NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
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.

Certain prior reported amounts have been reclassified to be
consistent with current reporting practices.

NOTE B - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
On January 9, 1997 the Company declared a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.205 per share of outstanding common stock
payable on January 31, 1997 to shareholders of record at the
close of business on January 17, 1997.


NOTE C - PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
The prior year historical condensed consolidated financial
statements for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended December
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 4, 1995 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 and twenty-six
weeks ending December 2, 1995 are described below:

(a)    To record the decrease in operating expenses and the
  increase in 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 42.1% for the twenty-six
  week period ending December 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.

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.
("MRI") in March 1996.  The discussion below relates to the
results of operations of the Company for the thirteen and
twenty-six week periods ending November 30, 1996.  The pro
forma financial information for fiscal 1996 presents the
Company's results as if the spin-off from MRI had occurred on
June 4, 1995, 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 MRI 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 and $5.4 million for the thirteen and twenty-six week
periods ending November 30, 1996, compared with pro forma net
income of $2.5 and $5.4 million reported for the corresponding
periods of the prior fiscal year.  The increase in net income
for the quarter from the prior year primarily relates to lower
operating costs.


Revenue
Revenue from operations decreased  $2.2 million or 4.0% from
$56.6 million for the quarter ended November 30, 1996 and
decreased  $5.9 million or 5.2% from $112.9 million for the
twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 1996.  The decrease was the
result of revenue lost from closed units and contract shifts
from a profit or loss account type to a management fee account
type.

Managed volume (which is the amount of estimated total
operating costs managed) from operations increased $7.3 million
or 6.9% from $106.6 million for the quarter and increased $11.5
or 5.3% for the twenty-six week period ended November 30,1996
from the prior year due to growth in continuing accounts.


Operating Costs
Operating costs decreased $1.7 million or 3.8% to $44.1 million
for the quarter and decreased $4.7 million or 5.1% for the
twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 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
decreased $0.7 million or 11.3% for the quarter and decreased
$0.8 million or 6.9% for the twenty-six week period ending
November 30, 1996 as compared to the same periods of the prior
year.


Interest Expense (net of Interest Income)
Net interest expense decreased from $0.4 million to $0.3
million for the quarter and decreased to $0.4 million for the
twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 1996 from $0.8 million for
the same period of the prior year due to a decrease in the
Company's debt.



Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates on continuing operations for the
thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended November 30, 1996 were
41.4% and 41.5%, respectively,  as compared to 43.1% and 42.1%,
respectively, for the same periods of the prior year.  The
lower effective income tax rates for the current year are
primarily attributable to the utilization of Work Opportunity
Tax credits.


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 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 MRI common stock and common
stock equivalents for such period adjusted for the one for
three distribution ratio.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total assets at November 30, 1996 were $59.7 million, a $2.8
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.
Total liabilities at November 30, 1996 were $54.4 million, a
$3.5 million decrease from $57.8 million as of the end of the
prior fiscal year. This decrease was primarily due to a $3.8
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; the growth of systems
and group purchasing organizations; changes in health care
regulations; increased competition in the health care food and
nutrition market; customer acceptance of the Company's cost
savings programs; and changes in laws and regulations affecting
labor and employee benefit costs.
