         accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, consequently, do not
         include all of the disclosures normally required by generally accepted

         management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the

         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, 1999. The
         accounting policies used in preparing these consolidated financial

$15,391,000.  As of November 30, 1999, the company owned three undeveloped land
sites, seven land sites on which restaurants were under construction, and
several properties held for sale.

To fund capital expenditures, the company required external financing and
borrowed funds under a $125,000,000 line-of-credit agreement.  As of
November 30, 1999, the amount outstanding under this line of credit was
$86,000,000.  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.

Results of Operations
_____________________

Quarter ended November 30, 1999 compared to the quarter ended November 30, 1998
_______________________________________________________________________________

Sales decreased $2,564,000, or 2.0%, due to the closing of ten restaurants in
fiscal 1999 and a decline of just under 2% during the quarter in sales volumes
at restaurants opened over 18 months. This decrease was partially offset by the
opening of three new restaurants during fiscal 2000 and four during fiscal 1999.

Cost of food decreased $2,410,000, or 7.3%, due primarily to the savings
associated with the consolidation of our purchasing under a prime vendor program
and the decline in sales. As a percentage of sales, food costs were lower versus
the prior year due to various additional factors including the impact of our new
management compensation program, which provides more of an incentive to improve
margins at all sales volumes, and certain menu price increases versus last year.
Payroll and related costs decreased $583,000, or 1.5%, due primarily to the
decline in sales and our initiative to be more labor efficient in our
restaurants, which was partially offset by higher hourly wage rates related to
tight labor markets for entry-level employees. Occupancy and other operating
expenses increased $893,000, or 2.3%, due primarily to higher preopening
expenses associated with more new store openings as compared to the prior
year; higher credit card fees due to increased credit card usage and increased
rates charged by the credit card companies; higher food-to-go packaging costs
related to increased food-to-go sales; and higher depreciation expense
associated with the new stores, restaurant remodels and an increase in
technology-related spending.  In addition, management compensation expense
increased due to our strategic initiative to increase the number of managers in
each restaurant.  These increases were partially offset by lower linens and
uniform expense due to the completion of the rollout of the new uniform program
and fewer restaurants in operation.  General and administrative expenses
decreased $461,000, or 8.1%, due to savings in many expense categories,
primarily legal and professional expense which included amounts in the prior
year relating to various consulting projects.  This decrease was partially
offset by higher corporate salaries and benefits associated with the addition of
new positions to support the implementation of our strategic plan.

Interest expense decreased $110,000, or 9.4%, from the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 due to higher capitalized interest related to more properties
under construction during the current year.  This was partially offset by
higher average borrowings under the line-of-credit agreement.

Other income increased $630,000 due primarily to the recording of a gain on
the sale of property which was held for sale.  In addition, as a result of a
favorable change in management's estimate of lease settlement costs relating
to store closings, a $125,000 reduction in the related reserve account was
recorded.

The provision for income taxes increased $238,000, or 7.8%, due parimarily
to higher income before income taxes.  This was partially offset by a slight
decrease in the effective income tax rate from 35.0% to 34.8% due to higher
estimated tax credits.

During November 1999 the company negotiated the sale of its interest in the
L&W Seafood, Inc. joint venture to Waterstreet, Inc.  The joint venture was
originally formed in 1996 to open several new seafood restaurants over a
five-year period.  Four restaurants were opened by the joint venture, two of
which were subsequently closed.  As part of the agreement to terminate the
joint venture, L&W Seafood, Inc. will continue to operate two of the
restaurants, which were formerly part of the joint venture, under lease
agreements with Luby's.  There was no gain or loss from the sale of the
company's joint venture interest.

The Year 2000
_____________

During 1998 the company, in the ordinary course of business, decided to
migrate its information technology from internally developed systems to
commercially available products. This decision was made for a variety of
business reasons, and the new systems are designed to provide the
infrastructure to support corporate and restaurant-based systems.  The newly
implemented systems are Year 2000 compliant.  The transition to the new
technology was completed in January 1999.  To date, the Year 2000 has not
posed significant operational problems for the company's computer systems.
The cost of the Year 2000 project was approximately $200,000, primarily for
services and costs of updating some existing software.

The company established a committee which initiated communications with
various third parties with which it has significant relationships to
determine their readiness with respect to the Year 2000 issue.  These third
parties included food and paper distributors, banks, and other entities.
Based on responses received from these third parties, it appears that the
Year 2000 issues were properly addressed.  To date, there have been no major
disruptions which have had an adverse effect on the company's consolidated
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.  The company
intends to continue to monitor any Year 2000 concerns that might develop.
