              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              ----------------------------------------------------

NOTE (1) - GENERAL: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-QSB
related to interim period financial statements. Accordingly, these condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include certain information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. However, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order
to make the financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year. For further information, refer to the Company's financial
statements and footnotes thereto in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended June 30, 2002. The June 30, 2002 balance sheet information,
contained herein, was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB as of that date.

NOTE (2) - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: As a result of a reduction of revenues and
increasing losses and the Company's determination that the telecommunications
segment was not part of its core business, effective July 31, 2002, the Company
sold substantially all of the operating assets (principally inventory, equipment
and intangible assets, including tradenames) of its Metro-Tel telecommunications
segment to an unaffiliated third party. The Company retained all of the cash,
accounts receivable and liabilities of the segment. The sales price was
$800,000, of which $250,000 was paid in cash on August 2, 2002 and the remaining
$550,000 is evidenced by the purchaser's promissory note that bears interest at
the prevailing prime rate plus 1% per annum and is payable in 42 equal monthly
installments commencing October 1, 2002. Payment and performance of the
promissory note is guaranteed by two companies affiliated with the purchaser and
the three principal stockholders of purchaser and the affiliated companies, and
is collateralized by substantially all of the operating assets of the purchaser
and the affiliated companies. The Company has agreed to subordinate payment of
the promissory note, the obligations of the affiliated companies under their
guarantees and the collateral granted by the purchaser and the affiliated
companies to the obligations of the purchaser and the affiliated companies to
two bank lenders, subject to the Company's right to receive installment payments
under the promissory note as long as the purchaser and the affiliated companies
are not in default of their obligations to the applicable lender. The Company
agreed to a three-year covenant not to compete with the purchaser.

The results of operations of the Company's Metro-Tel segment have been
classified as discontinued operations. The estimated loss on the sale of
approximately $555,000 was accrued for in the Company's financial statements for
the year ended June 30, 2002.

NOTE (3) - EARNINGS PER SHARE: There were 522,750 and 497,750 stock options
outstanding at September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, respectively, that
were excluded in the computations of earnings per share for such periods because
the exercise



                                       6
<PAGE>

prices of the options were less than the average market prices of the Company's
common stock during these periods.

NOTE (4) - REVOLVING CREDIT LINE: On October 11, 2002, the Company received an
extension, until October 30, 2003, of its existing $2,250,000 revolving line of
credit facility. Revolving credit borrowings are limited by a borrowing base of
60% of eligible accounts receivable and 60% of certain, and 50% of other,
eligible inventories. As of September 30, 2002 the Company had no outstanding
borrowings under the line of credit.

NOTE (5) - SEGMENT INFORMATION: The Company's reportable segments are strategic
businesses that offer different products and services. They are managed
separately because each business requires different marketing strategies. The
Company primarily evaluates the operating performance of its segments based on
the categories noted in the table below. The Company has no sales between
segments.

Financial information for the Company's current business segments is as follows:

NOTE (6) - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued FASB
Statements No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires the use of the purchase
method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141
also requires that the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart from
goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria. SFAS 141
applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and for
purchase business combinations completed on or after July 1, 2001. It also
requires, upon adoption of SFAS 142, that the Company reclassify the carrying
amounts of intangible assets and goodwill based on the criteria in SFAS 141.

     SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer
amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually.
In addition, SFAS 142 requires that the Company identify reporting units for the
purposes of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, reassess the
useful lives of other existing recognized intangible assets, and cease
amortization of intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. An intangible
asset with an indefinite useful life should be tested for impairment in
accordance with the guidance in SFAS 142. SFAS 142 is required to be applied in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 to all goodwill and other
intangible assets recognized at that date, regardless of when those assets were
initially recognized. SFAS 142 requires the Company to complete a transitional
goodwill impairment test six months from the date of adoption. The Company is
also required to reassess the useful lives of other intangible assets within the
first interim quarter after adoption of SFAS 142.

     The Company's previous business combinations were accounted for using the
purchase method. As of September 30, 2002, the net carrying amount of intangible
assets is $444,158. Amortization expense during the three month period ended
September 30, 2002 was $15,497 and $15,059, respectively. There was no goodwill
at September 30, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 did not have a
significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.

     In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, Accounting for Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement supersedes FASB Statement No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB opinion No.
30, "Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for
the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion).
This Statement also amends ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements" to
eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is
likely to be temporary. The provisions of this Statement are effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application
encouraged. The provisions of this Statement generally are to be applied
prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a significant impact on its
financial position or results of operations.



                                       8
<PAGE>

     In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS 146 requires companies to recognize
costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather
than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. This statement
supercedes the guidance provided by Emerging Issues Task Force 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS 146 is
required to be adopted for exit or disposal activities initiated after December
31, 2002. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 146 will have a
significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.


ITEM 2:     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
GENERAL
- -------

As a result of a reduction of revenues and increasing losses and the Company's
determination that the telecommunications segment was not part of its core
business, effective July 31, 2002, the Company sold substantially all of the
operating assets (principally inventory, equipment and intangible assets,
including tradenames) of its Metro-Tel telecommunications segment to an
unaffiliated third party. The Company retained all of the cash, accounts
receivable and liabilities of the segment. The sales price was $800,000, of
which $250,000 was paid in cash on August 2, 2002 and the remaining $550,000 is
evidenced by the purchaser's promissory note that bears interest at the
prevailing prime rate plus 1% per annum and is payable in 42 equal monthly
installments commencing October 1, 2002. Payment and performance of the
promissory note is guaranteed by two companies affiliated with the purchaser and
the three principal shareholders of purchaser and the affiliated companies, and
is collateralized by substantially all of the operating assets of the purchaser
and the affiliated companies. The Company has agreed to subordinate payment of
the promissory note, the obligations of the affiliated companies under their
guarantees and the collateral granted by the purchaser and the affiliated
companies to the obligations of the purchaser and the affiliated companies to
two bank lenders, subject to the Company's right to receive installment payments
under the promissory note as long as the purchaser and the affiliated companies
are not in default of their obligations to the applicable lender. The Company
agreed to a three-year covenant not to compete with the purchaser.

The results of operations of the Company's Metro-Tel segment are not discussed
in detail here as they have been classified as discontinued operations. The
estimated loss on the sale of approximately $555,000 was accrued for in the
Company's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2002. The following
discussion relates to the Company's continuing operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

For the three months ended September 30, 2002, cash increased by $35,944
compared to a decrease of $198,965 for the same period of fiscal 2002.

Earnings from continuing operations, exclusive of non-cash expenses for
depreciation and amortization ($35,721) and bad debt expense ($15,651), provided
cash of $234,760. However, changes in operating assets and liabilities used
$320,274 of cash, principally to support an increase in accounts, trade notes
and lease receivables ($126,218). In



                                       9
<PAGE>

addition, cash of $527,721 was used to reduce accounts payable and accrued
expenses. These uses were partially offset by a reduction in inventories
($148,412), refundable income taxes ($122,258) and a decrease in other assets
($63,266).

For the three months ended September 30, 2001, continuing operations used cash
of $952,138, principally to support increases in accounts, trade notes and lease
receivables ($238,299), inventories ($207,452) and other current assets
($36,379) and a decrease in customer deposits ($20,679), as well as to reduce
accounts payable and accrued expenses ($463,468). Additional cash was provided
by positive cash flows from the Company's continuing operations of $14,439
exclusive of non-cash expenses of $27,289 for depreciation and amortization.
Discontinued operations used cash of $16,798.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2003
was $201,458, primarily as a result of $210,000 cash provided by the net
proceeds from the sale of the Company's telecommunications segment. The Company
purchased no equipment during the period. For the same period of fiscal 2002,
investing activities used cash of $73,175 principally for equipment purchases
($68,172) and to fund patent work ($5,000).

Financing activities used cash of $80,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003 to
make payments on the Company's term loan. For the same period of fiscal 2002,
financing activities provided cash of $843,146 principally due to the borrowing
of $963,146 under the Company's revolving line of credit, which was partially
offset by installment payments made on the Company's term loan ($120,000).

On October 11, 2002, the Company received an extension, until October 30, 2003,
of its existing $2,250,000 revolving line of credit facility. Revolving credit
borrowings are limited by a borrowing base of 60% of eligible accounts
receivable and 60% of certain, and 50% of other, eligible inventories. As of
September 30, 2002 the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the line of
credit.

The Company believes that its present cash position and cash it expects to
generate from operations and cash borrowings available under its $2,250,000 line
of credit will be sufficient to meet its currently anticipated operational
needs.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------

The following sets forth a schedule of payments required as of September 30,
2002 under the Company's contractual obligations described below:

                                  ===============================================================
</TABLE>

Included in the above is a lease for a future dry cleaning store that the
Company anticipates assigning to a dry cleaning franchisee or other customer
when the leased facilities are available for occupancy. The maximum potential
payment commitment is $35,000 in annual base rent per year for five years
beginning upon completion of site building. Although the actual completion date
is presently uncertain, it is probable that completion of the location will be
in fiscal 2003. In September of fiscal 2003, the Company terminated its lease
for the Milpitas, CA plant formerly occupied by the telecommunications segment
and paid termination charges aggregating $53,441.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCING
- ---------------------------

Except for the operating leases, the Company has no off-balance sheet financing
arrangements. The Company's bank revolving credit facility includes a $250,000
foreign exchange subfacility for the purpose of enabling the Company to hedge
its currency exposure in connection with its import activities through spot
foreign exchange and forward exchange contracts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Total revenues from continuing operations for the three month period ended
September 30, 2002 increased by $274,915 (7.8%) from the same period of fiscal
2002. Revenues of the commercial laundry and dry cleaning equipment segment
increased by 9.1%, primarily due to sales of the new Green-Jet(R)
dry-wetcleaning(TM) machine which was not in production in the comparable
quarter in fiscal 2002. Sales increases were also recorded for commercial
laundry equipment (approximately 25%) and brokerage commissions (approximately
14%). Revenues ($50,000) of the Company's development division, which was not in
operation during the first quarter of fiscal 2002, also contributed to the
increase. These increases were offset by a decrease in sales of spare parts
(3.9%). Revenues of the Company's license and franchise segment decreased by
$37,555 (44.5%) primarily due to the slower economy in the United States and
Latin America resulting in fewer licensed and franchised units.



                                       11
<PAGE>

Costs of goods sold, expressed as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 71.2%
for the first three months of fiscal 2003 from 77.8% for the same period of
fiscal 2002. The improvement was primarily attributable to the increased sales
of the Green-Jet(R) dry-wetcleaning(TM) machine, which has higher margins than
most of the Company's other products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $25,892 (2.8%) during
the first quarter of fiscal 2003 from the same period of a year ago. This
decrease resulted from reductions in exhibit and convention expenses and
telephone costs, which offset increases in travel and entertainment and
insurance costs.

Research and development expenses increased by $4,362 (55.2%) in the first
quarter of fiscal 2003 from the first quarter of fiscal 2002, mostly associated
with continuing design changes and the development of new models of the
Green-Jet dry-wetcleaning machine.

Interest income decreased by $2,954 (71.8%) from the prior year as a result of
fewer outstanding customer leases of laundry and dry cleaning equipment.

Interest expense decreased by $10,873 (55.5%) in the first quarter of fiscal
2003 from the same period of fiscal 2002, primarily due to a reduction in the
outstanding principal balances under the Company's term loan and revolving
credit facility.

The effective tax rate used in each of the periods was 40%.


INFLATION
- ---------

Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Company's operations during
any of the reported periods.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
- ---------------------------------

The Company leases 27,000 square feet of warehouse and office space from William
K. Steiner, a principal stockholder, Chairman of the Board of Directors and a
director of the Company, under a lease, which expires in October 2004. Annual
rental under this lease is approximately $83,200. The Company believes that the
terms of the lease are comparable to terms that would be obtained from an
unaffiliated third party for similar property in a similar locale.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
- -----------------------------

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued FASB
Statements No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), and No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 141 requires the use of the purchase
method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141
also requires that the Company recognize acquired intangible assets apart from
goodwill if the acquired intangible assets meet certain criteria. SFAS 141
applies to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and for
purchase business combinations completed on or



                                       12
<PAGE>

after July 1, 2001. It also requires, upon adoption of SFAS 142, that the
Company reclassify the carrying amounts of intangible assets and goodwill based
on the criteria in SFAS 141.

     SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer
amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually.
In addition, SFAS 142 requires that the Company identify reporting units for the

     The Company's previous business combinations were accounted for using the

assets is $444,158. Amortization expense during the three month period ended
September 30, 2002 was $15,497 and $15,059, respectively. There was no goodwill
at September 30, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 did not have a
significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.

     In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, Accounting for Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement supersedes FASB Statement No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB opinion No.
30, "Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," for
the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion).
This Statement also amends ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements" to
eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is
likely to be temporary. The provisions of this Statement are effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application
encouraged. The provisions of this Statement generally are to be applied
prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a significant impact on its
financial position or results of operations.

     In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS 146 requires companies to recognize
costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather
than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. This statement
supercedes the guidance provided by Emerging Issues Task Force 94-3, "Liability
Recognition for Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS 146 is
required to be adopted for exit or disposal activities initiated after December
31, 2002. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 146 will have a
significant impact on its financial position or results of operations.
