PART I
ITEM 1.     BUSINESS.


General

Morrison  Management  Specialists,  Inc.  (the  "Company"  or "MMSI"),  formerly
Morrison Health Care,  Inc.,  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 stockholders received one share of Company common stock for
every three shares of MRI stock held.

MMSI is the largest  independent  company focused exclusively on healthcare food
service.  Its clients  include acute care  hospitals,  health systems and senior
living communities. With contracts in 35 states and Washington D.C., MMSI is one
of  the  leading  providers  of  food,  nutrition  and  dining  services  to the
healthcare and senior living industries.

The Company's healthcare food service operations  originated in the early 1950s.
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 left the Company with only
healthcare  contracts  and allowed the  Company to  concentrate  its capital and
management  team in the  healthcare  industry,  which  Management  believes  has
significant opportunity for growth and profitability.

The Company  believes the senior living market is the fastest growing segment of
the healthcare industry.  Changing  demographics and lifestyles are accelerating
the construction of retirement communities.  Over the past two fiscal years, the
Company has emphasized  its commitment to provide dining  services to the senior
living  market by  acquiring  three  companies  in the field:  Drake  Management
Services,  Inc. in January  1998,  Spectra  Services,  Inc.  in March 1998,  and
Culinary  Service Network,  Inc. in October 1998.  Believing that this market is
under-penetrated  and rapidly expanding,  the Company plans for future growth in
the senior  living market to result  primarily  from  internal  development  and
acquisitions.

Operations

The Company has two  operating  divisions.  Morrison  Healthcare  Food  Services
manages  the  food and  nutrition  services  departments  of  hospitals,  health
systems, and other healthcare  facilities.  These departments  typically include
retail outlets for staff,  residents and visitors and patient food and nutrition
services.  Morrison  Senior  Dining  provides  dining  services to senior living
communities.  MMSI  healthcare  accounts  range in size from 100 bed  specialty
hospitals to facilities  with over 1,500 beds. MMSI senior living accounts range
in size from 100 residents to 600  residents.  The Company has  operations in 35
states and Washington,  D.C. Approximately 68% of the accounts are in hospitals,
while over 30% of the accounts are in senior living communities.

The  Company  provides  its clients  with the  flexibility  to adjust  programs,
staffing and service plans to meet the changing needs of the industry.  MMSI has
capitalized on its restaurant  heritage to bring a retail-oriented  mentality to
healthcare and senior living clients.  MMSI offers its clients programs designed
to  reduce  costs  and   increase   customer   (patients, residents  and  staff)


satisfaction.  To better  serve its clients and  provide  them with  specialized
expertise,  MMSI'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.  Each team
member is  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.

MMSI 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 sales and marketing,  also market MMSI's services
to large national  healthcare  accounts.  In addition,  MMSI personnel market to
existing  clients to expand the  Company's  food  service  responsibilities  and
increase sales of existing  services to complement the facility's  food services
department.  The Company is planning to continue its  expansion  into the senior
living market  through  internal  growth and  development as well as through key
acquisitions.

MMSI offers its services  pursuant to two general types of contracts:(i)  profit
and loss (or guaranteed cost)  contracts,  where MMSI assumes the risk of profit
or loss for the food service operation and (ii) management fee contracts,  where
the client reimburses MMSI for all or nearly all costs incurred in providing the
services  contracted  plus a  negotiated  management  fee  for  supervising  the
client's food and nutrition services  operations.  In addition,  some management
fee contracts include  incentives and penalties,  pursuant to which MMSI manages
the client's food and nutrition  operations on a management fee basis,  with the
amount of the management  fee determined in whole or in part by the  achievement
of  predetermined  goals.  Approximately  71% of MMSI's  accounts  are  operated
pursuant to management fee contracts.  Management fee contracts with  incentives
and penalties are becoming more popular.  The majority of MMSI's  contracts were
awarded through bidding processes.

In addition, MMSI operates "branded concept" restaurants such as Burger King(R),
Chick-Fil-A(R),  Pizza Hut(R)and Taco Bell(R) on client premises.  These branded
concept  accounts  are  operated  pursuant  to  license  arrangements  with  the
appropriate restaurant company. Currently, MMSI has 16 license arrangements with
nationally and regionally recognized restaurant companies.

The Company has  advanced  food  preparation  and delivery  systems  designed to
increase  customer  satisfaction  by enhancing  production  consistencies  while
generating  significant  cost  reductions  and  providing  quality  services for
healthcare facilities nationwide.

Research and Development

The Company does not engage in any material research and development activities.
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,  MMSI'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.

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(R) 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  1999 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 healthcare 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 healthcare 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 existing  accounts.  The Company's  business is also subject to
various other  regulations at the federal level such as fair labor standards and
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 5,700 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.

MMSI manages food and dining services on client-owned properties and, therefore,
does  not  own  any  significant  amounts  of  property.   Vending  services  on
client-owned  facilities complement the food service program. Under the terms of
certain contracts, MMSI is required to make rent payments to its clients.

The corporate  headquarters are located in approximately 20,000 square feet of a
leased building in a suburb of Atlanta,  Georgia.  The  headquarters'lease  term
ends in 2001,  with remaining  average  annual lease  payments of  approximately
$365,000.  The Company also has  administrative  offices in a leased building in
Mobile,  Alabama. This office has a lease term ending in 2001. In addition,  the
Company  has set up  strategic  regional  offices  across the  United  States to
service the needs of the Company's team members and clients  located within that
region.

During  fiscal  year  1998,  MMSI  constructed  two  advanced  food  preparation
facilities or "Advanced  Culinary Centers" (ACC) to utilize its expertise in the
cook-chill food processing.  The Tampa,  Florida ACC includes about 5,000 square
feet of light  industrial space with a lease term ending in 2002. The Baltimore,
Maryland ACC includes  approximately  15,000 square feet of light industrial and
regional office space.

Facilities and equipment are repaired and  maintained to assure their  adequacy,
productive capacity and utilization.

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.
