ARAMARK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

(Unaudited)

(In thousands)

Although ARAMARK Corporation continued as the same legal entity after the going-private transaction (the “Transaction”), the consolidated statements of operations are presented for two periods: Predecessor and Successor, which relate to the period preceding the Transaction and the period succeeding the Transaction, respectively. The Company refers to the operations of ARAMARK Corporation and subsidiaries for both the Predecessor and Successor periods. We have prepared our supplementary discussion of the results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 27, 2008 by comparing the three months ended June 27, 2008 to the three months ended June 29, 2007 and the nine months ended June 27, 2008 to the mathematical combination of the Successor and Predecessor periods in the nine months ended June 29, 2007. Although this presentation does not comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we believe that it provides a meaningful method of comparison because it enables us to compare our consolidated results over equivalent periods of time. The combined operating results have not been prepared as pro forma results under applicable regulations and may not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent the Transaction and may not be predictive of future results of operations.

ADJUSTED SALES GROWTH

Management believes that presentation of sales growth, adjusted to eliminate the effects of acquisitions, divestitures, the impact of foreign currency translation and conforming the fiscal reporting period of a subsidiary to that of the Company in fiscal 2007, provides useful information to investors because it enhances comparability between the current year and prior year reporting periods. Elimination of the currency translation effect provides constant currency comparisons without the distortion of currency rate fluctuations.

ADJUSTED OPERATING INCOME

Management believes that presentation of operating income growth, adjusted to eliminate charges related to the Transaction, a currency transaction gain in fiscal 2007, the impact of the divestiture of SMG, a venue management company, in 2007, including the gain from the sale, insurance proceeds related to Hurricane Katrina received in fiscal 2007 and the impact of foreign currency translation, provides useful information to investors because it enhances comparability between the current year and prior year reporting periods.
