VOLUME SERVICES AMERICA HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
FORTY WEEK PERIOD ENDED OCTOBER 3, 2000 AND THE
THIRTY-NINE WEEK PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    GENERAL

         Volume Services America Holdings, Inc. ("Volume Holdings," and together
with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is a holding company, the principal assets
of which are the capital stock of its subsidiary,  Volume Services America, Inc.
("Volume Services America"). Volume Holdings' financial information is therefore
substantially  the same as that of  Volume  Services  America.  Volume  Services
America is also a holding company, the principal assets of which are the capital
stock of its subsidiaries, Volume Services, Inc. ("Volume Services") and Service
America  Corporation  ("Service  America").  The Company is owned by current and
former members of management,  Blackstone  Capital  Partners II Merchant Banking
Fund, L.P. ("BCP II"), and General Electric Capital Corporation ("GE Capital").

         The  accompanying  financial  statements  of Volume  Holdings have been
prepared  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the  information  and  footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting
principles for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects
all adjustments  (consisting solely of normal recurring  adjustments) which are,
in the opinion of management,  necessary for a fair statement of results for the
interim periods.

         The results of  operations  for the forty week period ended  October 3,
2000 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  to be  expected  for the
fifty-three  week fiscal year ending January 2, 2001 due to the seasonal aspects
of the business.  The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should
be read in conjunction with the audited  financial  statements and notes thereto
for the year ended December 28, 1999.


2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         TRANSACTION  RELATED  EXPENSES - Transaction  related  expenses for the
forty weeks ended October 3, 2000 consist  primarily of direct costs incurred in
connection with the Company's  attempt to purchase  certain assets.  Transaction
related  expenses for the  thirty-nine  weeks ended September 28, 1999 primarily
relate to personnel costs,  rental costs, and professional  fees associated with
the acquisition of Service America Corporation.

         NEW  ACCOUNTING  STANDARDS  - In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("FAS") No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities",  as amended
by FAS No. 137 and FAS No. 138. FAS No. 133, as amended,  is  effective  for the
Company  beginning  January 1, 2001 and  establishes  accounting  and  reporting
standards requiring that every derivative  instrument be recorded in the balance
sheet as either an asset or liability  measured at its fair value. The statement
requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized  currently in
earnings or other  comprehensive  income  depending on whether a  derivative  is
designed as part of a hedge transaction.  The Company has assessed the effect of
this standard and has determined  that adoption of this  statement,  as amended,
will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position,  results of
operations or cash flows.

3.       CONTRACT RELATED LOSSES

         During the forty weeks ended  October 3, 2000 certain  contracts  which
the Company intends to continue operating were identified as impaired.  As such,
the carrying  values were written down to the  Company's  estimate of fair value
based on the present  value of the  discounted  future  cash flows.  The Company
wrote down  approximately  $976,000  of  property  and  equipment,  $221,000  of
contract rights and $269,000 of other assets.

         On June 12, 1998,  Service America  commenced  arbitration  proceedings
through the  American  Arbitration  Association  in New York,  New York  against
Silver Huntington Realty LLC and Silver Huntington Enterprises LLC. In May 2000,
the arbitrator  reached a decision in this matter.  The decision provided for no
payment  from either party to the other.  As a result the Company  wrote off its
receivable  in the amount of $754,000  and  recorded  approximately  $305,000 in
related legal fees.

4.    NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The Company's  $100 million in 11 1/4% senior  subordinated  notes due 2009
are  jointly  and  severally,  guaranteed  by  Volume  Holdings  and  all of the
subsidiaries of Volume Service America (the "Guarantor Subsidiaries") except for
certain non-wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries and one non-U.S. subsidiary (together
the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries").  The following table sets forth the condensed
consolidating   financial   statements   of  Volume   Holdings,   the  Guarantor
Subsidiaries  and the  Non-Guarantor  Subsidiaries  as of  October  3,  2000 and
December  28, 1999 (in the case of the balance  sheets) and for the fourteen and
forty week periods ended October 3, 2000 and the thirteen and  thirty-nine  week
periods ended  September 28, 1999 (in the case of the  statements of operations)
and for the forty week period  ended  October 3, 2000 and the  thirty-nine  week
period  ended and  September  28,  1999 (in the case of the  statements  of cash

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 3, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER
28, 1999

         NET SALES - Net  sales of $188.3  million  for the three  months  ended
October 3, 2000  increased  $41.2 million from $147.1  million in the comparable
period of 1999. The increase was due in part to seven new accounts including one
new Major League Baseball ("MLB") venue, Pacific Bell Ball Park, home of the San
Francisco  Giants,  which  generated  a combined  increase in net sales of $17.2
million. In addition,  net sales increased $7.0 million at the National Football
League  ("NFL")  venues  which  the  Company  services  due  primarily  to  nine
additional  NFL games being played as a result of scheduling  and the opening of
the  National  Football  League's  2000  season one week  earlier  than the 1999
season.  Also contributing to the improvement over prior year was a $5.8 million
increase in net sales at the Company's convention center venues due primarily to
an increase in corporate event bookings.  Additionally,  MLB accounts (excluding
Pacific  Bell Ball Park)  accounted  for a $4.6  million net sales  increase due
mainly to an increase in per capita spending.

         COST OF SALES - Cost of sales of $151.8  million  for the  three  month
period ended October 3, 2000 increased  $36.8 million from $115.0 million in the
comparable  period of 1999,  primarily as a result of the higher  sales  volume.
Cost of sales as a  percentage  of net sales was 80.6% in the three months ended
October 3,  2000,  an  increase  of 2.4% from  78.2% in the three  months  ended
September 28, 1999.  The increase was primarily the result of higher  commission
and product costs associated with the aforementioned new service contracts.

         SELLING,  GENERAL AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES - Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses of $14.2  million for the three months ended October 3,
2000 were $1.0 million higher than the comparable  1999 period.  The increase in
expenses was directly related to higher net sales.

         DEPRECIATION  AND  AMORTIZATION - Depreciation and amortization of $6.8
million for the three months ended October 3, 2000  increased  $0.1 million from
the comparable period of 1999.

         TRANSACTION  RELATED EXPENSES - No material costs were incurred for the
three months ended  October 3, 2000.  For the three months ended  September  28,
1999,  $0.3 million in expenses  were incurred  primarily  relating to personnel
costs,  rental costs, and  professional  fees associated with the acquisition of
Service America Corporation in August 1998 and the subsequent  downsizing of the
Stamford, CT office.

         CONTRACT  RELATED  LOSSES - Contract  related losses of $0.5 million in
the three months ended October 3, 2000 reflect an impairment  charge relating to
property and  equipment  and  contract  rights for certain  contracts  which the
Company continues to operate.

         OPERATING PROFIT - Operating profit increased $3.2 million in the three
months ended October 3, 2000 from the comparable period of 1999. The improvement
was primarily due to the factors discussed above.

         INTEREST - Interest expense was $0.6 million higher in the three months
ended  October 3, 2000 as  compared  to the  comparable  period of 1999  chiefly
associated with higher interest rates on adjustable rate debt.

NINE MONTHS ENDED  OCTOBER 3, 2000  COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER
28, 1999

         NET  SALES - For the nine  months  ended  October  3,  2000,  net sales
increased  $82.3 million to $412.0 million from $329.7 million in the comparable
1999 period.  The increase was due primarily to the  aforementioned  new service
contracts which generated additional revenues of $42.0 million. In addition, ten
National  Football League ("NFL") games, six post-season  playoff games and four

                                       19
<PAGE>

1999 regular season games that occurred in January 2000 and nine  additional NFL
games in the three months ended October 3, 2000 period  contributed  an increase
in net sales of $12.0 million.  Of the remaining $28.3 million  increase,  $11.9
million was the result of an increase in net sales at the  Company's  convention
center venues due primarily to an increase in corporate event bookings.

         COST OF SALES - Cost of sales for the nine months ended October 3, 2000
were $331.8 million compared to $259.6 million in the comparable 1999 period, an
increase of $72.2 million. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased
from 78.7% in the 1999 period to 80.5% in the 2000 period. The primary component
in the 1.8% increase was higher  commission  costs associated with the Company's
new service contracts.

          SELLING,  GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Selling,  general, and
administrative  expenses of $36.8  million in the nine months  ended  October 3,
2000  increased  $3.7 million from $33.1 million in the  comparable  1999 period
primarily  due to the  increase  in net  sales.  As a  percentage  of net sales,
selling,  general,  and administrative  expenses declined 1.2% from 10.1% in the
nine months ended September 28, 1999 to 8.9% in the nine months ended October 3,
2000. The decline was due in part to corporate and field support  overhead costs
which show no marked increase as a result of the higher net sales.

         DEPRECIATION  AND AMORTIZATION - Depreciation and amortization of $20.0
million for the nine months ended  October 3, 2000  increased  $0.1 million from
the prior year period.

         TRANSACTION  RELATED  EXPENSES - Costs of $0.8 million were incurred in
the nine months ended October 3, 2000 primarily in connection with the Company's
attempt to acquire certain assets. For the nine months ended September 28, 1999,
$1.6 million in expenses were incurred  primarily  relating to personnel  costs,
rental costs, and  professional  fees associated with the acquisition of Service
America in  August,  1998 and the  subsequent  downsizing  of Service  America's
headquarters in Stamford, CT.

         CONTRACT  RELATED  LOSSES - Contract  related losses of $2.5 million in
the  nine  months  ended  October  3,  2000  include  an  impairment  charge  of
approximately  $1.5 million  relating to the property  and  equipment,  contract
rights and other  assets for certain  contracts  which the Company  continues to
operate.  Contract  related  losses also reflects a $0.7 million  charge for the
write-off of an unrecoverable  customer  receivable and $0.3 million  in related
legal fees.

         OPERATING  PROFIT - Operating  profit increased $4.5 million from $15.6
million in the nine months ended September 28, 1999 to $20.1 million in the nine
months ended  October 3, 2000.  The increase  was  primarily  due to the factors
discussed above.

         INTEREST - Interest  expense was $3.2 million higher in the nine months
ended  October 3, 2000 as compared to the 1999 period  chiefly  associated  with
approximately  one additional  month of interest expense on the Company's $100.0
million in senior  subordinated  notes,  increased  borrowings  on the Company's
revolving line of credit and higher interest rates on adjustable rate debt.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         For the nine  months  ended  October  3,  2000,  net cash  provided  by
operating  activities  was $36.8  million  compared to $19.6 million in the nine
months ended  September 28, 1999. The $17.2 million  improvement was due in part
to a net  decrease in working  capital.  For the 1999  period,  working  capital
decreased  $8.5 million as compared to a decrease of $18.5  million for the 2000
period, a net decrease of $10.0 million.  The primary components of the decrease
in the 2000 period were an increase in accrued  commissions  and  royalties  and
accrued  salaries  and  vacations  primarily  as a  result  of the  new  service
contracts.  Additionally,  profits from operations  (excluding non-cash charges)
increased  $3.7 million in the nine months ended  October 3, 2000 as compared to
the 1999 period.

         For the nine months  ended  October 3, 2000 net cash used in  investing
activities was $10.5 million  compared to $21.2 million in the nine months ended
September  28,  1999.  For the 2000  period,  the  $10.5  million  in  investing
activities  primarily  reflects  the  purchases of property  and  equipment  and

                                       20
<PAGE>

investments in contract  rights in connection with  maintaining  and/or renewing
existing contracts.  The higher capital  expenditures in the 1999 period reflect
$14.8 million in  investments  for newly  acquired  service  contracts  with the
remaining  $6.4 million  expended on  maintenance  and/or  renewals for existing
contracts.

         For the nine months ended  October 3, 2000,  net cash used in financing
activities  was $9.9  million  compared to $8.4 million in the nine months ended
October  3,  1999.  The  activity  for the nine  months  ended  October  3, 2000
primarily  reflects the repayment of $9.5 million  borrowed  under the Company's
revolving credit facility to fund working capital.  The 1999 figure reflects the
issuance of $100.0 million of senior subordinated notes, and the use of proceeds
to retire  $45.0  million of senior  secured debt and $0.5 million of GE Capital
debt,  redeem  $49.5  million of stock,  and pay related  fees of $5.7  million.
Excluding  the  financing,  bank  overdrafts  increased by $8.0 million and $1.8
million was borrowed under the revolving credit facility to fund working capital
and capital expenditures.

         FUTURE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         We believe  that cash flow from  operating  activities,  together  with
borrowings available under the revolving credit facility,  will be sufficient to
fund our currently  anticipated  capital investment  requirements,  interest and
principal payment obligations and working capital requirements. We are currently
committed under client  contracts to fund capital  investments of  approximately
$2.2 million in the  remainder of 2000 and $10.3  million in 2001. We anticipate
total capital investments of $15.0 million in fiscal 2000.

         NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("FAS") No. 133,  "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities",  as amended by FAS No. 137 and FAS No. 138.
FAS No. 133, as amended,  is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2001
and  establishes   accounting  and  reporting  standards  requiring  that  every
derivative  instrument  be recorded  in the balance  sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value. The statement requires that changes in the
derivative's   fair  value  be   recognized   currently  in  earnings  or  other
comprehensive  income depending on whether a derivative is designed as part of a
hedge transaction.  The Company has assessed the effect of this standard and has
determined that adoption of this statement, as amended, will not have a material
impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
