NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(1)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

ARAMARK Corporation (the “Company” or “ARAMARK”) was acquired on January 26, 2007 through a merger transaction with RMK Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation controlled by investment funds associated with GS Capital Partners, CCMP Capital Advisors, J.P. Morgan Partners, Thomas H. Lee Partners and Warburg Pincus LLC (collectively, the “Sponsors”), Joseph Neubauer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ARAMARK, and certain other members of the Company’s management. The acquisition was accomplished through the merger of RMK Acquisition Corporation with and into ARAMARK Corporation with ARAMARK Corporation being the surviving company (the “Transaction”).

The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARAMARK Intermediate Holdco Corporation, which is wholly-owned by ARAMARK Holdings Corporation (the “Parent Company”). ARAMARK Holdings Corporation, ARAMARK Intermediate Holdco Corporation and RMK Acquisition Corporation were formed for the purpose of facilitating the Transaction and have no operations other than ownership of the Company. ARAMARK Holdings Corporation has 600.0 million common shares authorized, approximately 208.5 million common shares issued and approximately 204.3 million common shares outstanding as of January 1, 2010.

On March 30, 2007, ARAMARK Corporation was merged with and into ARAMARK Services, Inc. with ARAMARK Services, Inc. being the surviving corporation. In connection with the consummation of the merger, ARAMARK Services, Inc. changed its name to ARAMARK Corporation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements exclude the accounts of ARAMARK Holdings Corporation and ARAMARK Intermediate Holdco Corporation, but do reflect the Sponsors’ investment cost basis allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired on January 26, 2007.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes to those statements, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2009. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 2, 2009 was derived from audited financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of the Company, the statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal, recurring nature, required for a fair presentation for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year, due to the seasonality of some of the Company’s business activities and the possibility of changes in general economic conditions.

The Company has evaluated the impact of subsequent events from January 2, 2010 through February 9, 2010, the date the condensed consolidated financial statements herein were issued.

Certain prior period balances in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows related to cashless settlements of the exercise price and related employee minimum tax withholding liabilities of share-based payment awards have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The effect was not material. The Company calculated the provision for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 based on actual year-to-date results. The Company applied an estimated annual effective tax rate to the year-to-date income before income taxes to derive the provision for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

ACQUISITIONS

On October 30, 2009, ARAMARK Ireland Holdings Limited and ARAMARK Investments Limited, subsidiaries of the Company, completed the acquisition of the facilities management and property management businesses of Veris plc, an Irish company, for consideration of approximately $74.1 million in cash and the assumption of a pension liability of approximately $1.0 million. These business interests include Vector, IEFM Ltd, Premier Property Management, Orange, Glenrye and Irish Estates Management, all of which are companies that were owned by Veris plc. The facilities management business provides a broad range of facility and project management and consulting services for clients across a wide range of industrial and commercial sectors in Ireland and the United Kingdom. The property management business operates three business units – commercial, residential and retail – through which it manages mixed and single use property developments.

The Company followed the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the new accounting pronouncement related to business combinations, which the Company adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 (see Note 13). The following table

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Veris plc on October 30, 2009, based on the current best estimates of management. The Company is in the process of finalizing its assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Property and equipment, intangible assets and deferred income taxes were based on preliminary valuation data and estimates. Accordingly, the fair values of these assets and liabilities are subject to change.

The goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of the growth opportunity the Company anticipates in the core businesses acquired. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. All of the goodwill recorded is included in the Food and Support Services—International segment.

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations (in thousands) for the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009 assume the facilities management and property management businesses of Veris plc had been acquired at the beginning of each fiscal period. This unaudited pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the acquisition had actually occurred at the beginning of each fiscal period, nor of the results that may be reported in the future.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized and is subject to an impairment test that we conduct annually or more frequently if a change in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that potential impairment exists, using discounted cash flows. Changes in total goodwill during the three months ended January 1, 2010 follow (in thousands):


Segment	October 2, 2009		Acquisitions			Translation and Other			January 1, 2010

The amounts for fiscal 2010 acquisitions may be revised upon final determination of the purchase price allocations. The other adjustment to the Food and Support Services—North America segment represents an immaterial correction related to the Transaction accounting.

Other intangible assets consist of (in thousands):

Acquisition-related intangible assets consist of customer relationship assets and the ARAMARK tradename. Customer relationship assets are amortizable and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, 3 to 17 years, with a weighted average life of about 10 years. The ARAMARK tradename is an indefinite lived intangible asset and is not amortizable but is evaluated for impairment at least annually.

Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009 was approximately$47.0 million and $45.1 million, respectively.

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:

The Company enters into derivative contractual arrangements to manage changes in market conditions related to debt obligations, foreign currency exposures and exposure to fluctuating natural gas, gasoline and diesel fuel prices. Derivative instruments utilized during the period include interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency forward exchange contracts, and natural gas, gasoline and diesel fuel hedge agreements. All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each quarter. The counterparties to the Company’s contractual derivative agreements are all major international financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company continually monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties, and does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. For all hedging relationships the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method of measuring ineffectiveness. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting cash flows of hedged items.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company has entered into $3.48 billion, £50.0 million and ¥5.0 billion of interest rate swap agreements, fixing the rate on a like amount of variable rate term loan borrowings and floating rate notes. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as and meets all the required criteria for a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. As of January 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, approximately ($109.8) million and ($128.1) million of unrealized losses, net of tax, related to the interest rate swaps were

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” respectively. The hedge ineffectiveness for these cash flow hedging instruments during the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009 was immaterial.

The Company entered into a $169.6 million amortizing forward starting cross currency swap to mitigate the risk of variability in principal and interest payments on the Canadian subsidiary’s variable rate debt denominated in U.S. dollars. The agreement fixes the rate on the variable rate borrowings and mitigates changes in the Canadian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as and meets all the required criteria for a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. During the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, approximately ($3.6) million of unrealized losses, net of tax, and $6.5 million of unrealized gains, net of tax, related to the swap were added to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” respectively. Approximately $2.9 million and ($10.9) million were reclassified to offset net translation gains (losses) on the foreign currency denominated debt during the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, respectively. As of January 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, unrealized losses of approximately ($9.1) million, net of tax, and ($8.4) million, net of tax, related to the cross currency swap were included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” respectively. The hedge ineffectiveness for this cash flow hedging instrument during the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009 was immaterial.

The Company entered into a series of pay fixed/receive floating natural gas hedge agreements based on a NYMEX price in order to limit its exposure to price increases for natural gas, primarily in the Uniform and Career Apparel segment. As of January 1, 2010, the Company has contracts for approximately 530,000 MMBtu’s outstanding for fiscal 2010 that are designated as cash flow hedging instruments. These contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. As of January 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, unrecognized losses, net of tax, of approximately ($0.2) million and ($0.6) million, respectively, were recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” for these contracts. There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009.

The Company entered into a series of pay fixed/receive floating gasoline and diesel fuel hedge agreements based on the Department of Energy weekly retail on-highway index in order to limit its exposure to price fluctuations for gasoline and diesel fuel. As of January 1, 2010, the Company has contracts for approximately 5.3 million gallons outstanding for fiscal 2010 that are designated as cash flow hedging instruments. These contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. As of January 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, approximately $0.2 million of unrecognized gains, net of tax, and approximately ($1.1) million of unrecognized losses, net of tax, respectively, were recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” for these contracts. The hedge ineffectiveness for the gasoline and diesel fuel hedging instruments for the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009 was immaterial.

The following table summarizes the effect of our derivatives designated as cash flow hedging instruments on Comprehensive Income (Loss) (in thousands):

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

As of January 1, 2010, the Company had foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding with notional amounts of €59.4 million, £3.5 million and CAD15.0 million to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on short-term intercompany loans to certain international subsidiaries. Gains and losses on these foreign currency exchange contracts are recognized in income currently as the contracts were not designated as hedging instruments, substantially offsetting currency transaction gains and losses on the short term intercompany loans.

CAPITAL STOCK:

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement of the Parent Company, commencing on January 26, 2008, upon termination of employment from the Company or one of its subsidiaries, members of the Company’s management (other than Mr. Neubauer) who hold shares of common stock of the Parent Company can cause the Parent Company to repurchase all of their initial investment shares at fair market appraised value. Generally, payment for shares repurchased could be, at the Parent Company’s option, in cash or installment notes, which would be effectively subordinated to all indebtedness of the Company. The amount of this potential repurchase obligation has been classified outside of shareholder’s equity, which reflects the Parent Company’s investment basis and capital structure in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The amount of common stock subject to repurchase as of January 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009 was $185.9 million and $176.4 million, which is based on approximately 13.5 million and 13.4 million shares of common stock of the Parent Company valued at $13.78 and $13.15 per share, respectively. The fair value of our common stock subject to repurchase is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques, comparable public company trading multiples and transaction multiples. During the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, approximately $1.5 million and $7.0 million of common stock of the Parent Company was repurchased, respectively, and has been reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Stockholders Agreement, the senior secured credit agreement and the indenture governing the 8.50% senior notes due 2015 and the senior floating rate notes due 2015 contain limitations on the amount the Company can expend for such share repurchases.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:

During the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, share-based compensation expense was approximately $5.6 million, before taxes of $2.2 million, and approximately $9.8 million, before taxes of $3.8 million, respectively.

Time-Based Options

Approximately $2.8 million and $2.6 million was charged to expense during the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009 for Time-Based Options, respectively.

Performance-Based Options

On December 9, 2009, the Parent Company Board waived the EBIT target for fiscal 2009 with respect to approximately 1.1 million options representing 35% of the portion of the Performance-Based Options whose vesting was subject to the achievement of the Company’s fiscal 2009 EBIT target. Accordingly, such portion of the Performance-Based Options vest when the time-based vesting requirement of such options is satisfied. In addition on December 9, 2009, the Parent Company Board approved new annual and cumulative EBIT targets for fiscal 2010 that were revised to recognize the effects of the economic environment on the Company’s business. Approximately 3.3 million options were affected by the new annual and cumulative EBIT targets for fiscal 2010. The fair value of these Performance-Based Options were revalued at the award modification date in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance. The fair value of the Performance-Based Options was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions noted in the table below.


	Three Months Ended January 1, 2010
Expected volatility	30	%
Expected dividend yield	0	%
Expected life (in years)	3.6-5.8
Risk-free interest rate	1.23%-2.15	%

The weighted-average fair value of the Performance-Based Options modified on December 9, 2009 was $5.27 per option.

Approximately $2.8 million and $7.2 million was charged to expense during the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009 for Performance-Based Options, respectively. As of January 1, 2010, there was approximately $18.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested Performance-Based Options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.95 years.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

LLC. ARAMARK Receivables, LLC, in turn, has sold and, subject to certain conditions, may from time to time sell an undivided interest in these receivables. As collections reduce previously sold interests, interests in new, eligible receivables can be sold, subject to meeting certain conditions. This two-step transaction is accounted for as a sale of receivables following the provisions of the authoritative accounting guidance.

The Company has retained an undivided interest in the transferred receivables of approximately $209.2 million and $264.3 million at January 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, respectively, which is subject to a security interest. Because the sold accounts receivable underlying the retained ownership interest are generally short-term in nature, the fair value of the retained interest approximated its carrying value at both January 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009. The fair value of the retained interest is measured based on expected future cash flows adjusted for unobservable inputs used to assess the risk of credit losses. Those inputs reflect the diversified customer base, the short-term nature of the securitized asset, aging trends and historic collections experience. The Company believes that the allowance for doubtful accounts balance is a reasonable approximation of any credit risk of the customers that generated the receivables. At January 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, approximately $250.0 million and $235.4 million of accounts receivable were sold and removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. The Company has retained collection and administrative responsibility for the participating interest sold but has not recorded an asset or liability related to the servicing responsibility retained as the fees earned for servicing were estimated to approximate fair value of the services provided. During the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, ARAMARK Receivables, LLC sold an undivided interest in approximately $750 million in both periods of trade account receivables and remitted to bank conduits, pursuant to the servicing agreement, approximately $735.4 million and $750 million in collections on trade account receivables previously sold, respectively. The discount on the sale of the undivided interest in the transferred receivables is based on the cost of the commercial paper borrowings of the buyers. The loss on the sale of receivables was approximately $0.7 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, respectively, and is included in “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

EQUITY INVESTMENTS:

The Company’s principal equity method investment is its 50% ownership interest in AIM Services Co., Ltd., a Japanese food and support services company (approximately $218.7 million and $212.3 million at January 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009, respectively which is included in “Other Assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

ARAMARK’s equity in undistributed earnings of AIM Services Co., Ltd., net of amortization related to purchase accounting for the Transaction, was $4.8 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009, respectively.

(11)DEVELOPMENTS IN THE UNIFORM AND CAREER APPAREL SEGMENT

During the second quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company initiated a repositioning effort to reduce the cost structure and address the demand softness in the WearGuard direct marketing business. The Company has been exiting a portion of its direct marketing business directed at consumers and very small businesses by the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and migrating its distribution and customization functions from its facilities in Norwell, Massachusetts to its facilities in Salem, Virginia and Reno, Nevada. In addition, the Company has been reducing its headcount in all the businesses in the Uniform and Career Apparel segment. As a result of these actions, the Company recorded a total charge of approximately $34.2 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2009 for severance and other related costs (approximately $8.5 million), inventory write-downs (approximately $18.5 million primarily as a result of the exit from a portion of its direct marketing business and approximately $2.2 million at other businesses within the segment in response to demand softness) and other asset write-downs (approximately $5.0 million, of which $2.0 million related to additional reserves for receivables and $3.0 million related to facility and equipment write-downs). For the three months ended January 1, 2010, the Company recorded an additional facility write-down of approximately $1.5 million. The Company expects to incur additional costs of approximately $0.2 million in association with the repositioning efforts over the next fiscal quarter as the relocation of the WearGuard distribution and operations functions are completed.

In the first and second fiscal quarters, within the “Food and Support Services—North America” segment, historically there has been a lower level of activity at the higher margin sports, entertainment and recreational food service operations which is partly offset by increased activity in the educational operations. However, in the third and fourth fiscal quarters, historically there has been a significant increase at sports, entertainment and recreational accounts which is partially offset by the effect of summer recess on the educational accounts.

Corporate expenses include share-based compensation expense (see Note 8).

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting pronouncement which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This accounting pronouncement became effective for ARAMARK beginning in fiscal 2009 for financial assets and financial liabilities and fiscal 2010 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. The Company adopted this accounting pronouncement for financial assets and financial liabilities in fiscal 2009 (see Note 15). The Company adopted this accounting pronouncement for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the effect of which was not material.

In December 2008, the FASB issued a new accounting pronouncement to provide guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The disclosures about plan assets are required for annual periods only and are effective for ARAMARK in fiscal 2010. The Company is currently evaluating this pronouncement.

In April 2008, the FASB issued a new accounting pronouncement which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The amended guidance is to be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date; however, the disclosure requirements of the amended guidance shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. The Company adopted this accounting pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements as the useful lives of the Company’s intangible assets were not impacted by renewal or extension provisions.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new accounting pronouncement which significantly changes the accounting for business combinations and impacts financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. Under this accounting pronouncement, an acquiring entity is required to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, measured at their fair values as of the acquisition date, with limited exceptions. It further requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred, restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement periods impact income tax expense. The accounting pronouncement also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this accounting pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 (see Note 2).

In December 2007, the FASB issued a new accounting pronouncement which establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Among other matters, it also requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the consolidated statement of income. The presentation and disclosure requirements require retrospective application to all prior periods presented. This accounting pronouncement was effective for ARAMARK in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the effect of which was not material.

In June 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting pronouncement which amends certain requirements for enterprises involved with variable interest entities to improve financial reporting and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. This accounting pronouncement is effective for ARAMARK beginning in fiscal 2011. The Company is currently evaluating this pronouncement.

In June 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting pronouncement regarding transfers of financial assets which eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires enhanced disclosures to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entity’s continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. This accounting pronouncement is effective for ARAMARK beginning in fiscal 2011. The Company is currently evaluating this pronouncement.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment that will require new disclosures about recurring and non-recurring fair-value measurements. The new disclosures include significant transfers into and out of level 1 and 2 measurements and will change the current disclosure requirement of level 3 measurement activity from a net basis to a gross basis. The amendment also clarifies existing disclosure guidance about the level of disaggregation, inputs and valuation techniques. The new and revised disclosures are effective for ARAMARK beginning in fiscal 2011, except for the revised disclosures about level 3 measurement activity, which are not effective for ARAMARK until beginning in fiscal 2012.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Certain of the Company’s lease arrangements, primarily vehicle leases, with terms of one to eight years, contain provisions related to residual value guarantees. The maximum potential liability to ARAMARK under such arrangements was approximately $93.8 million at January 1, 2010 if the terminal fair value of vehicles coming off lease was zero. Consistent with past experience, management does not expect any significant payments will be required pursuant to these arrangements. No amounts have been accrued for guarantee arrangements at January 1, 2010.

From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal actions and investigations involving claims incidental to the conduct of its business, including actions by clients, customers, employees, government entities and third parties, including under federal and state employment laws, wage and hour laws and customs, import and export control laws, environmental laws, false claims statutes and dram shop laws. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, available insurance coverage, established reserves and other resources, the Company does not believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On October 3, 2008, the Company and a subsidiary were served with a complaint in a Qui Tam action filed by Relator Robert Pritsker (which was originally filed on October 30, 2003) naming the Company and certain other companies in its industry in the United States District Court, E.D.PA. and alleging, among other things, that the defendants, including the Company, caused the making of certain false certifications to the federal government of compliance with U.S.D.A. regulations and seeking unspecified damages. The United States declined to join in this action in 2005. On March 6, 2009, in response to motions by all defendants, the Court dismissed this action with prejudice. On April 3, 2009, the Relator filed notice of an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and the appeal was argued on January 15, 2010. The decision is pending. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against these claims.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

are seeking unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. The parties have executed a memorandum of understanding for a full settlement of the matter. The settlement is conditioned on approval by the court. The Company has accrued its best estimate of the settlement amount at January 1, 2010.

(15)

FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES:

In fiscal 2009, the Company adopted the accounting pronouncement for financial assets and liabilities reported at fair value and related disclosures. The cumulative effect of adoption resulted in a reduction to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” of approximately $7.5 million, net of tax, related to considering both the Company’s and the counterparties’ credit risk in the fair value measurement of our interest rate swaps. The pronouncement discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The pronouncement utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

•

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

•

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument

•

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings and derivatives. Management believes that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values. The fair value of the Company’s debt at January 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009 was $5,559.2 million and $5,414.0 million, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s debt at January 1, 2010 and October 2, 2009 was $5,777.4 million and $5,721.7 million, respectively. The fair values were computed using market quotes, if available, or based on discounted cash flows using market interest rates as of the end of the respective periods.

At January 1, 2010, the following financial assets and financial liabilities were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the type of inputs shown (in thousands):

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended January 1, 2010 and January 2, 2009 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, and the notes to those statements, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2009.

Our discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, opinions, expectations, anticipations, intentions and beliefs. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in those forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Special Note About Forward-Looking Statements and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In the following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, certain financial measures may be considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. These rules require supplemental explanation and reconciliation, which is provided elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our fiscal 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. As described in such notes, the Company recognizes sales in the period in which services are provided pursuant to the terms of our contractual relationships with our clients.

In preparing our financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that, among other things, affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are most significant where they involve levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or matters susceptible to change, and where they can have a material impact on our financial condition and operating performance. We discuss below the more significant estimates and related assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. If actual results were to differ materially from the estimates made, the reported results could be materially affected.

Asset Impairment Determinations

Goodwill and trade name are indefinite lived intangible assets that are not amortizable and are subject to an impairment test that we conduct annually or more frequently if a change in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that potential impairment exists, using discounted cash flows. The Company performs its assessment of goodwill at the operating segment level unless specific circumstances require evaluation at a lower level. Within the Food and Support Services—International segment, each country is evaluated separately since such operating units are relatively autonomous and separate goodwill balances have been recorded for each entity.

With respect to our other long-lived assets, we are required to test for asset impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment are present, the Company compares the sum of the future expected cash flows from the asset, undiscounted and without interest charges, to the asset’s carrying value. If the sum of the future expected cash flows from the asset is less than the carrying value, an asset impairment must be recognized in the financial statements. The amount of the impairment is the difference between the fair value of the asset and the carrying value of the asset.

In making future cash flow analyses of various assets, the Company makes assumptions relating to the following:

•

The intended use of assets and the expected future cash flows resulting directly from such use;

•

Comparable market valuations of businesses similar to ARAMARK’s business segments;

•

Industry specific economic conditions;

•

Competitor activities and regulatory initiatives; and

•

Client and customer preferences and behavior patterns.

We believe that an accounting estimate relating to asset impairment is a critical accounting estimate because the assumptions underlying future cash flow estimates are subject to change from time to time and the recognition of an impairment could have a significant impact on our income statement.

Environmental Loss Contingencies

Accruals for environmental loss contingencies (i.e., environmental reserves) are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can reasonably be estimated. Management views the measurement of environmental reserves as a critical accounting estimate because of the considerable uncertainty surrounding estimation, including the need to forecast well into the future. We are involved in legal proceedings under state, federal and local environmental laws in connection with our operations or businesses conducted by our predecessors or companies that we have acquired. The calculation of environmental reserves is based on the evaluation of currently available information, prior experience in the remediation of contaminated sites and assumptions with respect to government regulations and enforcement activity, changes in remediation technology and practices, and financial obligations and creditworthiness of other responsible parties and insurers.

Litigation and Claims

The Company is a party to various legal actions and investigations including, among others, employment matters, compliance with government regulations, including import and export controls and customs laws, federal and state employment laws, including wage and hour laws, immigration laws, human health and safety laws, dram shop laws, environmental laws, false claim statutes, contractual disputes and other matters, including matters arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims may be brought by, among others, the government, clients, customers, employees and third parties. Management considers the measurement of litigation reserves as a critical accounting estimate because of the significant uncertainty in some cases relating to the outcome of potential claims or litigation and the difficulty of predicting the likelihood and range of potential liability involved, coupled with the material impact on our results of operations that could result from litigation or other claims. In determining legal reserves, management considers, among other issues:

•

Interpretation of contractual rights and obligations;

•

The status of government regulatory initiatives, interpretations and investigations;

•

The status of settlement negotiations;

•

Prior experience with similar types of claims;

•

Whether there is available insurance; and

•

Advice of counsel.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We encounter risks associated with sales and the collection of the associated accounts receivable. We record a provision for accounts receivable that are considered to be uncollectible. In order to calculate the appropriate provision, management analyzes the creditworthiness of specific customers and the aging of customer balances. Management also considers general and specific industry economic conditions, industry concentrations, such as exposure to small and medium-sized businesses, the non-profit healthcare sector and the automotive, airline and financial services industries, and contractual rights and obligations. Management believes that the accounting estimate related to the allowance for doubtful accounts is a critical accounting estimate because the underlying assumptions used for the allowance can change from time to time and uncollectible accounts could potentially have a material impact on our results of operations.

Inventory Obsolescence

We record an inventory obsolescence reserve for obsolete, excess and slow-moving inventory, principally in the Uniform and Career Apparel segment. In calculating our inventory obsolescence reserve, management analyzes historical and projected data regarding customer demand within specific product categories and makes assumptions regarding economic conditions within customer specific industries, as well as style and product changes. Management believes that its accounting estimate related to inventory obsolescence is a critical accounting estimate because customer demand in certain of our businesses can be variable and changes in our reserve for inventory obsolescence could materially affect our financial results.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and for deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. We must make assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine our current provision for income taxes and also our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance to be recorded against a deferred tax asset. Our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to the current provision for income taxes take into account current tax laws, our interpretation of current tax laws and possible outcomes of current and future audits conducted by foreign and domestic tax authorities. Changes in tax law or our interpretation of tax laws and the resolution of current and future tax audits could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in our consolidated financial statements. Our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to the amount of deferred income taxes take into account estimates of the amount of future taxable income, and actual operating results in future years could render our current assumptions, judgments and estimates inaccurate. Any of the assumptions, judgments and estimates mentioned above could cause our actual income tax obligations to differ from our estimates.

Generally, accounting standards require companies to provide for income taxes each quarter based on their estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. In the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company applied an estimated annual effective tax rate to the income before income taxes to derive the provision for income taxes for the quarter. The authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes allows an alternative method when, in certain situations, the actual interim period effective tax rate may be used if it provides the best estimate of the annual effective tax rate. The Company applied this alternative method and computed the discrete provision for income taxes for the first quarter in fiscal 2010 based on actual year-to-date results.

Share-Based Compensation

As discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements in our fiscal 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we value our employee stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model uses assumptions of expected volatility, the expected dividend yield of our stock, the expected term of the options and the risk-free interest rate. Since our stock is not publicly traded, the expected volatility is based on an average of the historical volatility of our competitors’ stocks over the expected term of the stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and expected future dividend payouts. The expected term of stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. The expected term was calculated using the simplified method permitted under SEC rules and regulations due to the lack of history. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon the rate applicable to the U.S. Treasury security with a maturity equal to the expected term of the option on the grant date.

As share-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. The authoritative accounting pronouncement for share-based compensation expense requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on our historical experience.

For the Performance-Based Options, management must assess the probability of the achievement of the earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) targets. If the EBIT targets are not probable of achievement, changes in the recognition of share-based compensation expense may occur. Management makes its probability assessments based on the Company’s actual and projected results of operations.

Management believes that the accounting estimate related to the expense of stock options is a critical accounting estimate because the underlying assumptions can change from time to time and, as a result, the compensation expense that we record in future periods may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period with respect to similar instruments.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

In fiscal 2009, the Company adopted the new accounting pronouncement on fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities, which defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This accounting pronouncement does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. It also discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The pronouncement utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

•

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

•

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement

We disclosed the fair values of our assets and liabilities in Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Management believes that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values. The fair value of the Company’s debt was computed using market quotes, if available, or based on discounted cash flows using market interest rates as of the end of the period. The fair values for interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency forward exchange contracts and natural gas, gasoline and diesel fuel hedge agreements are based on quoted market prices from various banks for similar instruments, adjusted for the Company and the counterparties’ credit risk. The Company performs an independent review of these values to determine if they are reasonable. The fair value of our derivative instruments are impacted by changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and the prices of natural gas, gasoline and diesel fuel. The fair value of our undivided retained interest in trade receivables and common stock subject to repurchase are derived principally from unobservable inputs. Management believes that the accounting estimate related to the fair value of our financial assets and financial liabilities is a critical accounting estimate due to its complexity and the significant judgments and estimates involved in determining fair value in the absence of quoted market prices.

*****

Critical accounting estimates and the related assumptions are evaluated periodically as conditions warrant, and changes to such estimates are recorded as new information or changed conditions require revision.

Consolidated Overview

Sales of $3.2 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 represented an increase of 1% over the prior year period. This increase is primarily attributable to the impact of foreign currency translation (approximately 3%) and growth in Higher Education and the Healthcare sector of the Food and Support Services—North America segment, partially offset by the year-over-year impact that the increased unemployment levels and reduced consumer discretionary spending had on our Business & Industry sector and the reduced client employee headcounts had on our Uniform and Career Apparel segment.

Operating income was $145.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $135.6 million in the prior year period, as profit growth in our Education sector and the positive impact of foreign currency translation (approximately 4%) more than offset the decline in our Uniform and Career Apparel segment. In addition, the decrease in our corporate spend, resulting from a decline in share-based compensation expense and cost reduction efforts, contributed to the increase in operating income.

Interest and other financing costs, net, for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased approximately $16.1 million from the prior year period primarily due to lower interest rates. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was 29.5% compared to 21.3% in the prior year period. The Company calculated the provision for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 based on actual year-to-date results. The Company applied an estimated annual effective tax rate to income before income taxes to derive the provision for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $25.7 million compared to $8.2 million in the prior year period.

Food and Support Services—North America Segment

Food and Support Services—North America segment sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 increased 1% over the prior year period, as growth in Higher Education and the Healthcare sector more than offset the decline in the Business & Industry sector. The Business & Industry sector had a mid-single digit sales decline resulting from the year-over-year lower employee population levels at many of our client locations. The Education sector had a mid-single digit sales growth as base business growth in our Higher Education food business was offset somewhat by a decline in K-12 due primarily to lost business during fiscal 2009. The Healthcare sector had mid-single digit sales growth primarily due to net new business growth in both our food and facilities services businesses. The Sports & Entertainment sector had a low-single digit sales decline primarily due to softness in convention centers, cultural attractions and national parks.

Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $111.3 million compared to $104.7 million in the prior year period due to profit growth in our Education sector and the positive effect of foreign currency translation (approximately 2%).

Food and Support Services—International Segment

Sales in the Food and Support Services—International segment for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 increased 8% compared to the prior year period as growth in Chile and Argentina and the positive effect of foreign currency translation (approximately 10%) was partially offset by sales declines in a number of our country operations due to reduced discretionary spending and lower employee population levels as compared to the prior year period.

Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $22.1 million compared to $19.6 million in the prior year period due to the positive effect of foreign currency translation.

Uniform and Career Apparel Segment

Uniform and Career Apparel segment sales decreased 11% for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the prior year period, as our uniform rental business experienced an 11% sales decline resulting primarily from a reduction in the number of uniform wearers at our existing client locations compared to the prior year period.

Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $24.9 million compared to $29.7 million in the prior year period. Operating income was negatively impacted by the decline in sales in both the uniform rental and Galls businesses, with the Galls business generating a small loss for the quarter.

Corporate

Corporate expenses, those administrative expenses not allocated to the business segments, were $12.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $18.4 million for the prior year period, primarily reflecting lower share-based compensation expense related to Performance-Based Options in the current year (see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). In addition, corporate expenses are down due to reduced staff and administrative spending.

OUTLOOK

We anticipate that the current economic environment, including reduced consumer and client spending, reduced headcount at our clients, bankruptcies and companies going out of business and the variability of food and fuel costs, will likely continue to have an impact on our operations, particularly at our business, sports and entertainment and uniform client locations. In response to the lower levels of demand across our more economically sensitive food and facility services businesses, our teams will continue to pursue both revenue enhancements and appropriate cost controls. Our uniform team is focused on managing the business through this environment with a particular focus on appropriately reducing the cost structure, while maintaining high levels of customer service and continued efforts to acquire new customers. Finally, as we experienced during fiscal 2009, to the extent the U.S. dollar fluctuates against other currencies, it could continue to affect the reported results for our international operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Reference to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows will facilitate understanding of the discussion that follows.

Cash used in operating activities was $20.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to $93.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2009. The principal components (in millions) of the net change of $73.2 million were:


• Increase in the total of net income and noncash charges	$	20.9
• Increase in accounts receivable sale proceeds		14.6
• Reduced working capital requirements		39.5
• Other, net		(1.8	)

	$	73.2

The increase in the total of net income and noncash charges results mainly from the higher operating results of the Company, as discussed above. The accounts receivable proceeds increased primarily as a result of timing of funding under the facility in fiscal 2010 whereas the funding was unchanged in fiscal 2009. As expected and consistent with historical patterns, working capital was a use of cash for us during the first quarter. The change in working capital requirements relates principally to changes in Inventory (approximately $18.1 million), primarily due to the inventory reduction efforts in our Uniform and Career Apparel segment, and Accounts Payable (approximately $40.5 million) and Accrued Expenses (approximately $29.9 million) due to timing of disbursements, partially offset by changes in Accounts Receivable (approximately $70.1 million), primarily due to the improvement in collection efforts in fiscal 2009 that created a large source of cash, whereas fiscal 2010 has been cash neutral.

While the global capital markets have experienced adverse conditions, management continues to believe that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, cash flows provided by operating activities and the unused portion of our committed credit availability under our senior secured revolving credit facility (approximately $517.4 million and $514.4 million at January 29, 2010 and January 1, 2010, respectively) will be adequate to meet anticipated cash requirements to fund working capital, capital spending, debt repayments and other cash needs. While we believe we enjoy a strong liquidity position overall, the Company will continue to seek to invest strategically but prudently in certain sectors and geographies. Over time, the Company has repositioned its service portfolio so that today a significant portion of the Food and Support Services operating income in North America comes from sectors such as education, healthcare and corrections, which we believe to be economically less sensitive. In addition, we have worked to further diversify our international business by geography and sector. The Company is closely monitoring its cash flow as well as the condition of the capital markets and cannot predict with any certainty the impact further disruption in these markets may have on the Company.

As of January 1, 2010, the senior secured term loan facility consisted of the following subfacilities: a U.S. dollar denominated term loan to the Company in the amount of $3,041.1 million; a yen denominated term loan to the Company in the amount of ¥5,259.4 million; a U.S. dollar denominated term loan to a Canadian subsidiary in the amount of $164.9 million; a Euro denominated term loan to an Irish subsidiary in an amount of €42.7 million; a sterling denominated term loan to a U.K. subsidiary in an amount of £118.3 million; and a Euro denominated term loan to German subsidiaries in the amount of €67.9 million. As of January 1, 2010, there was approximately $497.3 million outstanding in foreign currency borrowings.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of the facilities management and property management businesses of Veris plc, an Irish company, for consideration of approximately $74.1 million in cash (see Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

Covenant Compliance

The senior secured credit agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to: incur additional indebtedness; issue preferred stock or provide guarantees; create liens on assets; engage in mergers or consolidations; sell assets; pay dividends, make distributions or repurchase our capital stock; make investments, loans or advances; repay or repurchase any notes, except as scheduled or at maturity; create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to us from our restricted subsidiaries; make certain acquisitions; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; amend material agreements governing the notes (or any indebtedness that refinances the notes); and fundamentally change the Company’s business. The indenture governing the 8.50% senior notes due 2015 and the senior floating rate notes due 2015 contains similar provisions. As of January 1, 2010, we were in compliance with these covenants.

Under the senior secured credit agreement and the indenture governing the 8.50% senior notes due 2015 and the senior floating rate notes due 2015, we are required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests and covenants. Our continued ability to meet those financial ratios, tests and covenants can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet those ratios, tests and covenants.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest and other financing costs, net, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, further adjusted to give effect to adjustments required in calculating covenant ratios and compliance under our senior secured credit agreement and the indenture. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP, are not measures of financial performance or condition, liquidity or profitability, and should not be considered as an alternative to (1) net income, operating income or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP or (2) operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements.

Our presentation of EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information about the calculation of certain financial covenants in the senior secured credit agreement and the indenture. Adjusted EBITDA is a material component of these covenants. For instance, our senior secured credit agreement and the indenture contain financial ratios that are calculated by reference to Adjusted EBITDA. Non-compliance with the maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio contained in our senior secured credit agreement could result in the requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under such agreement, while non-compliance with the Interest Coverage Ratio contained in our senior secured credit agreement and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio contained in the indenture could prohibit us from being able to incur additional indebtedness, other than the additional funding provided for under the senior secured credit agreement and pursuant to specified exceptions, and make certain restricted payments.

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss), which is a GAAP measure of our operating results, to Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our debt agreements. The terms and related calculations are defined in the senior secured credit agreement and indenture.

(1)	Represents share-based compensation expense resulting from the application of accounting for stock options and deferred stock unit awards (see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

(2)	Represents charges for the repositioning of the Uniform and Career Apparel segment (see Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

(3)

Represents our estimated share of EBITDA from our AIM Services Co., Ltd. equity method investment not already reflected in our EBITDA. EBITDA for this equity method investee is calculated in a manner consistent with consolidated EBITDA but does not represent cash distributions received from this investee.

(4)	Represents the annualizing of estimated EBITDA from acquisitions made during the period.

(5)

Other includes certain other miscellaneous items (the three months ended October 2, 2009 and the three months ended April 3, 2009 include approximately $10.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of severance and other related costs incurred in the Food and Support Services—North American and Food and Support Services—International segments).

Our covenant requirements and actual ratios for the twelve months ended January 1, 2010 are as follows:


	Covenant Requirements	Actual Ratios
Maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio (1)	5.25x	3.70x
Interest Coverage Ratio (Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) (2)	2.00x	2.36x

(1)

Our senior secured credit agreement requires us to maintain a maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio, defined as consolidated total indebtedness secured by a lien to Adjusted EBITDA, of 5.875x, being reduced over time to 4.25x by the end of 2013. Consolidated total indebtedness secured by a lien is defined in the senior secured credit agreement as total indebtedness outstanding under the senior secured credit agreement, capital leases, advances under the Receivables Facility and any other indebtedness secured by a lien reduced by the lesser of the amount of cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet that is free and clear of any lien and $75 million. Non-compliance with the maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio could result in the requirement to immediately repay all amounts outstanding under such agreement, which, if our lenders failed to waive any such default, would also constitute a default under our indenture.

(2)

Our senior secured credit agreement establishes an incurrence-based minimum Interest Coverage Ratio, defined as Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense, the achievement of which is a condition for us to incur additional indebtedness and to make certain restricted payments. If we do not maintain this minimum Interest Coverage Ratio calculated on a pro forma basis for any such additional indebtedness or restricted payments, we could be prohibited from being able to incur additional indebtedness, other than the additional funding provided for under the senior secured credit agreement and pursuant to specified exceptions, and make certain restricted payments, other than pursuant to certain exceptions. The minimum Interest Coverage Ratio is 2.00x for the term of the senior secured credit agreement. Consolidated interest expense is defined in the senior secured credit agreement as consolidated interest expense excluding interest income, adjusted for acquisitions (including the Transaction) and dispositions, further adjusted for certain non-cash or nonrecurring interest expense and our estimated share of interest expense from one equity method investee. The indenture includes a similar requirement which is referred to as a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.

The Company and its subsidiaries, affiliates or significant shareholders may from time to time, in their sole discretion, purchase, repay, redeem or retire any of the Company’s outstanding debt securities (including any publicly issued debt securities), in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.

The Company has an agreement (the Receivables Facility) with several financial institutions whereby it sells on a continuous basis an undivided interest in all eligible trade accounts receivable, as defined in the Receivables Facility. The maximum amount of the facility is $250 million. Pursuant to the Receivables Facility, the Company formed ARAMARK Receivables, LLC, a wholly-owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. ARAMARK Receivables, LLC was formed for the sole purpose of buying and selling receivables generated by certain subsidiaries of the Company. Under the Receivables Facility, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries transfer without recourse all of their accounts receivable to ARAMARK Receivables, LLC. ARAMARK Receivables, LLC, in turn, has sold and, subject to certain conditions, may from time to time sell an undivided interest in these receivables. As collections reduce previously sold interests, interests in new, eligible receivables can be sold, subject to meeting certain conditions. This two-step transaction is accounted for as a sale of receivables following the provisions of the authoritative accounting guidance.

The Company’s business activities do not include the use of unconsolidated special purpose entities, and there are no significant business transactions that have not been reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Company is self-insured for a limited portion of the risk retained under its general liability and workers’ compensation arrangements. Self-insurance reserves are recorded based on actuarial analyses.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Our business is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations governing, among other things, the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of water wastes and other substances. We engage in informal settlement discussions with federal, state and local authorities regarding allegations of violations of environmental laws at operations primarily relating to our uniform rental segment or to businesses conducted by our predecessors, the aggregate amount of which and related remediation costs we do not believe should have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

From time to time, we are a party to various legal actions and investigations involving claims incidental to the conduct of our business, including actions by clients, customers, employees, government entities and third parties, including under federal and state employment laws, wage and hour laws, immigration laws, customs, import and export control laws, environmental laws, false claims statutes and dram shop laws. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, available insurance coverage, established reserves and other resources, we do not believe that any such current actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material

to our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On July 29, 2009, Genaro Zendejas Morales, a former employee of the Company, and Ricky Silva and Cristian Sanchez, current employees of ARAMARK Sports, LLC, filed a proposed class action complaint against the Company, ARAMARK Sports, Inc., and ARAMARK Sports, LLC in the United States District Court, Central District of California. The complaint, as filed, purports to assert class claims that defendants did not pay all monies due under California wage and hour laws. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief. The parties have executed a memorandum of understanding for a full settlement of the matter. The settlement is conditioned on approval by the court.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that reflect our current views as to future events and financial performance with respect to our operations. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “are confident,” “estimate,” “expect,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and other words and terms of similar meaning in conjunction with a discussion of future operating or financial performance.

These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include: unfavorable economic conditions, including ramifications of any future terrorist attacks or increased security alert levels; increased operating costs, including increased food costs, labor-related, energy or product sourcing and distribution costs; shortages of qualified personnel or increases in labor costs; costs and possible effects of further unionization of our workforce; currency risks and other risks associated with international markets; risks associated with acquisitions, including acquisition integration issues and costs; our ability to integrate and derive the expected benefits from our recent acquisitions; competition; a decline in attendance at client facilities; the unpredictability of sales and expenses due to contract terms and terminations; the impact of natural disasters or a flu pandemic on our sales and operating results; the risk that clients may become insolvent; the risk that our insurers may become insolvent or may liquidate; the contract intensive nature of our business, which may lead to client disputes; high leverage; claims relating to the provision of food services; costs of compliance with governmental regulations and government investigations; liability associated with noncompliance with our business conduct policy and governmental regulations, including regulations pertaining to food services, the environment, the Federal school lunch program, Federal and state employment and wage and hour laws, immigration laws, human health and safety laws and import and export controls and customs laws; dram shop compliance and litigation; contract compliance and administration issues, inability to retain current clients and renew existing client contracts; a determination by customers to reduce their outsourcing and use of preferred vendors; seasonality; our competitor’s activities or announced planned activities; the effect on our operations of increased leverage and limitations on our flexibility as a result of increased restrictions in our debt agreements; potential future conflicts of interest between our Sponsors and other stakeholders; the impact on our business if we are unable to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness; the inability of our subsidiaries to generate enough cash flow to repay our debt; risks related to the structuring of our debt; our potential inability to repurchase our notes upon a change of control; and other risks that are set forth in the “Risk Factors,” “Legal Proceedings” and “Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections and other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect the events or circumstances arising after the date as of which they are made. As a result of these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this report or that may be made in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or elsewhere from time to time by, or on behalf of, us.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and manage this exposure through the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing interest rate swaps. We do not enter into contracts for trading purposes and do not use leveraged instruments. The market risk associated with debt obligations as of January 1, 2010 has not materially changed from October 2, 2009 (See Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 2, 2009). See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the Company’s derivative instruments.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Company’s first fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
