VOLUME SERVICES AMERICA HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
THIRTY-NINE WEEK PERIOD ENDED OCTOBER 2, 2001 AND FORTY WEEK PERIOD ENDED
    OCTOBER 3, 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     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 thirty-nine  week period ended October 2,
2001 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  to be  expected  for the
fifty-two week fiscal year ending January 1, 2002 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 January 2, 2001.


     2.       NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities",  as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No.
138. It requires an entity to  recognize  all  derivatives  as either  assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value.  SFAS No. 133, as amended,  became  effective  for the Company on
January  3,  2001  and  the  adoption  of this  statement,  as  amended,  had an
insignificant impact on the Company's financial position.

     In July  2001,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  141  ("SFAS  141")  "Business
Combinations"  which  requires the purchase  method of  accounting  for business
combinations    initiated    after   June   30,   2001   and    eliminates   the
pooling-of-interests method. The Company is currently assessing, but has not yet
determined  the  impact of SFAS 141 on its  financial  position  and  results of
operations.

     In July 2001,  the FASB issued  SFAS No. 142 ("SFAS  142"),  "Goodwill  and
Other Intangible Assets", which is effective for the Company on January 2, 2002.
SFAS  142  requires,   among  other  things,   the  discontinuance  of  goodwill
amortization.   In  addition,   the  standard   includes   provisions   for  the
reclassification  of  certain  existing  recognized   intangibles  as  goodwill,
reassessment of the useful lives of existing recognized intangibles,

                                       7

reclassification  of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill and
the identification of reporting units for purposes of assessing potential future
impairments  of goodwill.  SFAS 142 also  requires  that the company  complete a
transitional  goodwill  impairment test six months from the date of adoption and
then  annually  thereafter.  The Company is currently  assessing but has not yet
determined  the  impact of SFAS 142 on its  financial  position  and  results of
operations.  Goodwill  amortization  (pre-tax) for the thirteen and  thirty-nine
weeks  ended  October  2,  2001 was  approximately  $443,000  and $1.3  million,
respectively.

     In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 ("SFAS 144")  "Accounting for
the  Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets",  which  addresses  financial
accounting  and reporting for the  impairment or disposal of long-lived  assets.
FAS 144 superseded Statement of Financial Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of".
SFAS 144 will be  effective  for the Company on January 2, 2002.  The Company is
currently  assessing but has not yet  determined the impact of adopting SFAS 144
on its financial position and results of operations.

     3.       CONTINGENCIES

     On March 15, 2001 and April 20, 2001,  respectively,  two of the  Company's
customers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  The Company had  approximately  $1.2
million of equipment and leasehold  improvements and $3.2 million of receivables
and leasehold  improvements,  respectively,  recorded at the time of the filings
relating to these  customers.  The  proceedings of the March 15, 2001 filing are
substantially  completed.  Based on the most  recent  information,  the  Company
recorded an asset  impairment of  approximately  $900,000 of the $1.2 million of
equipment and leasehold  improvements  in the second quarter.  In addition,  the
Company  has  entered  into a  concession  agreement  with the new  owner of the
facility.  The  proceedings of the April 20, 2001 filing are in the  preliminary
stages;  however,  based on the most recent  information,  the Company wrote-off
$2.3 million of other assets primarily representing long term receivables in the
second  quarter.  The  Company  had  approximately  $841,000  in  equipment  and
leasehold improvements recorded at October 2, 2001.

     4.     TRANSACTION RELATED EXPENSES

     Transaction  related  expenses  for the forty weeks  ended  October 3, 2000
consist primarily of non-recurring strategic corporate costs.

     5.      CONTRACT RELATED LOSSES

     Contract  related  losses for the  thirty-nine  weeks ended October 2, 2001
consist of an impairment charge of approximately  $933,000 recorded in the third
quarter  relating  primarily  to  the  write-down  of  equipment  and  leasehold
improvements for certain  contracts which the Company  continues to operate.  In
addition,  in the 2nd  quarter,  the Company  recorded an  impairment  charge of
$900,000 for equipment and leasehold  improvements and a $2.3 million charge for
the write-down of other assets, as described in Note 3.

     Contract related losses for the forty weeks ended October 3, 2000 represent
an impairment  charge of approximately  $1.5 million for certain  contracts that
the  Company  continues  to  operate.  The  impairment  charge is  comprised  of
approximately  $1.2  million for the  write-off of property  and  equipment  and
contract  rights and $269,000 of other assets.  Contract  related losses for the
period ended  October 3, 2000 also reflects the write-off of a receivable in the
amount of $754,000 and $305,000 in related  legal fees for a terminated  service
contract.

     6.       NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

are  jointly  and  severally,  guaranteed  by  Volume  Holdings  and  all of the
subsidiaries of Volume Service America (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") except for
certain non-wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries and one non-U.S. subsidiary (together
the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries").  The following table sets forth the condensed
consolidating   financial   statements   of  Volume   Holdings,   the  Guarantor
Subsidiaries  and the  Non-Guarantor  Subsidiaries  as of  October  2,  2001 and

thirty-nine  week periods  ended October 2, 2001 and the fourteen and forty week
periods ended October 3, 2000 (in the case of the statements of operations)  and
for the thirty-nine  week period ended October 2, 2001 and the forty week period
ended October 3, 2000 (in the case of the statement of cash flows).

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of  Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY RESULTS

The  Company's  sales and  operating  results  have  varied and are  expected to
continue to vary, from quarter to quarter, as a result of factors which include:

o        seasonal patterns within the industry;

o        the unpredictability in the number, timing and type of new contracts;

o        the timing of contract expirations and events; and

o        the level of attendance at the facilities which we serve.

                                       14

Business  at the  principal  types of  facilities  which we serve is seasonal in
nature with Major  League  Baseball  ("MLB")  and minor  league  baseball  sales
concentrated in the second and third quarter,  the majority of National Football
League ("NFL") activity  occurring in the fourth quarter and convention  centers
and  arenas  generally  hosting  fewer  events  during the  summer  months.  The
Company's  results  are  typically  impacted  to a  greater  degree by the above
factors  than a change in the number of weeks in a  reporting  period as was the
case in the  thirteen  and  thirty-nine  weeks ended  October 2, 2001 versus the
fourteen and forty weeks ended October 3, 2000.  Results of  operations  for any
particular  quarter may not be indicative  of results of  operations  for future
periods.

Set forth below are  comparative  net sales by quarter (in thousands) for fiscal
2001, through the 3rd Quarter, fiscal 2000 and 1999:

         1st Quarter                $ 83,194          $ 80,120         $ 66,290

         2nd Quarter                $157,646         $143,637          $116,341

         3rd Quarter                $177,559         $188,289          $147,058

         4th Quarter                       -         $110,487          $101,764



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 2, 2001 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 3, 2000

Net Sales - Net sales of $177.6  million for the quarter  ended  October 2, 2001
decreased $10.7 million (approximately 6%) from $188.3 million in the prior year
period. The Company's results for the third quarter have been adversely impacted
by weaker economic  conditions and by the September 11, 2001 terrorist  attacks.
We estimate that the impact of the terrorist  attacks  reduced our  consolidated
net sales by  approximately  7% for the third quarter from the level of sales we
would  have  expected  absent  such   conditions;   however,   we  believe  that
approximately  57% of these sales are recoverable in future periods as discussed
below.  The  Company's  MLB  accounts  generated  lower  sales  than  prior year
(approximately  5%) mainly  attributable  to fewer scheduled games for the third
quarter of fiscal 2001 as  compared to the prior year period and MLB's  decision
to  postpone  games  the  week of  September  11,  2001.  Twenty-eight  games at
facilities  the Company  serves were impacted by this  postponement  and will be
reported in the Company's fourth quarter.  Four NFL games were also postponed at
Company serviced venues and were rescheduled to be played during fiscal 2002. At
convention  center  accounts,  the Company had been  experiencing an increase in
event  cancellations  and downsizing of events prior to September 11, 2001 which
we believe was  attributable to the economic  slowdown.  The events of September
11, 2001 further adversely  impacted the convention center results.  We estimate
consolidated  net  sales  were  reduced  by  approximately   3%,  excluding  one
non-recurring  catering event, from the level we would have expected absent such
cancellations. The decline in consolidated net sales was partially offset by the
addition of fifteen new accounts (approximately 5%, net of closed accounts).

Cost of sales - Cost of sales of $143.5  million for the quarter  decreased $8.3
million  from $151.8  million in the prior year period due to the decline in the
overall  sales  volume.  Cost of sales as a  percentage  of net  sales  remained
constant at approximately 81% for both periods.

                                       15

Selling,   general   and   administrative   expenses  -  Selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses of $13.2 million  declined  slightly as a percentage of
net sales from the prior year period as a result of effective cost controls.

Depreciation  and  amortization - Depreciation  and amortization of $6.1 million
for the third  quarter of fiscal 2001  declined $0.7 million from the prior year
quarter.  The decrease was primarily due to a decline in amortization  which was
the result of the  expiration of the initial  contract  term of certain  service
contracts.

Contract  related losses - Contract related losses of $0.9 million for the third
quarter of fiscal 2001 and $0.5  million in the 2000 period  reflect  impairment
charges for the  write-down of equipment,  leasehold  improvements  and location
contracts for certain service contracts which the Company continues to operate.

Operating  income - Operating  income decreased $1.1 million from the prior year
period primarily due to the factors discussed above.

Interest  expense - Interest  expense  declined $1.2 million from the prior year
period chiefly associated with lower interest rates on the Company's  adjustable
rate debt.

Income taxes - Management  has  evaluated the  available  evidence  about future
taxable income and other possible  sources of realization of deferred tax assets
and based on its best  current  estimates  believes  that no  taxable  income or
benefit will be realized in fiscal 2001.

THREE  QUARTERS  ENDED  OCTOBER 2, 2001  COMPARED  TO THE THREE  QUARTERS  ENDED
OCTOBER 3, 2000

Net Sales - Net sales of $418.4  million for the three quarters ended October 2,
2001  increased $6.4 million or 2% from $412.0 million in the prior year period.
The increase was  primarily  due to net new accounts  (approximately  3%) and an
increase  in  MLB  sales   (approximately   2%).  The  MLB  sales  increase  was
attributable to higher attendance and per capita spending at certain facilities,
but was partially  offset by the  postponement of  twenty-eight  games until the
Company's  fourth fiscal quarter as a result of the September 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks.  The  increases  were,  in  part,  offset  by a  decline  in NFL  sales
(approximately  2%) due  primarily to eight fewer NFL games in the first quarter
of fiscal 2001 as compared to the prior year period and the postponement of four
NFL games until fiscal 2002 due to the terrorist attacks. Additionally, sales at
the Company's convention centers have declined  (approximately 2%, excluding one
non-recurring  catering event) due to the cancellation and downsizing of events,
most notably by the business sector, which management attributes to the economic
downturn  and which  have  been  further  adversely  impacted  by the  events of
September 11, 2001.

Cost of sales - Cost of sales of $342.5  million  for the three  quarters  ended
October 2, 2001  increased  $10.7 million from $331.8  million in the prior year
period.  Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales  increased 1% from the prior
year. The primary component of the increase was commission costs associated with
the increase in sales volume at MLB facilities and new accounts that have higher
commission structures.

Selling,   general   and   administrative   expenses  -  Selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses  of  $35.8  million  decreased  $1.1  million  or  as a
percentage of net sales declined approximately .4% as a result of effective cost
controls.

Depreciation  and  amortization - Depreciation and amortization of $18.2 million
for the three  quarters  ended  October 2, 2001  declined  $1.8 million from the
prior year period.  The decrease was primarily due to a decline in  amortization

                                       16

which was the result of the  expiration of the initial  contract term of certain
service contracts.

Transaction  related expenses - Non-recurring  strategic corporate costs of $0.8
million were incurred during the prior year period.

Contract  related losses - Contract related losses of $4.1 million for the three
quarters ended October 2, 2001 reflects an impairment charge of $1.8 million for
the  write-off of  equipment,  leasehold  improvements  and location  contracts.
Additionally,  the Company recorded a receivable reserve of $2.3 million related
to two of the Company's customers which filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.  At one
of the two customer  locations,  the Company has entered into a service contract
with the new  owner.  The  Company is  currently  still  operating  at the other
location;  however,  our ability to continue to operate at this location depends
on the final outcome of contract  negotiations  and the bankruptcy  proceedings.
The company has approximately  $841,000 in equipment and leasehold  improvements
recorded for this location. Management is unable to predict the ultimate outcome
or whether there will be additional  losses related to this  contract.  Contract
related  losses of $2.5 million in the prior year period  includes an impairment
charge of  approximately  $1.5 million  relating to certain  contracts which the
Company  continues to operate and a $0.7 million  charge for the  write-off of a
customer  receivable  and $0.3  million in related  legal fees for a  terminated
service contract.

Operating  income - Operating  income  declined $2.2 million from the prior year
period primarily due to the factors discussed above.

Interest  expense - Interest  expense  declined $1.8 million from the prior year
period chiefly associated with lower interest rates on the Company's  adjustable
rate debt.

Income taxes - Management  has  evaluated the  available  evidence  about future
taxable income and other possible  sources of realization of deferred tax assets
and based on its best  current  estimates  believes  that no  taxable  income or
benefit will be realized in fiscal 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the three  quarters  ended  October 2, 2001,  net cash provided by operating
activities was $26.1 million compared to $36.8 million in the prior year period.
The $10.7  million  decrease  from the prior year period was primarily due to an
increase in working capital chiefly  attributable to a $11.6 million increase in
accrued  commissions  during the 2000 period as compared to only a $4.0  million
increase in the 2001 period.  The Company' working capital as of October 2, 2001
has declined  approximately  $3.9 million from fiscal year ended January 2, 2001
primarily due to seasonal  fluctuations  as a result of the number and timing of
events.

Net cash used in investing  activities  was $22.5 million in the three  quarters
ended October 2, 2001  compared to $10.5  million in the prior year period.  The
$12.0 million increase in cash used in investing activities primarily reflects a
higher  level of  investment  in  contract  rights and  property  and  equipment
associated  with new  accounts  during the first  three  quarters of fiscal 2001
versus the prior year period.

Net cash used in financing  activities  was $1.3  million in the three  quarters
ended October 2, 2001 as compared to $9.9 million in the prior year period.  The
$8.6 million decrease primarily reflects net repayments of $2.0 million borrowed
under the Company's  revolving credit facility in the current period as compared
to the $9.5 million repaid in the prior year period.

                                       17

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  anticipate  total
capital  investments of $32.5 million in fiscal 2001. At October 2, 2001,  $54.5
million of the Company's revolving credit facility was available to be borrowed.
At that date, there were $4.0 million in outstanding revolving credit borrowings
and  $16.5  million  of   outstanding,   undrawn   letters  of  credit  reducing
availability.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 133  "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities",  as amended by SFAS No. 137 and SFAS No.
138. It requires an entity to  recognize  all  derivatives  as either  assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value.  SFAS No. 133, as amended,  became  effective  for the Company on
January  3,  2001  and  the  adoption  of this  statement,  as  amended,  had an
insignificant impact on the Company's financial position.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 ("SFAS 141") "Business  Combinations"
which  requires  the purchase  method of  accounting  for business  combinations
initiated  after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the  pooling-of-interests  method.
The Company is currently  assessing,  but has not yet  determined  the impact of
SFAS 141 on its financial positions and results of operations.

In July 2001,  the FASB issued  SFAS No. 142 ("SFAS  142")  "Goodwill  and Other
Intangible  Assets" which is effective for the Company on January 2, 2002.  SFAS
142 requires,  among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill  amortization.
In addition,  the  standard  includes  provisions  for the  reclassification  of
certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill,  reassessment of the useful
lives  of  existing   recognized   intangibles,   reclassification   of  certain
intangibles  out of  previously  reported  goodwill  and the  identification  of
reporting  units for  purposes of  assessing  potential  future  impairments  of
goodwill.  SFAS 142 also  requires  that the  company  complete  a  transitional
goodwill  impairment test six months from the date of adoption and then annually
thereafter.  The Company is currently  assessing but has not yet  determined the
impact of SFAS 142 on its financial position and results of operations. Goodwill
amortization  (pre-tax) for the thirteen and thirty-nine  weeks ended October 2,
2001 was approximately $443,000 and $1.3 million, respectively.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 ("SFAS 144")  "Accounting  for the
Impairment  or  Disposal  of  Long-Lived   Assets"  which  addresses   financial
accounting  and reporting for the  impairment or disposal of long-lived  assets.
SFAS 144 superseded  Statement of Financial  Standards No. 121,  "Accounting for
the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed
Of". SFAS 144 will be effective for the Company on January 2, 2002.  The Company
is currently  assessing but has not yet  determined  the impact of adopting SFAS
144 on its financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

As of  October 2,  2001,  the  interest  rate cap and swap  agreements  that the
Company had been party to have  matured.  The  Company  does not expect to enter
into any similar agreements.

Interest  Rate Risk - The  Company's  financial  instruments  with  market  risk
exposure consist of its term loans and revolving credit facility  borrowings.  A
change in interest  rates of one  percent on the  outstanding  borrowings  as of
October 2, 2001 would cause a change in annual interest expense of approximately
$1.1 million.  The Company's Senior  Subordinated  Notes are fixed interest rate
debt obligations.
