G&K Services Revenues
 G&K Services Revenue Recognition
 Check points!
 Service Agreement
 Completion of laundering process and delivery to customers
 Product is shipped
G&K Services Revenue Recognition
Our rental operations business is largely based on written services agreements whereby we agree to collect, launder and deliver
uniforms and other related products. The service agreements provide for weekly billing upon completion of the laundering
process and delivery to the customer. Accordingly, we recognize revenue from rental operations in the period in which the
services are provided. Revenue from rental operations also includes billing customers for lost or damaged merchandise. Direct
sale revenue is recognized in the period in which the product is shipped.

Hersey’s Revenues
 Hersey’s Revenue Recognition
 Check points!
 Product Delivered
 Valid customer
 Collectability
 No further obligations
Hersey’s Revenue Recognition
We record sales when all the following criteria have been met:
- a valid customer order with a fixed price has been received.
- delivery appointment with the customer has been made.
- product has been delivered to the customer.
- there is no further significant obligation to assist in the resale of the product and
- collectability is reasonably assured.
Net sales include revenue from the sale of finished goods and royalty income, net of allowance for trade promotions, consumer
coupon programs and other sales incentives, and allowances and discounts associated with aged or potentially unsalable
products. Trade promotions and sales incentives primarily include price features, merchandise displays, sales growth incentives,
net item allowances and cooperative advertising.

G&K Services Expenses
 G&K Services Expenses
 Check points!
 Information not explicitly given in the Annual Report
 You may need to read through the Management Section to understand the costs involved
G&K Services Expenses
Cost of Rental and Direct Sale
Cost of rental operations which includes merchandise, production and delivery expenses increased 4.4% to $541.4 million in
fiscal 2007 from $518.5 million in fiscal 2006. Gross margin from rental sales increased to 36.1% in fiscal 2007 from 35.3%
in the prior year. The increase in gross margins resulted from leveraging our revenue growth as well an improvement in our
merchandise costs in fiscal year 2007.
Cost of direct sales increased to $59.6 million in fiscal 2007 from $57.5 million in fiscal 2006. Gross margin from direct sales
decreased slightly in fiscal 2007 to 27.5% from 27.7% in fiscal 2006. The slight decrease in gross margin is due to a combination
of increased compensation costs and increased customer fulfillment and shipping costs at our Lion Uniform Group. These costs
increased primarily due to the expiration of a cost sharing arrangement between Lion Uniform Group and a third party at the
end of fiscal 2006.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses increased 9.1% to $203.6 million in fiscal 2007 from $186.7 million in fiscal 2006.
As a percentage of total revenues, selling and administrative expenses increased to 21.9% in fiscal 2007 from 21.2% in
fiscal 2006. The increase in expense is due to the expansion of our sales force and the continued rollout of our information
technology initiatives. These increases were partially offset by lower administrative expenses due to office productivity
savings driven by our handheld initiative, leverage due to improved revenue growth and lower retirement plan and workers’
compensation expenses.

AdvancedAccountingE-Bookpart1of12
Analyst’s view of Income Statement – EBIT & EBITDA
 EBIT – Earnings before interest and taxes
 Also known as Operating Income from continuing operations
 Includes revenues from the continuing business of the firm less the costs and expenses used to generate
those revenues
 Capital Structure Independent
 Income belongs to three stakeholders – Creditors, Government and Shareholders
 Operating expenses maybe subdivided into two parts
• Cost of goods sold
• Selling, general and administrative expenses
 EBIT is important for analyst as this is considered to be one of indicators of future earnings
 Analyst should remove NON-RECURRING costs to normalize the EBIT
 EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization)
 Independent of depreciation policy

Importance of EBITDA & EBIT
 Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIOX)
Importance of EBITDA as
an operating
performance measure
Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIOX)
In this release, the Company's adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS disclosures are not presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of results of operations
or cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP earnings excluding interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization expenses and further by excluding restructuring and integration costs related to the Company's acquisition
of BGS which the Company finalized on September 1, 2005. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it
provides additional information with respect to both the performance of our fundamental business activities as well as the
Company's ability to meet future debt service and working capital requirements. Management believes the adjusted EBITDA
information is useful to investors for these reasons. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be
viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure is net income and has provided a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income in this press release.

Importance of EBITDA & EBIT
 Bell Canada
Importance of EBITDA as
an operating
performance measure
Bell Canada Enterprise
The term EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning according to GAAP. It is therefore unlikely to be comparable to
similar measures presented by other companies. We use EBITDA, among other measures, to assess the operating performance
of our ongoing businesses without the effects of amortization expense, net benefit plans cost, and restructuring and other
items. We exclude these items because they affect the comparability of our financial results and could potentially distort the
analysis of trends in business performance. We exclude amortization expense and net benefit plans cost because they largely
depend on the accounting methods and assumptions a company uses, as well as non-operating factors such as the historical
cost of capital assets and the fund performance of a company’s pension plans. Excluding restructuring and other items does
not imply they are necessarily non-recurring.     EBITDA allows us to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis.
We believe that certain investors and analysts use EBITDA to measure a company’s ability to service debt and to meet other
payment obligations, or as a common measurement to value companies in the telecommunications industry.

Unusual or Infrequent Items
 Events are either unusual or infrequent in occurrence but not both unusual and infrequent
 Unusual nature
 Underlying event or transaction possesses a high degree of abnormality and is of a type clearly unrelated
to, or only incidentally related to, the ordinary and typical activities of the company
 Infrequency of occurrence
 Underlying event or transaction is of a type that is not reasonably expected to recur in the foreseeable
future
 Examples
 Disposal of business segment
 Sale of assets or investment in subsidiaries
 Restructuring costs
 Impairments and write-offs
 Integration expenses
 What an Analyst should know?
 As these items are reported pre-tax, analyst has to be careful in normalizing these costs for forecasting
future income
 Distinguish recurring items from non recurring items
 Sometimes these are hidden in the form of other income or other expenses
 Read through “Management Discussion and Analysis” and footnotes to understand the implication of these
items on profitability and future performance
AdvancedAccountingE-Bookpart1of12

AdvancedAccountingE-Bookpart1of12
Discontinued Operations
 Management has decided to dispose of a business segment or a unit but either has not done
it or did so in the current year after it had generated income or losses
 Disposed business segment or unit
 Should involve operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for the
financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the company
 Example:
 The sale by a diversified company of a major division that represented the company’s only activities in the
sports equipments
 Income Statement Reporting
 Discontinued operations are reported on the income statement net of taxes after the continuing
operations, but before extraordinary items
 Past income must be restated separating the income or loss from the discontinued operations
 What an Analyst should know?
 Discontinued operations do not affect net income from continuing operations
 Analyst should make forecast of company’s statement without considering this business segment

AdvancedAccountingE-Bookpart1of12
Extraordinary Item
 An extraordinary item is an event or transaction that is both unusual in nature and infrequent
in occurrence
 Unusual nature: Underlying event or transaction possesses a high degree of abnormality and is of a type
clearly unrelated to, or only incidentally related to, the ordinary and typical activities of the company
 Infrequency of occurrence : Underlying event or transaction is of a type that is not reasonably expected
to recur in the foreseeable future
 Examples include
 Gain or loss from early retirement of debt
 Losses from expropriation of asset
 What an Analyst should know?
 Review extraordinary items to determine whether these items should be included in forecasting
 Some companies are prone to accidents and have extraordinary expenses every year

AdvancedAccountingE-Bookpart1of12
Accounting Changes
Primarily of two types:
 Change in accounting principles
 A change in accounting principle occurs when a company adopts a generally accepted accounting principle
different from the one it has been using in its financial reporting
 In most instances, a company reports the cumulative effect on prior years’ earnings in its net income
for the year in which it makes the change
 Example: Change to or from cost recovery method to some other method
 Example: Change in inventory accounting method from LIFO to another method
 Change in accounting estimates
 Because companies present financial information on a periodic basis, accounting estimates are necessary,
and changes in these estimates frequently occur
 When a company changes an accounting estimate, it accounts for the change in the current year, and
in future years if the change affects both
 Example: Estimated useful life of an asset could be changed
 What an analyst should know?
 Accounting changes do not affect cash flows
 Prior-period income does not affect net income from continuing operations
 Should understand the implication of accounting changes if it has some impact on future operation

Accrual versus Cash Accounting
AdvancedAccountingE-Bookpart1of12
www.educorporatebridge.comAll Rights Reserved. Corporate Bridge TM
AdvancedAccountingE-Bookpart1of12
Accrual and Cash Accounting
Do you remember this FastTrack Case?
 Even though Kartik’s clients won't be paying FastTrack Inc until January 15, the accrual basis
of accounting requires that the $1,000 be recorded as December revenues, since that is when
the delivery work actually took place
 After expenses are matched with these revenues, the income statement for December will
show just how profitable the company was in delivering parcels in December
 Cash Accounting
 Revenues recognized when cash is received and expenses are recognized when the firm pays out cash
 Cash flow is measured as Cash Inflows LESS Cash Outflows
 Results in volatile and less predictable cash flows and income streams
 When operations of a company are complex, it adds to the volatility and difficulty of analyzing a business
 Accrual Accounting
 Allocate revenues and expenses related to accounting transactions and events to time period other than
those in which the cash flows occurred
 Smooth earnings streams (depreciation expenses)
 Results in enhanced predictability of earnings

Appendix: Revenue Recognition
AdvancedAccountingE-Bookpart1of12
www.educorporatebridge.comAll Rights Reserved. Corporate Bridge TM
AdvancedAccountingE-Bookpart1of12
Revenue recognition criteria
Revenues are recognized only when
 Earned
 Earned means risks and reward of ownership transferred to the buyer. Earnings is substantially complete
 Realized or Realizable
 Realized means receipt of an asset (cash or claims to cash) by the seller
 Realizable means that although a buyer has not delivered an asset (cash or claims to cash) to the seller,
the good or service offered by the seller is sold in established, active markets with quoted prices, and thus
the seller can immediately realize the revenues at a known price (e.g., commodities like tea, rice, silver,
copper etc)
 Normally, revenue recognition criteria are satisfied at the point of sale
 However, sometimes revenue recognition is done before the delivery
 During production (long term construction and service contracts)
 At the completion of production (commodities, e.g., tea, silver, rice)
 Revenue recognition prior to the point of sale is driven by a desire to avoid producing distorted financial
results
 Other times revenue recognition is done after the delivery
 Driven by a concern over collectability
 There is no reliable basis for estimating the degree of collectability

Sample Revenue Recognition Policies
 G&K Services Revenue Recognition Policy
 Hershey’s Revenue recognition policy
Hersey’s Revenue Recognition
We record sales when all the following criteria have been met:
- a valid customer order with a fixed price has been received.
- delivery appointment with the customer has been made.
- product has been delivered to the customer.
- there is no further significant obligation to assist in the resale of the product and
- collectability is reasonably assured.
Net sales include revenue from the sale of finished goods and royalty income, net of allowance for trade promotions, consumer
coupon programs and other sales incentives, and allowances and discounts associated with aged or potentially unsalable
products. Trade promotions and sales incentives primarily include price features, merchandise displays, sales growth incentives,
net item allowances and cooperative advertising.
Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Our rental operations business is largely based on written service agreements whereby we agree to collect, launder
and deliver uniforms and other related products. The service agreements provide for weekly billing upon completion of the
laundering process and delivery to the customer. Accordingly, we recognize revenue from rental operations in the period in
which the services are provided. Revenue from rental operations also includes billings to customers for lost or damaged
merchandise. Direct sale revenue is recognized in the period in which the product is shipped. Estimates are used in
determining the collectibility 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. While we have been consistent in applying our
methodologies, and in making our estimates over the past three fiscal years, material differences may result in the amount
and timing of bad debt expense for any given period if management makes different judgments or utilizes different estimates.

AdvancedAccountingE-Bookpart1of12
Revenue Recognition - Sales Basis Method
 Goods or services are provided when the sale is made and the sale is for cash or credit to the
customer with high probability of repayment
 And expenses that contributed to that revenue are recognized at the same time
 A more technical version of this rule recognizes revenue when the title to the goods passes
from seller to buyer
 This may occur when the goods are moved from the seller’s loading dock to a shipper
 Exceptions
 Sales with buyback agreements
 Sales when right of return exists (high rates that are not reliably estimable)
 Advantage
 Easily verified

Revenue recognition before delivery
 Revenue may be recognized before delivery under certain circumstances.
 Long-term construction contracts are a notable example
 Two methods are used
 The percentage-of-completion method
 The completed contract method
Long-Term Construction
Accounting Methods
Percentage-of-Completion
Method
Completed Contract
Method
 Terms of contract must be certain, enforceable
 Certainty of performance by both parties
 Estimates of completion can be made reliably
 To be used only when the percentage method
is inapplicable [uncertain]
 For relatively shorter contracts
AdvancedAccountingE-Bookpart1of12
www.educorporatebridge.comAll Rights Reserved. Corporate Bridge TM
AdvancedAccountingE-Bookpart1of12
Percentage Completion Method
 It recognizes revenues and corresponding costs in proportion to the work completed
 Long-term construction companies may earn revenue as they go
 For example, a contract to pave a road is earned as the final payment is laid
 Expenses can be matched against this revenue and recognized in proportion
 There are two methods that can be used to measure the proportion of work completed:
 An engineering estimate
 Ratio of incurred costs to the total estimated costs
 Steps to calculate Gross Profit for a particular period

Completed contract method
 Revenues and expenses are not recognized until the project is completed
 Used for long term projects when there is no contract or estimates of revenues or costs are
unreliable
 More conservative than percentage-of-completion method
 Revenues will lag those of percentage completion method
 Income will be volatile as compared to percentage-of-completion method
 No revenues or expenses will be recognized until the last year under the completed
contract method
Example: Completed Contract Method
A real estate company is building a corporate park for $50 million, to be received in equal installment over four years
However, it was found that no reliable estimate can be made for the total cost. It has spend $12 million in the first
Year. How much revenue and expense will be recognized in the first year?

Installment method
 Used when there is no way to estimate the likelihood of collecting of sales proceeds, but the
costs of goods and services are known
 Recognizes revenue as the seller collects cash from periodic payments
 Matching of expenses calls for recognition of a proportional amount of the total cost of asset
 For example: Rent-to-own store which the customer takes possession of an asset and pays periodic
payments like rent. The customer may return the asset and stop payments at any time or after a set
number of payments is granted ownership of the asset
Year Cost Gross Profit
2007 $35.0 $15.0
2008 $17.5 $7.5
2009 $17.5 $7.5
Cost: $70/$100 x $50 = $35
Gross Profit: $50 - $35 = $15
Example: Installment sales method
KG Electronics uses the installment sales method to account for its sales. In 2007, the company sold goods
costing $70 million for $100 million, representing a gross profit of $30 million.
Following the schedule for its cash collection:
Year Sales collection
2007 $50
2008 $25
2009 $25
How much did KG Electronics recognize as gross profit in 2007, 2008 and 2009?

Year Cost recovered Gross Profit
2007 $50.0 $0.0
2008 $70.0 $5.0
2009 $70.0 $25.0
Private and Confidential – Not for Circulation
Cost recovery method
 Income appears to be zero until the cost is recovered and then is equal to revenue until the
payments are completed
 This method front-end loads expenses but results in a greatly delayed recognition of income
 This method is justified in sales where the probability of default by the customer is very high
 Since income in these cases is very uncertain, no income is recognized until the cost is
covered
Example: Cost Recovery Method
KG Electronics uses the cost recovery method to account for its sales. In 2007, the company sold goods
costing $70 million for $100 million, representing a gross profit of $30 million.
Following the schedule for its cash collection:
Year Sales collection
2007 $50
2008 $25
2009 $25
How much did KG Electronics recognize as gross profit in 2003, 2004 and 2005?
Full cost recovered
Full cost not recovered; Gross
profit = $0
Full cost recovered; Gross
profit = $50 + $25 - $70 = $5

Corporate Bridge TM AdvancedAccountingE-Bookpart1of12 G&K Services Expenses  G&K Services Expenses  Check points!  Information not explicitly given in the Annual Report  You may need to read through the Management Section to understand the costs involved G&K Services Expenses Cost of Rental and Direct Sale Cost of rental operations which includes merchandise, production and delivery expenses increased 4.4% to $541.4 million in fiscal 2007 from $518.5 million in fiscal 2006. Gross margin from rental sales increased to 36.1% in fiscal 2007 from 35.3% in the prior year. The increase in gross margins resulted from leveraging our revenue growth as well an improvement in our merchandise costs in fiscal year 2007. Cost of direct sales increased to $59.6 million in fiscal 2007 from $57.5 million in fiscal 2006. Gross margin from direct sales decreased slightly in fiscal 2007 to 27.5% from 27.7% in fiscal 2006. The slight decrease in gross margin is due to a combination of increased compensation costs and increased customer fulfillment and shipping costs at our Lion Uniform Group. These costs increased primarily due to the expiration of a cost sharing arrangement between Lion Uniform Group and a third party at the end of fiscal 2006. Selling and Administrative Expenses Selling and administrative expenses increased 9.1% to $203.6 million in fiscal 2007 from $186.7 million in fiscal 2006. As a percentage of total revenues, selling and administrative expenses increased to 21.9% in fiscal 2007 from 21.2% in fiscal 2006. The increase in expense is due to the expansion of our sales force and the continued rollout of our information technology initiatives. These increases were partially offset by lower administrative expenses due to office productivity savings driven by our handheld initiative, leverage due to improved revenue growth and lower retirement plan and workers’ compensation expenses.

Corporate Bridge TM AdvancedAccountingE-Bookpart1of12 Importance of EBITDA & EBIT  Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIOX) Importance of EBITDA as an operating performance measure Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIOX) In this release, the Company's adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS disclosures are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of results of operations or cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP earnings excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses and further by excluding restructuring and integration costs related to the Company's acquisition of BGS which the Company finalized on September 1, 2005. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to both the performance of our fundamental business activities as well as the Company's ability to meet future debt service and working capital requirements. Management believes the adjusted EBITDA information is useful to investors for these reasons. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. Management believes the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income and has provided a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income in this press release.

Corporate Bridge TM AdvancedAccountingE-Bookpart1of12 Importance of EBITDA & EBIT  Bell Canada Importance of EBITDA as an operating performance measure Bell Canada Enterprise The term EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning according to GAAP. It is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. We use EBITDA, among other measures, to assess the operating performance of our ongoing businesses without the effects of amortization expense, net benefit plans cost, and restructuring and other items. We exclude these items because they affect the comparability of our financial results and could potentially distort the analysis of trends in business performance. We exclude amortization expense and net benefit plans cost because they largely depend on the accounting methods and assumptions a company uses, as well as non-operating factors such as the historical cost of capital assets and the fund performance of a company’s pension plans. Excluding restructuring and other items does not imply they are necessarily non-recurring.     EBITDA allows us to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe that certain investors and analysts use EBITDA to measure a company’s ability to service debt and to meet other payment obligations, or as a common measurement to value companies in the telecommunications industry.

Trade promotions and sales incentives primarily include price features, merchandise displays, sales growth incentives, net item allowances and cooperative advertising. Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Our rental operations business is largely based on written service agreements whereby we agree to collect, launder and deliver uniforms and other related products. The service agreements provide for weekly billing upon completion of the laundering process and delivery to the customer. Accordingly, we recognize revenue from rental operations in the period in which the services are provided. Revenue from rental operations also includes billings to customers for lost or damaged merchandise. Direct sale revenue is recognized in the period in which the product is shipped. Estimates are used in determining the collectibility 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. While we have been consistent in applying our methodologies, and in making our estimates over the past three fiscal years, material differences may result in the amount and timing of bad debt expense for any given period if management makes different judgments or utilizes different estimates.

Editor's Notes

  1. 1. Long term contractors: Projects take several years to complete and cash inflows and outflows may be made during the project. 2. Forestry products: Similar to a long term contract, forests take many years to mature but cash inflow in typically at the sale. 3. Insurance: What is a prepaid asset to the insured is a deposit paid in advance of services to the insurance company. Revenue is earned when the service is provided. 4. Franchisors: A franchisor sells rights to a franchisee who pays for them. These payments may be deferred until the franchisee earns revenue.
