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 210.4 million common shares issued and approximately 203.3 million common shares outstanding as of April 1, 2011.

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 1, 2010. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 1, 2010 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 applied an estimated annual effective tax rate to the provision for income taxes for the second quarter and six month period of fiscal 2011. The Company calculated the provision (benefit) for income taxes for the second quarter and six month period of fiscal 2010 based on actual year-to-date results.

ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES:

Fiscal 2011

On March 18, 2011, ARAMARK Clinical Technology Services, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, purchased the common stock of the ultimate parent company of Masterplan, a clinical technology management and medical equipment maintenance company, for cash consideration of approximately $154.5 million. Also acquired in the transaction were ReMedPar, an independent provider of sourced and refurbished medical equipment parts, and MESA, an integrated repair and maintenance services provider in 12 European countries.

The Company followed the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting standard related to business combinations. The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition, 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. Inventory, 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 and the cost savings and synergies the Company expects to realize in its clinical technology services business. 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—North America segment.

For the three and six months ended April 1, 2011, $3.9 million of sales and ($0.2) million of net loss were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in both periods related to the acquisition.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company completed the sale of its 67% ownership interest in the security business of its Chilean subsidiary for approximately $10 million in cash and future consideration of approximately $4 million. The transaction resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $6.4 million (net of tax gain of approximately $4.8 million), which is included in “Cost of services provided” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The results of operations and cash flows associated with the security business were not material to the Company’s consolidated operations and cash flows.

Fiscal 2010

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 $74.3 million in cash and the assumption of a pension liability of approximately $1.2 million.

(4)

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS):

Comprehensive income includes all changes to shareholder’s equity during a period, except those resulting from investment by and distributions to shareholders. Components of comprehensive income include net income (loss), changes in foreign currency translation adjustments (net of tax), pension plan adjustments (net of tax) and changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges (net of tax). Total comprehensive income for the three and six months ended April 1, 2011 was approximately $52.7 million and $109.1 million, respectively.

of tax) of approximately $32.9 million and $24.4 million, respectively, and fair value of cash flow hedges (net of tax) of approximately ($80.6) million and ($123.0) million, respectively.

(5)

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. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $5.3 million in the Food and Support Services—International segment in order to write off all of the goodwill (approximately $4.0 million) and other intangible assets (approximately $1.3 million) associated with its India operations. The impairment charge is included in “Cost of services provided” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impairment charge primarily resulted from a change in the strategic direction of the business and continuing operating losses due to competitive pressures. To determine the amount of the impairment charge, the Company concluded that the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value of the India operating unit. The Company estimated the fair value using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology, which included making assumptions about the future profitability and cash flows of the business. Changes in total goodwill during the six months ended April 1, 2011 follow (in thousands):

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:

The Company enters into derivative contractual arrangements to manage changes in market conditions related to interest on 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. 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. 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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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

As of April 1, 2011, the Company has outstanding $3.0 billion 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. As of April 1, 2011 and October 1, 2010, approximately ($75.5) million and ($114.4) million of unrealized net of tax losses related to the interest rate swaps were included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” respectively. The hedge ineffectiveness for these cash flow hedging instruments during the six months ended April 1, 2011 and April 2, 2010 was immaterial.

The Company previously 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. During the six months ended April 1, 2011 and April 2, 2010, approximately ($5.2) million and ($8.3) million of unrealized losses, net of tax, related to the swap were added to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” respectively. Approximately $7.1 million and $7.7 million were reclassified to offset net translation gains on the foreign currency denominated debt during the six months ended April 1, 2011 and April 2, 2010, respectively. As of April 1, 2011 and October 1, 2010, unrealized net of tax losses of approximately ($6.7) million and ($8.6) million 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 six months ended April 1, 2011 and April 2, 2010 was immaterial.

The Company enters 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 April 1, 2011, the Company had no outstanding natural gas hedge agreements. As of April 1, 2011 and October 1, 2010, $0 and approximately ($0.1) million of unrealized net of tax losses were recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” for these contracts, respectively. There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the six months ended April 1, 2011 and April 2, 2010.

The Company enters 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 April 1, 2011, the Company has contracts for approximately 3.7 million gallons outstanding for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012 that are designated as cash flow hedging instruments. During the six months ended April 1, 2011, the Company entered into contracts totaling approximately 2.0 million gallons. As of April 1, 2011 and October 1, 2010, unrealized net of tax gains of approximately $1.6 million and $0.1 million were recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” for these contracts, respectively. The hedge ineffectiveness for the gasoline and diesel fuel hedging instruments for the six months ended April 1, 2011 and April 2, 2010 was immaterial.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

As of April 1, 2011, the Company had foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding with notional amounts of €52.6 million, £20.5 million and CAD63.0 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, which are included in “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net.”

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 April 1, 2011 and October 1, 2010 was $198.3 million and $184.7 million, which is based on approximately 12.6 million and 12.9 million shares of common stock of the Parent Company valued at $15.80 and $14.27 per share, respectively. The fair value of our common stock subject to repurchase is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques and comparable public company trading multiples. During the six months ended April 1, 2011 and April 2, 2010, approximately $19.7 million and $12.1 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 and six months ended April 1, 2011, share-based compensation expense was approximately $3.0 million, before taxes of $1.2 million, and approximately $6.4 million, before taxes of $2.5 million, respectively. During

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

the three and six months ended April 2, 2010, share-based compensation expense was approximately $11.4 million, before taxes of $4.4 million, and approximately $17.0 million, before taxes of $6.6 million, respectively.

Stock Options

Time-Based Options

The compensation cost charged to expense during the three and six months ended April 1, 2011 for Time-Based Options was approximately $2.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The compensation cost charged to expense during the three and six months ended April 2, 2010 for Time-Based Options was approximately $4.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively.

Performance-Based Options

During the three and six months ended April 1, 2011, $0 was charged to expense for Performance-Based Options. During the three and six months ended April 2, 2010, approximately $7.0 million and $9.8 million was charged to expense for Performance-Based Options, respectively. 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 vested when the time-based vesting requirement of such options was 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. On March 1, 2010, the Parent Company Board approved new annual and cumulative EBIT targets for fiscal 2011 and beyond. Approximately 0.8 million options were affected by the new annual and cumulative EBIT targets for fiscal 2011 and beyond. The fair value of these Performance-Based Options were revalued at the award modification date in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance.

Deferred Stock Units

The Company granted 28,480 deferred stock units during the six months ended April 1, 2011. The compensation cost charged to expense during the three and six months ended April 1, 2011 for deferred stock units was approximately $0.4 million in each period. The Company granted 28,490 deferred stock units during the six months ended April 2, 2010. The compensation cost charged to expense during the three and six months ended April 2, 2010 for deferred stock units was approximately $0.4 million in each period.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION:

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, which expires in January 2013. 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. As collections reduce previously transferred interests, interests in new, eligible receivables are transferred to ARAMARK Receivables, LLC, subject to meeting certain conditions.

Prior to October 2, 2010, the funding transactions under the Receivables Facility were accounted for as a sale of receivables under the provisions of the authoritative accounting guidance. At October 1, 2010, the Company retained an undivided interest in the transferred receivables of approximately $253.3 million and approximately $220.9 million of accounts receivable were sold and removed from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. 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 October 1, 2010. 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.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company adopted the new authoritative accounting guidance regarding transfers of financial assets. On a prospective basis, the Company is required to report its receivables securitization facility as a secured borrowing instead of as a sale of receivables. The impact of the new accounting treatment upon adoption resulted in the recognition of both the receivables securitized under the program and the borrowings they collateralize on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which led to a $220.9 million increase in “Receivables” and “Long-Term Borrowings.” At April 1, 2011, the amount of outstanding borrowings under the Receivables Facility was $245.7 million and is included in “Long-Term Borrowings.” The Company’s debt covenants are not impacted by the balance sheet recognition of the secured borrowings, as borrowings under the Receivables Facility were always considered borrowings in the debt covenant calculations. Additionally, the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows during fiscal 2011 reflects the final remittance of cash associated with the $220.9 million of receivables sold at October 1, 2010 and subsequently collected by the Company on behalf of the bank conduits as an operating cash outflow. Any subsequent borrowing activity with the bank conduits will now be treated as financing cash flows, which

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

was $245.7 million during the six months ended April 1, 2011. The overall effect on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows was a reduction in cash from operating activities and an increase in cash from financing activities, whereas under the previous guidance, these cash flows were presented net as cash from operating activities.

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.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, management modified the segment reporting structure to align the segment reporting more closely with the Company’s management and internal reporting structure. Specifically, the Mexican operations have been combined with the Food and Support Services—North America segment. Previously, the Mexican operations were included in the Food and Support Services—International segment. All prior period segment information has been restated to reflect the new reporting structure. Management believes this new presentation enhances the utility of the segment information, as it reflects the Company’s current management structure and operating organization. The financial effect of this segment realignment was not material.

Food and Support Services—North America operating income for the six months ended April 1, 2011 includes other income recognized of $7.8 million related to a compensation agreement signed with the National Park Service (NPS) under which the NPS has agreed to pay down a portion of the Company’s investment (possessory interest) in certain assets at one of the Company’s NPS sites in the Sports & Entertainment sector, severance related expenses of $2.6 million and a favorable risk insurance adjustment of $0.9 million related to favorable claims experience.

Food and Support Services—International operating income for the three and six months ended April 1, 2011 includes a gain of $6.4 million related to the divestiture of the Company’s 67% ownership interest in the security business of its Chilean subsidiary (see Note 2) in both periods, favorable non-income tax settlements in the U.K. of $5.3 million in both periods, a goodwill and other intangible assets impairment charge of $5.3 million related to our India operations (see Note 5) in both periods and severance related expenses of $2.9 million and $9.7 million, respectively. Operating income for the three and six months ended April 2, 2010 includes favorable non-income tax settlements in the U.K. of $0.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

Uniform and Career Apparel operating income for the three and six months ended April 1, 2011 includes a gain of $2.6 million related to a property settlement pursuant to an eminent domain claim. Uniform and Career Apparel operating income for the six months ended April 1, 2011 also includes a favorable risk insurance adjustment of $4.8 million related to favorable claims experience and severance related expenses of $1.3 million.

Corporate expenses for the six months ended April 1, 2011 include severance related expenses of $1.0 million and share-based compensation expense (see Note 8).

Interest and Other Financing Costs, net, for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2011 includes interest income of approximately $14.1 million in both periods related to favorable non-income tax settlements in the U.K. For the three and six months of fiscal 2010, Interest and Other Financing Costs, net, includes $8.3 million in both periods of third-

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD UPDATES:

In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard update 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. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the effect of which was not material.

In June 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard update 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. The Company adopted this accounting standard update in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, which impacts the Company’s accounting for its Receivables Facility (see Note 9).

In January 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update 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 standard also clarifies existing disclosure guidance about the level of disaggregation, inputs and valuation techniques. The new and revised disclosures were effective for ARAMARK in fiscal 2010, except for the revised disclosures about level 3 measurement activity, which are not effective for ARAMARK until beginning in fiscal 2012 (see Note 14). The new standard impacts disclosures only and has no impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure impact on level 3 measurement activity.

In July 2010, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that will require new disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. The enhanced disclosures are intended to improve financial statement users’ understanding of the nature of credit risk associated in a company’s financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed in determining the related allowance for credit losses and changes to the allowance during the reporting period. The Company adopted this standard for disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the effect of which was not material. The Company adopted the disclosures about the activity in the allowance for credit losses in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the effect of which was not material.

In December 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. The new guidance requires that pro forma financial information should be prepared as if the business combination occurred as of the beginning of the prior annual period. The guidance is effective for the Company for business combinations with acquisition dates occurring in fiscal 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this authoritative guidance in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 (see Note 2).

(13)

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 the Company under such arrangements was approximately $87.5 million at April 1, 2011 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 April 1, 2011.

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, immigration laws, human health and safety laws, import and export controls and customs laws, environmental laws, false claims statutes, contractual disputes, antitrust and competition laws 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.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES:

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are classified based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The hierarchical levels related to the subjectivity of the valuation inputs are defined as follows:

•

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

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

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 April 1, 2011 and October 1, 2010 was $5,789.4 million and $5,290.1 million, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s debt at April 1, 2011 and October 1, 2010 was $5,738.7 million and $5,401.8 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. The increase in the carrying value of the Company’s debt is primarily due to the adoption of the new accounting standards update on transfers of financial assets as the Company’s sale of eligible receivables are now accounted for as secured borrowings (see Note 9).

At April 1, 2011 and October 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):

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $5.3 million in the Food and Support Services—International segment for all of the goodwill (approximately $4.0 million) and other intangible assets (approximately $1.3 million) associated with its India operations. These nonrecurring fair value measurements were developed using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The fair values were computed using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology (see Note 5).

SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

On April 18, 2011, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that extends, from January 2013 to January 2015, the maturity of, and increases, from $435 million to $500 million, the U.S. Dollar denominated portion of its existing revolving credit facility. The other revolving credit facilities available to the Company under its existing senior secured credit agreement, which total $165 million and are available in both U.S. dollars and other foreign currencies, were not extended and remain unchanged. Any commitments from existing lenders in the U.S. dollar facility that were not extended have been terminated. Existing lenders that extended the U.S. Dollar denominated portion of their existing revolving credit facility include entities affiliated with GS Capital Partners and J.P. Morgan Partners. As a result of the extension, the Company’s aggregate revolver capacity under the senior secured credit agreement will be $665 million through January 2013 and $500 million from January 2013 through the January 2015 extended maturity date. From and after the effective date of the Amendment Agreement, borrowings under the new U.S. revolving facility have an applicable margin of 3.25% for Eurocurrency rate borrowings and 2.25% for base-rate borrowings. The new U.S. revolving facility has an unused commitment fee of 0.50% per annum. The maturity date of the U.S. revolving facility will accelerate from January 26, 2015 to October 26, 2013 if non-extended term loans in excess of $250 million remain outstanding on October 26, 2013. The non-extended term loans are due on January 26, 2014. In addition, the maturity date of the new U.S. revolving facility will accelerate to October 31, 2014 if any of the Company’s senior fixed rate notes due 2015 or senior floating rate notes due 2015 remain outstanding on October 31, 2014. The Company’s senior fixed rate notes due 2015 and senior floating rate notes due 2015 mature on February 1, 2015. All other terms are substantially similar to the terms of the existing revolving credit facilities. Commitment fees and third party costs directly attributable to the amendment were approximately $7.2 million, of which approximately $3.9 million were paid to entities affiliated with GS Capital Partners and J.P. Morgan Partners.

In addition, on April 18, 2011, the Parent Company completed a private placement of $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.625% / 9.375% Senior Notes due 2016. The senior notes are obligations of the Parent Company. The senior notes are not guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries, including trade payables, the senior secured revolving credit facility, the senior secured term loan facility, 8.50% Senior Notes due 2015, Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2015 and 5.00% Senior Notes due 2012. The Parent Company is obligated to pay interest on the senior notes in cash to the extent the Company has sufficient capacity to distribute such amounts to the Parent Company under the covenants relating to its outstanding indebtedness, including the senior secured revolving credit facility, the senior secured term loan facility, the 8.50% Senior Notes due 2015 and the Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2015. The Parent Company used the net proceeds from the offering of its Senior Notes due 2016, along with $132.6 million in borrowings by the Company under the extended U.S. Dollar revolving credit facility, which were paid as dividends to the Parent Company through ARAMARK Intermediate Holdco Corporation, to make an approximately $711 million dividend to the Parent Company’s stockholders and to pay fees and expenses related to the issuance of Parent Company Senior Notes due 2016. Third party costs directly attributable to the Senior Notes due 2016 were

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 and six months ended April 1, 2011 and April 2, 2010 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 1, 2010.

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 2010 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. Revenues from direct marketing activities are recognized upon shipment.

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 condensed 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 the ARAMARK and SeamlessWeb trade names 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 reporting unit 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 impairment would be recognized for the difference between the estimated fair value 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 consolidated statement of operations.

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 federal, state, local and foreign 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 results of operations.

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 consolidated 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.

Share-Based Compensation

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 Operations 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 Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

•

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 disclose the fair values of our assets and liabilities in Note 14 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 the Company’s 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 common stock subject to repurchase is 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.

Accounts Receivable Securitization

In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company adopted the new authoritative accounting guidance regarding transfers of financial assets. On a prospective basis, the Company is required to report its receivables securitization facility as a secured borrowing. The impact of the new accounting treatment upon adoption resulted in the recognition of both the receivables securitized under the program and the borrowings they collateralize on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Prior to October 2, 2010, the funding transactions under the Receivables Facility were accounted for as a sale of receivables under the provisions of the authoritative accounting guidance. The Company’s debt covenants are not impacted by the balance sheet recognition of the secured borrowings, as borrowings under the Receivables Facility were always considered borrowings in the debt covenant calculations. Additionally, the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows during fiscal 2011 reflect the final remittance of cash associated with the $220.9 million of receivables sold at October 1, 2010 and subsequently collected by the Company on behalf of the bank conduits as an operating cash outflow. Any subsequent borrowing activity with the bank conduits will now be treated as financing cash flows. The overall effect on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows was a reduction in cash from operating activities and an increase in cash from financing activities, whereas under the previous guidance, these cash flows were presented net as cash from operating activities (see Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

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.

Consolidated Overview

Sales of $3.3 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and $6.6 billion for the six month period represented an increase of 5% in both periods. This increase is attributable to growth in the Education, Business & Industry and Healthcare sectors of our Food and Support Services—North America segment, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Chile, Argentina and China in our Food and Support Services—International segment and the uniform rental and Galls businesses in our Uniform and Career Apparel segment. This increase more than offset the sales decline in our Sports & Entertainment sector in our Food and Support Services—North America segment and in the U.K. and Korea in our Food and Support Services—International segment. The positive impact of acquisitions and foreign currency translation was 1% in both periods.

Operating income was $122.9 million and $286.7 million for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2011 compared to $97.8 million and $243.3 million for the prior year periods, respectively. The second quarter of fiscal 2011 includes a gain on the sale of the Company’s 67% ownership interest in the security business of its Chilean subsidiary, favorable non-income tax settlements in the U.K., a goodwill and other intangible assets impairment charge and severance related charges, which net to income in the quarter of approximately $1.9 million. The six month period of fiscal 2011 includes the items mentioned above and other income related to a compensation agreement signed with the National Park Service (NPS) under which the NPS has agreed to pay down a portion of our investment (possessory interest) in certain assets at one of our NPS sites in our Sports & Entertainment sector and a favorable risk insurance adjustment, which net to income for the six month period of approximately $5.3 million. Operating income for the three and six months of fiscal 2011 also benefited from profit growth in the Healthcare sector and the Higher Education and Galls businesses, operational efficiencies in our uniform rental business and the positive impact of foreign currency translation (approximately 3% and 1%, respectively), which more than offset the profit decline in our Business & Industry sector.

Interest and other financing costs, net, for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2011 decreased approximately $25.1 million and $25.0 million from the prior year periods, respectively, primarily due to lower debt levels, the increase in interest income related to the $14.1 million of favorable non-income tax settlements in the U.K. recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and $8.3 million of third-party costs incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 related to the amendment that extended $1,407.4 million of outstanding U.S. denominated term loan. These decreases were partially offset by the increase in interest rates mainly due to the amendment that extended $1,407.4 million of outstanding U.S. denominated term loan in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was 32.4% compared to 51.3%

in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the six months of fiscal 2011 was 30.6% compared to 2.7% in the prior year period. The Company calculated the provision (benefit) for income taxes for the second quarter and six month period of fiscal 2011 using an estimated annual effective tax rate compared to using actual year-to-date results for the second quarter and six month period of fiscal 2010.

Net income (loss) for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2011 was $20.4 million and $58.8 million, compared to ($9.8) million and $15.9 million in the prior year periods, respectively.

Food and Support Services—North America Segment

Food and Support Services—North America segment sales for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2011 increased 5% and 4% over the prior year periods, respectively, as growth in the Education, Business & Industry and Healthcare sectors more than offset the decline in the Sports & Entertainment sector. The Business & Industry sector had low-single digit sales growth for the second quarter and for the six month period of fiscal 2011 resulting from base business growth in our food and facilities services businesses. The Education sector had high-single digit sales growth for the second quarter and six month period of fiscal 2011 due to base and net new business growth in our Higher Education and K-12 food and facilities services businesses. In our Healthcare sector, we had mid-single digit sales growth for second quarter and low-single digit sales growth for the six month period of fiscal 2011, primarily due to base business growth across the sector. Our Sports & Entertainment sector had a low-single digit sales decline for the second quarter and mid-single digit sales decline for the six month period of fiscal 2011 as growth in our National Hockey League venues and Convention Centers business was more than offset by sales in the prior year related to the Winter Olympics and the impact of prior year lost business related to the National Football League.

Operating income in the Food and Support Services—North America segment was $88.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $82.0 million in the prior year period as profit growth in Higher Education and the Healthcare sector and the positive impact of foreign currency translation (approximately 2%) more than offset the profit decline in the Business & Industry sector. Operating income in the Food and Support Services—North America segment was $216.8 million for the six month period of fiscal 2011 compared to $193.0 million in the prior year period as profit growth in Higher Education and the Healthcare sector, the positive impact of foreign currency translation (approximately 1%) and other income recognized of $7.8 million related to a compensation agreement signed with the National Park Service (NPS) under which the NPS has agreed to pay down a portion of our investment (possessory interest) in certain assets at one of our NPS sites in our Sports & Entertainment sector more than offset the profit decline in our Business & Industry sector.

Food and Support Services—International Segment

Sales in the Food and Support Services—International segment for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2011 were $677.3 million and $1.3 billion, an increase of 9% and 7% compared to the prior year periods, respectively. The increase is

attributable to the growth in Ireland, Germany, Spain, Chile, Argentina and China, which more than offset the sales decline in the U.K. and Korea. In addition, foreign currency translation had a positive impact on sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 of approximately 2% and a negative impact on sales for the six month period of fiscal 2011 of approximately -1%.

Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $19.9 million, up 17% from the prior year quarter as a gain on the sale of the Company’s 67% ownership interest in the security business of its Chilean subsidiary and favorable non-income tax settlements in the U.K. more than offset the goodwill and other intangible assets impairment charge related to our India operations and severance related charges, which net to income in the quarter of approximately $3.5 million. Operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 also benefited from the positive impact of foreign currency translation (approximately 6%) and the prior year charges related to the earthquake in Chile (approximately $1.9 million). For the six month period of fiscal 2011, operating income was $32.5 million, down 18% over the prior year period primarily due to profit declines in the U.K. and Chile. In addition, severance related charges and the goodwill and other intangible assets impairment charge related to our India operations more than offset the gain on the sale of our 67% ownership interest in a security business in our Chilean subsidiary and favorable non-income tax settlements in the U.K., which net to a loss in the six month period of approximately $3.3 million.

Uniform and Career Apparel Segment

In the Uniform and Career Apparel segment, sales for the three and six month periods of fiscal 2011 were $372.2 million and $756.1 million, up 3% and 2% from the prior year periods, respectively, primarily due to growth in our uniform rental and direct marketing businesses.

Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 was $25.8 million compared to $18.1 million in the prior year period. For the six month period of fiscal 2011, operating income was $60.3 million compared to $43.0 million in the prior year period. Operating income in both periods was positively impacted by operational efficiencies across the segment profit growth in our Galls business and a gain of $2.6 million related to a property settlement pursuant to an eminent domain claim. Operating income in the six month period of fiscal 2011 benefited from a favorable risk insurance adjustment of $4.8 million related to favorable claims experience.

Corporate

Corporate expenses, those administrative expenses not allocated to the business segments, were $11.2 million for the three month period of fiscal 2011, compared to $19.3 million in the prior year period. For the six month period of fiscal 2011, corporate expenses were $22.9 million compared to $32.1 million for the prior year period. The decrease is mainly due to the decrease in share-based compensation expense related to Performance-Based Options (see Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements) offset by charges for headcount reductions.

*****

We continue to see signs of stabilization in our more economically sensitive food and facility services businesses and in our uniform business. However, we have not yet seen an increase in employee population levels at most of our client locations, which is needed for sustainable future growth. The recent earthquake and related tsunami in Japan did not have a material impact on the results of operations for the quarterly period ended April 1, 2011 of our joint venture, AIM Services Co., Ltd. The financial impact resulting directly from operating units closed as a result of the earthquake and tsunami is not expected to be significant for the remainder of the fiscal year. However, we are still assessing the indirect impact that this natural disaster is having on the Japanese economy and business operations in country and how that may impact our joint venture and our results of operations in the second half of the fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities was ($125.5) million in the fiscal 2011 six month period compared to $182.2 million in the comparable six month period of fiscal 2010. The principal components (in millions) of the net change of $307.7 million were:


• Increase in the total of net income and noncash charges	$	46.7
• Decrease in accounts receivable sale proceeds		(229.5	)
• Increased working capital requirements		(93.4	)
• Other, net		(31.5	)

	$	(307.7	)

The increase in the total of net income and noncash charges results mainly from the overall growth of the business and higher operating results of the Company, as discussed above. Cash flows used in operating activities include an increase in accounts receivable of $220.9 million associated with the Company’s adoption of the new authoritative accounting guidance related to the transfer of financial assets in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 (see Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Effective October 2, 2010, the periodic transfers of undivided interests in accounts receivable no longer qualify for sale accounting treatment in accordance with the new accounting guidance and are now accounted for as secured

borrowings. Cash flows after October 2, 2010 associated with the Receivables Facility are presented as financing activities. During the six months ended April 1, 2011, the Company’s accounts receivable increased by $220.9 million resulting in a cash outflow being reported in the operating section of the cash flow statement and the secured borrowings associated with the Receivables Facility increased by $245.7 million resulting in a cash inflow being reported in the financing section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. As expected and consistent with historical patterns, working capital was a use of cash for us during the first half of fiscal 2011. The change in working capital requirements relates principally to changes in Accounts Receivable (approximately $32.9 million), primarily due to the overall growth of the business and timing of collections, Inventory (approximately $23.0 million) due to growth of the business and Accrued Expenses (approximately $33.1 million) due to an increase in payment of employee compensation liabilities compared to the prior year period and timing of customer advanced payments and commissions. The “Other, net” caption reflects adjustments to net income related to nonoperating gains and losses.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, ARAMARK Clinical Technology Services, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, purchased the common stock of the ultimate parent company of Masterplan, a clinical technology management and medical equipment maintenance company, for cash consideration of approximately $154.5 million (see Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Also acquired in the transaction were ReMedPar, an independent provider of sourced and refurbished medical equipment parts, and MESA, an integrated repair and maintenance services provider in 12 European countries. 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 $74.3 million in cash. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company completed the sale of the Company’s 67% ownership interest in a security business in its Chilean subsidiary for approximately $10 million in cash and future consideration of approximately $4 million.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company received proceeds of $7.8 million related to a compensation agreement signed with the National Park Service (NPS) under which the NPS has agreed to pay down a portion of our investment (possessory interest) in certain assets at one of our NPS sites in our Sports & Entertainment sector. During the six months ended April 2, 2010, approximately $8.3 million of third-party costs directly attributable to the amendment that extended $1,407.4 million of outstanding U.S. denominated term loan were expensed and included in “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Approximately $7.5 million of the third-party costs were paid to entities affiliated with GS Capital Partners and J.P. Morgan Partners.

Management believes that the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and the unused portion of our committed credit availability under our senior secured revolving credit facility (approximately $399.2 million and $507.8 million at April 29, 2011 and April 1, 2011, respectively) will be adequate to meet anticipated cash requirements to fund working capital, capital spending, debt service obligations 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 operating income in our Food and Support Services—North America segment comes from sectors such as education, healthcare and corrections, which we believe are 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 in order to respond to changing conditions.

As of April 1, 2011, 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 $1,333.7 million (un-extended) and $1,407.4 million (extended); a yen denominated term loan to the Company in the amount of ¥5,191.6 million; a U.S. dollar denominated term loan to a Canadian subsidiary in the amount of $163.2 million; a Euro denominated term loan to an Irish subsidiary in an amount of €42.1 million; a sterling denominated term loan to a U.K. subsidiary in an amount of £116.8 million; and a Euro denominated term loan to German subsidiaries in the amount of €65.0 million. As of April 1, 2011, there was approximately $451.6 million outstanding in foreign currency borrowings.

facility has an unused commitment fee of 0.50% per annum. The maturity date of the U.S. revolving facility will accelerate from January 26, 2015 to October 26, 2013 if non-extended term loans in excess of $250 million remain outstanding on October 26, 2013. The non-extended term loans are due on January 26, 2014. In addition, the maturity date of the new U.S. revolving facility will accelerate to October 31, 2014 if any of the Company’s senior fixed rate notes due 2015 and senior floating rate notes due 2015 remain outstanding on October 31, 2014. The Company’s senior fixed rate notes due 2015 or senior floating rate notes due 2015 mature on February 1, 2015. All other terms are substantially similar to the terms of the existing revolving credit facilities. Commitment fees and third party costs directly attributable to the amendment were approximately $7.2 million, of which approximately $3.9 million were paid to entities affiliated with GS Capital Partners and J.P. Morgan Partners.

Covenant Compliance

The senior secured credit agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, 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 April 1, 2011, 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 for purposes of these covenants as net income (loss) plus interest and other financing costs, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined for purposes of these covenants 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 U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP or (2) operating cash flows determined in accordance with U.S. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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.

Other includes certain other miscellaneous items (the three months ended April 1, 2011, the three months ended December 31, 2010 and the three months ended July 2, 2010 include approximately $4.5 million, $10.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of severance and other related costs incurred by the Company (see Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements)).

Our covenant requirements and actual ratios for the twelve months ended April 1, 2011 are as follows:


	Covenant Requirements		Actual Ratios
Maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio (1)		5.00x		3.33x
Interest Coverage Ratio (Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) (2)		2.00x		2.61x

(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 accounts receivable, as defined in the Receivables Facility. The maximum amount of the Receivables Facility is $250 million, which expires in January 2013. 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 transferring 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. As collections reduce previously transferred interests, interests in new, eligible receivables are transferred to ARAMARK Receivables, LLC, subject to meeting certain conditions. Effective October 2, 2010 under the new authoritative accounting guidance, the Company’s sale of eligible accounts receivable is now accounted for as a secured borrowing. As of April 1, 2011, approximately $245.7 million was outstanding under the Receivables Facility and is included in “Long-Term Borrowings” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amounts borrowed under the Receivables Facility fluctuate monthly based on the Company’s funding requirements and the level of qualified receivables available to collateralize the Receivables Facility.

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, local and foreign authorities regarding allegations of violations of environmental laws in connection with our operations or businesses conducted by our predecessors or companies that we have acquired, 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, human health and safety laws, import and export controls and customs laws, environmental laws, false claims statutes, contractual disputes, antitrust and competition laws 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.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD UPDATES

See Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a full description of recent accounting standard updates, including the expected dates of adoption.

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; the impact on our business of healthcare reform legislation; costs and possible effects of further unionization of our workforce; liability resulting from our participation in multi-employer defined benefit pension plans; 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, 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 April 1, 2011 has not materially changed from October 1, 2010 (See Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 1, 2010). See Note 6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the Company’s derivative instruments and Note 14 for the disclosure of the fair value and related carrying value of the Company’s debt obligations as of April 1, 2011. See Note 15 for a discussion of subsequent events affecting the Company’s debt structure.

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 second fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
