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”). </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;text-align:left;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARAMARK Intermediate Holdco Corporation ("ARAMARK Intermediate"), which is wholly-owned by ARAMARK Holdings Corporation ("ARAMARK Holdings" or the “Parent Company”). 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 </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">Income</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 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 16). </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;text-align:left;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">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. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;text-align:left;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">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 </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">100%</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, 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 16 for further discussion of ARAMARK Holdings. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:8px;text-align:left;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">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 </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">September 28, 2012</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">September 28, 2012</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 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 classifications. The reclassifications had no effect on net income.</font></div></div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for organization, consolidation and basis of presentation of financial statements disclosure.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name FASB Interpretation (FIN) -Number 46R -Paragraph 4, 14, 15 -LegacyDoc This reference is SUPERSEDED by the Accounting Standards Codification effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
