                   Report of Independent Auditors

  
Employee Benefits Committee 
 Morrison Restaurants Inc.
  
We have audited the accompanying statements of financial
condition of the Morrison Restaurants Inc. Deferred
Compensation Plan as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
related statements of income and changes in plan equity for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1993.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
  
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards.  Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
condition of the Morrison Restaurants Inc. Deferred
Compensation Plan at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and its
income and changes in plan equity for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Morrison Restaurants Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 1993
  
  
1. Significant Accounting Policies
  
The financial statements of the Morrison Restaurants Inc.
Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) are presented on the
accrual basis of accounting.

Investments in common trust funds are stated at fair value
based on quoted redemption values on the last business day
of the plan year.  The guaranteed investment contract is 
stated at the contract value as determined by the Principal
Financial Group based on the guaranteed rate of return. 
Morrison Restaurants Inc. common stock is traded on the   
New York Stock Exchange and is valued at the closing sales
price on the last business day of the plan year.  Prior to
October 21, 1993 Morrison Restaurants Inc. common stock was
traded on the over-the-counter market.  Other common stocks
held are also  valued at the closing sales price on the last
business day of the plan year. The average cost of shares
sold is used to compute gain or loss.

2. Description of Plan
  
The Plan was established January  1, 1988 to provide
additional incentive and retirement security for a select
group of management and certain highly compensated employees
of Morrison Restaurants Inc. and its subsidiaries (the
Company).  The Plan was amended effective January 1, 1990 to
provide for investment direction by participants, including
the ability to invest in Company stock.
  
The general administration of the Plan is the responsibility
of the Employee Benefits Committee (the Committee) which
consists of at least two persons and not more than seven
persons appointed by the Board of Directors.  Costs of
administering the Plan are paid by the Company to the extent
not paid by the Trust.  The Plan's assets are held by
AmSouth Bank, N.A., trustee for the Plan.  

To participate in the Plan, the employee must have been
designated for participation in the Plan by the Plan
Administrator. Additionally, the employee must authorize, on
a form prescribed by the Committee, the deduction from his
pay of the basic contribution as defined by the Plan. 
Participants may contribute amounts ranging from 2% to 20%
of their compensation and specify the various investment
alternatives to which the Plan's assets will be directed.

2. Description of Plan (continued)
  
These investment alternatives are:
  
Money Market Fund
  
The investment policy of the money market fund is to invest
in income-producing assets with relatively short terms and
relatively high security of principal.  These assets can
include government securities, commercial paper (publicly
traded or privately placed), other debt securities, shares
of money market mutual funds, units of participation in the
Trustee's short-term investment trust, and time deposits or
certificates of deposit of any bank or savings and loan
association, the deposits of which are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, including the
Trustee.  The money market fund had 23 participants at
December 31, 1993. 

Equity Fund
  
The investment policy of the equity fund is to invest in
relatively high quality equity assets producing either
income or capital appreciation, or both.  These assets can
include common stocks and similar equity securities 
(including warrants or rights to subscribe to or securities
convertible into stock or securities), and shares of mutual
funds which invest in common stock.  The equity fund had 117
participants at December 31, 1993.
  
Fixed Income Fund

The investment policy of the fixed income fund is to achieve
income through investment in income-producing assets with
capital appreciation being of secondary importance.  These
assets can include bonds, notes, debentures, mortgages,
preferred stocks, interests in leases of either real or
personal property, or both, contracts or other evidences of
indebtedness, endowment or annuity contracts, shares of
mutual funds, or other tangible or intangible property or
interests in property, either real or personal, the income
return from which is fixed or limited by the terms of the
instrument creating or evidencing the property or interest
in property.  The fixed income fund had 199 participants at
December 31, 1993.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


2. Description of Plan (continued)
  
Morrison Stock Fund
  
The investment policy of the stock fund is to allow
participants to participate in the ownership of the Company. 
The stock fund had 331 participants at December 31, 1993.
  
The Company matches 20% of contributions by participants
with 3 to 9 years of service, 30% for participants with 10
to 19 years, and 40% for participants with 20 or more years
of service or who are specifically designated by the Plan
Administrator as one of a select group of members to receive
a 40% matching contribution.  Matching contributions for any 
plan year shall be credited with respect to annual deferred
amounts of up to the maximum amount allowed under Internal
Revenue Code Section 402(g)(1) ($8,994 for 1993).  On April
25, 1990, the Company established  a post-1989 Stock Match
Fund.  Matching contributions are made to this fund and may
be invested entirely in Company stock.

Participants or their beneficiaries have a 100% vested
interest in the value of their respective contributions and
employer matching accounts.  The basic form of distribution
is a single lump sum payment in cash and Company stock.  

Effective January 1, 1993 the Plan was amended to continue
to allow participants to direct the investment of assets;
however, the Plan document will no longer require that the
Trustee precisely follow the participants' directions. 
Under this new approach, commonly referred to as a "phantom
plan," the manner in which assets are invested is determined
by the Trustee, who must achieve certain predetermined rates
of return.  Periodic earnings shortages below the
predetermined rate  of return would be required to be funded
by the Company.

Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Under Section 671
of the Internal Revenue Code, items of income, deduction or
credit in a grantor trust are treated as belonging to the
grantor. These items are reported on the income tax return
of the grantor, Morrison Restaurants Inc.  Participants must
