                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          Three month period ended September 27, 1997 and September 28, 1996
                                     (Unaudited)

         The consolidated financial statements included herein, except for the
    June 28, 1997, balance sheet which was extracted from the audited financial
    statements of June 28, 1997, have been prepared by the Company, without
    audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
    Commission. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
    consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
    only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
    position as of September 27, 1997, and June 28, 1997, and the results of
    operations and the changes in financial position for the three months ended
    September 27, 1997 and September 28, 1996.  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, although the
    Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the
    information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these
    consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
    statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual
    report.

         The results of operations for the three month period ended September
    27, 1997, and September 28, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the
    results to be expected for the full year.



1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to
    the Company's Annual Consolidated Financial Statements.

    NATURE OF BUSINESS
         G&K Services, Inc. (the Company) is a full service uniform rental
    provider, including the rental of cleanroom garments.  The Company also
    provides rental of non-uniform items such as floormats, dustmops and
    cloths, wiping towels and selected linen items.  In addition, the Company
    manufactures uniforms for rental customers as well as uniforms for direct
    sale.

    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
    accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly
    owned.  Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
    eliminated in consolidation.

    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
         Derivative financial instruments are used by the Company in the
    management of its interest rate exposure.  Amounts to be paid or received
    under interest rate swap agreements are accrued as interest rates change
    and are recognized over the life of the


                                                                               5

    swap agreements as an adjustment to interest expense.  The related amounts
    payable to, or receivable from, the counter-parties are included in other
    accrued expenses.  The fair value of the swap agreements is not recognized
    in the Consolidated Financial Statements, since they are accounted for as
    hedges.

    PER SHARE DATA
         Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
    of both Class A and B common stock outstanding during each year.  The
    effect of common stock equivalents was not significant.

    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
         Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 128, "Earnings per
    Share" (Statement No. 128), issued in February 1997 and effective for
    interim periods ending after December 15, 1997, establishes and simplifies
    standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS).
    Implementation of Statement No. 128 is not expected to have a material
    impact on the Company's computation or presentation of EPS.

         Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 130, "Reporting
    Comprehensive Income" (Statement No. 130), issued in June 1997 and
    effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, requires the
    Company to report and display comprehensive income and its components.
    Comprehensive income is defined as changes in equity of a business
    enterprise during a period except those resulting from investments by
    owners and distributions to owners.

2.  ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN NATIONAL LINEN SERVICE ASSETS

         On July 14, 1997 the Company purchased the uniform rental assets and
    selected  linen rental assets of National Linen Service for approximately
    $280 million in cash, subject to certain post-closing purchase price
    adjustments.

         The Company's acquisition of rental operations was accounted for by
    using the purchase method.  The purchase price was allocated to the
    acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on the preliminary
    determination of the fair values of the assets purchased and the
    liabilities assumed.  The purchase price and related acquisition costs
    exceeded the preliminary fair values assigned to tangible assets by
    approximately $153.2 million, which excess may be amortized for the
    restrictive covenant over the contract life of five years,  for the
    purchased customer lists over eleven years and for goodwill over
    thirty-five years.  The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to
    change as the final purchase price changes and when additional valuation
    information is obtained.

         In connection with the asset purchase from National Linen, it is G&K's
    intent to hold for sale nine linen rental facilities.  As such, the net
    cash flows from (a) operations of these facilities from the date of
    acquisition until the date of sale (holding period, not to exceed one
    year), (b) interest on incremental debt incurred during the holding period
    to finance the purchase of these facilities, and (c) proceeds from the sale
    will be considered in the allocation of the purchase price to the assets
    and liabilities.  Accordingly, earnings or losses from these nine
    facilities are excluded from the earnings reported for the Company.  For
    the period ended September 27, 1997, earnings excluded from the Company's
    Statement of Income totaled $447,000, including allocated interest expense
    of $976,000.

         The following unaudited pro forma condensed results of operations for
    the periods ended September 27, 1997 and September 28, 1996 have been
    prepared as if the transaction occurred on June 29, 1997 and June 30, 1996,
    respectively,

3.  DEBT

         G&K Services funded the acquisition of certain National Linen Service
    assets through a new $425 million credit facility which replaced its
    existing revolving credit facility.  The new credit facility included (a) a
    $300 million term loan with maturity for years subsequent to June 28, 1997
    of $10,000,000, $15,000,000, $35,000,000, $55,000,000, $60,000,000, and
    $125,000,000 thereafter, with final maturity on June 30, 2004, and (b) a
    $125 million revolving credit facility expiring on June 30, 2002.  As of
    September 27, 1997, borrowings outstanding under the term loan were $300
    million and under the revolving credit facility were $49,083,000.  The
    unused portion of the revolver may be used for working capital and to
    provide up to $10,000,000 in letters of credit.

         Borrowings under the term loan and revolving credit facility bear
    interest at 0.5% to 1.125% over the rate offered to major banks in the
    London Interbank Eurodollar market ("Eurodollar Rate"), based on a leverage
    ratio calculated on a quarterly basis.  Advances through December 31, 1997
    will bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.125%.  The Company also
    pays a fee of 0.15% to 0.35% on the unused daily balance of the revolver
    based on a leverage ratio calculated on a quarterly basis.  The fee through
    December 31, 1997 will be 0.35%.

         As of September 27, 1997, the Company had entered into interest rate
    swap agreements with certain lenders providing bank financing.  The Company
    entered into an agreement for the notional principal amount of $100 million
    through September 12, 2000 that effectively fixed the interest rate on
    floating rate debt at a rate of 6.24%.  The Company also entered into an
    agreement for the notional principal amount of $50 million through
    September 12, 1999 that effectively fixed the interest rate on floating
    rate debt at a rate of 6.065%, unless the Eurodollar Rate increases by more
    than 25 basis points within any one quarter, in which the Company retains
    the risk in any increase in rates over 25 basis points.

         The new credit facility contains various restrictive covenants which
    among other matters, require the Company to maintain a minimum EBITDA,
    minimum debt service coverage ratio, minimum stockholder equity and maximum
    leverage ratio, all as defined.  The credit agreement also limits
    additional indebtedness, investments, capital expenditures and cash
    dividends.  The Company's obligations under the credit facility are
    collateralized by an interest in the Company's personal property, 100% of
    the stock of G&K Services, Co. and domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the
    stock of the Company's Canadian subsidiaries.


                                                                               7

    Total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 rose 42.2% to $118.4
million from $83.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  Revenue
attributable to the acquisition of certain assets of National Linen Service
(NLS) was $25.5 million.  Excluding this increase and restating prior year
Canadian revenues to exclude the Toronto Linen operations which were sold in
fiscal 1997, the revenue growth was 12.7%.  Rental revenue growth accounted for
$35.5 million, or a 44.3%  increase.  U.S. and Canadian annual rental revenues
increased 13.8% and 12.9%, respectively (excluding revenues from assets acquired
from NLS and revenues from Toronto Linen).  The improvement is primarily
attributable to increased new account sales, expansion of existing accounts,
strong retention rates and new market entries.

    Cost of rental operations increased 51.9% to $66.1 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 from $43.5 million in the same period of fiscal 1997.  As
a percentage of rental revenues, these costs increased to 57.2% for the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to 54.3% for the same period in fiscal 1997.
The Company attributes the increase primarily to merchandise costs at the new
locations acquired in the NLS transaction.

    Total direct sales to outside customers decreased 11.2% to $2.9 million for
the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from $3.3 million in the same period of fiscal
1997 primarily as a result of shifting garment manufacturing capacity from sales
to external customers to internal use by the


                                                                               8

Company for rental customers.  The Company anticipates this trend to continue
through the fiscal year.  Cost of direct sales, as a percentage of direct sales,
increased to 79.0% compared to 78.3% last year.

    Selling and administrative expenses increased 28.3% to $24.9 million in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 from $19.4 million in the same period in fiscal
1997.  As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses
decreased to 21.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from 23.3% in the same
period in fiscal 1997.  The decline as a percent of sales is due to several
factors, including lower selling expenses in the newly acquired NLS locations,
and further leveraging of corporate costs from the NLS transaction and growth in
G&K's existing business.

    Depreciation expense increased 27.5% to $5.9 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 1998 from $4.6 million in the same period of fiscal 1997.  As a
percentage of consolidated revenue, depreciation expense decreased to 4.9% from
5.5% for the same period in 1997.  This decrease is caused by timing of
anticipated current year capital expenditures, maturing of startup operations
and depreciation on acquired NLS assets based on fair market valuations.
Capital expenditures for the quarter, excluding acquisition of businesses, was
$8,446 compared to $9,079 in the prior year's quarter.

    Amortization expense increased 339.3% to $2.9 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 1998 from $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  This
increase is attributable to the acquisition of NLS assets.

    Operating income increased 32.6% to $16.8 million in the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 from $12.7 million in the same period of fiscal 1997.  Operating
margins decreased to 14.2% in fiscal 1998 from 15.2% in fiscal 1997.  U.S.
operating margins declined to 12.7% in fiscal 1998 from 14.6% in fiscal 1997.

    Net income rose 7.1% to $7.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1998,
or $.36 per share, from $7.0 million, or $.34 per share, in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997.  Net income margins decreased to 6.3% for the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 compared with 8.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  Interest
expense was $4.8 million, up from $1.7 million in the prior year, as a result of
additional  borrowings to finance the acquisition of selected assets from
National Linen Service.  The Company's effective tax rate increased to 39.3% in
fiscal 1998 from 39.0% in fiscal 1997, largely driven by additional profits and
higher corporate tax rates in Canada.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

    Cash flow from operating activities was $15.0 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 1998 and $10.2 million in the same period of fiscal 1997.  The fiscal
1998 increase resulted from increases in net income, accounts payable and other
current liabilities, and depreciation and amortization when compared to the
first quarter of 1997.  Working capital at September 27, 1997 was $74.7 million,
up 82.9% from $40.9 million at September 28, 1996.  The increase reflects the
acquisition of NLS assets.

    Cash provided by financing activities was $269.5 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1998 and  cash used for financing activities was $4.4 million
in the same period of fiscal 1997.  $355.8 million of cash was obtained by
issuing debt primarily for the acquisition of selected assets of


                                                                               9

NLS.   The Company's ratio of debt to total capitalization increased from 31.9 %
at June 28, 1997 to 66.7 % at the end of September 1997.

    Cash used in investing activities was $288.1 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 1998 and $11.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  The
increase is primarily due to the acquisition of the NLS assets.

    The Company utilizes software and related technologies throughout its 
businesses that will be affected by the date change in the year 2000.  An 
internal study is currently under way to determine the full scope and related 
costs to insure that the Company's systems continue to meet its internal 
needs and those of its customers.  The Company has begun to incur expenses in 
fiscal 1998 to resolve this issue.  These expenses may be significant and 
continue through the year 1999.  Maintenance or modification costs will be 
expensed as incurred, while the costs of new software will be capitalized and 
amortized over the software's useful life.

    In connection with G&K's acquisition of selected assets of NLS in July
1997, the Company entered into a new $425 million credit facility to fund the
purchase price of the assets and refinance existing indebtedness.  The unused
portion of the revolver may be used for working capital and to provide letters
of credit.  The new credit facility contains various restrictive covenants
which, among other matters, require the Company to maintain a minimum EBITDA,
minimum debt service coverage ratio, minimum stockholder equity and maximum
leverage ratio, all as defined.  The agreement also limits additional
indebtedness, investments, capital expenditures and cash dividends.  G&K's
obligations under the credit facility are secured by an interest in the
Company's personal property, 100% of the stock of G&K Services, Inc. and
domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of Canadian subsidiaries.

    Stockholders' equity grew 4.2% to $176 million at September 27, 1997,
compared with $169 million at the end of  the first quarter of 1997.  G&K's
return on average equity decreased to 4.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 1998
compared with  4.8%  for the same period of fiscal 1997.

    Management believes that cash flows generated from operations and its
credit facilities should provide adequate funding for its current businesses and
planned expansion of operations or any future acquisitions.
