                      ARAMARK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


(1)    CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
       -------------------------------------------

       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. Certain information and footnote
       disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements
       prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
       been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the
       opinion of the Company, the statements include all adjustments (which
       include only normal recurring adjustments) required for a fair statement
       of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such
       periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not
       necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

(2)    ACQUISITIONS:
       ------------

       During fiscal 1995, the Company acquired Harry M. Stevens, a provider of
       food and support services to stadiums and arenas, and Rainier News and
       Meader Distributing, magazine and book distribution companies, for
       approximately $153 million in cash, notes and preferred stock.
       Additionally, during the first quarter, the Company completed the buyback
       of the remaining minority interest of its Canadian subsidiary for cash
       consideration of $20.3 million.

       The acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method. The
       costs of the acquisitions were allocated to the assets acquired and
       liabilities assumed based upon a preliminary estimate of their respective
       fair values and will be finalized during calendar 1995. Amounts allocated
       to goodwill are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.

(3)    EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT:
       ----------------------------

       During the fiscal 1995 third quarter, the Company redeemed its $125
       million 12% subordinated debentures due 2000 and its $50 million 10.25%
       senior note due 1998 and issued $150 million of 8.15% senior notes due
       2005 and $100 million of 8% senior notes due 2002. The premium related to
       the early extinguishment of the debt, $6.7 million (net of tax benefit of
       $4.4 million), is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
       Income as an "Extraordinary Item".

       Through the first nine months of fiscal 1994, the Company redeemed $65.8
       million of its 12.5% subordinated debentures ($52.4 million in the fiscal
       third quarter). As a result of cash premiums paid in connection with the
       redemption, the Company recorded an extraordinary item of $3.3 million
       and $2.5 million (net of tax benefit of $2.2 million and $1.7 million)
       for the nine month and three month periods ended July 1, 1994,
       respectively.

(4)    CAPITAL STOCK:
       -------------

       During the first nine months of fiscal 1995, pursuant to the ARAMARK
       Ownership Program, employees purchased 2,839,894 shares or $17.1 million
       of Class B Common Stock for $9.1 million of cash and $8.0 million of
       deferred payment obligations.

(5)    SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION:
       ----------------------------------
       The Company made interest payments of $76.8 million and $76.1 million and
       income tax payments of $40.7 million and $38.4 million during the first
       nine months of fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively. During the first nine
       months of fiscal 1995, the Company purchased $1.8 million of its
       Preferred Stock, $5 million of Class A Common Stock from its benefit
       plans and $31.3 million of its Class B Common Stock, issuing $16.5
       million in subordinated installment notes as partial consideration, and
       contributed $1.5 million of Class A Common Stock to its employee benefit
       plans. In connection with the acquisitions described in Note 2, the
       company issued promissory notes and preferred stock of a subsidiary
       totaling $8 million.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Overview
- --------

Revenues of $1.4 billion for the third quarter and $4.2 billion for the nine
month period increased 9% and 8%, respectively, over the comparable prior year
periods. Third quarter operating income of $74.7 million was $1.3 million or 2%
higher than the prior year period. The increase in operating income is due to
improved earnings in the business segments and the impact of the Harry M.
Stevens (Stevens) acquisition (see note 2 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements), partially offset by increased costs related to the change
in corporate identity and the impact of the Major League Baseball strike and the
decline in attendance discussed below. Operating income for the nine month
period of $186.3 million was 1% higher than the prior year, with improvements in
business segment earnings being offset by the impact of the National Hockey
League strike and Major League Baseball situation in the United States and
Canada, and the corporate identity costs noted above. Excluding the impact of
hockey and baseball and the Stevens acquisition, it is estimated that operating
income would have been approximately 7% and 5% higher for the third quarter and
nine month period, respectively, and consolidated net income (before
extraordinary items) would have been approximately 14% higher for the nine month
period.

The Company's operating income margin for the nine month period decreased to
4.5% in fiscal 1995 from 4.8% in fiscal 1994. The decrease in margin is due
primarily to hockey and baseball and increased corporate expenses
referred to above.

Third quarter interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 4%, from the
comparable prior year period due to increased debt levels to finance
acquisitions and increases in short-term interest rates, partially offset by the
favorable impact of refinancing certain of the Company's subordinated debentures
during fiscal 1994 and 1995 (see notes 2 and 3 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements). Interest expense for the nine month period decreased $1.9
million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the refinancing
described above offset by the increase in interest expense related to the
acquisitions.

Segment Results
- ---------------

Food, Leisure and Support Services segment revenues increased 8% and 7%,
respectively, for the three and nine month periods due to new accounts and
increased volume at both domestic and international food businesses and due to
the Stevens acquisition, partially offset by the impact of the National Hockey
League strike and the Major League Baseball situation. Uniform Services segment
revenues increased 8% and 11%, respectively, for the three and nine month
periods, reflecting increased volume at both uniform rental operations and at
WearGuard. Health & Education segment revenues increased 11% and 12%,
respectively, for the three and nine month periods resulting from new contracts
at Spectrum Healthcare Services and continued enrollment and tuition increases
at Children's World. Distributive segment revenues for the three and nine month
periods increased 11% and 7%, respectively, due to increased unit volume and the
acquisitions described in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements.

Food, Leisure and Support Services segment operating income for the fiscal third
quarter increased 2% compared to the prior year period due to increased revenues
in the domestic food business and the Stevens acquisition, partially offset by
the impact of the baseball strike, and a decrease in average attendance since
the resumption of the season in late April. Food, Leisure and Support Services
segment operating income for the nine month period increased 5% over the prior
year comparable period with volume related increases in the domestic food
business being partially offset by the impact of hockey and baseball. Excluding
the effects of hockey and baseball and the Stevens acquisition, it is estimated
that segment operating income would have been 13% and 11% higher for the third
quarter and nine month period, respectively. Uniform Services operating income
increased 6% and 5% for the three and nine month periods, respectively, due to
the increased volume, partially offset by increases in merchandise and other
operating costs. Health & Education segment operating income increased 5% and 4%
for the three and nine month periods, respectively, with volume related
improvements in operating income at Children's World being partially offset by
increased operating costs at Spectrum Healthcare Services. Distributive segment
third quarter operating income increased 7% over the prior year period, due to
the revenue related increases discussed above. Distributive segment operating
income for the nine month period decreased 1% compared to the prior year period,
with revenue related increases being offset by higher operating expenses and the
impact of current year acquisitions.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

The Company's indebtedness increased $144 million during the first nine months
of fiscal 1995, principally to finance acquisitions (see note 2 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements) and capital expenditures.

During the third quarter, the Company redeemed its $125 million 12% subordinated
debentures due 2000 and its $50 million 10.25% senior note due 1998 and issued
$150 million of 8.15% senior notes due 2005 and $100 million of 8% senior notes
due 2002. The premium related to the early extinguishment of the debt, $6.7
million after tax, is reflected as an extraordinary item in the fiscal 1995
third quarter financial statements. Remaining proceeds from the note offering
were used to reduce outstanding borrowings on the credit facility. The financing
transactions extended overall maturities and decreased the Company's average
borrowing rate. Additionally, during the third quarter, the Company established
a C$75 million credit facility at its Canadian subsidiary for general operating
purposes and to refinance borrowings related to the purchase of the remaining
minority interest described above.

The Company currently has approximately $500 million of unused committed credit
availability under its $1 billion revolving credit facility, which management
believes, along with cash flows from operations, is sufficient to fund operating
requirements.
