                           LUBY'S CAFETERIAS, INC. 
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             November 30, 1998
                                (UNAUDITED)

Note 1:  The accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented in
         accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, consequently,
         do not include all of the disclosures normally required by generally
         accepted accounting principles.  All adjustments which are, in the
         opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for
         the interim periods have been made. All such adjustments are of a
         normal recurring nature.  The results for the interim period are not
         necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

         These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
         consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Luby's
         annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1998. The
         accounting policies used in preparing these consolidated financial
         statements are the same as those described in Luby's annual report on
         Form 10-K.

Note 2:  During 1998 the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (FAS 128).  FAS 128 replaced
         the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share
         with basic and diluted earnings per share.  Unlike primary earnings per
         share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of
         options, warrants, and convertible securities.  Diluted earnings per
         share is very similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings
         per share.  Earnings per share amounts for all periods have been
         restated to conform to the requirements of FAS 128.

         of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
_______________________________

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $754,000 from the end of the preceding
fiscal year to November 30, 1998.  All capital expenditures for fiscal 1999 are
being funded from cash flows from operations, cash equivalents, and long-term
debt.  Capital expenditures for the three months ended November 30, 1998, were
$7,077,000.  As of November 30, 1998, the company owned six undeveloped land
sites and several properties held for sale.

During the quarter ended November 30, 1998, the company purchased 528,100 shares
of its common stock at a cost of $8,080,000, which are being held as treasury
stock.  To complete the treasury stock purchases and fund capital expenditures,
the company required external financing and borrowed funds under a $125,000,000
line-of-credit agreement.  As of November 30, 1998, the amount outstanding under
this line of credit was $84,000,000.  The company believes that additional
financing from external sources can be obtained on terms acceptable to the
company in the event such financing is required.

Subsequent to November 30, 1998, 322,200 additional treasury shares were
purchased under a 1,000,000 share authorization which expired December 31, 1998.

Results of Operations
_____________________

Quarter ended November 30, 1998 compared to the quarter ended November 30, 1997.
________________________________________________________________________________

Sales increased $1,036,000, or 0.8%, due to the addition of one new restaurant
in fiscal 1999 and five in fiscal 1998.  Sales volumes at restaurants opened
over one year increased approximately 2.0% during the quarter; however,
this was partially offset by a decrease in sales from the closing of five
restaurants in fiscal 1998 and eight restaurants in the first quarter of fiscal
1999.

Cost of food increased $952,000, or 3.0%, due primarily to higher prices on key
products, including haddock, cheese, and other dairy products during the period.
Payroll and related costs decreased $201,000, or 0.5%, due primarily to lower
workers' compensation costs versus the first quarter of last year.  Occupancy
and other operating expenses increased $504,000, or 1.3%, due primarily to an
increase in advertising spending and higher food-to-go packaging costs.  These
increases were partially offset by lower preopening expenses due to fewer new
store openings as compared to the prior year and lower depreciation expense
associated with store closings and asset impairments.  General and
administrative expenses increased $390,000, or 7.4%, primarily due to higher
corporate salaries associated with the implementation of the company's strategic
plan and costs relating to increased recruiting and training efforts.  These
increases were partially offset by a lower estimated profit sharing contribution
for fiscal 1999.

Interest expense decreased $100,000 over the first quarter of fiscal 1998 due to
lower average borrowings under the line-of-credit agreement.

The provision for income taxes decreased $375,000, or 10.9%, due in part to
lower income from operations.  In addition, the effective income tax rate
decreased from 35.6% to 35.0% due to lower estimated state taxes.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations, continued

The Year 2000
_____________

Some of the company's older computer programs were written using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year.  As a result, those computer
programs have time-sensitive software that recognizes a date using "00" as the
year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could cause a system failure or
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, code invoices, or engage
in similar normal business activities. The company does not expect that the year
2000 issue will materially affect future financial results.

The company has formed a Year 2000 committee and has developed a plan to
assess critical systems and replace or develop solutions to those systems
that are found to have date-related deficiencies.  The completion of the
solution phase is estimated to be prior to any anticipated impact on our
systems.  The company is also surveying suppliers and customers to determine the
status of their Year 2000 compliance programs.

Forward-Looking Statements
__________________________

The company wishes to caution readers that various factors could cause the
actual results of the company to differ materially from those indicated by
forward-looking statements made from time to time in news releases, reports,
proxy statements, registration statements, and other written communications
(including the preceding sections of this Management's Discussion and Analysis),
as well as oral statements made from time to time by representatives of the

written communications are forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, including but not limited to general business conditions, the
impact of competition, the success of operating initiatives, changes in the cost
and supply of food and labor, the seasonality of the company's business, taxes,
inflation, and governmental regulations.
