Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

February 12, 2014

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Luby’s, Inc. (the “Company” or “Luby’s”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements that are prepared for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended February 12, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending August 27, 2014.

The consolidated balance sheet dated August 28, 2013, included in this Form 10-Q, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. However, this Form 10-Q does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for an annual filing of complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 28, 2013.

The results of operations, assets and liabilities for all units included in the Company’s disposal plans discussed in Note 8 have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the statements of operations and balance sheets for all periods presented. All prior period corrections, discussed below, have been reflected in the statements of operations, statement of shareholders equity, statements of cash flows and balance sheets.

Correction of Immaterial Errors in Previously Issued Financial Statements

In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we identified accounting errors in prepaid assets and payroll related liabilities. The Company did not expense amounts related to these accounts properly in the appropriate prior periods. The errors impacted all prior reporting periods beginning in 2007. While these errors were not material to any previously issued annual or quarterly consolidated financial statements, management concluded that correcting the cumulative errors and related tax effects would be material to consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended February 12, 2014 and to the expected results of operations for the fiscal year ending August 27, 2014. Management evaluated the cumulative impact of the errors on prior periods under the guidance in ASC 25010 relating to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic1.M, Assessing Materiality. The Company also evaluated the impact of correcting the errors through an adjustment to its financial statements and concluded, based on the guidance within ASC 250-10 relating to SAB Topic 1.N, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current YearFinancial Statements, to revise its previously issued financial statements to reflect the impact of the correction of these errors when it files subsequent reports on Form 10Q and Form 10K. Accordingly, the Company has revised its consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended February 12, 2014, to correct these errors. Revisions to periods not presented will be reflected accordingly as they are included in future filings. The prior period error corrections did not change the net cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities previously reported. The cumulative effect on retained earnings as of August 28, 2013, was a reduction of $386,000, as reflected in the Statement of Shareholders Equity as of February 12, 2014.

Note 2. Accounting Periods

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Wednesday in August. Accordingly, each fiscal year normally consists of 13 four-week periods, or accounting periods, accounting for 364 days in the aggregate. Each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year consists of three four-week periods, while the fourth quarter normally consists of four four-week periods. Fiscal years 2014 and 2013 contain 52 weeks. Comparability between quarters may be affected by the varying lengths of the quarters, as well as the seasonality associated with our business segments. Seasonality factors affecting a quarter include timing of holidays, weather and school years. Interim results may not be indicative of full year results.

Note 3. Acquisition

The Company through its newly created subsidiary, Paradise Cheeseburgers, LLC, purchased 100% of the membership units of Paradise Restaurant Group, LLC and affiliated companies which operate Cheeseburger in Paradise brand restaurants (collectively, “Cheeseburger in Paradise”) on December 6, 2012 for $10.2 million in cash. The Company assumed $2.4 million of Cheeseburger in Paradise obligations, real estate leases and contracts. The Company funded the purchase with existing cash reserves and borrowings from its credit facility.

The Company has accounted for the acquisition of Cheeseburger in Paradise using the acquisition method, and accordingly, the results of operations related to this acquisition have been included in the consolidated results of the Company since the acquisition date. The Company incurred $0.4 million in acquisition costs, which were expensed as incurred and classified as general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

The allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on respective fair values. The purchase price for the Company’s acquisition of Cheeseburger in Paradise and the assumption of liabilities is based on estimates of fair values at the acquisition date.

Such valuations require significant estimates and assumptions. The Company believes the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable assumptions.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, in thousands, at the date of acquisition:

Cash and cash equivalents	$	58
Accounts receivable		93
Inventories		561
Other current assets		376
Property and equipment		6,374
Liquor licenses and permits		188
Favorable leases		2,646
License agreement and trade name		254
Goodwill		1,975
Accrued liabilities		(2,356	)
Net acquisition cost	$	10,169

The license agreement and trade name relates to a perpetual license to use intangible assets including trademarks, service marks and publicity rights related to Cheeseburger in Paradise owned by Jimmy Buffett and affiliated entities. In return, the Company will pay a royalty fee of 2.5% of gross sales less discounts at acquired Cheeseburger in Paradise locations to an entity owned or controlled by Jimmy Buffett. The trade name represents a respected brand with positive customer loyalty, and the Company intends to cultivate and protect the use of the trade name.

The Company will amortize the fair value allocated to the license agreement and trade name over an expected accounting life of 15 years based on the expected use of its assets and the restaurant environment in which it is being used. The Company recorded approximately $4 thousand of amortization expense for the quarter ended February 12, 2014, which is classified as depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Because the value of these assets will be amortized using the straight-line method over 15 years, the annual amortization will be $17 thousand in future years.

9

A portion of the acquired lease portfolio contained favorable leases. Acquired lease terms were compared to current market lease terms to determine if the acquired leases were below or above the current rates tenants would pay for similar leases. The favorable lease assets totaled $2.6 million and are recorded in other assets. There were determined to be no unfavorable leases. The favorable leases are amortized to rent expense on a straight line basis over the lives of the related leases. The Company recorded $30 thousand of amortization expense for the quarter ended February 12, 2014, which is classified as additional rent expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The following table shows the prospective amortization of the favorable lease asset:

	Fiscal Year Ended
	August 27, 2014		August 26, 2015		August 31, 2016		August 30, 2017		August 29, 2018
	(In thousands)
Favorable	$	126	$	121	$	121	$	121	$	121

Annual depreciation expense will be approximately $0.5 million of the $6.4 million of property and equipment.

The Company also recorded an intangible asset for goodwill in the amount of $2.0 million. Goodwill is considered to have an indefinite useful life and is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually. The total amount of goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Note 4. Reportable Segments

The Company has three reportable segments: Company-owned restaurants, franchise operations and Culinary Contract Services (“CCS”).

Company-owned restaurants

Company-owned restaurants consists of several brands which are aggregated into one reportable segment because the nature of the products and services, the production processes, the customers, the methods used to distribute the products and services, the nature of the regulatory environment and store level profit margin are similar. The chief operating decision maker analyzes Company-owned restaurants at store level profit which is revenue less cost of food, payroll and related costs, other operating expenses and occupancy costs. The primary brands are Luby’s Cafeteria, Fuddruckers and Cheeseburger in Paradise, with a couple of non-core restaurant locations under other brand names (i.e., Koo Koo Roo Chicken Bistro and Bob Luby’s Seafood). All company-owned restaurants are casual dining restaurants. Each restaurant is an operating segment because operating results and cash flow can be determined for each restaurant.

The total number of Company-owned restaurants was 181 at February 12, 2014 and 180 at August 28, 2013.

Culinary Contract Services

CCS, branded as Luby’s Culinary Contract Services, consists of a business line servicing healthcare, higher education and corporate dining clients. The healthcare accounts are full service and typically include in-room delivery, catering, vending, coffee service and retail dining. CCS has contracts with long-term acute care hospitals, acute care medical centers, ambulatory surgical centers, behavioral hospitals, business and industry clients, and higher education institutions. CCS has the unique ability to deliver quality services that include facility design and procurement as well as nutrition and branded food services to our clients. The costs of culinary contract services on the Consolidated Statements of Operations include all food, payroll and related costs and other operating expenses related to CCS sales.

The total number of CCS contracts was 22 at February 12, 2014 and 21 at August 28, 2013.

Franchise Operations

We offer franchises for only the Fuddruckers brand. Franchises are sold in markets where expansion is deemed advantageous to the development of the Fuddruckers concept and system of restaurants. Initial franchise agreements have a term of 20 years. Franchise agreements typically grant franchisees an exclusive territorial license to operate a single restaurant within a specified area, usually a four-mile radius surrounding the franchised restaurant.

10

Franchisees bear all direct costs involved in the development, construction and operation of their restaurants. In exchange for a franchise fee, the Company provides franchise assistance in the following areas: site selection, prototypical architectural plans, interior and exterior design and layout, training, marketing and sales techniques, assistance by a Fuddruckers “opening team” at the time a franchised restaurant opens, and operations and accounting guidelines set forth in various policies and procedures manuals.

All franchisees are required to operate their restaurants in accordance with Fuddruckers standards and specifications, including controls over menu items, food quality and preparation. The Company requires the successful completion of its training program by a minimum of three managers for each franchised restaurant. In addition, franchised restaurants are evaluated regularly by the Company for compliance with franchise agreements, including standards and specifications through the use of periodic, unannounced, on-site inspections and standard evaluation reports.

The number of franchised restaurants was 114 at February 12, 2014 and 116 at August 28, 2013.

11

The table below shows financial information as required by ASC 280 for segment reporting. ASC 280 requires depreciation and amortization be disclosed for each reportable segment, even if not used by the chief operating decision maker. The table also lists total assets for each reportable segment. Corporate assets include cash and cash equivalents, tax refunds receivable, property and equipment, assets related to discontinued operations, property held for sale, deferred tax assets, prepaid expenses, intangible assets and goodwill.

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements

GAAP establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Fair value measurements guidance applies whenever other statements require or permit asset or liabilities to be measured at fair value.

GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include:

= Level 1: Defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

= Level 2: Defined as pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures.

= Level 3: Defined as pricing inputs that are unobservable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

Non-recurring fair value measurements related to impaired property and equipment consisted of the following:

			Fair Value Measurement Using
	Two Quarters Ended February 12, 2014		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Impairments
			(In thousands)

Note 6. Income Taxes

No cash payments of estimated federal income taxes were made during the quarter ended February 12, 2014. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using currently enacted rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent future taxable income is expected to be sufficient to utilize those assets prior to their expiration.

Management believes that adequate provisions for income taxes have been reflected in the financial statements and is not aware of any significant exposure items that have not been reflected in the financial statements. Amounts considered probable of settlement within one year have been included in the accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Note 7. Property and Equipment, Intangible Assets and Goodwill

The cost, net of impairment, and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment at February 12, 2014 and August 28, 2013, together with the related estimated useful lives used in computing depreciation and amortization, were as follows:

	February 12, 2014			August 28, 2013			Estimated Useful Lives (years)
	(In thousands)
Land	$	65,463		$	62,191				—
Restaurant equipment and furnishings		125,953			116,655			1	to	15
Buildings		178,022			172,342			20	to	33
Leasehold and leasehold improvements		39,178			39,108			Lesser of lease term or estimated useful life
Office furniture and equipment		8,021			7,466			3	to	10
Construction in progress		5,762			7,814
		422,399			405,576
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization		(222,756	)		(215,066	)
Property and equipment, net	$	199,643		$	190,510
Intangible assets, net	$	24,810		$	25,517			15	to	21
Goodwill	$	1,755		$	2,169

Intangible assets, net consist of the Fuddruckers trade name and franchise agreements and will be amortized. The Company believes the Fuddruckers trade name has an expected accounting life of 21 years from the date of acquisition based on the expected use of its assets and the restaurant environment in which it is being used. The trade name represents a respected brand with customer loyalty and the Company intends to cultivate and protect the use of the trade name. The franchise agreements, after considering renewal periods, have an estimated accounting life of 21 years from the date of acquisition and will be amortized over this period of time. The Company recorded $5.0 million of accumulated amortization as of February 12, 2014 and $4.5 million of accumulated amortization as of August 28, 2013.

Intangible assets, net also includes the license agreement and trade name related to Cheeseburger in Paradise and the value of the acquired licenses and permits allowing the sale of beverages with alcohol. These assets have an expected accounting life of 15 years from the date of acquisition December 6, 2012. The Company recorded accumulated amortization of $25 thousand as of February 12, 2014 and approximately $12 thousand of accumulated amortization as of August 28, 2013.

The Company recorded an intangible asset for goodwill in the amount of $0.2 million related to the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Fuddruckers. The Company also recorded an intangible asset for goodwill in the amount of $2.0 million related to the acquisition of the membership units of Paradise Restaurant Group, LLC. Goodwill is considered to have an indefinite useful life and is not amortized. Goodwill was $1.8 million as of February 12, 2014 and $2.2 million as of August 28, 2013 and relates to our Company-owned restaurants reportable segment.

14

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States require the Company to perform a goodwill impairment test annually and more frequently when negative conditions or a triggering event arise. In September 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance that simplified how entities test goodwill for impairment. After an assessment of certain qualitative factors, if it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, entities must perform the quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative test(s) become optional. For the annual analysis in fiscal year 2014, the Company has elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test. In future periods, the Company may determine that facts and circumstances indicate use of the qualitative assessment may be the most reasonable approach; however, management has determined that goodwill resulting from the Cheeseburger in Paradise acquisition will be evaluated using the quantitative approach for fiscal 2014. Management will be performing it’s formal annual assessment as of the second quarter each fiscal year, and will formally perform on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances exist that indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The company considers each of its restaurants to be a reporting unit. Management has therefore performed valuations using a discounted cash flow analysis for each of its restaurants to determine the fair value of each reporting unit for comparison with the reporting unit’s carrying value.

Management determined that $0.4 million in impairment losses related to goodwill which was recognized in full in the second quarter ended February 12, 2014.

Note 8. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Discontinued Operations and Property Held for Sale

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Store Closings

The Company periodically evaluates long-lived assets held for use and held for sale whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. The Company analyzes historical cash flows of operating locations and compares results of poorer performing locations to more profitable locations. The Company also analyzes lease terms, condition of the assets and related need for capital expenditures or repairs, as well as construction activity and the economic and market conditions in the surrounding area.

For assets held for use, the Company estimates future cash flows using assumptions based on possible outcomes of the areas analyzed. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the location’s assets, the Company records an impairment loss based on an estimate of discounted cash flows. The estimates of future cash flows, based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, require management’s subjective judgments. Assumptions and estimates used include operating results, changes in working capital, discount rate, growth rate, anticipated net proceeds from disposition of the property and if applicable, lease terms. The span of time for which future cash flows are estimated is often lengthy, increasing the sensitivity to assumptions made. The time span could be 20 to 25 years for newer properties, but only 5 to 10 years for older properties. Depending on the assumptions and estimates used, the estimated future cash flows projected in the evaluation of long-lived assets can vary within a wide range of outcomes. The Company considers the likelihood of possible outcomes in determining the best estimate of future cash flows. The measurement for such an impairment loss is then based on the fair value of the asset as determined by discounted cash flows.

The Company recognized the following impairment charges to income from operations:

	Two Quarters Ended
	February 12, 2014			February 13, 2013
	(24 weeks)			(24 weeks)
	(In thousands, except per share data)
Provision for asset impairments	$	1,850		$	90
Net (gain) loss on disposition of property and equipment		—			(1,563	)
	$	1,850		$	(1,473	)
Effect on EPS:
Basic	$	(0.06	)	$	0.05
Assuming dilution	$	(0.06	)	$	0.05

The impairment charge for the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 is related to assets at one Fuddruckers location and assets and allocated goodwill at seven Cheeseburger in Paradise locations.

The impairment charge for the two quarters ended February 13, 2013 is related to an operating Fuddruckers restaurant at a leased location.

The net gain for the two quarters ended February 13, 2013 includes the gain on disposal of assets at a Koo Koo Roo leased location and proceeds from the eminent domain disposition of part of a parking lot at a Luby’s cafeteria location net of asset retirements.

Discontinued Operations

As a result of the first quarter fiscal 2010 adoption of the Company’s Cash Flow Improvement and Capital Redeployment Plan (“the Plan”), the Company reclassified 23 operating stores and one previously closed location to discontinued operations. The results of operations, assets and liabilities for all units included in the Plan have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the statement of operations and balance sheets for all periods presented.  

15

On March 21, 2014, the Company adopted a disposal plan for selected under-performing recently acquired leaseholds operating as Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants, see Note 3 regarding the purchase of Cheeseburger in Paradise. As of February 12, 2014, two Cheeseburger in Paradise locations have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the statement of operations and balance sheet accordingly.

The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities for all discontinued operations:

	February 12, 2014		August 28, 2013
	(in thousands)
Cash	$	—	$	5
Food and supply inventories		—		41
Prepaid expenses		12		35

Liabilities related to discontinued operations—current	$	493	$	477
Other liabilities	$	396	$	327
Liabilities related to discontinued operations—non-current	$	396	$	327

As of August 28, 2013, the Company had six restaurant properties classified as discontinued operations assets. The carrying value of four owned properties was $3.8 million at August 28, 2013. The carrying values of two ground leases were previously impaired to zero.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, construction began at one of the ground lease locations. Consequently, the property was reclassified as a continuing operations asset. Also during the second quarter of fiscal 2014, two Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants at in-line leased locations were closed and reclassified as part of discontinued operations.

As of February 12, 2014, the Company had seven restaurant properties classified as discontinued operations. The carrying value of four owned properties was $3.7 million at February 12, 2014. The carrying value of the one ground lease and two in-line leases were previously impaired to zero.

The Company is actively marketing all of these properties for lease or sale and the Company’s results of discontinued operations will be affected by the disposal of properties related to discontinued operations to the extent proceeds from the sales exceed or are less than net book value.

The following table sets forth the sales and pretax income (losses) reported for discontinued operations:

	Two Quarters Ended
	February 12, 2014			February 13, 2013
	(24 weeks)			(24 weeks)
	(In thousands, except discontinued locations)

The following table summarizes discontinued operations for the first two quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013:

	Two Quarters Ended
	February 12, 2014			February 13, 2013
	(24 weeks)			(24 weeks)

Discontinued operations	$	(818	)	$	(537	)
Effect on EPS from discontinued operations—basic	$	(0.03	)	$	(0.02	)

Within discontinued operations, the Company offsets gains from applicable property disposals against total impairments. The amounts in the table described as “Other” include employment termination and shut-down costs, as well as operating losses through each restaurant’s closing date and carrying costs until the locations are finally disposed of.

The impairment charges included above relate to properties closed and designated for immediate disposal. The assets of these individual operating units have been written down to their net realizable values. In turn, the related properties have either been sold or are being actively marketed for sale. All dispositions are expected to be completed within one to three years. Within discontinued operations, the Company also recorded the related fiscal year-to-date net operating results, employee terminations and carrying costs of the closed units.

Property Held for Sale

The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets against its plans to retain or ultimately dispose of properties. If the Company decides to dispose of a property, it will be moved to property held for sale and actively marketed. The Company analyzes market conditions each reporting period and records additional impairments due to declines in market values of like assets. The fair value of the property is determined by observable inputs such as appraisals and prices of comparable properties in active markets for assets like the Company’s. Gains are not recognized until the properties are sold.

Property held for sale includes unimproved land, closed restaurant properties and related equipment for locations not classified as discontinued operations. The specific assets are valued at the lower of net depreciable value or net realizable value.

At August 28, 2013, the Company had one owned property recorded at approximately $0.6 million in property held for sale. The Company sold this property during the quarter ended November 20, 2013.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements, except for operating leases.

17

Pending Claims

From time to time, the Company is subject to various private lawsuits, administrative proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. A number of these lawsuits, proceedings and claims may exist at any given time. These matters typically involve claims from guests, employees and others related to issues common to the restaurant industry. The Company currently believes that the final disposition of these types of lawsuits, proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. It is possible, however, that the Company’s future results of operations for a particular fiscal quarter or fiscal year could be impacted by changes in circumstances relating to lawsuits, proceedings or claims.

Construction Activity

From time to time, the Company enters into non-cancelable contracts for the construction of its new restaurants. This construction activity exposes the Company to the risks inherent in new construction, including but not limited to rising material prices, labor shortages, delays in getting required permits and inspections, adverse weather conditions, and injuries sustained by workers. The Company had no non-cancelable contracts as of February 12. 2014.

Note 10. Related Parties

Affiliate Services

Christopher J. Pappas, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Harris J. Pappas, director and former Chief Operating Officer of the Company, own two restaurant entities (the “Pappas entities”) that from time to time may provide services to the Company and its subsidiaries, as detailed in the Amended and Restated Master Sales Agreement effective November 8, 2013 among the Company and the Pappas entities.

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Master Sales Agreement, the Pappas entities may provide specialized (customized) equipment fabrication and basic equipment maintenance, including stainless steel stoves, shelving, rolling carts, and chef tables. The total costs under the Amended and Restated Master Sales Agreement of custom-fabricated and refurbished equipment in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 and February 13, 2013 were zero and zero, respectively. Services provided under this agreement are subject to review and approval by the Finance and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).

Operating Leases

In the third quarter fiscal 2004, Messrs. Pappas became partners in a limited partnership which purchased a retail strip center in Houston, Texas. Messrs. Pappas collectively own a 50% limited partnership interest and a 50% general partnership interest in the limited partnership. A third-party company manages the center. One of the Company’s restaurants has rented and occupied space in that center since July 1969.

On November 22, 2006, the Company executed a new lease agreement in connection with the replacement and relocation of the existing restaurant with a new prototype restaurant in the retail strip center described above. The new restaurant opened in July 2008 and the new lease agreement provides for a primary term of approximately twelve years with two subsequent five-year options. The new lease also gives the landlord an option to buy out the agreement on or after the calendar year 2015 by paying the unamortized cost of the Company’s improvements. The Company is currently obligated to pay rent of $22.00 per square foot ($22.00 per square foot beginning January 2014) plus maintenance, taxes, and insurance during the primary term of the lease. Thereafter, the lease provides for increases in rent at set intervals. The new lease agreement was approved by both the Finance and Audit Committee of the Board and full Board. The Company made payments of $163 thousand and $144 thousand in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 and February 13, 2013, respectively.

18

On November14, 2012, the Company executed an additional lease agreement in connection with a proposed future restaurant concept in the retail strip center described above. This lease agreement provides for a primary term of approximately eight years with no renewal options. This lease agreement was approved by the Finance and Audit Committee of the Board. The Company made payments of $8,300 in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014. Affiliated rents paid for this restaurant property lease represented 2.1% and 2.2% of total rents for continuing operations for the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 and February 13, 2013, respectively. The Company terminated the lease on October 31, 2013.

Restricted Stock Units

Grants of restricted stock units consist of the Company’s common stock and generally vest after three years. All restricted stock units are cliff-vested. Restricted stock units are valued at the closing market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant.

A summary of the Company’s restricted stock unit activity during the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 is presented in the following table:

	Restricted Stock Units			Weighted Average Fair Value		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term

Restricted Stock Awards

Under the Nonemployee Director Stock Plan, directors are granted restricted stock in lieu of cash payments, for all or a portion of their compensation as directors. The number of shares granted is valued at the closing market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. Restricted stock awards vest when granted because they are granted in lieu of a cash payment. However, directors are restricted from selling their shares until after the third anniversary of the date of the grant. Directors may receive a 20% premium of additional restricted stock by opting to receive stock in lieu of cash.

Note 12. Earnings Per Share

 Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and unvested restricted stock for the reporting period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of diluted net income per share, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options determined using the treasury stock method. Stock options excluded from the computation of net income per share for the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 include approximately 37,000 shares with exercise prices exceeding market prices and approximately 250,000 shares whose inclusion would also be anti-dilutive.

The components of basic and diluted net income per share are as follows:

	Quarter Ended						Two Quarters Ended
	February 12, 2014			February 13, 2013			February 12, 2014			February 13, 2013

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the period ended November 20, 2013 included in Item1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 28, 2013.

The following presents an analysis of the results and financial condition of our continuing operations. Except where indicated otherwise, the results of discontinued operations are excluded from this discussion.

Overview

Luby’s, Inc. is a multi-branded company operating in the restaurant industry and the contract food services industry. Our primary brands include Luby’s Cafeteria, Fuddruckers, Cheeseburger in Paradise and Luby’s Culinary Contract Services. Also included in our brands are Luby’s, Etc., Koo Koo Roo Chicken Bistro (“Koo Koo Roo”) and Bob Luby’s Seafood. We purchased substantially all of the assets of Fuddruckers, Inc., Magic Brands, LLC and certain of their affiliates (collectively known as, “Fuddruckers”) in July 2010. We purchased all of the Membership Units of Paradise Restaurant Group, LLC and certain of their affiliates (collectively known as, “Cheeseburger in Paradise”) effective December 5, 2012.

As of February 12, 2014, we owned and operated 181 restaurants, of which 94 are traditional cafeterias, 66 are gourmet hamburger restaurants, 19 are casual dining restaurants and bars, one is an upscale fast serve chicken restaurant, and one primarily serves seafood. These establishments are located in close proximity to retail centers, business developments and residential areas mostly throughout the United States.

Also as of February 12, 2014, we operated 22 Culinary Contract Services facilities. These facilities service healthcare, higher education and corporate dining clients in Texas and Louisiana. The healthcare accounts are full service and typically include in-room delivery, catering, vending, coffee service and retail dining. Culinary Contract Services has contracts with long-term acute care hospitals, business and industry clients and higher education institutions.

Also as of February 12, 2014, we are a franchisor for a network of 114 franchised Fuddruckers restaurants. The owners of these franchise units pay royalty revenue to us as a franchisor.

Accounting Periods

Our fiscal year ends on the last Wednesday in August. As such, each fiscal year normally consists of 13 four-week periods, or accounting periods, accounting for 364 days in the aggregate. Each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year consists of three four-week periods, while the fourth quarter normally consists of four four-week periods. Comparability between quarters may be affected by varying lengths of the quarters, as well as the seasonality associated with the restaurant business.

Same-Store Sales

The restaurant business is highly competitive with respect to food quality, concept, location, price, and service, all of which may have an effect on same-store sales. Our same-store sales calculation measures the relative performance of a certain group of restaurants. To qualify for inclusion in this group, a store must have been in operation for 18 consecutive accounting periods. Our Fuddruckers units were included in this measurement beginning with the fiscal quarter ended May 9, 2012. Stores that close on a permanent basis are removed from the group in the fiscal quarter when operations cease at the restaurant, but remain in the same-store group for previously reported fiscal quarters. Although management believes this approach leads to more effective year-over-year comparisons, neither the time frame nor the exact practice may be similar to those used by other restaurant companies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the Second Quarter and Year-to-Date Fiscal 2014 versus the Second Quarter and Year-to-Date Fiscal 2013

Sales

Total sales increased approximately $2.5 million, or 2.9%, in the quarter ended February 12, 2014 compared to the quarter ended February 13, 2013, consisting primarily of a $2.2 million increase in restaurant sales and a $0.3 million increase in Culinary Contract Sales. The other components of total sales are franchise revenue and vending income.

Total sales increased approximately $9.9 million, or 6.0%, in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 compared to the two quarters ended February 13, 2013, consisting primarily of a $9.2 million increase in restaurant sales and a $0.7 million increase in Culinary Contract Sales.

The other components of total sales are franchise revenue and vending income The company operates with three reportable operating segments: Company-owned restaurants, franchise operations, and Culinary Contract Services.

Company-Owned Restaurants

Restaurant Sales

Restaurant sales increased $2.2 million in the quarter ended February 12, 2014, compared to the quarter ended February 13, 2013. The increase in restaurant sales included a $2.6 million increase in sales at Luby’s Cafeteria-branded restaurants, a $0.8 million decrease in sales from Fuddruckers-branded restaurants and a $0.4 million increase in sales at locations where we have introduced a Luby’s cafeteria and Fuddruckers side-by-side configuration. The increase in sales at our side-by-side configured locations is related to the addition of our second such location during the quarter ended February 12, 2014. On a same-store basis, our Luby’s Cafeteria-branded restaurants increased 4.4% and our Fuddruckers-branded restaurants decreased 2.7%; total same store sales increased 2.5%.

The increase in restaurant sales and same store sales at our Cafeteria-branded restaurants was due, in part, to a favorable calendar shift; the high sales volume period in the days leading up to Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving itself were included in the quarter ended February 12, 2014 whereas only the day of Thanksgiving was included in the quarter ended February 13, 2013. Removing the impact of this favorable calendar shift, Luby’s Cafeteria sales increased 1.2% as guest traffic increased 1.0% and average spend per guest increased 0.2% in the quarter ended February 12, 2014 compared to the quarter ended February 13, 2013. In addition, we estimate that unusual winter weather events reduced same stores sales by approximately 70 basis points at our Luby’s Cafeteria-branded restaurants. The decline in sales at our Fuddruckers restaurants resulted from the same store sales decrease of 2.7% partially offset by the contribution in sales from new Fuddruckers restaurants. There was no calendar shift impact at our Fuddruckers restaurant, but we estimate that unusual winter weather events reduced same-stores sales by 1.5%. The decrease in same store sales at our Fuddruckers-branded restaurants was due to a 3.9% decline in guest traffic partially offset by a 1.3% increase in the per person average spend. The increase in per person average spend at our Fuddruckers restaurants, was a result of altering the mix of menu items offered and selected by our customers and by motivating the purchase of additional items on the customer ticket.

Restaurant sales increased $9.2 million in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014, compared to the quarter ended February 13, 2013. The increase in restaurant sales included, a $2.5 million increase in sales at Luby’s Cafeteria-branded restaurants, a $1.4 million decrease in sales from Fuddruckers-branded restaurant, a $0.2 million decrease in sales at locations where we have introduced a Luby’s Cafeteria and Fuddruckers side-by-side configuration, and an $8.3 million higher sales contribution from our Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants. The $2.5 million increase in sales at our Luby’s Cafeteria-branded restaurants was due primarily to a 1.8% increase in same store sales for the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 compared to the two quarters ended February 13, 2013. The $1.4 million decrease in restaurant sales at our Fuddruckers- branded restaurants was due primarily to a 2.5% decrease in same store sales for the quarters ended February 12, 2014 compared to the quarters ended February 13, 2013, partially offset by the contribution in sales from new Fuddruckers restaurants. The $0.2 million decrease in sales at locations where we have a Luby’s Cafeteria and Fuddruckers side-by-side configuration is primarily due to comparison with the prior year where our first such location experienced a higher than typical sales volume at opening and for a sustained period afterwards, offset by the contribution from our second Luby’s and Fuddruckers side-by-side configured location. The $8.3 million higher sales contribution from our Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants reflects operating this brand for the full 24 weeks in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 compared to operating for only 10 weeks in the two quarters ended February 13, 2013.    

24

Cost of Food

Food costs increased approximately $0.7 million, or 3.0%, in the quarter ended February 12, 2014, compared to the quarter ended February 13, 2013 due primarily to an overall increase in guest traffic. Food commodity prices for our basket of food commodity purchases were higher by approximately 1% at both our core Luby’s Cafeteria-branded restaurants and Fuddruckers-branded restaurants. As a percentage of restaurant sales, food cost increased 0.1% to 29.0% in the quarter ended February 12, 2014, compared to 28.9% in the quarter ended February 13, 2013. Removing the impact of Cheeseburger in Paradise, food costs as a percent of sales were 28.8% in the quarter ended February 12, 2014 and in the quarter ended February 13, 2013.

Food costs increased approximately $3.1 million, or 6.9%, in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014, compared to the two quarters ended February 13, 2013, due primarily to the addition of the Cheeseburger in Paradise-branded stores. Removing the impact of Cheeseburger in Paradise, food costs increased $0.2, million, or 0.5% for the two quarters ended February 12, 2014, compared to the two quarters ended February 13, 2013.  For the two quarters ended February 12, 2014, food commodity prices for our basket of food commodity purchases were higher due to a 2% increase for our Luby’s Cafeteria-branded restaurants and a 3% increase for our Fuddruckers-branded restaurants. As a percentage of restaurant sales, food cost increased 0.2% to 28.8% in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014, compared to 28.6% in the two quarters ended February 13, 2013.

Payroll and Related Costs

Payroll and related costs increased approximately $0.6 million in the quarter ended February 12, 2014 compared to the quarter ended February 13, 2013, primarily due to (1) the addition of new restaurants, including the 23 Cheeseburger in Paradise locations acquired on December 5, 2012; (2) higher variable compensation at our Luby's cafeteria restaurants; (3) higher restaurant management medical benefits expense at each of our restaurant brands; (4) all partially offset by lower workers compensation expense. As a percentage of restaurant sales, payroll and related decreased 0.2%, to 35.4% in the quarter ended February 12, 2014, compared to 35.6% in the quarter ended February 13, 2013 due to the ability to leverage these costs on higher overall sales volumes and lower workers compensation expense.

As a percentage of restaurant sales, other operating expenses increased 1.4%, to 18.6%, in the quarter ended February 12, 2014 compared to 17.2% in the quarter ended February 13, 2013, due to (1) the cost increases enumerated above and (2) the typically higher operating costs for the four to eight weeks after opening a new restaurant.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $0.2 million, or 4.3%, in the quarter ended February 12, 2014, compared to the quarter ended February 13, 2013, due to capital expenditures for new construction and remodel activity partially offset by certain assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $0.4 million, or 4.9% in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014, compared to the two quarters ended February 13, 2013, due to the addition of depreciation related to Cheeseburger in Paradise, and capital expenditures for new construction and remodel activity partially offset by certain assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

General. Our primary sources of short-term and long-term liquidity are cash flows from operations and our revolving credit facility. During the two quarters ended February 12, 2014, cash provided by operating activities was $0.8 million and by financing activities was $17.8 million partially offset by cash used in investing activities of $18.5 million. Cash and cash equivalents increased $0.2 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2014 compared to an increase of $1.7 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013. We plan to continue the level of capital and repair and maintenance expenditures necessary to keep our restaurants attractive and operating efficiently.

Our cash requirements consist principally of:

• capital expenditures for construction, restaurant renovations, purchase of property for development of our restaurant brands and for use as rental property and upgrades and information technology; and

• working capital primarily for our Company-owned restaurants and Culinary Contract Services agreements.

As is common in the restaurant industry, we maintain relatively low levels of accounts receivable and inventories, and our vendors grant trade credit for purchases such as food and supplies. However, higher levels of accounts receivable are typical for culinary contract services and franchises. We also continually invest in our business through the addition of new units and refurbishment of existing units, which are reflected as long-term assets.

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:

	Two Quarters Ended
	February 12, 2014			February 13, 2013
	(24 weeks)			(24 weeks)
	(In thousands)
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	840		$	7,567
Investing activities		(18,492	)		(18,550	)
Financing activities		17,809			12,657
Increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	157		$	1,674

29

Operating Activities. Cash flow from operating activities was $0.8 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2014, a $6.7 million decrease from the first two quarters of fiscal 2013. The $6.7 million decrease in cash is due to a $3.2 million decrease in cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities plus a $3.5 million decrease in cash generated by changes in operating assets and liabilities for the quarter ended February 12, 2014.

Cash generated by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities was $5.0 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2014, a $3.2 million decrease compared to the first two quarters of fiscal 2013. The $3.2 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities was due to less cash generated by segment level profit of $2.6 million for Company-owned restaurants and $0.6 million increase in cash used for opening costs.

Changes in operating assets and liabilities was a $4.2 million use of cash in the first two quarters of fiscal 2014, a $3.5 million decrease compared to the first two quarters of fiscal 2013. The $3.5 million decrease in the source of cash was due to differences in the change in asset and liability balances during the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 and February 13, 2013.  Increases in assets are uses of cash where as decreases in assets are sources of cash. During the two quarters ended February 12, 2014, trade accounts receivable and other receivables decreased $0.5 million compared to a decrease of $0.4 million during the two quarters ended February 13, 2013. Prepaid expenses and other assets which include prepayments for rent, insurance premiums and software maintenance decreased $1.1 million during the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 compared to an increase of less than $0.1 million during the two quarters ended February 13, 2013. Food and supplies inventories increased $0.3 million and $0.9 million in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 and February 13, 2013, respectively.

Increases in current liability accounts are a source of cash, while decreases in current liability accounts are a use of cash. During the two quarters ended February 12, 2014, changes in the balances of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities was a $5.5 million use of cash, compared to a use of cash of $0.6 million during the two quarters ended February 13, 2013.

Investing Activities. We generally reinvest available cash flows from operations to develop new restaurants, enhance existing restaurants and to support culinary contract services. Cash used by investing activities was $18.5 million in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 and $18.6 million in the two quarters ended February 13, 2013. Capital expenditures were $19.1 million in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014, a $7.6 million increase compared to the two quarters ended February 13, 2013. Proceeds from the disposal of assets were $0.6 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2014 and $3.6 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013. Investing activities in the two quarters of fiscal year 2013 included the acquisition of Cheeseburger in Paradise for $10.7 million. There were no acquisitions in fiscal 2014.

Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $17.8 million in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014, a $5.2 million increase compared to the two quarters ended February 13, 2013. Cash flows from financing activities was primarily the result of borrowings and repayments related to our revolving credit facility. During the two quarters ended February 12, 2014, borrowings exceeded repayments by $17.8 million. During the two quarters ended February 13, 2013, repayments of the credit facility exceeded borrowings by $12.5 million.

Status of Long-Term Investments and Liquidity

At February 12, 2014, we did not hold any long-term investments.

Status of Trade Accounts and Other Receivables, Net

We monitor the aging of our receivables, including Fuddruckers franchising related receivables, and record provisions for uncollectable accounts, as appropriate. Credit terms of accounts receivable associated with our Culinary Contract Services business vary from 30 to 45 days based on contract terms.

Working Capital

Current assets decreased $0.8 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2014 compared to an increase of $2.9 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013. In the first two quarters of fiscal 2014, cash increased $0.2 million and food and supply inventory increased $0.3 million; offset by decreases in trade accounts and other receivables of $0.5 million and prepaid expenses of $0.8 million. In the first two quarters of fiscal 2013, cash increased $1.7 million, food inventories increased $0.9 million and prepaid expenses increased $0.5 million while trade accounts and other receivable decreased $0.3 million. The change in prepaid expenses and other assets was a $1.1 million source of cash in the first two quarters of fiscal 2014, an increase of $1.2 million from the first two quarters of fiscal 2013. The change in trade accounts and other receivables was a $0.5 million source of cash in the first two quarters of fiscal 2014, an increase of $0.1 million from the first two quarters of fiscal 2013. The change in food and supplies inventory was a $0.3 million use of cash in the first two quarters of fiscal 2014, a decrease of $0.1 million from the first two quarters of fiscal 2013.

30

Current liabilities decreased $5.4 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2014 compared to a $0.4 million increase in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013. In the first two quarters of fiscal 2014, accounts payables decreased $4.1 million and accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased $1.2 million. In the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 accounts payables increased $1.5 million and accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased $1.1 million. The change in accounts payables, accrued expenses and other liabilities was a $5.5 million source of cash in the first two quarters of fiscal 2014, an increase of $4.9 million from the first two quarters of fiscal 2013. The $4.9 million difference in the two quarters was primarily due to timing differences in the accrual and payment of salary related costs, accrued claims and insurance and taxes other than income taxes.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures consist of purchases of real estate for future restaurant sites, culinary contract services investments, new unit construction, purchases of new and replacement restaurant furniture and equipment, and ongoing remodeling programs. Capital expenditures for the first two quarters of fiscal 2014 were approximately $19.1 million and related to new restaurant construction, existing unit remodels, purchase of land for new development, technology infrastructure, recurring maintenance of our existing units, improvement of our culinary contract services business and the development of future restaurant sites. We expect to be able to fund all capital expenditures in fiscal 2014 using proceeds from the sale of assets, cash flows from operations and our available credit. We expect to spend approximately $35 million to $40 million on capital expenditures in fiscal 2014. 

DEBT

Revolving Credit Facility

In August 2013, we entered into a revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, and Amegy Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent. The following description summarizes the material terms of the revolving credit facility, as subsequently amended as of March 21, 2014 (the revolving credit facility is referred to as the “2013 Credit Facility”). The 2013 Credit Facility is governed by the credit agreement dated as of August 14, 2013 (the “2013 Credit Agreement”) among us, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, and Amegy Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent. The 2013 Credit Agreement amends and restates the 2009 Credit Agreement in its entirety. The maturity date of the 2013 Credit Facility is September 1, 2017.

The aggregate amount of the lenders’ commitments under the 2013 Credit Facility was $70.0 million as of November 20, 2013. The 2013 Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in a maximum aggregate amount of $5.0 million outstanding as of August 14, 2013 and $15.0 million outstanding at any one time with prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank. At February 12, 2014, under the 2013 Credit Facility, after applying the Lease Adjusted Leverage Ratio limitation (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement), the available borrowing capacity was $65.2 million.

The 2013 Credit Facility is guaranteed by all of our present subsidiaries and will be guaranteed by our future subsidiaries. In addition to the bank’s increased commitment under the 2013 Credit Agreement, it may be increased to a maximum commitment of $90 million.

At any time throughout the term of the 2013 Credit Facility, we have the option to elect one of two bases of interest rates. One interest rate option is the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, or (b) prime, plus, in either case, an applicable spread that ranges from 0.75% to 1.75% per annum. The other interest rate option is the London InterBank Offered Rate plus a spread that ranges from 2.50% to 3.50% per annum. The applicable spread under each option is dependent upon the ratio of our debt to EBITDA at the most recent determination date.

We are obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each lender a quarterly commitment fee based on the average daily unused amount of the commitment of such lender, ranging from 0.30% to 0.40% per annum depending on the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement) at the most recent determination date.

The proceeds of the 2013 Credit Facility are available for our general corporate purposes and general working capital purposes and capital expenditures.

Borrowings under the 2013 Credit Facility are subject to mandatory repayment with the proceeds of sales of certain of our real property, subject to certain exceptions.

31

The 2013 Credit Facility is secured by a perfected first priority lien on certain of our real property and all of the material personal property owned by us or any of our subsidiaries, other than certain excluded assets (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement). At February 12, 2014, the carrying value of the collateral securing the 2013 Credit Facility was $85.6 million.

The 2013 Credit Agreement contains the following covenants among others:

● maintenance of a ratio of (a) EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter to (b) the sum of (x) interest expense (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement) for such four fiscal-quarter-period plus (y) the outstanding principal balance of the loans as of the last day of such fiscal quarter divided by seven (the “Debt Service Coverage Ratio), of not less than 2.50 to 1.00 at all times,

● maintenance of minimum net profit of $1.00 (1) for at least one of any two consecutive fiscal quarters, and (2) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters,

● maintenance of a ratio of (a) the sum of (x) indebtedness as of the last day of any fiscal quarter plus (y) eight times rental expense for the four fiscal quarters ending on the last day of any fiscal quarter to (b) the sum of (x) EBITDA for such four fiscal-quarter-period plus (y) rental expense for such four fiscal-quarter-period (the “Lease Adjusted Leverage Ratio”) of no more than (i) 4.75 to 1.00 at all times during the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters of fiscal year 2014, (ii) 4.5 to 1.00 at all times during the first, second and third quarters of fiscal year 2015, and (iii) 4.25 to 1.00 at all times thereafter,

● restrictions on incurring indebtedness, including certain guarantees and capital lease obligations,

● restrictions on incurring liens on certain of our property and the property of our subsidiaries,

● restrictions on transactions with affiliates and materially changing our business,

● restrictions on making certain investments, loans, advances and guarantees,

● restrictions on selling assets outside the ordinary course of business,

● prohibitions on entering into sale and leaseback transactions, and

● restrictions on certain acquisitions of all or a substantial portion of the assets, property and/or equity interests of any person.

We were in compliance with the covenants contained in the 2013 Credit Agreement, as amended, as of February 12, 2014. As the result of losses incurred from our recently acquired leaseholds operating as Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants, we reported our second consecutive quarterly net profit below our required minimum net profit as defined in the credit agreement. As part of the March 21, 2014 amendment we received a waiver of non-compliance related to this minimum consecutive quarterly net profit debt covenant for the second quarter fiscal 2014. Although we expect to meet the requirements of the Net Profit – Two Consecutive Quarters covenant in the future, non-compliance could have had a material adverse affect on our financial condition and would have represented an event of default under the 2013 Credit Agreement.

The 2013 Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default. If a default occurs and is continuing, the lenders’ commitments under the 2013 Credit Facility may be immediately terminated and/or we may be required to repay all amounts outstanding under the 2013 Credit Facility.

As of February 12, 2014, we had $37.0 million in outstanding loans and $1.1 million committed under letters of credit, which were issued as security for the payment of insurance obligations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item1 of Part 1 of this report were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preparation of the financial statements requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Due to the significant, subjective and complex judgments and estimates used when preparing our consolidated financial statements, management regularly reviews these assumptions and estimates with the Finance and Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Management believes the following are critical accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements.

32

Income Taxes

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry backs and carry forward,s are recorded. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities (temporary differences) and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We periodically review the recoverability of tax assets recorded on the balance sheet and provide valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

If the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of our assets and liabilities result in a net deferred tax asset, management will evaluate the probability of our ability to realize the future benefits of such asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The realization of such net deferred tax will generally depend on whether we will have sufficient taxable income of an appropriate character within the carry forward period permitted by the tax law.

Management evaluates both positive and negative evidence, including its forecasts of our future taxable income adjusted by varying probability factors, in making a determination as to whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will be realized. Based on its analysis, management concluded that a valuation allowance was not necessary.

Management makes judgments regarding the interpretation of tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to audit in these jurisdictions as well as by the Internal Revenue Service. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all open tax years. The potential outcomes of examinations are regularly assessed in determining the adequacy of the provision for income taxes and income tax liabilities. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made for reasonable and foreseeable outcomes related to uncertain tax matters. The Company is currently being audited by the State of Louisiana for income taxes and franchise taxes for report years 2008 through 2011 based on accounting years 2007 through 2010. There are no other income tax audits or reviews at this time. 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We periodically evaluate long-lived assets held for use and held for sale whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable.

We analyze historical cash flows of operating locations and compare results of poorer performing locations to more profitable locations. We also analyze lease terms, condition of the assets and related need for capital expenditures or repairs, construction activity in the surrounding area as well as the economic and market conditions in the surrounding area.

For assets held for use, we estimate future cash flows using assumptions based on possible outcomes of the areas analyzed. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of our location’s assets, we record an impairment based on an estimate of discounted cash flows. The estimates of future cash flows, based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, require management’s subjective judgments. Assumptions and estimates used include operating results, changes in working capital, discount rate, growth rate, anticipated net proceeds from disposition of the property and if applicable, lease terms. The span of time for which future cash flows are estimated is often lengthy, increasing the sensitivity to assumptions made. The time span is longer and could be 20 to 25 years for newer properties, but only 5 to 10 years for older properties. Depending on the assumptions and estimates used, the estimated future cash flows projected in the evaluation of long-lived assets can vary within a wide range of outcomes. We consider the likelihood of possible outcomes in determining the best estimate of future cash flows.

The measurement for such an impairment loss is then based on the fair value of the asset as determined by discounted cash flows. We operated 181 restaurants as of February 12, 2014 and periodically experience unanticipated changes in our assumptions and estimates. Those changes could have a significant impact on discounted cash flow models with a corresponding significant impact on the measurement of an impairment loss.

We believe we have 4 locations, with an aggregate net carrying value of assets held for use of $2.3 million, with respect to which it is possible that an impairment charge could be taken over the next 12 months.

33

We also evaluate the useful lives of our intangible assets, primarily the Fuddruckers trade name and franchise agreements and Cheeseburger in Paradise trade name and license agreement, to determine if they are definite or indefinite-lived. Reaching a determination of useful life requires significant judgments and assumptions regarding the future effects of obsolescence, contract term, demand, competition, other economic factors (such as the stability of the industry, legislative action that results in an uncertain or changing regulatory environment, and expected changes in distribution channels), the level of required maintenance expenditures, and the expected lives of other related groups of assets.

Property Held for Sale

We periodically review long-lived assets against our plans to retain or ultimately dispose of properties. If we decide to dispose of a property, it will be moved to property held for sale and actively marketed. Property held for sale is recorded at amounts not in excess of what management currently expects to receive upon sale, less costs of disposal. We analyze market conditions each reporting period and record additional impairments due to declines in market values of like assets. The fair value of the property is determined by observable inputs such as appraisals and prices of comparable properties in active markets for assets like ours. Gains are not recognized until the properties are sold.

Insurance and Claims

We self-insure a significant portion of risks and associated liabilities under our employee injury, workers’ compensation and general liability programs. We maintain insurance coverage with third party carriers to limit our per-occurrence claim exposure. We have recorded accrued liabilities for self-insurance based upon analysis of historical data and actuarial estimates, and we review these amounts on a quarterly basis to ensure that the liability is appropriate.

The significant assumptions made by the actuary to estimate self-insurance reserves, including incurred but not reported claims, are as follows: (1) historical patterns of loss development will continue in the future as they have in the past (Loss Development Method), (2) historical trend patterns and loss cost levels will continue in the future as they have in the past (Bornhuetter-Ferguson Method), and (3) historical claim counts and exposures are used to calculate historical frequency rates and average claim costs are analyzed to get a projected severity (Frequency and Severity Method). The results of these methods are blended by the actuary to provide the reserves estimates.

Actual workers’ compensation and employee injury claims expense may differ from estimated loss provisions. The ultimate level of claims under the in-house safety program are not known, and declines in incidence of claims as well as claims costs experiences or reductions in reserve requirements under the program may not continue in future periods.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation is recognized as compensation expense in the income statement utilizing the fair value on the date of the grant. The fair value of restricted stock units is valued at the closing market price of our common stock at the date of grant. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions for volatility, expected option life, risk free interest rate and dividend yield are used in the model.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405), which provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date. Examples of obligations within this guidance are debt arrangements, other contractual obligations and settled litigation and judicial rulings. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-007, Liquidation Basis of Accounting (Topic 205), which requires a company to prepare its financial statements using liquidation basis of accounting (LBA) when liquidation is imminent. The pronouncement is effective for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which provides that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion thereof, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carry forward, except to the extent that a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carry forward is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from disallowance or a tax provision or the tax law does not require the entity to use and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purposes, then the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

INFLATION

It is generally our policy is to maintain stable menu prices without regard to seasonal variations in food costs. Certain increases in costs of food, wages, supplies, transportation and services may require us to increase our menu prices from time to time. To the extent prevailing market conditions allow, we intend to adjust menu prices to maintain profit margins.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of these provisions, including any statements regarding:

• future operating results,

• future capital expenditures and expected sources of funds for capital expenditures,

• future debt, including liquidity and the sources and availability of funds related to debt, and expected repayment of debt, as well as our ability to refinance the existing credit facility or enter into a new credit facility on a timely basis,

• expected sources of funds for working capital requirements,

• plans for our new prototype restaurants,

• plans for expansion of our business,

• scheduled openings of new units,

• closing existing units,

• effectiveness of management’s Cash Flow Improvement and Capital Redeployment Plan,

• future sales of assets and the gains or losses that may be recognized as a result of any such sales, and

• continued compliance with the terms of our 2013 Credit Facility.

In some cases, investors can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “outlook,” “may” “should,” “will,” and “would” or similar words. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by management in light of their experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are relevant. Although management believes that our assumptions are reasonable based on information currently available, those assumptions are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. The following factors, as well as the factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 28, 2013 and any other cautionary language in this Form 10-Q, provide examples of risks, uncertainties, and events that may cause our financial and operational results to differ materially from the expectations described in our forward-looking statements:

• general business and economic conditions,

• the impact of competition,

35

• our operating initiatives, changes in promotional, couponing and advertising strategies and the success of management’s business plans,

• fluctuations in the costs of commodities, including beef, poultry, seafood, dairy, cheese, oils and produce,

• ability to raise menu prices and customer acceptance of changes in menu items,

• increases in utility costs, including the costs of natural gas and other energy supplies,

• changes in the availability and cost of labor, including the ability to attract qualified managers and team members,

• the seasonality of the business,

• collectability of accounts receivable,

• changes in governmental regulations, including changes in minimum wages and health care benefit regulation,

• the effects of inflation and changes in our customers’ disposable income, spending trends and habits,

• the ability to realize property values,

• the availability and cost of credit,

• the ability to effectively integrate and improve the profitability of the acquired Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants,

• the effectiveness of our credit card controls and PCI compliance,

• weather conditions in the regions in which our restaurants operate,

• costs relating to legal proceedings,

• impact of adoption of new accounting standards,

• effects of actual or threatened future terrorist attacks in the United States,

• unfavorable publicity relating to operations, including publicity concerning food quality, illness or other health concerns or labor relations, and

• the continued service of key management personnel.

Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Investors should be aware that the occurrence of the events described above and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q could have material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates affecting our variable-rate debt. As of February 12, 2014, the total amount of debt subject to interest rate fluctuations outstanding under our 2013 Credit Facility was $37.0 million. Assuming an average debt balance of $37.0 million, a 1.0% increase in prevailing interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by $0.4 million.

Although we are not currently using interest rate swaps, we have previously used, and may in the future use, these instruments to manage cash flow risk on a portion of our variable-rate debt.

Many ingredients in the products sold in our restaurants are commodities, subject to unpredictable price fluctuations. We attempt to minimize price volatility by negotiating fixed price contracts for the supply of key ingredients and in some cases by passing increased commodity costs through to the customer by adjusting menu prices or menu offerings. Our ingredients are available from multiple suppliers so we are not dependent on a single vendor for our ingredients.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of February 12, 2014. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of February 12, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 12, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting except as noted below. 

As discussed in footnote 1 to the financial statements, we identified accounting errors in prepaid assets and payroll related liabilities. The Company did not record amortization of the related expenses in the appropriate prior periods. The errors impacted all prior reporting periods beginning in 2007. These errors were not material to any previously issued annual or quarterly consolidated financial statements.  As the Company’s operations have grown in scope, management has increased the level of detail and monitoring required in the performance of its routine balance sheet account reconciliations. The improved controls have been implemented as part of our internal controls over financial reporting and will continue to be performed on an ongoing basis.

Note 3. Acquisition

The Company through its newly created subsidiary, Paradise Cheeseburgers, LLC, purchased 100% of the membership units of Paradise Restaurant Group, LLC and affiliated companies which operate Cheeseburger in Paradise brand restaurants (collectively, “Cheeseburger in Paradise”) on December 6, 2012 for $10.2 million in cash. The Company assumed $2.4 million of Cheeseburger in Paradise obligations, real estate leases and contracts. The Company funded the purchase with existing cash reserves and borrowings from its credit facility.

The Company has accounted for the acquisition of Cheeseburger in Paradise using the acquisition method, and accordingly, the results of operations related to this acquisition have been included in the consolidated results of the Company since the acquisition date. The Company incurred $0.4 million in acquisition costs, which were expensed as incurred and classified as general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

The allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on respective fair values. The purchase price for the Company’s acquisition of Cheeseburger in Paradise and the assumption of liabilities is based on estimates of fair values at the acquisition date.

Such valuations require significant estimates and assumptions. The Company believes the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable assumptions.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, in thousands, at the date of acquisition:

Cash and cash equivalents	$	58
Accounts receivable		93
Inventories		561
Other current assets		376
Property and equipment		6,374
Liquor licenses and permits		188
Favorable leases		2,646
License agreement and trade name		254
Goodwill		1,975
Accrued liabilities		(2,356	)
Net acquisition cost	$	10,169

The license agreement and trade name relates to a perpetual license to use intangible assets including trademarks, service marks and publicity rights related to Cheeseburger in Paradise owned by Jimmy Buffett and affiliated entities. In return, the Company will pay a royalty fee of 2.5% of gross sales less discounts at acquired Cheeseburger in Paradise locations to an entity owned or controlled by Jimmy Buffett. The trade name represents a respected brand with positive customer loyalty, and the Company intends to cultivate and protect the use of the trade name.

The Company will amortize the fair value allocated to the license agreement and trade name over an expected accounting life of 15 years based on the expected use of its assets and the restaurant environment in which it is being used. The Company recorded approximately $4 thousand of amortization expense for the quarter ended February 12, 2014, which is classified as depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Because the value of these assets will be amortized using the straight-line method over 15 years, the annual amortization will be $17 thousand in future years.

A portion of the acquired lease portfolio contained favorable leases. Acquired lease terms were compared to current market lease terms to determine if the acquired leases were below or above the current rates tenants would pay for similar leases. The favorable lease assets totaled $2.6 million and are recorded in other assets. There were determined to be no unfavorable leases. The favorable leases are amortized to rent expense on a straight line basis over the lives of the related leases. The Company recorded $30 thousand of amortization expense for the quarter ended February 12, 2014, which is classified as additional rent expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The following table shows the prospective amortization of the favorable lease asset:

	Fiscal Year Ended
	August 27, 2014		August 26, 2015		August 31, 2016		August 30, 2017		August 29, 2018
	(In thousands)
Favorable	$	126	$	121	$	121	$	121	$	121

Annual depreciation expense will be approximately $0.5 million of the $6.4 million of property and equipment.

The Company also recorded an intangible asset for goodwill in the amount of $2.0 million. Goodwill is considered to have an indefinite useful life and is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually. The total amount of goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Luby’s, Inc. (the “Company” or “Luby’s”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements that are prepared for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended February 12, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending August 27, 2014.

The consolidated balance sheet dated August 28, 2013, included in this Form 10-Q, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. However, this Form 10-Q does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for an annual filing of complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 28, 2013.

The results of operations, assets and liabilities for all units included in the Company’s disposal plans discussed in Note 8 have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the statements of operations and balance sheets for all periods presented. All prior period corrections, discussed below, have been reflected in the statements of operations, statement of shareholders equity, statements of cash flows and balance sheets.

Correction of Immaterial Errors in Previously Issued Financial Statements

In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we identified accounting errors in prepaid assets and payroll related liabilities. The Company did not expense amounts related to these accounts properly in the appropriate prior periods. The errors impacted all prior reporting periods beginning in 2007. While these errors were not material to any previously issued annual or quarterly consolidated financial statements, management concluded that correcting the cumulative errors and related tax effects would be material to consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended February 12, 2014 and to the expected results of operations for the fiscal year ending August 27, 2014. Management evaluated the cumulative impact of the errors on prior periods under the guidance in ASC 25010 relating to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic1.M, Assessing Materiality. The Company also evaluated the impact of correcting the errors through an adjustment to its financial statements and concluded, based on the guidance within ASC 250-10 relating to SAB Topic 1.N, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, to revise its previously issued financial statements to reflect the impact of the correction of these errors when it files subsequent reports on Form 10Q and Form 10K. Accordingly, the Company has revised its consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended February 12, 2014, to correct these errors. Revisions to periods not presented will be reflected accordingly as they are included in future filings. The prior period error corrections did not change the net cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities previously reported. The cumulative effect on retained earnings as of August 28, 2013, was a reduction of $386,000, as reflected in the Statement of Shareholders Equity as of February 12, 2014.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]

Note 11. Share-Based Compensation

We have two active share based stock plans, the Employee Stock Plan and the Nonemployee Director Stock Plan. Both plans authorize the granting of stock options, restricted stock and other types of awards consistent with the purpose of the plans.

Of the 1.1 million shares approved for issuance under the Nonemployee Director Stock Plan, 0.7 million options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards were granted, and 0.1 million options were cancelled or expired and added back into the plan. Approximately 0.5 million shares remain available for future issuance as of February 12, 2014. Compensation cost for share-based payment arrangements under the Nonemployee Director Stock Plan, recognized in general and administrative expenses for the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 and February 13, 2013 were approximately $273,000 and $57,000, respectively.

Of the 2.6 million shares approved for issuance under the Employee Stock Plan, 4.6 million options and restricted stock units were granted, and 3.0 million options and restricted stock units were cancelled or expired and added back into the plan. Approximately 1.0 million shares remain available for future issuance as of February 12, 2014. Compensation cost for share-based payment arrangements under the Employee Stock Plan, recognized in general and administrative expenses for the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 and February 13, 2013, were approximately $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Stock Options

Stock options granted under either the Employee Stock Plan or the Nonemployee Director Stock Plan have exercise prices equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant.

Option awards under the Nonemployee Director Stock Plan generally vest 100% on the first anniversary of the grant date and expire ten years from the grant date. No options were granted under the Nonemployee Director Stock Plan in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014. However, options to purchase 22,000 shares at option prices from $4.47 to $6.45 per share remain outstanding as of February 12, 2014.

Options granted under the Employee Stock Plan generally vest 25% on the anniversary date of each grant and expire six years from the date of the grant. However, options granted to executive officers under the Employee Stock Plan vest 50% on the first anniversary date of the grant date, 25% on the second anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 25% vest on the third anniversary of the grant date and expire ten years from the grant date. No options were granted under the Employee Stock Plan in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014. Options to purchase 812,443 shares at option prices of $3.44 to $11.10 per share remain outstanding as of February 12, 2014.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the quarter ended February 12, 2014 is presented in the following table:

	Shares Under Fixed Options			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
						(Years)		(In thousands)
Outstanding at August 28, 2013		882,768		$	5.23		4.7	$	2,042
Granted		—			—		—		—

Outstanding at February 12, 2014		834,443		$	4.92		4.5	$	1,168
Exercisable at February 12, 2014		694,456		$	4.80		4.1	$	1,074

The intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market value, or closing price on February 12, 2014, and the grant price on the measurement dates in the table above.

Restricted Stock Units

Grants of restricted stock units consist of the Company’s common stock and generally vest after three years. All restricted stock units are cliff-vested. Restricted stock units are valued at the closing market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant.

A summary of the Company’s restricted stock unit activity during the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 is presented in the following table:

	Restricted Stock Units			Weighted Average Fair Value		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term
				(Per share)		(In years)
Unvested at August 28, 2013		424,236		$	5.74		2.1
Granted		63,238			7.09		—
Vested		(75,180	)		5.39		—
Forfeited		(4,702	)		5.79		—
Unvested at February 12, 2014		407,592		$	6.02		2.1

At February 12, 2014, there was approximately $1.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Restricted Stock Awards

Under the Nonemployee Director Stock Plan, directors are granted restricted stock in lieu of cash payments, for all or a portion of their compensation as directors. The number of shares granted is valued at the closing market price of the Company’s stock at the date of the grant. Restricted stock awards vest when granted because they are granted in lieu of a cash payment. However, directors are restricted from selling their shares until after the third anniversary of the date of the grant. Directors may receive a 20% premium of additional restricted stock by opting to receive stock in lieu of cash.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

Note 12. Earnings Per Share

 Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and unvested restricted stock for the reporting period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. For the calculation of diluted net income per share, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options determined using the treasury stock method. Stock options excluded from the computation of net income per share for the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 include approximately 37,000 shares with exercise prices exceeding market prices and approximately 250,000 shares whose inclusion would also be anti-dilutive.

The components of basic and diluted net income per share are as follows:

Note 6. Income Taxes

No cash payments of estimated federal income taxes were made during the quarter ended February 12, 2014. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using currently enacted rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent future taxable income is expected to be sufficient to utilize those assets prior to their expiration.

Management believes that adequate provisions for income taxes have been reflected in the financial statements and is not aware of any significant exposure items that have not been reflected in the financial statements. Amounts considered probable of settlement within one year have been included in the accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements

GAAP establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Fair value measurements guidance applies whenever other statements require or permit asset or liabilities to be measured at fair value.

GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include:

= Level 1: Defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

= Level 2: Defined as pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures.

= Level 3: Defined as pricing inputs that are unobservable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

Non-recurring fair value measurements related to impaired property and equipment consisted of the following:

			Fair Value Measurement Using

Pending Claims

From time to time, the Company is subject to various private lawsuits, administrative proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. A number of these lawsuits, proceedings and claims may exist at any given time. These matters typically involve claims from guests, employees and others related to issues common to the restaurant industry. The Company currently believes that the final disposition of these types of lawsuits, proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. It is possible, however, that the Company’s future results of operations for a particular fiscal quarter or fiscal year could be impacted by changes in circumstances relating to lawsuits, proceedings or claims.

Construction Activity

From time to time, the Company enters into non-cancelable contracts for the construction of its new restaurants. This construction activity exposes the Company to the risks inherent in new construction, including but not limited to rising material prices, labor shortages, delays in getting required permits and inspections, adverse weather conditions, and injuries sustained by workers. The Company had no non-cancelable contracts as of February 12. 2014.

Intangible assets, net	$	24,810		$	25,517			15	to	21
Goodwill	$	1,755		$	2,169

Intangible assets, net consist of the Fuddruckers trade name and franchise agreements and will be amortized. The Company believes the Fuddruckers trade name has an expected accounting life of 21 years from the date of acquisition based on the expected use of its assets and the restaurant environment in which it is being used. The trade name represents a respected brand with customer loyalty and the Company intends to cultivate and protect the use of the trade name. The franchise agreements, after considering renewal periods, have an estimated accounting life of 21 years from the date of acquisition and will be amortized over this period of time. The Company recorded $5.0 million of accumulated amortization as of February 12, 2014 and $4.5 million of accumulated amortization as of August 28, 2013.

Intangible assets, net also includes the license agreement and trade name related to Cheeseburger in Paradise and the value of the acquired licenses and permits allowing the sale of beverages with alcohol. These assets have an expected accounting life of 15 years from the date of acquisition December 6, 2012. The Company recorded accumulated amortization of $25 thousand as of February 12, 2014 and approximately $12 thousand of accumulated amortization as of August 28, 2013.

The Company recorded an intangible asset for goodwill in the amount of $0.2 million related to the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Fuddruckers. The Company also recorded an intangible asset for goodwill in the amount of $2.0 million related to the acquisition of the membership units of Paradise Restaurant Group, LLC. Goodwill is considered to have an indefinite useful life and is not amortized. Goodwill was $1.8 million as of February 12, 2014 and $2.2 million as of August 28, 2013 and relates to our Company-owned restaurants reportable segment.

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States require the Company to perform a goodwill impairment test annually and more frequently when negative conditions or a triggering event arise. In September 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance that simplified how entities test goodwill for impairment. After an assessment of certain qualitative factors, if it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, entities must perform the quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative test(s) become optional. For the annual analysis in fiscal year 2014, the Company has elected to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test. In future periods, the Company may determine that facts and circumstances indicate use of the qualitative assessment may be the most reasonable approach; however, management has determined that goodwill resulting from the Cheeseburger in Paradise acquisition will be evaluated using the quantitative approach for fiscal 2014. Management will be performing it’s formal annual assessment as of the second quarter each fiscal year, and will formally perform on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances exist that indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The company considers each of its restaurants to be a reporting unit. Management has therefore performed valuations using a discounted cash flow analysis for each of its restaurants to determine the fair value of each reporting unit for comparison with the reporting unit’s carrying value.

Management determined that $0.4 million in impairment losses related to goodwill which was recognized in full in the second quarter ended February 12, 2014.

Note 8. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Discontinued Operations and Property Held for Sale

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Store Closings

The Company periodically evaluates long-lived assets held for use and held for sale whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. The Company analyzes historical cash flows of operating locations and compares results of poorer performing locations to more profitable locations. The Company also analyzes lease terms, condition of the assets and related need for capital expenditures or repairs, as well as construction activity and the economic and market conditions in the surrounding area.

For assets held for use, the Company estimates future cash flows using assumptions based on possible outcomes of the areas analyzed. If the undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the location’s assets, the Company records an impairment loss based on an estimate of discounted cash flows. The estimates of future cash flows, based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, require management’s subjective judgments. Assumptions and estimates used include operating results, changes in working capital, discount rate, growth rate, anticipated net proceeds from disposition of the property and if applicable, lease terms. The span of time for which future cash flows are estimated is often lengthy, increasing the sensitivity to assumptions made. The time span could be 20 to 25 years for newer properties, but only 5 to 10 years for older properties. Depending on the assumptions and estimates used, the estimated future cash flows projected in the evaluation of long-lived assets can vary within a wide range of outcomes. The Company considers the likelihood of possible outcomes in determining the best estimate of future cash flows. The measurement for such an impairment loss is then based on the fair value of the asset as determined by discounted cash flows.

The Company recognized the following impairment charges to income from operations:

	Two Quarters Ended
	February 12, 2014			February 13, 2013
	(24 weeks)			(24 weeks)
	(In thousands, except per share data)

Effect on EPS:
Basic	$	(0.06	)	$	0.05
Assuming dilution	$	(0.06	)	$	0.05

The impairment charge for the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 is related to assets at one Fuddruckers location and assets and allocated goodwill at seven Cheeseburger in Paradise locations.

The impairment charge for the two quarters ended February 13, 2013 is related to an operating Fuddruckers restaurant at a leased location.

The net gain for the two quarters ended February 13, 2013 includes the gain on disposal of assets at a Koo Koo Roo leased location and proceeds from the eminent domain disposition of part of a parking lot at a Luby’s cafeteria location net of asset retirements.

Discontinued Operations

As a result of the first quarter fiscal 2010 adoption of the Company’s Cash Flow Improvement and Capital Redeployment Plan (“the Plan”), the Company reclassified 23 operating stores and one previously closed location to discontinued operations. The results of operations, assets and liabilities for all units included in the Plan have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the statement of operations and balance sheets for all periods presented.  

On March 21, 2014, the Company adopted a disposal plan for selected under-performing recently acquired leaseholds operating as Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants, see Note 3 regarding the purchase of Cheeseburger in Paradise. As of February 12, 2014, two Cheeseburger in Paradise locations have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the statement of operations and balance sheet accordingly.

The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities for all discontinued operations:

As of August 28, 2013, the Company had six restaurant properties classified as discontinued operations assets. The carrying value of four owned properties was $3.8 million at August 28, 2013. The carrying values of two ground leases were previously impaired to zero.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, construction began at one of the ground lease locations. Consequently, the property was reclassified as a continuing operations asset. Also during the second quarter of fiscal 2014, two Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants at in-line leased locations were closed and reclassified as part of discontinued operations.

As of February 12, 2014, the Company had seven restaurant properties classified as discontinued operations. The carrying value of four owned properties was $3.7 million at February 12, 2014. The carrying value of the one ground lease and two in-line leases were previously impaired to zero.

The Company is actively marketing all of these properties for lease or sale and the Company’s results of discontinued operations will be affected by the disposal of properties related to discontinued operations to the extent proceeds from the sales exceed or are less than net book value.

The following table sets forth the sales and pretax income (losses) reported for discontinued operations:

	Two Quarters Ended

Within discontinued operations, the Company offsets gains from applicable property disposals against total impairments. The amounts in the table described as “Other” include employment termination and shut-down costs, as well as operating losses through each restaurant’s closing date and carrying costs until the locations are finally disposed of.

The impairment charges included above relate to properties closed and designated for immediate disposal. The assets of these individual operating units have been written down to their net realizable values. In turn, the related properties have either been sold or are being actively marketed for sale. All dispositions are expected to be completed within one to three years. Within discontinued operations, the Company also recorded the related fiscal year-to-date net operating results, employee terminations and carrying costs of the closed units.

Property Held for Sale

The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets against its plans to retain or ultimately dispose of properties. If the Company decides to dispose of a property, it will be moved to property held for sale and actively marketed. The Company analyzes market conditions each reporting period and records additional impairments due to declines in market values of like assets. The fair value of the property is determined by observable inputs such as appraisals and prices of comparable properties in active markets for assets like the Company’s. Gains are not recognized until the properties are sold.

Property held for sale includes unimproved land, closed restaurant properties and related equipment for locations not classified as discontinued operations. The specific assets are valued at the lower of net depreciable value or net realizable value.

At August 28, 2013, the Company had one owned property recorded at approximately $0.6 million in property held for sale. The Company sold this property during the quarter ended November 20, 2013.

Affiliate Services

Christopher J. Pappas, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Harris J. Pappas, director and former Chief Operating Officer of the Company, own two restaurant entities (the “Pappas entities”) that from time to time may provide services to the Company and its subsidiaries, as detailed in the Amended and Restated Master Sales Agreement effective November 8, 2013 among the Company and the Pappas entities.

Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Master Sales Agreement, the Pappas entities may provide specialized (customized) equipment fabrication and basic equipment maintenance, including stainless steel stoves, shelving, rolling carts, and chef tables. The total costs under the Amended and Restated Master Sales Agreement of custom-fabricated and refurbished equipment in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 and February 13, 2013 were zero and zero, respectively. Services provided under this agreement are subject to review and approval by the Finance and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).

Operating Leases

In the third quarter fiscal 2004, Messrs. Pappas became partners in a limited partnership which purchased a retail strip center in Houston, Texas. Messrs. Pappas collectively own a 50% limited partnership interest and a 50% general partnership interest in the limited partnership. A third-party company manages the center. One of the Company’s restaurants has rented and occupied space in that center since July 1969.

On November 22, 2006, the Company executed a new lease agreement in connection with the replacement and relocation of the existing restaurant with a new prototype restaurant in the retail strip center described above. The new restaurant opened in July 2008 and the new lease agreement provides for a primary term of approximately twelve years with two subsequent five-year options. The new lease also gives the landlord an option to buy out the agreement on or after the calendar year 2015 by paying the unamortized cost of the Company’s improvements. The Company is currently obligated to pay rent of $22.00 per square foot ($22.00 per square foot beginning January 2014) plus maintenance, taxes, and insurance during the primary term of the lease. Thereafter, the lease provides for increases in rent at set intervals. The new lease agreement was approved by both the Finance and Audit Committee of the Board and full Board. The Company made payments of $163 thousand and $144 thousand in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 and February 13, 2013, respectively.

On November14, 2012, the Company executed an additional lease agreement in connection with a proposed future restaurant concept in the retail strip center described above. This lease agreement provides for a primary term of approximately eight years with no renewal options. This lease agreement was approved by the Finance and Audit Committee of the Board. The Company made payments of $8,300 in the two quarters ended February 12, 2014. Affiliated rents paid for this restaurant property lease represented 2.1% and 2.2% of total rents for continuing operations for the two quarters ended February 12, 2014 and February 13, 2013, respectively. The Company terminated the lease on October 31, 2013.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

Note 4. Reportable Segments

The Company has three reportable segments: Company-owned restaurants, franchise operations and Culinary Contract Services (“CCS”).

Company-owned restaurants

Company-owned restaurants consists of several brands which are aggregated into one reportable segment because the nature of the products and services, the production processes, the customers, the methods used to distribute the products and services, the nature of the regulatory environment and store level profit margin are similar. The chief operating decision maker analyzes Company-owned restaurants at store level profit which is revenue less cost of food, payroll and related costs, other operating expenses and occupancy costs. The primary brands are Luby’s Cafeteria, Fuddruckers and Cheeseburger in Paradise, with a couple of non-core restaurant locations under other brand names (i.e., Koo Koo Roo Chicken Bistro and Bob Luby’s Seafood). All company-owned restaurants are casual dining restaurants. Each restaurant is an operating segment because operating results and cash flow can be determined for each restaurant.

The total number of Company-owned restaurants was 181 at February 12, 2014 and 180 at August 28, 2013.

Culinary Contract Services

CCS, branded as Luby’s Culinary Contract Services, consists of a business line servicing healthcare, higher education and corporate dining clients. The healthcare accounts are full service and typically include in-room delivery, catering, vending, coffee service and retail dining. CCS has contracts with long-term acute care hospitals, acute care medical centers, ambulatory surgical centers, behavioral hospitals, business and industry clients, and higher education institutions. CCS has the unique ability to deliver quality services that include facility design and procurement as well as nutrition and branded food services to our clients. The costs of culinary contract services on the Consolidated Statements of Operations include all food, payroll and related costs and other operating expenses related to CCS sales.

The total number of CCS contracts was 22 at February 12, 2014 and 21 at August 28, 2013.

Franchise Operations

We offer franchises for only the Fuddruckers brand. Franchises are sold in markets where expansion is deemed advantageous to the development of the Fuddruckers concept and system of restaurants. Initial franchise agreements have a term of 20 years. Franchise agreements typically grant franchisees an exclusive territorial license to operate a single restaurant within a specified area, usually a four-mile radius surrounding the franchised restaurant.

Franchisees bear all direct costs involved in the development, construction and operation of their restaurants. In exchange for a franchise fee, the Company provides franchise assistance in the following areas: site selection, prototypical architectural plans, interior and exterior design and layout, training, marketing and sales techniques, assistance by a Fuddruckers “opening team” at the time a franchised restaurant opens, and operations and accounting guidelines set forth in various policies and procedures manuals.

All franchisees are required to operate their restaurants in accordance with Fuddruckers standards and specifications, including controls over menu items, food quality and preparation. The Company requires the successful completion of its training program by a minimum of three managers for each franchised restaurant. In addition, franchised restaurants are evaluated regularly by the Company for compliance with franchise agreements, including standards and specifications through the use of periodic, unannounced, on-site inspections and standard evaluation reports.

The number of franchised restaurants was 114 at February 12, 2014 and 116 at August 28, 2013.

The table below shows financial information as required by ASC 280 for segment reporting. ASC 280 requires depreciation and amortization be disclosed for each reportable segment, even if not used by the chief operating decision maker. The table also lists total assets for each reportable segment. Corporate assets include cash and cash equivalents, tax refunds receivable, property and equipment, assets related to discontinued operations, property held for sale, deferred tax assets, prepaid expenses, intangible assets and goodwill.
