                       NOTES TO CONSOLIATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 November 30, 2000
                                    (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 periods 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, 2000. 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:  New Accounting Pronouncement

         The Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards No. 133 (FAS 133),
         "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," and its
         amendments, Statements 137 and 138, on September 1, 2000.  FAS 133
         requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance
         sheet at fair value.  The Company has designated its interest rate swap
         agreements as cash flow hedge instruments.  The swap agreements are
         used to manage exposure to interest rate movement by effectively
         changing the variable rate to a fixed rate.  The critical terms of the
         interest rate swap agreements and the interest-bearing debt associated
         with the swap agreements are the same; therefore, the Company has
         assumed that there is no ineffectiveness in the hedge relationship.
         Changes in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements will be
         recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax effects, until the
         hedged items are recognized in earnings.  The Company has hedged its
         exposure to interest rate movement through June 30, 2002.

         At September 1, 2000, the swap agreements were in a favorable position
         by approximately $175,000.  In accordance with the transition
         provisions of FAS 133, the net-of-tax cumulative effect of an
         accounting change adjustment on September 1, 2000, was $114,000 in
         accumulated other comprehensive income with a deferred income tax
         liability of $61,000.  At November 30, 2000, the fair value of the swap
         agreements decreased to an unfavorable position; therefore, the
         derivative financial instruments were adjusted to a liability of
         $165,000.  Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was adjusted
         to an accumulated loss of $107,000 and the deferred income tax was
         adjusted to a $58,000 tax asset.  As the swap agreements are deemed to
         be effective cash flow hedges, there was no income statement impact
         related to hedge ineffectiveness.  The Company expects to reclassify
         approximately $73,674 of existing losses in accumulated other
         comprehensive income, net of taxes, into net income (loss) through
         August 31, 2001.

Note 3:  Comprehensive Income (Loss)

         The Company's comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income

Note 4:  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Store Closings

     During the current quarter, the Company recorded a pretax charge to
     operating costs of $755,000 as a result of asset impairment charges in
     accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (FAS
     121), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
     of."  The assets related to surplus properties held for sale, which were
     written down to the lower of their historical costs or estimated net
     realizable values.

     In fiscal years 2000 and 1998 the Company also recorded a pretax charge to
     operating costs of $14.5 million and $36.9 million, respectively, for asset
     impairments and store closings.  In late fiscal 2000 the Company reviewed
     its restaurants from a capital strategy standpoint to determine whether the
     closing of certain units could positively impact sales and profitability at
     nearby locations while also providing capital funds from the sale of these
     properties to invest in other more profitable capital projects, such as
     food-to-go drive-thru expansions.  As a result of this review and continual
     evaluation of possible impairments, the Company recorded a pretax charge of
     $14.5 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 for store closings,
     associated closing costs, asset impairment charges in accordance with
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (FAS 121), "Accounting
     for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," and other
     unusual charges.  The principal components of the 2000 charge were as
     follows:

     - $7.7 million for the closing of 15 restaurants that had not met the
       Company's return on invested capital and sales growth requirements.
       Twelve of the 15 units were closed prior to November 2000, and the
       remaining three are planned for closure prior to August 31, 2001.  The
       charge included the cost to write down the properties and equipment to
       net realizable value and estimated costs for the settlement of lease
       obligations, legal and professional fees, severance costs, and other
       exit costs.
     - $3.2 million for asset impairments of six restaurant properties which the
       Company continues to operate.  The carrying values of the assets were
       written down to the estimated future discounted cash flows or fully
       written off in the case of negative future cash flows.  Estimated future
       cash flows were based on a regression analysis of averages for similar
       restaurants, discounted at the Company's weighted average cost of
       capital.
     - $1.3 million for the write-down of computer-related equipment and
       software.  The write-down included the abandonment of a payroll-related
       software package and several point-of-sale (POS) systems.  The POS
       systems were replaced with new touch-screen systems to provide better
       information and customer service, especially in the food-to-go
       expansions.  As these items were abandoned, the remaining book value of
       these assets was written off.
     - $1.2 million additional write-down on surplus properties held for sale.
       These properties were written down to the lower of their historical
       carrying costs or estimated net realizable values.
     - $1.1 million related to other unusual charges.  The primary component of
       this charge was the write-off of the remaining asset balance related to
       L&W Seafood, Inc., a joint venture originally established between the
       Company and Waterstreet, Inc.

       Prior to August 31, 2000, all restaurant employees of the Company were
       notified of the possibility of their termination due to future restaurant
       closures.  As of November 30, 2000, approximately 225 employees have been
       terminated, and approximately 100 additional employees will be terminated
       when the remaining three restaurants are closed during the coming year.
       The severance cost for these employees was accrued and included in the
       store closing charge noted above.

       During 1998 the Company recorded a pretax charge of $36.9 million as a
       result of the adoption of its strategic plan, which included the
       disposition, relocation, and write-down of several restaurants that had
       not met management's financial return expectations.  The principal
       components of the 1998 charge were as follows:

     - $14.7 million for the closing of 14 underperforming restaurants.  This
       charge included the cost to write down the properties and equipment to
       net realizable value and estimated costs for the settlement of lease
       obligations, legal and professional fees, and other exit costs.  As of
       November 2000, only one unit remains to be closed and is scheduled for
       closure in January 2001.
     - $10.7 million for the closing and relocation of 16 restaurants to
       optimize their market potential.  This charge included the cost to write
       down the properties and equipment to net realizable value.  Of the 16
       units, three have been relocated and five are scheduled for future
       relocations.  In addition, due to changes in operating conditions, the
       Company decided to close five of these units and continue to operate
       three units.  The carrying values of the three units that remain in
       operation were moved out of property held for sale into operating assets
       at August 31, 2000.
     - $11.4 million for asset impairments of 13 restaurants which the Company
       continues to operate.  In accordance with FAS 121, the properties were
       written down to the estimated future discounted cash flows or fully
       written off in the case of negative future cash flows.  Estimated future
       cash flows were based on a regression analysis of averages for similar
       restaurants, discounted at the Company's weighted average cost of
       capital.
     - $0.1 million additional write-down on surplus properties held for sale.
       These properties were written down to the lower of their historical
       carrying costs or estimated net realizable values.

       At November 30, 2000, the balance in the reserve for store closings was
       $803,000.  All material cash outlays related to the 1998 pretax charge
       have been made as of November 30, 2000.  It is anticipated that all
       material cash outlays required for the 2000 pretax charge will be made
       prior to August 31, 2001.  The following table presents a summary of the
       types and amounts recognized as accrued expenses together with cash
       payments made against such accruals through the period ended November 30,
       2000:

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources
_______________________________

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $995,000 from the end of the preceding
fiscal year to November 30, 2000.  All capital expenditures for fiscal 2001 are
being funded from cash flows from operations, cash equivalents, and long-term
debt.  Capital expenditures for the three months ended November 30, 2000, were
$7,508,000.  As of November 30, 2000, the Company owned one undeveloped land
site, two land sites on which restaurants were under construction, and 25
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, 2000, the amount outstanding under this line of credit was
$116,000,000.  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.

Operational Restructuring
_________________________

During the current quarter, the Company had cash outlays related to its reserve
for store closings. This reserve was the result of write-downs taken in fiscal
year 2000 and fiscal year 1998.  The write-downs were the result of the
Company's continuing efforts to redeploy both capital and human resources to
improve the Company's financial performance and strengthen the organization.

The 2000 write-down resulted in a pretax charge to operating costs of $14.5
million during the fourth quarter for store closings, associated closing costs,
asset impairment charges in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 (FAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed of," and other unusual charges.  The principal components of the
2000 charge were (1) $7.7 million for the closing of 15 restaurants that had not
met the Company's return on invested capital and sales growth requirements - 12
of the 15 units have been closed as of November 2000, and the remaining three
are planned for closure prior to August 31, 2001; (2) $3.2 million for asset
impairments of six restaurant properties which the Company continues to operate;
(3) $1.3 million for the write-down of computer-related equipment and software;
(4) $1.2 million additional write-down on surplus properties held for sale; and
(5) $1.1 million related to other unusual charges.   The 1998 write-down
resulted in a pretax charge to operating costs of $36.9 million for stores that
were closed, relocated, or impaired.  The principal components of the 1998
charge were (1) $14.7 million for the closing of 14 underperforming restaurants;
(2) $10.7 million for the closing and relocation of 16 restaurants to optimize
their market potential; (3) $11.4 million for asset impairments of 13
restaurants which the Company continues to operate; and (4) $0.1 million
additional write-down on surplus properties held for sale. See further
discussion of the 2000 and 1998 pretax charges in Note 4 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended November 30, 2000.

At November 30, 2000, the balance in the reserve for store closings was
$803,000.  All material cash outlays related to the 1998 pretax charge have been
made as of November 30, 2000.  It is anticipated that all material cash outlays
required for the 2000 pretax charge will be made prior to August 31, 2001.  The
following table presents a summary of the types and amounts recognized as
accrued expenses together with cash payments made against such accruals for the
quarter ended November 30, 2000:

Results of Operations
_____________________

Quarter ended November 30, 2000 compared to the quarter ended November 30, 1999
_______________________________________________________________________________

Sales decreased $9,244,000, or 7.5%, due to the closing of three restaurants in
fiscal 2000 and 12 restaurants in fiscal year 2001, and a decline of just under
7% during the quarter in sales volumes at restaurants opened over 18 months.
This decrease was partially offset by the opening of 11 new restaurants during
fiscal 2000.

Cost of food decreased $1,039,000, or 3.4%, due primarily to the decline in
sales. As a percentage of sales, food costs were higher versus the prior year
due to various additional factors including higher commodity prices on pork,
beef, and vegetables.  In addition, food costs were impacted by recent couponing
and our drive to increase dinner traffic by offering higher-end entrees such as
steak, shrimp, and fresh fish.  Payroll and related costs increased $684,000, or
1.7%, due primarily to higher hourly wage rates, which were partially offset by
fewer labor hours in the restaurants, as well as an unusual charge of $500,000
related to a worker's compensation adjustment based on an analysis of current
year activity and company trends. Occupancy and other operating expenses
increased $307,000, or 0.8%, due primarily to increased utility costs due to
higher rates; higher rent expense due to new stores and the timing of percentage
rentals; higher property taxes related to new stores and remodels; and higher
depreciation expense associated with the new stores, restaurant remodels, and an
increase in technology-related spending.  These increases were partially offset
by lower advertising expense due to a change in the timing of expenditures and
lower management incentive pay as a result of lower sales and profits.  General
and administrative expenses increased $991,000, or 19.0%, due primarily to
higher officers' salaries related to a separation agreement negotiated with
Luby's former President and CEO and higher legal and professional fees related
to various pending issues.  These increases were offset by lower profit sharing
and bonus expenses.  During the current quarter, the Company recorded a pretax
charge to operating costs of $755,000 as a result of asset impairment charges in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (FAS 121),
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of."  The
assets related to surplus properties held for sale, which were written down to
their estimated fair value.

Interest expense increased $1,201,000, or 113.7%, from the first quarter of
fiscal 2000 due to higher borrowings under the line-of-credit agreement and
higher interest rates.

Other income decreased $411,000 due primarily to lower gains on the sale of
properties which were held for sale.

The provision for income taxes decreased $12,554,000, or 132.6%, due primarily
to lower income before income taxes.  This was partially offset by a slight
increase in the effective income tax rate from 34.8% to 35.0%.
