In exchange for the transfer of such assets, AWA issued to Coinmach Corp. (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 Laundry Corp.’s 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 AWA’s Preferred Stock dividend requirements exceed its net income and CSC is not obligated to fund AWA’s losses. Minority interest will be recorded in the future for the amount of AWA’s net income that exceeds the preferred stock dividend requirements.
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Recognition of Revenues
 
The Company has agreements with various property owners that provide for the Company’s 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 
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 Laundry’s 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 $20.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2006, $24.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 and $20.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2004.
 
No single customer represents more than 2% of the Company’s total revenues. In addition, the Company’s ten largest customers taken together, account for less than 10% of the Company’s 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):
 
                 
    March 31,  
    2006     2005  
 
Laundry equipment
  $ 7,884     $ 8,882  
Machine repair parts
    3,574       3,550  
                 
    $ 11,458     $ 12,432  
                 
 
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, 2006.
 
Assets Held for Sale
 
During the year ended March 31, 2004, the Company constructed five laundromats that were expected to be sold no later than the end of fiscal 2005. Although the laundromats were not sold, the Company continued

to market them through September 30, 2005. The Company had determined that the plan of sale criteria in FASB Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” had been met. At September 30, 2005, the Company had accepted an offer to sell one of the laundromats for a purchase price of approximately $350,000, which closed on October 19, 2005 and which resulted in a write down of the related asset value by approximately $190,000. This write down is reflected in Other Items, net, on the Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. In addition, the Company reclassified the balance of the remaining laundromats from Assets Held for Sale to Fixed Assets because the Company has ceased all marketing efforts and has decided to operate these facilities as part of its retail operations. The amount transferred was approximately $1,936,000 as of December 31, 2005, which represents their historical cost. The Company believes the fair value of these laundromats exceeded the historical cost on the date of transfer.
 
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, 2006 and 2005 is as follows (in thousands):
 
                 
    March 31,  
    2006     2005

    $ 206,196     $ 204,780  
                 
 
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, the Company made several acquisitions aggregating approximately $3.4 million. Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company allocated approximately $1.4 million to goodwill.
 
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. Goodwill rollforward for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 consists of the following (in thousands):
 
                 
    March 31,  
    2006     2005  
 
Goodwill — beginning of year
  $ 204,780     $ 204,780

Goodwill — end of year
  $ 206,196     $ 204,780  
                 
 
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,
       
2007
  $ 13.3  
2008
    12.9  
2009
    12.6  
2010
    12.3  
2011
    12.0  
 
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


F-49

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

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’ deficit excluding changes in ownership interests. Comprehensive (loss) consists of gains on derivative instruments (interest rate swap agreements).
 
Other Assets
 
At March 31, 2006, other assets include deferred financing costs related to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility of approximately $3.0 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $2.0 million.
 
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’ deficit as a component of comprehensive income and upon settlement subsequently reclassified into earnings.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the expense recognition provisions of SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments (“SFAS 123R”), which requires us to recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments made to employees based on the fair value of the share-

a.  Amended and Restated Credit Facility
 
On December 19, 2005, Coinmach Corp., Laundry Corp. and certain subsidiary guarantors entered into an amendment and restatement of the Series Secured Credit Facility (such amendment and restatement, the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”), which is comprised of a $570.0 million term loan facility and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility (subject to outstanding letters of credit). Such credit facility amended and restated the credit facility originally entered into on January 25, 2002. The term loans are scheduled to be fully repaid by December 19, 2012, and the revolving credit facility is scheduled to expire on December 19, 2010. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in all of Coinmach Corp.’s real and personal property and is guaranteed by each of Coinmach Corp.’s domestic subsidiaries. CLC has pledged the capital stock of Coinmach Corp. as collateral under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility for the benefit of the lenders thereunder.
 
On December 19, 2005, Coinmach Corp. borrowed $230.0 million under the term loan facility to refinance approximately $229.3 million aggregate principal amount of then outstanding term debt under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and pay related expenses (The “Credit Facility Refinancing”). On February 1, 2006, Coinmach Corp. used $340.0 million of delayed draw term loans to retire all of the then outstanding $324.5 million aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes (plus approximately $14.6 million of related redemption premium) and to pay related fees and any expenses.
 
The revolving loans accrue interest, at the borrower’s option, at a rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of 2.00% or the Eurodollar rate plus 3.00%, subject in each case to performance based adjustments. The term loans accrue interest, at the borrower’s option, at a rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of 1.50% or the Eurodollar rate plus 2.50%, subject in each case to performance based adjustments. At March 31, 2006, the monthly variable Eurodollar rate was 4.8125%.
 
As a result of the Credit Facility Refinancing, Coinmach Corp. incurred approximately $3.1 in issuance costs related to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, which was capitalized as deferred financing costs to be amortized using the effective interest method through December 19, 2012. In addition to the issuance costs, Coinmach Corp. incurred certain expenses that were classified as transaction costs on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, which included (1) the write-off of the unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility term loans repaid

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

aggregating approximately $1.7 million and (2) expenses aggregating approximately $1.0 million related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility that was amended.
 
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires Coinmach Corp. to make certain mandatory repayments, including from (a) 100% of net proceeds from asset sales by Coinmach Corp. and its subsidiaries, (b) 100% of the net proceeds from the issuance of debt (with an exception for proceeds from intercompany loans made by Coinmach Corp. to CSC), (c) 50% of annual excess cash flow of Coinmach Corp. and its subsidiaries, and (d) 100% of the net proceeds from insurance recovery and condemnation events of Coinmach Corp. and its subsidiaries, in each case subject to reinvestment rights, as applicable, and other exceptions generally consistent with the Senior Secured Credit Facility. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, there is no required amount that is payable relating to the annual excess cash flow of the Company.
 
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements applicable to Coinmach Corp. which, if we were to consummate the Merger Event, would apply directly to us as borrower under such credit facility, 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 Coinmach Corp.’s capital stock or its subsidiaries or the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any of its or its subsidiaries’ capital stock); (iii) voluntary prepayments of previously existing indebtedness; (iv) Investments (as defined in the Amended and Restated 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 Coinmach Corp.’s equity securities; and (xiii) creation of subsidiaries. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility also requires that Coinmach Corp. satisfy certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio.
 
If we were to consummate the Merger Event, we would become the direct borrower under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and sole owner of the capital stock of Coinmach Corp.’s subsidiaries. As a result of the Merger Event, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility would be secured by a first priority security interest in all of CSC’s real and personal property and would be guaranteed by each of CSC’s domestic subsidiaries.
 
Under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, the Merger Event is permitted at any time, provided that either (i) after giving effect to the merger event, we had a ratio of consolidated indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA of no more than 3.9 to 1.0, or (ii) our total consolidated indebtedness at the time of the merger event is at least $50.0 million less than our total consolidated indebtedness on the date the Amended and Restated Credit agreement was entered into, after giving effect to the refinancing of approximately $229.3 million of term debt under the Senior Secured Credit Facility (which for such purpose reductions in outstanding revolver loans are disregarded unless accompanied by corresponding permanent commitment reductions).
 
At March 31, 2006, the $569.4 million of term loan borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility had an interest rate of approximately 7.31% and the amount available under the revolving credit portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility was approximately $68.2 million. Letters of credit under the revolver portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility outstanding at March 31, 2006 were approximately $6.8 million.
 
At March 31, 2006, Coinmach Corp. was in compliance with the covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and was not aware of any events of default pursuant to the terms of such indebtedness.

b.  9% Senior Notes
 
On January 25, 2002, Coinmach Corp. issued $450 million aggregate principal amount of the 9% Senior Notes. On December 24, 2004, Coinmach Corp. used a portion of the proceeds from the IPO 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).
 
On December 30, 2005, Coinmach Corp. delivered notice to the holders of the 9% Senior Notes that, pursuant to the indenture governing such notes, it would retire all of the outstanding 9% Senior Notes on February 1, 2006 at a redemption price equal to 104.5% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. On February 1, 2006, Coinmach Corp. used the delayed draw term loans available under the term loan portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to retire all of the $324.5 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes, plus pay approximately $14.6 million of related redemption premium. Coinmach Corp. used available cash to pay the approximately $14.6 million regularly scheduled semi-annual aggregate interest payment due on such date. As a result, effective February 1, 2006, no 9% Senior Notes were outstanding.
 
The retirement of the 9% Senior Notes resulted in a charge to operations in the fourth fiscal quarter of approximately $19.2 million, consisting of (a) the redemption premium of approximately $14.6 million, (b) the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $4.5 million and (c) related fees and expenses of approximately $0.1 million.

c.  Interest Rate Swaps
 
On November 17, 2005, Coinmach Corp. entered into two separate interest rate swap agreements, effective February 1, 2006, totaling $230.0 million in aggregate notional amount that effectively convert a portion of its floating-rate term loans pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to a fixed rate basis, thereby reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The two swap agreements consist of: (i) a $115.0 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 4.90% and expiring on November 1, 2010, and (ii) a $115.0 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 4.89% and expiring on November 1, 2010. 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 $1.1 million, net of tax, in the stockholders’ equity section for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, relating to the interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges.
 
4.   Intercompany Loan
 
In connection with the IDS Transactions, CSC made the Intercompany Loan to Coinmach Corp. in an initial principal amount of approximately $81.7 million which is eliminated in consolidation. The Intercompany Loan is represented by the Intercompany Note. As a result of the Additional Intercompany Loan on February 8, 2006 and February 17, 2006, the principal amount of indebtedness represented by the Intercompany Note increased to $183.6 million. 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 Corp., ranks equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of Coinmach Corp. (including indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility) and ranks senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Coinmach Corp. Certain of Coinmach Corp.’s domestic restricted subsidiaries guarantee the Intercompany Loan on a senior unsecured basis. As a result of the retirement on February 1, 2006 of all the outstanding 9% Senior Notes, the Intercompany Loan contains covenants that are substantially the same as those provided in the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. 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 Coinmach Corp. 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 CSC Class A common stock, a portion of the net proceeds of such offering, subject to certain limitations, will be loaned to Coinmach Corp. and increase the principal amount of the Intercompany Loan and the guaranty of the Intercompany Loan.
 
If we were to consummate the Merger Event, the Intercompany Loan would no longer be outstanding.
 
At March 31, 2006, Coinmach Corp. was in compliance with the covenants under the Intercompany Loan and was not aware of any events of default pursuant to the terms of such indebtedness.
 
5.   Retirement Savings Plan
 
Coinmach Corp. 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.
 
Contributions to such plan amounted to approximately $500,000 for the year ended March 31, 2006, $502,000 for the year ended March 31, 2005 and $499,000 for the year ended March 31, 2004. The Company does not provide any other post-retirement benefits.

7.   Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Deficit
 
In August 2003, the Company affected a two thousand five hundred-for-one reverse stock split for its Common Stock and its Preferred Stock, as defined herein. All outstanding share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
 
In July 2000, Laundry Corp. issued (i) 20.77 shares of Class A preferred stock accruing cash dividends on a quarterly basis at an annual rate of 12.5% (which increased to 14% on November 15, 2002) on the sum of the liquidation value thereof plus accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (the “Class A Preferred Stock”), (ii) 53.84 shares of Class B preferred stock accruing cash dividends on a quarterly basis at an annual rate of 8% on the sum of the liquidation value thereof plus accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (the “Class B Preferred Stock” and, together with the Class A Preferred Stock, (the “Preferred Stock”) and (iii) 59,823.30 shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Preferred Stock does not have voting rights, had a liquidation value of $2.5 million per share and is mandatorily redeemable on July 5, 2010.
 
On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equities. This standard requires, among other things, that any of various financial instruments that are issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable on a fixed or determinable date be classified as liabilities, any dividends paid on the underlying shares be treated as interest expense, and issuance costs should be deferred and amortized using the interest method. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 (July 1, 2003 for Laundry Corp.). As required by SFAS No. 150, accrued and unpaid dividends in fiscal years prior to adoption of SFAS No. 150 were not reclassified to interest expense. Effective April 1, 2003, dividends on the Preferred Stock have been classified as interest expense. For the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company has recorded approximately $14.6 million, $22.7 million, and $24.7 million respectively, of Preferred Stock dividends as interest expense. The Preferred Stock is carried at the amount of cash that would be paid under their terms if the shares were repurchased or redeemed at the reporting date. The cumulative and unpaid dividends as of March 31, 2006 were approximately $48.1 million.
 
In November 2004 and December 2004, in connection with the IDS Transactions, a portion of the net proceeds from the initial public offering were used to redeem approximately $91.8 million of the Class A Preferred Stock (representing all of the outstanding Class A Preferred Stock) and approximately $7.4 million of the Class B Preferred Stock. All unredeemed Preferred Stock was exchanged by Holdings with CSC for

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

additional shares of CSC Class B common stock. Therefore, all of the Class B Preferred Stock outstanding is now held by CSC.
 
Under Laundry Corp.’s equity participation plan (the “Equity Participation Plan”), in July 2000, loans were extended by Laundry Corp. (the “EPP Loans”) to certain employees for the purchase of Common Stock at a fixed price per share equal to the fair market value of such Common Stock at the time of issuance as determined by the board of directors of Laundry Corp. Additionally, certain members of senior management of the Company also acquired Class B Preferred Stock at such time. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Participation Plan, the Preferred Stock was fully vested at the time of purchase, and the Common Stock vested over a specified period, typically over four years.
 
In March 2003, through a series of transactions, all of the outstanding capital stock of Laundry Corp. was contributed to Holdings in exchange for substantially equivalent equity interests (in the form of common membership units (the “Common Units”) and preferred membership units (the “Preferred Units”)) in Holdings. Accordingly, Laundry Corp. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings.
 
The EPP Loans are payable in installments over ten years and accrue interest at a rate of 7% per annum. There are no shares reserved for future issuance. The Equity Participation Plan contains certain restrictions on the transfer of the Common Units and the Preferred Units.
 
At March 31, 2006, there were 26,973,222 Common Units and 667 Preferred Units outstanding and all were vested under the Equity Participation Plan.
 
Previously due installments on the EPP Loans have been forgiven by the Company on or prior to their respective due dates. As a result, such loans are considered non-recourse and therefore treated as an award of stock requiring the recognition of compensation expense. Such expense is measured at fair value as of the time the stock award vests and is subsequently remeasured for changes in fair value until such time as the measurement date is established (upon forgiveness or repayment of the entire loan). The Company has recorded compensation expense of approximately $12,000, $74,000 and $176,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
8.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
Rental expense for all operating leases, which principally cover offices and warehouse facilities, laundromats and vehicles, was approximately $10.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2006, $9.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 and $8.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2004.
 
Certain leases entered into by the Company are classified as capital leases. Amortization expense related to equipment under capital leases is included with depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

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, 2006 were approximately $6.8 million.
 
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.
 
9.   Related Party Transactions
 
In February 1997, the Company extended a loan to an executive officer in the principal amount of $500,000 currently payable in ten equal annual installments ending in July 2006 (each payment date, a “Payment Date”), with interest accruing at a rate of 7.5% per annum. The loan provides that payment of principal and interest will be forgiven on each payment date based on certain conditions. The amounts forgiven are charged to general and administrative expenses. The balance of such loan of approximately $50,000 and $100,000 is included in other assets as of March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, respectively.
 
On May 5, 1999, the Company extended a loan to an executive officer of the Company in a principal amount of $250,000 to be repaid in a single payment on the third anniversary of such loan with interest accruing at a rate of 8% per annum. On March 15, 2002, the Company and the executive officer entered into a replacement promissory note in exchange for the original note evidencing the loan. The replacement note is in an original principal amount of $282,752, the outstanding loan balance under the replacement note is payable in equal annual installments of $56,550 commencing on March 15, 2003 and the obligations under the replacement note are secured, pursuant to an amendment to the replacement note dated March 6, 2003, by a pledge of certain preferred and common units of Holdings held by such executive officer. Through March 31, 2006, the Company forgave an aggregate amount of principal and interest of approximately $226,150 under such loan. The outstanding balance of such loan is included in other assets as of March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005.
 
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, the Company paid a member of each of the Company’s board of directors, the Coinmach Corp. board of directors, the Holdings board of managers

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

and the CSC board of directors, $193,000 and $180,000, respectively, for general financial advisory and investment banking services which are recorded in general and administrative expenses. CSC paid a one time fee of $500,000 to a director in connection with the IDS Transactions, and a one time fee of $125,000 to the director in connection with the Credit Facility Refinancing. In addition, in February 2006, CSC awarded 11,111 restricted shares of CSC Class A common stock to a director of CSC, as noted in Footnote 13, “2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan”.
 
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 Amended and Restated Credit Facility, and other long-term debt approximate their fair value at March 31, 2006.
 
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 Company’s 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, and collecting revenues generated from laundry machines. 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 Company’s 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 through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Super Laundry. 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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. Management’s 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. The following table reconciles the Company’s net loss to EBITDA for each period presented (in millions):

13.   2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan
 
In November 2004, the board of directors of CSC adopted the CSC Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2004 LTIP”). The 2004 LTIP provides for the grant of non-qualified options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, full value awards and cash incentive awards. The maximum number of securities available for awards under the 2004 LTIP is 15% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of CSC Class A common stock and CSC Class B common stock immediately following consummation of the IDS Transactions, which equals 6,583,796 shares. As of March 31, 2006, the board of directors of CSC had authorized up to 2,836,729 shares of CSC Class A common stock for issuance under the 2004 LTIP.
 
On January 4, 2006, the compensation committee of the CSC board of directors awarded restricted shares of CSC Class A common stock to certain executive officers and resolved to recommend to the board of directors the award of restricted shares of CSC Class A common stock to certain board members. On January 26, 2006, the board of directors approved such recommendation. Such awards were granted in aggregate dollar amounts, with the actual number of shares issued determined by dividing the price to the public of the shares of CSC Class A common stock issued in the Class A Offering by such dollar amounts, which are described below.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 
The restricted stock awards were as follows:(i) with respect to executive officers, $460,000 (or 51,111 shares in the aggregate) (ii) with respect to our independent directors, $45,000 (or 5,001 shares in the aggregate) and (iii) with respect to a director, $100,000 (or 11,111 shares). In addition, $200,000 worth of restricted shares of CSC Class A common stock (or 22,222 shares) were designated for an employee pool, awarded to employees (such award together with the restricted stock awards approved by the board of directors of CSC, the “Restricted Stock Awards”) other than executive officers at the discretion of the Company’s chief executive officer.
 
The Restricted Stock Awards to the independent directors were fully vested on the date of grant, and those to the director, the executive officers and the employees vested 20% on the date of grant and the balance at 20% per year over a consecutive four-year period thereafter. In addition, the Restricted Stock Awards to the executive officers and the director vest upon a change of control of CSC or upon the death or disability of the award recipient and contain all of the rights and are subject to all of the restrictions of CSC Class A common stock prior to becoming fully vested, including voting and dividend rights.
 
On February 15, 2006 CSC issued 88,889 restricted shares of CSC Class A common stock. The fair value of the restricted stock issued of $9.01 per share will be recorded as compensation expense over the vesting period. Laundry Corp. has recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. The Company has estimated the forfeiture rate to be zero.
 
A summary of the status of the CSC’s restricted shares as of March 31, 2006 and changes during the year ended March 31, 2006 is presented below.

As of March 31, 2006, there was approximately $0.6 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted share compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4 years.
 
14.   Subsequent Event
 
On April 3, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of American Sales, Inc. (“ASI”) for a purchase price of approximately $15.0 million, subject to the outcome of certain purchase price adjustments. ASI is a leading laundry service provider to colleges and universities in the mid-west with 40 years of experience and more than 45 partner schools.

Coinmach Laundry Corporation and Subsidiaries
 
Schedule I — Condensed Financial Statements
 
 
1.   Basis of Presentation
 
In Coinmach Laundry Corporation (“CLC” or “Laundry Corp.”) — only financial statements, CLC’s investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings of subsidiaries since date of acquisition. CLC-only financial statements should be read in conjunction with CLC’s consolidated financial statements.
 
2.   Redeemable Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Deficit
 
In August 2003, CLC affected a two thousand five hundred-for-one reverse stock split for its Common Stock and its Preferred Stock, as defined herein. All outstanding share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
 
In July 2000, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Laundry Corp. was cancelled, and Laundry Corp. issued (i) 20.77 shares of Class A preferred stock accruing cash dividends on a quarterly basis at an annual rate of 12.5% (which increased to 14% on November 15, 2002) on the sum of the liquidation value thereof plus accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (the “Class A Preferred Stock”), (ii) 53.84 shares of Class B preferred stock accruing cash dividends on a quarterly basis at an annual rate of 8% on the sum of the liquidation value thereof plus accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (the “Class B Preferred Stock” and, together with the Class A Preferred Stock, (the “Preferred Stock”) and (iii) 59,823.30 shares of common stock, par value $2.50 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Preferred Stock does not have voting rights, has a liquidation value of $2.5 million per share and is mandatorily redeemable on July 5, 2010.
 
On May 15, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equities. This standard requires, among other things, that any of various financial instruments that are issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable on a fixed or determinable date be classified as liabilities, any dividends paid on the underlying shares be treated as interest expense, and issuance costs should be deferred and amortized using the interest method. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments created or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003 (July 1, 2003 for Laundry Corp.). As required by SFAS No. 150, accrued and unpaid dividends in fiscal years prior to adoption of SFAS No. 150 were not reclassified to interest expense. Effective April 1, 2003, dividends on the Preferred Stock have been classified as interest expense. For the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, CLC has recorded approximately $14.6 million, $22.7 million, and $24.7 million, respectively, of Preferred Stock dividends as interest expense. The Preferred Stock is carried at the amount of cash that would be paid under their terms if the shares were repurchased or redeemed at the reporting date. The cumulative and unpaid dividends as of March 31, 2006 were approximately $48.1 million.
 
In November 2004 and December 2004, in connection with an initial public offering by Coinmach Service Corp., the parent of, a portion of the net proceeds from the initial public offering were used to redeem approximately $91.8 million of the Class A Preferred Stock (representing all of the outstanding Class A Preferred Stock) and approximately $7.4 million of the Class B Preferred Stock. All unredeemed Preferred Stock was exchanged by Coinmach Holding, LLC (“Holding”), the former parent of Laundry Corp. with CSC for additional shares of CSC Class B common stock. Therefore, all of the Class B Preferred Stock outstanding is now held by CSC.
 
Under Laundry Corp.’s equity participation plan (the “Equity Participation Plan”), in July 2000, loans were extended by Laundry Corp. (the “EPP Loans”) to certain employees for the purchase of Common Stock at a fixed price per share equal to the fair market value of such Common Stock at the time of issuance as determined by the board of directors of Laundry Corp. Additionally, certain members of senior management of

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements — (Continued)

the Company also acquired Class B Preferred Stock at such time. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Participation Plan, the Preferred Stock was fully vested at the time of purchase, and the Common Stock vested over a specified period, typically over four years.
 
In March 2003, through a series of transactions, all of the outstanding capital stock of Laundry Corp. was contributed to Holdings in exchange for substantially equivalent equity interests (in the form of common membership units (the “Common Units”) and preferred membership units (the “Preferred Units”)) in Holdings. Accordingly, Laundry Corp. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings.
 
The EPP Loans are payable in installments over ten years and accrue interest at a rate of 7% per annum. There are no shares reserved for future issuance. The Equity Participation Plan contains certain restrictions on the transfer of the Common Units and the Preferred Units.
 
At March 31, 2006, there were 26,998,222 Common Units and 667 Preferred Units outstanding and all were vested under the Equity Participation Plan.
 
Previously due installments on the EPP Loans have been forgiven by Laundry Corp., on or prior to their respective due dates. As a result, such loans are considered non-recourse and therefore treated as an award of stock requiring the recognition of compensation expense. Such expense is measured at fair value as of the time the stock award vests and is subsequently remeasured for changes in fair value until such time as the measurement date is established (upon forgiveness or repayment of the entire loan). Laundry Corp. has recorded compensation expense of approximately $12,000, $74,000 and $176,000 for the years ended March 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
3.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
CLC 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 consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CLC.

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, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2006. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2006, 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 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 (“Coinmach”), includes the accounts of all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Coinmach is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coinmach Laundry Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Laundry Corp.” or the “Parent”), which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coinmach Service Corp., a Delaware corporation (“CSC”). Unless otherwise specified herein, references to the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” shall mean Coinmach and its subsidiaries.
 
The Company is a provider of outsourced laundry equipment services for multi-family housing properties in North America. The Company’s 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, and collecting revenues generated from laundry machines. Through Appliance Warehouse of America Inc. (“AWA”), a Delaware corporation jointly owned by CSC and us 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 Delaware corporation and our own direct wholly-owned subsidiary, constructs, designs and retrofits laundromats and distributes laundromat equipment.
 
In November and December 2004, CSC completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) 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”), the former parent of the Company, exchanged its Laundry Corp. capital stock and all of its shares of common stock 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.”
 
CSC used a portion of the proceeds from the IPO to make an intercompany loan (the “Intercompany Loan”) to Coinmach in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $81.7 million and a capital contribution (the “Capital Contribution”) to Laundry Corp. aggregating approximately $170.8 million. Laundry Corp. then contributed approximately $165.6 million to Coinmach. Coinmach then made a dividend payment to Laundry Corp. of approximately $93.5 million.
 
Coinmach used the net proceeds from the IPO along with available cash to (i) redeem a portion of the 9% senior notes due 2010 of Coinmach (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 Coinmach’s senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) and (iii) make a $93.5 million dividend payment to Laundry Corp.
 
On February 8, 2006, CSC completed a public offering of 12,312,633 shares of CSC Class A common stock (including an overallotment exercised by the underwriter on February 17, 2006) at a price to the public of $9.00 per share (the “Class A Offering”). Net proceeds from the Class A Offering, including the exercise of the overallotment option, were approximately $102.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other estimated expenses. To the extent required by the indenture governing the CSC 11% senior secured notes due 2024, approximately $101.9 million of the net proceeds from the Class A Offering were loaned to Coinmach in the form of additional indebtedness under the Intercompany Loan (such additional indebtedness is referred to as the “Additional Intercompany Loan”). Coinmach distributed the net proceeds from the Class A Offering to Laundry Corp. who in turn distributed them to CSC.
 
Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the indenture governing the 11% Senior Secured Notes permits us to merge Laundry Corp. and Coinmach Corp. into CSC. We refer to such potential mergers collectively as the “Merger Event.” If we were to satisfy these and other applicable conditions with respect to


F-76

Coinmach Corporation and Subsidiaries
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

the Merger Event and consummate the Merger Event in the future, CSC would become an operating company as well as the direct borrower under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility (as defined above) and sole owner of the capital stock of Coinmach Corp.’s subsidiaries. We are not currently contemplating completion of the Merger Event.
 
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 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 AWA’s Preferred Stock dividend requirements exceed its net income and CSC is not obligated to fund AWA’s losses. Minority interest will be recorded in the future for the amount of AWA’s net income that exceeds the preferred stock dividend requirements.
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Recognition of Revenues
 
The Company has agreements with various property owners that provide for the Company’s 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 Laundry’s 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 $20.0 million for the year ended March 31, 2006, $24.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2005 and $20.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2004.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 
No single customer represents more than 2% of the Company’s total revenues. In addition, the Company’s ten largest customers taken together account for less than 10% of the Company’s 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):
 
                 
    March 31,  
    2006     2005  
 
Laundry equipment
  $ 7,884     $ 8,882  
Machine repair parts
    3,574       3,550  
                 
    $ 11,458     $ 12,432  
                 
 
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, 2006.
 
Assets Held for Sale
 
During the year ended March 31, 2004, the Company constructed five laundromats that were expected to be sold no later than the end of fiscal 2005. Although the laundromats were not sold, the Company continued to market them through September 30, 2005. The Company had determined that the plan of sale criteria in FASB Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” had been met. At September 30, 2005, the Company had accepted an offer to sell one of the laundromats for a purchase price of approximately $350,000, which closed on October 19, 2005 and which resulted in a write down of the related asset value by approximately $190,000. This write down is reflected in Other Items, net, on the Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. In addition, the Company reclassified the balance of the remaining laundromats from Assets Held for Sale to Fixed Assets because the Company has ceased all marketing efforts and has decided to operate these facilities as part of its retail operations. The amount transferred was approximately $1,936,000 as of December 31, 2005, which represents their historical cost. The Company believes the fair value of these laundromats exceeded the historical cost on the date of transfer.

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, 2006 and 2005 is as follows (in thousands):
 
                 
    March 31,  
    2006     2005  
 
Route
  $ 195,026     $ 195,026  
Rental
    8,253       6,837  
Distribution
    2,917       2,917  
                 
    $ 206,196     $ 204,780  
                 
 
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, the Company made several acquisitions aggregating approximately $3.4 million. Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company allocated approximately $1.4 million to goodwill.

Coinmach Corporation and Subsidiaries
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

 
The Company performed its annual assessment of goodwill as of January 1, 2006 and determined that no impairment exists. There can be no assurances that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in a charge to income. Goodwill rollforward for the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 consists of the following (in thousands):
 
                 
    March 31,  
    2006     2005  
 
Goodwill — beginning of year
  $ 204,780     $ 204,780  
Acquisitions
    1,416        
                 
Goodwill — end of year
  $ 206,196     $ 204,780  
                 
 
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,
     
 
2007
  $ 13.3  
2008
    12.9  
2009
    12.6  
2010
    12.3  
2011
    12.0  
 
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 stockholder’s equity excluding changes in ownership interests. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of gains on derivative instruments (interest rate swap agreements).
 
Other Assets
 
At March 31, 2006, other assets include deferred financing costs related to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility of approximately $3.0 million, net of accumulated amortization of approximately $2.0 million.
 
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 stockholder’s equity as a component of comprehensive income and upon settlement subsequently reclassified into earnings.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the expense recognition provisions of SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments (“SFAS 123R”), which requires us to recognize compensation expense for all share-based payments made to employees based on the fair value of the share-based payment at the date of grant. See Note 13 “2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan” for further discussion on stock-based compensation.

a.   Amended and Restated Credit Facility
 
On December 19, 2005, Coinmach, Laundry Corp. and certain subsidiary guarantors entered into an amendment and restatement of the Senior Secured Credit Facility (such amendment and restatement the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”), which is comprised of a $570.0 million term loan facility and a $75.0 million revolving credit facility (subject to outstanding letters of credit). Such credit facility amended and restated the credit facility originally entered into on January 25, 2002. The term loans are scheduled to be fully repaid by December 19, 2012, and the revolving credit facility is scheduled to expire on December 19, 2010. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility is secured by a first priority security interest in all of Coinmach’s real and personal property and is guaranteed by each of Coinmach’s domestic subsidiaries. Laundry Corp. has pledged the capital stock of Coinmach as collateral under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility for the benefit of the lenders thereunder.
 
On December 19, 2005, Coinmach borrowed $230.0 million under the term loan facility to refinance approximately $229.3 million aggregate principal amount of then outstanding term debt under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and pay related expenses. On February 1, 2006, Coinmach used $340.0 million of delayed draw term loans to retire all of the then outstanding $324.5 million aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes (plus approximately $14.6 million of related redemption premium) and to pay related fees and any expenses.
 
The revolving loans accrue interest, at the borrower’s option, at a rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of 2.00% or the Eurodollar rate plus 3.00%, subject in each case to performance based adjustments. The term loans accrue interest, at the borrower’s option, at a rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of 1.50% or the Eurodollar rate plus 2.50%, subject in each case to performance based adjustments. At March 31, 2006, the monthly variable Eurodollar rate was 4.8125%.
 
As a result of the Credit Facility Refinancing, Coinmach incurred approximately $3.1 in issuance costs related to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs to be amortized using the effective interest method through December 19, 2012. In addition to the issuance costs, Coinmach incurred certain expenses that were classified as transaction costs on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, which included (1) the write-off of the unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility term loans repaid aggregating approximately $1.7 million and (2) expenses aggregating approximately $1.0 million related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility that was amended.
 
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires Coinmach to make certain mandatory repayments, including from (a) 100% of net proceeds from asset sales by Coinmach and its subsidiaries, (b) 100% of the


F-82


Table of Contents

 
Coinmach Corporation and Subsidiaries
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

net proceeds from the issuance of debt (with an exception for proceeds from intercompany loans made by Coinmach to CSC), (c) 50% of annual excess cash flow of Coinmach and its subsidiaries, and (d) 100% of the net proceeds from insurance recovery and condemnation events of Coinmach and its subsidiaries, in each case subject to reinvestment rights, as applicable, and other exceptions generally consistent with the Senior Secured Credit Facility. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, there is no required amount that is payable relating to the annual excess cash flow of Coinmach.
 
The Amended and Restated Credit Facility contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements applicable to Coinmach which, if the Merger Event were completed, would apply directly to us as borrower under such credit facility, 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 Coinmach’s capital stock or its subsidiaries or the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of any of its or its subsidiaries’ capital stock); (iii) voluntary prepayments of previously existing indebtedness; (iv) Investments (as defined in the Amended and Restated 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 Coinmach’s equity securities; and (xiii) creation of subsidiaries. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility also requires that Coinmach satisfy certain financial ratios, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio.
 
If we were to consummate the Merger Event, we would become the direct borrower under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and sole owner of the capital stock of Coinmach’s subsidiaries. As a result of the Merger Event, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility would be secured by a first priority security interest in all of CSC’s real and personal property and would be guaranteed by each of our domestic subsidiaries.
 
Under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, the Merger Event is permitted at any time, provided that either (i) after giving effect to the merger event, we had a ratio of consolidated indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA of no more than 3.9 to 1.0, or (ii) our total consolidated indebtedness at the time of the merger event is at least $50.0 million less than our total consolidated indebtedness on the date the Amended and Restated Credit agreement was entered into, after giving effect to the refinancing of approximately $229.3 million of term debt under the Senior Secured Credit Facility (which for such purpose reductions in outstanding revolver loans are disregarded unless accompanied by corresponding permanent commitment reductions).
 
At March 31, 2006, the $569.4 million of term loan borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility had an interest rate of approximately 7.31% and the amount available under the revolving credit portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility was approximately $68.2 million. Letters of credit under the revolver portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility outstanding at March 31, 2006 were approximately $6.8 million.
 
At March 31, 2006, Coinmach was in compliance with the covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and was not aware of any events of default pursuant to the terms of such indebtedness.

b.   9% Senior Notes
 
On January 25, 2002, Coinmach issued $450 million aggregate principal amount of the 9% Senior Notes. On December 24, 2004, Coinmach used a portion of the proceeds from the IPO 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).
 
On December 30, 2005, Coinmach delivered notice to the holders of the 9% Senior Notes that, pursuant to the indenture governing such notes, it would retire all of the outstanding 9% Senior Notes on February 1, 2006 at a redemption price equal to 104.5% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. On February 1, 2006, Coinmach used the delayed draw term loans available under the term loan portion of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to retire all of the $324.5 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Notes, plus pay approximately $14.6 million of related redemption premium. Coinmach used available cash to pay the approximately $14.6 million regularly scheduled semi-annual aggregate interest payment due on such date. As a result, effective February 1, 2006, no 9% Senior Notes were outstanding.
 
The retirement of the 9% Senior Notes resulted in a charge to operations in the fourth fiscal quarter of approximately $19.2 million, consisting of (a) the redemption premium of approximately $14.6 million, (b) the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $4.5 million and (c) related fees and expenses of approximately $0.1 million.
 
The aggregate maturities of debt during the next five years and thereafter as of March 31, 2006 are as follows (in thousands):
 
         
    Principal

c.   Interest Rate Swaps
 
On November 17, 2005, Coinmach entered into two separate interest rate swap agreements, effective February 1, 2006, totaling $230.0 million in aggregate notional amount that effectively convert a portion of its

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

floating-rate term loans pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility to a fixed rate basis, thereby reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The two swap agreements consist of: (i) a $115.0 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 4.90% and expiring on November 1, 2010, and (ii) a $115.0 million notional amount interest rate swap transaction with a financial institution effectively fixing the three-month LIBOR interest rate (as determined therein) at 4.89% and expiring on November 1, 2010. 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 $1.1 million, net of tax, in the stockholder’s equity section for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, relating to the interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges.
 
4.   Intercompany Loan
 
In connection with the IDS Transactions, CSC made the Intercompany Loan to Coinmach in an initial principal amount of approximately $81.7 million which is eliminated in consolidation. The Intercompany Loan is represented by the Intercompany Note. As a result of the Additional Intercompany Loan on February 8, 2006 and February 17, 2006, the principal amount of indebtedness represented by the Intercompany Note increased to $183.6 million. 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 Amended and Restated Credit Facility) and ranks senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Coinmach. Certain of Coinmach’s domestic restricted subsidiaries guarantee the Intercompany Loan on a senior unsecured basis. As a result of the retirement on February 1, 2006 of all the outstanding 9% Senior Notes, the Intercompany Loan contains covenants that are substantially the same as those provided in the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility. 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 Coinmach 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 CSC Class A common stock, a portion of the net proceeds of such offering, subject to certain limitations, will be loaned to Coinmach and increase the principal amount of the Intercompany Loan and the guaranty of the Intercompany Loan.
 
While we presently do not intend to effect the Merger Event, if we were to consummate the Merger Event, the Intercompany Loan would no longer be outstanding.
 
At March 31, 2006, Coinmach was in compliance with the covenants under the Intercompany Loan and was not aware of any events of default pursuant to the terms of such indebtedness.
 
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.
 
Contributions to such plan amounted to approximately $500,000 for the year ended March 31, 2006, $502,000 for the year ended March 31, 2005 and $499,000 for the year ended March 31, 2004. The Company does not provide any other post-retirement benefits.

In addition, the net operating losses are subject to annual limitations imposed under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code regarding changes in ownership. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $0.2 million from March 31, 2005 to March 31, 2006.

7.   Guarantor Subsidiaries
 
The Company’s domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”) have guaranteed the indebtedness under the Amended and Restated 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 Company’s total revenue, total assets, stockholder’s 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, 2006 and 2005, the consolidating statements of operations for the years ended March 31, 2006, March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, and the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2006, March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, 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, 2006 were approximately $6.8 million.
 
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.
 
9.   Related Party Transactions
 
In February 1997, the Company extended a loan to an executive officer in the principal amount of $500,000 currently payable in ten equal annual installments ending in July 2006 (each payment date, a “Payment Date”), with interest accruing at a rate of 7.5% per annum. The loan provides that payment of principal and interest will be forgiven on each payment date based on certain conditions. The amounts forgiven are charged to general and administrative expenses. The balance of such loan of approximately $50,000 and $100,000 is included in other assets as of March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, respectively.
 
On May 5, 1999, the Company extended a loan to an executive officer of the Company in a principal amount of $250,000 to be repaid in a single payment on the third anniversary of such loan with interest accruing at a rate of 8% per annum. On March 15, 2002, the Company and the executive officer entered into a replacement promissory note in exchange for the original note evidencing the loan. The replacement note is in an original principal amount of $282,752, the outstanding loan balance under the replacement note is payable in equal annual installments of $56,550 commencing on March 15, 2003 and the obligations under the replacement note are secured, pursuant to an amendment to the replacement note dated March 6, 2003, by a pledge of certain preferred and common units of Holdings held by such executive officer. Through March 31, 2006, the Company forgave an aggregate amount of principal and interest of approximately $226,150 under such loan. The outstanding balance of such loan is included in other assets as of March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005.
 
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, the Company paid a director, a member of each of Coinmach’s board of directors, the CSC board of directors, the Holdings board of

managers and the Laundry Corp. board of directors, $193,000 and $180,000, respectively, for general financial advisory and investment banking services which are recorded in general and administrative expenses. CSC paid a one-time fee of $500,000 to the director in connection with the IDS Transactions and a one-time fee of $125,000 to the director in connection with the Credit Facility Refinancing. In addition, in February 2006, CSC awarded 11,111 restricted shares of CSC Class A common stock to a director of CSC as noted in Footnote 13, “2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan.”
 
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 Amended and Restated Credit Facility, and other long-term debt approximate their fair value at March 31, 2006.
 
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 Company’s 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, and collecting revenues generated from laundry machines. 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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, we believe that presenting this non-GAAP financial measure provides consistency in financial reporting. Management’s 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 Company’s net loss to EBITDA for each period presented (in millions):

which equals 6,583,796 shares. As of March 31, 2006, the board of directors of CSC had authorized up to 2,836,729 shares of CSC Class A common stock for issuance under the 2004 LTIP.
 
On January 4, 2006, the compensation committee of the CSC board of directors awarded restricted shares of CSC Class A common stock to certain executive officers and resolved to recommend to the board of directors the award of restricted shares of CSC Class A common stock to certain board members. On January 26, 2006, the board of directors approved such recommendation. Such awards were granted in aggregate dollar amounts, with the actual number of shares issued determined by dividing the price to the public of the shares of CSC Class A common stock issued in the Class A Offering by such dollar amounts, which are described below.
 
The restricted stock awards were as follows: (i) with respect to executive officers, $460,000 (or 51,111 shares in the aggregate) (ii) with respect to our independent directors, $45,000 (or 5,001 shares in the aggregate) and (iii) with respect to a director, $100,000 (or 11,111 shares). In addition, $200,000 worth of restricted shares of CSC Class A common stock (or 22,222 shares) were designated for an employee pool, awarded to employees (such award together with the restricted stock awards approved by the board of directors of CSC, the “Restricted Stock Awards”) other than executive officers at the discretion of the Company’s chief executive officer.
 
The Restricted Stock Awards to the independent directors were fully vested on the date of grant, and those to the director, the executive officers and the employees vested 20% on the date of grant and the balance at 20% per year over a consecutive four-year period thereafter. In addition, the Restricted Stock Awards to the executive officers and the director vest upon a change of control of CSC or upon the death or disability of the award recipient and contain all of the rights and are subject to all of the restrictions of CSC Class A common stock prior to becoming fully vested, including voting and dividend rights.
 
On February 15, 2006 CSC issued 88,889 restricted shares of CSC Class A common stock. The fair value of the restricted stock issued of $9.01 per share will be recorded as compensation expense over the vesting periods. Coinmach has recorded compensation expense of approximately $0.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2006. The Company has estimated the forfeiture rate to be zero.
 
A summary of the status of the Company’s restricted shares as of March 31, 2006 and changes during the year ended March 31, 2006 is presented below.

     Section 2.7 Voting; Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled, for each share of capital stock held by it which has voting power upon the matter in question, to the number of votes with respect to such capital stock as is set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation.

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these by-laws, any question brought before any meeting of stockholders shall be decided by a majority of votes which could be cast by the holders of all shares of capital stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, or the Presiding Officer, in his or her discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting be cast by written ballot.
     Section 2.8 Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days prior to any other action.

     If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day before the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day before the day on which the meeting is held. The record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting as described in Section 2.10 hereof, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed.

The list shall be made available for inspection by stockholders prior to the meeting as required by law. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder of the Corporation who is present.
     Section 2.10 Action By Consent of Stockholders. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article II hereof, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (including, without limitation, the election of directors) or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such actions at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stockholders may act by written consent in lieu of holding an annual meeting for the election of directors, provided that if a consent by stockholders to elect directors is less than unanimous, such action by written consent may be in lieu of holding an annual meeting only if all of the directorships to which directors could be elected at an annual meeting held at the effective time of such action are vacant and are filled by such action. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.
     Section 2.11 Inspectors. The Board of Directors, in advance of any stockholder’s meeting, shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment and make a written report thereof (including a report of any challenge, question or matter determined by them and the execution of a certificate regarding any fact found by them).

Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors, if so appointed, shall perform such duties as are required by the DGCL, including the counting of all votes and ballots.

Any inspector may, but need not, be an officer, employee or agent of the Corporation.

Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the Presiding Officer shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such Presiding Officer, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the Presiding Officer, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting, (ii) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting, (iii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, (iv) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the Presiding Officer shall determine, (v) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, and (vi) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants.

     12. (A) to the best knowledge of the undersigned, the acquisition of the Offered Securities by it would not require the Company to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act; (B) at the time of acquiring the Offered Securities, the undersigned agrees to provide promptly, at the request of the Company, written certifications, representations and warranties, financial statements and incorporation and operating documents that would, in the sole discretion of the Company, provide reasonable assurances to the Company that the beneficial ownership of the Offered Securities by the undersigned would not require the Company to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, and (C) the undersigned understands and acknowledges that the Company will, and it authorizes the Company to, rely on the representations, warranties, agreements and statements contained herein when determining not to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act;

EX-10.44 4 y21726exv10w44.htm EX-10.44: RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT EX-10.44
 

Exhibit 10.44
Tier One Award Agreement
COINMACH SERVICE CORP. 2004 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
     THIS AGREEMENT, entered into as of the Grant Date (as defined in paragraph 1), by and between the Participant and Coinmach Service Corp. (the “Company”);
WITNESSETH THAT:
     WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Coinmach Service Corp. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated into and forms a part of this Agreement, and the Participant has been selected by the committee administering the Plan (the “Committee”) to receive a Restricted Stock Award under the Plan;
     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED, by and between the Company and the Participant, as follows:
     1. Terms of Award. The following terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in this paragraph 1:
(a)   The “Participant” is Stephen R. Kerrigan.
 
(b)   The “Grant Date” is February 15, 2006.
 
(c)   The number of “Covered Shares” awarded under this Agreement is 19,444 shares. “Covered Shares” are shares of Stock granted under this Agreement and are subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.
Other terms used in this Agreement are defined pursuant to paragraph 13 or elsewhere in this Agreement.
     2. Award. The Participant is hereby granted the number of Covered Shares set forth in paragraph 1.
     3. Section 83(b) Election. The parties agree that the Fair Market Value of each Covered Share as of the Grant Date is $9.01. The Participant, in his sole discretion, may make a Section 83(b) Election with the IRS in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The Participant understands that under applicable law such election must be filed with the IRS no later than 30 days after any grant of the Covered Shares is to be effective. If the Participant files an effective 83(b) Election, the excess of the fair market value of the Covered Shares (which the IRS may assert is different from the Fair Market Value determined by the parties) covered by such election over the amount paid by the Participant for the Covered Shares shall be treated as ordinary income received by the Participant, and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries shall withhold from Participant’s compensation all amounts required to be withheld under applicable law. If the Participant does not file an 83(b) Election, future appreciation on the Covered Shares will

 


 

generally be taxable as ordinary income when such Covered Shares vest pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing discussion is based on Federal tax laws and regulations presently in effect, which are subject to change, and the discussion does not purport to be a complete description of the Federal income tax aspects of the program or grants under it. The Participant may also be subject to state and local taxes in connection with the grant of Covered Shares under the program. The Company suggests that the Participant consult with his individual tax advisor to determine the applicability of the tax rules to the awards granted to him in his personal circumstances.
     4. Dividends and Voting Rights. The Participant shall be entitled to receive any dividends paid with respect to the Covered Shares that become payable during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that no dividends shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Participant for Covered Shares with respect to record dates occurring prior to the Grant Date, or with respect to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited those Covered Shares. The Participant shall be entitled to vote the Covered Shares during the Restricted Period to the same extent as would have been applicable to the Participant if the Participant was then vested in the shares; provided, however, that the Participant shall not be entitled to vote the shares with respect to record dates for such voting rights arising prior to the Grant Date, or with respect to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited those Covered Shares.
     5. Deposit of Covered Shares. Each certificate issued in respect of the Covered Shares granted under this Agreement shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall be deposited in a bank designated by the Committee. During the Restricted Period, all certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock will be imprinted with the following legend: “The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to the transfer restrictions, forfeiture restrictions and other provisions of the Restricted Stock Agreement dated February 15, 2006, between Coinmach Service Corp. and Stephen R. Kerrigan.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cause the Covered Shares to be held in book-entry form on behalf of the Participant without the issuance of certificates.
     6. Transfer and Forfeiture of Shares. If the Date of Termination (as defined below) does not occur during the Restricted Period with respect to any Installment of the Covered Shares, then, at the end of the Restricted Period for such shares, the Participant shall become vested in those Covered Shares, and shall own the shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement. With respect to all Covered Shares, the “Restricted Period” shall begin on the Grant Date. The “Restricted Period” with respect to each Installment shown on the schedule shall end on the Vesting Date applicable to such Installment:

 


 

     
    VESTING DATE
    APPLICABLE TO
INSTALLMENT   INSTALLMENT
3,888
  Grant Date
3,888
  One-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
3,888
  Two-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
3,888
  Three-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
3,892
  Four-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 6, the following provisions shall apply:
  (a)   Change in Control. If the Participant’s Date of Termination does not occur prior to a Change in Control, then as of the Change in Control, all Covered Shares that have not previously vested shall vest and the Participant shall become the owner of such shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement.
 
  (b)   Other Corporate Transactions. Upon the occurrence of a corporate transaction involving the Company of the type described in paragraph 5.2(f) of the Plan on or before the Date of Termination and prior to the end of the Restricted Period, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the vesting of all of the Covered Shares and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that are vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
 
  (c)   Death and Disability. The Participant shall become vested in the Covered Shares prior to the end of the Restricted Period upon his death or Disability and shall become the owner of such shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that have vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
 
  (d)   Other Employment Termination. In the event the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs for any reason other than the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant shall, as of a Date of Termination, forfeit the Covered Shares that as of such date have not become vested and the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that have vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
Covered Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered until the expiration of the Restricted Period or, if earlier, until the Participant is vested in

 


 

the shares. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph 6, the Participant shall forfeit the Covered Shares as of a Date of Termination that occurs during the Restricted Period.
     7. Withholding. The grant and vesting of shares of Stock under this Agreement are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes. At the election of the Participant, and subject to such rules and limitations as may be established by the Committee from time to time and subject to any applicable loan commitments of the Company or its affiliates, such withholding obligations may be satisfied through the surrender of shares of Stock (i) which the Participant already owns, or (ii) to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan; provided, however, that shares described in this clause (ii) may be used to satisfy not more than the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligation (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for Federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income).
     8. Heirs and Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and business. If any rights of the Participant or benefits distributable to the Participant under this Agreement have not been exercised or distributed, respectively, at the time of the Participant’s death, such rights shall be exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary, and such benefits shall be distributed to the Designated Beneficiary, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. The “Designated Beneficiary” shall be the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Participant in a writing filed with the Committee in such form and at such time as the Committee shall require. If a deceased Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the Designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, any rights that would have been exercisable by the Participant and any benefits distributable to the Participant shall be exercised by or distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Participant. If a deceased Participant designates a beneficiary and the Designated Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the Designated Beneficiary’s exercise of all rights under this Agreement or before the complete distribution of benefits to the Designated Beneficiary under this Agreement, then any rights that would have been exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary shall be exercised by the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary, and any benefits distributable to the Designated Beneficiary shall be distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary.
     9. Administration. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of this Agreement shall be vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to this Agreement as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of the Agreement by the Committee and any decision made by it with respect to the Agreement is final and binding.
     10. Plan Governs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which may be obtained by the Participant from the office of the Secretary of the Company.

 


 

     11. Fractional Shares. In lieu of issuing a fraction of a share pursuant to paragraph 5.2(f) of the Plan or otherwise, the Company will be entitled to pay to the Participant an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share.
     12. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, and may otherwise be amended by written agreement of the Participant and the Company without the consent of any other person.
     13. Applicable Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law provisions of any jurisdiction.
     14. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement shall be subject to the following:
  (a)   Cause. The term “Cause” means (i) if the applicable Participant is party to an effective employment agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, “Cause” shall have the same meaning as such term is defined therein; (ii) if the applicable Participant is not a party to an effective employment agreement but is a party to an effective equity award agreement pursuant to any stock incentive plan of the Company, “Cause” shall have the same meaning as such term is defined therein; and (iii) if the applicable Participant (A) commits an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement or theft in connection with his duties or in the course of his employment, (B) commits intentional, wrongful damage to property of the Company or its affiliates, (C) fails to perform the material duties of his position after receipt of a written warning from the Company, (D) is convicted of a felony, (E) violates Company policy, or (F) intentionally and wrongfully discloses confidential information of the Company or its affiliates that has been harmful to or has adversely affected the Company or its affiliates. For purposes of this letter, no act on the Participant’s part shall be considered “intentional” if it was due primarily to an error in judgment or negligence, but shall be considered intentional only if done by the Participant not in good faith and without reasonable belief that such action or omission was in the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that if the Participant’s employment is subject to an employment agreement that contains a definition of “Cause” or “Termination for Cause,” then, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this definition or the provisions of this Agreement, the definition of “Cause” or “Termination for Cause” in such employment agreement, rather than the foregoing definition in this Agreement, shall apply to the Participant.
 
  (b)   Change in Control. “Change in Control” has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.
 
  (c)   Date of Termination. The term “Date of Termination” means the first day occurring on or after the Grant Date on which the Participant is not

 


 

      employed by the Company or any Subsidiary, regardless of the reason for the termination of employment; provided that a termination of employment shall not be deemed to occur by reason of a transfer of the Participant between the Company and a Subsidiary or between two Subsidiaries; and further provided that the Participant’s employment shall not be considered terminated while the Participant is on a leave of absence from the Company or a Subsidiary approved by the Participant’s employer. If the Participant is employed by a Subsidiary and if, as a result of a sale or other transaction, the Participant’s employer ceases to be a Subsidiary (and the Participant’s employer is or becomes an entity that is separate from the Company), and the Participant is not, at the end of the 30-day period following the transaction, employed by the Company or an entity that is then a Subsidiary, then the occurrence of such transaction shall be treated as the Participant’s Date of Termination caused by the Participant being discharged by the employer.
 
  (d)   Disability. The Participant shall be considered to have a “Disability” during the period in which the Participant is unable, by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, to engage in any substantial gainful activity, which condition, in the opinion of a physician selected by the Committee, is expected to have a duration of not less than 120 days; provided, however, that if the Participant’s employment is subject to an employment agreement that contains a definition of “Disability” or “Disabled,” then, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this definition or the provisions of this Agreement, the definition of “Disability” or “Disabled” in such employment agreement, rather than the foregoing definition in this Agreement, shall apply to the Participant.
 
  (e)   IRS. The term “IRS” means the Internal Revenue Service.
 
  (f)   Plan Definitions. Except where the context clearly implies or indicates the contrary, a word, term, or phrase used in the Plan is similarly used in this Agreement.
 
  (g)   Repurchase Date. The term “Repurchase Date” means the date on which the Company repurchases from the Participant vested Covered Shares owned by the Participant.
 
  (h)   Repurchase Price. The term “Repurchase Price” means:

Exhibit 10.45
Tier One Award Agreement
COINMACH SERVICE CORP. 2004 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
     THIS AGREEMENT, entered into as of the Grant Date (as defined in paragraph 1), by and between the Participant and Coinmach Service Corp. (the “Company”);
WITNESSETH THAT:
     WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Coinmach Service Corp. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated into and forms a part of this Agreement, and the Participant has been selected by the committee administering the Plan (the “Committee”) to receive a Restricted Stock Award under the Plan;
     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED, by and between the Company and the Participant, as follows:
     1. Terms of Award. The following terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in this paragraph 1:
(a)   The “Participant” is Robert M. Doyle.
 
(b)   The “Grant Date” is February 15, 2006.
 
(c)   The number of “Covered Shares” awarded under this Agreement is 11,111 shares. “Covered Shares” are shares of Stock granted under this Agreement and are subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.
Other terms used in this Agreement are defined pursuant to paragraph 13 or elsewhere in this Agreement.
     2. Award. The Participant is hereby granted the number of Covered Shares set forth in paragraph 1.
     3. Section 83(b) Election. The parties agree that the Fair Market Value of each Covered Share as of the Grant Date is $9.01. The Participant, in his sole discretion, may make a Section 83(b) Election with the IRS in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The Participant understands that under applicable law such election must be filed with the IRS no later than 30 days after any grant of the Covered Shares is to be effective. If the Participant files an effective 83(b) Election, the excess of the fair market value of the Covered Shares (which the IRS may assert is different from the Fair Market Value determined by the parties) covered by such election over the amount paid by the Participant for the Covered Shares shall be treated as ordinary income received by the Participant, and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries shall withhold from Participant’s compensation all amounts required to be withheld under applicable law. If the Participant does not file an 83(b) Election, future appreciation on the Covered Shares will

 


 

generally be taxable as ordinary income when such Covered Shares vest pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing discussion is based on Federal tax laws and regulations presently in effect, which are subject to change, and the discussion does not purport to be a complete description of the Federal income tax aspects of the program or grants under it. The Participant may also be subject to state and local taxes in connection with the grant of Covered Shares under the program. The Company suggests that the Participant consult with his individual tax advisor to determine the applicability of the tax rules to the awards granted to him in his personal circumstances.
     4. Dividends and Voting Rights. The Participant shall be entitled to receive any dividends paid with respect to the Covered Shares that become payable during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that no dividends shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Participant for Covered Shares with respect to record dates occurring prior to the Grant Date, or with respect to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited those Covered Shares. The Participant shall be entitled to vote the Covered Shares during the Restricted Period to the same extent as would have been applicable to the Participant if the Participant was then vested in the shares; provided, however, that the Participant shall not be entitled to vote the shares with respect to record dates for such voting rights arising prior to the Grant Date, or with respect to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited those Covered Shares.
     5. Deposit of Covered Shares. Each certificate issued in respect of the Covered Shares granted under this Agreement shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall be deposited in a bank designated by the Committee. During the Restricted Period, all certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock will be imprinted with the following legend: “The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to the transfer restrictions, forfeiture restrictions and other provisions of the Restricted Stock Agreement dated February 15, 2006, between Coinmach Service Corp. and Robert M. Doyle.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cause the Covered Shares to be held in book-entry form on behalf of the Participant without the issuance of certificates.
     6. Transfer and Forfeiture of Shares. If the Date of Termination (as defined below) does not occur during the Restricted Period with respect to any Installment of the Covered Shares, then, at the end of the Restricted Period for such shares, the Participant shall become vested in those Covered Shares, and shall own the shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement. With respect to all Covered Shares, the “Restricted Period” shall begin on the Grant Date. The “Restricted Period” with respect to each Installment shown on the schedule shall end on the Vesting Date applicable to such Installment:

 


 

     
    VESTING DATE
    APPLICABLE TO
INSTALLMENT   INSTALLMENT
2,222   Grant Date
2,222   One-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
2,222   Two-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
2,222   Three-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
2,223   Four-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 6, the following provisions shall apply:
  (a)   Change in Control. If the Participant’s Date of Termination does not occur prior to a Change in Control, then as of the Change in Control, all Covered Shares that have not previously vested shall vest and the Participant shall become the owner of such shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement.
 
  (b)   Other Corporate Transactions. Upon the occurrence of a corporate transaction involving the Company of the type described in paragraph 5.2(f) of the Plan on or before the Date of Termination and prior to the end of the Restricted Period, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the vesting of all of the Covered Shares and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that are vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
 
  (c)   Death and Disability. The Participant shall become vested in the Covered Shares prior to the end of the Restricted Period upon his death or Disability and shall become the owner of such shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that have vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
 
  (d)   Other Employment Termination. In the event the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs for any reason other than the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant shall, as of a Date of Termination, forfeit the Covered Shares that as of such date have not become vested and the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that have vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
Covered Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered until the expiration of the Restricted Period or, if earlier, until the Participant is vested in

 


 

the shares. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph 6, the Participant shall forfeit the Covered Shares as of a Date of Termination that occurs during the Restricted Period.
     7. Withholding. The grant and vesting of shares of Stock under this Agreement are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes. At the election of the Participant, and subject to such rules and limitations as may be established by the Committee from time to time and subject to any applicable loan commitments of the Company or its affiliates, such withholding obligations may be satisfied through the surrender of shares of Stock (i) which the Participant already owns, or (ii) to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan; provided, however, that shares described in this clause (ii) may be used to satisfy not more than the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligation (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for Federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income).
     8. Heirs and Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and business. If any rights of the Participant or benefits distributable to the Participant under this Agreement have not been exercised or distributed, respectively, at the time of the Participant’s death, such rights shall be exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary, and such benefits shall be distributed to the Designated Beneficiary, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. The “Designated Beneficiary” shall be the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Participant in a writing filed with the Committee in such form and at such time as the Committee shall require. If a deceased Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the Designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, any rights that would have been exercisable by the Participant and any benefits distributable to the Participant shall be exercised by or distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Participant. If a deceased Participant designates a beneficiary and the Designated Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the Designated Beneficiary’s exercise of all rights under this Agreement or before the complete distribution of benefits to the Designated Beneficiary under this Agreement, then any rights that would have been exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary shall be exercised by the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary, and any benefits distributable to the Designated Beneficiary shall be distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary.
     9. Administration. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of this Agreement shall be vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to this Agreement as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of the Agreement by the Committee and any decision made by it with respect to the Agreement is final and binding.
     10. Plan Governs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which may be obtained by the Participant from the office of the Secretary of the Company.

 


 

     11. Fractional Shares. In lieu of issuing a fraction of a share pursuant to paragraph 5.2(f) of the Plan or otherwise, the Company will be entitled to pay to the Participant an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share.
     12. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, and may otherwise be amended by written agreement of the Participant and the Company without the consent of any other person.
     13. Applicable Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law provisions of any jurisdiction.
     14. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement shall be subject to the following:
  (a)   Cause. The term “Cause” means (i) if the applicable Participant is party to an effective employment agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, “Cause” shall have the same meaning as such term is defined therein; (ii) if the applicable Participant is not a party to an effective employment agreement but is a party to an effective equity award agreement pursuant to any stock incentive plan of the Company, “Cause” shall have the same meaning as such term is defined therein; and (iii) if the applicable Participant (A) commits an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement or theft in connection with his duties or in the course of his employment, (B) commits intentional, wrongful damage to property of the Company or its affiliates, (C) fails to perform the material duties of his position after receipt of a written warning from the Company, (D) is convicted of a felony, (E) violates Company policy, or (F) intentionally and wrongfully discloses confidential information of the Company or its affiliates that has been harmful to or has adversely affected the Company or its affiliates. For purposes of this letter, no act on the Participant’s part shall be considered “intentional” if it was due primarily to an error in judgment or negligence, but shall be considered intentional only if done by the Participant not in good faith and without reasonable belief that such action or omission was in the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that if the Participant’s employment is subject to an employment agreement that contains a definition of “Cause” or “Termination for Cause,” then, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this definition or the provisions of this Agreement, the definition of “Cause” or “Termination for Cause” in such employment agreement, rather than the foregoing definition in this Agreement, shall apply to the Participant.
 
  (b)   Change in Control. “Change in Control” has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.
 
  (c)   Date of Termination. The term “Date of Termination” means the first day occurring on or after the Grant Date on which the Participant is not

 


 

      employed by the Company or any Subsidiary, regardless of the reason for the termination of employment; provided that a termination of employment shall not be deemed to occur by reason of a transfer of the Participant between the Company and a Subsidiary or between two Subsidiaries; and further provided that the Participant’s employment shall not be considered terminated while the Participant is on a leave of absence from the Company or a Subsidiary approved by the Participant’s employer. If the Participant is employed by a Subsidiary and if, as a result of a sale or other transaction, the Participant’s employer ceases to be a Subsidiary (and the Participant’s employer is or becomes an entity that is separate from the Company), and the Participant is not, at the end of the 30-day period following the transaction, employed by the Company or an entity that is then a Subsidiary, then the occurrence of such transaction shall be treated as the Participant’s Date of Termination caused by the Participant being discharged by the employer.
 
  (d)   Disability. The Participant shall be considered to have a “Disability” during the period in which the Participant is unable, by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, to engage in any substantial gainful activity, which condition, in the opinion of a physician selected by the Committee, is expected to have a duration of not less than 120 days; provided, however, that if the Participant’s employment is subject to an employment agreement that contains a definition of “Disability” or “Disabled,” then, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this definition or the provisions of this Agreement, the definition of “Disability” or “Disabled” in such employment agreement, rather than the foregoing definition in this Agreement, shall apply to the Participant.
 
  (e)   IRS. The term “IRS” means the Internal Revenue Service.
 
  (f)   Plan Definitions. Except where the context clearly implies or indicates the contrary, a word, term, or phrase used in the Plan is similarly used in this Agreement.
 
  (g)   Repurchase Date. The term “Repurchase Date” means the date on which the Company repurchases from the Participant vested Covered Shares owned by the Participant.
 
  (h)   Repurchase Price. The term “Repurchase Price” means:
  (i)   For Cause Termination. If the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs by reason of a termination by his employer for Cause, the Repurchase Price shall mean the lower of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Covered Shares on the Grant Date or (B) the Fair Market Value of the Covered Shares on the Repurchase Date.

 


 

  (ii)   Termination Without Cause. If the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs by reason other than termination by the Participant’s employer for Cause, the Repurchase Price shall mean the Fair Market Value of the Covered Shares on the Repurchase Date.
  (i)   Section 83(b) Election. The term “Section 83(b) Election” means an election made with the IRS under Section 83(b) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Participant has executed this Agreement, and the Company has caused these presents to be executed in its name and on its behalf, all as of the Grant Date.

Exhibit 10.46
Tier One Award Agreement
COINMACH SERVICE CORP. 2004 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
     THIS AGREEMENT, entered into as of the Grant Date (as defined in paragraph 1), by and between the Participant and Coinmach Service Corp. (the “Company”);
WITNESSETH THAT:
     WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Coinmach Service Corp. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated into and forms a part of this Agreement, and the Participant has been selected by the committee administering the Plan (the “Committee”) to receive a Restricted Stock Award under the Plan;
     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED, by and between the Company and the Participant, as follows:
     1. Terms of Award. The following terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in this paragraph 1:
(a)   The “Participant” is Mitchell Blatt.
 
(b)   The “Grant Date” is February 15, 2006.
 
(c)   The number of “Covered Shares” awarded under this Agreement is 8,333 shares. “Covered Shares” are shares of Stock granted under this Agreement and are subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.
Other terms used in this Agreement are defined pursuant to paragraph 13 or elsewhere in this Agreement.
     2. Award. The Participant is hereby granted the number of Covered Shares set forth in paragraph 1.
     3. Section 83(b) Election. The parties agree that the Fair Market Value of each Covered Share as of the Grant Date is $9.01. The Participant, in his sole discretion, may make a Section 83(b) Election with the IRS in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The Participant understands that under applicable law such election must be filed with the IRS no later than 30 days after any grant of the Covered Shares is to be effective. If the Participant files an effective 83(b) Election, the excess of the fair market value of the Covered Shares (which the IRS may assert is different from the Fair Market Value determined by the parties) covered by such election over the amount paid by the Participant for the Covered Shares shall be treated as ordinary income received by the Participant, and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries shall withhold from Participant’s compensation all amounts required to be withheld under applicable law. If the Participant does not file an 83(b) Election, future appreciation on the Covered Shares will

 


 

generally be taxable as ordinary income when such Covered Shares vest pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing discussion is based on Federal tax laws and regulations presently in effect, which are subject to change, and the discussion does not purport to be a complete description of the Federal income tax aspects of the program or grants under it. The Participant may also be subject to state and local taxes in connection with the grant of Covered Shares under the program. The Company suggests that the Participant consult with his individual tax advisor to determine the applicability of the tax rules to the awards granted to him in his personal circumstances.
     4. Dividends and Voting Rights. The Participant shall be entitled to receive any dividends paid with respect to the Covered Shares that become payable during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that no dividends shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Participant for Covered Shares with respect to record dates occurring prior to the Grant Date, or with respect to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited those Covered Shares. The Participant shall be entitled to vote the Covered Shares during the Restricted Period to the same extent as would have been applicable to the Participant if the Participant was then vested in the shares; provided, however, that the Participant shall not be entitled to vote the shares with respect to record dates for such voting rights arising prior to the Grant Date, or with respect to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited those Covered Shares.
     5. Deposit of Covered Shares. Each certificate issued in respect of the Covered Shares granted under this Agreement shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall be deposited in a bank designated by the Committee. During the Restricted Period, all certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock will be imprinted with the following legend: “The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to the transfer restrictions, forfeiture restrictions and other provisions of the Restricted Stock Agreement dated February 15, 2006, between Coinmach Service Corp. and Mitchell Blatt.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cause the Covered Shares to be held in book-entry form on behalf of the Participant without the issuance of certificates.
     6. Transfer and Forfeiture of Shares. If the Date of Termination (as defined below) does not occur during the Restricted Period with respect to any Installment of the Covered Shares, then, at the end of the Restricted Period for such shares, the Participant shall become vested in those Covered Shares, and shall own the shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement. With respect to all Covered Shares, the “Restricted Period” shall begin on the Grant Date. The “Restricted Period” with respect to each Installment shown on the schedule shall end on the Vesting Date applicable to such Installment:

 


 

     
    VESTING DATE
    APPLICABLE TO
INSTALLMENT   INSTALLMENT
1,666   Grant Date
1,666   One-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
1,666   Two-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
1,666   Three-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
1,669   Four-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 6, the following provisions shall apply:
  (a)   Change in Control. If the Participant’s Date of Termination does not occur prior to a Change in Control, then as of the Change in Control, all Covered Shares that have not previously vested shall vest and the Participant shall become the owner of such shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement.
 
  (b)   Other Corporate Transactions. Upon the occurrence of a corporate transaction involving the Company of the type described in paragraph 5.2(f) of the Plan on or before the Date of Termination and prior to the end of the Restricted Period, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the vesting of all of the Covered Shares and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that are vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
 
  (c)   Death and Disability. The Participant shall become vested in the Covered Shares prior to the end of the Restricted Period upon his death or Disability and shall become the owner of such shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that have vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
 
  (d)   Other Employment Termination. In the event the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs for any reason other than the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant shall, as of a Date of Termination, forfeit the Covered Shares that as of such date have not become vested and the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that have vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
Covered Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered until the expiration of the Restricted Period or, if earlier, until the Participant is vested in

 


 

the shares. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph 6, the Participant shall forfeit the Covered Shares as of a Date of Termination that occurs during the Restricted Period.
     7. Withholding. The grant and vesting of shares of Stock under this Agreement are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes. At the election of the Participant, and subject to such rules and limitations as may be established by the Committee from time to time and subject to any applicable loan commitments of the Company or its affiliates, such withholding obligations may be satisfied through the surrender of shares of Stock (i) which the Participant already owns, or (ii) to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan; provided, however, that shares described in this clause (ii) may be used to satisfy not more than the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligation (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for Federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income).
     8. Heirs and Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and business. If any rights of the Participant or benefits distributable to the Participant under this Agreement have not been exercised or distributed, respectively, at the time of the Participant’s death, such rights shall be exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary, and such benefits shall be distributed to the Designated Beneficiary, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. The “Designated Beneficiary” shall be the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Participant in a writing filed with the Committee in such form and at such time as the Committee shall require. If a deceased Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the Designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, any rights that would have been exercisable by the Participant and any benefits distributable to the Participant shall be exercised by or distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Participant. If a deceased Participant designates a beneficiary and the Designated Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the Designated Beneficiary’s exercise of all rights under this Agreement or before the complete distribution of benefits to the Designated Beneficiary under this Agreement, then any rights that would have been exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary shall be exercised by the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary, and any benefits distributable to the Designated Beneficiary shall be distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary.
     9. Administration. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of this Agreement shall be vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to this Agreement as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of the Agreement by the Committee and any decision made by it with respect to the Agreement is final and binding.
     10. Plan Governs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which may be obtained by the Participant from the office of the Secretary of the Company.

 


 

     11. Fractional Shares. In lieu of issuing a fraction of a share pursuant to paragraph 5.2(f) of the Plan or otherwise, the Company will be entitled to pay to the Participant an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share.
     12. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, and may otherwise be amended by written agreement of the Participant and the Company without the consent of any other person.
     13. Applicable Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law provisions of any jurisdiction.
     14. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement shall be subject to the following:
  (a)   Cause. The term “Cause” means (i) if the applicable Participant is party to an effective employment agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, “Cause” shall have the same meaning as such term is defined therein; (ii) if the applicable Participant is not a party to an effective employment agreement but is a party to an effective equity award agreement pursuant to any stock incentive plan of the Company, “Cause” shall have the same meaning as such term is defined therein; and (iii) if the applicable Participant (A) commits an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement or theft in connection with his duties or in the course of his employment, (B) commits intentional, wrongful damage to property of the Company or its affiliates, (C) fails to perform the material duties of his position after receipt of a written warning from the Company, (D) is convicted of a felony, (E) violates Company policy, or (F) intentionally and wrongfully discloses confidential information of the Company or its affiliates that has been harmful to or has adversely affected the Company or its affiliates. For purposes of this letter, no act on the Participant’s part shall be considered “intentional” if it was due primarily to an error in judgment or negligence, but shall be considered intentional only if done by the Participant not in good faith and without reasonable belief that such action or omission was in the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that if the Participant’s employment is subject to an employment agreement that contains a definition of “Cause” or “Termination for Cause,” then, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this definition or the provisions of this Agreement, the definition of “Cause” or “Termination for Cause” in such employment agreement, rather than the foregoing definition in this Agreement, shall apply to the Participant.
 
  (b)   Change in Control. “Change in Control” has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.
 
  (c)   Date of Termination. The term “Date of Termination” means the first day occurring on or after the Grant Date on which the Participant is not

 


 

      employed by the Company or any Subsidiary, regardless of the reason for the termination of employment; provided that a termination of employment shall not be deemed to occur by reason of a transfer of the Participant between the Company and a Subsidiary or between two Subsidiaries; and further provided that the Participant’s employment shall not be considered terminated while the Participant is on a leave of absence from the Company or a Subsidiary approved by the Participant’s employer. If the Participant is employed by a Subsidiary and if, as a result of a sale or other transaction, the Participant’s employer ceases to be a Subsidiary (and the Participant’s employer is or becomes an entity that is separate from the Company), and the Participant is not, at the end of the 30-day period following the transaction, employed by the Company or an entity that is then a Subsidiary, then the occurrence of such transaction shall be treated as the Participant’s Date of Termination caused by the Participant being discharged by the employer.
 
  (d)   Disability. The Participant shall be considered to have a “Disability” during the period in which the Participant is unable, by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, to engage in any substantial gainful activity, which condition, in the opinion of a physician selected by the Committee, is expected to have a duration of not less than 120 days; provided, however, that if the Participant’s employment is subject to an employment agreement that contains a definition of “Disability” or “Disabled,” then, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this definition or the provisions of this Agreement, the definition of “Disability” or “Disabled” in such employment agreement, rather than the foregoing definition in this Agreement, shall apply to the Participant.
 
  (e)   IRS. The term “IRS” means the Internal Revenue Service.
 
  (f)   Plan Definitions. Except where the context clearly implies or indicates the contrary, a word, term, or phrase used in the Plan is similarly used in this Agreement.
 
  (g)   Repurchase Date. The term “Repurchase Date” means the date on which the Company repurchases from the Participant vested Covered Shares owned by the Participant.
 
  (h)   Repurchase Price. The term “Repurchase Price” means:
  (i)   For Cause Termination. If the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs by reason of a termination by his employer for Cause, the Repurchase Price shall mean the lower of (A) the Fair Market Value of the Covered Shares on the Grant Date or (B) the Fair Market Value of the Covered Shares on the Repurchase Date.

 


 

  (ii)   Termination Without Cause. If the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs by reason other than termination by the Participant’s employer for Cause, the Repurchase Price shall mean the Fair Market Value of the Covered Shares on the Repurchase Date.
  (i)   Section 83(b) Election. The term “Section 83(b) Election” means an election made with the IRS under Section 83(b) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Participant has executed this Agreement, and the Company has caused these presents to be executed in its name and on its behalf, all as of the Grant Date.

Exhibit 10.47
Tier One Award Agreement
COINMACH SERVICE CORP. 2004 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
     THIS AGREEMENT, entered into as of the Grant Date (as defined in paragraph 1), by and between the Participant and Coinmach Service Corp. (the “Company”);
WITNESSETH THAT:
     WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Coinmach Service Corp. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated into and forms a part of this Agreement, and the Participant has been selected by the committee administering the Plan (the “Committee”) to receive a Restricted Stock Award under the Plan;
     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED, by and between the Company and the Participant, as follows:
     1. Terms of Award. The following terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in this paragraph 1:
(a)   The “Participant” is Michael Stanky.
(b)   The “Grant Date” is February 15, 2006.
(c)   The number of “Covered Shares” awarded under this Agreement is 6,667 shares. “Covered Shares” are shares of Stock granted under this Agreement and are subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.
Other terms used in this Agreement are defined pursuant to paragraph 13 or elsewhere in this Agreement.
     2. Award. The Participant is hereby granted the number of Covered Shares set forth in paragraph 1.
     3. Section 83(b) Election. The parties agree that the Fair Market Value of each Covered Share as of the Grant Date is $9.01. The Participant, in his sole discretion, may make a Section 83(b) Election with the IRS in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The Participant understands that under applicable law such election must be filed with the IRS no later than 30 days after any grant of the Covered Shares is to be effective. If the Participant files an effective 83(b) Election, the excess of the fair market value of the Covered Shares (which the IRS may assert is different from the Fair Market Value determined by the parties) covered by such election over the amount paid by the Participant for the Covered Shares shall be treated as ordinary income received by the Participant, and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries shall withhold from Participant’s compensation all amounts required to be withheld under applicable law. If the Participant does not file an 83(b) Election, future appreciation on the Covered Shares will

 


 

generally be taxable as ordinary income when such Covered Shares vest pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing discussion is based on Federal tax laws and regulations presently in effect, which are subject to change, and the discussion does not purport to be a complete description of the Federal income tax aspects of the program or grants under it. The Participant may also be subject to state and local taxes in connection with the grant of Covered Shares under the program. The Company suggests that the Participant consult with his individual tax advisor to determine the applicability of the tax rules to the awards granted to him in his personal circumstances.
     4. Dividends and Voting Rights. The Participant shall be entitled to receive any dividends paid with respect to the Covered Shares that become payable during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that no dividends shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Participant for Covered Shares with respect to record dates occurring prior to the Grant Date, or with respect to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited those Covered Shares. The Participant shall be entitled to vote the Covered Shares during the Restricted Period to the same extent as would have been applicable to the Participant if the Participant was then vested in the shares; provided, however, that the Participant shall not be entitled to vote the shares with respect to record dates for such voting rights arising prior to the Grant Date, or with respect to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited those Covered Shares.
     5. Deposit of Covered Shares. Each certificate issued in respect of the Covered Shares granted under this Agreement shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall be deposited in a bank designated by the Committee. During the Restricted Period, all certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock will be imprinted with the following legend: “The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to the transfer restrictions, forfeiture restrictions and other provisions of the Restricted Stock Agreement dated February 15, 2006, between Coinmach Service Corp. and Michael Stanky.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cause the Covered Shares to be held in book-entry form on behalf of the Participant without the issuance of certificates.
     6. Transfer and Forfeiture of Shares. If the Date of Termination (as defined below) does not occur during the Restricted Period with respect to any Installment of the Covered Shares, then, at the end of the Restricted Period for such shares, the Participant shall become vested in those Covered Shares, and shall own the shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement. With respect to all Covered Shares, the “Restricted Period” shall begin on the Grant Date. The “Restricted Period” with respect to each Installment shown on the schedule shall end on the Vesting Date applicable to such Installment:

 


 

     
    VESTING DATE
    APPLICABLE TO
INSTALLMENT   INSTALLMENT
1,333   Grant Date
1,333   One-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
1,333   Two-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
1,333   Three-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
1,335   Four-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 6, the following provisions shall apply:
  (a)   Change in Control. If the Participant’s Date of Termination does not occur prior to a Change in Control, then as of the Change in Control, all Covered Shares that have not previously vested shall vest and the Participant shall become the owner of such shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement.
 
  (b)   Other Corporate Transactions. Upon the occurrence of a corporate transaction involving the Company of the type described in paragraph 5.2(f) of the Plan on or before the Date of Termination and prior to the end of the Restricted Period, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the vesting of all of the Covered Shares and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that are vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
 
  (c)   Death and Disability. The Participant shall become vested in the Covered Shares prior to the end of the Restricted Period upon his death or Disability and shall become the owner of such shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that have vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
 
  (d)   Other Employment Termination. In the event the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs for any reason other than the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant shall, as of a Date of Termination, forfeit the Covered Shares that as of such date have not become vested and the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that have vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
Covered Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered until the expiration of the Restricted Period or, if earlier, until the Participant is vested in

 


 

the shares. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph 6, the Participant shall forfeit the Covered Shares as of a Date of Termination that occurs during the Restricted Period.
     7. Withholding. The grant and vesting of shares of Stock under this Agreement are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes. At the election of the Participant, and subject to such rules and limitations as may be established by the Committee from time to time and subject to any applicable loan commitments of the Company or its affiliates, such withholding obligations may be satisfied through the surrender of shares of Stock (i) which the Participant already owns, or (ii) to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan; provided, however, that shares described in this clause (ii) may be used to satisfy not more than the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligation (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for Federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income).
     8. Heirs and Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and business. If any rights of the Participant or benefits distributable to the Participant under this Agreement have not been exercised or distributed, respectively, at the time of the Participant’s death, such rights shall be exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary, and such benefits shall be distributed to the Designated Beneficiary, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. The “Designated Beneficiary” shall be the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Participant in a writing filed with the Committee in such form and at such time as the Committee shall require. If a deceased Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the Designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, any rights that would have been exercisable by the Participant and any benefits distributable to the Participant shall be exercised by or distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Participant. If a deceased Participant designates a beneficiary and the Designated Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the Designated Beneficiary’s exercise of all rights under this Agreement or before the complete distribution of benefits to the Designated Beneficiary under this Agreement, then any rights that would have been exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary shall be exercised by the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary, and any benefits distributable to the Designated Beneficiary shall be distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary.
     9. Administration. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of this Agreement shall be vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to this Agreement as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of the Agreement by the Committee and any decision made by it with respect to the Agreement is final and binding.
     10. Plan Governs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which may be obtained by the Participant from the office of the Secretary of the Company.

 


 

     11. Fractional Shares. In lieu of issuing a fraction of a share pursuant to paragraph 5.2(f) of the Plan or otherwise, the Company will be entitled to pay to the Participant an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share.
     12. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, and may otherwise be amended by written agreement of the Participant and the Company without the consent of any other person.
     13. Applicable Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law provisions of any jurisdiction.

If the Participant is employed by a Subsidiary and if, as a result of a sale or other transaction, the Participant’s employer ceases to be a Subsidiary (and the Participant’s employer is or becomes an entity that is separate from the Company), and the Participant is not, at the end of the 30-day period following the transaction, employed by the Company or an entity that is then a Subsidiary, then the occurrence of such transaction shall be treated as the Participant’s Date of Termination caused by the Participant being discharged by the employer.

     THIS AGREEMENT, entered into as of the Grant Date (as defined in paragraph 1), by and between the Participant and Coinmach Service Corp. (the “Company”);
WITNESSETH THAT:
     WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Coinmach Service Corp. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated into and forms a part of this Agreement, and the Participant has been selected by the committee administering the Plan (the “Committee”) to receive a Restricted Stock Award under the Plan;
     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED, by and between the Company and the Participant, as follows:
     1. Terms of Award. The following terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in this paragraph 1:
(a)   The “Participant” is Ramon Norniella.
 
(b)   The “Grant Date” is February 15, 2006.
(c)   The number of “Covered Shares” awarded under this Agreement is 5,556 shares. “Covered Shares” are shares of Stock granted under this Agreement and are subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.
Other terms used in this Agreement are defined pursuant to paragraph 13 or elsewhere in this Agreement.
     2. Award. The Participant is hereby granted the number of Covered Shares set forth in paragraph 1.
     3. Section 83(b) Election. The parties agree that the Fair Market Value of each Covered Share as of the Grant Date is $9.01. The Participant, in his sole discretion, may make a Section 83(b) Election with the IRS in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The Participant understands that under applicable law such election must be filed with the IRS no later than 30 days after any grant of the Covered Shares is to be effective. If the Participant files an effective 83(b) Election, the excess of the fair market value of the Covered Shares (which the IRS may assert is different from the Fair Market Value determined by the parties) covered by such election over the amount paid by the Participant for the Covered Shares shall be treated as ordinary income received by the Participant, and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries shall withhold from Participant’s compensation all amounts required to be withheld under applicable law. If the Participant does not file an 83(b) Election, future appreciation on the Covered Shares will

 


 

generally be taxable as ordinary income when such Covered Shares vest pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing discussion is based on Federal tax laws and regulations presently in effect, which are subject to change, and the discussion does not purport to be a complete description of the Federal income tax aspects of the program or grants under it. The Participant may also be subject to state and local taxes in connection with the grant of Covered Shares under the program. The Company suggests that the Participant consult with his individual tax advisor to determine the applicability of the tax rules to the awards granted to him in his personal circumstances.
     4. Dividends and Voting Rights. The Participant shall be entitled to receive any dividends paid with respect to the Covered Shares that become payable during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that no dividends shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Participant for Covered Shares with respect to record dates occurring prior to the Grant Date, or with respect to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited those Covered Shares. The Participant shall be entitled to vote the Covered Shares during the Restricted Period to the same extent as would have been applicable to the Participant if the Participant was then vested in the shares; provided, however, that the Participant shall not be entitled to vote the shares with respect to record dates for such voting rights arising prior to the Grant Date, or with respect to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited those Covered Shares.
     5. Deposit of Covered Shares. Each certificate issued in respect of the Covered Shares granted under this Agreement shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall be deposited in a bank designated by the Committee. During the Restricted Period, all certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock will be imprinted with the following legend: “The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to the transfer restrictions, forfeiture restrictions and other provisions of the Restricted Stock Agreement dated February 15, 2006, between Coinmach Service Corp. and Ramon Norniella.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cause the Covered Shares to be held in book-entry form on behalf of the Participant without the issuance of certificates.
     6. Transfer and Forfeiture of Shares. If the Date of Termination (as defined below) does not occur during the Restricted Period with respect to any Installment of the Covered Shares, then, at the end of the Restricted Period for such shares, the Participant shall become vested in those Covered Shares, and shall own the shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement. With respect to all Covered Shares, the “Restricted Period” shall begin on the Grant Date. The “Restricted Period” with respect to each Installment shown on the schedule shall end on the Vesting Date applicable to such Installment:

 


 

     
    VESTING DATE
    APPLICABLE TO
INSTALLMENT   INSTALLMENT
1,111   Grant Date
1,111   One-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
1,111   Two-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
1,111   Three-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
1,112   Four-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 6, the following provisions shall apply:
  (a)   Change in Control. If the Participant’s Date of Termination does not occur prior to a Change in Control, then as of the Change in Control, all Covered Shares that have not previously vested shall vest and the Participant shall become the owner of such shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement.
 
  (b)   Other Corporate Transactions. Upon the occurrence of a corporate transaction involving the Company of the type described in paragraph 5.2(f) of the Plan on or before the Date of Termination and prior to the end of the Restricted Period, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the vesting of all of the Covered Shares and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that are vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
 
  (c)   Death and Disability. The Participant shall become vested in the Covered Shares prior to the end of the Restricted Period upon his death or Disability and shall become the owner of such shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that have vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
 
  (d)   Other Employment Termination. In the event the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs for any reason other than the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant shall, as of a Date of Termination, forfeit the Covered Shares that as of such date have not become vested and the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that have vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
Covered Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered until the expiration of the Restricted Period or, if earlier, until the Participant is vested in

 


 

the shares. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph 6, the Participant shall forfeit the Covered Shares as of a Date of Termination that occurs during the Restricted Period.
     7. Withholding. The grant and vesting of shares of Stock under this Agreement are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes. At the election of the Participant, and subject to such rules and limitations as may be established by the Committee from time to time and subject to any applicable loan commitments of the Company or its affiliates, such withholding obligations may be satisfied through the surrender of shares of Stock (i) which the Participant already owns, or (ii) to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan; provided, however, that shares described in this clause (ii) may be used to satisfy not more than the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligation (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for Federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income).
     8. Heirs and Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and business. If any rights of the Participant or benefits distributable to the Participant under this Agreement have not been exercised or distributed, respectively, at the time of the Participant’s death, such rights shall be exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary, and such benefits shall be distributed to the Designated Beneficiary, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. The “Designated Beneficiary” shall be the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Participant in a writing filed with the Committee in such form and at such time as the Committee shall require. If a deceased Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the Designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, any rights that would have been exercisable by the Participant and any benefits distributable to the Participant shall be exercised by or distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Participant. If a deceased Participant designates a beneficiary and the Designated Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the Designated Beneficiary’s exercise of all rights under this Agreement or before the complete distribution of benefits to the Designated Beneficiary under this Agreement, then any rights that would have been exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary shall be exercised by the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary, and any benefits distributable to the Designated Beneficiary shall be distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary.
     9. Administration. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of this Agreement shall be vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to this Agreement as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of the Agreement by the Committee and any decision made by it with respect to the Agreement is final and binding.
     10. Plan Governs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which may be obtained by the Participant from the office of the Secretary of the Company.

 


 

     11. Fractional Shares. In lieu of issuing a fraction of a share pursuant to paragraph 5.2(f) of the Plan or otherwise, the Company will be entitled to pay to the Participant an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share.
     12. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, and may otherwise be amended by written agreement of the Participant and the Company without the consent of any other person.
     13. Applicable Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law provisions of any jurisdiction.

For purposes of this letter, no act on the Participant’s part shall be considered “intentional” if it was due primarily to an error in judgment or negligence, but shall be considered intentional only if done by the Participant not in good faith and without reasonable belief that such action or omission was in the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that if the Participant’s employment is subject to an employment agreement that contains a definition of “Cause” or “Termination for Cause,” then, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this definition or the provisions of this Agreement, the definition of “Cause” or “Termination for Cause” in such employment agreement, rather than the foregoing definition in this Agreement, shall apply to the Participant.
 
  (b)   Change in Control. “Change in Control” has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Plan.
 
  (c)   Date of Termination. The term “Date of Termination” means the first day occurring on or after the Grant Date on which the Participant is not

If the Participant is employed by a Subsidiary and if, as a result of a sale or other transaction, the Participant’s employer ceases to be a Subsidiary (and the Participant’s employer is or becomes an entity that is separate from the Company), and the Participant is not, at the end of the 30-day period following the transaction, employed by the Company or an entity that is then a Subsidiary, then the occurrence of such transaction shall be treated as the Participant’s Date of Termination caused by the Participant being discharged by the employer.
 
  (d)   Disability. The Participant shall be considered to have a “Disability” during the period in which the Participant is unable, by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, to engage in any substantial gainful activity, which condition, in the opinion of a physician selected by the Committee, is expected to have a duration of not less than 120 days; provided, however, that if the Participant’s employment is subject to an employment agreement that contains a definition of “Disability” or “Disabled,” then, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this definition or the provisions of this Agreement, the definition of “Disability” or “Disabled” in such employment agreement, rather than the foregoing definition in this Agreement, shall apply to the Participant.
 
  (e)   IRS. The term “IRS” means the Internal Revenue Service.
 
  (f)   Plan Definitions. Except where the context clearly implies or indicates the contrary, a word, term, or phrase used in the Plan is similarly used in this Agreement.

  (i)   Section 83(b) Election. The term “Section 83(b) Election” means an election made with the IRS under Section 83(b) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

          6. The amount paid for such property: $0.00.
          7. A copy of this election has been furnished to the person for whom the services are performed.

Exhibit 10.49
Tier One Award Agreement
COINMACH SERVICE CORP. 2004 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
     THIS AGREEMENT, entered into as of the Grant Date (as defined in paragraph 1), by and between the Participant and Coinmach Service Corp. (the “Company”);
WITNESSETH THAT:
     WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Coinmach Service Corp. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated into and forms a part of this Agreement, and the Participant has been selected by the committee administering the Plan (the “Committee”) to receive a Restricted Stock Award under the Plan;
     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED, by and between the Company and the Participant, as follows:
     1. Terms of Award. The following terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in this paragraph 1:
(a)   The “Participant” is James Chapman.
 
(b)   The “Grant Date” is February 15, 2006.
 
(c)   The number of “Covered Shares” awarded under this Agreement is 11,111 shares. “Covered Shares” are shares of Stock granted under this Agreement and are subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.
Other terms used in this Agreement are defined pursuant to paragraph 13 or elsewhere in this Agreement.
     2. Award. The Participant is hereby granted the number of Covered Shares set forth in paragraph 1.
     3. Section 83(b) Election. The parties agree that the Fair Market Value of each Covered Share as of the Grant Date is $9.01. The Participant, in his sole discretion, may make a Section 83(b) Election with the IRS in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. The Participant understands that under applicable law such election must be filed with the IRS no later than 30 days after any grant of the Covered Shares is to be effective. If the Participant files an effective 83(b) Election, the excess of the fair market value of the Covered Shares (which the IRS may assert is different from the Fair Market Value determined by the parties) covered by such election over the amount paid by the Participant for the Covered Shares shall be treated as ordinary income received by the Participant, and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries shall withhold from Participant’s compensation all amounts required to be withheld under applicable law. If the Participant does not file an 83(b) Election, future appreciation on the Covered Shares will

 


 

generally be taxable as ordinary income when such Covered Shares vest pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing discussion is based on Federal tax laws and regulations presently in effect, which are subject to change, and the discussion does not purport to be a complete description of the Federal income tax aspects of the program or grants under it. The Participant may also be subject to state and local taxes in connection with the grant of Covered Shares under the program. The Company suggests that the Participant consult with his individual tax advisor to determine the applicability of the tax rules to the awards granted to him in his personal circumstances.
     4. Dividends and Voting Rights. The Participant shall be entitled to receive any dividends paid with respect to the Covered Shares that become payable during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that no dividends shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Participant for Covered Shares with respect to record dates occurring prior to the Grant Date, or with respect to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited those Covered Shares. The Participant shall be entitled to vote the Covered Shares during the Restricted Period to the same extent as would have been applicable to the Participant if the Participant was then vested in the shares; provided, however, that the Participant shall not be entitled to vote the shares with respect to record dates for such voting rights arising prior to the Grant Date, or with respect to record dates occurring on or after the date, if any, on which the Participant has forfeited those Covered Shares.
     5. Deposit of Covered Shares. Each certificate issued in respect of the Covered Shares granted under this Agreement shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall be deposited in a bank designated by the Committee. During the Restricted Period, all certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock will be imprinted with the following legend: “The securities evidenced by this certificate are subject to the transfer restrictions, forfeiture restrictions and other provisions of the Restricted Stock Agreement dated February 15, 2006, between Coinmach Service Corp. and James Chapman.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, cause the Covered Shares to be held in book-entry form on behalf of the Participant without the issuance of certificates.
     6. Transfer and Forfeiture of Shares. If the Date of Termination (as defined below) does not occur during the Restricted Period with respect to any Installment of the Covered Shares, then, at the end of the Restricted Period for such shares, the Participant shall become vested in those Covered Shares, and shall own the shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement. With respect to all Covered Shares, the “Restricted Period” shall begin on the Grant Date. The “Restricted Period” with respect to each Installment shown on the schedule shall end on the Vesting Date applicable to such Installment:

 


 

     
    VESTING DATE
    APPLICABLE TO
INSTALLMENT   INSTALLMENT
2,222   Grant Date
2,222   One-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
2,222   Two-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
2,222   Three-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
2,223   Four-Year Anniversary of Grant Date
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 6, the following provisions shall apply:
  (a)   Change in Control. If the Participant’s Date of Termination does not occur prior to a Change in Control, then as of the Change in Control, all Covered Shares that have not previously vested shall vest and the Participant shall become the owner of such shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement.
 
  (b)   Other Corporate Transactions. Upon the occurrence of a corporate transaction involving the Company of the type described in paragraph 5.2(f) of the Plan on or before the Date of Termination and prior to the end of the Restricted Period, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the vesting of all of the Covered Shares and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that are vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
 
  (c)   Death and Disability. The Participant shall become vested in the Covered Shares prior to the end of the Restricted Period upon his death or Disability and shall become the owner of such shares free of all restrictions otherwise imposed by this Agreement. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that have vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
 
  (d)   Other Employment Termination. In the event the Participant’s Date of Termination occurs for any reason other than the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant shall, as of a Date of Termination, forfeit the Covered Shares that as of such date have not become vested and the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to repurchase for the Repurchase Price all of the Covered Shares that have vested of which the Participant is the owner on the Repurchase Date.
Covered Shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered until the expiration of the Restricted Period or, if earlier, until the Participant is vested in

 


 

the shares. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph 6, the Participant shall forfeit the Covered Shares as of a Date of Termination that occurs during the Restricted Period.
     7. Withholding. The grant and vesting of shares of Stock under this Agreement are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes. At the election of the Participant, and subject to such rules and limitations as may be established by the Committee from time to time and subject to any applicable loan commitments of the Company or its affiliates, such withholding obligations may be satisfied through the surrender of shares of Stock (i) which the Participant already owns, or (ii) to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan; provided, however, that shares described in this clause (ii) may be used to satisfy not more than the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligation (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for Federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income).
     8. Heirs and Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Company and its successors and assigns, and upon any person acquiring, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and business. If any rights of the Participant or benefits distributable to the Participant under this Agreement have not been exercised or distributed, respectively, at the time of the Participant’s death, such rights shall be exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary, and such benefits shall be distributed to the Designated Beneficiary, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan. The “Designated Beneficiary” shall be the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated by the Participant in a writing filed with the Committee in such form and at such time as the Committee shall require. If a deceased Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if the Designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, any rights that would have been exercisable by the Participant and any benefits distributable to the Participant shall be exercised by or distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Participant. If a deceased Participant designates a beneficiary and the Designated Beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the Designated Beneficiary’s exercise of all rights under this Agreement or before the complete distribution of benefits to the Designated Beneficiary under this Agreement, then any rights that would have been exercisable by the Designated Beneficiary shall be exercised by the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary, and any benefits distributable to the Designated Beneficiary shall be distributed to the legal representative of the estate of the Designated Beneficiary.
     9. Administration. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of this Agreement shall be vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to this Agreement as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of the Agreement by the Committee and any decision made by it with respect to the Agreement is final and binding.
     10. Plan Governs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which may be obtained by the Participant from the office of the Secretary of the Company.

 


 

     11. Fractional Shares. In lieu of issuing a fraction of a share pursuant to paragraph 5.2(f) of the Plan or otherwise, the Company will be entitled to pay to the Participant an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such fractional share.
     12. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, and may otherwise be amended by written agreement of the Participant and the Company without the consent of any other person.
     13. Applicable Law. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of law provisions of any jurisdiction.
     14. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement shall be subject to the following:
