Item 1. Business.

Luby's Cafeterias, Inc. (the "Company") operates 177 cafeterias under the
name "Luby's" located in suburban shopping areas in Arizona, Arkansas,
Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Tennessee, and Texas. Of the 177 cafeterias operated by the Company, 99 are
at locations owned by the Company and 78 are on leased premises.

Luby's Cafeterias, Inc. was originally incorporated in Texas in 1959 and
was reincorporated in Delaware on December 31, 1991. The Company's executive
offices are at 2211 Northeast Loop 410, P. O. Box 33069, San Antonio, Texas
78265-3069.

Marketing

The Company's product strategy is to provide a wide variety of freshly-
prepared foods in an attractive and informal environment. The Company's
research has shown that its products appeal to a broad range of value-oriented
consumers with particular success among senior citizens, families with
children, and business people looking for a quick, healthy meal at a
reasonable price.

Prior to 1991 the Company relied primarily on customers' word-of-mouth
recommendations and community relations activities to promote its business,
spending approximately .5% of sales annually on these efforts. In 1991 the
Company began developing a new marketing program under the direction of
Joyce E. Rothenberg, who was elected vice president-marketing in 1992. Based
on favorable results of radio and television advertising tests, the marketing
budget increased to approximately 1.7% of sales for fiscal 1994 and will
increase to approximately two percent of sales for fiscal 1995, primarily for
increased radio and television advertising.

The Company intends to continue expending the majority of the market
budget on television and radio advertising, as well as supporting the
increased local marketing activities of the individual cafeterias. During
fiscal 1994 the Company conducted its first cooperative promotion, joining
forces with Southwest Airlines, Sea World of Texas, and Karena Hotels of Texas
to target families with children. The Company plans to develop additional
cooperative promotions for fiscal 1995.

Operations

The Company's operations combine the food quality and atmosphere of a
good restaurant with the simplicity and visual food selection of cafeteria
service. Food is prepared in small quantities throughout serving hours, and
frequent quality checks are made. Each cafeteria offers a broad and varied
menu and normally serves 12 to 14 entrees, 12 to 14 vegetable dishes, 22 to 25
salads, and 18 to 20 desserts.

The Company's cafeterias cater primarily to shoppers and office or store
personnel for lunch and to families for dinner. The Company's cafeterias are
open for lunch and dinner seven days a week. All of the cafeterias sell
takeout orders, and most of them have separate food to go entrances. Takeout
orders accounted for approximately nine percent of sales in fiscal 1994.

Each cafeteria is operated as a separate unit under the control of a
manager who has responsibility for day-to-day operations, including food
purchasing, menu planning, and personnel employment and supervision. Each
cafeteria manager is compensated on the basis of his or her cafeteria's
profits. Management believes that granting broad authority to its cafeteria
managers and compensating them on the basis of their performance are
significant factors in the profitability of its cafeterias. Of the 177
cafeteria managers employed by the Company, 149 have been with the Company for
more than ten years. Currently, an individual is employed for a period of
seven to ten years before he or she is considered qualified to become a
cafeteria manager.

Each cafeteria cooks or prepares substantially all of the food served,
including breads and pastries. The cafeterias prepare food from the same
recipes, with minor variations to suit local tastes, although menus are not
uniform in all of the Company's cafeterias on any particular day. Menus are
prepared to reflect local and seasonal food preferences and to take advantage
of any special food purchasing opportunities. Substantially all of the food
served by each cafeteria is purchased from local suppliers. None of the
cafeterias is dependent upon any one supplier, and the Company believes that
alternative sources of supply are readily available.

Quality control teams, each consisting of experienced cooks and a
supervisor, help to maintain uniform standards of food preparation. The teams
primarily assist in the training of new personnel during the opening of new
cafeterias. The teams also visit the cafeterias periodically and work with
the regular staffs to check adherence to the Company's recipes, train
personnel in new techniques, and evaluate procedures for possible use
throughout the Company.

The Company conducts a training program in its training facilities in San
Antonio. The training program is approximately four and one-half months in
duration. Management personnel receive two weeks of classroom instruction and
four months of practical training in operating cafeterias.

As of August 31, 1994, the Company had approximately 10,100 employees,
consisting of 9,435 nonmanagement cafeteria personnel; 547 cafeteria managers,
associate managers and assistant managers; and 118 executive, administrative,
and clerical personnel. Employee relations are considered to be good, and the
Company has never had a strike or work stoppage.

Expansion

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994, the Company opened eight
new units and relocated three units. The new units are located in
Leavenworth, Kansas; Shreveport, Louisiana; Morristown, Tennessee; and
Grapevine, Houston, San Antonio, San Marcos, and Temple, Texas. The relocated
units are in Dallas, Harlingen, and San Antonio, Texas. Since August 31,
1994, the Company has opened one new unit in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

Ten new cafeterias are under construction in North Little Rock, Arkansas;
Mission, Kansas; Nashville and Oak Ridge, Tennessee; and Beaumont, Fort Worth,
Nassau Bay, Plano, San Antonio, and Weslaco, Texas. The new unit under
construction in Beaumont is to be a relocation of an existing unit. During
fiscal 1995 the Company expects to open 14 new cafeterias plus the unit to be
relocated.

The Company continually evaluates prospective new cafeteria sites and
typically has several sites for new cafeterias under active consideration at
any given time. The rate at which new cafeterias are opened is governed by
the Company's policy of controlled growth, which takes into account the
resources and capabilities of all departments involved, including real estate,
construction, equipment, and operations. It has been the Company's experience
that new cafeterias generally become profitable within three months after
opening.

The costs of opening new cafeterias vary widely, depending on whether the
facilities are to be leased or owned, and if owned, on-site acquisition and
construction costs. The Company estimates that in recent years it has cost
$2,300,000 to $2,600,000 to construct, equip, and furnish a new cafeteria in a
freestanding building under normal conditions, including land acquisition
costs. A new building prototype has been developed and utilized for all of the
fiscal 1994 openings, which reduced the initial investment in a typical new
location to approximately $2,350,000.

Service Marks

The Company uses several service marks, including "Luby's," and believes
that such marks are of material importance to its business. The Company has
Federal service mark registrations for several of such marks.

The Company is not the sole user of the name "Luby's" in the cafeteria
business. One cafeteria using the name "Luby's" and one cafeteria using the
name "Pat Luby's" are being operated in two different cities in Texas by two
different owners not affiliated with the Company. The Company's legal counsel
is of the opinion that the Company has the paramount right to use the name
"Luby's" as a service mark in the cafeteria business in the United States and
that such other users can be precluded from expanding their use of the name as
a service mark.

Competition and Other Factors

The food service business is highly competitive, and there are numerous
restaurants and other food service operations in each of the markets where the
Company operates. The quality of the food served, in relation to its price,
and public reputation are important factors in food service competition.
Neither the Company nor any of its competitors has a significant share of the
total market in any area in which the Company competes. The Company believes
that its principal competitors are good conventional restaurants and other
cafeterias.

The Company's facilities and food products are subject to state and local
health and sanitation laws. In addition, the Company's operations are subject
to Federal, state, and local regulations with respect to environmental and
safety matters, including regulations concerning air and water pollution and
regulations under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Federal
Occupational Safety and Health Act. Such laws and regulations, in the
Company's opinion, have not materially affected its operations, although
compliance has resulted in some increased costs.

Item 2. Properties.

The Company owns the underlying land and buildings in which 99 of its
cafeterias are located. In addition, the Company owns several cafeteria sites
being held for future development.

Of the 177 cafeterias operated by the Company, 78 are at locations held
under leases. Most of the leases provide for a combination of fixed-dollar
and percentage rentals. Most of the leases require the lessee to pay
additional amounts related to property taxes, hazard insurance, and
maintenance of common areas.

See Notes 4 and 7 of Notes to Financial Statements for information
concerning the Company's lease rental expenses, lease commitments, and
construction commitments. Of the 78 cafeteria leases, the current terms of 14
expire from 1994 to 1999, 24 from 2000 to 2004, and 40 thereafter. Fifty-nine
of the leases can be extended beyond their current terms at the Company's
option.

Of the 177 cafeterias operated by the Company, 46 are in regional
shopping malls. A typical cafeteria seats 250 to 300 persons and contains
9,000 to 10,500 square feet of floor space. Most of the cafeterias are
located in modern buildings and all are in good condition. It is the Company's
policy to refurbish and modernize cafeterias as necessary to maintain
their appearance and utility. The equipment in all cafeterias is well
maintained. Several of the Company's cafeteria properties contain excess
building space which is rented to tenants unaffiliated with the Company.

insurance on its properties in amounts which management believes to be
adequate.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the last three years the Company has financed all capital
expenditures from internally generated funds, cash equivalents, and short-term
borrowings. Capital expenditures for fiscal 1994 were $29,722,000, a 63%
increase from fiscal 1993. This increase in capital expenditures resulted in
part from the opening of eight new cafeterias in fiscal 1994 as compared to
six in fiscal 1993. The Company also purchased five sites as land held for
future use compared to one land site purchased during fiscal 1993. The
purchase of two cafeteria properties, one in Mission, Kansas, and one in
San Antonio, Texas, is also included in capital expenditures for fiscal 1994.
These two cafeterias will reopen in fiscal 1995 after extensive renovation.

Capital commitments budgeted for fiscal 1995 include the opening of
fifteen new cafeterias: nine on sites owned by the Company, two on land held
under long-term ground leases, and four in regional shopping malls. One of
these new cafeterias will be for the relocation of an existing unit located on
leased premises. Therefore, a net increase of fourteen cafeterias is
anticipated in fiscal 1995. Construction costs for the new cafeterias are
expected to be funded by cash flow from operations, cash currently held in
cash equivalent investments, and short-term borrowings. In addition, as of
August 31, 1994, the Company owned 15 undeveloped cafeteria sites, and several
land site acquisitions were in varying stages of negotiation.

The Company generated cash from operations of $52,146,000 in fiscal 1994.
The Company had a balance of $17,000,000 outstanding at August 31, 1994, under
a $30,000,000 line-of-credit agreement with a bank. At August 31, 1994, the
Company had a working capital deficit of $38,228,000 which compares to the
prior year's working capital of $494,000. The working capital position
declined during fiscal 1994 due primarily to the decrease in cash and cash
equivalents of $23,396,000 and the short-term borrowings under the line of
credit to fund capital expenditures and treasury stock purchases.


During fiscal 1994 the Company purchased 2,268,300 shares of its common
stock at a cost of $51,490,000, which are being held as treasury stock. The
Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of an additional 2,000,000
shares through December 31, 1995.

The Company believes that funds generated from operations and short-term
or long-term financing from external sources, which can be obtained on terms
acceptable to the Company in the event such financing is required, are
adequate for its foreseeable needs.

Results of Operations

Fiscal 1994 Compared to Fiscal 1993

Sales increased $22,935,000, or 6%, due in part to the addition of eight
new cafeterias in fiscal 1994 and six cafeterias in fiscal 1993. The average
sales volume of cafeterias opened over one year increased to $2,287,000 in
fiscal 1994 from $2,223,000 in fiscal 1993. The increase resulted from the
implementation of new marketing programs and from improved economies in some
trade areas.

Cost of food increased $5,266,000, or 6%, due primarily to the increase
in sales. Payroll and related costs increased $5,310,000, or 5%, with the
opening of eight new cafeterias. During the past several years, the Company
has instituted various programs to address the related payroll cost of
workers' compensation insurance; and these efforts, coupled with the revised
Texas workers' compensation law, resulted in lower workers' compensation costs
during fiscal 1994. The Company expects this downward trend in workers'
compensation costs to stabilize during fiscal 1995. As a percent of sales,
workers' compensation costs in fiscal 1995 should remain level or increase
slightly over fiscal 1994. Occupancy and other operating expenses increased
$8,588,000, or 8%, due primarily to the increase in sales; the opening of
eight new cafeterias; higher advertising expenditures; and higher managers'
salaries, which were based on the profitability of the cafeterias. During
fiscal 1995 the Company has budgeted advertising expense at 2% of sales, up
from 1.7% in fiscal 1994. General and administrative expenses decreased
$637,000, or 4%, due primarily to the lower Company contribution to the profit
sharing and retirement plan as determined by the plan's provisions. The
decline was partially offset by higher costs under employee benefit plans
which were based on the earnings growth of the Company. For fiscal 1995 the
Company estimates that its contribution to the profit sharing and retirement
plan as determined by the plan's provisions will increase by approximately
$2,500,000 over fiscal 1994.

The provision for income taxes increased $1,976,000, or 10%, due to
higher income from operations and the new federal income tax rates that were
effective January 1, 1993. The Company's effective income tax rate increased
from 36.8% in fiscal 1993 to 37.5% in fiscal 1994.

The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," in fiscal 1994, as discussed in Note 6
of Notes to Financial Statements.

Fiscal 1993 Compared to Fiscal 1992

Sales increased $21,398,000, or 6%, due primarily to the addition of six
new cafeterias in fiscal 1993 and twelve cafeterias in fiscal 1992. The
average sales volume of cafeterias opened over one year increased to
$2,223,000 in fiscal 1993 from $2,217,000 in fiscal 1992. The increase
resulted from the implementation of new marketing programs and from improved
economies in some trade areas.

Cost of food increased $6,450,000, or 7%, due primarily to the increase
in sales. Payroll and related costs increased $3,270,000, or 3%, with the
opening of six new cafeterias. During the past three fiscal years the
Company has instituted various programs to address the related payroll cost of
workers' compensation insurance; and these efforts, coupled with the revised
Texas workers' compensation law, resulted in lower workers' compensation costs
during fiscal 1993. Occupancy and other operating expenses increased
$5,368,000, or 5%, due primarily to the increase in sales; the opening of six
new cafeterias; higher advertising expenditures; and higher managers'
salaries, which were based on the profitability of the cafeterias. General
and administrative expenses increased $866,000, or 6%, due primarily to higher
costs under employee benefit plans which were based on the earnings growth of
the Company.

The provision for income taxes increased $2,763,000, or 15%, due to
higher income from operations, the new Texas corporate income tax that was
effective January 1, 1992, and the new federal income tax rates that were
effective retroactively to January 1, 1993. The Company's effective income
tax rate increased from 35.5% in fiscal 1992 to 36.8% in fiscal 1993.

Inflation

The Company's policy is to maintain stable menu prices without regard to
seasonal variations in food costs. General increases in costs of food, wages,
supplies, and services make it necessary for the Company to increase its menu
prices from time to time. With the moderation of inflation from 1992 through
1994, increases in menu prices were less frequent than in previous periods.
To the extent prevailing market conditions allow, the Company intends to
adjust menu prices to maintain profit margins.

supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Luby's Cafeterias,
Inc. at August 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 1994, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, in 1994 the Company
changed its method of accounting for income taxes.

Luby's Cafeterias, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
August 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Inventories

The food and supply inventories are stated at the lower of cost
(first-in, first-out) or market.

Depreciation and Amortization

Luby's Cafeterias, Inc. (the Company) depreciates the cost of plant and
equipment over their estimated useful lives using both straight-line and
accelerated methods. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the related
lease lives, which are in some cases shorter than the estimated useful lives
of the improvements.

Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Preopening Expenses

New store preopening costs are expensed as incurred.

2. Property, Plant, and Equipment

The cost and accumulated depreciation of property, plant, and equipment
at August 31, 1994 and 1993, together with the related estimated useful lives
used in computing depreciation and amortization, are reflected below:

________ ________

Total interest expense incurred for 1994, 1993, and 1992 was $288,000,
$327,000, and $330,000, respectively, which approximated the amount paid in
each year. Substantially all of these amounts were capitalized on qualifying
properties in each of the respective years.

3. Debt

The Company has a $50,000,000 credit facility with a bank. As part of
this credit agreement, the Company has a $30,000,000 line-of-credit which
expires in January 1995. The Company began borrowing under this agreement in
February 1994. As of August 31, 1994, the balance outstanding was
$17,000,000, which was the maximum amount outstanding during the period. The
average amount outstanding during the year and the weighted average interest
rate based on the number of days outstanding were $4,485,000 and 4.6%,
respectively.

The credit facility also provides a maximum commitment for letters of
credit of $20,000,000. At August 31, 1994, letters of credit of approximately
$10,008,000 have been issued as security for the payment of insurance
obligations carried on the balance sheet.

4. Leases

The Company conducts a major part of its operations from facilities which
are leased under noncancelable lease agreements. Most of the leases are for
periods of ten to twenty-five years and provide for contingent rentals based
on sales in excess of a base amount. Approximately 80% of the leases contain
renewal options ranging from five to thirty years.

Annual future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases
as of August 31, 1994, are as follows:

5. Employee Benefit Plans and Agreements

Incentive Compensation

The Company has various incentive compensation plans covering officers
and other key employees that are based upon the achievement of specified
earnings goals and performance factors. Awards under the plans are payable in
cash and/or in shares of common stock. Charges to expense for current and
future distributions under the plans amounted to $1,481,000, $1,098,000, and
$242,000 in 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. No shares of common stock
have been issued under the plans during the three-year period ended August 31,
1994.

Stock Option Plans

The Company has an Employee Stock Option Plan for executive and other key
salaried employees. Under the terms of the stock option plan, nonqualified
options and incentive stock options totaling 225,000 shares of the Company's
common stock may be granted at prices not less than 100% of fair market value
at date of grant. Options are exercisable for such periods as the
Compensation Committee shall determine, but not for more than ten years from
date of grant.

In 1990 the Company adopted a new Management Incentive Stock Plan to
replace the current Employee Stock Option Plan and to provide for market-based
incentive awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock, and performance share awards. Under the terms of the
Management Incentive Stock Plan, nonqualified options and incentive stock
options totaling 2,700,000 shares of the Company's common stock are reserved
for grants to the officer group, certain administrative personnel, and
cafeteria management personnel. Stock options may be granted at prices not
less than 100% of fair market value at date of grant. Options granted to the
participants of the plan are exercisable over staggered periods and expire,
depending upon the type of grant, in five to seven years. The plan provides
for various vesting methods, depending upon the category of personnel.

Following is a summary of activity in the stock option plans for the
three years ended August 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992:

Deferred Compensation

Deferred compensation agreements exist for several key management
employees, all of whom are officers and/or directors. Under the agreements,
the Company is obligated to provide for each such employee or his
beneficiaries, during a period of ten years after the employee's death,
disability, or retirement, annual benefits ranging from $15,500 to $43,400.
The estimated present value of future benefits to be paid is being accrued
over the period from the effective date of the agreements until the
expected retirement dates of the participants. The net expense incurred for
this plan for the years ended August 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992 amounted to
$78,000, $76,000, and $25,000, respectively.

Profit Sharing

The Company has a profit sharing plan and retirement trust covering
substantially all employees who have attained the age of 21 years and have
completed two years of continuous service. The plan is administered by a
corporate trustee, is a "qualified plan" under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code, and provides for the payment of the employee's vested portion of
the plan upon retirement, termination, disability, or death. The plan is
funded by contributions of a portion of the net earnings of the Company. The
plan provides that for each fiscal year in which the Company's net income
(before income taxes and before any contribution to the plan) meets certain
minimum standards, the Company is obligated to contribute to the plan, at a
minimum, an amount equal to a defined percentage of the participants'
compensation. In no event will the required contribution exceed 10% of the
Company's income before income taxes and before any contribution to the plan.
The Company's annual contribution to the plan amounted to $1,886,000,
$2,942,000, and $2,170,000 for 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively.

6. Income Taxes

Effective September 1, 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Under Statement No. 109, the liability method
is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, 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. Prior to the adoption of
Statement No. 109, income tax expense was determined using the deferred
method. Deferred tax expense was based on items of income and expense that
were reported in different years in the financial statements and tax returns
and were measured at the tax rate in effect in the year the difference
originated.

As permitted by Statement No. 109, the Company has elected not to restate
the financial statements of any prior years. The effect of the change on
pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended August 31, 1994
and 1993 was not material; however, the cumulative effect of the change
increased net income by $1,563,000, or $.06 per share.

The tax effect of temporary differences results in deferred income tax
assets and liabilities as follows:
August 31, 1994

$ 1,167 $18,065

The above amounts aggregate to a current deferred tax asset of $259,000
and to a noncurrent deferred tax liability of $17,157,000 at August 31, 1994.

The components of deferred income tax expense for 1993 and 1992 as
recorded prior to the adoption of Statement No. 109 are as follows:

The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 increased the federal tax
rate to 35% beginning January 1, 1993. Accordingly, a blend of the old and
new rates is used for the tax year ended August 31, 1993. The reconciliation
of the provision for income taxes to the expected income tax expense (computed
using the statutory tax rate) is as follows:

Deferred income taxes payable, net of the current deferred tax asset,
amounted to $16,898,000 and $14,707,000 at August 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

Cash payments for income taxes for 1994, 1993, and 1992 were $18,752,000,
$20,611,000, and $17,842,000, respectively.

7. Commitments

At August 31, 1994, the Company had five cafeterias under construction.
The aggregate unexpended costs under the construction contracts were
approximately $3,199,000.

The Company has unconditionally guaranteed a $2,000,000 loan under a line
of credit for an unrelated limited partnership in exchange for advertising
rights and a participation in future profits of the venture.

8. Common Stock

In 1991, the Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan and
declared a dividend of one common stock purchase right for each outstanding
share of common stock. The rights are not initially exercisable. The rights
may become exercisable under circumstances described in the Plan if any person
or group (an Acquiring Person) becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of
the common stock. Once the rights become exercisable, each right will be
exercisable to purchase, for $27.50 (the Purchase Price), one-half of one
share of common stock, par value $.32 per share, of the Company. If any
person becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the common stock, each
right will entitle the holder, other than the Acquiring Person, to purchase
for the Purchase Price a number of shares of the Company's common stock having
a market value of four times the Purchase Price.

During fiscal 1994, the Company purchased 2,268,300 shares of its common
stock at a cost of $51,490,000, which are being held as treasury stock.
During September 1994, the Company announced that the Board of Directors
authorized the purchase in the open market of an additional 2,000,000 shares
of the Company's outstanding common stock. If not extended, the purchase
program will be discontinued on December 31, 1995.

9. Per Share Information

The weighted average number of shares used in the net income per share
computation was 25,981,840 for 1994, 27,194,502 for 1993, and 27,344,397 for
1992.

10. Business Segments

The Company operates exclusively in the domestic cafeteria business.
