PART I

Item 1.     Business.

General

Morrison Health Care, Inc., a Georgia corporation, (the "Company"
or "MHCI"), became an independent publicly owned company in March
1996 as a result of the distribution (the "Distribution") by
Morrison Restaurants Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MRI"), to its
shareholders of all the issued and outstanding shares of common
stock of the Company.  As a result of the Distribution, MRI's
shareholders received one share of Company common stock for every
three shares of MRI held.  MHCI is the largest independent
company focused exclusively on providing food and nutrition
services to health care facilities.  The Company's mission is to
be the leading provider of food and nutrition services to the
health care industry, fully committed to maximizing quality and
value in everything the Company does for its clients, customers,
team members and shareowners.  With contracts in 31 states and
Washington D.C., MHCI is one of the leading providers of food and
nutrition services to hospitals and other health care facilities
across North America.

The Company's foodservice business has its origins in the health
care foodservice operations developed by it in the early 1950's.
The Company has expanded through its own marketing and sales
force and by acquiring other foodservice businesses.  In August
1994, the Company sold certain of its education, business and
industry ("B&I") contracts and assets and closed the remaining
B&I accounts.  This divestiture, which left the Company with only
health care contracts, allowed the Company to concentrate its
capital and management team in the health care industry which
Management believes has a better opportunity for growth and
profitability.

Operations

Morrison Health Care, Inc. operates the food and nutrition
services departments of hospitals and other health care
facilities.  These departments typically include retail outlets
for staff and visitors and patient food and nutrition services.
MHCI accounts range in size from 100 bed specialty hospitals to
facilities with over 2,100 beds.  The Company has operations in
31 states and Washington, D.C.  Approximately 78% of the accounts
are in hospitals.

The Company provides its clients with the flexibility to adjust
programs, staffing and service plans to meet the changing needs
of the industry.  MHCI has capitalized on its retail heritage in
operating restaurants to bring a retail-oriented mentality to
health care clients.  MHCI offers its clients programs designed
to reduce costs and increase customer (patients and staff)
satisfaction.  To better serve its clients and provide them with
specialized expertise, MHCI's staff is organized into regional
teams.  Teams may include a regional vice president, regional
director of operations, regional director of nutrition services,
regional director of culinary, human resources director, support
services coordinator and a director of business development who
are dedicated to sharing the best industry practices and
performance improvement ideas.  The regional teams are supported
by a corporate staff that includes nutrition services, marketing,
sales, vending, human resources, legal, finance, layout and
design and culinary services.

MHCI offers its services pursuant to three general types of
contracts:(i) profit and loss (or guaranteed cost) contract,
where MHCI assumes the risk of profit or loss for the foodservice
operation; (ii) management fee contract, where the client
reimburses MHCI for all costs incurred in providing the services
contracted for and a negotiated management fee for supervising
the client's food and nutrition services operations; and (iii)
management fee contract with incentives and penalties, under
which MHCI manages the client's food and nutrition operations on
a management fee basis, with the amount of the management fee
determined based on the achievement of predetermined goals.
Approximately 75% of MHCI's accounts are operated pursuant to
management fee contracts, as management fee contracts with
incentives and penalties are becoming more popular.  The majority
of MHCI's contracts were awarded through bidding processes.

In addition, MHCI operates "branded concept" restaurants such as
Pizza Hut and Taco Bell on client premises.  These branded
concepts accounts are operated pursuant to license arrangements
with the appropriate restaurant company.  Currently, MHCI has 13
license arrangements with nationally and regionally recognized
restaurant companies.

The Company has created a new division to develop advanced food
preparation and delivery systems.  These systems are designed to
increase customer satisfaction by enhancing production
consistencies and generate significant cost reductions, while
providing quality services for health care facilities nationwide.

MHCI markets its services nationwide through its business
development directors.  Each business development director
focuses on potential clients in a specific territory pursuant to
a marketing plan.  The business development directors along with
a vice president of health systems also market MHCI's services to
large national accounts.  In addition, MHCI personnel market to
existing clients to cross-sell additional services and increase
sales of existing services to complement the facility's
foodservices department.

Research and Development

The Company does not engage in any material research and
development activities.  Numerous studies are made, however, on a
continuing basis, to improve menus, equipment, and methods of
operations.

Raw Materials

Raw materials essential to the operation of the Company's
business are obtained principally through national food
distributors.  The Company uses short-term purchase commitment
contracts to stabilize the potentially volatile pricing
associated with certain commodities.  Because of the relatively
short storage life of inventories, limited storage facilities at
customer locations, MHCI's requirements for freshness and the
numerous sources of goods, a minimum amount of inventory is
maintained at customer locations.  If necessary, all essential
food, beverage and operational products are available and can be
obtained from alternative suppliers in all cities where the
Company operates.  The Company has entered into a purchasing
arrangement with Ruby Tuesday, Inc.("RTI"), successor to MRI's
casual dining business and Morrison Fresh Cooking, Inc. ("MFCI"),
which held the family dining assets of MRI and was spun off,
along with the Company, in the Distribution, to maintain the
volume purchasing bargaining position enjoyed by the Company
prior to the Distribution.

Trademarks of the Company

The Company has registered certain trademarks and service marks
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office including the
Pro-Health Dining trademark.  The Company believes that this and
other related marks are important to its business.  Registrations
of the Company's trademarks expire from 2000 to 2009, unless
renewed.

Seasonality

The Company's revenues are not seasonal to any significant
degree.

Working Capital Practices

Cash provided by operations, along with borrowings under the
Company's revolving lines of credit, are used to pay dividends,
invest in new units and renovate existing units.

Additional information concerning the working capital of the
Company is incorporated herein by reference to information
presented within the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" of the Company's 1997 Annual Report to
Shareholders.

Customer Dependence

No material part of the business of the Company is dependent upon
a single customer, or a very few customers, the loss of any one
of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Government Contracts

There is no material portion of the Company's business that is
subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts
or sub-contracts at the election of the Government.

Competition

The health care food and nutrition services business is highly
competitive.  The Company competes with national and regional
food contract companies that offer the same type of services as
the Company.  Management believes that competition in health care
food and nutrition services is based on pricing, quality of
services and reputation.  Management believes that it compares
favorably with its competition in these areas.

Government Compliance

The Company is subject to various regulations at both the state
and local levels for items such as sanitation, health and fire
safety, all of which could affect the operation of an existing
account.  The Company's business is also subject to various other
regulations at the federal level such as fair labor standards,
occupational safety and health regulations.  Compliance with
these regulations has not had, and is not expected to have, a
material adverse effect on the Company's operations.

Environmental Compliance

Compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations
which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of
materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the
protection of the environment, is not expected to have a material
effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive
position of the Company.

Personnel

The Company employs approximately 3,600 full-time and part-time
employees.  The Company believes that working conditions are
favorable and employee compensation is comparable with its
competition.


Item 2.  Properties.

MHCI professionally manages foodservice departments on client-
owned properties and, therefore, does not own any significant
amounts of property.  Vending services on client-owned facilities
complement the foodservice program.  Under the terms of certain
contracts, MHCI is required to make rent payments to its clients.
See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year
ended May 31, 1997.

Facilities and equipment are repaired and maintained to assure
their adequacy, productive capacity and utilization.  The
corporate headquarters is located in approximately 14,000 square
feet of a leased building in Smyrna, Georgia.  The headquarters'
lease term ends in 2001 with annual average lease payments of
approximately $239,000.  The Company also has administrative
offices in a leased building in Mobile, Alabama.  This office has
a lease term ending in 2001 with average annual lease payments of
approximately $105,000.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

The Company is presently, and from time to time, subject to
pending claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of its
business.  In the opinion of Management, the ultimate resolution
of these pending legal proceedings will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's operations or consolidated
financial position.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

None.
