PART I
Item 1.     Business.

Introduction

Effective March 9, 1996, Morrison Restaurants Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("MRI"), distributed to its shareholders all of the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Morrison Health
Care, Inc. (the "Company"), which held the health care food and
nutrition services assets and business of MRI.  As a result of
the Distribution, MRI's shareholders received one share of
Company common stock for every three shares of MRI held.

General

Morrison Health Care, Inc., a Georgia corporation, was spun off
from Morrison Restaurants Inc. in March 1996.  MHCI is the only
national, public 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 food service business has its origins in the health
care food service operations developed by it in the early 1950's.
The Company has expanded through its own marketing and sales
force and by acquiring other food service 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 2,000 beds.  The Company has operations in
31 states and Washington, D.C.  Approximately 75% of the accounts
are in hospitals.

MHCI has capitalized on its retail heritage in operating
restaurants to bring a retail-oriented mentality to health care
clients.  Along with managing the food service facilities, the
Company also provides dietary services to some of the largest
hospitals in America.

The Company provides its clients with the flexibility to adjust
programs, staffing and service plans to meet the changing needs
of the industry.  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.  Each team includes a regional vice president, nutrition
services specialist, culinary specialist, 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, 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 food
service operation; (ii) management fee contract, where the client
reimburses MHCI for all costs incurred in providing the services
contracted for and a negotiated fixed 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 50% of MHCI's accounts are
operated pursuant to management fee contracts, although
management fee contracts with incentives and penalties are
becoming more popular.  Substantially all of MHCI's contracts
were awarded during a bidding process.

In addition, MHCI operates "branded concept" restaurants such as
Morrison Fresh Cooking, 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
recognized restaurant companies.

MHCI markets its services nationwide through its business
development specialists and business development directors.  Each
business development specialist focuses on potential clients in a
specific territory pursuant to a marketing plan.  The business
development specialists report to and are supported by business
development directors.  The business development directors also
market MHCI's services to large national accounts such as
hospital systems.  In addition, MHCI personnel market to existing
clients to cross-sell additional services and increase sales of
existing services to complement the facility's food services
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 negotiates directly with the primary
suppliers to obtain high quality products and services at
competitive prices.  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 location, 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") and
Morrison Fresh Cooking, Inc. ("MFCI") to maintain the volume
purchasing bargaining position enjoyed by the Company prior to
its spin-off.

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 Diningr trademark.  The Company believes that this and
other related marks are important to its business.  Registrations
of 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 1996 Annual Report to
Stockholders.

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 licensing and 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 3,100 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 food service departments on client-
owned property and, therefore, does not own any significant
amounts of property.  Vending services on client-owned facilities
complement this 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 Stockholders for the fiscal year ended June
1, 1996.

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.
