These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 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, as well as 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 net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule listed in the Table of Contents is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP June 6, 2003 5 THE ANGELICA CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR PLAN BENEFITS DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 ASSETS: Investments, at fair value $ 31,311,280 $ 38,426,105 Other assets: Participant contributions receivable 70,549 93,521 Employer contributions receivable 15,608 20,841 Interest receivable 7,656 7,366 Cash 14,055 49,574 ------------- ------------- Total assets 31,419,148 38,597,407 LIABILITIES--Refundable participant contributions 24,059 131,076 ------------- ------------- NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR PLAN BENEFITS $ 31,395,089 $ 38,466,331 ============= ============= See notes to financial statements. 6 THE ANGELICA CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN STATEMENTS OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR PLAN BENEFITS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 ADDITIONS: Participant contributions $ 2,393,750 $ 2,499,916 Employer contributions 532,238 598,873 Participant rollover contributions 1,279 77,555 Net appreciation in fair value of investments - 1,201,796 Interest and dividend income 125,352 169,246 Other additions 7,253 - ------------- ------------- Total additions 3,059,872 4,547,386 ------------- ------------- DEDUCTIONS: Participant withdrawals 9,526,051 4,176,094 Net depreciation in fair value of investments 605,063 - Other deductions - 11,920 ------------- ------------- Total deductions 10,131,114 4,188,014 ------------- ------------- NET (DECREASE) INCREASE IN NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS (7,071,242) 359,372 NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR PLAN BENEFITS-- Beginning of year 38,466,331 38,106,959 ------------- ------------- NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR PLAN BENEFITS-- End of year $ 31,395,089 $ 38,466,331 ============= ============= See notes to financial statements. 7 THE ANGELICA CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN The following description of The Angelica Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. More complete information regarding the Plan's provisions may be found in the plan documents. GENERAL--The Plan, as amended and restated, was adopted by the Board of Directors of Angelica Corporation (the "Company") to provide participants an opportunity to defer portions of their earnings so as to provide supplementary retirement income and a measure of economic security. The Company is the Plan Administrator and the assets of the Plan are held in trust by UMB Bank (the "Trustee"). ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS--The participating employers in the Plan are the Company and its subsidiaries. All full-time employees who are residents of the United States and who have either (i) completed six months of service with the Company and are age 21 or older or (ii) completed two years of service, are eligible to participate in the Plan, except for certain classifications of employees who are excluded from plan eligibility (as defined by the Plan). CONTRIBUTIONS--Eligible employees may contribute up to 12% of their annual compensation to the Plan through payroll deferrals. For each plan year beginning on and after January 1, 2000, the Company provides a matching contribution in an amount equal to 30% of the deferred amount up to, but not exceeding a deferred amount equal to 6% of annual compensation. PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS--Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and an allocation of the Company's contribution and Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account. VESTING--The salary deferral and Company matching contributions of each participant's account and earnings thereon are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times. BENEFITS--Participants are entitled to receive the balance of their accounts upon death, total disability, retirement or termination of employment, or upon request after reaching age 59-1/2. Participants who have suffered a hardship (as defined by the Internal Revenue Service and the Plan) may also withdraw all or any portion of their account balances. Benefits are recorded upon distribution. LOAN PROVISION--The Plan allows participants to borrow from their accounts, subject to certain limitations. Loans bear interest at the prime rate plus 1/2% at the time the loan was made. All loans are secured by the participant's account and are repayable in installments by payroll deductions. INVESTMENT PROGRAMS--Upon enrollment or re-enrollment, each participant shall direct that his or her contributions be invested in one or more of the investment options below in any increment amount as long as their total increments equal 100%. Such direction may be revised by participants on a monthly basis. The investment programs of the Plan are as follows: Company Stock Fund--This fund is invested in Angelica Corporation Common Stock. 8 Mutual Fund--Each participant may choose to invest in the American Balanced Fund, the EuroPacific Growth Fund, the Federated Max Cap Fund, the Fidelity Aggressive Growth Fund, the Managers Special Equity Fund and/or the Washington Mutual Investors Fund. Corporate Bond Fund--This fund is invested in the Fidelity Advisor Strategic Income Fund. Interest Income Fund--This fund is invested in group annuity contracts with the Federated Capital Preservation Fund. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING--The financial statements of the Plan are maintained on an accrual basis. The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, as determined by the Trustee, based on publicly stated price information. The average cost method is used to determine the cost of securities sold. Investments in group annuity contracts are stated at contract value, which approximates fair value. ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES--Costs of administering the Plan are generally borne by the Company and are not charged to the Plan. USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions to and deductions from net assets available for plan benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Plan invests in various securities that, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and small market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities it is reasonably possible that change in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for plan benefits. RECLASSIFICATIONS--Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior year amounts to the current year presentation. 3. INVESTMENTS The Trustee of the Plan holds the Plan's investments and executes transactions therein. The fair values of individual assets that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, are as follows: 2002 2001 American Balanced Fund $ 2,159,668 $ 2,209,344 Washington Mutual Investors Fund 7,871,116 11,859,923 Federated Capital Preservation Fund 17,165,822 19,098,035 9 During 2002 and 2001, the Plan's investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in value as follows: 2002 2001 Mutual funds $ (1,369,255) $ 1,028,204 Common stock 764,192 173,592 ------------- ------------ $ (605,063) $ 1,201,796 ============= ============ 4. INCOME TAX STATUS The Company has received a determination letter dated June 17, 2002, from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the Plan qualifies under the Internal Revenue Code; as such, the Plan is exempt from federal income tax, and amounts contributed by the Company and its employees are not taxable to the participants until distributions from the Plan are made. 5. TERMINATION OF THE PLAN The Company reserves the right to terminate its participation in the Plan, although it has not expressed any intent to do so. 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Money market shares are held by UMB Bank. UMB Bank is the trustee of the Plan assets, therefore, transactions involving these funds qualify as party-in-interest. Because of its affiliation with the Plan, transactions involving the Angelica Corporation Stock fund qualifies as party-in-interest. 7.
