ARAMARK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 former 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 ("ARAMARK Intermediate"), which is wholly-owned by ARAMARK Holdings Corporation (the “Parent Company” or "ARAMARK Holdings"). ARAMARK Holdings, ARAMARK Intermediate and RMK Acquisition Corporation were formed for the purpose of facilitating the Transaction. The Company’s operating results are included in the consolidated federal tax returns filed by the Parent Company. Any realized tax effects or credits attributable to the Company’s operations accrue to the Company based upon the Parent Company’s procedures for allocating the costs and benefits to its subsidiaries. The income tax provisions in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income approximate the provisions that would be required if the Company were a separate taxpayer. All income tax payments are made by the Company on behalf of the Parent Company (see Note 15).

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 all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling financial interest is maintained. For those material consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company’s ownership is less than 100%, the outside stockholders’ interests are shown as noncontrolling interest in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements exclude the accounts of ARAMARK Holdings and ARAMARK Intermediate, but do reflect the Sponsors’ investment cost basis allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired on January 26, 2007 and the Parent Company’s common stock subject to repurchase. See Note 15 for further discussion of ARAMARK Holdings.

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 September 28, 2012. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 28, 2012 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. Certain amounts in the prior period’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation; the effect of which was not material.

(2) ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES:

Fiscal 2013

Spin-off of Seamless Holdings Corporation

On October 29, 2012, the Company completed the spin-off of its majority interest in Seamless North America, LLC ("Seamless") to the shareholders of ARAMARK Holdings.

In the spin-off, the Company distributed all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Seamless Holdings Corporation (“Seamless Holdings”), an entity formed for the purpose of completing the spin-off and whose assets primarily consist of the Company's former interest in Seamless, to its parent company and sole stockholder, ARAMARK Intermediate. Thereafter, ARAMARK Intermediate distributed such shares to ARAMARK Holdings, its parent company and sole stockholder, who then distributed all of the shares of Seamless Holdings on a pro rata basis to the holders of ARAMARK Holdings common stock as of October 26, 2012, the record date, through a tax-free stock dividend. Each ARAMARK Holdings shareholder received one share of Seamless Holdings common stock for each share of ARAMARK Holdings common stock held as of the record date.

7

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Until October 29, 2012, Seamless Holdings and its subsidiaries were part of the Company and its assets, liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows are included in the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements until that date.

Following the spin-off, Seamless Holdings is an independent company and ARAMARK retains no ownership interest in Seamless Holdings or Seamless. However, one member of the Seamless Holdings board of directors also serves on the Company’s board of directors.

In connection with the completion of the spin-off, Seamless Holdings, ARAMARK, ARAMARK Intermediate and the Parent Company entered into a Distribution Agreement, Seamless Holdings and the Parent Company entered into a Tax Matters Agreement and ARAMARK entered into a Transition Services Agreement with each of Seamless Holdings and Seamless. These agreements, as well as several additional ancillary agreements, govern the future relationships among the various parties involved in the spin-off. None of the agreements are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

As a result of this continuing involvement, the Company will not present Seamless Holdings and its subsidiaries as a discontinued operation. The Company's proforma results of operations for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 would not have been materially different than reported assuming the spin-off and related transactions had occurred at the beginning of the prior year period.

Fiscal 2012

Acquisitions

On October 3, 2011, ARAMARK Refreshment Services, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, purchased all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Van Houtte USA Holdings, Inc. (doing business as “Filterfresh”), a provider of office coffee services in the United States, for cash consideration of approximately $145.2 million. The acquisition was financed with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, if a certain significant customer relationship was not maintained within a specific timeframe, the Company was entitled to a refund of a portion of the purchase price. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company received a refund of approximately $7.4 million related to the termination of this customer relationship.

As part of the acquisition of Filterfresh, the Company acquired a subsidiary with a redeemable noncontrolling interest. The Company classifies redeemable noncontrolling interests outside of shareholder’s equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Common Stock Subject to Repurchase and other.” As of December 28, 2012 and September 28, 2012, the redeemable noncontrolling interest related to the subsidiary was approximately $10.4 million and $10.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended December 28, 2012, net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.2 million. Distributions to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.2 million for the three months ended December 28, 2012. For the three months ended December 30, 2011, net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.3 million. Distributions to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.2 million for the three months ended December 30, 2011.

For the three months ended December 30, 2011, $31.2 million of sales and $2.0 million of net loss, which included transition and integration costs, were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income related to the acquisition.

(3) SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

The Company made interest payments of approximately $42.0 million and $75.8 million and income tax payments of approximately $25.0 million and $16.6 million during the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, respectively.

As of December 28, 2012 and September 28, 2012, “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” consists of pension plan adjustments (net of tax) of approximately ($50.9) million and ($50.3) million, respectively, foreign currency translation adjustment (net of tax) of approximately $19.2 million and $20.4 million, respectively, fair value of cash flow hedges (net of tax) of approximately ($26.6) million and ($33.1) million, respectively, and share of equity investees' accumulated other comprehensive loss (net of tax) of approximately ($10.8) million and ($10.8) million, respectively.

For the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, the tax effects on comprehensive income for pension plan adjustments was approximately $0.3 million and ($0.2) million, respectively, foreign currency translation adjustment was approximately $4.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and fair value of cash flow hedges was approximately ($3.8) million and ($12.0) million, respectively.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(4) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid for 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 the Company conducts annually or more frequently if a change in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that potential impairment exists, using discounted cash flows. Changes in total goodwill during the three months ended December 28, 2012 follow (in thousands):

Segment	September 28, 2012		Acquisitions		Translation and Other			December 28, 2012
Food and Support Services—North America	$	3,701,137	$	7,741	$	(113,449	)	$	3,595,429
Food and Support Services—International	454,552		—		6,788			461,340
Uniform and Career Apparel	573,785		—		—			573,785
	$	4,729,474	$	7,741	$	(106,661	)	$	4,630,554

The amounts for acquisitions during fiscal 2013 may be revised upon final determination of the purchase price allocations. The other adjustments to the Food and Support Services—North America segment represents the goodwill impact of the Seamless Holdings spin-off (see Note 2).

Other intangible assets consist of (in thousands):

	December 28, 2012							September 28, 2012
	Gross Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Amount		Gross Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Amount
Customer relationship assets	$	1,883,607	$	(1,100,452	)	$	783,155	$	1,897,933	$	(1,064,492	)	$	833,441
Trade names	759,803		(1,483		)	758,320		763,127		(1,419		)	761,708

Acquisition-related intangible assets consist of customer relationship assets, the ARAMARK trade name and other trade names. Customer relationship assets are being amortized principally on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, 5 to 24 years, with a weighted average life of approximately 11 years. The ARAMARK trade name is an indefinite lived intangible asset and is not amortizable but is evaluated for impairment at least annually.

Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 was approximately $48.1 million and $50.3 million.

(5) BORROWINGS:

On December 20, 2012, the Company amended the senior secured credit agreement ("Amendment Agreement No. 3") to, among other things, borrow $670 million of new term loans with a maturity date of July 26, 2016.  The proceeds of the new term loans were used primarily to repay approximately $650 million of existing term loans with a maturity date of January 26, 2014 and to fund certain discounts, fees and costs associated with the amendment.  The existing term loans repaid in connection with Amendment Agreement No. 3 included U.S. dollar denominated term loans as well as non-U.S. dollar term loans and consisted of the remaining balance of the un-extended term loans. The maturity date of the new term loans accelerate to October 31, 2014 if any of the senior fixed rate notes due 2015 or the senior floating rate notes due 2015 remains 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. The applicable margin with respect to the new term loans, all of which are Eurocurrency designated U.S. dollar denominated term loans borrowed by the Company, is 3.25%.  The new term loans were borrowed by the Company with an original issue discount of 0.25%. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, approximately $11.6 million of third-party costs directly attributable to the amendment were expensed and are included in “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Approximately $4.6 million of the third-party costs were paid to entities affiliated with Goldman Sachs Capital Partners and J.P. Morgan Partners.

(6) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:

The Company enters into contractual derivative 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

9

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

gasoline and diesel fuel agreements. All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each quarter. The counterparties to the Company’s contractual derivative agreements are all major international financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company continually monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties, and does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. For designated hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method of measuring ineffectiveness. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting cash flows of hedged items.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company previously entered into $1.0 billion of interest rate swap agreements, fixing the rate on a like amount of variable rate borrowings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as and meets all the required criteria for a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. As of December 28, 2012 and September 28, 2012, approximately ($25.0) million and ($28.1) 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 three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 was immaterial.

The Company previously entered into a $169.6 million amortizing 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. In March 2012, the cross currency swap was amended to match the terms of the Canadian subsidiary's debt that was impacted by the Amendment Agreement No. 2 to the Restated Credit Agreement ("Amendment Agreement No. 2"). A portion of the swap was amended and extended to match the terms related to its variable rate debt denominated in U.S. dollars that was extended under the Amendment Agreement No. 2. The Company has designated these amended swaps as cash flow hedges. During the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, approximately $0.6 million and ($0.6) million of unrealized net of tax gains (losses) related to the swap were added to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” respectively. Approximately ($2.0) million and $3.3 million were reclassified to offset net translation gains (losses) on the foreign currency denominated debt during the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, respectively. As of December 28, 2012 and September 28, 2012, unrealized net of tax losses of approximately ($1.6) million and ($5.0) 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 three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 was immaterial. As a result of Amendment Agreement No. 3, the Company de-designated the cross currency swaps that hedged the Canadian subsidiary's term loan with a maturity date of January 26, 2014. Prior to Amendment Agreement No. 3, these contracts met the required criteria to be designated as cash flow hedging instruments. As a result, approximately $3.2 millionwas reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the three months ended December 28, 2012.

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 December 28, 2012, the Company has no contracts outstanding. There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the three months ended December 30, 2011.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

The Company elected to de-designate the cross currency swaps that were hedged against the Canadian subsidiary's term loan with a maturity date of January 26, 2014 due to the repayment of the term loan as a result of Amendment Agreement No. 3. As a result, on a prospective basis, changes in the fair value of these swaps will be recorded in earnings. For the three months ended December 28, 2012, the Company recorded a pretax gain of approximately $0.7 million for the change in the fair value of these swaps in “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The changes in the fair value of these swaps are expected to offset future currency transaction gains and losses on the U.S. dollar denominated intercompany loan between the Company and its Canadian subsidiary.

The Company entered into a series of pay fixed/receive floating gasoline and diesel fuel 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 December 28, 2012, the Company has contracts for approximately 2.6 million gallons outstanding for fiscal 2013. The Company does not record its gasoline and diesel fuel agreements as hedges for accounting purposes. As such, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in earnings. During the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, the Company recorded a pretax gain (loss) of ($0.2) million and $0.7 million in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the change in the fair value on these agreements, respectively.

As of December 28, 2012, the Company had foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding with notional amounts of €88.4 million, £37.9 million and CAD30.0 million to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on 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 intercompany loans.

(7) CAPITAL STOCK:

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement of the Parent Company, 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 (as defined) or shares acquired as a result of the exercise of Installment Stock Purchase Opportunities at appraised fair market 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 December 28, 2012 and September 28, 2012 was $156.7 million and $167.5 million, which is based on approximately 10.5 million and 11.0 million shares of common stock of the Parent Company valued at $14.99 and $15.17 per share, respectively. The fair value of the common stock subject to repurchase is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques and comparable public company trading multiples. Inputs used in the discounted cash flow analysis include the weighted average cost of capital, long-term revenue growth rates, long-term EBIT margins and residual growth rates. Inputs used in the comparable public company trading multiples include the last-twelve-months' EBITDA multiple, forward EBITDA multiples and control premium. During the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, approximately $24.7 million and $14.5 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, the indenture governing the senior fixed rate notes due 2015, the indenture governing the senior floating rate notes due 2015 and the indenture governing the notes issued by the Parent Company contain limitations on the amount the Company can expend for such share repurchases.

(8) SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:

During the three months ended December 28, 2012, share-based compensation expense was approximately $4.0 million, before taxes of $1.6 million. During the three months ended December 30, 2011, share-based compensation expense was approximately $5.9 million, before taxes of $2.3 million.

(9) 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 available under the facility is $300 million, which expires in January 2015. 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. At December 28, 2012 and September 28, 2012, the amount of outstanding borrowings under the Receivables Facility was $300.0 million and $263.8 million and is included in “Long-Term Borrowings”, respectively.

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 sports, entertainment and recreational food service operations that 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 that is partially offset by the effect of summer recess on the educational accounts.

Food and Support Services—North America sales and operating income for the three months ended December 28, 2012 were negatively affected by Hurricane Sandy and the National Hockey League lockout. Food and Support Services—North America operating income for the three months ended December 30, 2011 includes transition and integration costs of $3.5 million related to the Filterfresh acquisition and a favorable risk insurance adjustment of $1.7 million related to favorable claims experience.

Food and Support Services—International operating income for the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 includes severance related expenses of $2.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Uniform and Career Apparel operating income for the three months ended December 30, 2011 includes a favorable risk insurance adjustment of $5.7 million related to favorable claims experience and severance related expenses of $4.0 million.

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

Interest and Other Financing Costs, net, for the three month period of fiscal 2013 was favorably impacted by the maturity of interest rate swaps during fiscal 2012. Interest and Other Financing Costs, net, for the three month period of fiscal 2013 includes approximately $11.6 million of third-party costs incurred related to Amendment Agreement No. 3 to the senior secured credit agreement (see Note 5) and approximately $3.2 million of hedge ineffectiveness related to the repayment of the Canadian subsidiary's term loan with a maturity date of January 26, 2014 (see Note 6).

(12) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD UPDATES:

In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment. The amendment permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Company adopted the guidance beginning in fiscal 2013 which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that modifies the presentation of comprehensive income in the financial statements. The standard requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This standard eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. In December 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which deferred the portion of this update related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments between other comprehensive income and net income. The Company adopted the guidance retrospectively beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 which only resulted in changes to the presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2012, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. The amendment permits an entity to perform a qualitative impairment assessment before proceeding to the two-step impairment test. The Company adopted the guidance beginning in fiscal 2013 which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

(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 $97.7 million at December 28, 2012 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 December 28, 2012.

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, minority business enterprise and women owned business enterprise 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.

The Company has been informed that an Illinois state civil action has been filed against a subsidiary of the Company by an unnamed Relator under the Illinois Whistleblower Reward and Protection Act in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois County Department, Law Division. The action alleges, among other things, that the subsidiary has not complied with the requirement to contract with minority owned and women owned businesses in connection with its contracts with Cook County and seeks monetary damages. The Company has accrued its best estimate of this potential liability as of December 28, 2012.

(14) FAIR VALUE 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

15

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

•    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 (see Note 6). Management believes that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values. In conjunction with the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative instruments, that are subject to master netting agreements, on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. The fair value of the Company’s debt at December 28, 2012 and September 28, 2012 was $5,748.3 million and $5,440.9 million, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s debt at December 28, 2012 and September 28, 2012 was $5,751.7 million and $5,413.3 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 inputs utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company's debt has been classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy levels.

The following table presents the changes in the Company's common stock subject to repurchase for which level 3 inputs were significant to the valuation for the three months ended December 28, 2012 (in thousands):

(15) ARAMARK HOLDINGS CORPORATION (PARENT COMPANY):

ARAMARK Holdings Corporation has 600.0 million common shares authorized, approximately 217.1 million common shares issued and approximately 202.0 million common shares outstanding as of December 28, 2012.

On April 18, 2011, the Parent Company completed a private placement of $600 million, net of a 1% discount, in aggregate principal amount of 8.625% / 9.375% Senior Notes due 2016 (the "Parent Company Notes"). Interest on the Parent Company Notes accrues at the rate of 8.625% per annum with respect to interest payments made in cash and 9.375% per annum with respect to any payment in-kind interest. The Parent Company Notes are obligations of the Parent Company, 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, the senior fixed rate notes due 2015 and the senior floating rate notes due 2015. The Parent Company is obligated to pay interest on the Parent Company Notes in cash to the extent the Company has sufficient capacity to distribute such amounts to the Parent Company under the covenants relating to the Company’s outstanding indebtedness, including the senior secured revolving credit facility, the senior secured term loan facility, the senior fixed rate notes due 2015 and the senior floating rate notes due 2015. If the Company does not have sufficient covenant capacity to distribute such amounts to the Parent Company, the Parent Company has the ability to pay the interest on the Parent Company Notes through the issuance of additional notes.

At December 28, 2012, the Parent Company had long-term borrowings of $595.8 million, net of discount, interest payable of $8.3 million and unamortized deferred financing costs on the Parent Company Notes of $10.3 million. At September 28, 2012, the Parent Company had long-term borrowings of $595.5 million, net of discount, interest payable of $21.2 million and unamortized deferred financing costs on the Parent Company Notes of $11.0 million. For the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, the Parent Company recorded Interest and Other Financing Costs, net, of $13.9 million and $13.7 million, respectively. During the three months ended December 28, 2012, the Company advanced approximately $26.9 million to the Parent Company, which was used to pay the interest on the Parent Company Notes. During the three months ended December 28, 2012, the advance was reduced by approximately $6.0 million attributable to the tax benefit related to the interest on the Parent Company Notes. During the three months ended December 30, 2011, the Company advanced approximately $27.7 million to the Parent Company, which was used to pay the interest on the Parent Company

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 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 September 28, 2012.

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 former 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.

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.

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 heading "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 2012 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. Sales 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 trade name are indefinite lived intangible assets that are not amortizable and are subject to an impairment test that we conduct annually or more frequently if a change in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that potential impairment exists, using discounted cash flows. The Company performs its assessment of goodwill at the reporting unit 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.

24

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 income.

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, minority business enterprise and women owned business enterprise 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.

25

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 condensed 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 condensed 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 share-based awards 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 awards 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 share-based awards. The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and expected future dividend payouts. The expected term of share award represents the weighted-average period the share award is expected to remain outstanding. The expected term was calculated using the simplified method permitted under SEC rules and regulations due to the lack of history. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon the rate applicable to the U.S. Treasury security with a maturity equal to the expected term of the option on the grant date.

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

For the Performance-Based Options, management must assess the probability of the achievement of the earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) targets, as defined in the ARAMARK Holdings Corporation 2007 Management Stock Incentive Plan. 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 share-based awards 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

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

26

• 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

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 gasoline and diesel fuel agreements are based on quoted market prices from various banks for similar instruments, adjusted for the Company and the counterparties’ credit risk. The Company performs an independent review of these values to determine if they are reasonable. The fair value of our derivative instruments are impacted by changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and the prices of 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.

*****

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 $3.5 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 represented an increase of 3% over the prior year period. This increase is primarily attributable to growth in the Education and Healthcare sectors of the Food and Support Services—North America segment and growth in Ireland, China, Germany, Chile and Argentina in our Food and Support Services—International segment. This increase was partially offset by a sales decline as a result of the National Hockey League ("NHL") lockout and the impact of Hurricane Sandy in the Food and Support Services—North America segment, the sales decline in the U.K. in our Food and Support Services—International segment and the impact of acquisitions and divestitures (approximately -1%).

27

Operating income was $176.4 million for the three month period of fiscal 2013 compared to $166.9 million in the prior year period. This increase is primarily attributable to profit growth in our Education sector, in Ireland, China and Argentina and the cost savings from the completion of the integration of the Filterfresh acquisition. Profit growth was negatively affected by the NHL lockout and Hurricane Sandy, the profit decline in Germany and severance related charges of $6.0 million in the Uniform and Career Apparel and Food and Support Services—International segments. The three month period of fiscal 2012 includes a favorable risk insurance adjustment of $7.4 million related to favorable claims experience, of which $5.7 million relates to our uniform rental business, transition and integration costs of $3.5 million related to the Filterfresh acquisition and severance related charges of $5.3 million within the Uniform and Career Apparel and Food and Support Services—International segments.

Interest and Other Financing Costs, net, for the three month period of fiscal 2013 decreased approximately $9.4 million from the prior year period primarily due to the favorable impact of interest rate swaps maturing during fiscal 2012. Interest and Other Financing Costs, net, for the three month period of fiscal 2013 includes approximately $11.6 million of third-party costs incurred related to Amendment Agreement No. 3 to the senior secured credit agreement and approximately $3.2 million of hedge ineffectiveness related to the repayment of the Canadian subsidiary's term loan with a maturity date of January 26, 2014.

The effective income tax rate for the three months of fiscal 2013 was 31.7% compared to 32.6% in the prior year period.

Net income for the three month period of fiscal 2013 was $52.6 million compared to $39.4 million in the prior year period. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three month period of fiscal 2013 was $0.4 million compared to $0.7 million in the prior year period.

Food and Support Services—North America Segment

Food and Support Services—North America segment sales for the three month period of fiscal 2013 increased 3% over the prior year period primarily due to growth in the Education and Healthcare sectors and the positive impact of foreign currency translation (approximately 1%) which more than offset the negative impact of the NHL lockout and Hurricane Sandy. The Business & Industry sector had low-single digit sales decline for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to the spin-off of Seamless North America, LLC ("Seamless") in October 2012 and the impact of Hurricane Sandy on our business dining operations. The Education sector had high-single digit sales growth for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 due to base and net new business growth in our Higher Education and K-12 food services businesses. The Healthcare sector had low-single digit sales growth for the first quarter due to base business growth. The Sports & Entertainment sector had low-single digit sales decline for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as the NHL lockout more than offset growth in our National Football League stadiums.

28

Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $141.6 million compared to $126.2 million in the prior year period primarily due to profit growth in our Education sector, cost savings from the completion of the integration of the Filterfresh acquisition and the positive impact of foreign currency translation (approximately 1%). Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was negatively affected by the NHL lockout and Hurricane Sandy. Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 includes transition and integration costs of $3.5 million related to the Filterfresh acquisition.

Food and Support Services—International Segment

Sales in the Food and Support Services—International segment for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 increased 6% compared to the prior year period due to growth in Ireland, China, Germany, Chile and Argentina offset by the sales declines in the U.K. and Spain.

Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $19.2 million compared to $20.6 million in the prior year period as profit growth in Ireland, China and Argentina was more than offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation (approximately -4%), severance related charges in the U.K. of approximately $2.4 million and the profit decline in Germany. Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 includes severance related expenses of $1.3 million.

Uniform and Career Apparel Segment

Uniform and Career Apparel segment sales increased 4% for the three month period of fiscal 2013 compared to the prior year period primarily due to growth in our rental business.

Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was $31.1 million compared to $33.0 million in the prior year period. Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 includes severance related charges of $3.6 million compared to $4.0 million in the prior year period. Operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 includes a favorable risk insurance adjustment of $1.7 million compared to $5.7 million in the prior year period.

Corporate

Corporate expenses, those administrative expenses not allocated to the business segments, were $15.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $12.9 million for the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to compensation expense for and an accounting charge related to the retirement obligation to our current Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer, offset by a decrease in Performance-Based Option expense.

*****

Our operating results continue to be affected by the economic uncertainty being experienced in the countries in which we operate. We anticipate that economic conditions, specifically in Europe, and unemployment levels will continue to remain challenging. We are executing both sales enhancement and cost control initiatives and are working to streamline and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our headquarters and general and administrative functions through increased standards, process improvements and consolidation. As a result, we expect to record certain cost reduction and other charges in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

Cash used in operating activities was $172.1 million in the three month period of fiscal 2013 compared to cash used in operating activities of $107.1 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2012. The principal components (in millions) of the net change of $65.0 million were:

•	Increase in the total of net income and noncash charges	$	6.6
•	Increased working capital requirements	(83.2		)
•	Other, net	11.6
		$	(65.0	)

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. As expected and consistent with historical patterns, working capital was a use of cash for us during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The change in working capital requirements relates principally to changes

29

in Accounts Receivable (approximately $70.1 million), primarily due to the growth of the business and timing of collections, Accounts Payable (approximately $13.8 million), due to timing of disbursements and Accrued Expenses (approximately $11.2 million) related to the timing of customer advance payments as compared to the period year period. The “Other, net” caption reflects adjustments to net income in the current year and prior year periods related to nonoperating gains and losses.

On October 29, 2012, the Company completed the spin-off of its majority interest in Seamless to the shareholders of ARAMARK Holdings Corporation (the "Parent Company" or "ARAMARK Holdings"). In the spin-off, the Company distributed all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Seamless Holdings Corporation (“Seamless Holdings”), an entity formed for the purpose of completing the spin-off and whose assets primarily consist of the Company's former interest in Seamless, to its parent company and sole stockholder, ARAMARK Intermediate Holdco Corporation (“ARAMARK Intermediate”). Thereafter, ARAMARK Intermediate distributed such shares to ARAMARK Holdings, its parent company and sole stockholder, who then distributed all of the shares of Seamless Holdings on a pro rata basis to the holders of ARAMARK Holdings common stock as of October 26, 2012, the record date, through a tax-free stock dividend. Each ARAMARK Holdings shareholder received one share of Seamless Holdings common stock for each share of ARAMARK Holdings common stock held as of the record date. The Company distributed cash of approximately $47.4 million to Seamless prior to the spin-off.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, ARAMARK Refreshment Services, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Van Houtte USA Holdings, Inc. (doing business as “Filterfresh”), a refreshment services company, for approximately $145.2 million. The acquisition was financed with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, if a certain significant customer relationship was not maintained within a specific timeframe, the Company was entitled to a refund of a portion of the purchase price. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company received a refund of approximately $7.4 million related to the termination of this customer relationship.

On December 20, 2012, the Company amended the senior secured credit agreement ("Amendment Agreement No. 3") to, among other things, borrow $670 million of new term loans with a maturity date of July 26, 2016.  The proceeds of the new term loans were used primarily to repay approximately $650 million of existing term loans with a maturity date of January 26, 2014 and to fund certain discounts, fees and costs associated with the amendment.  The existing term loans that were repaid in connection with Amendment Agreement No. 3 included U.S. dollar denominated term loans as well as non-U.S. dollar term loans and consisted of the remaining balance of the un-extended term loans. The maturity date of the new term loans accelerate to October 31, 2014 if any of the senior fixed rate notes due 2015 or the senior floating rate notes due 2015 remains 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. The applicable margin with respect to the new term loans, all of which are Eurocurrency designated U.S. dollar denominated term loans borrowed by the Company, is 3.25%.  The new term loans were borrowed by the Company with an original issue discount of 0.25%. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, approximately $11.6 million of third-party costs directly attributable to the amendment were expensed and are included in “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Approximately $4.6 million of the third-party costs were paid to entities affiliated with Goldman Sachs Capital Partners and J.P. Morgan Partners. Amendment Agreement No. 3 also amended the senior secured credit agreement to allow the Company to distribute to the Parent Company the proceeds of any new unsecured indebtedness that is borrowed by the Company to redeem, repurchase or otherwise refinance the Parent Company Notes.

During the three months ended December 28, 2012, the Company advanced approximately $26.9 million to the Parent Company, which was used to pay the interest on the Parent Company Notes. During the three months ended December 30, 2011, the Company advanced approximately $27.7 million to the Parent Company, which was used to pay the interest on the Parent Company Notes.

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 $337.0 million and $383.9 million at January 25, 2013 and December 28, 2012, respectively) will be adequate to meet anticipated cash requirements to fund working capital, capital spending, debt service obligations, refinancings and other cash needs. On January 26, 2013, the aggregate revolver capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility was reduced from $665 million to $500 million. We believe we enjoy a strong liquidity position overall and we 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 to be economically less sensitive. In addition, we have worked to further diversify our international business by geography and sector. The Company also monitors its cash flow and the condition of the capital markets in order to be prepared to respond to changing conditions.

30

As of December 28, 2012, 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 $2,933.8 million; a yen denominated term loan to the Company in the amount of ¥5,110.2 million; a U.S. dollar denominated term loan to a Canadian subsidiary in the amount of $75.5 million; a Euro denominated term loan to an Irish subsidiary in an amount of €30.4 million; a sterling denominated term loan to a U.K. subsidiary in an amount of £82.3 million; and a Euro denominated term loan to German subsidiaries in the amount of €46.1 million. As of December 28, 2012, there was approximately $390.5 million outstanding in foreign currency borrowings.

Covenant Compliance

The senior secured credit agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to: incur additional indebtedness; issue preferred stock or provide guarantees; create liens on assets; engage in mergers or consolidations; sell assets; pay dividends, make distributions or repurchase our capital stock; make investments, loans or advances; repay or repurchase any notes, except as scheduled or at maturity; create restrictions on the payment of dividends or other amounts to us from our restricted subsidiaries; make certain acquisitions; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; amend material agreements governing the notes (or any indebtedness that refinances the notes); and fundamentally change the Company’s business. The indenture governing the senior fixed rate notes due 2015 and the senior floating rate notes due 2015 contains similar provisions. As of December 28, 2012, we were in compliance with these covenants.

Under the senior secured credit agreement and the indenture governing the senior fixed rate 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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 attributable to ARAMARK shareholder, 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.

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

(2) The first quarter of fiscal 2013 includes business interruption losses from the impact of Hurricane Sandy. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company recognized other income related to our investment (possessory interest) at one of our National Park Service sites which was terminated in the prior year.

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

(4) During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company sold a noncontrolling ownership interest in Seamless North America, LLC. The terms of the sale agreement stipulated that Seamless North America, LLC cease to qualify as a Restricted Subsidiary under the senior secured credit agreement, and as a result, its EBITDA for all periods presented must be excluded from the Company’s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. Effective October 29, 2012, Seamless North America, LLC earnings are no longer included in the Company's net income attributable to ARAMARK shareholder as a result of the spin-off (see Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

(5) Other includes certain other miscellaneous items (The three months ended December 28, 2012 includes $6.0 million of severance and other related costs incurred by the Food and Support Services—International and Uniform and Career Apparel segments. The three months ended September 28, 2012 includes a gain of approximately $1.6 million resulting from the change in fair value on gasoline and diesel contracts. The three months ended June 29, 2012 includes a gain of approximately $3.5 million for proceeds received related to the Masterplan indemnity claims and a loss of approximately $2.2 million resulting from the change in fair value on gasoline and diesel contracts.).

Our covenant requirements and actual ratios for the twelve months ended December 28, 2012 are as follows:

	Covenant Requirements	Actual Ratios
Maximum Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio (1)	4.50x	3.35x
Interest Coverage Ratio (Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio) (2)	2.00x	3.12x

(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 the Company’s revolving credit facility 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

32

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 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, or extend or refinance any of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement of the Parent Company, 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 (as defined) or shares acquired as a result of the exercise of Installment Stock Purchase Opportunities at appraised fair market value. Generally, payment for shares repurchased could be, at the Parent Company’s option, in cash or installment notes. The amount of common stock subject to repurchase as of December 28, 2012 was $156.7 million, which is based on approximately 10.5 million shares of common stock of the Parent Company valued at $14.99 per share. The Stockholders Agreement, the senior secured credit agreement, the indenture governing the senior fixed rate notes due 2015, the indenture governing the senior floating rate notes due 2015 and the indenture governing the notes issued by the Parent Company contain limitations on the amount that can be expended for such share repurchases.

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 available under the Receivables Facility is $300 million, which expires in January 2015. 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. As of December 28, 2012, approximately $300.0 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, minority business enterprise and women owned business enterprise 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.

33

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.

We have been informed that an Illinois state civil action has been filed against a subsidiary of the Company by an unnamed Relator under the Illinois Whistleblower Reward and Protection Act in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois County Department, Law Division. The action alleges, among other things, that the subsidiary has not complied with the requirement to contract with minority owned and women owned businesses in connection with its contracts with Cook County and seeks monetary damages.

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 December 28, 2012 has not materially changed from September 28, 2012 (See Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 2012). 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 December 28, 2012.

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.

(c) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

Acquisitions And Divestitures

ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES:

Fiscal 2013

Spin-off of Seamless Holdings Corporation

On October 29, 2012, the Company completed the spin-off of its majority interest in Seamless North America, LLC ("Seamless") to the shareholders of ARAMARK Holdings.

In the spin-off, the Company distributed all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Seamless Holdings Corporation (“Seamless Holdings”), an entity formed for the purpose of completing the spin-off and whose assets primarily consist of the Company's former interest in Seamless, to its parent company and sole stockholder, ARAMARK Intermediate. Thereafter, ARAMARK Intermediate distributed such shares to ARAMARK Holdings, its parent company and sole stockholder, who then distributed all of the shares of Seamless Holdings on a pro rata basis to the holders of ARAMARK Holdings common stock as of October 26, 2012, the record date, through a tax-free stock dividend. Each ARAMARK Holdings shareholder received one share of Seamless Holdings common stock for each share of ARAMARK Holdings common stock held as of the record date.

Until October 29, 2012, Seamless Holdings and its subsidiaries were part of the Company and its assets, liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows are included in the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements until that date.

Following the spin-off, Seamless Holdings is an independent company and ARAMARK retains no ownership interest in Seamless Holdings or Seamless. However, one member of the Seamless Holdings board of directors also serves on the Company’s board of directors.

In connection with the completion of the spin-off, Seamless Holdings, ARAMARK, ARAMARK Intermediate and the Parent Company entered into a Distribution Agreement, Seamless Holdings and the Parent Company entered into a Tax Matters Agreement and ARAMARK entered into a Transition Services Agreement with each of Seamless Holdings and Seamless. These agreements, as well as several additional ancillary agreements, govern the future relationships among the various parties involved in the spin-off. None of the agreements are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

As a result of this continuing involvement, the Company will not present Seamless Holdings and its subsidiaries as a discontinued operation. The Company's proforma results of operations for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 would not have been materially different than reported assuming the spin-off and related transactions had occurred at the beginning of the prior year period.

Fiscal 2012

Acquisitions

On October 3, 2011, ARAMARK Refreshment Services, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, purchased all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Van Houtte USA Holdings, Inc. (doing business as “Filterfresh”), a provider of office coffee services in the United States, for cash consideration of approximately $145.2 million. The acquisition was financed with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, if a certain significant customer relationship was not maintained within a specific timeframe, the Company was entitled to a refund of a portion of the purchase price. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company received a refund of approximately $7.4 million related to the termination of this customer relationship.

As part of the acquisition of Filterfresh, the Company acquired a subsidiary with a redeemable noncontrolling interest. The Company classifies redeemable noncontrolling interests outside of shareholder’s equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in “Common Stock Subject to Repurchase and other.” As of December 28, 2012 and September 28, 2012, the redeemable noncontrolling interest related to the subsidiary was approximately $10.4 million and $10.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended December 28, 2012, net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.2 million. Distributions to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.2 million for the three months ended December 28, 2012. For the three months ended December 30, 2011, net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.3 million. Distributions to redeemable noncontrolling interest was $0.2 million for the three months ended December 30, 2011.

For the three months ended December 30, 2011, $31.2 million of sales and $2.0 million of net loss, which included transition and integration costs, were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income related to the acquisition.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis Of Presentation

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 former 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 ("ARAMARK Intermediate"), which is wholly-owned by ARAMARK Holdings Corporation (the “Parent Company” or "ARAMARK Holdings"). ARAMARK Holdings, ARAMARK Intermediate and RMK Acquisition Corporation were formed for the purpose of facilitating the Transaction. The Company’s operating results are included in the consolidated federal tax returns filed by the Parent Company. Any realized tax effects or credits attributable to the Company’s operations accrue to the Company based upon the Parent Company’s procedures for allocating the costs and benefits to its subsidiaries. The income tax provisions in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income approximate the provisions that would be required if the Company were a separate taxpayer. All income tax payments are made by the Company on behalf of the Parent Company (see Note 15).

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 all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling financial interest is maintained. For those material consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company’s ownership is less than 100%, the outside stockholders’ interests are shown as noncontrolling interest in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements exclude the accounts of ARAMARK Holdings and ARAMARK Intermediate, but do reflect the Sponsors’ investment cost basis allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired on January 26, 2007 and the Parent Company’s common stock subject to repurchase. See Note 15 for further discussion of ARAMARK Holdings.

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 September 28, 2012. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 28, 2012 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. Certain amounts in the prior period’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation; the effect of which was not material.

Parent Company Activity Note Disclosure [Abstract]

ARAMARK Holdings Corporation (Parent Company)

ARAMARK HOLDINGS CORPORATION (PARENT COMPANY):

ARAMARK Holdings Corporation has 600.0 million common shares authorized, approximately 217.1 million common shares issued and approximately 202.0 million common shares outstanding as of December 28, 2012.

On April 18, 2011, the Parent Company completed a private placement of $600 million, net of a 1% discount, in aggregate principal amount of 8.625% / 9.375% Senior Notes due 2016 (the "Parent Company Notes"). Interest on the Parent Company Notes accrues at the rate of 8.625% per annum with respect to interest payments made in cash and 9.375% per annum with respect to any payment in-kind interest. The Parent Company Notes are obligations of the Parent Company, 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, the senior fixed rate notes due 2015 and the senior floating rate notes due 2015. The Parent Company is obligated to pay interest on the Parent Company Notes in cash to the extent the Company has sufficient capacity to distribute such amounts to the Parent Company under the covenants relating to the Company’s outstanding indebtedness, including the senior secured revolving credit facility, the senior secured term loan facility, the senior fixed rate notes due 2015 and the senior floating rate notes due 2015. If the Company does not have sufficient covenant capacity to distribute such amounts to the Parent Company, the Parent Company has the ability to pay the interest on the Parent Company Notes through the issuance of additional notes.

At December 28, 2012, the Parent Company had long-term borrowings of $595.8 million, net of discount, interest payable of $8.3 million and unamortized deferred financing costs on the Parent Company Notes of $10.3 million. At September 28, 2012, the Parent Company had long-term borrowings of $595.5 million, net of discount, interest payable of $21.2 million and unamortized deferred financing costs on the Parent Company Notes of $11.0 million. For the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, the Parent Company recorded Interest and Other Financing Costs, net, of $13.9 million and $13.7 million, respectively. During the three months ended December 28, 2012, the Company advanced approximately $26.9 million to the Parent Company, which was used to pay the interest on the Parent Company Notes. During the three months ended December 28, 2012, the advance was reduced by approximately $6.0 million attributable to the tax benefit related to the interest on the Parent Company Notes. During the three months ended December 30, 2011, the Company advanced approximately $27.7 million to the Parent Company, which was used to pay the interest on the Parent Company Notes. During the three months ended December 30, 2011, the advance was reduced by approximately $14.9 million attributable to the tax benefit related to the interest on the Parent Company Notes.

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 sports, entertainment and recreational food service operations that 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 that is partially offset by the effect of summer recess on the educational accounts.

Food and Support Services—North America sales and operating income for the three months ended December 28, 2012 were negatively affected by Hurricane Sandy and the National Hockey League lockout. Food and Support Services—North America operating income for the three months ended December 30, 2011 includes transition and integration costs of $3.5 million related to the Filterfresh acquisition and a favorable risk insurance adjustment of $1.7 million related to favorable claims experience.

Food and Support Services—International operating income for the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 includes severance related expenses of $2.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Uniform and Career Apparel operating income for the three months ended December 28, 2012 includes severance related expenses of $3.6 million and a favorable risk insurance adjustment of $1.7 million related to favorable claims experience. Uniform and Career Apparel operating income for the three months ended December 30, 2011 includes a favorable risk insurance adjustment of $5.7 million related to favorable claims experience and severance related expenses of $4.0 million.

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

Interest and Other Financing Costs, net, for the three month period of fiscal 2013 was favorably impacted by the maturity of interest rate swaps during fiscal 2012. Interest and Other Financing Costs, net, for the three month period of fiscal 2013 includes approximately $11.6 million of third-party costs incurred related to Amendment Agreement No. 3 to the senior secured credit agreement (see Note 5) and approximately $3.2 million of hedge ineffectiveness related to the repayment of the Canadian subsidiary's term loan with a maturity date of January 26, 2014 (see Note 6).

Borrowings

BORROWINGS:

On December 20, 2012, the Company amended the senior secured credit agreement ("Amendment Agreement No. 3") to, among other things, borrow $670 million of new term loans with a maturity date of July 26, 2016.  The proceeds of the new term loans were used primarily to repay approximately $650 million of existing term loans with a maturity date of January 26, 2014 and to fund certain discounts, fees and costs associated with the amendment.  The existing term loans repaid in connection with Amendment Agreement No. 3 included U.S. dollar denominated term loans as well as non-U.S. dollar term loans and consisted of the remaining balance of the un-extended term loans. The maturity date of the new term loans accelerate to October 31, 2014 if any of the senior fixed rate notes due 2015 or the senior floating rate notes due 2015 remains 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. The applicable margin with respect to the new term loans, all of which are Eurocurrency designated U.S. dollar denominated term loans borrowed by the Company, is 3.25%.  The new term loans were borrowed by the Company with an original issue discount of 0.25%. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, approximately $11.6 million of third-party costs directly attributable to the amendment were expensed and are included in “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Approximately $4.6 million of the third-party costs were paid to entities affiliated with Goldman Sachs Capital Partners and J.P. Morgan Partners.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration paid for 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 the Company conducts annually or more frequently if a change in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that potential impairment exists, using discounted cash flows. Changes in total goodwill during the three months ended December 28, 2012 follow (in thousands):

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

New Accounting Standard Updates

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD UPDATES:

In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment. The amendment permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Company adopted the guidance beginning in fiscal 2013 which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that modifies the presentation of comprehensive income in the financial statements. The standard requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This standard eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. In December 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which deferred the portion of this update related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments between other comprehensive income and net income. The Company adopted the guidance retrospectively beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 which only resulted in changes to the presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2012, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. The amendment permits an entity to perform a qualitative impairment assessment before proceeding to the two-step impairment test. The Company adopted the guidance beginning in fiscal 2013 which did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:

The Company enters into contractual derivative 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 gasoline and diesel fuel agreements. All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each quarter. The counterparties to the Company’s contractual derivative agreements are all major international financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company continually monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties, and does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties. For designated hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method of measuring ineffectiveness. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting cash flows of hedged items.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company previously entered into $1.0 billion of interest rate swap agreements, fixing the rate on a like amount of variable rate borrowings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as and meets all the required criteria for a cash flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. As of December 28, 2012 and September 28, 2012, approximately ($25.0) million and ($28.1) 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 three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 was immaterial.

The Company previously entered into a $169.6 million amortizing 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. In March 2012, the cross currency swap was amended to match the terms of the Canadian subsidiary's debt that was impacted by the Amendment Agreement No. 2 to the Restated Credit Agreement ("Amendment Agreement No. 2"). A portion of the swap was amended and extended to match the terms related to its variable rate debt denominated in U.S. dollars that was extended under the Amendment Agreement No. 2. The Company has designated these amended swaps as cash flow hedges. During the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, approximately $0.6 million and ($0.6) million of unrealized net of tax gains (losses) related to the swap were added to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss,” respectively. Approximately ($2.0) million and $3.3 million were reclassified to offset net translation gains (losses) on the foreign currency denominated debt during the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, respectively. As of December 28, 2012 and September 28, 2012, unrealized net of tax losses of approximately ($1.6) million and ($5.0) 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 three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 was immaterial. As a result of Amendment Agreement No. 3, the Company de-designated the cross currency swaps that hedged the Canadian subsidiary's term loan with a maturity date of January 26, 2014. Prior to Amendment Agreement No. 3, these contracts met the required criteria to be designated as cash flow hedging instruments. As a result, approximately $3.2 millionwas reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the three months ended December 28, 2012.

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 December 28, 2012, the Company has no contracts outstanding. There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the three months ended December 30, 2011.

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

Cross currency swap agreements	3,345		2,726
Natural gas hedge agreements	—		(70		)
	$	6,477	$	18,732

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

The Company elected to de-designate the cross currency swaps that were hedged against the Canadian subsidiary's term loan with a maturity date of January 26, 2014 due to the repayment of the term loan as a result of Amendment Agreement No. 3. As a result, on a prospective basis, changes in the fair value of these swaps will be recorded in earnings. For the three months ended December 28, 2012, the Company recorded a pretax gain of approximately $0.7 million for the change in the fair value of these swaps in “Interest and Other Financing Costs, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The changes in the fair value of these swaps are expected to offset future currency transaction gains and losses on the U.S. dollar denominated intercompany loan between the Company and its Canadian subsidiary.

The Company entered into a series of pay fixed/receive floating gasoline and diesel fuel 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 December 28, 2012, the Company has contracts for approximately 2.6 million gallons outstanding for fiscal 2013. The Company does not record its gasoline and diesel fuel agreements as hedges for accounting purposes. As such, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in earnings. During the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, the Company recorded a pretax gain (loss) of ($0.2) million and $0.7 million in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the change in the fair value on these agreements, respectively.

As of December 28, 2012, the Company had foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding with notional amounts of €88.4 million, £37.9 million and CAD30.0 million to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on 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 intercompany loans.

Capital Stock [Abstract]

Capital Stock

CAPITAL STOCK:

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement of the Parent Company, 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 (as defined) or shares acquired as a result of the exercise of Installment Stock Purchase Opportunities at appraised fair market 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 December 28, 2012 and September 28, 2012 was $156.7 million and $167.5 million, which is based on approximately 10.5 million and 11.0 million shares of common stock of the Parent Company valued at $14.99 and $15.17 per share, respectively. The fair value of the common stock subject to repurchase is calculated using discounted cash flow techniques and comparable public company trading multiples. Inputs used in the discounted cash flow analysis include the weighted average cost of capital, long-term revenue growth rates, long-term EBIT margins and residual growth rates. Inputs used in the comparable public company trading multiples include the last-twelve-months' EBITDA multiple, forward EBITDA multiples and control premium. During the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, approximately $24.7 million and $14.5 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, the indenture governing the senior fixed rate notes due 2015, the indenture governing the senior floating rate notes due 2015 and the indenture governing the notes issued by the Parent Company contain limitations on the amount the Company can expend for such share repurchases.

Accounts Receivable Securitization

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 available under the facility is $300 million, which expires in January 2015. 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. At December 28, 2012 and September 28, 2012, the amount of outstanding borrowings under the Receivables Facility was $300.0 million and $263.8 million and is included in “Long-Term Borrowings”, respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Of Assets And Liabilities

FAIR VALUE 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 (see Note 6). Management believes that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair values. In conjunction with the fair value measurement of the derivative instruments, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative instruments, that are subject to master netting agreements, on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. The fair value of the Company’s debt at December 28, 2012 and September 28, 2012 was $5,748.3 million and $5,440.9 million, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s debt at December 28, 2012 and September 28, 2012 was $5,751.7 million and $5,413.3 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 inputs utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company's debt has been classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy levels.

The following table presents the changes in the Company's common stock subject to repurchase for which level 3 inputs were significant to the valuation for the three months ended December 28, 2012 (in thousands):

Commitments And Contingencies

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 $97.7 million at December 28, 2012 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 December 28, 2012.

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, minority business enterprise and women owned business enterprise 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.

The Company has been informed that an Illinois state civil action has been filed against a subsidiary of the Company by an unnamed Relator under the Illinois Whistleblower Reward and Protection Act in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois County Department, Law Division. The action alleges, among other things, that the subsidiary has not complied with the requirement to contract with minority owned and women owned businesses in connection with its contracts with Cook County and seeks monetary damages. The Company has accrued its best estimate of this potential liability as of December 28, 2012.
