|   |  | The Company uses derivative financial instruments principally to manage
the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the amount of its
future interest payments. Interest rate swap contracts are used to
adjust the proportion of total debt that is subject to variable and fixed
interest rates. The interest rate swap contracts are reflected at fair
value in the consolidated condensed balance sheet and the related gains
or losses on these contracts are deferred in stockholders equity (as a
component of other comprehensive income). Amounts to be paid or received
under the contracts are accrued as interest rates change and are
recognized over the life of the contracts as an adjustment to interest
expense. The net effect of this accounting is that interest expense on
the portion of variable rate debt being hedged is generally recorded
based on fixed interest rates.

| |  | The Company may periodically hedge firm cash flow commitments with its
foreign subsidiary, generally with foreign currency contracts. These
agreements are recorded at current market values and the gains and losses
are included in earnings. Gains and losses on such transactions were not
significant in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. Notional amounts
outstanding under foreign currency contracts at December 28, 2002 were
$2,402, all of which will mature during fiscal 2003. No amounts were
outstanding under such contracts at December 29, 2001. The fair values
of the foreign currency contracts were not materially different as of
December 28, 2002.

| |  | Basic earnings per common share was computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per common share was computed similar to
the computation of basic earnings per share, except that the denominator
is increased for the assumed exercise of dilutive options and other
dilutive securities, including nonvested restricted stock, using the
treasury stock method.

| |  | In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143). SFAS 143 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement
of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.
SFAS 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred
if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Company adopted
SFAS 143 effective June 30, 2002. The impact of adopting SFAS 143 was
not material.

| |  | In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
(SFAS 144). SFAS 144 establishes a single accounting model, based on the
framework established in SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of (SFAS
121), for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS 144 also
resolves several significant implementation issues related to SFAS 121,
such as eliminating the requirement to allocate goodwill to long-lived
assets to be tested for impairment and establishing criteria to define
whether a long-lived asset is held for sale. The Company adopted SFAS
144 effective June 30, 2002. The impact of adopting SFAS 144 was not
material.

|   |  | No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity. SFAS 146 requires that a
liability be recognized for costs associated with an exit or disposal
activity only when the liability is incurred. SFAS 146 also establishes
fair value as the objective for initial measurement of liabilities
related to exit or disposal activities. SFAS 146 is effective for exit
or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The
Company will apply the provisions of SFAS 146 for all exit or disposal

|   |  | In December 2002, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and
Disclosure (SFAS 148). SFAS 148 amends SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods
of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS 148 also amends
the disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the
method used to account for stock-based employee compensation and the
effect of the method used on reported results. The Company will continue
to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 as the method used to
account for stock-based compensation, where applicable, but will adopt
the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148 beginning with the third quarter
ending March 29, 2003.

|   |  | During the current fiscal year, the Company has made several small
acquisitions, including the acquisition of Rental Uniform Company at the
beginning of the current quarter. All acquisitions were accounted for
using the purchase method. The total purchase consideration, including
related acquisition costs of these transactions, was approximately
$60,713 for the three months ended December 28, 2002 and $71,186 for the
six months ended December 28, 2002. The total purchase price exceeded
the estimated fair values of assets acquired by approximately $34,522 for
the three months ended December 28, 2002 and $42,226 for the six months
ended December 28, 2002.

|   |  | The pro forma effects of these acquisitions, had they been acquired at
the beginning of the fiscal year, were not material to the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
(Unaudited)

Overview

G&K Services, Inc., founded in 1902 and headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota,
is a market leader in providing corporate identity apparel and facility
services programs to a wide variety of North American industrial, service and
high-technology companies. We rent uniforms and other related products such as
floor mats, dust mops, wiping towels, restroom supplies and selected linen
items. We also sell uniforms and other apparel items to customers in our
direct sale programs. The North American rental market is approximately $6.3
billion, while the direct sales market, targeted by us, is approximately
$4.5-$5.0 billion in size.

During the current fiscal year, we have made several small acquisitions,
including the acquisition of Rental Uniform Company at the beginning of the
current quarter. All acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase
method. The pro forma effects of these acquisitions, had they been acquired at
the beginning of the fiscal year, were not material. The total purchase
consideration, including related acquisition costs of these transactions, was
approximately $60.7 million for the three months ended December 28, 2002 and
$71.2 million for the six months ended December 28, 2002. The total purchase
price exceeded the estimated fair values of assets acquired by approximately
$34.5 million for the three months ended December 28, 2002 and $42.2 million
for the six months ended December 28, 2002.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion of the financial condition and results of operations are based
upon the consolidated condensed financial statements, which have been prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. As such, management is required to make certain estimates, judgments
and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable based on the information
available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amount of
assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results
may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of
significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially
different results under different assumptions and conditions. See Note 1 to
the consolidated condensed financial statements for additional discussion of
the application of these and other accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We recognize revenue from rental operations in the period in which the services
are provided. Direct sale revenue is recognized in the period in which the
product is shipped. Estimates are used in determining the collectability of
billed accounts receivable. Management analyzes specific accounts receivable
and historical bad debt experience, customer credit worthiness, current
economic trends and the age of outstanding balances when evaluating the
adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Significant management
judgments and estimates are used in connection with establishing the allowance
in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and
timing of bad debt expense recognition for any given period if management makes
different judgments or utilizes different estimates.

Inventories

Our inventories consist of new goods and rental merchandise in service.
Estimates are used in determining the likelihood that new goods on hand can be
sold to customers or used in rental operations. Historical inventory usage and
current revenue trends are considered in estimating both obsolete and excess
inventories. New goods are stated at lower of cost or market, net of any
reserve for obsolete or excess inventory. Merchandise placed in service to
support rental operations is amortized into cost of rental operations over the
estimated useful lives of the underlying inventory items, primarily on a
straight-line basis. Estimated lives of rental merchandise in service range
from nine months to three years. In establishing estimated lives for
merchandise in service, management considers

manufacturer expectations, historical experience and the intended use of the
merchandise. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of
operating profit for any period if management makes different judgments or
utilizes different estimates.

Goodwill, Intangibles and Other Long-Lived Assets

We adopted SFAS 142 at the beginning of fiscal 2002 and as a result no longer
amortize goodwill. SFAS 142 also requires that companies test goodwill for
impairment on an annual basis and when events occur or circumstances change
that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit to
which goodwill is assigned below its carrying amount. There have been no
impairments of goodwill in fiscal 2003 or 2002. Our evaluation considers
changes in the operating environment, competitive information, market trends,
operating performance and cash flow modeling. Future events could cause
management to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that goodwill and
other intangibles associated with acquired businesses are impaired. Any
resulting impairment loss could have a material impact on our financial
condition and results of operations.

Property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets are
depreciated or amortized over their useful lives. Useful lives are based on
management estimates of the period that the assets will generate revenue.
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events and
circumstances indicate an asset may be impaired. There have been no
write-downs of any long-lived assets in fiscal 2003 or 2002.

Insurance

We self-insure for certain obligations related to health and workers
compensation programs. We purchase stop-loss insurance policies to protect us
from catastrophic losses. Estimates are used in determining the potential
value associated with reported claims and for losses that have occurred, but
have not been reported. Management estimates consider historical claims
experience, escalating medical cost trends, expected timing of claim payments
and actuarial analysis provided by a third party. Changes in the cost of
medical care, our ability to settle claims or the estimates and judgment used
by management could have a material impact on the amount and timing of expense
for any period.

Three months ended December 28, 2002 compared to three months ended December 29, 2001

Revenues.Total revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 increased 6.7%
to $166.1 million from $155.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2002.
Rental revenue increased $8.4 million in the second quarter, or 5.6%. If the
net impact of acquisitions and changes in foreign currency exchange rates is
removed, the internal growth rate of the industrial rental business was
approximately (3.0)%.

Direct sale revenue increased 33.6% to $8.0 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2003 compared to $6.0 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. Direct
sale revenue is up due to the success of our annual winter outerwear promotion.

Cost of Rental and Direct Sale.Cost of rental operations increased 6.0% to
$92.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 from $87.2 million in the
same period of fiscal 2002. Gross margin from rental sales decreased to 41.5%
in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 from 41.7% in the second quarter of fiscal
2002. The decrease in rental gross margin is due to higher costs for energy,
acquisition integration and plant consolidation, partially offset by improved
operational productivity.

Cost of direct sales increased 28.4% to $5.4 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2003 from $4.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. Gross margin
from direct sales increased to 32.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 from
29.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002. The increase in gross margin is
due to leveraging fixed costs over the higher sales volume.

Selling and Administrative.Selling and administrative expenses increased 6.9%
to $38.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 from $36.3 million in the
same period of fiscal 2002. As a percentage of total revenues, selling and
administrative expenses increased to 23.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2003
from 23.3% in the same period of fiscal 2002.

Depreciation and Amortization.Depreciation and amortization expense increased
7.0% to $9.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 from $8.8 million in
the same period of fiscal 2002. As a percentage of total revenues,
depreciation and amortization expense was 5.7% in the second quarter of both
fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2002. Capital expenditures, excluding acquisition of
businesses, were $9.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to
$8.1 million in the prior years quarter.

Interest Expense.Interest expense was $3.5 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 2003, up from $3.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. The
increase in interest expense is due primarily to higher debt levels in
conjunction with our acquisition activities, partially offset by lower
effective interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes.Our effective tax rate decreased to 39.0% in the
second quarter of fiscal 2003 from 39.5% in the same period of fiscal 2002 due
largely to decreases in Canadian statutory income tax rates.

Six months ended December 28, 2002 compared to six months ended December 29, 2001

Revenues.Total revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2003 increased
3.1% to $322.3 million from $312.8 million for the same period of fiscal 2002.
Rental revenue increased $8.5 million in the first six months or 2.8%. If the
net impact of acquisitions and changes in foreign currency exchange rates is
removed, the internal growth rate of the industrial rental business was
approximately (4.0)%.

Direct sale revenue increased 9.1% to $12.4 million in the first six months of
fiscal 2003 compared to $11.3 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. Direct
sale revenue is up due to the success of our annual winter outerwear promotion
in the second quarter, partially offset by the continued postponement of
customer direct sale orders.

Cost of Rental and Direct Sale.Cost of rental operations increased 2.4% to
$180.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2003 from $176.1 million in
the same period of fiscal 2002. Gross margin from rental sales increased to
41.8% in the first six months of fiscal 2003 from 41.6% in the same period of
fiscal 2002. Improved operational productivity and lower merchandise expense,
partially offset by higher costs of energy, acquisition integration and plant
consolidation, contributed to the improved rental gross margin.

Cost of direct sales increased 10.5% to $8.9 million in the six months of
fiscal 2003 from $8.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. Gross margin
from direct sales decreased to 27.8% in the first six months of fiscal 2003
from 28.7% in the same period of fiscal 2002. The decrease in gross margin is
due primarily to large initial stocking orders in the first quarter of fiscal
2002 and the continued postponement of customer direct sale orders in the
current year, partially offset by the successful winter outerwear promotion.

Selling and Administrative.Selling and administrative expenses increased 3.6%
to $75.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2003 from $72.9 million in
the same period of fiscal 2002. As a percentage of total revenues, selling and
administrative expenses increased to 23.4% in the first six months of fiscal
2003 from 23.3% in the same period of fiscal 2002.

Depreciation and Amortization.Depreciation and amortization expense increased
5.0% to $18.5 million in the first six months of fiscal 2003 from $17.6 million
in the same period of fiscal 2002. As a percentage of total revenues,
depreciation and amortization expense increased to 5.7% in the first six months
of fiscal 2003 from 5.6% in the same period of fiscal 2002. Capital
expenditures, excluding acquisition of businesses, were $18.1 million in the
first six months of fiscal 2003 compared to $13.7 million in the same period of
fiscal 2002.

Interest Expense.Interest expense was $6.8 million in the first six months of
fiscal 2003, down from $7.1 million in the same period of fiscal 2002. The
decrease in interest expense is due primarily to lower effective interest
rates, partially offset by higher debt levels in conjunction with our
acquisition activities.

Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate decreased to 39.0% in the
first six months of fiscal 2003 from 39.5% in the same period of fiscal 2002
due largely to decreases in Canadian statutory income tax rates.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition

Our primary sources of cash are net cash flows from operations and borrowings
under the term loan and revolving credit facilities. Primary uses of this cash
are interest payments on indebtedness, capital expenditures, acquisition of
business assets and general corporate purposes.

Operating Activities.Net cash provided by operating activities was $47.4
million in the first six months of fiscal 2003 and $42.3 million in the same
period of fiscal 2002.

Working capital at December 28, 2002 was $98.5 million, up 2.8% from $95.8
million at June 29, 2002. The increase was largely due to acquisitions during
the current year, partially offset by an increase in current maturities of
long-term debt associated with debt amortization.

Investing Activities.Net cash used in investing activities was $89.9 million
in the first six months of fiscal 2003 and $47.4 million in the same period of
fiscal 2002. In both fiscal years 2003 and 2002, cash was largely used for
acquisition of business assets and property, plant and equipment additions.

Financing Activities.Cash provided by financing activities was $50.0 million
in the first six months of fiscal 2003 and $6.3 million in the same period of
fiscal 2002. Cash provided in both fiscal years 2003 and 2002 was used
primarily in acquisitions of businesses. We paid dividends of $0.7 million
during the first six months of fiscal 2003.

Cash Obligations.Under various agreements, we are obligated to make future
cash payments in fixed amounts. These include payments under the variable rate
term loan and revolving credit facility, the fixed rate term loan, capital
lease obligations and rent payments required under
non-cancelable operating
leases with initial or remaining terms in excess of one year.

The following table summarizes our fixed cash obligations as of December 28,
2002 for the fiscal years ending June (in thousands):

Also, at December 28, 2002, we had stand-by letters of credit totaling $10.9
million that have been issued and are outstanding, primarily in connection with
our property and casualty insurance programs. No amounts have been drawn upon
these letters of credit.

At December 28, 2002, we had available cash on hand of $17.6 million and
approximately $91.2 million of available capacity under our revolving credit
facility. We anticipate that we will generate sufficient cash flows from
operations to satisfy our cash commitments and capital requirements for fiscal
2003; however, we may utilize borrowings under the revolving credit facility to
supplement our cash requirements from time to time. We estimate that capital
expenditures in fiscal 2003 will be approximately $30.0 million to $35.0
million.

##### Table of Contents



The amount of cash flow generated from operations is subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties. In fiscal 2003, we may actively seek and consider
acquisitions of business assets, the consummation of any acquisition could
affect our liquidity profile and level of outstanding debt. We believe that
available capacity under our revolving credit facility will be adequate to
finance any such acquisitions and planned capital expenditures in fiscal 2003.

Impact of Inflation

In general, management believes that our results of operations are not
dependent on moderate changes in the inflation rate. Historically, we have been
able to manage the impacts of more significant changes in inflation rates
through our customer relationships, and continued focus on improvements of
operational productivity. Customer agreements generally provide for price
increases consistent with the rate of inflation or 5.0%, whichever is greater.

Litigation

We are involved in a variety of legal actions relating to personal injury,
customer contracts, employment, trade practices, environmental and other legal
matters that arise in the normal course of business. These legal actions
include lawsuits that challenge the practice of charging for certain
environmental services on invoices, and being named, along with other
defendants, as a potentially responsible party at certain waste disposal sites
where ground water contamination has been detected or is suspected. While we
are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these legal actions, it is the
opinion of management that the disposition of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143). SFAS 143 addresses
financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement
costs. SFAS 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a
reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. We adopted SFAS 143 effective
June 30, 2002. The impact of adopting SFAS 143 was not material.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144).
SFAS 144 establishes a single accounting model, based on the framework
established in SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of (SFAS 121), for long-lived
assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS 144 also resolves several significant
implementation issues related to SFAS 121, such as eliminating the requirement
to allocate goodwill to long-lived assets to be tested for impairment and
establishing criteria to define whether a long-lived asset is held for sale.
We adopted SFAS 144 effective June 30, 2002. The impact of adopting SFAS 144
was not material.

In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 146,
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146).
SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with
exit or disposal activities. It nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No.
94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and
Other Costs to Exit an Activity. SFAS 146 requires that a liability be
recognized for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity only when the
liability is incurred. SFAS 146 also establishes fair value as the objective
for initial measurement of liabilities related to exit or disposal activities.
SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002. We will apply the provisions of SFAS 146 for all exit or
disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and Disclosure (SFAS
148). SFAS 148 amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. SFAS 148 also amends the disclosures in both annual and interim
financial statements about the method used to account for stock-based employee
compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. We will
continue to apply Accounting Principles Board

Opinion No. 25 as the method used to account for stock-based compensation,
where applicable, but will adopt the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148
beginning with the third quarter ending March 29, 2003.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the Act) provides
companies with a safe harbor when making forward-looking statements as a way
of encouraging them to furnish their shareholders with information regarding
expected trends in their operating results, anticipated business developments
and other prospective information. Statements made in this report concerning
our intentions, expectations or predictions about future results or events are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act. These statements
reflect our current expectations or beliefs, and are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to vary from stated
expectations, which could be material and adverse. Given that circumstances
may change, and new risks to the business may emerge from time to time, having
the potential to negatively impact our business in ways we could not anticipate
at the time of making a forward-looking statement, you are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these statements, and we undertake no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.

Some of the factors that could cause actual results or events to vary from
stated expectations include, but are not limited to, the following: unforeseen
operating risks; the effects of overall economic conditions; fluctuations in
costs of insurance and energy; acquisition integration costs; the performance
of acquired businesses; preservation of positive labor relationships;
competition, including pricing, within the corporate identity apparel and
facility services industry; and the availability of capital to finance planned
growth. Additional information concerning potential factors that could effect
future financial results is included in the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended June 29, 2002.




ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates.
We use financial instruments, including fixed and variable rate debt, as well
as interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. Interest rate swap
agreements are entered into for periods consistent with related underlying
exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures.
Assuming the current level of borrowings, a 100 basis point increase in
interest rates under these borrowings would have increased our interest expense
for the second quarter of fiscal 2003 by approximately $0.4 million. This
estimated exposure considers the mitigating effects of interest rate swap
agreements outstanding at December 28, 2002 on the change in the cost of
variable rate debt.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We have a significant foreign subsidiary located in Canada. The assets and
liabilities of this subsidiary are denominated in the Canadian dollar and as
such are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the
balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using the average
exchange rates throughout the period. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations
on translation of assets and liabilities are recorded as a component of
stockholders equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are
included in results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we performed an evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days of filing this quarterly
report (the Evaluation Date). After evaluating the effectiveness of
disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, along with other key management, have determined that
disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that
material information relating to G&K Services and its consolidated subsidiaries
would be made known to them on a timely basis. There were no significant
changes in internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect
these controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date.
