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 May 31, 1997.

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

NOTE B - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
On January 7, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.205 per share of outstanding
common stock payable on January 31, 1998 to shareholders of
record at the close of business on January 20, 1998.


NOTE C - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which is
required to be adopted for financial statements issued after
December 15, 1997.  At that time, the Company will be required
to change the method currently used to compute earnings per
share and to restate all prior periods.  Under the new
requirements for calculating basic earnings per share, the
dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.  The change
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's 
earnings per share.


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 quarter and six
months ended November 30, 1997 compared with the results for
the comparable periods of the prior year.


Results of Operations
The Company reported net income from continuing operations of
$3.0 million for the quarter and $5.9 million for the six
months ended November 30, 1997, compared with net income of
$2.7 and $5.4 million reported for the corresponding periods of
the prior fiscal year.  Earnings before interest and taxes
increased $0.3 million to $5.3 million for the quarter and
increased $0.5 million to $10.2 million for the six months
ended November 30, 1997.


Revenue
Revenue from operations increased $6.3 million or 11.6% to
$60.6 million for the quarter and increased $11.4 million or
10.6% to $118.4 million for the six months ended November 30,
1997. The increase was primarily attributable to the conversion
of client paid payroll to MHCI paid payroll in continuing
accounts.


Managed volume (which is the amount of estimated total
operating costs managed) from operations increased $7.1 million
or 6.2% to $121.0 million for the quarter and increased $11.0
or 4.8% for the six months ended November 30,1997 from the
prior year period due to the expansion of the vending and
branded concepts programs in continuing accounts.


Operating Costs
Operating costs increased $5.9 million or 13.4% to $50.0
million for the quarter and increased $10.6 million or 12.2%
for the six months ended November 30, 1997.  These costs have
increased as a percentage of revenue from the comparable
periods in the prior year primarily as a result of the
conversion of client paid payroll to MHCI paid payroll in 
continuing accounts.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter
increased $0.08 million or 1.4% for the quarter and increased
$0.3 million or 2.8% for the six months ended November 30, 1997
as compared to the same periods of the prior year.


Interest Expense (net of Interest Income)
Net interest expense decreased from $0.3 million to $0.2
million for the quarter and increased to $0.5 million for the
six months ended November 30, 1997 from $0.4 million for the
same period of the prior year.





Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate on continuing operations for the
three months and six months ended November 30, 1997 was 39.5%,
as compared to 41.4% and 41.5%, respectively, for the same
periods of the prior year.  The Company has lowered its
estimated effective income tax rate for the current year based
upon anticipated tax credits and a review of the first full
year of tax filings.


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.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total assets at November 30, 1997 were $68.2 million, a $8.0
million increase from $60.2 million as of the prior fiscal year
end.  This increase is attributable to the following: 1) an
increase of $4.5 million in accounts receivable due to the
Thanksgiving holiday being before the end of the quarter; 2) an
increase of $0.8 million in client investments; and 3) a $0.9
million increase in the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan
assets.

Total liabilities at November 30, 1997 were $59.6 million, a
$5.0 million increase from $54.6 million as of the end of the
prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily due to a $3.8
million increase in debt and a $1.1 million increase in
deferred other liabilities related to the Company's Deferred
Compensation Plan.

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.
