         ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         On February 9, 1999, SpinCycle, Inc. ("SpinCycle") entered into a
second amendment of its credit agreement with Heller, Inc., as agent and lender,
and FINOVA Capital Corporation, as lender. The parties originally entered into
the $40 million credit facility (the "Heller Facility") concurrently with the
closing of SpinCycle's sale of high yield notes and warrants on April 29, 1998.
This amendment is effective as of December 27, 1998, the end of SpinCycle's 1998
fiscal year.

         The Heller Facility is a revolving credit facility which entitles
SpinCycle to draw on it for working capital, capital expenditures and general
corporate purposes, subject to availability. Availability under the facility is
determined pursuant to a borrowing base formula based upon income from
SpinCycle's store operations and net book value of SpinCycle's laundry equipment
and is subject to certain other conditions. The terms of the loan imposed
several limits on SpinCycle's ability to borrow under the facility which were
eliminated by the amendment effective December 27, 1998. The amendment
eliminated SpinCycle's obligations to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio, a
minimum mature store EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, depreciation and
amortization) covenant and a mature store ratio provision within the minimum
unused availability covenant. The fixed charge coverage covenant would have been
effective if SpinCycle had borrowings under the facility and a total of unused
availability of less than $15 million. The minimum mature store EBITDA covenant
required specified average store performance in order to borrow under the
facility. The mature store ratio provision within the minimum unused
availability covenant required SpinCycle to maintain minimum unused availability
of $7.5 million until the later of March 22, 1999 or until 55% of SpinCycle's
stores were mature, that is, had been operating as laundromats for at least one
year.

         The amendment simplified the formula for calculating borrowing
availability under the facility. In lieu of the provisions described above, the
minimum unused availability covenant now requires SpinCycle to maintain unused
availability of $10 million. SpinCycle's borrowing capacity under the facility
is therefore calculated simply as borrowing base less $10 million. At February
14, 1999, SpinCycle had a borrowing base of approximately $19.3 million.
SpinCycle therefore had approximately $9.3 million available for borrowing
compared to the $4.3 million which would have been available if the fixed charge
coverage ratio had been in effect.

         At December 27, 1998 SpinCycle had no outstanding borrowings under the
Heller Facility. At February 14, 1999, SpinCycle had borrowed approximately $3.7
million.
