                         Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
 
Participants and Plan Committee of the Ruby Tuesday, Inc. Salary Deferral Plan:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Ruby Tuesday, Inc. Salary Deferral Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of Form 5500, Schedule H, line 4i- schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

RUBY TUESDAY, INC. SALARY DEFERRAL PLAN
 
Notes to Financial Statements
 
December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010
 

(1)  
Description of the Plan
 
The following description of the Ruby Tuesday, Inc. Salary Deferral Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
 
(a) 
  
General
 
The Plan is a voluntary, defined contribution plan covering all employees of Ruby Tuesday, Inc. (the “Company”), other than union employees, leased employees and highly compensated employees.  Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan after six months of service and age twenty-one or older.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).
 
The general administration of the Plan is the responsibility of the Plan Committee (the “Committee”) which consists of at least two persons and not more than seven persons appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors.
 
(b) 
 
Contributions
 
Participants may contribute up to 50% of their annual pre-tax compensation as defined in the Plan subject to certain limits.  Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans and up to 10% of their annual compensation as after-tax contributions.  Participants age 50 and older may contribute catch-up contributions.  Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers a Company stock fund, twenty seven mutual funds and a stable return fund as investment options for participants.  The Company will make matching contributions in an amount equal to a discretionary percentage to be determined by the Company.  Matching contributions shall not be made with respect to a participant’s deferrals that exceed the first six percent of the participant’s annual compensation.  Matching contributions may vary based on classes of participants and on the percentage of a participant’s deferral amount.  No matching contributions are made on either catch-up contributions or after-tax contributions.  Company contributions may be made in cash or in-kind, including shares of Company stock, at the discretion of the Company.  The maximum employee contribution to the Plan for the 2011 Plan year was $16,500.   An employer matching contribution of $305,340 was accrued for the 2010 Plan year and paid during the 2011 Plan year.  No other employer matching contributions were made during the 2011 Plan year.
 
(c) 
   
Participant Accounts
 
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of the Company’s contribution and a pro rata allocation of the earnings and losses of the investment options, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses, whether or not pro rata, in accordance with ERISA.  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

RUBY TUESDAY, INC. SALARY DEFERRAL PLAN
 
Notes to Financial Statements
 
December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010
 
 
 
(d) 
  
Vesting
 
Participants are immediately 100% vested in their own contributions plus any earnings thereon and become 100% vested in the matching Company contributions plus actual earnings thereon after the completion of 3 years of service or, if earlier, in the event of a termination of service due to death, disability, or retirement on or after age 65.
 
(e) 
 
Payment of Benefits
 
On termination of service, whether due to death, disability, retirement, or otherwise, the participant or the beneficiary of the participant shall receive a lump-sum payment in cash.  A participant invested in the Company stock fund may request a distribution in kind from that fund.  The participant may withdraw at any time all or a portion of rollover amounts and after-tax contributions and related earnings.  The participant may request a withdrawal of all or a portion of deferral amounts and catch-up contributions if able to demonstrate hardship.
 
(f) 
  
Participant Loans
 
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $500 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000, subject to reduction for certain prior outstanding loan balances, or 50% of their vested account balance at an interest rate as of December 31, 2011, at prime +1%. The loans are secured by one-half of the balance in the participant’s account. Loans outstanding at December 31, 2011 and 2010 had interest rates ranging from 4.25% to 9.50% for both years with maturity dates through April 6, 2021.
 
(g) 
  
Forfeited Accounts
 
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $0 and $39,319, respectively.  At December 31, 2011, the Plan's net assets available for benefits include $108,566 of unclaimed checks that have been distributed to participants or former participants of the plan. This balance is restricted and may not be used to pay administrative expenses or to reduce future employer contributions.
 
(2)  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
(a) 
  
Basis of Accounting
 
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting.
 
(b) 
  
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and the reported changes in such net assets available for benefits during the reported period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
(c) 
  
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
 
Investments are reported at fair value.  Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  See note 4 for discussion of fair value measurements.

RUBY TUESDAY, INC. SALARY DEFERRAL PLAN
 
Notes to Financial Statements
 
December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010
 
 
Net depreciation in the fair value of investments is reflected in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits and includes realized gains and losses on investments bought and sold and unrealized gains and losses on investments held at year end.  Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Acquisitions costs are included in the cost of investments purchased and sales are recorded net of selling expenses.
 
(d) 
  
Participant loans
 
Participant loans are valued at amortized cost.  Amortized cost represents unpaid loan principal plus accrued interest at year end.
 
(e) 
  
Risks and Uncertainties
 
The Plan invests in various investment securities.  Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
 
Recent market conditions have resulted in an unusually high degree of volatility and increased the risks, including short-term liquidity risk, associated with certain investments held by the Plan, which could impact the value of investments after the date of these financial statements.
 
(f) 
  
Plan Expenses
 
Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company to the extent not paid with Plan assets.
 
(g) 
  
Payment of Benefits
 
Benefits are recorded when paid.
 
(h) 
  
Subsequent Events
 
The Plan has evaluated subsequent events and determined that no disclosure is necessary.
 
(i) 
  
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
 
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, which amends ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” to result in common fair value measurements and disclosures between accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and International Financial Reporting Standards.  The amendments explain how to measure fair value.  They do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting.  The amendments change the wording used to describe fair value measurement requirements and disclosures, but often do not result in a change in the application of current guidance.  Certain amendments clarify the intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while certain other amendments change a principle or requirement for fair value measurement or disclosure.  This guidance is effective for reporting

periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Plan does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have an impact on the Plan’s financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, which provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
 
 

-10-
 
 
RUBY TUESDAY, INC. SALARY DEFERRAL PLAN
 
Notes to Financial Statements
 
December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010
 
 
(Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

 
Level 1
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.

 
Level 2
Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
 
·  
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
 
·  
Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
 
·  
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and
 
·  
Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
 
 
 
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
 
 
Level 3
Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
 
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
 
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value.  There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
Company stock fund:  Ruby Tuesday, Inc. common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange and is valued at the quoted market price on the last business day of the plan year.  The Company stock fund is unitized and includes money market funds in addition to Ruby Tuesday, Inc. common stock.   
 
Mutual funds:  Stated at fair value based on quoted market prices on the last business day of the plan year.
 
Common/collective trust:  Valued in accordance with ASC 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies, which states that investment contracts held in a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value.  Fair value for these investments is reported at the net asset value by the underlying funds. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under terms of the Plan.  The Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of these investment contracts as well as their adjustment from fair value to contract value.
 
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies

or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair measurement at the reporting date.

The Plan has $4,160,520 and $3,730,574 of investments in alternative investment funds as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are reported at fair value.  The Plan has concluded that the net asset value reported by the underlying funds approximates the fair value of the investment.  These investments are redeemable with the underlying funds at net asset value under the original terms of the partnership agreements and/or subscription agreements and operations of the underlying funds.  However, it is possible that these redemption rights may be restricted or eliminated by the funds in the future in accordance with the underlying fund agreements.  Due to the nature of the investments held by the funds, changes in market conditions and the economic environment may significantly impact the net asset value of the funds and,

Notes to Financial Statements

consequently, the fair value of the Plan’s interests in the funds.  Furthermore, changes to the liquidity provisions of the funds may significantly impact the fair value of the Plan’s interest in the funds.
 
Although a secondary market exists for these investments, it is not active and individual transactions are typically not observable.  When transactions occur in this limited secondary market, they may occur at discounts to the reported net asset value.  Therefore, if the redemption rights in the funds were restricted or eliminated and the Plan were to sell these investments in the secondary market, it is reasonably possible that a buyer in the secondary market may require a discount to the reported net asset value, and the discount could be significant.
 
(5)  
Plan Termination
 
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Plan may be terminated at any time by the Company’s Board of Directors. Upon termination, all assets are to be distributed to Plan participants or their beneficiaries in due course. Each participant would become 100% vested in their employer contributions on the date of termination.
   
(6)  
Income Tax Status
 
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated March 13, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”). Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, a timely filed application for an updated determination is pending before the Internal Revenue Service.  The Committee believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated, in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
 
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan.  The financial statement effects are recognized when the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Committee has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that as of December 31, 2011, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken.  The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.  The Committee believes the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2008.
 
 (7)   
Transactions with Parties In Interest
