NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FIRST QUARTER ENDED APRIL 26, 2003
AND APRIL 27, 2002


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 25, 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 first quarter ended
April 26, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
will be achieved for the full year.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------------------

Certain amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to
conform to current period presentation.

The Company considers short-term, highly-liquid investments which are
readily convertible into cash, as cash equivalents.

The Company has various stock option and stock bonus plans that
provide for the granting to certain employees and directors of
incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted
stock and performance awards. As permitted by SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," 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. Total restricted stock
and performance-based awards issued in the first quarter ended April
26, 2003 and April 27, 2002 amounted to $605,000 and $38,000,
respectively. The amounts included in net income (loss) as reported
in the first quarter ended April 26, 2003 and April 27, 2002 totaled
$77,000 and $44,000, respectively, for restricted stock and
performance-based awards.

Had compensation expense for stock-based compensation plans for the
first quarter ended April 26, 2003 and April 27, 2002 been determined
consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income (loss) and
earnings (loss) per share would approximate the following pro forma
amounts (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Diluted earnings (loss) per share:

Pro forma 0.25 (0.26)


The effects of the application of SFAS No. 123 in this disclosure are
not necessarily indicative of the pro forma effect on net income in
future periods.

Other significant accounting policies of the Company are as described
in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 25,
2003.

Note 3. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
- ------------------------------------

Comprehensive income (loss), consisting of net income (loss) and
changes in the fair value of derivatives used for interest rate risk
management, net of taxes, totaled $2,297,000 and $(2,154,000) for the
quarters ended April 26, 2003 and April 27, 2002, respectively.

Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
- ---------------------------------------------

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets." Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no
longer amortized effective with the Company's adoption date of
January 27, 2002. Instead, goodwill will be tested for impairment as
of the date of adoption of SFAS No. 142 and at least annually
thereafter using a fair-value based analysis.

In fiscal 2003, the Company performed its initial and annual
impairment tests of goodwill, both of which resulted in no impairment
of goodwill. As of April 26, 2003, the carrying amounts of goodwill
allocated to the Textile Services and Life Uniform segments were
$3,465,000 and $791,000, respectively, which was unchanged from the
carrying values as of January 25, 2003.

During the first quarter ended April 26, 2003, there were no material
acquisitions or dispositions of other acquired assets. Other acquired
assets consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

2004 $707
2005 548
2006 424
2007 353
2008 159
2009 4

Note 5. Discontinued Operations
- --------------------------------

In January 2002, the Company announced plans to dispose of its
Manufacturing and Marketing business. Consequently, the Manufacturing
and Marketing segment was accounted for as a discontinued operation
as of January 26, 2002, and a loss on disposal was recorded to write
down the net assets of the segment to their estimated net realizable
value, including estimates of the costs of disposal and transition.
The differences between these estimates as of April 27, 2002 and
January 26, 2002 resulted in the recording of an additional loss on
disposal of $4,447,000 net of tax in the first quarter of fiscal
2003. In fiscal 2003, the sale and discontinuation of the
Manufacturing and Marketing segment was completed and substantially
all of the net assets of the segment, primarily accounts receivable
and inventory, were disposed of. During the first quarter of fiscal
2004, most of the remaining net current assets of the discontinued
segment were disposed of for amounts approximating the carrying
values.

Note 6. Restructuring Activities
- ---------------------------------

In fiscal 2003, the Company closed 25 of the 27 Life Uniform stores
included in the plan of restructuring adopted in fiscal 2002. In the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, Management decided not to close the
remaining two stores and, consequently, reversed $269,000 of the
restructuring charge related to these two stores. As of January 25,
2003, the balance in the restructuring reserve totaled $1,263,000. In
the first quarter of fiscal 2004, a total of $100,000 was charged to
the restructuring reserve, including $91,000 for lease termination
costs paid. In addition, the Company reversed $130,000 of the
original restructuring charge due to favorable terminations of the
store leases that have been



7




settled to date. As of April 26, 2003, there was $1,033,000 remaining
in the restructuring reserve that is expected to be utilized for
lease termination costs in fiscal 2004.

Note 7. Business Segment Information
-------------------------------------

Historically, the Company has operated principally in three industry
segments: Textile Services, Manufacturing and Marketing and Life
Uniform. Manufacturing and Marketing has been treated as a
discontinued operation for all periods presented due to the
discontinuation of this segment in January 2002. Textile Services
provides textile rental, laundry and linen management services
primarily to healthcare institutions. Life Uniform operates a
nationwide chain of specialty uniform and shoe stores, together with
a fully-integrated catalogue and e-commerce operation, selling to
healthcare professionals. All of the Company's services of its
continuing business segments are provided in the United States.
Summary data about each of the Company's continuing business segments
for the first quarter ended April 26, 2003 and April 27, 2002 appears
below (dollars in thousands):

Note 8. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
- ----------------------------------

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is
computed by dividing net income (loss) 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 (loss) per share
for the first quarter ended April 26, 2003 and April 27, 2002 (shares

=============== ================


Note 9. 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 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. In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company recorded a
loss on the derivative of $43,000 net of tax in accumulated other
comprehensive (loss) income. As of April 26, 2003, the Company has
recorded a long-term liability of $328,000 for the fair value of the
derivative.

To minimize price risk due to market fluctuations, the Company has
entered into fixed-price contracts for approximately 42 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 are therefore exempted
from the related accounting requirements.

Note 10. New Accounting Pronouncements
- ---------------------------------------

The following new accounting pronouncements were adopted by the
Company in the first quarter ended April 26, 2003:

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 establishes accounting
standards for recognition and measurement of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation and the associated asset retirement cost.
Adoption of this statement did not have, and is not expected to have,
a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and
Technical Corrections." Among other things, this statement rescinds
the extraordinary treatment applied to gains and losses from
extinguishment of debt pursuant to SFAS No. 4. During the second
quarter of fiscal 2003, the Company incurred a pretax loss on early
extinguishment of debt of $6,783,000



9




that was treated as an extraordinary item under SFAS No. 4. In
accordance with SFAS No. 145, the loss will not be treated as an
extraordinary item, and accordingly, results for the second quarter
of fiscal 2003 will be restated to reflect this change in accounting
treatment.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure." SFAS No. 148
amends SFAS No. 123 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. See Note 2 for the
Company's disclosure required by SFAS No. 148.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FIRST QUARTER ENDED APRIL 26, 2003 COMPARED WITH
FIRST QUARTER ENDED APRIL 27, 2002


Analysis of Operations
----------------------

First quarter fiscal 2004 combined sales and revenues of $93,039,000
were 0.2 percent lower than the first quarter last year, as a revenue
increase in the Textile Services segment was negated by a sales decline
at Life Uniform. Operating earnings decreased in both continuing
business segments, but the total decrease was more than offset by
significantly lower interest expense and a lower effective income tax
rate. As a result, income from continuing operations increased 2.0
percent over the comparable prior year period. As discussed in Note 5,
first quarter fiscal 2003 results included an additional loss on
disposal of the discontinued Manufacturing and Marketing segment.
Including this loss, first quarter results last year were a net loss of
$2,154,000 or $.25 per basic and diluted share compared with net income
of $2,340,000 this year, or $.27 per share ($.26 diluted).

Textile Services
----------------

Textile Services revenues increased 4.4 percent in the first quarter
this year on the strength of increases in net new business throughout
fiscal 2003 and in the first quarter this year. Operating earnings of
this segment fell to 7.7 percent of revenues from 8.6 percent a year
ago. Earnings suffered from higher workers' compensation and employee
healthcare costs, which were planned for, as well as an unexpected
increase of $345,000 in delivery fuel expense, especially in the State
of California. The unfavorable expense comparison in workers'
compensation costs, which approximated $500,000 in the first quarter
and will have a similar effect in the second quarter, is expected to be
offset by a large favorable expense comparison in this year's fourth
quarter due to a significant increase in the prior year. This year's
first quarter earnings benefited from a favorable settlement of
litigation of $216,000 which reduced bad debt expense.

Life Uniform
------------

Life Uniform experienced a 12.9 percent decrease in sales in the
quarter as the softening of demand that began in the fourth quarter
last year worsened in this year's first quarter. Same-store sales were
down 7.8 percent in the first quarter versus a 2.5 percent increase in
the comparable prior year period and a 1.9 percent increase in the
fourth quarter last year. Sales also declined due to having 21 fewer
stores in operation at the end of the first quarter this year compared
with last year, and the exiting of the low-margin hospitality line of
business last year as part of the segment's restructuring plan.
Catalogue and e-commerce sales increased 8.2 percent or $120,000. First
quarter operating earnings decreased 80.7 percent to $135,000,
primarily reflecting the lower sales volume, but were helped by the
closing of underperforming stores in fiscal 2003. Gross margin improved
to 53.9 percent from 51.4 percent a year ago due to lower discounting
and better inventory control. In April 2003, Life's management
implemented an expense reduction initiative that did not significantly
impact the first quarter, but is expected to benefit the segment's
operating results over the remainder of the year.



11




Operating Expenses and Other
----------------------------

Selling, general and administrative expenses were essentially unchanged
at 23.2 percent of combined sales and revenues in the first quarter. A
decrease in Life Uniform store operating expenses of $929,000 was
offset by $325,000 of higher depreciation and maintenance of Life's new
information systems and increased corporate expenses of $464,000 due in
part to the Company's search for a new Chief Executive Officer. The
reduction in interest expense of $1,392,000 reflects the lower debt
level and lower interest rates following the complete refinancing of
the Company's debt in the second quarter last year. Taxes on income
from continuing operations have been provided for at an effective tax
rate of 32.5 percent in the first quarter fiscal 2004 based upon the
Company's estimated effective tax rate for the year.

Restructuring Activities
------------------------

See Note 6 for a discussion of the Company's utilization of the
restructuring reserve in the first quarter of fiscal 2004. As of April
26, 2003, there was $1,033,000 of restructuring reserve remaining for
lease termination costs that are being negotiated for the remaining 10
Life Uniform stores closed in fiscal 2003. In the first quarter of
fiscal 2004, the Company reversed into income $130,000 of the original
restructuring charge recorded in fiscal 2002 based on favorable
terminations of the store leases that have been settled to date, as
well as an estimate of the reserve required to settle the remaining
store leases. It is Management's opinion that the remaining
restructuring reserve is adequate. However, there is a risk that
additional costs could result from the Company's inability to terminate
the leases of the remaining closed stores for the amounts reserved.
Conversely, any remaining restructuring reserve not needed for its
original intended purpose will be reversed into income in the period
such determination is made.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
----------------------------------------------------

In the first quarter this year, the Company used its cash balances to
further reduce long-term debt, principally consisting of the amount
outstanding under the line of credit, to 9.0 percent of total
capitalization from 13.0 percent at the beginning of the year. Cash
generated from operations was used to reduce accounts payable and for
higher incentive compensation payments related to fiscal 2003 financial
performance. Capital expenditures increased $2,363,000 over the same
period last year mainly as a result of construction of the Textile
Services plant in Phoenix, Arizona. Net cash provided by discontinued
operations reflects the proceeds from the liquidation of assets of the
Manufacturing and Marketing segment which was substantially completed
in fiscal 2003, net of the payment of certain sale-related liabilities.

As of April 26, 2003, the Company had working capital of $54,336,000
and a current ratio of 2.2 to 1 compared with working capital of
$61,297,000 and a current ratio of 2.2 to 1 as of January 25, 2003. As
of April 26, 2003, the Company was in compliance with all financial
covenants contained in its debt agreements.

Management believes that the Company's financial condition is such that
internal and external resources are sufficient and available to satisfy
the Company's present and future requirements for debt service, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, dividends and working capital.

Forward-Looking Statements
--------------------------

Any forward-looking statements made in this document reflect the
Company's current views with respect to future events and financial
performance and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that may cause actual
results to differ materially from those set forth in these statements.
These potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to, competitive and general economic conditions, the ability to retain
current customers and to add new customers in competitive market
environments, competitive pricing in the marketplace, delays in the
shipment of orders, availability of labor at appropriate rates,
availability and cost of energy and water supplies, the cost of
workers' compensation and healthcare benefits, the ability to attract
and retain key personnel, actual charges to the restructuring reserve
significantly different from estimated charges, unusual or unexpected
cash needs for operations or capital transactions, the effectiveness of
certain expense reduction initiatives, the ability to obtain financing
in required amounts and at appropriate rates, and other factors which
may be identified in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

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 laundry plants of the Textile Services segment. The
total cost of natural gas in the first quarter ended April 26, 2003 was
$2,739,000. To reduce the uncertainty of fluctuating energy prices, the
Company has entered into fixed-price contracts for approximately 42
percent of the segment's estimated natural gas purchase requirements in
the next 12 months. A hypothetical 10% increase in the cost of natural
gas not covered by these contracts would result in a reduction of
approximately $635,000 in annual pretax earnings.

The Company's exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to its
new variable-rate revolving debt agreement entered into in the second
quarter last year. As of April 26, 2003, there was $13,200,000 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 effective September 9, 2002. 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 $32,000 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
outside Directors, provides oversight to the financial reporting
process.

Within the 90-day period preceding the date of 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 the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. 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.

There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to
the date of this most recent evaluation, nor were any corrective
actions required with regard to significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses. It should be noted that any system of internal controls,
however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and
not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In
addition, the design of any internal control system is based in part
upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because
of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can
be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all future conditions, regardless of how remote.
