NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED MAY 28, 1994
1. These condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
such rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the
information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion
of management, necessary to a fair statement of results for the interim
period. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes, thereto,
included in the Company's latest annual report.
2. From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and
claims arising from the conduct of their business operations, including
personal injury, customer contract, employment claims and environmental
matters. In the opinion of management, such proceedings and claims are
not likely to result in losses which would have a material adverse effect
upon the Company.
3. During 1993 the Company's shareholders voted to amend its Articles of
Organization to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock
from 20,000,000 to 30,000,000, and to authorize a new Class B Common Stock
with 20,000,000 authorized shares. The Company offered to exchange, on a
share-for-share basis, shares of Class B Common Stock for shares of Common
Stock.
4. On November 18, 1993 the Company's Board of Directors declared a two-for-
one stock split, be effected in the form of a stock dividend, on the
Company's Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The stock dividend was
paid on January 19, 1994 to shareholders of record on January 5, 1994.
All references to average number of shares outstanding, per share data and
Shareholders' Equity section in these financial statements are after
giving retroactive effect to the two-for-one split.
5. On November 1, 1993 the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Modern Coverall and Uniform Supply, Inc., a garment rental business
located in Los Angeles, CA.
6. On February 28, 1994 the Company acquired the assets of Clean Services,
Inc., a garment rental business located in Enid, OK.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
FOR THE THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED MAY 28, 1994
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - ---------------------
Thirty-nine Weeks of Fiscal 1994 compared to Thirty-nine Weeks of Fiscal 1993
- - -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fiscal 1994 revenues for the thirty-nine weeks increased $21,724,000 or
10.1% over the thirty-nine weeks in fiscal 1993. This increase can be
attributed to acquisitions (1.0%) and internal growth and modest price
increases (9.1%). Income from operations as a percentage of revenue decreased
to 10.4% in fiscal 1994 from 10.6% for the fiscal 1993 period. The decrease
is primarily attributable to unfavorable comparative contribution results from
the nuclear business.
Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was
$1,820,000 in fiscal 1994 as compared to $2,118,000 in fiscal 1993. The
decrease is primarily attributable to lower average outstanding indebtedness in
fiscal 1994.
The provision for income taxes for the current period was 37.0% as
compared to 35.0% for the corresponding 1993 period. The increase is due
primarily to an increase in the statutory federal income tax rate affecting
fiscal 1994.
Thirteen Weeks ended May 28, 1994 compared to Thirteen Weeks ended May 29, 1993
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fiscal 1994 third quarter revenues increased $8,868,000 or 11.9% over
the fiscal 1993 third quarter. This increase can be attributed to acquisitions
(1.6%) and internal growth and modest price increases (10.3%). Income from
operations as a percentage of revenue decreased to 9.9% in fiscal 1994 from
11.4% for the fiscal 1993 period. The primary reason for the decrease is a
reduced period-to-period contribution from the nuclear business.
Net interest expense was $650,000 in fiscal 1994, comparable to
$608,000 in fiscal 1993.
The provision for income taxes for the current period was 37.0% as
compared to 35.0% for the corresponding 1993 period. The increase is due
primarily to an increase in the statutory federal income tax rate affecting
fiscal 1994.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(continued)
FOR THE THIRTY-NINE WEEKS ENDED MAY 28, 1994
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
- - -------------------------------
The Company believes that its ability to generate cash from operations will
adequately cover its foreseeable capital requirements.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
- - --------------------
Inflation has had the effect of increasing the reported amounts of the
Company's revenues and costs. The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO)
method to value a significant portion of inventories. This method tends to
reduce the amount of income due to inflation included in the Company's results
of operations. The Company believes that, through increases in its prices, it
has been able to recover increases in costs and expenses attributable to
inflation.
