Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations.

         DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. Morgan's Foods, Inc. ("the Company") operates
through wholly-owned subsidiaries Kentucky Fried Chicken ("KFC") restaurants
under franchises from KFC Corporation and has rights to operate, as a
franchisee, East Side Mario's restaurants in the Cleveland/Akron and Columbus,
Ohio areas. As of July 7, 1997, the Company operates 40 KFC restaurants, two of
which also offer Taco Bell products, and six East Side Mario's restaurants. The
Company's fiscal year is a 52 - 53 week year ending on the Sunday nearest the
last day of February.

         REVENUES. Revenues for the quarter ended May 25, 1997 were $8,896,000
compared to $9,005,000 for the quarter ended May 26, 1996. The decrease of
$109,000 was the result of a $75,000 increase in KFC revenues offset by a
$184,000 decline in revenues from the East Side Mario's restaurants. This
reflects a 1.9% comparable restaurant increase in KFC revenues and an 8.0%
comparable restaurant decline for the East Side Mario's. Revenues at the KFC
restaurants increased because of effective marketing support and the
introduction of new products by the franchisor while the East Side Mario's
restaurant revenues continued to decline due to the lack of marketing support
and inadequate menu and food systems provided by the franchisor.

         COSTS OF SALES - FOOD, PAPER AND BEVERAGES. Food, paper and beverage
costs for the fiscal 1998 quarter decreased as a percentage of revenue from
31.3% in fiscal 1997 to 31.1%. The decrease was due to refunds received from a
poultry price guarantee program in the KFC restaurants and improvements in the
food and paper costs of the East Side Mario's restaurants, partially offset by
inefficiencies in the addition of the Company's first Taco Bell 2-in-1 location
in Youngstown, Ohio and the opening of a new KFC restaurant in Greensburg,
Pennsylvania.

         COST OF SALES - LABOR AND BENEFITS. Labor and benefits increased as a
percentage of revenue for the quarter ended May 25, 1997 to 26.7% compared to
25.8% one year ago. The increase is primarily due to the minimum wage increase
and temporary inefficiencies associated with the KFC and Taco Bell additions
mentioned above.

         RESTAURANT OPERATING EXPENSES. Restaurant operating expenses decreased
as a percentage of revenue from 29.9% in fiscal 1997 to 27.6% in fiscal 1998.
The decrease was primarily caused by lower promotional activities and $25,000 in
one time expenses incurred by the East Side Mario's restaurants in the prior
fiscal year for dinnerware and supplies related to the adoption of a new menu.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization for fiscal
1998 declined to $419,000 from $453,000 in fiscal 1997 due to asset writedowns
recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997 for certain East Side Mario's
restaurant properties and goodwill remaining from a previous KFC acquisition.
This effect was partially offset by the addition of property and equipment for
the KFC restaurants.

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
expenses for fiscal 1998 were $661,000 compared to $637,000 in the first quarter
of fiscal 1997. The increase of $24,000 was primarily the result of one time
expenses for travel and lodging related to a system-wide KFC manager training
program held during the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

         OPERATING INCOME. Operating income in the current quarter increased to
$216,000 from $78,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Operating income for
the KFC restaurants in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 improved 

                                       7

by $56,000 compared to the prior year quarter while the operating loss
for the East Side Mario's restaurants decreased by $82,000.

         INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense on bank debt increased to $191,000
in fiscal 1998 from $133,000 in fiscal 1997 due to the increase in bank debt
balances. Interest expense on capitalized leases was substantially unchanged
from the prior year first quarter.

         OTHER INCOME. Other income decreased to $16,000 in fiscal 1998 from
$32,000 in fiscal 1997 as the result of lower interest income earned on cash
balances during the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. Cash flow activity for the first
quarters of fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997 is presented in the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows. Cash provided by operating activities was $396,000 in
the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The Company paid scheduled long-term bank and
capitalized lease debt of $184,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and
received property and equipment financing of $741,000 to purchase a previously
leased KFC restaurant in St. Louis, Missouri and to refurbish three restaurants
in Pennsylvania and one in Ohio. In addition, the Company purchased property and
equipment of $1,433,000 which includes amounts financed by the $741,000 of
financing mentioned above as well as the addition of the Company's first Taco
Bell 2-in-1 to an existing KFC restaurant in Youngstown, Ohio and the building
of a new KFC restaurant in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Completion of both
facilities occurred after the end of the fiscal first quarter and the related
financing will be completed during the second fiscal quarter.

                  The KFC operations of the Company have historically provided
sufficient cash flow to service the Company's debt, refurbish and upgrade KFC
restaurant properties and cover administrative overhead. Management believes
that operating cash flow will provide sufficient capital to continue to operate
and maintain the KFC and East Side Mario's restaurants, service the Company's
debt and support required corporate expenses. In addition to the Company's
operating cash flow, management believes that additional financing, including
long term leases of build-to-suit restaurants and development lines of credit
can be obtained for use in the acquisition of new KFC properties and
refurbishment of existing ones.

         OTHER. The Company is currently not in full compliance with the 
American Stock Exchange financial condition guidelines for continued listing.
Specifically, the guidelines indicate that any company with shareholders' 
equity less than $4,000,000 and losses in 3 of its last 4 fiscal years may be
considered for delisting. This condition has been reviewed with representatives
of the American Stock Exchange who indicated that the company's performance
will continue to be monitored by the Exchange.
