To the Plan Administrator of
National Linen Service Retirement
and 401(K) Plan for Eligible Associates:
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of the NATIONAL LINEN SERVICE RETIREMENT AND 401(k) PLAN FOR ELIGIBLE ASSOCIATES
as of December 31, 1994 and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the year then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of National Linen
Service Retirement and 401(k) Plan for Eligible Associates as of December 31,
1994 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The Fund information in the statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for the purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the changes in net assets available
for benefits of each fund. The Fund information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements,
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, the plan administrator believes
that the Plan was qualified and that the related trust was tax-exempt as of
December 31, 1994.
2. TRUST AGREEMENT
Under a trust agreement dated September 1, 1993, as amended, Wachovia Bank of
Georgia, N.A. was appointed trustee of the NSI Defined Contribution Plans Master
Trust. Certain officers of NSI were appointed administrators of the Plan's
assets together with the income derived therefrom.
3. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following brief description of the Plan is provided for informational
purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete
information.
The Plan, effective January 1, 1994, incorporates the required standards under
ERISA. The Plan is a voluntary, defined contribution plan covering all nonunion,
nonmanagement employees of the Company, who have attained the age of 20.5, with
at least six months of service. Participants may contribute between 1% and 10%
of before-tax compensation but not to exceed $8,994 (or such larger amount as
may be determined by the Secretary of Treasury) for any participant in any
calendar year. Contributions are made by the Company in an amount equal to 50%
Page 8
of the participant's contribution; providing that such contributions do not
exceed 4% of the participant's annual compensation or $500 in a plan year. The
total of these amounts can be increased for any additional discretionary amount
determined by the Board of Directors of NSI.
Nonvested employer contributions are forfeited upon withdrawal or termination,
as defined, from the Plan and are allocated to remaining participants. All
expenses of the Plan were paid by the Company during 1994. Vesting of employer
contributions occurs on an increasing scale ranging from 10% vesting after two
years of service, as defined, to 100% vesting after seven years of service.
Participants are always fully vested in their individual contributions.
Although the Company intends for the Plan to be permanent, the Plan provides
that the Company has the right to discontinue contributions or to terminate the
Plan at any time. In the event of termination, each participant shall be vested
with the balance of his account and his proportionate share of any future
adjustments or forfeitures.
4. PLAN INVESTMENT OPTIONS
The separate investment funds made available under the Plan may be changed,
eliminated, or modified from time to time by the Investment Committee. The
separate investment funds offered by the Plan are:
* Diversified Equity Fund. This fund is a diversified stock fund designed to
invest in a broad range of common stocks providing capital growth.

* Balanced Fund. This fund is invested in a changing mix of high quality stocks
and bonds. The fund is designed to provide capital growth and current income
while limiting the risk of principal loss.
