NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF ENDED
JULY 31, 2004 AND JULY 26, 2003
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
------------------------------
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are
unaudited, and these consolidated statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2004 (fiscal
2003). It is Management's opinion that all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement
of the results during the interim periods have been included. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated. The results of operations and cash flows for the second
quarter and first half ended July 31, 2004 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that will be achieved for the full year.
Certain amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform
to current period presentation.
Note 2. Stock-Based Compensation
---------------------------------
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure." SFAS No. 148
amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to
provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to
the fair-value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both
annual and interim financial statements about the method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of
the method used on reported results.
The Company has various stock option and stock bonus plans that
provide for the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified
stock options, restricted stock and performance awards to certain
employees and directors. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company
applies APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees," in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation
expense has been recognized for its stock-based compensation plans
other than for restricted stock and performance-based awards, as to
which the amounts charged to expense in the second quarter ended July
31, 2004 and July 26, 2003 totaled $227,000 and $145,000,
respectively; and $370,000 and $274,000 in the first half ended July
31, 2004 and July 26, 2003, respectively. During the first half ended
July 31, 2004, 62,000 shares of restricted stock were granted with a
weighted-average share price of $22.18.
Had compensation expense for stock-based compensation plans for the
second quarter and first half ended July 31, 2004 and July 26, 2003
been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net
income and earnings per share would approximate the following pro
forma amounts:

The effect of the application of SFAS No. 123 in this disclosure is
not necessarily indicative of the pro forma effect on net income in
future periods.
Note 3. Restructuring Activities
---------------------------------
As of January 31, 2004, there was $410,000 of reserve remaining from
the original restructuring charge recorded in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2001 related primarily to the closing of certain retail stores
in the Life Uniform segment. During the second quarter and first half
ended July 31, 2004, the amount of the reserve utilized for lease
termination costs paid was $139,000 and $222,000, respectively. In
addition, the Company reversed in discontinued operations in the
second quarter of fiscal 2004 $75,000 of the original restructuring
charge due to favorable termination of a store lease that was settled
during the second quarter. The reserve balance of $113,000 remaining
as of July 31, 2004 is expected to be utilized in the second half of
fiscal 2004 for termination costs of the remaining store leases.
Note 4. Non-Operating Income
-----------------------------
In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company recorded
non-operating income of $2,100,000 which included a gain of
$1,472,000 from the sale of real estate of the former Miami plant
which closed in January 2000. In addition, the Company recognized
gains totaling $610,000 for the excess of death benefits from
Company-owned life insurance policies surrendered over the cash value
of the policies. In the second quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company
recorded non-operating income of $1,848,000 from a cash distribution
received in connection with the liquidation of an insurance carrier
of the Company.
Non-operating income, net, also includes interest earned on invested
cash balances.
6
Note 5. Income Taxes
---------------------
Taxes on income from continuing operations of 19.3 percent and 24.2
percent in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2004,
respectively, reflect the Company's estimated effective tax rate for
the year less an adjustment to reduce the income tax provision due to
the expected favorable resolution of outstanding tax issues. The
effective tax rate of 34.0 percent on the loss from discontinued
operations in fiscal 2004 reflects the statutory tax rate adjusted
for unutilized State net operating losses.
Note 6. Discontinued Operations
--------------------------------
In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company decided to exit and
discontinue its Life Uniform retail business segment and, in
conjunction with this decision, it recorded an estimated pretax loss
on disposal of the segment of $4,642,000. This amount represented a
write down of the net assets of the segment to their estimated fair
values, less estimated costs directly incurred in connection with a
proposed sale.
The Company completed the sale of Life Uniform to Healthcare Uniform
Company, Inc., an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, effective July
31, 2004. The total sales price amounted to $16,240,000, principally
cash of $12,152,000 and an unsecured, long-term note receivable from
Healthcare Uniform Company with a face value of $4,074,000, plus the
assumption of $5,732,000 of liabilities. The note receivable was
discounted to its estimated fair value of 75 percent of face value,
reflecting the note's illiquidity and its subordinated status in the
capital structure of Healthcare Uniform Company. Net assets of the
segment totaling $19,336,000 were sold, including 196 retail uniform
and shoe stores, catalogue and e-commerce operations and associated
inventory, as well as working capital of 17 other stores that were
not acquired. These 17 stores were immediately closed by the Company.
In the second quarter ended July 31, 2004, the Company recorded a
gain on disposal of discontinued segment of $84,000 pretax to adjust
the estimated loss recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 to a
loss of $4,558,000 pretax for the first half ended July 31, 2004.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the financial position, cash flows,
results of operations and loss on disposal of the Life Uniform
segment are segregated and reported as discontinued operations for
all periods presented in this report. As of January 31, 2004, total
assets of Life Uniform held for sale were $24,498,000, consisting
mainly of inventories of $11,491,000 and net property and equipment
of $9,237,000, and total liabilities held for sale were $7,783,000,
of which $6,021,000 was for accounts payable.
Results of operations of the Life Uniform segment for the second
quarter and first half ended July 31, 2004 and July 26, 2003 were as
follows (dollars in thousands):

Second Quarter First Half
--------------------- ----------------------
2004 2003 2004 2003

Income tax benefit 673 269 327 230
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loss from operations $(1,307) $ (598) $ (635) $ (515)
===============================================================================================
The loss from operations in the second quarter and first
half of fiscal 2004 includes $1,606,000 of estimated lease
termination costs related to the stores closed by the Company as well
as $138,000 of employee termination expenses.
Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
--------------------------------------
Prior to the sale of Life Uniform, the Company was a guarantor under
certain Life Uniform store lease agreements. These guarantees
obligated the Company to make all payments due under the leases until
their expiration in the event of default of Life Uniform. In
connection with the sale of Life Uniform, the Company requested
consents, as required, from landlords to assign the store leases to
Healthcare Uniform Company. As a condition to such consents, certain
landlords required that the Company continue as a guarantor of the
leases. Under the Company's agreement with Healthcare Uniform
Company, these guarantees will only extend until the end of each
lease's current term. The Company currently estimates it is
secondarily obligated as a guarantor for 103 store lease agreements
and the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could
be required to make under these guarantees is $18,100,000. Although
these guarantees expire at various dates through fiscal year 2014,
approximately 70 percent of the estimated maximum potential future
payments expires by the end of fiscal year 2007.
The Company has provided certain indemnities to the buyer in
connection with the sale of Life Uniform. Although indemnification
claims are generally subject to an aggregate limit of $6,000,000, the
Company believes the likelihood of making any payments for
indemnification claims is remote and has reserved accordingly.
Note 8. Earnings Per Share
---------------------------
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of Common and Common equivalent
shares outstanding.
The following table reconciles weighted average shares outstanding to
amounts used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for
the second quarter and first half ended July 31, 2004 and July 26,
2003 (shares in thousands):

Note 9. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
---------------------------------------------
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
the Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test at the end
of the third quarter. There were no material changes in the carrying
value of goodwill during the first half of fiscal 2004.
During the first half ended July 31, 2004, the Company acquired customer
contracts of businesses valued at $430,000, with amortization periods
of five to 10 years, and non-compete covenants with a value of
$38,000 to be amortized over five years. Other acquired assets
consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

Aggregate amortization expense for the second quarter ended July 31,
2004 and July 26, 2003 amounted to $229,000 and $131,000, respectively;
and $454,000 and $256,000 for the first half ended July 31, 2004 and
July 26, 2003, respectively. Other acquired assets are scheduled to
be fully amortized by fiscal year 2014 with corresponding annual
amortization expense estimated for each of the next five fiscal years
as follows (dollars in thousands):
2004 $867
2005 812
2006 759
2007 678
2008 430
Note 10. Long-Term Debt
------------------------
On March 8, 2004, the Company amended the terms of its long-term
credit facility. Under the terms of the amendment, the maximum amount
which may be borrowed under the credit facility was increased from
$70,000,000 to $100,000,000, and the maturity date of the credit
facility was extended by one year to May 30, 2007 with two optional
one-year extensions. In addition, certain financial covenants
contained in the credit agreement were amended, including the minimum
net worth requirement. This covenant requires that the Company
maintain a minimum consolidated net worth equal to 85 percent of the
Company's consolidated net worth as of January 31, 2004, plus an
aggregate amount equal to 50 percent of quarterly net income
beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2004 (with no reduction
for net losses except as permitted for the sale of the discontinued
Life Uniform segment). As of July 31, 2004, the Company was in
compliance with this and all other financial covenants contained in
the credit facility.
Note 11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
-------------------------------------------------------
The Company entered into an interest-rate swap agreement with one of
its lenders effective September 9, 2002. The swap agreement fixes the
variable portion of the interest rate (excluding a margin) at 3.58
percent on $10,000,000 of the outstanding debt under the revolving
line of credit until termination on May 30, 2007. The Company has
elected to apply cash flow hedge accounting for the interest-rate
swap agreement in accordance with SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Accordingly, the
derivative is recorded as an asset or liability at its fair value.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative,
as measured quarterly, is reported in accumulated other comprehensive
income, and the ineffective portion, if any, is reported in net
income of the current period. The gain on the derivative included in
accumulated other comprehensive loss in the first half ended July 31,
2004 amounted to $125,000, net of tax. The Company has recorded a
long-term liability of $62,000 and $254,000 for the fair value of the
derivative as of July 31, 2004 and January 31, 2004, respectively.
To moderate price risk due to market fluctuations, the Company has
entered into fixed-price contracts as of July 31, 2004 for
approximately 25 percent of its estimated natural gas purchase
requirements in the next 12 months. Although these contracts are
considered derivative instruments, they meet the normal purchases
exclusion contained in SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 138 and
SFAS No. 149, and are therefore exempted from the related accounting
requirements.
10
Note 12. Comprehensive Income
------------------------------
Comprehensive income, consisting primarily of net income and changes
in the fair value of derivatives used for interest rate risk
management, net of taxes, totaled $1,554,000 and $2,990,000 for the
second quarter ended July 31, 2004 and July 26, 2003, respectively;
and $1,771,000 and $5,287,000 for the first half ended July 31, 2004
and July 26, 2003, respectively.
Note 13. Retirement Benefits

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF ENDED JULY 31, 2004
COMPARED WITH
SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF ENDED JULY 26, 2003
Analysis of Operations
----------------------
During the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company announced its
decision to exit and discontinue its Life Uniform retail business
segment and actively market the segment for sale. As a result, the
segment's financial position, cash flows and results of operations are
shown as discontinued operations for all periods presented in this
report. The Company completed the sale of Life Uniform to Healthcare
Uniform Company, Inc., an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc., at
the end of the second quarter. The Company's continuing operations
reflect the results of its remaining Textile Services healthcare
laundry and linen management business.
Textile service revenues increased 9.7 percent in the second quarter
and 9.3 percent in the first half of fiscal 2004 compared with the same
periods a year ago. Organic growth from net new business additions and
new laundry facilities built within the last 12 months contributed 3.1
percent of the second quarter increase, with the other 6.6 percent
coming from recent acquisitions of plants in Florida and North Carolina
partially offset by the sale of non-healthcare accounts in Daytona
Beach, Florida in the second quarter of fiscal 2004. For the first half
of fiscal 2004, net acquisitions accounted for 6.5 percent of the
revenue increase over the prior year. New business installed during the
first six months of fiscal 2004, net of cancellations of existing
business, represented $11,222,000 in annualized revenue compared with a
breakeven level in last year's first half.
Gross profit margin declined to 16.1 percent and 15.9 percent in the
second quarter and first half of fiscal 2004, respectively, from 19.5
percent and 19.3 percent in the second quarter and first half of fiscal
2003, respectively. These declines are due primarily to moderately
higher linen prices, higher wage rates, increased utility costs
(especially natural gas prices), and production inefficiencies during
the start-up of new plants. Selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased 2.3 percent in the second quarter and 0.3 percent in
the first half of fiscal 2004 compared with the same periods last year.
These expenses also declined as a percent of revenues to 13.0 percent
for both the second quarter and first half this year from 14.6 percent
and 14.3 percent in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2003,
respectively. The reduction in corporate overhead due to the downsizing
of the corporate office more than offset increases in operating
expenses due to the new plants and professional fees incurred in
connection with union organizing efforts currently targeted against the
Company.
Operating income from continuing operations increased 8.1 percent in
the second quarter this year compared with second quarter fiscal 2003
due to the increased revenue and other operating income of $1,335,000
from the gain on the sale of the Daytona Beach non-
12
healthcare accounts, offset to some extent by the increased production
costs noted above and $424,000 of costs associated with the closing of
the Daytona Beach facility. Second quarter fiscal 2004 operating income
also benefited from a gain of $347,000 on the settlement of a property
insurance claim. Operating income for the first half of fiscal 2004
decreased 21.7 percent from the same period a year ago, due mainly to
unfavorable variances in linen costs ($1,287,000), direct labor
($809,000) and utilities ($1,743,000) more than offsetting the favorable
impact of the revenue increase.
Second quarter fiscal 2004 net income from continuing operations
decreased 22.6 percent from the comparable quarter of a year ago.
However, fiscal 2003 second quarter earnings included pretax
non-operating income of $1,848,000 ($.14 per diluted share net of tax)
from a cash distribution received in connection with the liquidation of
an insurance carrier of the Company. In the first half of fiscal 2004,
net income from continuing operations was 9.3 percent lower than the
first half of fiscal 2003 as reduced operating income and higher
interest expense more than offset a reduction in income tax expense due
to the expected favorable resolution of outstanding tax issues.
Non-operating income in this year's first half is comparable to the
first half of fiscal 2003 due to gains recorded in the first quarter of
fiscal 2004 of $1,472,000 from the sale of vacant property in Miami,
Florida and $610,000 from death benefits on Company-owned life
insurance policies.
Discontinued Operations
-----------------------
In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company recorded an estimated
loss on disposal of the discontinued Life Uniform segment of $4,642,000
pretax. The loss consisted of a $3,917,000 write down of net assets of
the segment, primarily inventories, leasehold improvements and accounts
payable, to their estimated fair values and $725,000 of estimated costs
directly related to the proposed sale. The Company completed the sale
of Life Uniform in the second quarter of fiscal 2004 and adjusted the
estimated first-quarter loss to a pretax loss of $4,558,000. An
increase in proceeds from the sale of working capital in stores not
acquired was generally offset by a reduction in the value of the note
receivable taken by the Company as part of the consideration for the
sale. Although the Company believes the discounted note is fairly
valued, this security is not readily marketable and is subordinate to
other outstanding debt of the issuer. Ultimately, the value of the note
is dependent upon the success of Healthcare Uniform Company.
As provided in the sale agreement, an adjustment to the sale proceeds
will be made not later than 90 days after the July 31, 2004 closing
date based upon a final determination of working capital transferred as
of the closing date. Although the Company has included an estimate of
the working capital adjustment in the loss on disposal, the actual
adjustment may differ materially from this estimate, which could result
in the recognition of additional losses.
The loss from operations of the discontinued segment in the second
quarter of fiscal 2004 includes $1,606,000 of estimated lease
termination costs related to stores closed by the Company. The Company
is actively negotiating the termination of these leases and has
resolved many of them. The Company may be unable to settle all of the
remaining leases for the amounts reserved resulting in recognition of
additional losses. In addition, $138,000 of employee termination
expenses were recorded in discontinued operations in the second quarter
this year, including a curtailment loss from the defined-benefit
pension plan of
13
$38,000. Additional losses could result from the settlement of the
pension liabilities.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
----------------------------------------------------
As of July 31, 2004, working capital of continuing operations totaled
$42,822,000 compared with $39,012,000 at January 31, 2004, and the
current ratio was unchanged at 1.9 to 1. Accounts receivable days
outstanding of 42 at July 31, 2004 was unchanged from the end of fiscal
2003. The first half fiscal 2004 increase in net property and equipment
of $9,587,000 reflects primarily the acquisition of the Duke University
Health System Laundry in Durham, NC in April 2004. The increase in
other accrued liabilities of $5,117,000 in the first half this year
reflects mainly a holdback of a portion of the Duke acquisition
purchase price and reserves for estimated lease termination costs for
Life Uniform stores closed by the Company.
Cash flow from investing activities in the first half ended July 31,
2004 includes the proceeds of $2,414,000 from the sale of the Daytona
Beach non-healthcare accounts and death benefits on Company-owned life
insurance policies received in the second quarter totaling $1,188,000.
Capital expenditures were $6,631,000 lower in the first half this year
compared with last year's first half level, which included costs
associated with the Phoenix, AZ and Columbia, SC plants then under
construction.
As of July 31, 2004, the assets and liabilities of the discontinued
Life Uniform segment were written off against the cash proceeds and
long-term note receivable from the sale of the business. Since the sale
of Life Uniform was closed effective on the last day of the second
quarter, the Company was not able to utilize the cash proceeds of
$12,152,000 to pay down its long-term debt until the beginning of the
third quarter of fiscal 2004.
As previously announced during the first quarter this year, the Company
amended the terms of its credit facility to increase the maximum
borrowing capacity by $30,000,000 to $100,000,000. Under the terms of
the amended loan agreement, there was $50,752,000 of borrowing capacity
available as of July 31, 2004. The Company's ratio of total debt to
total capitalization as of July 31, 2004 was 12.2 percent, up from 11.8
percent as of January 31, 2004, but lower than 15.5 percent as of May
1, 2004. As of July 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all
financial covenants contained in its credit facility.
Management believes that the Company's financial condition, operating
cash flow and available sources of external funds are sufficient to
satisfy the Company's requirements for debt service, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, dividends and working capital over the
course of the next 12 months.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to commodity price risk related to the use of
natural gas in its laundry plants. The total cost of natural gas in the
second quarter and first half ended July 31, 2004 was $3,157,000 and
$6,677,000, respectively. To reduce the uncertainty of fluctuating
energy prices, the Company has entered into fixed-price contracts as of
July 31, 2004 for approximately 25 percent of its estimated natural gas
purchase requirements in the next 12 months. A hypothetical 10 percent
increase in the cost of natural gas not covered by these contracts
would result in a reduction of approximately $1,002,000 in annual
pretax earnings.
The Company is also exposed to commodity price risk resulting from the
consumption of gasoline and diesel fuel for delivery trucks. The total
cost of truck fuel in the second quarter and first half ended July 31,
2004 was $1,199,000 and $2,373,000, respectively. A hypothetical 10
percent increase in the cost of delivery fuel would result in a
decrease of approximately $475,000 in annual pretax earnings.
The Company's exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to its
variable-rate revolving debt agreement entered into in the second
quarter of fiscal 2002. As of July 31, 2004, there was $20,400,000 of
outstanding debt under the credit facility, of which $10,000,000 bears
interest at a fixed rate of 3.58 percent (plus a margin) under an
interest-rate swap agreement entered into by the Company with one of
its lenders to moderate the exposure. Amounts borrowed under the credit
facility in excess of the $10,000,000 covered by the interest-rate swap
agreement bear interest at a rate equal to either (i) LIBOR plus a
margin, or (ii) a Base Rate, defined as the higher of (a) the Federal
Funds Rate plus .50 percent or (b) the Prime Rate. The margin is based
on the Company's ratio of "Funded Debt" to "EBITDA," as each is defined
in the Loan Agreement. As of July 31, 2004, the margin was 1.125
percent. A hypothetical increase of 100 basis points in short-term
interest rates applicable to the outstanding debt not covered by the
interest-rate swap agreement would result in a reduction of
approximately $104,000 in annual pretax earnings.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains a system of internal controls and procedures
designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the
unaudited consolidated financial statements and other disclosures
included in this report. The Company's Board of Directors, operating
through its Audit Committee which is composed entirely of independent
Directors, provides oversight to the financial reporting process.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon
their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
are effective in ensuring that material information relating to the
Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to them
by others within those entities in a timely manner, particularly during
the period for which this quarterly report is being prepared. The Chief
Executive Officer and Chief
16
Financial Officer also concluded based upon their evaluation that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring
that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the
reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
forms.
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the
date of this most recent evaluation, nor were any corrective actions
required with regard to significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses.
