UNIFIRST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED NOVEMBER 26, 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, to 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 and per
share data in these financial statements reflect the effect of the
two-for-one split.
5. On November 1, 1994 the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Tennessee Uniform & Towel Service, Inc., a garment rental business located
in Nashville, TN.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
FOR THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED NOVEMBER 26, 1994
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Thirteen Weeks of Fiscal 1995 compared to Thirteen Weeks of Fiscal 1994
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fiscal 1995 first quarter revenues increased $8,105,000 or 10.4% over the
fiscal 1994 first quarter. This increase can be attributed to internal growth
and modest price increases (8.1%) and acquisitions (2.3%). Income from
operations as a percentage of revenue decreased to 10.8% in fiscal 1995 from
12.4% for the fiscal 1994 period. The primary reasons for the decrease are
softness in our specialized nuclear business and the continued impact of higher
garment costs.
Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $745,000 in
fiscal 1995 as compared to $566,000 in fiscal 1994. The increase is
attributable to increased debt levels and higher interest rates in fiscal 1995.
The provision for income taxes for the current period was 35.0% as compared to
37.0% for the corresponding 1994 period. The decrease in 1995 is due primarily
to the favorable impact of a corporate-owned life insurance program and
proportionally more tax-exempt income from Puerto Rico.
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.
