NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note (1) – General: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2007. The June 30, 2007 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) – Earnings Per Share: Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 are computed as follows:

At September 30, 2007 and 2006, there were outstanding options to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which were excluded in the computation of earnings per share because the exercise price of the options was at least the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period.

Note (3) – Revolving Credit Line: On October 22, 2007, the Company received an extension until October 30, 2008 of its existing $2,250,000 revolving line of credit facility. The Company’s obligations under the facility are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries and collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets. No amounts were outstanding under this facility at September 30, 2007 or June 30, 2007.
Note (4) - Stock-Based Compensation Plans: The Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan and 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan are the Company’s only stock-based compensation plans. The 2000 Stock Option Plan authorizes the grant (until May 2, 2010) of options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to employees, directors and consultants, of which no options were outstanding on September 30, 2007. The 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan terminated as to future grants on August 23, 2004, but options to purchase 20,000 shares remain outstanding thereunder.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), utilizing the modified prospective approach. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for stock option grants under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, and, accordingly, recognized no compensation expense for stock option grants in net income.
Under the modified prospective approach, SFAS 123(R) applies to new grants and to grants that were outstanding on December 31, 2005 to the extent not yet vested. Since no new options were granted during the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and all outstanding options were fully vested at December 31, 2005, no compensation cost for share-based payments was recognized under SFAS 123(R) during the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. Prior periods are not required to be restated to reflect the impact of adopting the new standard.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (that is, Gross versus Net Presentation).” EITF 06-3 requires an entity to disclose its policy for presenting taxes assessed on revenue-producing transaction between a seller and customer. Such taxes may include sales, use, and some excise taxes, among others. EITF 06-3 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2006 with early application permitted. For the periods presented in this Report, the Company has presented such taxes net. The implementation of EITF 06-3 did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements and prescribes a two-step test for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken on a tax return. FIN 48 provides guidance for determining whether tax benefits may be recognized with respect to uncertain tax positions and, if recognized, the amount that may be recorded. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and provides for additional fair value disclosures. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not believe SFAS 157 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effect of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 requires the use of two approaches in quantitatively evaluating the materiality of misstatements. If the misstatement as quantified under either approach is material to the current year financial statements, the misstatement must be corrected. If the effect of correcting a prior year misstatement in the current year income statement is material, the prior year financial statements should be corrected. In the year of adoption (fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006), the misstatements may be corrected as an accounting change by adjusting opening retained earnings rather than being included in the current year income statement. The Company does not expect SAB 108 to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which permits, at specified election dates, all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year beginning on or after November 15, 2007 with early application permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year beginning on or before November 15, 2007 if an entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 159. The Company did not elect early application of SFAS No. 159. Retrospective application is not permitted unless early adoption is adopted. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
Overview
Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased by $1,175,554 or 19.9% over the same period of fiscal 2007. The level of sales of commercial laundry equipment has varied in recent years based on the timing of shipments under larger orders. While these larger orders generate lower gross profit margins, they tend to increase revenues and operating income. During the quarter ended September 2007, the Company had fewer large sales than it did in the quarter ended September 2006, which adversely effected revenues and operating income compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The comparative reductions were also attributable to heavy shipments in September 2006 from backlog. In addition, drycleaning equipment shipments continue to decrease as drycleaning establishments consolidated and fashion continues to change to a more casual mode. The slowing economy and longer delivery dates on laundry equipment may affect sales for the balance of fiscal 2008.
Cash on hand decreased during the quarter by $1,242,480, mostly due to an increased level of inventory needed to support future orders and an increase in accounts receivable as a result of heavy shipments during September 2007. Cash on hand at September 30, 2007 and availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility are more than adequate to service the Company’s needs for the year.
On September 25, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a $.04 per share semi-annual dividend (an aggregate of $281,372) payable on November 1, 2007 to shareholders of record on October 12, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, cash decreased by $1,242,480 compared to a decrease of $271,996 during the same period of fiscal 2007. The following summarizes the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Operating activities |
$ (1,232,943) |
$ (219,480) |
Investing activities |
(9,537) |
(52,516) |
For the three month period ended September 30, 2007, operating activities used cash of $1,232,943 compared to cash of $219,480 used by operating activities during the same period of fiscal 2007. Cash was provided by the Company’s net earnings ($113,044) and non-operating expenses for depreciation and amortization ($34,565). However, this cash was offset by cash used as a result of changes in assets and liabilities of $1,384,627 during the three month period ended September 30, 2007, principally to support an increase in accounts and trade notes receivable ($664,604) due to heavy shipments in September 2007 which had not yet been paid for and an increase in inventories ($660,023) to support future shipments. Cash was additionally used for an increase in other assets ($59,071) and decreases in unearned income ($20,693) and
10
accrued employee expenses ($316,994). These additional cash uses was substantially offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses ($200,812) and customer deposits ($74,910) and a decrease in refundable income taxes ($41,036).
For the three month period ended September 30, 2006, cash was provided by the Company’s net earnings ($186,779) and non-operating expenses for depreciation and amortization ($30,209) and bad debts ($1,117). These were offset by $437,585 used as a result of changes in operating assets and liabilities. The principal reasons for the decrease in cash used as a result of changes in operating assets and liabilities were decreases in customer deposits ($425,815) due to heavy shipments in September 2006 from backlog, accrued employee expenses ($259,679), income tax payable ($46,989) and unearned income ($20,693), coupled with uses of cash to support increases in inventories ($105,940), accounts, trade notes and lease receivables ($94,946) and other assets ($46,534). These uses were significantly offset by cash resulting from an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses which provided cash of ($563,011), principally caused by the restocking of inventory for which payment was not due by quarter end.
Investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 used cash of $9,537 compared to $52,516 used in the same period of fiscal 2006, mostly for capital expenditures.
There were no financing activities during the first quarters of fiscal 2008 and 2007.
A table of Company declared dividends is listed in Note 5 of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”.
On October 22, 2007, the Company received an extension until October 30, 2008 of its existing $2,250,000 revolving line of credit facility. The Company’s obligations under the facility continue to be guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries and collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets. No amounts were outstanding under this facility at September 30, 2007 or June 30, 2007.
The Company believes that its present cash position and cash it expects to generate from operations, as well as, if needed, cash borrowings available under its $2,250,000 revolving line of credit facility, will be sufficient to meet its operational needs.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing
The Company has no off-balance sheet financing arrangements within the meaning of item 303(c) of Regulation S-B.

Revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 decreased by $1,175,554 (19.9%) from the same period of fiscal 2007. The decrease was attributable to a $1,200,556 (20.5%) decrease in revenue of the commercial laundry and dry cleaning segment, with commercial laundry equipment sales decreasing by 27.9%, dry cleaning equipment sales decreasing by 39.7% and boiler sales decreasing by (10.1%). These decreases were offset, in part, by an increase in spare parts sales (1.9%). The comparative reduction was also attributable to relatively heavy shipments in September 2006 from backlog. Development fees, franchise and license fees, commissions and other income increased by $46,135 (37.3%), principally due to increased renewal license fees and development fees.

Costs of goods sold, expressed as a percentage of sales, decreased to 75.8% from 77.7% for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period of fiscal 2007. The improved margins were due to the absence of large contract shipments which improved the product mix.
Selling general and administrative expenses increased by $4,887 (.04%), but as a percentage of revenues increased to 24.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from 19.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. While expenses in these categories were basically flat in the comparable quarters, the increase as a percentage of revenues in the fiscal 2008 period was due to the decreased level of sales which affected the absorption of fixed and semi-variable expenses in these categories.
Research and development expenses are a small part of the Company’s total operating expenses and relate to upgrading existing product lines.
The overall cost of sales and operating expenses of the Company, expressed as a percentage of revenues, increased to 97.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from 95.5% in the same period of fiscal 2007. Improved gross profit margins were offset by selling and administrative expenses which were spread over reduced revenues.
Interest income increased by $11,564 (30.3%) in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 over the same period of fiscal 2007 due to interest received on higher average bank balances and an increase in interest rates.
The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 36.0% from 38.0% due to changes in deferred tax assets and other deductions which, coupled with the lower earnings before income taxes, reduced the provision for income taxes by $50,950 (44.5%) in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

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 Sheila Steiner, who together with her husband, William K. Steiner, Chairman of the Board of Directors and a director of the Company, are the trustees of a trust which is a principal shareholder of the Company. The lease is for a three year period beginning November 1, 2005 at an annual rental of $94,500 with annual increases commencing November 1, 2006 of 3% over the rent in the prior year. The Company is to bear the costs of real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance, non-structural repairs and insurance. The new lease contains two three-year renewal options in favor of the Company. 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.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting policies that the Company has identified as critical to its business operations and to an understanding of the Company’s results of operations remain unchanged from those described in the Management’s Discussion an Analysis or Plan of Operation section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The Company makes estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the actual results will not differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (that is, Gross versus Net Presentation).” EITF 06-3 requires an entity to disclose its policy for presenting taxes assessed on revenue-producing transaction between a seller and customer. Such taxes may include sales, use, and some excise taxes, among others. EITF 06-3 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2006 with early application permitted. For the periods presented in this Report, the Company has presented such taxes net. The implementation of EITF 06-3 did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements and prescribes a two-step test for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken on a tax return. FIN 48 provides guidance for determining whether tax benefits may be recognized with respect to uncertain tax positions and, if recognized, the amount that may be recorded. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and provides for additional fair value disclosures. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not believe SFAS 157 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effect of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 requires the use of two approaches in quantitatively evaluating the materiality of misstatements. If the misstatement as quantified under either approach is material to the current year financial statements, the misstatement must be corrected. If the effect of correcting a prior year misstatement in the current year income statement is material, the prior year financial statements should be corrected. In the year of adoption (fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006), the misstatements may be corrected as an accounting change by adjusting opening retained earnings rather than being included in the current year income statement. The Company does not expect SAB 108 to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which permits, at specified election dates, all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year beginning on or after November 15, 2007 with early application permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year beginning on or before November 15, 2007 if an entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 159. The Company did not elect early application of SFAS No. 159. Retrospective application is not permitted unless early adoption is adopted. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Report are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this Report, words such as “may,” “should,” “seek,” “believe,” “expect,” anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “strategy” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements regarding events, conditions and financial trends that may affect the Company’s future plans, operations, business strategies, operating results and financial position. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, trends, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry trends and results, to differ materially from the future results, trends, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others: general economic and business conditions in the United States and other countries in which the Company’s customers and suppliers are located; industry conditions and trends; technology changes; competition and other factors which may affect prices which the Company may charge for its products and its profit margins; the availability and cost of the equipment purchased by the Company; relative values of the United States currency to currencies in the countries in which the Company’s customers, suppliers and competitors are located; changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulation, principally environmental regulations; and the Company’s ability to successfully introduce, market and sell at acceptable profit margins its new Green Jet® dry-wetcleaning machine and Multi-Jet® dry cleaning machine; the Company’s ability to implement changes in its business strategies and development plans; and the availability, terms and deployment of debt and equity capital if needed for expansion. These and certain other factors are discussed in this Report and from time to time in other Company reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not assume an obligation to update the factors discussed in this Report or such other reports.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management of the Company, with the participation of the Company’s President and principal executive officer and the Company’s Treasurer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, these officers concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including those officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth the Company’s periodic reports.
During the period covered by this Report, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
