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, 1998.

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


NOTE B - LONG-TERM DEBT
Refinancing of Credit Facility
In June 1998, the Company  replaced its $50 million  credit  facility with a $75
million revolving credit line from four financial  institutions.  The new credit
line has a variable interest rate based upon LIBOR and variable interest payment
requirements.  The  principal  is due no later than June 30,  2003.  The initial
amount  borrowed was $35.4  million,  all of which was used to repay the balance
due on the $50 million and $5 million credit facilities.


NOTE C - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
On September  29, 1998,  the Company's  Board of Directors  declared a quarterly
cash dividend of $0.04 per share of outstanding  common stock payable on October
30, 1998 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 12, 1998.

Industrial Revenue Bonds
On September 1, 1998,  the Company  entered into a loan  agreement with Maryland

Industrial  Development Revenue Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $2.75
million. The bonds bear interest at a variable rate in accordance with the terms
of an Indenture  of Trust and are due January 1, 2013.  The debt is secured by a

In October 1998, the Company  acquired for  approximately  $6 million all of the
outstanding common stock of  Philadelphia-based  Culinary Service Network,  Inc.
("CSN"),  in a cash transaction.  The price purchase may increase  contingent on
the future  earnings of CSN. The  acquisition  will be  accounted  for using the
purchase  method.  The resulting  goodwill  will be amortized  over twenty years
using the  straight-line  method.  The results of CSN will be included  from the
acquisition date.

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


The  discussion  below relates to the results of  operations of Morrison  Health
Care, Inc.  ("MHCI" or the "Company") for the three months ended August 31, 1998
compared with the results for the comparable period of the prior year.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The  Company's net income from  continuing  operations  increased  11.5% to $3.2
million for the three months ended August 31, 1998,  compared with net income of
$2.8 reported for the  corresponding  period of the prior fiscal year.  Earnings
before  interest and taxes  increased  15.9% or $0.8 million to $5.7 million for
the three  months  ended  August 31,  1998.  The  increase  was due to growth in
continuing and new account income.


MANAGED VOLUME AND REVENUE
Due to the difference between the amount of revenue that is reported for the fee
account (net  management fee plus  reimbursed  expenses) and the profit and loss
account (gross  revenues of meal sales),  Management uses the concept of managed
volume to evaluate the Company's true growth.  Managed volume is defined by MHCI
as the total cost of operating the foodservices.  Managed volume from operations
increased  $24.5  million or 20.8% to $141.9  million for the three months ended
August 31, 1998 over the prior year period due to new and acquired accounts.

Revenue from  operations  increased  $14.5 million or 25.1% to $72.2 million for
the three months ended August 31, 1998 over the prior year period.  The increase
was primarily attributable to the conversion of client-paid payroll to MHCI-paid
payroll  in  continuing  accounts,  new  accounts  and  accounts  acquired  from
acquisitions.


OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating  expenses  increased  $12.9  million or 27.1% to $60.6 million for the
three months ended August 31, 1998. These expenses have increased over the prior
year period  primarily as a result of the addition of new and acquired  accounts
and the  conversion  of client-paid payroll to MHCI-paid  payroll in  continuing
accounts.  These expenses  expressed as a percentage of managed volume increased
slightly compared to the prior year period.


Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million or 15.9% for
the three  months  ended  August 31,  1998 as compared to the same period of the
prior year.  Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  as  percentage  of
managed volume decreased  slightly when compared to the corresponding  period of
the prior year.


INTEREST EXPENSE, Net of Interest Income
Net interest  expense  increased from $0.2 million to $0.4 million for the three
months  ended  August 31, 1998 as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Interest  on funds used to finance  construction  of  significant  additions  to
property and equipment is capitalized.  The capitalized  interest is recorded as
part of the  asset  to which  it  relates  and is  amortized  over  the  asset's
estimated useful life. The Company capitalized interest totaling $75,000 for the
three months  ended  August  31,1998,  related to the  construction  of Advanced
Culinary  Centers  and the  development  and  implementation  of a new  computer
information system.

INCOME TAXES
The  effective  income tax rate on  continuing  operations  for the three months
ended  August 31, 1998 was 40.0% as compared to 39.5% for the same period of the
prior year.


EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company has adopted  Financial  Accounting  Standards Board Statement (SFAS)
No. 128,  "Earnings  Per Share",  and has restated  earnings  per share  amounts
reported in prior periods in accordance  with SFAS 128. Basic earnings per share
is based on the  weighted  average  number of  shares  outstanding  during  each
quarter.  Diluted  earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares  outstanding  during each  quarter plus the effect of  outstanding  stock
options using the treasury stock method.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total assets at August 31, 1998 were $85.4 million, a $1.1 million increase over
$84.4 million as of the prior fiscal year end. This increase is  attributable to
an increase of $2.2 million in net fixed assets for the construction of Advanced
Culinary Centers and the development of a new computer  information system and a
$1.5  million  increase  in  receivables  in  conjunction  with the  increase in
revenue.

Total liabilities at August 31, 1998 were $77.1 million, a $1.1 million increase
from $76.0  million as of the end of the prior  fiscal year.  This  increase was
primarily  due to a $4.6 million  increase in debt to fund the increase in fixed
assets and accounts receivable.

In June 1998, the Company  replaced its $50 million  credit  facility with a $75
million revolving credit line from four financial  institutions.  The new credit
line has a variable interest rate based upon LIBOR and variable interest payment
requirements.  The  principal  is due no later than June 30,  2003.  The initial
amount  borrowed was $35.4  million,  all of which was used to repay the balance
due on the prior $50 million and $5 million credit facilities.

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. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information."



IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
Currently  there is  significant  uncertainty  within the software  industry and
among software users  regarding the impact of installed  computer  software that
has been programmed to accept only two-digit entries in the date code fields and
to  use  such  two-digit  entries  in  the  software's  calculation  and  report
generation  formats.  Current versions of the Company's  software  programs have
been and are being  assessed  to  determine  the  impact of  becoming  Year 2000
compliant.  Similarly,  as part of its  continuing  review  and  improvement  of
systems and operations, the Company is in the process of modifying and replacing
certain  software  programs to avoid any  detrimental  effects in its  installed
software programs while upgrading and enhancing the overall effectiveness of its
information  management systems. The project is expected to be completed well in
advance of December 31, 1999.  While this  project  includes  both Year 2000 and
general  improvements,  the estimate of the costs to address both issues is less
than $5 million, most of which has already been spent. At this time, the design,
testing,  and  implementation has been completed for approximately 60% to 70% of
the Company's software  programs.  Conversion of the remaining software programs
has  been  designed  and is in the  final  testing  phase,  with  implementation
scheduled to be completed  before the end of the fiscal year. Given the progress
to  date,  the  Company  does  not  expect  this  project  to  pose  significant
operational  problems  for  the  Company.   However,  the  Company  cannot  make
assurances  that  the  Company  will  not be  exposed  to any  potential  claims
resulting from the systems  problems  associated  with the century  change.  See
"Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information."

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 and Year 2000 compliance.  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.


SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
On September  29, 1998,  the Company's  Board of Directors  declared a quarterly
cash dividend of $0.04 per share of outstanding  Common Stock payable on October
30, 1998 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 12, 1998.

Industrial  Development Revenue Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $2.75
million. The bonds bear interest at a variable rate in accordance with the terms
of an Indenture  of Trust and are due January 1, 2013.  The debt is secured by a
stand-by letter of credit.

Acquisition - Culinary Service Network, Inc.
In October 1998, the Company  acquired for  approximately  $6 million all of the
outstanding common stock of  Philadelphia-based  Culinary Service Network,  Inc.
("CSN"),  in a cash transaction.  The price purchase may increase  contingent on
the future  earnings of CSN. The  acquisition  will be  accounted  for using the
purchase  method.  The resulting  goodwill  will be amortized  over twenty years
using the  straight-line  method.  The results of CSN will be included  from the
