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, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of income and changes in 
plan equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 
31, 1994.  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, 
1994 and 1993, and its income and changes in plan equity for each of 
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Morrison Restaurants Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan 
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1994 and 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.  Guaranteed 
investment contracts are stated at the contract value as determined by the 
insurance companies 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. The average cost of shares sold is 
used to compute gain or loss.

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 
current year's presentation.  Such reclassifications have no effect on 
previously reported plan equity.

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.

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.

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 of Alabama, trustee 
for the Plan.

2. Description of Plan (continued)
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.

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. 

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.

2. Description of Plan (continued)
  
Fixed Income Fund

The investment policy of the fixed income fund is to achieve income through 
investment in income-producing assets with relatively high security of 
principal.  These assets can include guaranteed investment contracts issued 
by insurance companies, 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.

Morrison Stock Fund
  
The investment policy of the stock fund is to allow participants to 
participate in the ownership of the Company.


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) ($9,240 
for 1994).  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.
