NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
THIRTEEN WEEK PERIODS ENDED MARCH 28, 2000 AND MARCH 30, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. GENERAL
Volume Services America Holdings, Inc. ("Volume Holdings," and together
with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is a holding company, the principal assets
of which are the capital stock of its subsidiary, Volume Services America, Inc.
("Volume Services America"). Volume Holdings' financial information is therefore
substantially the same as that of Volume Services America. Volume Services
America is also a holding company, the principal assets of which are the capital
stock of its subsidiaries, Volume Services, Inc. ("Volume Services") and Service
America Corporation ("Service America"). The Company is owned by current and
former members of management, Blackstone Capital Partners II Merchant Banking
Fund, L.P. ("BCP II"), and General Electric Capital Corporation ("GE Capital").
The accompanying financial statements of Volume Holdings have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the
interim periods.
The results of operations for the thirteen week period ended March 28, 2000
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fifty-three
week fiscal year ending January 2, 2001 due to the seasonal aspects of the
business. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read
in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the
year ended December 28, 1999.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Transaction Related Expenses - Transaction related expenses for the
thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2000 consist of direct costs incurred in
connection with the Company's attempt to purchase certain assets. Transaction
related expenses for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 1999 primarily relate to
personnel costs, rental costs, and professional fees associated with the
acquisition of Service America Corporation.

3. NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

severally guaranteed by Volume Holdings and all of the subsidiaries of Volume
Service America (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") except for certain non-wholly

2000 and March 30, 1999 (in the case of the statements of operations and the
statements of cash flows).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter Ended March 28, 2000 Compared to the Quarter Ended March 30, 1999
NET SALES - Net sales of $80.1 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2000
increased $13.8 million from $66.3 million in the prior year. The increase was
due in part to ten National Football League ("NFL") games, six post-season
playoff games and four 1999 regular season games, that occurred in the first
quarter of fiscal 2000, as compared to three games in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999. The NFL activity generated an increase in net sales of $5.0
million. In addition, net sales increased by $5.0 million as a result of five
new service contracts including the Louisiana Superdome and New Orleans Sports
Arena. Of the remaining $3.8 million increase, $2.9 million was due primarily to
an increase in convention center net sales.
COST OF SALES - Cost of sales of $64.2 million for the quarter ended March
28, 2000 increased $9.9 million from $54.3 million in the prior year period as a
result of the higher sales volume. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales
declined 1.7% from the prior year due primarily to non-recurring start-up costs
associated with the opening of five new service contracts in the 1999 period,
significant cost savings achieved through operating efficiencies at certain
accounts, a change in the sales mix (with a higher concentration of sales in
sports facilities, which typically have lower cost margins than convention
centers), and the closure of two large convention center accounts with high cost
to sales ratios.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Selling, general and
administrative expenses of $9.8 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2000
were $0.3 million higher than the 1999 period. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales declined from 14.2% in the
1999 period to 12.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 primarily as a result
of the synergies achieved through the acquisition and integration of Service
America with Volume Services.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION - Depreciation and amortization of $6.5
million for the quarter ended March 28, 2000 increased $0.2 million from the
prior year. The increase was primarily due to capital expenditures of $28.6
million made from March 31, 1999 through March 28, 2000.
TRANSACTION RELATED EXPENSES - Costs of $0.8 million were incurred in the
quarter ended March 28, 2000 in connection with the Company's attempt to acquire
certain assets. For the quarter ended March 30, 1999, $1.0 million in expenses
were incurred primarily relating to personnel costs, rental costs, and
professional fees associated with the acquisition of Service America and the
subsequent downsizing of Service America's headquarters in Stamford, CT.
OPERATING LOSS - Operating loss declined $3.7 million in the quarter ended
March 28, 2000 from the prior year. The improvement was primarily due to the
factors discussed above.
15
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the quarter ended March 28, 2000, net cash used in operating activities
was $3.4 million compared to $5.9 million in the prior year. The $2.5 million
improvement was primarily due to the previously noted $4.0 million decrease in
operating loss in the 2000 period as compared to the 1999 period, partially
offset by a $2.0 million increase in interest expense due primarily to the 1999
issuance of $100.0 million of senior subordinated notes.
For the quarter ended March 28, 2000, net cash used in investing activities
was $3.5 million compared to $1.2 million in the quarter ended March 30, 1999.
The components of net cash used in investing activities were the purchases of
property and equipment and investments in contract rights in connection with
acquiring or renewing contracts. The $2.3 million increase in cash used in
investing activities primarily relates to $1.9 million for the purchase of
contract rights associated with three new service contracts and the renewal of
three existing service contracts.
For the quarter ended March 28, 2000, net cash provided by financing
activities was $8.0 million compared to $7.3 million in the quarter ended March
30, 1999. The activity in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 primarily reflects
$8.8 million borrowed under the Company's revolving credit facility to fund
working capital. The 1999 figure reflects the issuance of $100.0 million of
senior subordinated notes, and the use of proceeds to retire $45.0 million of
senior secured debt and $0.5 million of GE Capital debt, redeem $49.5 million of
stock, and pay related fees of $5.6 million. Excluding the financing, we
borrowed $4.5 million under our revolving credit facility in the 1999 period and
increased bank overdrafts (outstanding checks) by $3.1 million to fund working
capital and capital expenditures.
FUTURE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We believe that cash flow from operating activities, together with
borrowings available under the revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to
fund our currently anticipated capital investment requirements, interest and
principal payment obligations and working capital requirements. We are currently
committed under client contracts to fund capital investments of approximately
$6.3 million and $0.6 million in 2000 and 2001, respectively. We anticipate
total capital investments of $15.0 million in fiscal 2000.
