                                  INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW

Sodexho Marriott Services, Inc. (the "Company") is the leading provider in North
America of outsourced  food and  facilities  management  services to businesses,
health care  facilities,  colleges and  universities,  and primary and secondary
schools.  Food services include food and beverage  procurement,  preparation and
menu  planning,  as well as the  operation and  maintenance  of food service and
catering  facilities,  generally on a client's premises.  Facilities  management
services  include  plant  maintenance,   energy  management,   grounds  keeping,
housekeeping and custodial services.

The  Company  was  formerly   named  Marriott   International,   Inc.  Upon  the
consummation of the distribution of its lodging,  senior living and distribution
services businesses to existing shareholders,  which occurred on March 27, 1998,
the Company then acquired (the  "Acquisition") the North American  operations of
Sodexho Alliance,  S.A.  ("Sodexho"),  and the combined  operations were renamed
Sodexho Marriott Services, Inc.

THE TRANSACTIONS

In general,  in March 1998,  the Company  distributed to its  shareholders  (the
"Distribution")  the  lodging  segment and two of the three lines of business in
the contract  services  segment - Marriott Senior Living  Services  ("MSLS") and
Marriott  Distribution  Services ("MDS"). The lodging, MSLS and MDS business are
collectively  referred  to as the  Distributed  Operations.  The  third  line of
business in the contract services segment, formerly known as Marriott Management
Services  ("MMS"),  combined with Sodexho North America  (Sodexho  Financiere du
Canada and subsidiaries, and International Catering Corporation and subsidiaries
taken  collectively  are known as "Sodexho  North America" or "Sodexho USA") and
became  the   principal   business  of  the  Company.   Immediately   after  the
Distribution, Sodexho transferred to the Company the operations of Sodexho North
America  combined  with a cash  payment  of $304  million in  exchange  for 29.9
million  shares of the Company's  common stock.  Lastly,  on March 27, 1998, the
Company  borrowed  $615 million and $620 million  under the Secured SMS Facility
and Guaranteed SMS Facility, respectively (see Note 3). These proceeds were used
to repurchase $713 million of the Company's $720 million  publicly held debt and
to repay its $950 million  outstanding  obligations under the Company's existing
credit facility (the "Refinancing"). Collectively, the Distribution, Acquisition
and Refinancing are called the "Transactions."

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This  report by the  Company  contains  forward-looking  statements  within  the
meaning  of the  federal  securities  laws.  These  statements  are based on the
Company's current  expectations and relate to anticipated future events that are
not  historical  facts,  such as the  Company's  business  strategies  and their
intended results.

The  forward-looking  statements included in this report are subject to numerous
risks and  uncertainties  that could cause the Company's  future  activities and
results of operations to differ  materially  from those  expressed or implied in
the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties, which are further
discussed in  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition and
Results of Operations and other parts of this report,  include:  (i) the ability
of the Company to adapt to various changes,  including changes in its structure,
senior management and in its relationship with its largest  shareholder--Sodexho
Alliance,  (ii)  the  potential  adverse  impact  of the  Company's  substantial
indebtedness,  including  restrictions and remedies available within the related
debt  covenants,  (iii) the ability of the Company to attract,  hire,  train and
retain competent management personnel, (iv) competition in the food services and
facilities   management   industries,   (v)  the  effects  of  general  economic
conditions,  including the record low level of unemployment, (vi) the ability of
the Company to retain clients and obtain new clients on satisfactory  terms, and
other  factors  described  from time to time in the  Company's  filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission including those set forth in Exhibit 99 filed
herein.

As a result of these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on the forward-looking statements included in this report or that
may be made  elsewhere  from time to time by, or on behalf of, the Company.  The
Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

As of March 27, 1998,  the assets,  liabilities  and business  operations of the
Company changed substantially due to the Transactions described in Notes 1 and 2
to the  Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements.  As a  result  of  these
changes,  there are certain  differences in the  comparability  of the Company's
historical  operating  results  presented  in  Part I of this  document  and the
Company's  ongoing  operations.  To assist readers in understanding  the present
operations of the Company,  management believes it is meaningful and relevant to
set forth in this report not only the actual  results of  operations  for the 13
and 39 weeks  ended June 2, 2000  ("Third  Quarter  Fiscal Year 2000" and "First
Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2000," respectively)  compared with the historical 13
and 39 weeks ended May 28, 1999  (presented in Part I of this report),  but also
the pro forma  results  for the 13 and 39 weeks  ended May 28,  1999 ("Pro Forma
Third Quarter  Fiscal Year 1999" and "Pro Forma First Nine Months of Fiscal Year
1999,"   respectively)   presented  in  this  section.   In  addition,   certain
reclassifications  have been made to the Pro Forma Third  Quarter and First Nine
Months of Fiscal Year 1999 to conform to the current year's presentation.

No pro forma adjustments were made for the Third Quarter or First Nine Months of
Fiscal Year 2000 results.  For the  comparable  periods in fiscal year 1999, the
historical  results have been  adjusted to exclude  integration  charges of $2.6
million  and $15.6  million  pretax,  respectively.  Total  integration  charges
included,  among other items,  training and  relocating of former MMS employees,
systems  modifications,  and other one-time costs  associated with combining the
predecessor companies.

DISCUSSION OF THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2000 AND PRO FORMA THIRD QUARTER
      FISCAL YEAR 1999 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total sales for Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2000 were $1.22  billion,  an increase
of $62 million,  or 5%, over $1.16  billion for Pro Forma Third  Quarter  Fiscal
Year 1999. This growth was mostly attributable to favorable new sales trends and
solid comparable growth in existing accounts in most of the Company's divisions.
The School Services, Health Care and Canada divisions had 8% to 10% sales growth
in the current  quarter.  The  Corporate  Services and  Education  divisions had
strong growth when compared with the prior year's same period,  after  adjusting
the Education  division for a calendar shift  resulting in  approximately 5 to 7
fewer board days in the current quarter when compared with last year's quarter.

Managed  volume,  which  represents the Company's  measurement of gross revenues
associated  with all services the Company  manages on behalf of its clients,  is
most  relevant  in the  Health  Care and  Schools  divisions.  The  Health  Care
division's  managed  volume was  approximately  $716  million for Third  Quarter
Fiscal Year 2000, up $2 million compared with $714 million in managed volume for
same  quarter  last year.  The Health Care  division's  relatively  flat managed
volume growth was mostly due to the health care industry being under significant
financial  pressure,  which impacts a large number of the  Company's  clients in
certain  geographic  markets.  Managed  volume  for  the  Schools  division  was
approximately  $213 million for the Third Quarter  Fiscal Year 2000, an increase
of $17 million,  or 9% over the $196 million for Pro Forma Third Quarter  Fiscal
Year 1999.  The growth in the Schools  division  was due to the impact of strong
sales to new clients that added almost proportionately as much managed volume as
total sales for the period.

Operating profit before corporate items  (corporate  expenses,  interest expense
and amortization of intangible assets) totaled $86 million for the Third Quarter
Fiscal Year 2000, a 4%, or $4 million increase when compared with $82 million in
operating  profit for the Pro Forma Third  Quarter  Fiscal Year 1999.  Operating
profit  increased  mostly  due to  increases  in the Health  Care and  Corporate
Services divisions,  as Corporate Services  experienced strong comparable growth
in existing client sales, in addition to the favorable impact of strong sales to
new clients in the latter half of Fiscal Year 1999. In the Health Care division,
the third quarter in the prior year was impacted by  approximately $2 million in
bankruptcy  related  losses.  Partially  offsetting  the  increases in Corporate
Services  and  Health  Care were the  decreases  in the  Education  and  Schools
divisions  totaling  $4 million in the  aggregate  between the  quarters.  These
decreases were the result of several  under-performing client accounts that were
mostly  first  year,  larger  based,   accounts.  The  inefficiencies  in  these
under-performing  accounts are  anticipated  to be resolved  during the next two
quarters as the Company makes the  necessary  adjustments  at these  accounts to
reach  expected  operating   performance.   Also,  the  Education  division  had
approximately 5 to 7 fewer student board plan days in the current quarter versus
last year's quarter.

Total operating costs,  corporate expenses and amortization of intangible assets
represented,  in the aggregate,  95% of total sales for the Third Quarter Fiscal
Year 2000,  unchanged from Pro Forma Third Quarter Fiscal Year 1999's ratio. The
Company  anticipates  this margin will  continue to be flat for the remainder of
the  current  fiscal  year when  compared  with the prior  year,  as the Company
continues to reinvest the savings from its incremental  purchasing  synergies in
the  businesses.  Overall,  the Company  achieved about $5 million in additional
purchasing  synergies  for the Third Quarter  Fiscal Year 2000,  and as planned,
reinvested most of these synergies in sales staff and management  support teams.
The  Company  anticipates  that it  will  obtain  approximately  $5  million  in
additional  synergies in Fiscal Year 2000,  most of which will be  reinvested in
the  businesses.  The Company  continues  to  anticipate  synergies to reach $60
million in cost savings annually by fiscal year 2001.

Corporate  expenses and  amortization of intangible  assets in the Third Quarter
Fiscal Year 2000 totaled $30 million,  level with the prior year, which included
a $3.4 million  charge related to the  resignation of the former CEO.  Excluding
this  charge,  the  increase  in  corporate  expenses  was  primarily  due to an
approximate $2 million  increase for the impact of open positions  filled in the
latter half of Fiscal Year 1999,  and a $1 million  increase in assistance  fees
paid to Sodexho  Alliance  for services  received,  as agreed upon in the merger
agreements.

Pretax income increased $5 million, or 16%, to $36 million for the Third Quarter
Fiscal Year 2000, or an increase of $2 million (or 6%), after  adjusting for the
resignation charge taken in the prior year's quarter. The effective tax rate for
the  current  quarter  was  42.4%,  a decrease  from 44.4% for 1999,  due to the
continuing  implementation of effective tax planning  strategies.  Net income of
$21 million,  or $0.32 per diluted  share,  was an increase of 11% when compared
with the prior year's  quarter,  after  adjusting for the $1.9 million after tax
impact of the resignation  charge in the prior year's period.  Diluted  weighted
average  shares  outstanding  for the Third  Quarter  Fiscal Year 2000 were 63.4
million,  compared  with 63.9  million for the prior  year's same  period.  This
reduction was mostly due to the redemption of the convertible  subordinated debt
in  November  1999 (see Notes 3 and 4 to the  Condensed  Consolidated  Financial
Statements).

DISCUSSION OF FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR 2000 AND PRO FORMA
      FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR 1999 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total  sales for First Nine Months of Fiscal  Year 2000 were $3.69  billion,  an
increase of $230 million,  or 6.6%,  over $3.46 billion for Pro Forma First Nine
Months of Fiscal Year 1999. Overall, this growth was attributed to favorable new
sales  trends and solid  comparable  growth in existing  accounts in most of the
Company's  divisions.  The School Services and Canada divisions had double-digit
sales  growth  in the  current  period,  with  strong  growth  in the  remaining
divisions, when compared with the prior year's same period.

Managed  volume,  which  represents the Company's  measurement of gross revenues
associated  with all services the Company  manages on behalf of its clients,  is
most  relevant  in the  Health  Care and  Schools  divisions.  The  Health  Care
division's  managed volume was $2.16 billion for the First Nine Months of Fiscal
Year 2000,  up $28  million or 1% over the $2.13  billion in managed  volume for
same period last year. The Health Care division's relatively flat managed volume
growth was  mostly  due to the health  care  industry  being  under  significant
financial pressure, impacting a large number of the Company's clients in certain
geographic markets. Managed volume for the Schools division was $618 million for
the First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2000,  an  increase of $53  million,  or 9%
over the $565  million for Pro Forma First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 1999.  The
growth in the  Schools  division  was due to the  impact of strong  sales to new
clients that added almost  proportionately as much managed volume as total sales
for the period.

Operating profit before corporate items  (corporate  expenses,  interest expense
and  amortization of intangible  assets) totaled $267 million for the First Nine
Months of Fiscal Year 2000, an increase of $11 million, or 4% when compared with
$256 million in  operating  profit for the Pro Forma First Nine Months of Fiscal
Year 1999. Operating profit increased mostly due to increases in the Health Care
and Corporate  Services  divisions,  as Corporate  Services  experienced  strong
comparable  growth in existing client sales, in addition to the favorable impact
of strong new sales in the latter half of Fiscal  Year 1999.  In the Health Care
division,  the prior year's period was impacted by  approximately  $3 million in
bankruptcy  related  losses.  Partially  offsetting  the  increases in Corporate
Services and Health Care were the flat results in the Education division and the
9% decrease in the Schools  division  compared to the prior year's period.  This
weak performance was the result of several under-performing client accounts that
were mostly first year, larger based, accounts. The Company anticipates that the
inefficiencies  in these  under-performing  accounts will be resolved during the
next two  quarters  as the  Company  makes the  necessary  adjustments  at these
accounts to reach expected operating performance.

Total operating costs,  corporate expenses and amortization of intangible assets
represented,  in the  aggregate,  95% of total  sales for First  Nine  Months of
Fiscal  Year 2000,  unchanged  from Pro Forma  First Nine  Months of Fiscal Year
1999's ratio.  The Company  anticipates this margin will continue to be flat for
the  remainder of the current  fiscal year when compared with the prior year, as
the Company  continues to reinvest the savings from its  incremental  purchasing
synergies in the businesses.  Overall, the Company achieved about $15 million in
additional  purchasing  synergies for the First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2000,
and as planned, reinvested most of these synergies in sales staff and management
support teams.  The Company  anticipates  that it will obtain  approximately  $5
million in  additional  synergies  in Fiscal  Year  2000,  most of which will be
reinvested in the businesses.  The Company continues to anticipate  synergies to
reach $60 million in cost savings annually by fiscal year 2001.

Excluding a $3.4 million pretax charge related to the  resignation of the former
CEO taken in the prior year's period,  corporate  expenses and  amortization  of
intangible  assets in the First  Nine  Months of Fiscal  Year 2000  totaled  $92
million,  a 13% increase from the adjusted Pro Forma First Nine Months of Fiscal
Year 1999. This was primarily due to an increase of approximately $5 million for
the impact of open positions filled in the latter half of Fiscal Year 1999 and a
$4 million  increase in  assistance  fees paid to Sodexho  Alliance for services
received,  as agreed  upon in the merger  agreements.  The Pro Forma  First Nine
Months of Fiscal Year 1999 also included the  favorable  impact from the sale of
the Company's Bright Horizons Family Solutions ("BFAM")  investment for a pretax
gain of $8 million, or $4 million after-tax ($0.07 per diluted common share).

The  increase  in  corporate  expenses  along with the sale of BFAM in the prior
year's period  contributed to a decrease in pretax income of $3 million,  or 3%,
to $112 million for the First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2000. The effective tax
rate for the current  period was 43.5%,  a decrease from 44.4% for 1999,  due to
the continuing  implementation of effective tax planning strategies.  Net income
decreased to $63 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, compared with $64 million,
or $1.01 per  diluted  share for Pro Forma  First  Nine  Months of Fiscal  1999.
Diluted weighted average shares  outstanding for the First Nine Months of Fiscal
Year 2000 were 63.5 million,  compared to 64.0 million for the prior year's same
period.  This  reduction  was mostly due to the  redemption  of the  convertible
subordinated  debt  in  November  1999  (see  Notes  3  and 4 to  the  Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements).

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Sodexho Marriott Services,  Inc.  (together with its consolidated  subsidiaries,
the "Company") is the leading  provider in North America of outsourced  food and
facilities management services to businesses,  health care facilities,  colleges
and universities,  and primary and secondary schools. Food services include food
and  beverage  procurement,  preparation  and  menu  planning,  as  well  as the
operation and maintenance of food service and catering facilities,  generally on
a client's premises.  Facilities  management services include plant maintenance,
energy management, grounds keeping, housekeeping and custodial services.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have
been  prepared  without  audit.  Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures
normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  have been  condensed  or omitted.  The Company
believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.  However, the Condensed  Consolidated Financial Statements should be
read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto
included  in the  Company's  Annual  Report  on Form 10-K for the  period  ended
September 3, 1999.

In the opinion of management,  the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements   reflect  all  adjustments  (which  include  only  normal  recurring
adjustments)  necessary to present fairly the financial  position of the Company
as of June 2, 2000 and September 3, 1999,  and the results of operations for the
13 and 39 weeks ended June 2, 2000 and May 28, 1999.

Interim results are not necessarily  indicative of fiscal year performance.  All
material  intercompany   transactions  and  balances  between  Sodexho  Marriott
Services, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.  Certain
amounts  previously  presented have been  reclassified to conform to the current
presentation.

TRANSACTIONS

In general,  in March 1998,  the Company  distributed to its  shareholders  (the
"Distribution")  the  lodging  segment and two of the three lines of business in
the contract  services  segment - Marriott Senior Living  Services  ("MSLS") and
Marriott  Distribution  Services ("MDS"). The lodging, MSLS and MDS business are
collectively  referred  to as the  Distributed  Operations.  The  third  line of
business in the contract services segment, formerly known as Marriott Management
Services  ("MMS"),  combined with Sodexho North America  (Sodexho  Financiere du
Canada and subsidiaries, and International Catering Corporation and subsidiaries
taken  collectively  are known as "Sodexho  North America" or "Sodexho USA") and
became  the   principal   business  of  the  Company.   Immediately   after  the
Distribution, Sodexho transferred to the Company the operations of Sodexho North
America  combined  with a cash  payment  of $304  million in  exchange  for 29.9
million  shares of the Company's  common stock.  Lastly,  on March 27, 1998, the
Company  borrowed  $615 million and $620 million  under the Secured SMS Facility
and Guaranteed SMS Facility, respectively (see Note 3). These proceeds were used
to repurchase $713 million of the Company's $720 million  publicly held debt and
to repay its $950 million  outstanding  obligations under the Company's existing
credit facility (the "Refinancing"). Collectively, the Distribution, Acquisition
and Refinancing are called the "Transactions."

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

Revenues  are  recognized  at the time  services  are  rendered or products  are
delivered.  Revenues include  reimbursements for food and payroll costs incurred
on behalf of customers under contracts in which the Company manages food service
programs for a fee.  Losses,  if any,  are  provided for at the time  management
determines the cost will ultimately  exceed contract revenue for the duration of
the contract.

The allowance  for doubtful  accounts was $23 million and $21 million at June 2,
2000 and September 3, 1999,  respectively.  Concentration  of credit risk within
accounts  receivable is limited  because a large number of customers make up the
Company's  customer base, thus spreading risk  associated with trade credit.  In
addition,  the Company  closely  monitors its accounts  receivable.  The Company
generally  does not require  collateral  and  maintains  reserves for  potential
uncollectible amounts,  which, in the aggregate,  have not exceeded management's
expectations.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived  assets are reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events or changes in
circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of an  asset  may  not  be
recoverable.  If the sum of undiscounted  expected future cash flow is less than
the carrying amount of long-lived  assets,  the Company recognizes an impairment
loss based on the amount by which the carrying  amount of the asset  exceeds the
fair value of the asset.

INTEREST-RATE AGREEMENTS

The Company's  policies  prohibit the use of derivative  instruments for trading
purposes and  procedures  are in place to monitor and control their use. The use
of derivative instruments is limited to interest-rate agreements for the purpose
of reducing the  variability of the Company's debt costs.  These  agreements are
entered into in  conjunction  with the issuance of the debt they are intended to
modify.

The notional balances of these agreements  represent a balance used to calculate
the exchange of cash flows and are not assets or liabilities of the Company, and
do not  represent an exposure to credit loss.  The notional  amount and interest
payments  of  these  agreements  match  the  cash  flows  of the  related  debt.
Accordingly,  any market risk or opportunity associated with these agreements is
offset by the opposite  market impact on the related debt. The Company's  credit
risk related to  interest-rate  agreements  is  considered  low because they are
entered  into only with strong  creditworthy  counterparties  and are  generally
settled  on a net  basis.  The  difference  paid or  received  on  interest-rate
agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.

INCOME TAXES

The  Company  recognizes  deferred  tax  assets and  liabilities  based upon the
expected future tax consequences of existing  differences  between the financial
reporting and tax reporting  bases of assets and  liabilities and operating loss
and tax credit carryforwards.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic   earnings   per  share  is  computed  by  dividing   net  income  by  the
weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share
is computed by dividing net income,  adjusted for  interest  expense  related to
convertible securities  (after-tax),  by the diluted  weighted-average number of
outstanding  common  shares,  including the  "if-converted"  shares  relating to
convertible securities.

On October 7, 1999, Marriott International,  Inc. ("MI") notified all holders of
the LYONs (see "Convertible  Subordinated  Debt" in Note 3), that MI had elected
to  redeem  all of the LYONs at a price of  $619.65  for each  $1,000  principal
amount at maturity  of the LYONs,  with a  redemption  date of November 8, 1999.
Conversion  of the LYONs  resulted in the issuance of 0.8 million  shares of the
Company's common stock.

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company  considers  all highly liquid  investments  with a maturity of three
months or less at date of purchase  to be cash  equivalents.  The  Company  uses
drafts in its cash management system. At June 2, 2000 and September 3, 1999, the
Company  had $131  million  and $83 million of  outstanding  drafts  included in
accounts payable, respectively.

INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of food items and supplies, which are stated at the lower of
average cost or market, generally using the first-in, first-out method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line  method over the estimated  useful lives of the assets,  generally
ranging  from 3 to 40 years.  Replacements  and  improvements  are  capitalized.
Leasehold improvements,  net of estimated residual value, are amortized over the
shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible  assets  primarily  consist of goodwill and  customer  relationships.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line  basis over periods generally
ranging  from 30 to 40  years  for  goodwill  and 10 to 20  years  for  customer
relationships.  Amortization  expense totaled $9 million and $28 million for the
13 and 39 weeks  ended June 2,  2000,  respectively,  equal to the  amortization
expense for the same periods of the prior fiscal year.

OTHER ASSETS

Included  in other  assets  are  client  investments,  which  represent  amounts
provided  by the Company to clients at contract  inception  for the  purchase of
property and equipment  pertaining to the contract.  These amounts are amortized
over the life of the related contract.  When a contract  terminates prior to its
scheduled  termination  date, the client  generally  must repay any  unamortized
client investment balance to the Company.

ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive  income for the  Company  includes  activity  in foreign  exchange
translation  adjustments  and securities  available for sale under SFAS No. 115.
Items identified as comprehensive income are reported,  under separate captions,
in the  Condensed  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet and the  Condensed  Consolidated
Statement of Stockholders' Deficit.

Results for the Canada division are translated to U.S. dollars using the average
exchange rates during the period.  Assets and liabilities  are translated  using
the  exchange  rate in effect at the  applicable  balance  sheet  date,  and the
resulting  translation  adjustments  are reflected in  stockholders'  deficit as
accumulated other comprehensive income.

Total  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  included $2.1 million of gross
foreign exchange translations gains, net of taxes totaling $0.9 million, at June
2, 2000. Total  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income included gross foreign
exchange  translation  gains  totaling $3.1 million,  net of taxes totaling $1.4
million at September 3, 1999.  During the First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2000,
total  comprehensive  income was comprised of $63 million in net income and $1.0
million of gross foreign translation losses, net of taxes totaling $0.5 million.

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

SEGMENT REPORTING

Information  from  operating  segments  is  derived  from  methods  used  by the
Company's management to allocate resources and measure  performance.  For fiscal
year reporting, the Company disclosed profit/loss,  revenues and assets for each
segment  identified,  including  reconciliations  of these items to consolidated
totals.  For interim reporting  periods,  the Company disclosed  profit/loss and
revenues for each segment (see Note 6). The Company also disclosed the basis for
identifying  the segments  and the types of products  and  services  within each
segment.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

SFAS No. 133-- "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities,"
was  issued in June  1998 and will  require  the  Company  to record  derivative
instruments,  such as interest-rate agreements on the Consolidated Balance Sheet
as assets or liabilities,  measured at fair value. Currently, the Company treats
such  instruments as  off-balance-sheet  items.  Gains or losses  resulting from
changes in the values of those  derivatives  would be accounted for depending on
the  specific use of each  derivative  instrument  and whether it qualifies  for
hedge  accounting  treatment  as  stated  in the  standard.  In June  1999,  the
Financial Accounting Standards Board approved the deferral of the effective date
for SFAS No. 133 to all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000. Therefore, SFAS No. 133 will be effective for the Company on September
2,  2000,  the  beginning  of fiscal  year  2001.  The  impact to the  Company's
financial  position  of  implementing  SFAS  No.  133 is not  anticipated  to be
material.


(2)  INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING

Integration  costs,  reflecting the  undertaking by the Company to integrate and
realign  resources  for more  effective  and  efficient  execution  of operating
strategies,  totaled  $16  million  during the First Nine  Months of Fiscal Year
1999. The operating  profit before  corporate items for the First Nine Months of
Fiscal Year 1999 included $2 million for  integration  charges  while  corporate
expenses included $14 million of these charges.  The integration costs included,
among other items, training and relocating of former MMS employees,  incremental
overhead during the integration phase, systems modifications, and other one-time
costs.

Restructuring  costs represent  employee  termination  benefits,  office closure
expenditures, and other costs related to a restructuring plan initiated from the
Transactions. The acquisition reserve, which totaled $3 million at June 2, 2000,
generally  represents  the aggregate  remaining  estimated  cost of  termination
benefits for  approximately  350 former Sodexho North America  employees and the
estimated  cost for the closure and excess  capacity  in certain  Sodexho  North
America offices.

Acquisition reserve activity is detailed below:

Senior Secured Credit Facility - the senior secured credit facility  consists of
$235 million of revolving  credit and an additional $500 million,  six-year term
loan  facility.  Interest  is based on a bank  prime  rate,  an amount  over the
Federal  funds rate,  or an amount over the London  interbank  offered  rate for
Eurodollar  deposits ("LIBOR"),  payable in arrears quarterly.  At June 2, 2000,
the Company is paying a rate of 6.92% on the term loan  facility,  adjusted  for
fee  amortization  and hedging  costs.  The senior  secured  credit  facility is
secured predominately by inventory, accounts receivable and the stock of certain
subsidiaries  of the Company.  Up to $100 million of the $235 million  revolving
credit may be used to collateralize letters of credit, which totaled $33 million
at June 2, 2000,  and September 3, 1999.  At June 2, 2000,  $172 million of this
facility  was not used and was  available  to the  Company,  compared  with $150
million at September 3, 1999.

Senior  Guaranteed  Credit  Facility - the  senior  guaranteed  credit  facility
consists of a $620  million  seven-year  term loan.  Interest is based on a bank
prime  rate,  an amount over the  Federal  funds rate,  or an amount over LIBOR,
payable in arrears  quarterly.  At June 2, 2000, the Company is paying a rate of
6.95% on this facility,  adjusted for fee amortization  and hedging costs.  This
facility is guaranteed by Sodexho,  for which the Company pays Sodexho an annual
fee of 0.5% of the outstanding balance of the Senior Guaranteed Credit Facility,
or $3 million pretax.

The Company's  debt  agreements  require the  maintenance  of certain  financial
ratios and stockholders' equity balances,  and also include, among other things,
limitations on additional indebtedness, certain acquisitions, dividend payments,
pledging of assets,  and other  restrictions on operations related to cash flow.
The Company met the  financial  covenants of the debt  agreements  as of June 2,
2000 and for the 39 weeks then ended.

On March  25,  1996,  the  Company  issued  $540  million  (principal  amount at
maturity)  of zero coupon  convertible  subordinated  debt in the form of Liquid
Yield  Option(TM)  Notes ("LYONs") due 2011. Each $1,000 LYON was convertible at
any time, at the option of the holder,  into 8.76 shares of the Company's Common
Stock prior to the Transactions and the Distribution (see below). The LYONs were
issued at a discount  representing  a yield to  maturity  of 4.25%.  The Company
recorded the LYONs at the discounted amount at issuance.  Accretion was recorded
as interest  expense and an increase to the carrying value.  Gross proceeds from
the LYONs issuance were $288 million.

Upon  consummation  of the  Distribution,  each LYON was  convertible  into 2.19
shares of the Company's  common stock (after giving effect for the  one-for-four
reverse  stock split),  as well as 17.52 shares of MI's Common Stock.  The LYONs
were assumed by MI, and the Company assumed  responsibility for a portion of the
LYONs equal to its pro rata share of the relative  equity  values of the Company
and MI as  determined  in good faith by the Company  prior to the  Distribution,
although MI remained  liable to the holders of the LYONs for any  payments  that
the Company may have failed to make on its allocable portion.

On October 7, 1999, MI notified all holders of the LYONs, that MI had elected to
redeem all of the LYONs at a price of $619.65 for each $1,000  principal  amount
at  maturity of the LYONs,  with a  redemption  date of  November  8, 1999.  The
Company's  allocated  portion of the LYONs  totaled  $30  million  just prior to
conversion,  and at September  3, 1999.  The results of the  redemption  for the
Company were the issuance of  approximately  760,000 common shares and a payment
of $10.8 million to MI for the Company's share of bondholders choosing to redeem
in cash.

INTEREST-RATE AGREEMENTS

At June 2, 2000,  the  majority  of the  Company's  debt was payable at variable
rates of interest. As part of the Refinancing of the Company's debt, the Company
entered into several  interest-rate  agreements  on May 29, 1998  totaling  $900
million in notional  principal  balances to hedge a portion of its variable rate
debt. These  agreements  guarantee a fixed rate of interest over the life of the
agreements.  The Company is paying a fixed rate ranging between 5.70% and 5.90%,
plus  a  residual   margin  that  is  not  hedged  relating  to  the  underlying
variable-rate  debt.  The  weighted-average  rate for the total debt  portfolio,
including the effect of the interest-rate agreements, was 7.00% at June 2, 2000.
These agreements expire between May 2001 and February 2005.

Details of these interest rate agreements as of June 2, 2000 are as follows:

(5)  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT AND INCENTIVE PLANS

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

Employees  meeting  certain  eligibility  requirements  can  participate  in the
Company's deferred  compensation and savings plans. As part of the Distribution,
the  Company  elected  to  continue  the  deferred  compensation  plan  and  has
established  a new  savings  plan for the  Company  separate  from the MI profit
sharing  plan.  The  Company  assumed the  obligations  and  liabilities  of the
undistributed  portion of the deferred  compensation plan in relationship to the
employees retained by the Company after the Distribution.  The Company currently
contributes  generally 50% of the  participants'  contributions  to these plans,
limited to 6% of  compensation,  with  certain  exceptions.  For the 13-week and
39-week periods ended June 2, 2000, expenses that related to these plans totaled
$2.8 million and $8.5 million,  respectively,  compared to $2.4 million and $9.2
million for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended May 28, 1999, respectively.

STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company has two stock-based incentive plans-- the Sodexho Marriott Services,
Inc. 1993 and 1998  Comprehensive  Stock Incentive Plans (the "1993 Plan" or the
"1998 Plan"). The purpose of these plans is to promote and enhance the long-term
growth of the  Company by  aligning  the  interests  of the  employees  with the
interests of the Company's  shareholders.  The 1993 Plan  administers  converted
stock  options  prior to the  Distribution,  with no new awards  made under this
plan. The 1998 Plan governs the issuance and administration of conversion awards
and is also  available  for the  issuance of new  awards.  These stock plans are
administered by the Compensation  Policy Committee as authorized by the Board of
Directors.  As part of the Distribution and the amendment of these plans, and in
relationship  to the changes in the capital  structure of the Company  after the
Distribution,  the Board of Directors  has  approved up to 10 million  shares of
common stock to be available  under the 1998 Plan for converted  options as well
as new awards.

Employee  stock options may be granted to officers and key employees at exercise
prices  not less than the  market  price of the  Company's  stock on the date of
grant.  Most options under the stock option plans are  exercisable in cumulative
installments  of one-fourth at the end of each of the first four years following
the date of grant.  The Company issued 2.6 million in stock option awards during
the first 39 weeks of fiscal year 2000, which included  approximately 500,000 of
one-time grants for eligible unit general managers.

A summary of the Company's  stock option activity during the 39 weeks ended June
2, 2000, is presented below:

(7)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The nature of the  business of the  Company  causes it to be involved in routine
legal  proceedings  from time to time.  Management of the Company  believes that
there are no pending or threatened legal  proceedings that upon resolution would
have a material adverse impact to the Company.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The  following  discussion  presents an analysis of results of operations of the
Company for the unaudited 13-week and 39-week periods ended June 2, 2000 ("Third
Quarter  Fiscal  Year  2000"  and  "First  Nine  Months of  Fiscal  Year  2000,"
respectively)  as compared  with the  historical  unaudited  13-week and 39-week
periods  ended May 28, 1999  ("Third  Quarter  Fiscal Year 1999" and "First Nine
Months of Fiscal Year 1999," respectively).

DUE TO  THE  DIFFERENCES  IN  THE  COMPARABILITY  OF  THE  COMPANY'S  HISTORICAL
OPERATING  RESULTS  FOR THE THIRD  QUARTER  AND FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR
2000 VERSUS THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR'S PERIODS, MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT IT IS MOST
MEANINGFUL AND RELEVANT,  IN UNDERSTANDING THE PRESENT AND ONGOING OPERATIONS OF
THE COMPANY,  TO REVIEW THE COMPANY'S PRO FORMA OPERATING  RESULTS  PRESENTED IN
THE "INTRODUCTION" SECTION OF THIS REPORT.

THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2000 VS. THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 1999

Total sales for Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2000 were $1.22  billion,  an increase
of $62 million,  or 5%, over $1.16 billion for Third  Quarter  Fiscal Year 1999.
This growth was mostly  attributable  to  favorable  new sales  trends and solid
comparable growth in existing accounts in most of the Company's  divisions.  The
School Services,  Health Care and Canada divisions had 8% to 10% sales growth in
the current quarter.  The Corporate Services and Education  divisions had strong
growth when  compared  with the prior year's same period,  after  adjusting  the
Education  division for a calendar shift related to  approximately  5 to 7 fewer
board days in the current quarter when compared with last year's quarter.

Managed  volume,  which  represents the Company's  measurement of gross revenues
associated  with all services the Company  manages on behalf of its clients,  is
most  relevant  in the  Health  Care and  Schools  divisions.  The  Health  Care
division's  managed  volume was  approximately  $716  million for Third  Quarter
Fiscal Year 2000, up $2 million compared with $714 million in managed volume for
same  quarter  last year.  The Health Care  division's  relatively  flat managed
volume growth was mostly due to the health care industry being under significant
financial  pressure,  which impacts a large number of the  Company's  clients in
certain  geographic  markets.  Managed  volume  for  the  Schools  division  was
approximately  $213 million for the Third Quarter  Fiscal Year 2000, an increase
of $17 million,  or 9% over the $196 million for Third Quarter Fiscal Year 1999.
The growth in the Schools  division was due to the impact of strong sales to new
clients that added almost  proportionately as much managed volume as total sales
for the period.

Operating profit before corporate items  (corporate  expenses,  interest expense
and amortization of intangible assets) totaled $86 million for the Third Quarter
Fiscal Year 2000, a 6%, or $5 million increase when compared with $81 million in
operating  profit  for the Third  Quarter  Fiscal  Year 1999.  Operating  profit
increased  mostly due to  increases  in the Health Care and  Corporate  Services
divisions,  as  Corporate  Services  experienced  strong  comparable  growth  in
existing  client sales,  in addition to the favorable  impact of strong sales to
new clients in the latter half of Fiscal Year 1999. In the Health Care division,
the third quarter in the prior year was impacted by  approximately $2 million in
bankruptcy  related  losses.  Partially  offsetting  the  increases in Corporate
Services  and  Health  Care were the  decreases  in the  Education  and  Schools
divisions  totaling  $4 million in the  aggregate  between the  quarters.  These
decreases were the result of several  under-performing client accounts that were
mostly  first  year,  larger  based,   accounts.  The  inefficiencies  in  these
under-performing  accounts are  anticipated  to be resolved  during the next two
quarters as the Company makes the  necessary  adjustments  at these  accounts to
reach  expected  operating   performance.   Also,  the  Education  division  had
approximately 5 to 7 fewer student board plan days in the current quarter versus
last year's quarter.

Excluding  integration  costs,  total operating  costs,  corporate  expenses and
amortization of intangible assets  represented,  in the aggregate,  95% of total
sales for the Third Quarter  Fiscal Year 2000,  unchanged from the Third Quarter
Fiscal Year 1999's ratio.  The Company  anticipates this margin will continue to
be flat for the  remainder  of the current  fiscal year when  compared  with the
prior  year,  as  the  Company  continues  to  reinvest  the  savings  from  its
incremental  purchasing  synergies  in  the  businesses.  Overall,  the  Company
achieved  about $5  million in  additional  purchasing  synergies  for the Third
Quarter Fiscal Year 2000, and as planned,  reinvested most of these synergies in
sales staff and management  support teams. The Company  anticipates that it will
obtain  approximately  $5 million in  additional  synergies in Fiscal Year 2000,
most of which will be reinvested  in the  businesses.  The Company  continues to
anticipate  synergies  to reach $60 million in cost  savings  annually by fiscal
year 2001.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
      FINANCIAL CONDITION, CONTINUED

THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2000 VS. THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 1999, CONTINUED

Corporate  expenses and  amortization of intangible  assets in the Third Quarter
Fiscal Year 2000 totaled $30 million,  an increase of $3 million,  or 11%,  over
the prior  year's  total,  after  adjusting  for  approximately  $3  million  in
integration  costs (see Note 2) and a $3.4 million  pretax charge related to the
resignation of the former CEO included in the prior year's quarter. The increase
in corporate  expenses was primarily due to a $2 million increase for the impact
of open  positions  filled in the  latter  half of Fiscal  Year  1999,  and a $1
million  increase  in  assistance  fees paid to Sodexho  Alliance  for  services
received, as agreed upon in the merger agreements.

After adjusting for the integration  costs and the  resignation  charge,  pretax
income increased $2 million,  or 6%, to $36 million for the Third Quarter Fiscal
Year 2000. The effective tax rate for the current  quarter was 42.4%, a decrease
from 44.4% for 1999,  due to the  continuing  implementation  of  effective  tax
planning  strategies.  Net income of $21  million,  or $0.32 per diluted  share,
increased 11% when compared with the prior year's  quarter,  after adjusting for
the integration  charges and the resignation  charge in the prior year's period.
Diluted  weighted  average shares  outstanding for the Third Quarter Fiscal Year
2000 were 63.4  million,  compared  with 63.9  million for the prior year's same
period.  This  reduction  was mostly due to the  redemption  of the  convertible
subordinated  debt  in  November  1999  (see  Notes  3  and 4 to  the  Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements).

FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR 2000 VS. FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR 1999

Total  sales for First Nine Months of Fiscal  Year 2000 were $3.69  billion,  an
increase of $230 million,  or 6.6%,  over $3.46 billion for First Nine Months of
Fiscal Year 1999.  Overall,  this growth was  attributed  to favorable new sales
trends and solid comparable growth in existing accounts in most of the Company's
divisions.  The School  Services and Canada  divisions  had  double-digit  sales
growth in the current  period,  with strong growth in the  remaining  divisions,
when compared with the prior year's same period.

The Health Care  division's  managed volume was $2.16 billion for the First Nine
Months of Fiscal  Year  2000,  up $28  million  or 1% over the $2.13  billion in
managed volume for same period last year. The Health Care division's  relatively
flat  managed  volume  growth was mostly due to the health care  industry  being
under significant financial pressure,  impacting a large number of the Company's
clients in certain geographic  markets.  Managed volume for the Schools division
was $618  million for the First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2000,  an increase of
$53  million,  or 9% over the $565  million for First Nine Months of Fiscal Year
1999.  The growth in the  Schools  division  was due to the impact of strong new
sales that added almost  proportionately  as much managed  volume as total sales
for the period.

Operating profit before corporate items  (corporate  expenses,  interest expense
and  amortization of intangible  assets) totaled $267 million for the First Nine
Months of Fiscal Year 2000, an increase of $13 million, or 5% when compared with
$254 million in operating  profit for the First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 1999.
Operating  profit  increased  mostly due to  increases  in the  Health  Care and
Corporate  Services   divisions,   as  Corporate  Services   experienced  strong
comparable  growth in existing client sales, in addition to the favorable impact
of strong  sales to new clients in the latter  half of Fiscal Year 1999.  In the
Health Care division,  the prior year's period was impacted by  approximately $3
million in bankruptcy  related  losses.  Partially  offsetting  the increases in
Corporate  Services  and  Health  Care were the flat  results  in the  Education
division  and the 5%  decrease  in the  Schools  division  compared to the prior
year's period. This weak performance was the result of several  under-performing
client accounts that were mostly first year, larger based, accounts. The Company
anticipates that the inefficiencies in these  under-performing  accounts will be
resolved  during  the next two  quarters  as the  Company  makes  the  necessary
adjustments at these accounts to reach expected operating performance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
      FINANCIAL CONDITION, CONTINUED

FIRST NINE MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR 2000 VS. FIRST NINE MONTHS OF
      FISCAL YEAR 1999, CONTINUED

Excluding  integration  costs (see Note 2),  total  operating  costs,  corporate
expenses and amortization of intangible  assets  represented,  in the aggregate,
95% of total  sales for First Nine Months of Fiscal  Year 2000,  unchanged  from
First Nine Months of Fiscal  Year 1999's  ratio.  The Company  anticipates  this
margin will  continue to be flat for the  remainder  of the current  fiscal year
when  compared  with the prior year,  as the Company  continues  to reinvest the
savings from its incremental  purchasing  synergies in the businesses.  Overall,
the Company  achieved about $15 million in additional  purchasing  synergies for
the First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2000,  and as planned,  reinvested  most of
these  synergies  in sales  staff and  management  support  teams.  The  Company
anticipates that it will obtain approximately $5 million in additional synergies
in Fiscal Year 2000,  most of which will be  reinvested in the  businesses.  The
Company  continues to anticipate  synergies to reach $60 million in cost savings
annually by fiscal year 2001.

Corporate  expenses  and  amortization  of  intangible  assets in the First Nine
Months of Fiscal Year 2000  totaled $92 million,  a 14% increase  from the First
Nine Months of Fiscal Year 1999, after adjusting for  approximately  $14 million
in  integration  costs (see Note 2) and a $3.4 million  pretax charge related to
the resignation of the former CEO included in the prior year's period.  This was
primarily due to an increase of  approximately $5 million for the impact of open
positions  filled  in the  latter  half of  Fiscal  Year  1999 and a $4  million
increase in assistance fees paid to Sodexho Alliance for services  received,  as
agreed upon in the merger agreements.  The First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 1999
also  included  the  favorable  impact  from  the sale of the  Company's  Bright
Horizons Family Solutions  ("BFAM")  investment for a pretax gain of $8 million,
or $4 million after-tax ($0.07 per diluted common share).

After adjusting for integration  costs,  the resignation  charge and the sale of
BFAM in the prior year's period,  pretax income increased $2 million,  or 2%, to
$112 million for the First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2000.  The  effective  tax
rate for the current  period was 43.5%,  a decrease from 44.4% for 1999,  due to
the continuing  implementation of effective tax planning strategies.  Net income
increased to $63 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, compared with $55 million,
or $0.87 per diluted share for First Nine Months of Fiscal 1999,  reflecting the
integration  costs  and the  resignation  charge  in the  prior  year's  period,
partially  offset by the gain on sale of BFAM.  Diluted  weighted average shares
outstanding  for the First Nine  Months of Fiscal  Year 2000 were 63.5  million,
compared with 64.0 million for the prior year's same period.  This reduction was
mostly due to the redemption of the  convertible  subordinated  debt in November
1999 (see Notes 3 and 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company is highly  leveraged and  anticipates  that it would have  long-term
unsecured debt ratings,  if obtained,  below  investment  grade based on its pro
forma financial  statements.  The debt resulting from the  Refinancing  contains
restrictive  covenants  and  requires  grants  of  security  and  guarantees  by
subsidiaries  of the  Company,  which  limit  the  Company's  ability  to  incur
additional debt and engage in certain other activities. Additionally, these debt
covenants limit the Company's ability to pay dividends.

Capital requirements are funded from a combination of existing cash balances and
operating cash flow. Additionally, the Company anticipates achieving annual cost
savings of  approximately  $60  million  pretax by the end of fiscal  year 2001,
resulting from  purchasing  actions and  administrative  synergies.  The Company
estimates  that  it  will  achieve  approximately  $20  million  in  incremental
synergies for the full fiscal year 2000,  compared with $25 million  achieved in
fiscal year 1999.  These  anticipated cost savings will be available to pay down
debt and reinvest in the Company to fund  activities to enhance its  competitive
position.  Anticipated  incremental  synergies generated in fiscal year 2000 are
expected to be, for the most part,  reinvested  during  fiscal year 2000.  These
reinvestments  have been targeted  primarily for additional sales and management
personnel.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
      FINANCIAL CONDITION, CONTINUED

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, CONTINUED

On October 13, 1999,  the Board of Directors  declared an $0.08 per common share
dividend  for Fiscal Year 1999,  paid on December  10, 1999 to  shareholders  of
record on  November  22,  1999.  The Company  may pay  dividends  in the future,
subject to the restrictive  covenants contained in the Company's credit facility
agreements  and other  relevant  considerations.  In  general,  the  restrictive
covenants  do not permit the  Company to pay  dividends  to  shareholders  in an
amount  greater than 40% of the Company's  net income,  or 45% when the ratio of
the Company's consolidated debt to Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation
and Amortization ratio ("EBITDA", as defined in the documentation for the credit
facility  agreements) is less than 4 but not less than 3. This  restriction will
no longer  apply when such ratio is less than 3. The  payment and amount of cash
dividends on the Company's  common stock will be subject to the sole  discretion
of the Company's Board,  which will review the Company's dividend policy at such
times as may be deemed  appropriate.  The Board will closely monitor the results
of the Company's operations,  capital requirements,  and other considerations to
determine the extent to which a dividend may be declared in future periods.

In addition, the Company has undertaken an information systems strategy study to
evaluate the current state of its information  systems, and consider information
technology  options.  Among the options under  consideration  is the adoption of
certain elements of the technology  platform adopted by Sodexho  Alliance.  This
evaluation  will require  additional time to study and review  alternatives  and
their  impact  on  capital  investments,  earnings,  shareholder  value  and the
provisions of the Company's debt agreements. Strategic developments in this area
are  expected to be finalized in fiscal year 2001.  Most  recently,  the Company
began a study  of a  solution  set for  payroll,  benefits  and  human  resource
information   systems,  as  the  Company  migrates  from  the  current  Marriott
International  payroll-related  systems.  The Company expects to migrate off the
Marriott International payroll-related  infrastructure no later than fiscal year
2002.

Overall, the size of the Company's  indebtedness,  its restrictive covenants and
other restrictions on the Company's  activities contained in its credit facility
agreements  may limit the  Company's  ability to  respond to market  conditions,
satisfy  capital  expenditure   requirements,   meet  contractual  or  financial
obligations,   incur   additional   debt,   invest  in  information   technology
infrastructure  or engage in other  activities.  Subject to the  foregoing,  the
Company  believes  that current cash flow  generated  from  operations  and cash
balances will be adequate to finance  ongoing  capital needs,  meet debt service
requirements and fund the Company's planned growth initiatives.

As of June 2, 2000,  the Company had a $235 million  revolving  credit  facility
available at an interest rate of 9.00% to provide funds for liquidity,  seasonal
borrowing  needs and other  general  corporate  purposes.  At June 2, 2000,  $30
million of this facility was  outstanding,  while an  additional  $33 million of
this revolving  credit  facility was utilized by letters of credit  outstanding,
principally related to insurance programs.

The Company is required to make  quarterly  cash  interest  payments on its term
facilities,  as well as scheduled  principal  repayments  on its Senior  Secured
Credit  Facility (see Note 3) amounting to  approximately:  $80 million in 2000;
$80 million in 2001;  $90 million in 2002;  $115 million in 2003 and $65 million
in 2004.

On October 7, 1999,  Marriott  International  notified all holders of the LYONs,
that Marriott International had elected to redeem all of the LYONs at a price of
$619.65  for each  $1,000  principal  amount at  maturity  of the LYONs,  with a
redemption  date of November  8, 1999.  The  results of the  redemption  for the
Company were the issuance of  approximately  760,000 common shares and a payment
of $10.8 million to MI for the Company's share of bondholders choosing to redeem
in cash.

During the First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2000,  the Company  experienced  its
normal seasonal  impact on working  capital as accounts  receivable and accounts
payable  increased  with the  increase  in overall  demand for  services  in the
Education and Schools divisions during the period.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

SFAS No. 133-- "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities,"
was  issued in June  1998 and will  require  the  Company  to record  derivative
instruments, such as interest-rate agreements, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet
as assets or liabilities,  measured at fair value. Currently, the Company treats
such  instruments as off-balance-  sheet items.  Gains or losses  resulting from
changes in the values of those  derivatives  would be accounted for depending on
the  specific use of each  derivative  instrument  and whether it qualifies  for
hedge  accounting  treatment  as  stated  in the  standard.  In June  1999,  the
Financial Accounting Standards Board approved the deferral of the effective date
for SFAS No. 133 to all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2000. Therefore, SFAS No. 133 will be effective for the Company on September
2,  2000,  the  beginning  of fiscal  year  2001.  The  impact to the  Company's
financial  position  of  implementing  SFAS  No.  133 is not  anticipated  to be
material.

YEAR 2000

The Company has actively  addressed  potential  Year 2000  issues.  These issues
could have arisen at any point in the Company's purchasing,  supply, processing,
distribution and financial chains. Although incomplete or untimely resolution of
the Year 2000 issue by the Company, its key suppliers, clients and other parties
could have had a material adverse effect on the Company's  business,  results of
operations, financial condition and cash flow, the results to date indicate that
Year 2000 issues have had no material adverse impact on the Company.


ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's earnings are not materially affected by changes in interest rates,
due to the relatively  low balances of borrowings at floating  interest rates as
well as notes  receivable  which  earn a  variable  rate of  interest.  However,
changes in  interest  rates also  impact the fair value of the  Company's  debt,
totaling $1.0 billion at June 2, 2000. If interest rates  increased by 100 basis
points,   the  fair  value  of  the  Company's  debt  would  have  decreased  by
approximately $17 million,  while a 100 basis point decrease in rates would have
increased the fair value of the  Company's  debt by  approximately  $18 million,
based on balances at June 2, 2000.
