     ITEM 1.      CHANGE IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT


         (a)      On May 28, 1998, Piccadilly Acquisition Corporation ("Merger
         Sub"), a Georgia corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of
         Piccadilly Cafeterias, Inc. ("Parent") accepted for payment
         approximately 8,249,228 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per
         share (the "Shares") of Morrison Restaurants Inc., a Georgia
         corporation (the "Company"), tendered pursuant to Merger Sub's tender
         offer to purchase all outstanding Shares at a purchase price of $5.00
         per Share, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
         the Offer to Purchase dated April 29, 1998 and the related Letter of
         Transmittal (collectively, the "Offer"). The Offer was made pursuant to
         the Plan and Agreement of Merger dated April 22, 1998 by and among
         Merger Sub, Parent and the Company (the "Merger Agreement"). As a
         result of the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, Merger Sub
         currently owns approximately 89% of the outstanding Shares.

                  The aggregate purchase price for the Shares purchased pursuant
         to the Offer was approximately $41.3 million. To acquire the Shares,
         Parent utilized borrowings under two revolving master promissory notes,
         one in the amount of $75 million payable to Hibernia National Bank, and
         the other in the amount of $50 million payable to Wachovia Bank, N.A.

                  As a result of the acquisition of the Shares pursuant to the
         Merger Agreement, Merger Sub has designated four individuals to serve
         as directors of the Company along with three of the Company's current
         directors. At the request of the Merger Sub, certain directors of the
         Company have resigned and the remaining members of the Board of
         Directors appointed Merger Sub's designees to serve as directors,
         effective upon the payment for the Shares.

                  In addition, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company has
         agreed to convene a special meeting of its shareholders promptly after
         consummation of the Offer to consider and vote upon approval of the
         Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including
         the merger of Merger Sub into the Company (the "Merger"). Upon
         consummation of the Merger, each outstanding Share (other than Shares
         acquired by Merger Sub in the Offer and Shares as to which dissenters'
         rights are perfected, if any) will be converted into the right to
         receive $5.00 in cash. Accordingly, the Company will become a
         wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent as a result of the Merger.

         (b)      Except as set for the above, there are no arrangements known
         to the Company, the operation of which might as of a subsequent date
         result in a change of control of the Company.
