UNIFIRST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED NOVEMBER 25, 1995
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.

UNIFIRST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
FOR THE THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED NOVEMBER 25, 1995
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Thirteen Weeks of Fiscal 1996 compared to Thirteen Weeks of Fiscal 1995
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fiscal 1996 first quarter revenues increased $9,201,000 or 10.7% over the
fiscal 1995 first quarter. This increase can be attributed to acquisitions
(1.3%), price increases (1.0%) and growth from existing operations (8.4%).
Income from operations as a percentage of revenue increased to 11.7% in fiscal
1996 from 10.8% for the fiscal 1995 period. The main reason for the increase
is improved profit margins in our primary rental business. This resulted
primarily from restructuring in the sales and service departments. Also,
depreciation expense as a percent of revenues improved .4% compared to the
prior period.
Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) was $599,000 in
fiscal 1996 as compared to $745,000 in fiscal 1995. The decrease is
attributable to lower debt levels in fiscal 1996.
The provision for income taxes for the current period was 36.0% as compared to
35.0% for the corresponding 1995 period. The increase in 1996 is due primarily
to higher state income taxes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
During the thirteen weeks ended November 25, 1995 net cash provided by
operating activities, $9,762,000, and additional borrowings of $1,657,000 were
primarily used for capital expenditures, $6,293,000 and debt repayment,
$5,855,000.
Shareholders' equity as a percent of total capital has increased from 71.1% at
August 29, 1992 to 84.4% at November 25, 1995, indicating the improvement in
the overall strength of the Company's balance sheet.
The Company had $2,991,000 in cash and $33,550,000 available on its $50,000,000
line of credit as of November 25, 1995. The Company believes 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 and
productivity improvements, it has been able to recover increases in costs and
expenses attributable to inflation.
