Financial Review
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Financial Condition
The Company's financial condition at the end of fiscal 1997 continued
to be very strong. New short-term debt at year end caused working capital of
$163.0 million and a current ratio of 3.3 to 1 to be moderately lower than
working capital of $181.0 and a current ratio of 5.0 to 1 at the end of the
prior year, but all of these financial measures reflected strength. Current
assets increased $5.8 million during the year, with the largest changes being
increases of $7.4 million in inventories and $7.2 million in linens in
service, due in part to acquisitions. These increases were offset by an $8.9
million decrease in cash and short-term investments. Receivables were down
slightly in the year, and receivable days outstanding decreased to 61 versus
63 at the end of last year. Current liabilities increased $23.9 million from
last year end, $15.4 million of which represented the new short-term debt.
Long-term debt decreased $2.7 million in fiscal 1997 as a result of
normal sinking fund payments. The ratio of long-term debt to total long-term
debt and equity was 34.0 percent at year end compared with 34.6 percent last
year. Had the short-term debt at year end been treated as long term for
purposes of this ratio, it still would have been a modest 37.3 percent.
Cash flow from operating activities was $17.4 million in fiscal 1997,
down from $27.1 million in the prior year due to lower net income when
compared with last year's net income plus last year's restructuring charge.
Cash used in investing activities increased to $30.8 million compared with
$19.4 million a year ago. Included in investing activities, capital
expenditures increased to $23.6 million from $8.8 million (caused by
expenditures on three new laundry facilities to replace existing facilities),
and acquisition expenditures decreased to $7.2 million from $10.6 million in
the prior year. Cash flow provided by financing activities was a net $4.4
million this year, with $15.4 million in new short-term financing being
offset by long-term debt repayments and $8.8 million of dividends paid.
No material change in the Company's future aggregate cash requirements
is foreseen at the present time. In addition, it is Management's opinion that
the Company's financial condition is such that internal and external
resources are sufficient to satisfy the Company's future requirements for
capital expenditures, dividends and working capital.
Analysis of Fiscal 1997 Operations Compared to 1996
Combined sales and textile service revenues were $489.2 million in
fiscal 1997, an increase of $2.2 million over the prior year. Excluding
acquisitions, there would have been a decline of 2.9 percent. For the Textile
Services segment, revenues increased by $6.5 million or 2.5 percent, with all
the increase resulting from acquisitions. Sales of the Manufacturing and
Marketing segment, before deduction for intersegment sales, were $4.2 million
or 2.3 percent lower than the prior year. Without the effect of acquisitions,
sales would have been 4.0 percent lower than the prior year. Sales of Life
Retail Stores rose $6.1 million or 8.4 percent in fiscal 1997 due to
acquisitions and a 4.0 percent same-store sales increase.
The gross profit percent to combined sales and textile service revenues
in fiscal 1997 was 25.6 percent, down from 26.2 percent in the prior year.
Gross margins in the Textile Services segment were down due to continued
margin pressures in the health care markets and significantly increased linen
amortization expense, which has been adversely affected by health care
customers resisting the industry practice of paying for lost and misused
linens. The inability to collect loss charges increases linen amortization
expense and reduces gross margin. Margins of the Manufacturing and Marketing
segment rose slightly, primarily the result of a change in sales mix, and
margins of Life Retail Stores remained approximately the same as the prior
year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1997 were only
$0.7 million or 0.7 percent higher than the prior year and remained the same
percent to combined sales and textile services revenues. Interest expense of

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$9.6 million in fiscal 1997 compared with $9.1 million in the prior year,
reflecting the new short-term financing. The effective tax rate in fiscal
1997 was 38.0 percent, slightly lower than an effective tax rate of 38.5
percent in the preceding year.
Analysis of Fiscal 1996 Operations Compared to 1995
In fiscal 1996, combined sales and textile service revenues of $487.0
million were $14.2 million or 3.0 percent higher than last year. Excluding
acquisitions, there would have been a decline of 1.6 percent. In the Textile
Services segment, revenues were up $10.4 million or 4.3 percent, with all of
this increase coming from acquisitions. Sales of the Manufacturing and
Marketing segment, before deduction for intersegment sales, were $2.3 million
or 1.3 percent higher than the prior year. Without the effect of
acquisitions, sales would have been 3.7 percent lower than the prior year.
Increased sales volume in the United States and in the United Kingdom offset a
small sales decline in Canada. Life Retail Stores sales rose $2.9 million or
4.3 percent due to acquisitions and a 2.9 percent same-store sales increase.
The gross profit percent to combined sales and rental service revenues
was 26.2 percent in fiscal 1996, down slightly from 26.8 percent in the prior
year. In the Textile Services segment, margins were lower than the prior year
due to continued pressure on margins in the health care market, plus the loss
of a large non-health care customer at the Las Vegas plant and the inability
to lower costs there sufficiently to compensate for the lost revenue. Margins
of the Manufacturing and Marketing segment were up slightly versus last year,
primarily the result of a change in sales mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1996 were $4.9
million or 5.2 percent higher than the prior year and increased slightly as a
percentage of combined sales and rental service revenues to 20.4 percent from
20.0 percent the prior year. Interest expense of $9.1 million in fiscal 1996
was $1.2 million higher than the prior year due to the long-term financing
completed in fiscal 1996. The effective tax rate was 38.5 percent in fiscal
1996, unchanged from the preceding year.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
The Company provides textile rental and laundry services principally to
health care institutions and to a limited extent to hotels, casinos, motels
and restaurants, in or near major metropolitan areas in the United States.
The Company is a manufacturer and marketer of uniforms and business career
apparel for a wide variety of institutions and businesses in the United
States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The Company operates a nationwide
chain of specialty retail stores primarily for nurses and other health care
professionals.
Principles of Consolidation
All subsidiaries are wholly-owned and are included in the consolidated
financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.
Textile service revenues are recognized at the time the service is
provided to the customer. Net sales are recognized at the time the
merchandise is shipped to or picked up by the customer.
Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to
current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
These financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting, which required the use of certain estimates by Management in
determining the Company's assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company accounts for foreign currency translation in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52. The cumulative
effect of this method is reflected as a separate component of shareholders'
equity.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or
market. Cost includes material, labor and factory overhead, as applicable.
Inventories were comprised of the following:
(Dollars in thousands) 1997 1996
------------------------------------------------------------
Raw materials $ 30,961 $ 27,612
Work in process 6,366 6,033
Finished goods 74,129 70,412
............................................................
$111,456 $104,057
============================================================
Linens in Service
Linens in service are stated at depreciated cost, not in excess of market.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Renewals and betterments are
capitalized.
Property and equipment are depreciated over their expected useful lives
(buildings -- 15 to 40 years; machinery and equipment -- three to 10 years).
Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method. Leasehold
improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful
lives or lease terms, as appropriate.
Goodwill and Other Acquired Assets
Goodwill, the excess of cost over net assets of businesses acquired, is being
amortized on the straight-line basis over periods not exceeding 40 years.
Other acquired assets, including customer contracts and non-competition
agreements, are being amortized on the straight-line basis generally over
periods of three to seven years.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, which
utilizes the liability method. Under this method, deferred taxes are
determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between
the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the
provisions of the enacted tax laws.
Net Income Per Share
Net income per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to
Common Stock by the weighted average number of Common and Common equivalent
shares outstanding.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company
considers short-term, highly liquid investments (securities with an original
maturity date of less than three months), as cash equivalents.
Cash payments for income taxes were $2,826,000, $5,615,000 and
$9,182,000 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively; and in these periods
interest payments were $9,627,000, $8,644,000 and $7,844,000, respectively.
Adoption of New Pronouncements
Effective January 28, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of" with no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

2. Retirement Benefits
The Company has a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering
primarily all domestic salaried and hourly administrative non-union
personnel. The benefit formula is based on years of service and compensation
during employment. The funding policy of the pension plan is in accordance
with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
Pension expense included the following components:

subsequent to January 31, 1998, are $2,686,000, $5,224,000, $2,415,000 and
$27,223,000, respectively.
Based on borrowing rates currently available for debt instruments with
similar terms and average maturities, the fair market value of the Company's
long-term debt, as of January 25, 1997 and January 27, 1996, was
approximately $110,260,000 and $119,550,000, respectively.

==================================================================
Temporary differences related to investments in foreign subsidiaries
essentially permanent in nature and not expected to reverse in the
foreseeable future were approximately $2,313,000. The unrecognized deferred
tax liability related to these temporary differences was $253,000.
5. Preferred Stock
The Company has two classes of authorized Preferred Stock: Class A, Series 1,
$1 stated value per share, authorized in the amount of 100,000 shares; and
Class B, authorized in the amount of 2,500,000 shares. At January 25, 1997 no
shares of Class A or Class B were outstanding.
6. Shareholder Protection Rights Plan
The Company has a Shareholder Protection Rights Plan, under which a Right is
attached to each share of the Company's Common Stock. The Rights may only
become exercisable under certain circumstances involving actual or potential
acquisitions of the Company's Common Stock by a person or group of affiliated
or associated persons. Depending upon the circumstances, if the Rights become
exercisable, the holder may be entitled to purchase units of the Company's
Class B Series 1 Junior Participating Preferred Stock, shares of the
Company's Common Stock or shares of common stock of the surviving or
purchasing company. The Rights will remain in existence until September 7,
1998, unless they are earlier exercised or redeemed.
7. Restructuring Charge
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company recorded a
restructuring charge of $14,145,000 ($8,700,000 after-tax or $.95 per share).
The restructuring charge related primarily to the consolidation and closing
of Textile Service plants, the reduction of selected product lines in the
Manufacturing and Marketing segment and the sale or contraction of certain
Canadian operations. These costs included (i) writedowns to the carrying
values of plants closed, idle facilities and other assets, (ii) related
inventory adjustments and (iii) the accrual of severance costs associated
with the elimination of approximately 450 positions.
The restructuring charge was composed of $2,566,000 in cash
expenditures and $11,579,000 in reduction of asset carrying values. As of
January 25, 1997, $13,286,000 had been charged to the restructuring reserve
and the remaining reserve of $859,000 is expected to be utilized during
fiscal 1998.
8. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Company has various stock option and stock bonus plans which provide for
the granting to certain employees and directors of incentive stock options,
non-qualified stock options, restricted stock and performance awards. Options
and awards have been granted at the fair market value at the date of grant,
although certain plans allow for options to be granted at an option price
below fair market value. Options are exercisable not less than six months nor
more than 10 years after the date of grant.

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense
has been recognized for its stock-based compensation plans other than for
restricted stock and performance-based awards.
A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plans for fiscal
years 1997, 1996 and 1995 and changes during the years then ended is
presented in the table below:

..................................................................................................................
Weighted average fair value for each
option granted during the year $5.00 $7.59
==================================================================================================================
The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions
used for grants in fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively: risk free interest
rates of 6.4% and 7.2%; expected dividend yields of 3.5% and 3.3%;
volatilities of 18.5% and 17.1%; and expected lives of 9 years in both
periods. The range of per share exercise prices for the 672,175 options
outstanding at year end was $19.00 to $37.50, and the weighted-average
remaining contractual life was 7.6 years.
Had compensation expense for the Company's 1997 and 1996 grants for
stock-based compensation plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company's net income and
earnings per share would approximate the pro forma amounts below:
(Dollars in thousands, except per share) 1997 1996
------------------------------------------------------------------
Net income - As reported $8,022 $1,141
Pro forma 7,746 1,035
..................................................................
Earnings per share - As reported $ .88 $ .13
Pro forma .85 .11
==================================================================
SFAS No. 123 does not apply to awards prior to 1996, nor are the
effects of its application in this disclosure indicative
of the pro forma effect on net income in future years.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
Future minimum payments by year and in the aggregate, under capital leases
and under operating leases with initial or remaining terms of one year or
more, consisted of the following at January 25, 1997:

==============================================================================
The Company is a party to various claims and legal proceedings which
arose in the ordinary course of its business. Although the ultimate
disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, Management
does not believe that an adverse determination in any or all of such
proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition
or operating results of the Company.

managed. Capital additions do not include the cost of properties acquired in
business acquisitions.

To Xxxxxxxx Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Xxxxxxxx
Corporation (a Missouri corporation) and subsidiaries as of January 25, 1997
and January 27, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended January 25, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by Management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Xxxxxxxx
Corporation and subsidiaries as of January 25, 1997 and January 27, 1996, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of three years
in the period ended January 25, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
