Luby’s, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
 
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Luby’s, Inc. (the “Company”, "we", "our", "us", 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 our 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 interim periods ended June 3, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending August 26, 2020.
On June 3, 2020, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a course of action whereby we will immediately pursue the sale of our operating divisions and assets, including our real estate assets, or the sale of the Company in its entirety, and distribute the net proceeds to our stockholders after payment of debt and other obligations. During the sale process, many of our restaurants will remain open.

We have not established a definitive timeframe for completing this process which will most likely lead to the adoption by the Board of Directors of a formal plan of sale and proceeds distribution followed by an orderly wind down of any remaining operations. Such a plan of sale and proceeds distribution will require shareholder approval. There can be no assurance that such a plan of sale and proceeds distribution will be adopted by the Board of Directors or approved by the shareholders.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. See Note 3. Going Concern.

The consolidated balance sheet dated August 28, 2019, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”), has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. However, this Form 10-Q does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited, year-end financial statements. Therefore, these25, 2021. 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 28, 2019.26, 2020.
Prior to Adoption of the Plan of Liquidation
The consolidated financial statements prior to November 19, 2020 were prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Plan of Liquidation
On November 17, 2020 our shareholders approved the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution (the “Plan of Liquidation“ or the “Plan”). The Plan provides for an orderly sale of our businesses, operations, and real estate, payment of our liabilities and other obligations, and an orderly wind down of any remaining operations and dissolution of the Company. We intend to attempt to convert all of our assets into cash, satisfy or resolve our remaining liabilities and obligations, including contingent liabilities, claims and costs associated with the liquidation of the Company, and then file a certificate of dissolution with the state of Delaware. The assets to be sold include our Luby's Cafeterias, Fuddruckers, and Culinary Contract Services ("CCS") operating divisions, as well as our real estate. We currently anticipate that our common stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") upon the filing of the certificate of dissolution, which is not expected to occur until the earlier of the completion of all or substantially all of the asset sales or three years. The delisting of our common stock may occur sooner in accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE.
Following the Adoption of the Plan of Liquidation
We have determined, as a result of the approval of the Plan by our shareholders, that liquidation is imminent, as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-30 Financial Statement Presentation, Liquidation Basis of Accounting ("ASC 205-30"). Liquidation is considered imminent when the likelihood is remote that we will return from liquidation and either (a) the Plan is approved by the person or persons with the authority to make such a plan effective and the likelihood is remote that the execution of the Plan will be blocked by other parties, or (b) the Plan is being imposed by other forces (for example, involuntary bankruptcy).
Accordingly, we have changed our basis of accounting from the going concern basis to the liquidation basis effective November 19, 2020. Although shareholder approval of the Plan occurred on November 17, 2020, we are using the liquidation basis of accounting effective November 19, 2020 as a convenience date. Any activity between November 17, 2020 and November 19, 2020 would not be materially different under the liquidation basis of accounting.
The liquidation basis of accounting differs significantly from the going concern basis, as summarized below.
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows are no longer presented.
The liquidation basis of accounting requires a statement of net assets in liquidation, a statement of changes in net assets in liquidation and all disclosures necessary to present relevant information about our expected resources in liquidation. The liquidation basis of accounting may only be applied prospectively from the day liquidation becomes imminent and the initial statement of changes in net assets in liquidation may present only changes in net assets that occurred during the period since that date.
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, our assets are measured at their estimated net realizable value, or liquidation value, which represents the amount of their estimated cash proceeds or other consideration from liquidation, based on current contracts, estimates and other indications of sales value, and may include previously unrecognized assets that we may expect to either sell in the course of our liquidation or use in settling liabilities, such as trademarks or other intangibles. In developing these estimates, we utilized third party valuation experts, investment bankers, real estate brokers, the expertise of members of the Special Committee of our Board of Directors, and forecasts generated by our management. For estimated real estate values, we considered comparable sales transactions, our past experience selling real estate assets of the Company and, in certain
10


instances, indicative offers, as well as capitalization rates observed for income-producing real estate. For estimated business unit valuations we considered estimated values of the economic components of possible transactions, the value of a buyer assuming certain liabilities in a purchase transaction, and, in certain instances, indicative offers, as well as the probabilities of certain outcomes. Estimates for the liquidation value of the business units, or subset of operating restaurants, were also tested for reasonableness through a multiple of historical and projected business cash flows. All estimates by nature involve a large degree of judgement and sensitivity to the underlying assumptions.
The liquidation basis of accounting requires us to accrue and present separately, without discounting, the estimated disposal and other costs, including any costs associated with the sale or settlement of our assets and liabilities and the estimated operating income or loss that we reasonably expect to incur, including providing for federal income taxes during the remaining expected duration of the liquidation period. In addition, deferred tax assets previously provided for under the going concern basis of accounting, which include net operating losses and other tax credits, may be realized partially or in full, subject to IRS limitations, to offset taxable income we expect to generate from the liquidation process.
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we recognize liabilities as they would have been recognized under the going concern basis as adjusted for the timing assumptions related to the liquidation process and they will not be reduced to expected settlement values prior to settlement.
These estimates will be periodically reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. There can be no assurance that these estimated values will be realized. Such amounts should not be taken as an indication of the timing or the amount of future distributions or our actual dissolution.
The valuation of our assets and liabilities, as described above, represents estimates, based on present facts and circumstances, of the net realizable value of the assets and costs associated with carrying out the Plan. The actual values and costs associated with carrying out the Plan may differ from amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because of the Plan's inherent uncertainty. These differences may be material. In particular, these estimates will vary with the length of time necessary to complete the Plan. It is currently anticipated that a majority of our assets will be sold by December 31, 2021, with a final liquidation by June 30, 2022; however, it is likely that the full realization of proceeds from these sales will extend beyond that date.
Net assets in liquidation represents the estimated liquidation value to holders of common shares upon liquidation. It is not possible to predict with certainty the timing or aggregate amount which may ultimately be distributed to our shareholders and no assurance can be given that the distributions will equal or exceed the estimate presented in these consolidated financial statements.
COVID-19
The novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic has had a significant impact on our level of operations, guest behavior, guest traffic, and the number of locations where we and our Fuddruckers franchisees operate. As a result, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020, we modified our business operations within our restaurants and significantly reduced staffing at our corporate support office.
On March 13, 2020, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the remainder of calendar 2020, we cycled through periods initially when state government orders mandated a suspension of on-premise dining, followed by periods when our on-premise dining capacity was limited due to government order, a condition that continues at certain locations through the date of this filing. Prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic we operated 118 restaurants. As of March 10, 2021, we operated 81 restaurants (58 Luby’s cafeterias and 23 Fuddruckers restaurants). Additionally, our Fuddruckers franchisees operated 90 locations prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and operated 72 restaurants as of March 10, 2021.
Vaccines for COVID-19 were first made available in the United States ("U.S.") in December 2020 with increasing rates of vaccination in the U.S. population with each passing month. Additionally, in March 2021, restaurants in our core Texas market were permitted to return to utilization of 100% of seating capacity. Furthermore, the U.S. Treasury provided a new round of stimulus through direct payments to U.S. citizens. As we execute on our Plan of Liquidation, we are still operating a number of restaurants as described above. Uncertainty remains regarding the continued rate of immunization in the public, timing of an economic recovery, and changed guest decision-making with regard to dining in restaurants. The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to materially impact our cash flows and value of net assets in liquidation, while we execute on our Plan of Liquidation.

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. However, every fifth or sixth year, we have a fiscal year that consists of 53 weeks, accounting for 371 days in the aggregate. The first fiscal quarter consists of four four-week periods, or 16 weeks, and the remaining three quarters typically include three four-week periods, or 12 weeks, in length. The fourth fiscal quarter includes 13 weeks in certain fiscal years to adjust for our standard 52 week, or 364 day, fiscal year compared to the 365 day calendar year.

Reportable Segments
EachPrior to the shareholder approval of the Plan, each restaurant iswas considered an operating segment because operating results and cash flow can be determined for each restaurant. We aggregateaggregated our operating segments into reportable segments by restaurant brand due to the nature of the products and services, the production processes, the customers, the methods used to distribute the products and services, the similarity of store level profit margins and the nature of the regulatory environment are alike. The Company hashad 5 reportable segments: Luby’s cafeterias, Fuddruckers restaurants, Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant, Fuddruckers franchise operations, and Culinary Contract Services (“CCS”).

PriorCCS. Although we continue to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019operate our internal organizationrestaurant, franchise and reporting structure supported 3 reportable segments; Company-owned restaurants, Franchise operations and Culinary Contract Services. The Company-owned restaurants consisted of the three brands discussed above, which were aggregated into one reportable segment.  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019CCS businesses, we re-evaluated and disaggregated the Company-owned restaurants into 3 reportable segments based on brand name.  As such,no longer make operating decisions or assess performance by segment, as of the fourth quarter 2019, our 5 reportable segments are Luby’s cafeterias, Fuddruckers restaurants, Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants, Fuddruckers franchise operations and Culinary Contract Services. Management believes this change better reflects the priorities and decision-making analysis around the allocation of our resources and better aligns to the economic characteristics within similar restaurant brands. We began reporting on the new structure in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 as reflected in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The segment data for the comparable periods of fiscal 2019 has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. Recasting this historical information did not have an impact on the consolidated financial performance of Luby’s Inc. for any of the periods presented.

Other Charges

Other charges includes those expenses that we consider related to our restructuring efforts or are not part of our recurring operations. These expenses were included in our Selling, general, and administrative cost expense line in previously reported quarters of fiscal 2019. See Note 8 to these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On August 29, 2019, the first day of fiscal 2020, (the "Effective Date") we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), along with related clarifications and improvements (“ASC 842”). ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize, on their consolidated balance sheet, a liability for lease obligations, which represents the discounted obligation to make future lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use asset. The guidance requires lessors to classify leases as sales-type, direct financing or operating. The pronouncement also requires disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements that is intended to give financial statement users the ability to assess the amount, timing, and potential uncertainty of cash flows related to leases. We have implemented a new lease tracking and accounting system in connection with the adoption of ASC 842.

We elected the optional transition method to apply ASC 842 as of the effective date and therefore, we have not applied the standard to the comparative periods presented on our consolidated financial statements. We also elected the package of practical expedients that allowed us not to reassess previous accounting conclusions regarding lease identification, initial direct costs and classification for existing or expired leases as of the effective date. We did not elect the practical expedient that would have permitted us to use hindsight when determining the lease term, including option periods, and impairment of operating lease assets.

We have made an accounting policy election to account for lease components and non-lease components as a single lease component for all underlying classes of assets where (1) the lease component is predominant, (2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease and (3) the timing and pattern of the lease component and non-lease component are the same. We have also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all of our leases that allows us to not recognize right-of-use assets and related liabilitiesbusinesses are now considered held for leases with an initial term of 12 months or lesssale. Accordingly, effective November 19, 2020, we have only 1 reporting and that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that we are reasonably certain to exercise. Our transition to ASC 842 represents a change in accounting principle.

Upon adoption of ASC 842, we recorded operating lease liabilities of approximately $32.5 million based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using discount rates as of the effective date. The current portion of the operating lease liabilities recorded was approximately $8.1 million. In addition, we recorded operating lease right-of-use assets of approximately $27.2 million, calculated as the initial amount of the operating lease liability, adjusted for amounts reclassified from other lease related asset and liability accounts (such as prepaid rent, favorable and unfavorable lease intangibles and straight-line rent timing differences), in accordance with the new guidance, and impairment of certain right-of-use assets recognized as a charge to retained earnings as of the effective date.

On the effective date, we recorded the $1.0 million net cumulative effect of the adoption as an increase to retained earnings. Included in the net cumulative effect was an adjustment of approximately $2.0 million to clear the unamortized balance for deferred gains from sale / leaseback transactions. For most future sale / leaseback transactions, the gain (adjusted for any off-market items) will be recognized immediately in the period that the sale / leaseback transaction occurs.

New Accounting Pronouncements - "to be Adopted"

There are no issued accounting pronouncements that we have yetare applicable or relevant to adopt that we believe would have a material effect on our financial statements.

us under the liquidation basis of accounting.
Subsequent Events
We evaluated events subsequent to June 3, 2020March 10, 2021 through the date the financial statements were issued to determine if the nature and significance of the events warrant inclusion in our consolidated financial statements.
On March 16, 2021, we entered into franchise agreements with a third-party to take over the operations at 8 company owned Fuddruckers restaurants. On April 1, 2021, we entered into a franchise agreement with the same third-party to take over the operations at 1 additional company owned Fuddruckers restaurant. The new operator has assumed the lease obligation or ownership of the tenant entity at each of these 9 locations. On April 23, 2021, we entered into franchise agreements with the same third-party to take over the operations at 2 additional company owned Fuddruckers restaurants and we entered into a management agreement with the same third-party to take over the operations at 1 additional Fuddruckers restaurant. At March 10, 2021, in contemplation of the completion of these transactions, we increased the liquidation value of our properties and business units held for sale by $3.4 million.
On April 5, 2021, we closed on the sale of 1 of our properties for a gross sale price that exceeded our previously reported liquidation value for this asset. In contemplation of the completion of this transaction, we increased the liquidation value of our properties and business units held for sale by $0.8 million at March 10, 2021.

Note 2. COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 Pandemic
12
On March 13, 2020, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency in response to the novel coronavirus disease ("COVID-19") pandemic. On March 19, 2020, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas issued a public health disaster for the state of Texas to bring the entire state in line with CDC guidelines including, (1) closing of schools statewide, (2) ban on dine-in eating and gatherings of groups of more than 10 people, and (3) closing of gyms and bars. Governor Abbott followed with an essential services order on March 31, 2020, requiring anyone who is not considered an essential, critical infrastructure worker to stay home except for essential activity, essential businesses, essential government functions and critical care facilities. Most other states, including those states where we operate, issued similar orders. The governor of Texas began relaxing some restrictions on businesses operating in Texas beginning May 1, 2020, which permitted a gradual reopening of businesses, including restaurants, with modified operations..
The spread of COVID-19 has affected the United States economy, our operations and those of third parties on which we rely. Beginning on March 17, 2020, we began suspending on-premise dining at our restaurants and substantially all employees at those locations were placed on furlough. By March 31, 2020 we had suspended on-premise dining at all 118 of our company-owned restaurants and had suspended all operations at 50 of our Luby's Cafeteria's, 36 company-owned Fuddruckers restaurants and our 1 Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant. The 28 Luby's Cafeteria's and 3 Fuddruckers restaurants that remained open were providing take-out, drive-through and curbside pickup, or delivery with reduced operating hours and on-site staff. In

addition, more than 50 percentNote 2. Liability for Estimated Costs in Excess of Estimated Receipts During Liquidation
The liquidation basis of accounting requires us to estimate net cash flows from operations and to accrue all costs associated with implementing and completing the plan of liquidation. We project that we will have estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during the liquidation period. These amounts can vary significantly due to, among other things, the timing and estimates for receipts and costs associated with the operations of our business units until they are sold, the timing of business and property sales, estimates of direct costs incurred to complete the sales, the timing and amounts associated with discharging known and contingent liabilities, the costs associated with the winding up of operations, and other costs that we may incur which are not currently foreseeable. These receipts and accruals will be adjusted periodically as projections and assumptions change. These receipts and costs are estimated and are anticipated to be collected and paid out over the liquidation period. Upon transition to the liquidation basis of accounting on November 19, 2020, the Company accrued revenues and expenses expected to be earned or incurred during liquidation. The liability for estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation at March 10, 2021 and November 19, 2020 was comprised of (in thousands):

Note 3. Net Assets in Liquidation
The following is a reconciliation of total shareholders’ equity under the going concern basis of accounting as of November 18, 2020 to net assets in liquidation under the liquidation basis of accounting as of November 19, 2020 (in thousands):
Total Shareholders' Equity as of November 18, 2020$70,763 
Increase due to estimated net realizable value of properties and business units (1)
78,985 
Decrease due to write-off of deferred financing costs(2,260)

Adjustment to reflect the change to the liquidation basis of accounting46,578 
Estimated value of net assets in liquidation as of November 19, 2020$117,341 
(1) Under liquidation basis of accounting, all assets are recorded at net realizable value which implicitly includes the tangible and other salaried employees, includingintangible value of all senior management. Furthermore,assets. This adjustment at November 19, 2020 reflects adjusting real properties to net realizable value and recording an estimated value for our business units, Luby's Cafeterias, Fuddruckers restaurants and franchise owners suspended operations, and Culinary Contract Services.
Net assets in liquidation increased by $5.2 million during the period from November 19, 2020 through March 10, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a $4.5 million increase in properties and business units for sale and a $0.7 million net increase due to a remeasurement of assets and liabilities. The increase in properties and business units for sale was due to a $3.4 million increase in value attributable to the contemplated sale and conversion to franchise locations of 9 Fuddruckers restaurants that was completed subsequent to March 10, 2021, and a $1.5 million increase in value attributable to properties that have closed, or movedare under contract to limited food-to-go operationssell with non-refundable deposits, at their locations, reducingprices that exceeded our previous liquidation values. This increase was partially offset by a $0.4 million reduction in value for one of our real estate assets.
We have one class of common stock. The net assets in liquidation at March 10, 2021 would result in liquidating distributions of approximately $3.98 per common share based on the number of franchise locationscommon shares outstanding at that date. This estimate is dependent on projections of costs and expenses to be incurred during the period required to complete the Plan and the realization of estimated net realizable value of our properties and business units. There is inherent uncertainty with these estimates, and they could change materially based on the timing of business and property sales, the performance of the underlying assets, any changes in operation to 37 by earlythe underlying assumptions of the projected cash flows, as well as the ultimate vesting of outstanding restricted share awards and exercise of vested stock options. The estimated liquidating distributions per share on a fully diluted basis, assuming all restricted stock awards vest and all in-the-money stock options are exercised, is not materially different than the amount stated above. No assurance can be given that the liquidating distributions will equal or exceed the estimate presented in these consolidated financial statements.
PPP Loan
As discussed in more detail at Note 15. Debt, in April 2020 from 90 priorwe received a $10.0 million PPP Loan. In November 2020 we submitted an application for forgiveness of the full $10.0 million. While we believe that we qualify for full forgiveness pursuant to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Beginning in May 2020,terms of the loan agreement, under the liquidation basis of accounting we began to gradually reopenmust account for the dining rooms with state-mandated limits on guest capacityliability at the 28 Luby's locationsfull $10.0 million face amount until such time as the forgiveness has been approved by the Small Business Administration ("SBA") and 3 Fuddruckers locations that hadthe loan has been previously operating with food-to-go service only. We also began to reopen restaurants that were temporarily closed. Assettled. 
Lease Obligations
Under both the going concern basis of June 3, 2020, there were 31 Luby's Cafeteria'saccounting and 8 Fuddruckers restaurants operating, allthe liquidation basis of which had their dining rooms openaccounting, lease obligations are recorded at limited capacity. There were 59 franchise locations in operation asthe present value of June 3, 2020. We are continuing the gradual reopening of our restaurants andtotal fixed lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term using discount rates as of the effective date of this filing there were 46 Luby's Cafeteria'sthe lease and 17 Fuddruckers Restaurants operating with dining rooms open at limited capacity and there were 64 franchise locations in operation.
We considered the disruptions to our operations and cash flows from the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in this fiscal quarter, to be triggering events for purposes of testing our long-lived assets,obligation is reduced as well as goodwill, for impairment. See "Note 12. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Discontinued Operations and Property Held for Sale."
The full extent and durationwe make lease payments. As a result of the impactsame accounting treatment, there is no reconciling entry to adjust total shareholders’ equity under the going concern basis of accounting as of November 18, 2020 to net assets in liquidation under the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial performance is currently unknown, and depends on future developments that are uncertain and unpredictable, includingliquidation basis of accounting as of November 19, 2020.
During the duration of the spread of the pandemic, its impact on capital and financial markets on a macro-scale and any new information that may emerge concerning the severity of the virus, its spread to other regions, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and consumer attitudes and behaviors, among others. The COVID-19 pandemic has materially disrupted our operations and cash flows for the thirdfourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and has resultedthe first two quarters of fiscal 2021, we were able to settle 27 leases for closed restaurant properties and negotiated an early termination date and reduced lease payment at 1 operating restaurant property. While the amounts paid to settle our lease liabilities varied, in the recording of additional non-cash impairment charges related to our property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets related to our restaurants and goodwill.
Given the uncertainty regarding the spread of this virus and the timingaggregate, we have settled these 27 leases for approximately 21% of the economic recovery,total undiscounted base rent payments that would otherwise have been due under the COVID-19 pandemic couldleases through their original contractual termination date. We can offer no assurances that we will continue to materially impact our results of operations and cash flows.settle any lease obligations for less than the total undiscounted base rent payments, or for less than their discounted value recorded within net assets in liquidation.
See Note 3. Going Concern.
Payroll Protection Plan (PPP) Loan and Credit Facility Debt Modification
As more fully discussed at "Note 15. Debt", in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 we entered into a promissory note in the amount of $10.0 million (the "PPP Loan"). In conjunction with the entering into the PPP Loan, we amended our credit facility to permit us to incur indebtedness under the PPP Loan and to terminate the $5.0 million undrawn portion of the delayed draw term loan upon receipt of the PPP Loan.

Note 3. Going Concern
We sustained a net loss of $15.2 million and cash flow from operations was a use of cash of $13.1 million in fiscal year ended August 28, 2019. In the two quarters ended March 11, 2020 (a period prior to the COVID-19 pandemic), we sustained a net loss of $12.1 million and cash flow from operations was a use of cash of $5.9 million. In the quarter ended June 3, 2020 we sustained a net loss of $25.0 million and for the three quarters ended June 3, 2020 our cash flow from operations was a use of cash of $14.1 million. On March 13, 2020, shortly after the end of our second quarter, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic followed by Governor Greg Abbott of Texas issuing a public health disaster for the state of Texas on March 19, 2020. We took the necessary actions described in "Note 2. COVID-19 Pandemic" which further stressed the liquid financial resources of the Company. We borrowed the remaining $1.4 million available on our revolving line of credit with MSD Capital, borrowed $2.5 million on our Delayed Draw Term Loan, and applied for and received a $10.0 million PPP Loan as described in "Note 2. COVID-19 Pandemic". As of the date of this filing, we have 0 undrawn borrowing capacity under our credit facility. Further, we do not believe that we are currently able to secure any additional debt financing.

The full extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial performance is currently unknown. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations and its ability to generate proceeds from real estate property sales to meet its obligations. The above conditions and events, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding the aforementioned substantial doubt, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern Management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as
11


a going concern as of the balance sheet date, and for at least one year beyond the financial statement issuance date. The assessment of a company’s ability to meet its obligations is inherently judgmental.
On June 3, 2020, the Company announced that the Board of Directors of the Company will aggressively pursue a sale of the Company's operations and assets and distribute the net proceeds to our stockholders, after payment of debt and other obligations. This course of action is more fully explained in "Note 1 - Basis of Presentation". We have not established a timeframe, nor have we committed to a specific plan, but such a plan could extend beyond one year. Until a formal plan of sale and proceeds distribution is approved, we believe we will be able to meet our obligations for the next 12 months when they come due through (1) cash flow from operating certain restaurants, (2) available cash balances, and (3) proceeds generated from real estate property sales as discussed below.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have reviewed and modified many aspects of our operating plan within our restaurants and corporate overhead. The Company is now operating at an increased level of operational cost efficiency. These efforts are expected to partially mitigate the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the sale of some assets will likely be necessary for the Company to generate cash to fund its operations. The Company has historically been able to successfully generate proceeds from property sales. Although the Company has been successful in these endeavors in the past, there are no assurances the Company will generate sufficient funds to meet all its obligations as they become due. The following conditions were considered in management’s evaluation of going concern and its efforts to mitigate that concern:
Revamped restaurant operations to generate cost efficiencies, which resulted in higher restaurant operating margins even while sales levels have not returned to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. As the restaurants adapted to the new operating environment, a lower cost labor model was deployed, food costs declined as menu offerings were concentrated among the historically top selling items, and various restaurant service and supplier costs were reevaluated.
Restructured corporate overhead earlier in calendar 2020 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, including a transition to third party provider for certain accounting and payroll functions. Significant further restructuring took place in April, May and June of 2020, as we reviewed all corporate service providers, information technology needs, and personnel requirements to support a reduced level of operations going forward.
Secured the PPP Loan which was necessary for funding continuing operations. We believe that a portion of the PPP loan will be eligible for forgiveness; however, that amount cannot currently be calculated.
In addition to the approximate $7.2 million proceeds from property sales achieved in fiscal 2020 through the third quarter, we generated an additional $10.7 million proceeds from property sales in June 2020 and anticipate an additional $9.2 million in proceeds from property sales before the end of fiscal 2020 in August.
We believe these plans are sufficient to overcome the significant doubt whether we can meet our liquidity needs for the 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements. However, we cannot predict with certainty that these efforts will be successful or sufficient.

Note 5. Revenue Recognition

Under the going concern basis of accounting, we recognized revenue as described below. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we estimate the cash receipts from food and beverage sales at each of our restaurants, royalties and fees from our Fuddruckers franchisees, and fees under our culinary contract services ("CCS") contracts. We estimate these expected cash receipts from operating these businesses through the point when we expect the operations of these businesses or individual income producing properties are sold to a new owner or when we otherwise estimate operations cease. This estimated ending period for operating these businesses generally varies from third quarter fiscal 2021 through first quarter fiscal 2022. These estimated revenues are included in the calculation of estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts during liquidation on our consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation. Estimated proceeds from the sale of our operating businesses and real estate assets are recorded separately for the estimated operating revenues and are included in properties and business units for sale on our consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation.
Restaurant Sales
RestaurantUnder the going concern basis of accounting, restaurant sales consistconsisted of sales of food and beverage products to restaurant guests at our Luby’s Cafeteriascafeterias and our Fuddruckers and Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants. Revenue from restaurant sales iswas recognized at the point of sale and iswas presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals and complimentary meals. Sales taxes that we collectcollected and remitremitted to the appropriate taxing authority related to these sales arewere excluded from revenue. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we have estimated the sales to be collected at each restaurant through the point when we estimate that operations at each restaurant no longer occur under our ownership. This estimated point when we no longer operate restaurants varies based on whether the restaurant location is operated as a Luby's cafeteria or a Fuddruckers restaurant, whether the restaurant location is situated on property we own or lease, and other factors. However, it is estimated that, as we sell certain restaurants to new owners to steward the Luby's and Fuddruckers brands, most restaurant operations would no longer be owned by us by the end of fiscal 2021. During this holding period when we operate restaurants, sales are estimated based on recent sales history and consideration of historical seasonal patterns.
We sell gift cards to our customers in our venues and through certain third-party distributors. These gift cards do not expire and do not incur a service fee on unused balances. SalesUnder the going concern basis of accounting sales of gift cards to our restaurant customers arewere initially recorded as a contract liability, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities, at their expected redemption value. When gift cards arewere redeemed, we recognizerecognized revenue and reducereduced the contract liability. Discounts on gift cards sold by third parties arewere recorded as a reduction to accrued expenses and other liabilities and arewere recognized as a reduction to revenue over a period that approximatesapproximated redemption patterns. The portion of gift cards sold to customers that are never redeemed is commonly referred to as gift card breakage. We recognizerecognized gift card breakage revenue in proportion to the pattern of gift card redemptions exercised by our customers, using an estimated breakage rate based on our historical experience. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the unredeemed gift card balance, net of estimated breakage, is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation.
Culinary contract services

CCS revenue
Our Culinary Contract ServicesCCS segment provides food, beverage and catering services to our clients at their locations. Depending on the type of client and service, we are either paid directly by our client and/or directly by the customer to whom we have been provided access by our client.
We typically use one of the following types of client contracts:contracts in our CCS business:
Fee-Based Contracts
Revenue from fee-based contracts iswas based on our costs incurred and invoiced to the client for reimbursement along with the agreed management fee, which may be calculated as a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of sales or other variable measure. Some fee-based contracts entitle us to receive incentive fees based upon our performance under the contract, as measured by factors such as sales, operating costs and client satisfaction surveys. This potential incentive revenue iswas allocated entirely to the management services performance obligation. We recognizeUnder the going concern basis of accounting, we recognized revenue from our management fee and payroll cost reimbursement over time as the services are performed. We recognizewere performed; and we recognized revenue from our food and 3rdthird party purchases reimbursement at the point in time when the vendor deliversdelivered the goods or performsperformed the services.
Profit and Loss Contracts
Revenue from profit and loss contracts consistconsisted primarily of sales made to consumers, typically with little or no subsidy charged to clients. Revenue isUnder the going concern basis of accounting, revenue was recognized at the point of sale to the consumer. Sales taxes that we collectcollected and remitremitted to the appropriate taxing authority related to these sales arewere excluded from revenue.
As part of client contracts, we sometimes make payments to clients, such as concession rentals, vending commissions and profit share. These payments arewere accounted for as operating costs when incurred.
Revenue from the sale of frozen foods includesincluded royalty fees based on a percentage of frozen food sales and iswas recognized at the point in time when product iswas delivered by our contracted manufacturers to the retail outlet.
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we have estimated the cash receipts, based on recent cash collections and forecasted level of operations for our CCS contracts through the expected holding period for this business unit. The estimated cash receipts are included in the calculation of estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts on our consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation.
Franchise revenues
Franchise revenues consistconsisted primarily of royalties, marketing and advertising fund (“MAF”) contributions, initial and renewal franchise fees, and upfront fees from area development agreements related to our Fuddruckers restaurant brand. Our performance obligations under franchise agreements consist of: (1) a franchise license, including a license to use our brand and MAF management, (2) pre-opening services, such as training and inspections and (3) ongoing services, such as development of training materials and menu items as well as restaurant monitoring and inspections. These performance obligations are highly interrelated, so we do not consider them to be individually distinct. We accountaccounted for them as a single performance obligation, which iswas satisfied over time by providing a right to use our intellectual property over the term of each franchise agreement.
Royalties, including franchisee MAF contributions, are calculated as a percentage of franchise restaurant sales. MAF contributions paid by franchisees are used for the creation and development of brand advertising, marketing and public relations, merchandising research and related programs, activities and materials. The initial franchisee fee is payable upon execution of the franchise agreement and the renewal fee is due and payable at the expiration of the initial term of the franchise agreement. Our franchise agreement royalties, including advertising fund contributions, represent sales-based royalties that are related entirely to our performance obligation under the franchise agreement and arewere recognized as franchise sales occur.
InitialUnder the going concern basis of accounting, initial and renewal franchise fees and area development fees arewere recognized as revenue over the term of the respective agreement. Area development fees are not distinct from franchise fees, so upfront fees paid by franchisees for exclusive

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we have estimated the cash collections from Fuddruckers franchisees over an anticipated holding period. Recent trends in collection of Fuddruckers franchise royalties were used as a basis for this forecast.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities consistconsisted of (1) deferred revenue resulting from initial and renewal franchise fees and upfront area development fees paid by franchisees, which, areunder the going concern basis of accounting, were generally recognized on a
16

Note 6. Leases

LesseeUnder the going concern basis of accounting, we accounted for our operating leases as described below. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we value the operating lease right-of-use assets at 0, since we do not expect to receive cash proceeds or other consideration for the right-of-use assets.
We determine if a contract contains a lease at the inception date of the contract. Our material operating leases consist of restaurant locations and administrative facilities ("Property Leases"). U.S. GAAP requires that our leases be evaluated and classified as operating or finance leases for financial reporting purposes. The classification evaluation begins at the date on which the leased asset is available for our use (the “Commencement Date”) and the lease term used in the evaluation includes the non-cancellable period for which we have the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain and failure to exercise such option would result in an economic penalty (the "Reasonably Certain Lease Term"). Our lease agreements generally contain a primary term of five to 30 years with one or more options to renew or extend the lease generally from one to five years each. In addition to leases for our restaurant locations and administrative facilities, we also lease vehicles and administrative equipment under operating leases. As of June 3, 2020, we did not have any finance leases.
At the inception of a new lease, we recognizerecognized an operating lease liability and a corresponding right of useright-of-use asset, which are calculated as the present value of the total fixed lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term using discount rates as of the effective date.
Property lease agreements may include rent holidays, rent escalation clauses and contingent rent provisions based on a percentage of sales in excess of specified levels. Contingent rental expenses (“variable lease cost”) arewere recognized prior to the achievement of a specified target, provided that the achievement of the target iswas considered probable. Most of our lease agreements include renewal periods at our option. We includeincluded the rent holiday periods and scheduled rent increases in our calculation of straight-line rent expense.
Lease cost for operating leases iswas recognized on a straight-line basis and includesincluded the amortization of the right-of-use asset and interest expense related to the operating lease liability. We useused the reasonably certain lease term in our calculation of straight-line rent expense. We expenseexpensed rent from commencement date through restaurant open date as opening expense. Once a restaurant opensopened for business, we recordrecorded straight-line rent expense plus any additional variable contingent rent expense (such as common area maintenance, insurance and property tax costs) to the extent it is due under the lease agreement as occupancy expense for our restaurants and selling, general and administrative expense for our corporate office and support facilities. The interest expense related to the lease liability for abandoned leases iswas recorded to provision for asset impairments
17


and store closings. Rental expense for lease properties that arewere subsequently subleased to franchisees or other third parties iswas recorded as other income.
We makemade judgments regarding the reasonably certain lease term for each property lease, which can impactimpacted the classification and accounting for a lease as a finance lease or an operating lease, the rent holiday and/or escalations in payments that arewere taken into consideration when calculating straight-line rent, and the term over which leasehold improvements for each restaurant arewere amortized. These judgments may produce materially different amounts of depreciation, amortization and rent expense than would be reported if different assumed lease terms were used.
The discount rate used to determine the present value of the lease payments is the Company’sour estimated collateralized incremental borrowing rate, based on the yield curve for the respective lease terms, as the Companywe generally cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease.
15


Lessor
We occasionally lease or sublease certain restaurant properties to our franchisees or to third parties. The lease descriptions, terms, variable lease payments and renewal options are generally similar to our lessee leases described above. Similar to our lessee accounting, we elected the lessor practical expedient that allows us to not separate non-lease components from lease components in regard to all property leases where we are the lessor. As of June 3, 2020, we did not have any sales-type or direct financing leases.lessors.

Note 7. Reportable Segments
As more fully discusseddescribed at "NoteNote 1. Basis of Presentation", in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company reevaluated its reportable segments and has disaggregated its Company-owned restaurants into 3 reportable segments; Luby’s cafeterias, Fuddruckers restaurants and Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants. We began reporting on the new structure in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The segment data for the comparable periods presented has been recast to conform to the current period presentation. We havePresentation, through November 18, 2020, we had 5 reportable segments: Luby’s Cafeterias, Fuddruckers Restaurants, Cheeseburger in Paradise Restaurants, Fuddruckers franchise operations, and Culinary contract services.
CCS. In connection with our Plan of Liquidation, we have 1 reportable segment as of November 19, 2020.
Company-owned restaurants
Company-owned restaurants consistsconsisted of Luby’s Cafeterias, Fuddruckers Restaurants and Cheeseburger in Paradise Restaurant reportable segments. We considerconsidered each restaurant to be an operating segment because operating results and cash flow cancould be determined for each restaurant. We aggregateaggregated our restaurant operating segments into reportable segments by restaurant brand because the nature of the products and services, the production processes, the customers, the methods used to distribute the products and services, the long-term store level profit margins, and the nature of the regulatory environment arewere similar. The chief operating decision maker analyzesanalyzed store level profit which is defined as restaurant sales and vending revenue, less cost of food, payroll and related costs, other operating expenses and occupancy costs. All Company-owned Luby’s cafeterias, Fuddruckers and Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants are casual dining restaurants.

The Luby’s Cafeterias segment includesincluded the results of our company-owned Luby’s Cafeterias restaurants. The total number of Luby’s cafeterias operating at June 3,November 18, 2020 and August 28, 201926, 2020 were 3160 and 79,61, respectively.

The Fuddruckers Restaurantrestaurant segment includesincluded the results of our company-owned Fuddruckers restaurants. The total number of Fuddruckers restaurants operating at June 3,November 18, 2020 and August 28, 201926, 2020 were 824 and 44, respectively.

The Cheeseburger in Paradise Restaurant segment includes the results of our Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants. The total number of Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants operating at June 3, 2020 and August 28, 2019 was 0 and 1,24, respectively.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

(Going Concern Basis)
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 authoritative accounting guidance requires or permits assets 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.

The fair values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other receivables, net, and accounts payable approximate their carrying value due to their short duration. The carrying value of the Company's total long-term debt, net of unamortized discounts and debt issue costs, at June 3,August 26, 2020 and August 28, 2019 was approximately $63.7$54.1 million, and $45.4 million, respectively, which approximates fair value because the applicable interest rate is adjusted frequently based on short-term market rates (Level 2).

There were no recurring fair value measurements related to assets or liabilities at June 3, 2020 or June 5, 2019 . We terminated our interest rate swap in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and received cash proceeds of approximately $0.3 million which is recorded in other income.

August 26, 2020.
There were no recurringnon-recurring fair value measurements related to liabilities at June 3,measurement adjustments for the 12 week period ended November 18, 2020. The fair value
Under the going concern basis of the Company's 2017 Performance Based Incentive Plan liabilities was 0 at June 5, 2019.

Note 10. Income Taxes
NaN cash payments of estimated federal income taxes were made during the three12 week period ended November 18, 2020 and the two quarters ended June 3,March 11, 2020, and June 5, 2019, respectively. DeferredUnder the going concern basis of accounting, deferred tax assets and liabilities arewere 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. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we have estimated the actual cash tax payments based on our estimate of operations and the timing and amount to be collected on the sale of our assets. We have included a liability of $616 thousand in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation at March 10, 2021.
DeferredUnder the going concern basis of accounting, deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent future taxable income is expected to be sufficient to utilize those assets prior to their expiration. If current available evidence and information raises doubt regarding the realization of the deferred tax assets, on a more likely than not basis, a valuation allowance is necessary. In evaluating our ability to realize the Company's deferred tax assets, the Company considered available positive and negative evidence, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. As
Under the going concern basis of June 3, 2020, management continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets.

Theaccounting, the effective tax rate ("ETR") for continuing operations was a negative 0.2%1.6% for the quarter ended June 3,March 11, 2020. The ETR was a negative 2.0% for the 12 week period ended November 18, 2020 and a negative 2.6%1.3% for the quartertwo quarters ended June 5, 2019.March 11, 2020. The ETR for the quarter12 week period ended June 3,November 18, 2020 differsdiffered from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to management's full valuation allowance conclusion, state income taxes, and other discrete items.

The ETR for continuing operations was a negative 0.6% for the three quarters ended June 3, 2020 and a negative 6.0% for the three quarters ended June 5, 2019. The ETR for the three quarters ended June 3, 2020 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to management's full valuation allowance conclusion, state income taxes, and other discrete items.

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 our consolidated financial statements. Amounts considered probable of settlements within one year have been included in the accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act contains numerous tax provisions; however, there was no impact on our income tax provision due to management's full valuation allowance conclusion. We will continue to assess the effect of the CARES Act and the ongoing other legislation related to the COVID-19 pandemic that may be issued, including the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021 that was signed in law on December 27, 2020.

Management prepares valuations for each of its restaurants using a discounted cash flow analysis (Level 3 inputs) to determine the fair value of each reporting unit for comparison with the reporting unit's carrying value in determining if there has been an impairment of goodwill at the reporting level.

Note 12. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Discontinued Operations, Property Held for Sale and Store Closings
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Store Closings
WeUnder the going concern basis of accounting, we periodically evaluateevaluated long-lived assets held for use and held for sale whenever events or changes in circumstances indicateindicated that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. We analyzeanalyzed historical cash flows of operating locations and comparecompared results of poorer performing locations to more profitable locations. We also analyzeanalyzed 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, we estimateestimated future cash flows using assumptions based on possible outcomes of the areas analyzed. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows arewere less than the carrying value of the location’s assets, we recordrecorded 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, requirerequired management’s subjective judgments. Assumptions and estimates used includeincluded 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 arewere estimated iswas 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 cancould vary within a wide range of outcomes. We considerconsidered the likelihood of possible outcomes in determining the best estimate of future cash flows. The measurement for such an impairment loss iswas then based on the fair value of the asset as determined by discounted cash flows.

Note 17. Earnings Per Share (Going Concern Basis)

BasicUnder the going concern basis of accounting, basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding 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 12 week period ended November 18, 2020 and the quarter ended and two quarters ended and three quarters ended June 3,March 11, 2020 and June 5, 2019 include 1,165,283849,970 shares, 1,174,247 shares, and 1,464,0101,174,247 shares respectively, with exercise prices exceeding market prices whose inclusion would also be anti-dilutive.

Note 18:18. Shareholder Rights Plan
On February 15, 2018, the Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan with a 10% triggering threshold and declared a dividend distribution of one right initially representing the right to purchase one half of a share of Luby’s common stock, upon specified terms and conditions. The rights plan was effective immediately.
The Board adopted the shareholder rights plan in view of the concentrated ownership of Luby’s common stock as a means to ensure that all of Luby’s stockholders are treated equally. The shareholder rights plan is designed to limit the ability of any person or group to gain control of Luby’s without paying all of Luby’s stockholders a premium for that control. The shareholder rights plan was not adopted in response to any specific takeover bid or other plan or proposal to acquire control of Luby’s.
If a person or group acquires 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Luby’s common stock (including in the form of synthetic ownership through derivative positions), each right will entitle its holder (other than such person or members of such group) to purchase, for $12,$12.00, a number of shares of Luby’s common stock having a then-current market value of twice such price. The rights plan exempts any person or group owning 10% or more (35.5% or more in the case of Harris J. Pappas, Christopher J. Pappas and their respective affiliates and associates) of Luby’s common stock immediately prior to the adoption of the rights plan. However, the rights will be exercisable if any such person or group acquires any additional shares of Luby’s common stock (including through derivative positions) other than as a result of equity grants made by Luby’s to its directors, officers or employees in their capacities as such.
Prior to the acquisition by a person or group of beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Luby’s common stock, the rights are redeemable for $0.01 per right at the option of Luby’s Board of Directors.
The dividend distribution was made on February 28, 2018 to stockholders of record on that date. Unless and until a triggering event occurs and the rights become exercisable, the rights will trade with shares of Luby’s common stock.
Luby’s financial condition, operations, and earnings per share were not affected by the adoption of the shareholder rights plan.
On February 11, 2019, the Board of Directors approved the first amendment to the shareholder rights plan extending the term of the shareholder rights plan to February 15, 2020.
On February 14, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the second amendment to the shareholder rights plan extending the term of the plan to February 15, 2021.
On November 17, 2020, the Company's shareholders ratified the shareholder rights plan.
On February 14, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the third amendment to the shareholder rights plan extending the term of the plan to February 15, 2022.

Overview
Prior to Adoption of the Plan of Liquidation
The consolidated financial statements prior to November 19, 2020 were prepared on the same property. We refer to these locations as “Combo locations.” Of these locations, there were 31 Luby's Cafeteria restaurantsgoing concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and Combo locations and 8 Fuddruckers restaurants operating with dining rooms open at limited capacity asthe satisfaction of June 3, 2020,
As of June 3, 2020, we operated 27 Culinary Contract Services locations. We operated 20 of these locationsliabilities in the Houston, Texas area, two in Dallas, Texas, three in the Texas Lower Rio Grande Valley, one in Kansas, and one in North Carolina.

As of June 3, 2020, we had 37 franchise owners operating 83 Fuddruckers restaurants. Our largest 6 franchise owners own five to twelve restaurants each and 12 franchise owners each own two to four restaurants. The 19 remaining franchise owners each own one restaurant.

Special Committee Update

On June 3, 2020, the Company announced that, upon the recommendation of a Special Committee of the Board of Directors, the full Board approved anormal course of action to pursuebusiness.
Plan of Liquidation
On November 17, 2020 our shareholders approved the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution (the “Plan of Liquidation“ or the “Plan”). The Plan provides for an orderly sale of the Company’s operating divisionsour businesses, operations, and assets, including its real estate, assets, and distribute the net proceeds to stockholders after payment of the Company’s debtsour liabilities and other obligations.During the sale process, many of the Company’s restaurants will remain open.The decision by the Company’s Board of Directors follows a comprehensive review of the Company’s operationsobligations, and assets led by a Special Committee, which reviewed a range of strategic alternatives available to the Company with the objective of maximizing stockholder value.
The Company has not established a definitive timeframe for completing this process which most likely will lead to the adoption by the Board of Directors of a formal plan of sale and proceeds distribution followed by an orderly wind down of any remaining operations. Suchoperations and dissolution of the Company. We intend to attempt to convert all of our assets into cash, satisfy or resolve our remaining liabilities and obligations, including contingent liabilities, claims and costs associated with the liquidation of the Company, and then file a certificate of dissolution with the state of Delaware. The assets to be sold include our Luby's Cafeterias, Fuddruckers, and Culinary Contract Services ("CCS") operating divisions, as well as our real estate. We currently anticipate that our common stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") upon the filing of the certificate of dissolution, which is not expected to occur until the earlier of the completion of all or substantially all of the asset sales or three years. The delisting of our common stock may occur sooner in accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE.
Following the Adoption of the Plan of Liquidation
We have determined, as a result of the approval of the Plan by our shareholders, that liquidation is imminent, as defined in ASC 205-30 Financial Statement Presentation, Liquidation Basis of Accounting. Liquidation is considered imminent when the likelihood is remote that we will return from liquidation and either (a) the Plan is approved by the person or persons with the authority to make such a plan effective and the likelihood is remote that the execution of the Plan will be blocked by other parties, or (b) the Plan is being imposed by other forces (for example, involuntary bankruptcy).
Accordingly, we have changed our basis of accounting from the going concern basis to the liquidation basis effective November 19, 2020. Although shareholder approval of the Plan occurred on November 17, 2020, we are using the liquidation basis of accounting effective November 19, 2020 as a convenience date. Any activity between November 17, 2020 and November 19, 2020 would not be materially different under the liquidation basis of accounting.
The liquidation basis of accounting differs significantly from the going concern basis, as summarized below.
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows are no longer presented.
The liquidation basis of accounting requires a statement of net assets in liquidation, a statement of changes in net assets in liquidation and all disclosures necessary to present relevant information about our expected resources in liquidation. The
36


liquidation basis of accounting may only be applied prospectively from the day liquidation becomes imminent and the initial statement of changes in net assets in liquidation may present only changes in net assets that occurred during the period since that date.
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, our assets are measured at their estimated net realizable value, or liquidation value, which represents the amount of their estimated cash proceeds or other consideration from liquidation, based on current contracts, estimates and other indications of sales value, and may include previously unrecognized assets that we may expect to either sell in the course of our liquidation or use in settling liabilities, such as trademarks or other intangibles. In developing these estimates, we utilized third party valuation experts, investment bankers, real estate brokers, the expertise of members of the Special Committee of our Board of Directors, and forecasts generated by our management. For estimated real estate values, we considered comparable sales transactions, our past experience selling real estate assets of the Company, and, in certain instances, indicative offers, as well as capitalization rates observed for income-producing real estate. For estimated business unit valuations we considered estimated values of the economic components of possible transactions, the value of a buyer assuming certain liabilities in a purchase transaction, and, in certain instances, indicative offers, as well as, the probabilities of certain outcomes. Estimates for the liquidation value of the business units, or subset of operating restaurants, were also tested for reasonableness through a multiple of historical and projected business cash flows. All estimates by nature involve a large degree of judgement and sensitivity to the underlying assumptions.
The liquidation basis of accounting requires us to accrue and present separately, without discounting, the estimated disposal and other costs, including any costs associated with the sale or settlement of our assets and proceeds distribution, if adopted byliabilities and the Board,estimated operating income or loss that we reasonably expect to incur, including providing for federal income taxes during the remaining expected duration of the liquidation period. In addition, deferred tax assets previously provided for under the going concern basis of accounting, which include net operating losses and other tax credits, may be realized partially or in full, subject to IRS limitations, to offset taxable income we expect to generate from the liquidation process.
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we will recognize liabilities as they would require stockholder approval.have been recognized under the going concern basis as adjusted for the timing assumptions related to the liquidation process and they will not be reduced to expected settlement values prior to settlement.
These estimates will be periodically reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. There can be no assurance such a plan of sale and proceeds distributionthat these estimated values will be adopted byrealized. Such amounts should not be taken as an indication of the Boardtiming or approved by stockholders.the amount of future distributions or our actual dissolution.
The Company has retained Duff & Phelps Securities, LLC to assist itvaluation of our assets and liabilities, as described above, represents estimates, based on present facts and circumstances, of the net realizable value of the assets and costs associated with carrying out the Plan. The actual values and costs associated with carrying out the Plan may differ from amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because of the Plan's inherent uncertainty. These differences may be material. In particular, these estimates will vary with the salelength of Luby’s Cafeteriatime necessary to complete the Plan. It is currently anticipated that a majority of our assets will be sold by December 31, 2021, with a final liquidation by June 30, 2022; however, it is likely that the full realization of proceeds from these sales will extend beyond that date.
We have one class of common stock. The net assets in liquidation at March 10, 2021 would result in liquidating distributions of approximately $3.98 per common share based on the number of common shares outstanding at that date. This estimate is dependent on projections of costs and Culinary Contract Servicesexpenses to be incurred during the period required to complete the Plan and has retained Brookwood Associates LLCthe realization of estimated net realizable value of our properties and business units. There is inherent uncertainty with these estimates, and they could change materially based on the timing of business and property sales, the performance of the underlying assets, any changes in the underlying assumptions of the projected cash flows, as well as the ultimate vesting of outstanding restricted share awards and exercise of vested stock options. The estimated liquidating distributions per share on a fully diluted basis, assuming all restricted stock awards vest and all in-the-money stock options are exercised, is not materially different than the amount stated above. It is not possible to assist itpredict with certainty the sale of Fuddruckers.

COVID-19 Pandemic
The novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic has had a significant impact on our level of operations, guest behavior, guest traffic, and the number of locations where we and our Fuddruckers franchisees operate. As a result, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020, we modified our business operations within our restaurants and significantly reduced staffing at our corporate support office.
On March 13, 2020, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency in response to the novel coronavirus disease ("COVID-19")COVID-19 pandemic. On March 19, 2020, Governor Greg AbbottThroughout the remainder of Texas issued a public health disaster for the state of Texas to bring the entire state in line with CDC guidelines including, (1) closing of schools statewide, (2) ban on dine-in eating and gatherings of groups of more than 10 people, and (3) closing of gyms and bars. Governor Abbott followed with an essential services order on March 31, 2020, requiring anyone who is not considered an essential, critical infrastructure worker to stay home except for essential activity, essential businesses, essential government functions and critical care facilities. Most other states, including those states where we operate, issued similar orders. The governor of Texas began relaxing some restrictions on businesses operating in Texas beginning May 1, 2020, which permitted a gradual reopening of businesses, including restaurants, with modified operations..
The spread of COVID-19 has affected the United States economy, our operations and those of third parties on which we rely.

As of March 31, 202010, 2021, we had suspended on-premise dining at all 118 ofoperated 81 restaurants (58 Luby’s cafeterias and 23 Fuddruckers restaurants). Additionally, our company-owned restaurants and had suspended all operations at 50 of our Luby's Cafeteria's, 36 company-owned Fuddruckers restaurants and our one Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant. The 28 Luby's Cafeteria's and 3 Fuddruckers restaurants that remained open were providing take-out, drive-through and curbside pickup, or delivery with reduced operating hours and on-site staff. In addition, more than 50 percent of our general and administrative staff were placed on furlough and salaries were temporarily reduced by 50 percent for the remaining general and administrative staff and other salaried employees, including all senior management. Furthermore, our franchise owners suspended operations or moved to limited food-to-go operations at theirfranchisees operated 90 locations reducing the number of franchise locations in operation to 37 by early April 2020 from 90 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Beginning in May 2020, we began to gradually reopen the dining rooms with state-mandated limits on guest capacity at the 28 Luby's locationspandemic and 3 Fuddruckers locations that had been previously operating with food-to-go service only. We also began to reopenoperated 72 restaurants that were temporarily closed. As of June 3, 2020, there were 31 Luby's Cafeteria's and 8 Fuddruckers restaurants operating, all of which had their dining rooms open at limited capacity. There were 59 franchise locations in operation as of June 3, 2020. We are continuingMarch 10, 2021.
Vaccines for COVID-19 were first made available in the gradual reopeningUnited States ("U.S.") in December 2020 with increasing rates of vaccination in the U.S. population with each passing month. Additionally, in March 2021, restaurants in our restaurants and ascore Texas market were permitted to return to utilization of 100% of seating capacity. Furthermore, the dateU.S. Treasury provided a new round of this filing there were 46 Luby's Cafeteria's and 17 Fuddruckers Restaurants operating with dining rooms open at limited capacity and there were 64 franchise locations in operation.

As we execute on our operations and financial performance is currently unknown, and depends on future developments thatPlan of Liquidation, we are uncertain and unpredictable, includingstill operating a number of restaurants as described above.

Subsequent to March 10, 2021, we closed on the sale and Credit Facility Debt Modificationtransfer of nine of these Fuddruckers restaurants. In each case, Black Titan Holding, LLC entered into a franchise agreement with us to operate each of these nine Fuddruckers restaurants. Black Titan Holding, LLC assumed the lease obligation or ownership of the tenant entity at each of these nine locations and thus Luby’s no longer has a lease obligation at these property locations.
As more fully discussed in "Debt" below, inAlso subsequent to March 10, 2021, we closed on the sale and transfer of two of these Fuddruckers restaurants and we entered into a management agreement on one of these Fuddruckers restaurants with Black Titan, LLC. However, Luby's continues to be either directly or contingently liable for the lease obligation at these property locations.
We anticipate the sale and transfer of the remaining Fuddruckers location to Black Titan Holding, LLC before the end of the third quarter of fiscal 20202021.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we sold our rights to the Koo Koo Roo brand name to an independent third party. Proceeds from the sale were immaterial.
In February 2021 we completed the sale and transfer of a previously company-owned Fuddruckers restaurant to HPCP Investments, LLC, a company affiliated with Christopher J. Pappas, a director, owner of greater than 5% of our common stock, and our former chief executive officer. Proceeds from the sale were approximately $0.2 million. Concurrent with the sale, Pappas Restaurants, Inc., another company affiliated with Mr. Pappas entered into a promissory note in the amount of $10.0 million (the "PPP Loan"). In conjunctionfranchise agreement with the entering into the PPP Loan, we amended our credit facility to permit us to incur indebtednessoperate a Fuddruckers restaurant at this location. Also as part of this transaction, our operating lease with HPCP Investments, LLC for this location was terminated and our remaining lease obligation was cancelled.

As of April 26, 2021, the Company has ownership of 63 properties.
Lease Settlements
In fiscal year 2020, we terminated and settled our remaining lease obligation for 16 closed restaurant properties and negotiated an early termination date and reduced lease payment at one operating restaurant property. In the first two quarters ended March 11, 2020 (a period priorof fiscal year 2021, we terminated and settled our remaining lease obligation at ten closed restaurant properties and we settled one addition lease obligation for a closed restaurant property. While the amounts paid to the COVID-19 pandemic), we sustained a net loss of $12.1 million and cash flow from operations was a use of cash of $5.9 million. In the quarter ended June 3, 2020 we sustained a net loss of $25.0 million and for the three quarters ended June 3, 2020settle our cash flow from operations was a use of cash of $14.1 million. On March 13, 2020, shortly after the end of our second quarter, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic followed by Governor Greg Abbott of Texas issuing a public health disaster for the state of Texas on March 19, 2020. We took the necessary actions described in "Note 2. COVID-19 Pandemic" which further stressed the liquid financial resources of the Company. We borrowed the remaining $1.4 million available on our revolving line of credit with MSD Capital, borrowed $2.5 million on our Delayed Draw Term Loan, and applied for and received a $10.0 million PPP Loan as described in "COVID-19 Pandemic", above. As of the date of this filing, we have no undrawn borrowing capacity under our credit facility. Further, we do not believe that we are currently able to secure any additional debt financing.
The full extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial performance is currently unknown. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations and its ability to generate proceeds from real estate property sales to meet its obligations.

a going concern as of the balance sheet date, and for at least one year beyond the financial statement issuance date. The assessment of a company’s ability to meet its obligations is inherently judgmental.

On June 3, 2020, the Company announced that the BoardGeneral and Administrative Expenses
As we progress through our Plan of Directors of the Company will aggressively pursue a sale of the Company's operationsLiquidation, we remain focused on reducing our operating and assets and distribute the net proceedsadministrative costs, when appropriate, to provide maximum liquidation value to our stockholders, after payment of debt and other obligations. This course of action is more fully explained in "Special Committee Update" above. We have not established a timeframe, nor have we committed to a specific plan, but such a plan could extend beyond one year. Until a formal plan of sale and proceeds distribution is approved, we believe we will be able to meet our obligations for the next 12 months when they come due through (1) cash flow from operating certain restaurants, (2) available cash balances, and (3) proceeds generated from real estate property sales as discussed below.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have reviewed and modified many aspects of our operating plan within our restaurants and corporate overhead. The Company is now operating at an increased level of operational cost efficiency. These efforts are expected to partially mitigate the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the sale of some assets will likely be necessary for the Company to generate cash to fund its operations. The Company has historically been able to successfully generate proceeds from property sales. Although the Company has been successful in these endeavors in the past, there are no assurances the Company will generate sufficient funds to meet all its obligations as they become due. The following conditions were considered in management’s evaluation of going concern and its efforts to mitigate that concern:
Revamped restaurant operations to generate cost efficiencies, which resulted in higher restaurant operating margins even while sales levels have not returned to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. As the restaurants adapted to the new operating environment, a lower cost labor model was deployed, food costs declined as menu offerings were concentrated among the historically top selling items, and various restaurant service and supplier costs were reevaluated.
Restructured corporate overhead earlier in calendar 2020 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, including a transition to third party provider for certain accounting and payroll function. Significant further restructuring took place in April, May and June of 2020, as we reviewed all corporate service providers, information technology needs, and personnel requirements to support a reduced level of operations going forward.
Secured the PPP Loan which was necessary for funding continuing operations. We believe that a portion of the PPP loan will be eligible for forgiveness; however, that amount cannot currently be calculated.
In addition to the approximate $7.2 million proceeds from property sales achieved in fiscal year 2020 through the third quarter, we generated an additional $10.7 million proceeds from property sales in June 2020 and anticipate an additional $9.2 million proceeds from property sales before the end of fiscal 2020 in August.
We believe these plans are sufficient to overcome the significant doubt whether we can meet our liquidity needs for the 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements. However, we cannot predict with certainty that these efforts will be successful or sufficient.shareholders.
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. However, every fifth or sixth year, we have a fiscal year that consists of 53 weeks, accounting for 371 days in the aggregate. The first fiscal quarter consists of four four-week periods, or 16 weeks, and the remaining three quarters typically includes three four-week periods, or 12 weeks, in length. The fourth fiscal quarter includes 13 weeks in certain fiscal years to adjust for our standard 52 week, or 364 day, fiscal year compared to the 365 day calendar year. Comparability between quarters may be affected by the varying lengths of the quarters, as well as the seasonality associated with the restaurant business.
Same-Store Sales
Due to the lack of comparability of current year quarter and year-to-date restaurant sales as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are not presenting Same-Store Sales comparisons in this Quarterly Report on Form 10Q.

Comparisons to the quarter ended June 5, 2019. The decrease in restaurant sales included an approximate $33.1 million decrease in sales at stand-alone Luby's Cafeterias, an approximate $13.9 million decrease in sales at stand-alone Fuddruckers restaurants, an approximate $4.1 million decrease in sales from Combo locations,March 11, 2020 and an approximate $0.7 million decrease in sales at Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants.

The approximate $33.1 million decrease in sales at stand-alone Luby's Cafeteria restaurants was the result of temporary closures and reduced operations due to local COVID-19 restrictions. There were 27 locations that remained open throughout the quarter ended June 3, 2020. The 27 locations were open with food-to-go only for 69% of the store-days in the month. During this time, the stores' average weekly sales were $25,000 per week which was 57% lower than the quarter ended June 5, 2019. When limited dine in was allowed, representing 25% of the total store-days in the quarter ended June 3, 2020, sales averaged $43,000 per week, which was 28% lower than the quarter ended June 5, 2019. As of June 3, 2020, there were 30 stand-alone Luby's Cafeteria restaurants open with limited dine in allowed.

The approximate $13.9 million decrease in sales at stand-alone Fuddruckers restaurants was the result of temporary closures and reduced operations due to local COVID-19 restrictions. During the quarter ended June 3, 2020, there were three units that operated throughout. Those three locations operated with food-to-go only for 56% of the store days in the quarter ended June 3, 2020. Restaurant sales per store per week at these three locations with just food-to-go were $12,000 per week, down 60% compared to the quarter ended June 5, 2019. These same three stores operated with limited dine in capacity for 36% of the store days for the quarter ended June 3, 2020. Sales per store per week were $22,000, down 29% from the quarter ended June 5, 2019, at these locations when dining rooms were opened for limited operations. As of June 3, 2020, there were 8 stand-alone Fuddruckers restaurants operating with limited dining room operations. Also, 15 permanent restaurant closings and seven restaurant transfers to a franchise owner's operations accounted for approximately $6.3 million of this sales decline.

The approximate $4.1 million decrease in sales at Combo locations reflects a 88.2% decrease in sales at the six locations. Only one location operated throughout the quarter, with just the Luby's Cafeteria side open, in the quarter ended June 3, 2020.

The approximate $0.7 million decrease in sales at Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants in the quarter ended June 3, 2020 compared to the quarter ended June 5, 2019 was the result of the one remaining location being closed for most of the quarter ended June 3, 2020.

As a result of the reduced sales level from COVID-19 restrictions, the company worked to manage costs by reducing frequencies of certain services, limited repairs to only operation critical items, and implementation of other cost efficiencies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our primary sources of short-termWe have previously financed our operations through borrowings from our Credit Facility, proceeds from our PPP Loan and long-term liquidity are cash flows from operations and proceeds from asset sales.

We believe that the cash flow from operations along with the sales proceeds will continue to provide adequate capital to fund our operating, administrative and other expenses during liquidation, as well as funding our debt service obligations in the short term.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Form 10-Q were prepared in conformity with GAAP. 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements, management regularly reviews these assumptions and estimates with the Finance and Audit Committee of our Board. Actual results may differ from these estimates, including our estimates of future cash flows, which are subject to the current economic environment and changes in estimates. Other thanUnder the implementationgoing concern basis of ASC 842 as discussed in Note 1 and 4 of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements,accounting, we had no changes in the critical accounting policies and estimates which were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 28, 2019.
