In the opinion of the management of Mac-Gray Corporation (the “Company” or “Mac-Gray,”) the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments), which are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations, and its cash flows. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2012 audited consolidated financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
