statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments for normal recurring
accruals. These adjustments are necessary, in the opinion of
management, for a fair presentation of the financial position,
the results of operations and the cash flows for the interim
periods presented.  The results of operations for the interim
periods reported herein are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the full year.  For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended June 1, 1996.


NOTE B - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
On September 26, 1996 the Company declared a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.205 per share of outstanding common stock
payable on October 31, 1996 to shareholders of record at the
close of business on October 11, 1996.


NOTE C - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
The prior year historical condensed consolidated financial
statements for the thirteen weeks ended September 2, 1995
reflect a period during which the Company did not operate as a
separate, independent company, and certain assumptions were
made in preparing such statements.  Therefore, such historical
statements may not necessarily reflect the consolidated results
of operations or financial position that would have existed had
the Company been a separate, independent company.

The pro forma information presents the Company's results as if
the spin-off from Morrison Restaurants Inc. ("MRI") occurred on
June 5, 1994 and reflects adjustments for the estimated
additional costs of being a separate, independent company.

     Note 1--The pro forma adjustments to the accompanying
historical statement of income for the thirteen weeks ending
September 2, 1995 are described below:

(a)  To record the increase in operating and selling,
  general and administrative expenses which presumably would
  have been incurred by the Company as a separate, stand-alone
  entity.

(b)  To record the estimated income tax benefit associated
  with pro forma adjustment (a) at an assumed combined state and
  federal effective income tax rate of 41.3% for the thirteen
  week period ending September 2, 1995.  The assumed effective
  income tax rate is comprised of a 35% statutory federal income
  tax rate plus applicable state income taxes and permanent
  differences, less applicable tax credits.
     
     Note 2--The historical operating costs and expenses
include certain allocated expenses from MRI.





NOTE D - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during each quarter and are adjusted for
equivalent shares.  Equivalent shares are the assumed
conversion of shares issuable upon exercise of options, after
the assumed repurchase of common shares with the related
proceeds.  The difference between primary and fully diluted
weighted average shares reflects the maximum extent of
potential dilution that conversions of shares could create.
The number of equivalent shares used for the prior year for
purposes of calculating pro forma earnings per share is based
on the number of shares of Morrison Restaurants Inc. common
stock and common stock equivalents for such period adjusted for
the one for three distribution ratio.




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



GENERAL
Morrison Health Care, Inc. ("MHCI" or the "Company"), a Georgia
corporation, was spun off from Morrison Restaurants Inc. in
March 1996.  The discussion below relates to the results of
operations of the Company for the thirteen week period ending
August 31, 1996.  The pro forma financial information for the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 presents the Company's results as
if the spin-off from Morrison Restaurants Inc. had occurred on
June 5, 1994, and reflects adjustments for the estimated
additional costs of being an independent company.  The
equivalent shares for periods prior to the spin-off are based
on the number of shares of Morrison Restaurants Inc. common
stock and common stock equivalents adjusted for the one for
three distribution ratio.


Results of Operations
The Company reported net income from continuing operations of
$2.7 million for the thirteen week period ended August 31,
1996, compared with pro forma net income of $2.9 million
reported for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.
The decrease in net income from the prior year primarily
relates to increased insurance costs.


Revenue
Revenue from continuing operations decreased $3.6 million or
6.5% from $56.3 million for the quarter ended August 31, 1996.
The decrease was the result of a net decrease in the number of
accounts and contract shifts from a profit or loss account type
to a management fee account type.

Managed volume (which is defined as MHCI revenue, as reported,
plus client paid cost) from continuing operations increased
$4.2 million or 3.8% from $109.4 million for the quarter ended
August 31, 1996.  The increase was due to growth in continuing
accounts.


Operating Costs
Operating costs decreased $3.0 million or 6.5% to $43.0 million
for the quarter ended August 31, 1996.  These costs have
decreased from the comparable periods in the prior year as a
result of a change in the mix of account types where the
Company pays operating expenses to account types where the
client pays such expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter
were flat as compared to the same period of the prior year.


Interest Expense (net of Interest Income)
Net interest expense decreased to $0.1 million for the quarter
ended August 31, 1996 from $.4 million for the same period of
the prior year due to a decrease in the Company's debt and
receipt of $.2 million in interest income.


Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations for the
thirteen weeks ended August 31, 1996 was 41.6% as compared to
41.3% for the same period of the prior year.


Earnings per Share
Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during each quarter and are adjusted for
equivalent shares.  Equivalent shares are the assumed
conversion of shares issuable upon exercise of options, after
the assumed repurchase of common shares with the related
proceeds.  The difference between primary and fully diluted
weighted average shares reflects the maximum extent of
potential dilution that conversions of shares could create.
The number of equivalent shares used for the prior year for
purposes of calculating pro forma earnings per share is based
on the number of shares of Morrison Restaurants Inc. common
stock and common stock equivalents for such period adjusted for
the one for three distribution ratio.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total assets at August 31, 1996 were $62.0 million, a $.5
million decrease from $62.5 million as of the prior fiscal year
end. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in accounts
receivable and the early collection of a note receivable net of
an increase in cash.

Total liabilities at August 31, 1996 were $57.0 million, a $.9
million decrease from $57.8 million as of the end of the prior
fiscal year. This decrease was primarily due to a $1.3 million
decrease in debt.

The Company expects that funds generated from operations and
existing lines of credit will be sufficient to meet its normal
operating requirements over the near term.



Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
The foregoing sections contain "forward-looking" statements
which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs
concerning future events, including statements regarding
liquidity and capital resources.  The Company cautions that a
number of important factors could, individually or in the
aggregate, cause actual results to differ materially from such
forward-looking statements including, without limitation, the
following: health care spending trends; changes in health care
regulations; increased competition in the health care food and
nutrition market; customer's acceptance of the Company's cost
savings programs; and changes in laws and regulations affecting
labor and employee benefit costs.



PART II -  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is presently, and from time to time, subject to
pending claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of its
business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate
resolution of these pending legal proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's operations or
consolidated financial position.



ITEM 5    OTHER INFORMATION
At its quarterly meeting held on September 26, 1996, the Board
of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.205 per share,
payable on October 31, 1996 to shareholders of record at the
close of business on October 11, 1996.
