Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

February 13, 2013

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 quarterly period ended February 13, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending August 28, 2013.

The consolidated balance sheet dated August 29, 2012, 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 29, 2012.

The results of operations, assets and liabilities for all units included in the cash flow improvement and capital redeployment plan discussed in Note 7 have been reclassified to discontinued operations in the statements of operations and balance sheets for all periods presented.

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 2012 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 the restaurant business. 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

Luby’s, Inc., 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 $10.7 million in cash. The Company assumed $1.4 million of Cheeseburger in Paradise obligations, real estate leases and contracts. The Company funded the purchase with cash and borrowings from its credit facility.

The Company believes the acquisition of Cheeseburger in Paradise will produce significant benefits. The acquisition is expected to increase the Company’s market presence and opportunities for growth in sales, earnings and shareholder returns. The acquisition provides a complementary growth vehicle in the casual segment of the restaurant industry. The Company believes these factors support the amount of goodwill recorded as a result of the purchase price paid for the Cheeseburger in Paradise intangible and tangible assets, net of liabilities assumed.

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 $0.2 million in acquisition costs which were expensed as incurred and classified as general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of earnings.

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. The Company’s fair value estimates for the purchase price allocation may change during the allowable period, which is up to one year from the acquisition date to provide sufficient time to devlop fair value estimates. The fair values that take longer to estimate and are more likely to change include property and equipment, intangible assets and leases.

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:

Property and equipment	$	6,220
License agreement and trade name		2,347
Accounts receivable		108
Inventories		548
Cash and cash equivalents		58
Other current assets		329
Liquor licenses and permits		169
Goodwill		143
Favorable leases		2,211
Accrued payables		(570	)
Accrued payroll and benefits		(405	)
Unredeemed gift card liability		(185	)
Personal property and real estate tax liability		(170	)
Other liabilities		(97	)
Net cash paid for acquisition	$	10,706

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 Buffet and affiliated entities. In return, the Company will pay a royalty fee of 2.5% of gross sales less discounts at Cheeseburger in Paradise locations to an entity owned or controlled by Jimmy Buffet. 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 $32 thousand of amortization expense for the quarter ended February 13, 2013, 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 $156 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 leases assets totaled $2.2 million 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 $28 thousand of amortization expense for the quarter ended February 13, 2013, which is classified as additional rent expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

The Company also recorded an intangible asset for goodwill in the amount of $0.1 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 recorded is expected to be amortizable and deductible for income tax purposes.

The following unaudited pro forma information assumes the Cheeseburger in Paradise acquisition occurred as of the beginning of the fiscal year ended August 29, 2012. The unaudited pro forma data is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the results of future operations of the Company or of the results that would have actually been attained had the acquisition taken place at the beginning of the fiscal year ended August 29, 2012.

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 and other operating expenses. 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 California 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 183 at February 13, 2013 and 154 at August 29, 2012.

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 had 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 includes all food, payroll and related costs and other operating expenses related to CCS sales.

The total number of CCS contracts was 18 at February 13, 2013 and August 29, 2012.

Franchising

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 standards evaluation reports.

The number of franchised restaurants was 119 at February 13, 2013 and 125 at August 29, 2012.

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 13, 2013		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Impairments

Note 6. Income Taxes

No cash payments of estimated federal income taxes were made during the quarter ended February 13, 2013.

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 13, 2013 and August 29, 2012, together with the related estimated useful lives used in computing depreciation and amortization, were as follows:

	February 13, 2013			August 29, 2012			Estimated Useful Lives (years)
	(In thousands)
Land	$	61,098		$	59,159			—
Restaurant equipment and furnishings		116,590			109,039		1	to	15
Buildings		170,640			167,346		20	to	33
Leasehold and leasehold improvements		34,824			32,913		Lesser of lease term or estimated useful life
Office furniture and equipment		7,276			7,030		3	to	10
Construction in progress		712			3,890			—
		391,140			379,377

Intangible assets, net	$	28,507		$	26,679			21
Goodwill	$	338		$	195			—

Intangible assets, net consist of the Fuddruckers trade name and franchise agreements and will be amortized. The Company believes the Fuddruckers’ brand 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 $3.6 million of accumulated amortization expense as of February 13, 2013 and $2.9 million of accumulated amortization expense as of August 29, 2012.

Intangible assets, net also includes the license agreement and trade name related to Cheeseburger in Paradise. These assets have an expected accounting life of 15 years from the date of acquisition December 6, 2012. The Company recorded amortization expense of $32 thousand in the quarter ended February 13, 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 $0.1 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 $0.3 million as of February 13, 2013 and $0.2 million as of August 29, 2012 and relates to our Company-owned restaurants reportable segment.

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 13, 2013			February 15, 2012
	(24 weeks)			(24 weeks)
	(In thousands, except per share data)
Provision for asset impairments	$	90		$	175
Net (gain) loss on disposition of property and equipment		(1,563	)		81
	$	(1,473	)	$	256
Effect on EPS:
Basic	$	(0.05	)	$	0.01
Assuming dilution	$	(0.05	)	$	0.01

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

The impairment charge for the two quarters ended February 15, 2012 is related to a culinary contract services 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 location net of asset retirements.

Discontinued Operations

As a result of the first quarter fiscal year 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.

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

	February 13, 2013		August 29, 2012
	(in thousands)
Prepaid expenses	$	33	$	42
Assets related to discontinued operations—current	$	33	$	42
Property and equipment	$	5,663	$	4,812

Liabilities related to discontinued operations—current	$	368	$	442
Other liabilities	$	84	$	134
Deferred income taxes		218		999
Liabilities related to discontinued operations—non-current	$	302	$	1,133

As of August 29, 2012, the Company had 7 properties classified as discontinued operations assets. The carrying value of the owned properties was $4.8 million. The carrying values of two ground leases were previously impaired to zero. As of February 13, 2013, the Company had 8 properties classified as discontinued operations assets. The carrying value of the owned properties was $5.7 million. The carrying values of two ground leases were previously impaired to zero.

One property was reclassified as a discontinued operations asset in the quarter ended February 13, 2013.

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 13, 2013			February 15, 2012

Discontinued operations	$	(487	)	$	(636	)
Effect on EPS from discontinued operations—basic	$	(0.02	)	$	(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 February 13, 2013 and August 29, 2012, the Company had one owned property recorded at approximately $0.6 million in property held for sale. The Company is actively marketing the location currently classified as property held for sale.

The Company’s results of continuing operations will be affected to the extent proceeds from sales exceed or are less than net book value.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

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 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 13, 2013.

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 16, 2011 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 13, 2013 and February 15, 2012 were zero and $63,600, respectively. Services provided under this agreement are subject to review and approval by the Finance and Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Operating Leases

In the third quarter of fiscal year 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 $20.00 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 the Finance and Audit Committee and full Board of Directors. The Company made payments of $144,000 and $133,000 in the two quarters ended February 13, 2013 and February 15, 2012, respectively.

On November 14, 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. The Company is currently obligated to pay rent of $35.00 per square foot plus maintenance, taxes, and insurance during the primary term of the lease. Thereafter, the lease provides for an increase in rent at a set interval. This lease agreement was approved by the Finance and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company has not made rental payments on this space in the two quarters ended February 13, 2013. Affiliated rents paid for this restaurant property lease represented 2.2% and 2.3% of total rents for continuing operations for the two quarters ended February 13, 2013 and February 15, 2012, respectively.

Note 11. Share-Based Compensation

We have two active share based stock plans, the Employee Stock Plan and Non-employee 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, 0.6 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 0.6 shares remain available for future issuance as of February 13, 2013. 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 13, 2013 and February 15, 2012 were approximately $57,000 and $155,000, 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 2.9 million options and restricted stock units were cancelled or expired and added back into the plan. Approximately 0.9 million shares remain available for future issuance as of February 13, 2013. Compensation cost for share-based payment arrangements under the Employee Stock Plan, recognized in general and administrative expenses for the two quarters ended February 13, 2013 and February 15, 2012 were approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 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 13, 2013. However, options to purchase 24,000 shares at option prices from $4.47 to $6.45 per share remain outstanding as of February 13, 2013.

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. All options granted in fiscal year 2013 were granted under the Employee Stock Plan. Options to purchase 919,585 shares at option prices of $3.44 to $11.10 per share remain outstanding as of February 13, 2013.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the quarter ended February 13, 2013 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 29, 2012		1,175,224		$	6.31		3.8	$	1,456
Granted		109,335			5.95		—		—
Exercised		(41,489	)		3.78		—		—
Forfeited/Expired		(299,485	)		—		—		—
Outstanding at February 13, 2013		943,585		$	5.24		5.0	$	2,654
Exercisable at February 13, 2013		660,687		$	5.36		4.4	$	1,852

The intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market value, or closing price on February 13, 2013, and the grant price.

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 15, 2013 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 29, 2012		163,946		$	4.83		1.8
Granted		274,290			6.17		—
Vested		(14,000	)		3.46		—
Unvested at February 13, 2013		424,236		$	5.74		2.2

At February 13, 2013, there was approximately $1.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 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. Directors may opt to receive 20% more shares of restricted stock awards by accepting more than the minimum required stock instead of cash. 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.

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 13, 2013 include approximately 75,000 shares with exercise prices exceeding market prices and approximately 33,000 shares whose inclusion would also be antidilutive.

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

	Quarter Ended						Two Quarters Ended
	February 13, 2013			February 15, 2012			February 13, 2013			February 15, 2012

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, Luby’s Culinary Contract Services, Fuddruckers, and Cheeseburger in Paradise. Also included in our brands are Luby’s, Etc. and Koo Koo Roo Chicken Bistro. We purchased substantially all of the assets of Fuddruckers, Inc., Magic Brands, LLC and certain of their affiliates (collectively, “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 13, 2013, we owned and operated 183 restaurants, of which 93 are traditional cafeterias, 64 are gourmet hamburger restaurants, 23 are casual dining bar and restaurants, two are upscale fast serve chicken restaurants, 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 13, 2013, we operated 18 Culinary Contract Service facilities. These facilities are located within healthcare and education settings in Texas and Louisiana. These facilities provide food service options to varied populations including in-hospital-room patient meal service, retail food-court style restaurant dining, and coffee/snack kiosks.

Also as of February 13, 2013, we are a franchisor for a network of 119 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 third 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

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 13, 2013, cash provided by operating activities was $7.6 million and by financing activities was $12.7 million offset by cash used in investing activities of $18.6 million. Cash and cash equivalents increased $1.7 million in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2013 compared to no increase or decrease in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2012. Cash provided by operating activities was $10.1 million offset by cash used in investing activities of $8.1 million and financing activities of $2.0 million in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2012. 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:

•	payments to purchase Cheeseburger in Paradise;

•	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 CCS 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 13, 2013			February 15, 2012
	(24 weeks)			(24 weeks)
	(In thousands)
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	7,567		$	10,125
Investing activities		(18,550	)		(8,128	)
Financing activities		12,657			(2,001	)
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	1,674		$	(4	)

Operating Activities. Cash flow from operating activities was $7.6 million in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2013, a $2.6 million decrease from the first two quarters of fiscal year 2012. The $2.6 million decrease in cash is due to a $2.9 million decrease in cash from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities offset by a $0.3 million change in cash generated by changes in operating assets and liabilities for the two quarters ended February 13, 2013 and February 15, 2012.

Cash generated by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities was $8.3 million in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2013, a $2.9 million decrease compared to the first two quarters of fiscal year 2012. The $2.9 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 $1.5 million for company-owned restaurants and $0.1 million for franchising and $0.4 million increase in cash used for opening costs and $1.1 million increase in cash used in general and administrative activities for legal and professional, payroll and related costs and director fees offset by an increase in cash provided by culinary contract services.

Changes in operating assets and liabilities was a $0.8 million use of cash in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2013, a $0.3 million increase compared to the first two quarters of fiscal year 2012. The $0.3 million increase in the source of cash was due to differences in the change in asset and liability balances during the two quarters ended February 13, 2013 and February 15, 2012. The favorable differences in the change in prepaid expenses and other assets which includes prepayments for rent, insurance premiums and software maintenance was $1.1 million and $0.3 million for food and supply inventories, offset by unfavorable differences in trade accounts and other receivables of $0.2 million and $0.9 million for accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities.

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 $18.6 million in the two quarters ended February 13, 2013 and $8.1 million in the two quarters ended February 15, 2012.

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 CCS business vary from 30 to 45 days based on contract terms.

Working Capital

Current assets increased $2.2 million in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2013 compared to an increase of $0.4 million in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2012. In the first two quarters of fiscal year 2013, cash increased $1.7 million and food and supply inventory increased $0.9 million; partially offset by decreases in trade accounts and other receivables of $0.3 million and prepaid expenses of $0.1 million. In the first two quarters of fiscal year 2012, food inventories increased $0.7 million and prepaid expenses increased $0.3 million while trade accounts and other receivable decreased $0.6 million. The change in prepaid expenses and other assets was a $2.0 million source of cash in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2013, an increase of $1.4 million from the first two quarters of fiscal year 2012. The change in trade accounts and other receivables was a $0.3 million source of cash in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2013, a decrease of $0.3 million from the first two quarters of fiscal year 2012. The change in food and supplies inventory was a $0.9 million use of cash in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2013, an increase of $0.3 million from the first two quarters of fiscal year 2012.

The change in accounts payables, accrued expenses and other liabilities was a $1.9 million source of cash in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2013, an increase of $2.3 million from the first two quarters of fiscal year 2012. The $2.3 million difference in the two quarters was primarily due to timing differences in the accrual and payment of salary related costs 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 year 2013 were approximately $11.4 million and related to 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 year 2013 using proceeds from the sale of assets, cash flows from operations and our available credit. We expect to spend approximately $24.0 million to $29.0 million on capital expenditures in fiscal year 2013.

In November 2009, 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 January 31, 2010, July 26, 2010, September 30, 2010, October 31, 2010, August 25, 2011, October 20, 2011 and February 14, 2013 (the revolving credit facility, together with all amendments thereto, is referred to as the “2009 Credit Facility”). The 2009 Credit Facility is governed by the Credit Agreement dated as of November 9, 2009 (as amended to date, the “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 maturity date of the 2009 Credit Facility is September 1, 2014.

The aggregate amount of the lenders’ commitments under the 2009 Credit Facility was $50.0 million as of February 13, 2013. The 2009 Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in a maximum aggregate amount of $15.0 million outstanding at any one time. At February 13, 2013, $23.5 million was available under the 2009 Credit Facility.

The 2009 Credit Facility is guaranteed by all of our present or future subsidiaries. In addition, in connection with the expansion of the 2009 Credit Facility that accompanied our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Fuddruckers in July 2010, Christopher J. Pappas, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Harris J. Pappas, a member of our Board of Directors, guaranteed the payment of up to $13.0 million of our indebtedness under the 2009 Credit Facility. The maximum amount of this guaranty was reduced to $9.5 million on February 28, 2011, further reduced to $6.0 million on May 31, 2011 and reduced to zero as of August 25, 2011.

At any time throughout the term of the 2009 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 1.00% to 2.00% per annum. The other interest rate option is the London InterBank Offered Rate plus a spread that ranges from 2.75% to 3.75% 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 our Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) at the most recent determination date.

The proceeds of the 2009 Credit Facility are available for our general corporate purposes and general working capital purposes.

Borrowings under the 2009 Credit Facility are subject to mandatory repayment with the proceeds of sales of certain of our real property, subject to certain exceptions.

The 2009 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 Credit Agreement). At February 13, 2013, the carrying value of the collateral securing the 2009 Credit Facility was $88.3 million.

The 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 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 (1) 2.00 to 1.00, beginning with the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and ending with the first quarter of fiscal 2012, (2) 2.25 to 1.00 beginning with the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and ending with the first quarter of fiscal 2013, and (3) 2.50 to 1.00 beginning with the end of second quarter of fiscal 2013 and thereafter,

•

maintenance of minimum Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Credit Amendment) of not less than (1) $126.7 million as of the last day of the third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2011 and (2) increasing incrementally thereafter, as of the last day of each subsequent fiscal quarter, by an amount equal to 60% of our consolidated net income (if positive) for the fiscal quarter ending on such date,

•

maintenance of minimum net profit of $1.00 (1) for at least one of the first three fiscal quarters of our 2012 fiscal year, (2) for at least one of any two consecutive fiscal quarters beginning with the fourth fiscal quarter of our 2012 fiscal year, and (3) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters beginning with the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending with the fourth quarter of our 2011 fiscal year,

•

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,

•

limiting Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to $15.0 million for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011, to $34.9 million for the fiscal year ended August 29, 2012, and for any subsequent fiscal year, the lesser of (a) $38.0 million or (b) the sum of (x) an amount equal to 130% of EBITDA for the immediately preceding fiscal year plus (y) any unused availability for capital expenditures from the immediately preceding fiscal year, 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 Credit Agreement as of February 13, 2013.

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

As of February 13, 2013, we had $25.5 million in outstanding loans and $1.0 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 Item 1 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.

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 carrybacks and carryforwards 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 Texas for franchise taxes and 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 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 183 restaurants as of February 13, 2013 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.

We believe we have two locations, with an aggregate net carrying value of assets held for use of $0.3 million, with respect to which it is possible that an impairment charge could be taken over the next 12 months.

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 the Company’s 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 July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” This pronouncement was issued to simplify how entities test for impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets. Under this pronouncement, an entity has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. In conclusion of this assessment, if an entity finds that it is not more likely that not than an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. However, is an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted. 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

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 13, 2013, the total amount of debt subject to interest rate fluctuations outstanding under our 2009 Credit Facility was $22.5 million. Assuming an average debt balance of $22.5 million, a 1.0% increase in prevailing interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by $0.2 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 13, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of February 13, 2013, 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 13, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There have been no material changes to our legal proceedings as disclosed in “Legal Proceedings” in Item 3 of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 29, 2012.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes during the quarter ended February 13, 2013 to the Risk Factors discussed in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 29, 2012.

If we do not successfully integrate Luby’s and Cheeseburger in Paradise operations, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of all the Membership Units of Paradise Restaurant Group, LLC and certain of their affiliates may not be fully realized.

On December 5, 2012, we completed the acquisition of all of the membership units of Paradise Restaurant Group, LLC and certain of their affiliates, collectively known as Cheeseburger In Paradise. Although we believe that the integration of Cheeseburger in Paradise into our operations will not present significant difficulties, this integration may not result in the realization of the full benefits of synergies, cost savings and operational efficiencies that we expect or the achievement of these benefits within a reasonable period of time. The diversion of the attention of management to the integration effort and any difficulties encountered in combining our operations could adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, we may not have discovered all known and unknown factors regarding the Cheeseburger in Paradise operation that could produce unintended and unexpected consequences for us. Undiscovered factors could result in us incurring financial liabilities, which could be material, and in us not achieving the expected benefits from the acquisition within our desired time frames, if at all.
