          The consolidated financial statements included herein, except for
     the June 26, 1999 balance sheet which was extracted from the audited
     financial statements of June 26, 1999, have been prepared by G&K
     Services, Inc. (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 of the
     Company as of September 25, 1999, and the results of its operations and
     its cash flows for the three months ended September 25, 1999 and
     September 26, 1998. 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 periods ended
     September 25, 1999, and September 26, 1998, are not necessarily
     indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

     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 swap agreements as an adjustment
     to interest expense. The related amounts payable to, or receivable from,
     the counterparties 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
          Basic earnings per common share was computed by dividing net income
     by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
     during the year. 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.

     RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
          In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
     issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,
     "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The
     statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that
     every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments
     embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either
     an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The statement requires
     that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in
     earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special
     accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses
     to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement,
     and requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess
     the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. The
     FASB has delayed the effective date of this statement by one year with
     the issuance of SFAS No. 137. The standard is now effective for fiscal
     years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company is in the process of
     quantifying the impact of SFAS No. 133 on the consolidated financial
     statements.

3.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

          The Company has two operating segments under the guidelines of SFAS
     No. 131: United States and Canada. Each operating segment derives
     revenues from the uniform rental business which includes garment rental
     and nonuniform items such as floormats, dust mops and cloths, wiping
     towels and selected linen items. No one customer's transactions account
     for 10% or more of the Company's revenues.

          The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
     described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note
     1). Financial information by geographic location for the three month
     periods ended September 25, 1999 and September 26, 1998 is as follows:

</TABLE>


     Total revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 7.0% to
$135.0 million from $126.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
Comparable revenues, after adjusting for the acquired and divested
operations, were up 7.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

     Rental revenue growth for the first quarter accounted for $7.7 million,
or a 6.3% increase. U.S. rental revenues increased 5.4% over comparable
revenues for the prior year quarter and Canadian rental revenues in U.S.
dollars increased 14.1%. The growth in rental revenue, which is below
historical growth patterns, is up from fiscal year 1999 annual rental revenue
growth rates in the U.S. of 4.9% and in Canada, in U.S. dollars, of 3.9%. The
improvement in rental revenue growth rates were influenced by several factors
including the Company's focus on internal revenue growth, which includes
increased sales and administrative costs designed to support planned growth
and an improvement in the value of the Canadian dollar.

     Total direct sales to outside customers increased 33.7% to $4.4 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $3.3 million in the same
period of fiscal 1999. This increase was driven largely by the direct
sale/catalog group. Cost of direct sales, as a percentage of direct sales,
increased to 83.9% from 67.1% in the same period of fiscal 1999. Increased
expenses were related to the opening of an expanded fulfillment center and
the implementation of a new information system.

     Cost of rental operations increased 6.0% to $73.2 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 from $69.1 million in the same period of fiscal 1999.
As a percentage of rental revenues, these costs decreased to 56.1% for the


                                                                             8

first quarter of fiscal 2000 from 56.2% in the same period of fiscal 1999.
Improvements in production costs were largely offset by increases in delivery
and merchandise costs.

     Selling and administrative expenses increased 8.7% to $29.7 million in
the first quarter of fiscal 2000 from $27.3 million in the same period of
fiscal 1999. As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses
increased to 22.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 from 21.7% in the same
period of fiscal 1999. The increase as a percent of revenue is due to several
factors including increased sales and administrative costs designed to
support planned revenue growth.

     Depreciation expense increased 6.8% to $7.0 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 2000 from $6.6 million in the same period of fiscal 1999. As a
percentage of revenues, depreciation expense was 5.2% in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000, unchanged from the same period of fiscal 1999. The Company has
continued to invest in locations acquired in fiscal 1998 and construct new
locations. Capital expenditures, excluding acquisition of businesses, was
$13.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $12.5 million
in the prior year's quarter.

of fiscal 2000 from $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

     Income from operations increased 2.1% to $19.2 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 from $18.8 million in the same period of fiscal 1999.
Operating margins decreased to 14.2% in fiscal 2000 from 14.9% in fiscal
1999. U.S. operating margins decreased to 12.1% in fiscal 2000 from 13.3% in
the same period of fiscal 1999.

     Interest expense was $3.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2000,
down from $4.7 million in the same period of fiscal 1999. The Company's
effective tax rate increased to 39.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000
from 39.6% in the same period of fiscal 1999.

     Net income rose 10.3% to $9.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2000 from $8.7 million in the same period of fiscal 1999. Basic and diluted
earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 were $.47 per share,
compared to $.43 and $.42, respectively, for the prior year quarter. Net
income margins increased to 7.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000
compared with 6.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

     Cash flow from operating activities was $25.5 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000 and $25.6 million in the same period of fiscal 1999.
The fiscal 2000 increases from operations were largely offset by increases in
accounts receivable and decreases in accounts payable and other accrued
expenses. Working capital at September 25, 1999 was $59.6 million, down 18.6%
from $73.2 million at June 26, 1999. The decrease is primarily the result of
the use of cash and other working capital to acquire business assets and to
reduce long-term debt.

     Cash used in investing activities was $22.8 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 2000 and $12.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The
increase is primarily due to the acquisition of business assets in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000.

     Cash used for financing activities was $8.1 million in the first quarter
of fiscal 2000 and $7.4 million in the same period of fiscal 1999. The
long-term debt, including current maturity, decreased to $214.3 million at
September 25, 1999 from $222.3 million at June 26, 1999. The Company paid
dividends of $0.4 million during the quarter. The Company's ratio of debt to
total capitalization decreased to 46.7% at the end of the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 from 48.5% at June 26, 1999.

     Stockholders' equity grew 3.8% to $244.5 million at September 25, 1999,
compared with $235.6 million at the end of fiscal 1999. G&K's return on
average equity decreased to 4.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000
compared with 4.3% for the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

     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.

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

     The Company utilizes both information technology (IT) and non-IT systems
and assets throughout its U.S. and Canadian operations that will be affected
by the date change in the year 2000. The Company began an extensive review of
its business in January 1998 to determine whether or not its IT and non-IT
systems and assets were Year 2000 ready, as well as the remedial action and
related costs associated with required modifications or replacements. The
Company's goal is to ensure current business operations will continue to
function accurately with minimal disruption through the year-end change. The
Company has continued discussions with its significant suppliers to determine
the readiness of those suppliers to correct Year 2000 issues where their
systems and products interface with the Company's systems or otherwise impact
its operations. The Company has assessed the extent to which its operations
are vulnerable and has created contingency plans should those suppliers not
succeed to properly prepare their systems. The Company believes these actions
with key suppliers should minimize the risks. The scope of the Year 2000
readiness effort included (i) information technology such as software and
hardware, (ii) non-information systems or embedded technology such as micro
controllers contained in various equipment, safety systems, facilities and
utilities and (iii) readiness of key third-party suppliers. The Company has
committed resources and leveraged previous investments in existing
technologies in an effort to achieve these objectives.

     The Company has a documented process through which all IT and non-IT
systems and assets have been reviewed with reference to Year 2000 date
issues. This methodology takes each system and asset through the following
lifecycle:
     -  Awareness - Educate employees about Year 2000 issues.
     -  Assessment - Conduct an inventory and impact analysis of the business,
        operations and systems. Identify priorities and plan.
     -  Analysis - Analyze the asset(s) to determine the tasks, resources and
        duration required to ensure compliance.
     -  Contingency planning - Identify alternative solutions to maintain
        operational and financial results.
     -  Conversion - Renovation plan is finalized, approved and implemented.
     -  Testing - Approved validation plans are implemented and testing occurs.
     -  Rollout - Implementation plan is approved, and tested compliance
        solution is fully implemented into production.

     The Company's key systems and assets are as follows:
     -  Financial systems software - SAP financial systems were implemented and
        operational as of June 28, 1998. The Company has completed Year 2000
        testing and believes the financial systems are Year 2000 ready.
     -  Revenue recognition system - Renovation, testing and rollout of this
        internally developed system are complete.
     -  Other IT software, hardware and communications - 98% of our systems
        have been evaluated as Year 2000 ready; the remaining system awaits
        final rollout of updated software or hardware and is scheduled for
        completion by November 15, 1999.
     -  Non-IT plant and related equipment - All production equipment has been
        verified for Year 2000 readiness.
     -  Business processes and procedures - All process flows were analyzed for
        risk with appropriate contingency plans created. Ongoing monitoring
        throughout the remainder of the calendar year will occur to ensure that
        contingency plans are implemented as appropriate on a timely basis.
     -  Third parties - The Company's supply chain was assessed to ensure that
        all significant vendors will have the ability to meet the Company's
        needs. No disclosures of non-compliant suppliers have been discovered.
        All appropriate contingency plans are in place.
     -  The Company has acquired two additional businesses that are currently
        being evaluated and tested for Year 2000 readiness. This evaluation and
        any remediation is scheduled to be complete by November 30, 1999.

     The Company did not defer any significant IT projects to address the
Year 2000 issues. Because the Year 2000 issue is of short duration, the
Company retained experts and advisors to evaluate Year 2000 readiness; assist
in analysis, renovation, and contingency planning; and conduct independent
testing when renovations were completed. The Company's core IT staff focused
on the Company's business needs, as well as assisted with Year 2000 analysis
and renovation.

                                                                            10

     The Company is implementing proposed solutions and began to incur
expenses during fiscal 1998 to resolve the Year 2000 issue. These expenses
will continue through the fiscal year 2000. Maintenance or modification costs
are expensed as incurred, while costs of any new software and equipment are
being capitalized over the asset's useful life, consistent with the Company's
financial policies. The Company has spent approximately $5.7 million related
to the Year 2000 analysis; $2.1 million of these costs were capitalized. The
Company has a remaining budget of $0.8 million for expenditures, although
there can be no assurance that the Year 2000 related expenditures will not be
materially higher. Included in the remaining budget is $0.3 million of
computer equipment, which will be leased, and $0.5 million to be expensed as
period costs. The Company's current estimates of the amount of time and costs
necessary to modify and test its computer systems are based upon assumptions
regarding future events, including the continued availability of certain
resources, Year 2000 modification plans and other factors. New developments
may occur that could affect the Company's estimates of the amount of time and
costs necessary to implement its systems for Year 2000 readiness. These
developments include, but are not limited to, (i) the availability and cost
of personnel trained in this area, (ii) the ability to locate and correct all
relevant computer codes and equipment and (iii) the Year 2000 readiness
success that key suppliers attain.

     Contingency plans have been developed for all areas of the business. The
Company used a weighted system to evaluate and determine this level of risk
in each of five areas: Operational, Facility Safety, Financial Management,
Legal Implication and Organizational Implication. Where necessary, the
Company is implementing various contingency plans that will include, but are
not limited to, the following:

     -  Secondary vendors for garments and other significant nonuniform
        inventories
     -  Modifying inventory ordering practices during the year-end transition
     -  Manual work-arounds for less critical computerized systems
     -  Staffing of management response teams during critical date changes,
        such as the calendar year change on January 1, 2000

     While the Company has exercised its best efforts to identify and remedy
any potential Year 2000 exposures within its control, the largest risks are
expected with utilities in the form of water and power which, to a
significant extent, are beyond the immediate control of the Company. To date,
the Company has not identified any suppliers who will not be Year 2000
compliant; however, the Company has developed appropriate contingency plans.

     While the Company believes its planning efforts are adequate to address
its Year 2000 concerns, the Year 2000 readiness of the Company's suppliers
and business partners may lag behind the Company's efforts. Although the
Company does not believe the Year 2000 matters discussed above should have a
material impact on its business, financial condition and results of
operations, it is uncertain as to what extent the Company may be affected by
such matters.


MARKET RISK SENSITIVITY

     The Company uses financial instruments, including fixed and variable
rate debt, as well as interest rate swaps, to finance operations and to hedge
interest rate exposures. The swap contracts are entered into for periods
consistent with related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions
independent of those exposures. The Company does not enter into contracts for
speculative purposes, nor is it a party to any leveraged instrument. There
has been no material change in the Company's market risks associated with
debt and interest rate swap obligations during the quarter ended September
25, 1999.

     Statements in this document regarding ongoing trends and expectations
constitute "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks, which may cause the Company's actual results in the future to
differ materially from expected results. These risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, unforeseen operating risks; the availability
of capital to finance planned growth; competition within the uniform leasing
industry; and the effects of economic conditions.
