VOLUME SERVICES AMERICA HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
THIRTEEN WEEK PERIODS ENDED MARCH 28, 2000 AND MARCH 30, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.    GENERAL

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

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

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


2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Transaction  Related  Expenses  -  Transaction  related  expenses  for  the
thirteen  weeks  ended  March 28,  2000  consist  of direct  costs  incurred  in
connection with the Company's  attempt to purchase  certain assets.  Transaction
related expenses for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 1999 primarily relate to
personnel  costs,  rental  costs,  and  professional  fees  associated  with the
acquisition of Service America Corporation.

3.    NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The  Company's 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 March 28, 2000 and  December 28, 1999 (in the
case of the balance  sheets) and for the thirteen  week periods  ended March 28,
2000 and March 30, 1999 (in the case of the  statements  of  operations  and the
statements of cash flows).

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Quarter Ended March 28, 2000 Compared to the Quarter Ended March 30, 1999

     NET SALES - Net sales of $80.1 million for the quarter ended March 28, 2000
increased  $13.8 million from $66.3 million in the prior year.  The increase was
due in part to ten National  Football  League  ("NFL")  games,  six  post-season
playoff  games and four 1999  regular  season  games, that occurred in the first
quarter of fiscal  2000,  as  compared  to three  games in the first  quarter of
fiscal  1999.  The NFL  activity  generated  an  increase  in net  sales of $5.0
million.  In addition,  net sales  increased by $5.0 million as a result of five
new service contracts  including the Louisiana  Superdome and New Orleans Sports
Arena. Of the remaining $3.8 million increase, $2.9 million was due primarily to
an increase in convention center net sales.

     COST OF SALES - Cost of sales of $64.2  million for the quarter ended March
28, 2000 increased $9.9 million from $54.3 million in the prior year period as a
result of the higher sales  volume.  Cost of sales as a percentage  of net sales
declined 1.7% from the prior year due primarily to non-recurring  start-up costs
associated  with the opening of five new service  contracts  in the 1999 period,
significant  cost savings  achieved  through  operating  efficiencies at certain
accounts,  a change in the sales  mix (with a higher  concentration  of sales in
sports  facilities,  which  typically  have lower cost margins  than  convention
centers), and the closure of two large convention center accounts with high cost
to sales ratios.

     SELLING,  GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES  -  Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses of $9.8  million  for the quarter  ended March 28, 2000
were  $0.3  million   higher  than  the  1999  period.   Selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses as a percentage of net sales declined from 14.2% in the
1999 period to 12.2% in the first  quarter of fiscal 2000  primarily as a result
of the synergies  achieved  through the  acquisition  and integration of Service
America with Volume Services.

     DEPRECIATION  AND  AMORTIZATION -  Depreciation  and  amortization  of $6.5
million for the quarter ended  March 28, 2000  increased  $0.2  million from the
prior year.  The increase was  primarily  due to capital  expenditures  of $28.6
million made from March 31, 1999 through March 28, 2000.

     TRANSACTION  RELATED  EXPENSES - Costs of $0.8 million were incurred in the
quarter ended March 28, 2000 in connection with the Company's attempt to acquire
certain  assets.  For the quarter ended March 30, 1999, $1.0 million in expenses
were  incurred  primarily  relating  to  personnel  costs,   rental  costs,  and
professional  fees  associated  with the  acquisition of Service America and the
subsequent downsizing of Service America's headquarters in Stamford, CT.

     OPERATING  LOSS - Operating loss declined $3.7 million in the quarter ended
March 28, 2000 from the prior year.  The  improvement  was  primarily due to the
factors discussed above.


                                       15

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     For the quarter ended March 28, 2000, net cash used in operating activities
was $3.4 million  compared to $5.9  million in the prior year.  The $2.5 million
improvement was primarily due to the previously  noted $4.0 million  decrease in
operating  loss in the 2000  period as compared  to the 1999  period,  partially
offset by a $2.0 million  increase in interest expense due primarily to the 1999
issuance of $100.0 million of senior subordinated notes.

     For the quarter ended March 28, 2000, net cash used in investing activities
was $3.5 million  compared to $1.2 million in the quarter  ended March 30, 1999.
The  components of net cash used in investing  activities  were the purchases of
property and equipment and  investments  in contract  rights in connection  with
acquiring  or  renewing  contracts.  The $2.3  million  increase in cash used in
investing  activities  primarily  relates to $1.9  million  for the  purchase of
contract rights  associated with three new service  contracts and the renewal of
three existing service contracts.

     For the  quarter  ended March 28,  2000,  net cash  provided  by  financing
activities was $8.0 million  compared to $7.3 million in the quarter ended March
30, 1999.  The activity in the first quarter of fiscal 2000  primarily  reflects
$8.8 million  borrowed  under the Company's  revolving  credit  facility to fund
working  capital.  The 1999 figure  reflects the  issuance of $100.0  million of
senior  subordinated  notes,  and the use of proceeds to retire $45.0 million of
senior secured debt and $0.5 million of GE Capital debt, redeem $49.5 million of
stock,  and pay  related  fees of $5.6  million.  Excluding  the  financing,  we
borrowed $4.5 million under our revolving credit facility in the 1999 period and
increased bank overdrafts  (outstanding  checks) by $3.1 million to fund working
capital and capital expenditures.


FUTURE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     We  believe  that  cash  flow  from  operating  activities,  together  with
borrowings available under the revolving credit facility,  will be sufficient to
fund our currently  anticipated  capital investment  requirements,  interest and
principal payment obligations and working capital requirements. We are currently
committed under client  contracts to fund capital  investments of  approximately
$6.3  million and $0.6  million in 2000 and 2001,  respectively.  We  anticipate
total capital investments of $15.0 million in fiscal 2000.


FORWARD LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

     Except for the historical  information  and discussions  contained  herein,
statements   contained  in  this  form  10-Q  may  constitute  "forward  looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. These  statements  involve a number of risks,  uncertainties  and other
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially,  including,  among
other things:

o    our high degree of leverage and significant debt service obligations;
o    our history of net losses;
o    the  level of  attendance  at  events  held at the  facilities  at which we
     provide our  services  and the level of spending  on the  services  that we
     provide at such events;
o    the risk of labor stoppages  affecting  sports teams at whose facilities we
     provide our services;
o    the risk of sports  facilities  at which we provide  services  losing their
     sports team tenants;
o    our ability to retain existing clients or obtain new clients;
o    the highly competitive nature of the recreational food service industry;
o    any future changes in management;
o    general risks associated with the food industry; and
o    future changes in government regulation.
