PART I
Item 1.     Business.

Introduction

Effective March 9, 1996, Morrison Restaurants Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("MRI"), distributed to its shareholders all of the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Morrison Health
Care, Inc. (the "Company"), which held the health care food and
nutrition services assets and business of MRI.  As a result of
the Distribution, MRI's shareholders received one share of
Company common stock for every three shares of MRI held.

General

Morrison Health Care, Inc., a Georgia corporation, was spun off
from Morrison Restaurants Inc. in March 1996.  MHCI is the only
national, public company focused exclusively on providing food
and nutrition services to health care facilities.  The Company's
mission is "to be the leading provider of food and nutrition
services to the health care industry, fully committed to
maximizing quality and value in everything the Company does for
its clients, customers, team members and shareowners".  With
contracts in 31 states and Washington D.C., MHCI is one of the
leading providers of food and nutrition services to hospitals and
other health care facilities across North America.

The Company's food service business has its origins in the health
care food service operations developed by it in the early 1950's.
The Company has expanded through its own marketing and sales
force and by acquiring other food service businesses.  In August
1994, the Company sold certain of its education, business and
industry ("B&I") contracts and assets and closed the remaining
B&I accounts.  This divestiture, which left the Company with only
health care contracts, allowed the Company to concentrate its
capital and management team in the health care industry which
Management believes has a better opportunity for growth and
profitability.

Operations

Morrison Health Care, Inc. operates the food and nutrition
services departments of hospitals and other health care
facilities.  These departments typically include retail outlets
for staff and visitors and patient food and nutrition services.
MHCI accounts range in size from 100 bed specialty hospitals to
facilities with over 2,000 beds.  The Company has operations in
31 states and Washington, D.C.  Approximately 75% of the accounts
are in hospitals.

MHCI has capitalized on its retail heritage in operating
restaurants to bring a retail-oriented mentality to health care
clients.  Along with managing the food service facilities, the
Company also provides dietary services to some of the largest
hospitals in America.

The Company provides its clients with the flexibility to adjust
programs, staffing and service plans to meet the changing needs
of the industry.  MHCI offers its clients programs designed to
reduce costs and increase customer (patients and staff)
satisfaction.  To better serve its clients and provide them with
specialized expertise, MHCI's staff is organized into regional
teams.  Each team includes a regional vice president, nutrition
services specialist, culinary specialist, human resources
director, support services coordinator and a director of business
development who are dedicated to sharing the best industry
practices and performance improvement ideas.  The regional teams
are supported by a corporate staff that includes nutrition
services, marketing, sales, human resources, legal, finance,
layout and design and culinary services.

MHCI offers its services pursuant to three general types of
contracts:(i) profit and loss (or guaranteed cost) contract,
where MHCI assumes the risk of profit or loss for the food
service operation; (ii) management fee contract, where the client
reimburses MHCI for all costs incurred in providing the services
contracted for and a negotiated fixed management fee for
supervising the client's food and nutrition services operations;
and(iii) management fee contract with incentives and penalties,
under which MHCI manages the client's food and nutrition
operations on a management fee basis, with the amount of the
management fee determined based on the achievement of
predetermined goals. Approximately 50% of MHCI's accounts are
operated pursuant to management fee contracts, although
management fee contracts with incentives and penalties are
becoming more popular.  Substantially all of MHCI's contracts
were awarded during a bidding process.

In addition, MHCI operates "branded concept" restaurants such as
Morrison Fresh Cooking, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, on client
premises.  These branded concepts accounts are operated pursuant
to license arrangements with the appropriate restaurant company.
Currently, MHCI has 13 license arrangements with nationally
recognized restaurant companies.

MHCI markets its services nationwide through its business
development specialists and business development directors.  Each
business development specialist focuses on potential clients in a
specific territory pursuant to a marketing plan.  The business
development specialists report to and are supported by business
development directors.  The business development directors also
market MHCI's services to large national accounts such as
hospital systems.  In addition, MHCI personnel market to existing
clients to cross-sell additional services and increase sales of
existing services to complement the facility's food services
department.

Research and Development

The Company does not engage in any material research and
development activities.  Numerous studies are made, however, on a
continuing basis, to improve menus, equipment, and methods of
operations.

Raw Materials

Raw materials essential to the operation of the Company's
business are obtained principally through national food
distributors.  The Company negotiates directly with the primary
suppliers to obtain high quality products and services at
competitive prices.  The Company uses short-term purchase
commitment contracts to stabilize the potentially volatile
pricing associated with certain commodities.  Because of the
relatively short storage life of inventories, limited storage
facilities at customer location, MHCI's requirements for
freshness and the numerous sources of goods, a minimum amount of
inventory is maintained at customer locations.  If necessary, all
essential food, beverage and operational products are available
and can be obtained from alternative suppliers in all cities
where the Company operates.  The Company has entered into a
purchasing arrangement with Ruby Tuesday, Inc.("RTI") and
Morrison Fresh Cooking, Inc. ("MFCI") to maintain the volume
purchasing bargaining position enjoyed by the Company prior to
its spin-off.

Trademarks of the Company

The Company has registered certain trademarks and service marks
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office including the
Pro-Health Diningr trademark.  The Company believes that this and
other related marks are important to its business.  Registrations
of trademarks expire from 2000 to 2009, unless renewed.

Seasonality

The Company's revenues are not seasonal to any significant
degree.

Working Capital Practices

Cash provided by operations, along with borrowings under the
Company's revolving lines of credit, are used to pay dividends,
invest in new units and renovate existing units.

Additional information concerning the working capital of the
Company is incorporated herein by reference to information
presented within the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" of the Company's 1996 Annual Report to
Stockholders.

Customer Dependence

No material part of the business of the Company is dependent upon
a single customer, or a very few customers, the loss of any one
of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Government Contracts

There is no material portion of the Company's business that is
subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts
or sub-contracts at the election of the Government.

Competition

The health care food and nutrition services business is highly
competitive.  The Company competes with national and regional
food contract companies that offer the same type of services as
the Company.  Management believes that competition in health care
food and nutrition services is based on pricing, quality of
services and reputation.  Management believes that it compares
favorably with its competition in these areas.

Government Compliance

The Company is subject to various licensing and regulations at
both the state and local levels for items such as sanitation,
health and fire safety, all of which could affect the operation
of an existing account.  The Company's business is also subject
to various other regulations at the federal level such as fair
labor standards, occupational safety and health regulations.
Compliance with these regulations has not had, and is not
expected to have, a material adverse effect on the Company's
operations.

Environmental Compliance

Compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations
which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of
materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the
protection of the environment, is not expected to have a material
effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive
position of the Company.

Personnel

The Company employs approximately 3,100 full-time and part-time
employees.  The Company believes that working conditions are
favorable and employee compensation is comparable with its
competition.


Item 2.  Properties.

MHCI professionally manages food service departments on client-
owned property and, therefore, does not own any significant
amounts of property.  Vending services on client-owned facilities
complement this program.  Under the terms of certain contracts,
MHCI is required to make rent payments to its clients.  See Note
5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
the Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended June
1, 1996.

Facilities and equipment are repaired and maintained to assure
their adequacy, productive capacity and utilization.  The
corporate headquarters is located in approximately 14,000 square
feet of a leased building in Smyrna, Georgia.  The headquarters'
lease term ends in 2001 with annual average lease payments of
approximately $239,000.  The Company also has administrative
offices in a leased building in Mobile, Alabama.  This office has
a lease term ending in 2001 with average annual lease payments of
approximately $105,000.

Item 3.  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 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

None.

MORRISON HEALTH CARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the business
information and the Financial Statements and related notes found
on pages 24 to 39.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Effects of Distribution on Results of Operations

Effective March 9, 1996, Morrison Health Care, Inc. (MHCI) was
spun off (the Distribution) from Morrison Restaurants Inc. (MRI)
becoming an independent corporation trading under the symbol MHI
on the New York Stock Exchange.   Management believes that the
Distribution, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements, will have a material impact on the results of
operations due to the added separate company costs that will be
incurred by MHCI.  The estimated effect of the Distribution on
the results of operations of MHCI for the fiscal years ending
June 1, 1996 and June 3, 1995 are presented in the Unaudited Pro
Forma Financial Information on pages 30 and 31.  Such pro forma
financial information is presented as if the Distribution had
been effective as of the dates indicated.

1996 Compared To 1995

Because Management believes that the Distribution will have a
material impact on the results of operations due to the added
separate company costs that will be incurred, the following
discussion is based on Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

Overview

Fiscal 1996 was a transitional year for MHCI due to the Company's
spin-off from Morrison Restaurants Inc.  This new independence
allows the Company's Management to concentrate on its own
resources and core competencies, health care food and nutrition
services.  The Company is now able to specifically focus on its
own customers, employees and shareholders.  Fiscal 1996 was
important as Management took the opportunity to restructure its
sales force.  As a result, the Company's earnings were negatively
impacted; however, positive results are noticeable in the
increase of sales activity.

     MHCI is the only national, publicly held company which
specializes exclusively in health care food and nutrition
services.  MHCI's client base includes some of the largest and
most prestigious hospitals in the country.

     In the third quarter of fiscal year 1996, MHCI incurred
charges of $2.1 million consisting primarily of estimated
professional and other fees incurred in connection with the
Distribution ($1.4 million), relocation costs for personnel
moving in connection with the Distribution ($0.5 million) and
miscellaneous other asset write-offs ($0.2 million).

Revenue

While actual services performed are the same, revenue recognition
varies by type of contract based on the expenses and payroll paid
by MHCI.  In a management fee account, revenue, in addition to
the fee, is recognized only when the Company pays expenses or
employees are on the Company's payroll.  In a profit and loss
account where MHCI assumes the risk of profit or loss for the
foodservice operation, the amount of revenue reported is the
actual revenue generated from meals served to patients, client
employees and visitors.  Because of the difference between the
amount of revenue that is reported for the fee account, where
MHCI pays all or part of the cost, and the account where no cost
is paid, it is Management's opinion that Managed Volume is a
better measure of performance.  Managed Volume is defined as MHCI
revenue, as reported, plus client paid cost.  Managed Volume
increased 7% in fiscal year 1996 when compared to fiscal year
1995.  This increase is due to growth in existing units and
opening accounts with larger Managed Volume than those that were
closed.

     Revenue decreased $5.4 million or 2.4% in 1996 as compared
to 1995.  The decrease in revenue was due to the net decrease of
accounts during 1996.  In addition to loss of accounts, several
accounts converted from MHCI paying for food, payroll and other
costs to directly paying for these costs themselves.

     To address lower sales of new accounts, the sales team was
expanded and new sales positions were created. The new sales
organization allows expanded focus on prospecting while
continuing to grow existing relationships with current accounts.

Gross Profit

Gross profit, revenue less operating expenses, increased $1.4
million or 3.7% for 1996. The increase in gross profit is
attributed to continuing emphasis on food and labor cost
reductions.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a
percentage of revenue due to the addition of a regional team, the
expansion of the sales force and the relocation of corporate
headquarters.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense increased due to increased debt. The increased
debt resulted from the allocation of MRI's debt in connection
with the Distribution.

Federal and State Income Taxes

The combined federal and state effective tax rate decreased to
42.1% in 1996, from 43.6% in 1995.  The higher effective rate in
fiscal year 1995 was due to the nondeductibility of acquired
goodwill disposed of in connection with the divestiture of the
B&I accounts.

1995 Compared To 1994

Overview

On August 8, 1994, MHCI sold certain B&I contracts and assets to
Gardner Merchant Food Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of Gardner Merchant Ltd., for $100 million in cash.  B&I accounts
not sold were subsequently closed.  The sale, net of related
transaction expenses and closing costs of approximately $11.1
million, resulted in a net pretax gain of $46.8 million.  This
sale had a material impact on the amount of reported income from
continuing operations for fiscal 1995.

Revenue

Due to the sale of the B&I contracts and assets, revenue
decreased 51.2% from 1994.  Excluding 1994 B&I revenue of $250.7
million, the revenue increase was 6.8%.  This increase reflects
the addition of larger accounts to MHCI's customer base and a net
addition of accounts as compared to 1994.

Operating Profits

Operating profits excluding the $46.8 million gain on the sale of
B&I decreased 14.2% for 1995.  Excluding 1994 B&I operating
profit of $6.3 million, operating profit increased 21.1% due to
increased revenue and a 1.4% operating margin increase.  Because
of the sale of B&I, the client mix changed in 1995 resulting in a
larger number of clients that pay for food, payroll and other
costs directly rather than indirectly through MHCI. During the
year, MHCI implemented food cost control programs aimed at
increased food preparation efficiency and waste reduction,
coupled with higher value-added menu offerings.  Payroll costs
also decreased due to improved experience for health and workers'
compensation claims and a change in vacation policy. Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased to 8.4% of revenues
from 6.4% in fiscal 1994 due to increased spending.  The changes
discussed above resulted in the improved margin.

     MHCI's pre-distribution interest income results from an
allocation of MRI's interest income based on MHCI's cash flow.
The combined federal and state effective tax rate increased to
43.6% in 1995 from 38.7% in 1994 due to the nondeductibility for
tax of acquired goodwill disposed of in connection with the
divestiture of the B&I accounts.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow, Capital Expenditures and Financing

As part of the Distribution MRI allocated $27.0 million of its
March 2, 1996 debt balance to MHCI.  MHCI refinanced $20 million
of the debt on a long-term basis with a term note and obtained
lines of credit to provide cash for working capital needs and
funds to support the Company's growth. During fiscal year 1996,
interest costs increased due to allocated debt in connection with
the spin-off and lines of credit secured as an independent
entity.

     Due to the nature of its contract foodservice business, MHCI
is able to maintain a relatively steady cash flow. Cash flow from
operations has historically financed MHCI's capital investments.
MHCI plans for controlled expansion over the next several years,
and anticipates that cash flow from operations plus utilization
of the existing lines of credit will be sufficient to provide for
this expansion.

     To finance its activities, MHCI has obtained a $50 million,
five-year credit facility from various financial institutions.
Of the total facility, $30 million is revolving lines of credit.
The Company has $2.5 million of borrowings outstanding under the
terms of these lines of credit at June 1, 1996, classified as
short-term borrowings.  The remaining $20 million of the credit
facility is a five-year term note which will be repaid in
quarterly installments of $1.25 million beginning June 30, 1997.
The credit facility provides for certain restrictions on
incurring additional indebtedness and contains certain funded
debt, net worth and fixed charge coverage requirements.  At June
1, 1996, retained earnings in the amount of $86,000 were
available for cash dividends and stock repurchases under the debt
restrictions.
     
     In the event that the Company requires funds for day-to-day
operating activities, it has obtained additional lines of credit
which will allow borrowing up to $5 million.  The Company had
$4.3 million of borrowings outstanding under this agreement at
June 1, 1996, classified by the Company as short-term debt.
     
     The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to
control its interest costs.  This swap agreement effectively
limits the interest rate to a maximum of 6.7% per annum for the
period of the term note.
     
     Trade accounts receivable make up the majority of MHCI's
total current assets.  Historically, the average days outstanding
in trade accounts receivable is less than one month and bad debt
expense has been minimal.

     MHCI requires capital principally for new accounts,
equipment replacement and remodeling of existing accounts.  Cash
provided by operating activities approximated $12.4 million for
fiscal year 1996.  Capital expenditures and client investments
were approximately $2.2 million and $760,000, respectively, for
the same period.  Capital expenditures and client investments are
anticipated to total  $5.0 million in fiscal 1997.  MHCI plans to
finance this amount primarily through internally generated funds.
See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information."


Working Capital

Working capital and the current ratio as of June 1, 1996 were
$10.1 million and 1.4:1, respectively.

Dividends

MHCI paid approximately $2.4 million in cash dividends to
stockholders in the fourth quarter of 1996.  The Company plans to
pay annual  dividends of approximately $9.6 million in the next
fiscal year.  See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Information."

Deferred Tax Assets

The recognition of deferred tax assets depends on the anticipated
existence of taxable income in future periods in amounts
sufficient to realize the assets.  A valuation allowance must be
provided for the deferred tax asset if such future income is not
likely to be generated.  Management believes that future taxable
income should be sufficient to realize all of MHCI's deferred tax
assets based on historical earnings of MHCI; therefore, a
valuation allowance has not been established.

Income Taxes

MHCI had a short tax year due to its spin-off from MRI.  Income
taxes are typically paid ratably during the year through
estimated income tax payments.  However, as no estimated tax
payments were required to be made during the short tax year, the
Company will have a cash outlay during the first quarter of
fiscal year 1997 for 1996 income taxes. Cash outlay for income
taxes in fiscal year 1997 is expected to exceed 1997 income tax
expense.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
     
Consistent with the purpose of enhancing the equity-based
incentive compensation of its employees, the Company intends to
cause its Salary Deferral Plan to hold at least 3% of its
outstanding shares of common stock.  The Plan expects to acquire
shares from MHCI directly, in exchange for a promissory note to
be repaid over a period of  up to ten years.  See "Special Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Information."


KNOWN EVENTS, UNCERTAINTIES AND TRENDS

New Accounting Standards

In March, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed Of" (FAS 121).  FAS 121 establishes accounting
standards that require an entity to review long-lived assets and
certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable.  Long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of are generally to be
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost
to sell.   The Company adopted FAS 121 in 1996.  Such adoption
did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

Impact of Inflation

In the past, MHCI has been able to recover inflationary cost
increases through increased productivity, menu changes and
contract inflation adjustments.  There have been and there may be
in the future, delays in contract inflation adjustments and
competitive pressures which limit MHCI's ability to recover such
cost increases in their entirety.  At present, Congress is
pursuing a minimum wage price increase which may negatively
impact the Company's payroll costs in the short-term, but which
management feels they can negate in the long-term through
increased efficiencies in its operations and possibly job credit
programs also being pursued by Congress.  Historically, the
effects of inflation on MHCI's net income have not been
materially adverse.

Management's Outlook

Management intends to enhance growth through the expansion and
restructuring of the sales teams, maintenance of outstanding
performance and exploration of acquisition opportunities.
     
     Several MHCI accounts are among the largest acute care and
teaching hospitals in the United States.  The Company strives to
maintain its long-term partnerships with these facilities while
continuing to increase quality and lower costs.  During the
upcoming year, MHCI believes that additional investments in
people and programs designed to enhance its aggressive sales
drive will add new clients while building stronger relationships
with current accounts.  See "Special Note Regarding Forward-
Looking Information."

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1:  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
On March 9, 1996, Morrison Health Care, Inc. (the "Company" or
"MHCI") was spun off from Morrison Restaurants Inc. ("MRI").
Prior to the spin-off, MHCI was a wholly owned health care
contract food and nutrition business of MRI.  Prior to August 8,
1994, the Company's operations included education, business and
industry ("B&I") contracts and assets.  The B&I contracts and
assets were sold on that date to Gardner Merchant Food Services,
Inc.  See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for more information.  The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared as if MRI's health care contract food and nutrition
and B&I businesses had operated as a  stand-alone entity for all
periods presented.  Such statements include the assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses that are directly related to
the Company's operations.  They also include an allocation of
certain assets, liabilities and general corporate expenses of
MRI, such as executive payroll, legal, data processing and
interest, which are related to the Company.  Amounts were
allocated on a specific identification method where appropriate
and on a pro rata basis otherwise.  Management believes the
allocation methods used are reasonable.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires Management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Morrison Health Care, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

Fiscal Year
The Company's fiscal year ends on the first Saturday after May
30.  The fiscal years ended June 1, 1996, June 3, 1995 and June
4, 1994 were comprised of 52 weeks.

Cash and Short-Term Investments
The Company's cash management program provides for the investment
of excess cash balances in short-term money market instruments.
Short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates
market.  The Company considers marketable securities with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be short-term
investments.

Inventories
Inventories consist of materials, food supplies, china and silver
and are stated at the lower of cost (first in-first out) or
market.

Property and Equipment and Depreciation
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets.  Annual rates of depreciation range from 3% to 5% for
buildings and from 8% to 34% for kitchen and other equipment.

     During March, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-
Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (FAS 121).  FAS 121 requires
that, beginning in fiscal years starting after December 15, 1995,
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held
and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable.  Long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of are generally to be
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost
to sell.  The Company adopted FAS 121 in 1996.  Such adoption did
not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

Intangible Assets
Excess of costs over the fair value of net assets acquired of
purchased businesses generally is amortized on a straight-line
basis over 40 years.  At June 1, 1996 and June 3, 1995, the
accumulated amortization for costs in excess of net assets
acquired was $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

     The carrying value of goodwill and other intangibles is
evaluated periodically in relation to the operating performance
and future undiscounted cash flows of each operating business
acquired. Adjustments are made if the sum of expected future net
cash flows is less than net book value.  The Company believes
that the remaining amounts of these assets have continuing value.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon performance of services.  The Company
operates under two major types of contracts, management fee and
profit and loss.  While actual services performed are the same,
revenue recognition varies by type of contract based on the
expenses and payroll paid by the Company.  In a management fee
account, revenue, in addition to the fee, is recognized only when
the Company pays expenses or employees are on the Company's
payroll.  In a profit and loss account where MHCI assumes the
risk of profit or loss for the foodservice operation, the amount
of revenue reported is the actual revenue generated from meals
served to patients, client employees and visitors.

Income Taxes
For periods prior to the spin-off, the accompanying statements of
income reflect an income tax expense representing the Company's
allocated share of MRI's tax expense and the Company's actual tax
expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1996.  The
allocated income tax expense approximates the tax expense of the
Company on a stand-alone basis.
     
     Deferred income taxes are determined utilizing a liability
approach.  This method gives consideration to the future tax
consequences associated with differences between financial
accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding.  Weighted average shares for 1996 are determined as
if the shares issued in connection with the Distribution were
outstanding from the beginning of the year. Earnings per share
are not presented for 1995 and 1994 because the Company was not
publicly held prior to the Distribution date.

Pre-Opening Expenses
Pre-opening costs, such as salaries, personnel training costs and
other expenses of opening a new account are often reimbursed by
the client.  In circumstances when they are not reimbursed, these
costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments at June 1, 1996 and June 3,
1995, consisted of cash and short-term investments, accounts and
notes receivable and long-term debt.  The fair value of these
financial instruments approximated the carrying amounts reported
in the balance sheets.

     Although substantially all of the Company's trade accounts
receivable are from health care institutions, Management believes
that concentrations of credit risk are limited due to the
geographic diversity of the Company's customer base.  The Company
performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial
condition and generally does not require collateral.
Historically, the Company has not experienced  significant losses
related to trade accounts receivable from individual customers or
from groups of customers in any geographic area.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans
During October, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (FAS 123).  FAS 123
establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for
stock-based employee compensation plans.  FAS 123 defines a fair
value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or
similar equity instrument.  FAS 123 allows an entity to continue
to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic
value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."  The Company
intends to continue to measure compensation cost following the
principles of APB Opinion No. 25 and will therefore be required
to present pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per
share as if the fair value based method had been applied
beginning in fiscal 1997.

Note 2:  Distribution

On March 7, 1996, the shareholders of MRI approved the
Distribution by MRI of all the outstanding shares of common stock
of Morrison Health Care, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MRI.
The Board of Directors of MRI believed that the Distribution was
in the best interests of MRI and its stockholders because the
separation of MRI's three lines of business will, among other
things: (i) allow management of each of the three companies to
concentrate its full attention on its business and allow each
company to reward management and employees based on the
performance of its business; (ii) allow each company to access
the capital markets directly to raise capital; (iii) establish a
value for each company that is independent of the other
businesses and provide investors and securities analysts a
clearer basis on which to understand and analyze the three
businesses; and (iv) allow MHCI to establish equity-based benefit
plans which can hold MHCI common stock.

     The following Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of
Income have been prepared to illustrate certain estimated effects
of the Distribution.  These statements include adjustments for
the effect of costs and expenses which might have occurred had
the Distribution occurred June 5, 1994.  Adjustments are based on
the assumptions set forth below the statement.

          (a)   To   record   the  increase  in  operating  expenses,   selling,
                general  and  administrative expenses which  presumably  would  have
                been  incurred  by  MHCI  had MHCI been a separate  and  stand-alone
                entity.
          
          (b)  To  record  the  increase in interest expense  which  would  have
               been  incurred  by  MHCI  had MHCI been a separate  and  stand-alone
               entity.
          
          (c)  To  record  the  estimated  income tax  benefit  associated  with
               pro  forma  adjustments  (a) and (b) at an  assumed  combined  state
               and  federal  effective income tax rate of 41.8% and 43.6%  for  the
               years  ended  June  1,  1996 and June 3,  1995,  respectively.   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.
          
          (d)  The  number of equivalent shares for periods prior to  the  spin-
               off  is  based  on the number of MRI's common and common  equivalent
               shares adjusted for the 1 for 3 distribution ratio.

Note 3:  Sale of the Education, Business and Industry Contracts
and Assets

On August 8, 1994, the Company sold certain education, business
and industry (B&I) contracts and assets to Gardner Merchant
Services, Inc., for a cash payment of $100 million.  The
remaining B&I accounts were closed.  The sale of the B&I accounts
and the discontinuance of the remaining accounts resulted in a
pretax gain of $46.8 million, or $25.8 million after applicable
taxes.

     Sales from B&I contracts in fiscal year 1994 were $250.7
million, with operating profits of $6.3 million (after allocation
of Morrison Restaurants Inc. corporate overhead of $1.0 million).

Note 4:  Notes Payable

*Allocated from Morrison Restaurants Inc.

Aggregate maturities of long-term borrowings over the next five
years are as follows: 1997 - $11; 1998 - $5,011; 1999 - $5,011;
2000 - $5,012; and 2001 - $5,000.

     In March, 1996, the Company entered into a five-year $50
million credit facility with various banks.  The credit facility
includes a $30 million revolving line of credit which allows the
Company to borrow under various interest rate options. Commitment
fees of 0.25% per annum are payable on the unused portion of the
credit facility.  At June 1, 1996, the Company had $2.5 million
of borrowing under the revolver outstanding at an interest rate
of 6.4% per annum. The balance of the $50 million credit
facility, $20 million, is a term note which will be repaid in
quarterly installments of $1.25 million commencing June 30, 1997.
In order to control the interest cost on the term note, the
Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement.  This swap
agreement effectively limits the interest rate to a maximum of
6.7% per annum for the period of the term note.

     In addition, the Company had lines of credit amounting to $5
million.  At June 1, 1996, the Company had $4.3 million of
borrowings outstanding under the terms of these lines at interest
rates ranging from 6.4% to 6.25% per annum.

     For fiscal year 1995, the Company's debt allocation was
determined by applying the pro rata percentage intended to be
allocated and to be assumed by the Company at the date of
Distribution to the outstanding Morrison Restaurants Inc.
corporate debt at each balance sheet date.

     The credit facility provides for certain restrictions on
incurring additional indebtedness and to certain funded debt, net
worth and fixed charge coverage requirements.  At June 1, 1996,
retained earnings in the amount of $86,000  were available for
distribution under the debt restrictions.

Note 5:  Rents

Under the terms of certain of its contracts, the Company is
required to make rent payments to its health care institution
customers.  These contracts may provide for additional contingent
rents based upon sales volume and contain options to renew.
Generally, the underlying contracts can be canceled upon 60-90
days notice.

     Rental expense pursuant to contracts is summarized as
follows:

FAS 109 specifies that deferred tax assets are to be reduced by a
valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some
portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Management believes that future taxable income should be
sufficient to realize all of the Company's deferred tax assets
based on historical earnings of the Company, and therefore, a
valuation allowance has not been established.

     A reconciliation from the statutory federal income tax
expense to the reported income tax expense is shown below:

The effective income tax rate was 42.0%, 43.6% and 38.7% in 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively.  The effective income tax rate
increase in fiscal year 1995 was due to the nondeductibility of
acquired goodwill disposed of in connection with the divestiture
of the B&I accounts.

     In connection with the Distribution, the Company entered
into a tax allocation agreement with Morrison Fresh Cooking, Inc.
("MFC") and RTI.  This agreement provided that the Company will
pay its share of RTI's consolidated tax liability for the period
in which the Company was included in MRI's consolidated federal
income tax return.  It also provides for sharing, where
appropriate, of state, local and foreign taxes attributable to
periods prior to the date of Distribution.


Note 7:  Employee Benefit Plans

Prior to the spin-off, the Company entered into an agreement with
RTI and MFC providing for the allocation of employee benefit
rights and responsibilities among the three companies.

     The following benefit plans were established by the Company
as of the spin-off date.  These plans were generally designed as
a mirror image of the MRI plans.

Salary Deferral Plan

Under the Morrison Health Care, Inc. Salary Deferral Plan, each
eligible employee may elect to make pretax contributions to a
trust fund in amounts ranging from 2% to 10% of their annual
earnings.  Employees contributing a pretax contribution of at
least 2% may elect to make after-tax contributions not in excess
of 10% of annual earnings.  The Company contribution to the Plan
is based on the employee's pretax contribution and years of
service.  After three years of service (including service with
MRI) the Company contributes 20% of the employee's pretax
contribution, 30% after ten years of service, and 40% after 20
years of service.  Normally, the full amount of each
participant's interest in the trust fund will be paid upon
retirement or total disability.  However, the Plan allows
participants to make early withdrawals of pretax and after-tax
contributions, subject to certain restrictions. The Company's
contribution to the trust fund approximated $244,000, $349,000
and $342,000, for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company maintains the Morrison Health Care, Inc. Deferred
Compensation Plan for certain selected employees.  The provisions
of this Plan are similar to those of the Salary Deferral Plan.
Differences include employees who are eligible to participate and
different limitation amounts on deferral elections that may be
made by participants. The Company's contributions under the Plan
approximated $137,000, $196,000 and $223,000, for 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.  Assets of the Plan are held by a rabbi
trust.  Under current accounting rules, assets of a rabbi trust
must be accounted for as if they are assets of the Company;
therefore, all earnings and expenses will be recorded in the
Company's financial statements.  The net of the MHCI rabbi
trust's earnings and losses is recorded as additional liability
to the participants and is considered to be interest expense to
the Company.  The Company recorded interest expense of $12,000
for this Plan in 1996.  Assets of the Plan approximated
$4,327,000 at June 1, 1996 and include $929,000 of MHCI common
stock which is accounted for as treasury stock at cost.

Retirement Plan

The Retirement Plan was frozen by RTI (formerly Morrison
Restaurants Inc.) on December 31, 1987 and will remain part of
RTI.  No additional benefits accrued and no new participants
entered the Plan after that date.  The Company will continue to
share in future expenses of the Plan.  Participants will receive
benefits based upon salary and length of service.  The Plan's
assets include common stock, fixed income securities, short-term
investments and cash.  There were no contributions made to the
Plan in 1996, 1995 or 1994.

Executive Supplemental Pension Plan

Under the Morrison Health Care, Inc. Executive Supplemental
Pension Plan, employees with average compensation of at least
$120,000 and who have completed five years (including service
with MRI) in a qualifying position become eligible to earn
supplemental retirement payments based upon salary and length of
service (including service as part of MRI), reduced by social
security benefits and amounts otherwise receivable under the
Retirement Plan.

Management Retirement Plan

Under the Morrison Health Care, Inc. Management Retirement Plan,
individuals who have 15 years of credited service (including
service with MRI) and whose average annual compensation for the
immediately preceding three calendar years equaled or exceeded
$40,000, will become participants.  Participants will receive
benefits based upon salary and length of service (including
service with MRI), reduced by social security benefits and
benefits payable under the Retirement Plan and Executive
Supplemental Pension Plan.

     To provide a funding source for the payment of benefits
under the Executive Supplemental Pension Plan and the Management
Retirement Plan, the Company owns whole-life insurance contracts
on some of the participants.  The cash value of these policies,
net of loans, was $873,000 at June 1, 1996. The policies have
been placed in a rabbi trust which will hold the policies and
death benefits as they are received.

     The following table presents the components of pension
expense, the funded status and amounts recognized in the
Company's financial statements for the Retirement Plan, the
Executive Supplemental Pension Plan and the Management Retirement
Plan.

The weighted-average discount rate for all three plans was 7.75%,
8.5% and 7.5% for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The rate of
increase in compensation levels for the Executive Supplemental
Pension Plan and Management Retirement Plan was 4% for 1996 and
1995, and 5% for 1994.  The expected long-term rate of return on
plan assets for the Retirement Plan was 10% for all three years.

Note 8:  Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

The Company provides health care benefits to substantially all
retired employees and life insurance benefits to certain
retirees.  Benefits are funded as medical claims and life
insurance premiums are incurred.  Retirees become eligible for
retirement benefits if they have met certain service and minimum
age requirements at date of retirement.  The Company accrues
expenses related to postretirement health care and life insurance
benefits during the years an employee provides services.  The
total postretirement benefit costs for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were
$191,000, $143,000 and $140,000, respectively.
     
The actuarial present value of accumulated postretirement benefit
obligations and the amounts recognized in the Company's balance
sheet are as follows:

Accrued postretirement benefit cost               $1,495              $1,037

The postretirement benefit cost is as follows:

                                             Fiscal Year Ended
(In thousands)                 June 1, 1996     June 3, 1995     June 4, 1994

Amortization of unrecognized net loss    28               32               33
Postretirement benefit cost            $191             $143             $140

The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 0% because the
Company has frozen current and future contribution levels.
Increases in health care cost due to factors such as inflation,
changes in health care utilization or delivery patterns,
technological advances and changes in the health status of plan
participants will be borne by the participants.  Measurement of
the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was based on an
assumed 7.75%, 8.5% and 7.5% discount rate for fiscal 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively.

Note 9:  Preferred Stock

Under its Certificate of Incorporation, the Company is authorized
to issue preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 in an amount
not to exceed 250,000 shares which may be divided into and issued
in designated series, with dividend rates, rights of conversion,
redemption, liquidation prices and other terms or conditions as
determined by the Board of Directors.  No preferred shares have
been issued as of June 1, 1996.  The Board of Directors has
designated 50,000 of such shares as Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock and has issued rights to acquire such shares,
upon certain events, with an exercise price to be determined, but
substantially above the expected trading price.  The rights will
expire ten years after the date such rights are issued, and may
be redeemed prior to ten days after the acquisition of 20% or
more of the Company's common stock.


Note 10:  Capital Stock, Options and Bonus Plans

The Morrison Health Care, Inc. 1996 Stock Incentive Plan

In March, 1996, the shareholders of MRI approved the Morrison
Health Care, Inc. 1996 Stock Incentive Plan.  A Committee,
appointed by the Board, administers the Plan on behalf of the
Company and has complete discretion to determine participants and
the terms and provisions of Stock Incentives, subject to the
Plan.  The Plan permits the Committee to make awards of shares of
common stock, awards of derivative securities related to the
value of the common stock, and certain cash awards to eligible
persons. These discretionary awards may be made on an individual
basis or pursuant to a program approved by the Committee for the
benefit of a group of eligible persons.  The Plan permits the
Committee to make awards of a variety of stock incentives,
including (but not limited to) dividend equivalent rights,
incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, performance
unit awards, phantom shares, stock appreciation rights and stock
awards.  All options awarded under the Plan have been at the
prevailing market value at the time of issue or grant.  During
1996, 35,783 shares were issued under the Plan.  At June 1, 1996,
the Company had reserved a total of 714,217 shares of common
stock for this Plan.  At the June, 1996 meeting of the Board of
Directors, an additional 100,000 shares of common stock were
reserved for this Plan.  Of the total 814,217 reserved, 350,000
of that total have been reserved subject to stockholder approval.

The Morrison Health Care, Inc. Stock Incentive and Deferred
Compensation Plan for Directors

In March, 1996, the shareholders of MRI approved the Morrison
Health Care, Inc. Stock Incentive and Deferred Compensation Plan
for Directors.  The Plan provides nonmanagement directors with
opportunities to defer the receipt of their retainer fees or to
allocate their retainer fees to purchase shares of the Company.
In general, the Plan sets a target ownership level for
nonmanagement directors.  To facilitate attaining the target
ownership level, the Plan provides that the directors must use
60% of their retainer to purchase shares of the Company.  Each
director purchasing stock receives additional shares equal to 15%
of the shares purchased and three times the total shares in
options, which after six months are exercisable for five years
from the grant date.  All options awarded under the Plan have
been at the prevailing market value at the time of issue or
grant.  During 1996, 967 shares were issued under the Plan.
Pursuant to this Plan, a one-time restricted stock award totaling
5,000 shares was made in fiscal 1996 to a nonmanagement director.
A Committee, appointed by the Board, administers the Plan on
behalf of the Company. At June 1, 1996, the Company has reserved
94,033 shares of common stock for this Plan.

The Morrison Health Care, Inc. 1996 Non-Executive Stock Incentive
Plan

In March, 1996, the Board of Directors approved the Morrison
Health Care, Inc. 1996 Non-Executive Stock Incentive Plan.  A
Committee, appointed by the Board, administers the Plan on behalf
of the Company and has full authority in its discretion to
determine the officers and key employees to whom stock incentives
are granted and the terms and provisions of stock incentives,
subject to the Plan.  The Plan permits the Committee to make
awards of shares of common stock, awards of derivative securities
related to the value of the common stock and certain cash awards
to eligible persons. These discretionary awards may be made on an
individual basis or pursuant to a program approved by the
Committee for the benefit of a group of eligible persons. All
options awarded under the Plan have been at the prevailing market
value at the time of issue or grant.  During 1996, 69,281 shares
were issued under the Plan.  At June 1, 1996, the Company had
reserved a total of 2,180,719 shares of common stock for this
Plan.

     Under the terms of the Distribution, current holders of MRI
stock options received adjusted, substitute options in MHCI, MFC
and RTI which, in the aggregate, preserved the economic value as
well as the material terms, such as option period, vesting
provisions and payment terms, the optionee had in the original
MRI options prior to the Distribution.

     The following table summarizes the activity in options under
these stock option plans:

Note 11:  Contingencies

At June 1, 1996, the Company was contingently liable for
approximately $6.8 million in letters of credit, issued primarily
in connection with its workers' compensation and casualty
insurance programs.

     The Company is presently, and from time to time, subject to
pending claims and lawsuits 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 financial position.

     Prior to the Distribution, the Company enter into an
agreement with MFC and RTI providing for assumptions of
liabilities and cross-indemnities designed to allocate generally,
among the three companies, effective as of the Distribution date,
financial responsibility for liabilities arising out of or in
connection with business activities prior to the Distribution.
