Explanatory Note

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Luby’s, Inc. on April 20, 2020, Luby’s, Inc. delayed the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in reliance on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and certain rules thereunder (Release No. 34-88465) due to the outbreak of, and local, state and federal governmental responses to, the novel coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19 pandemic”). Luby’s, Inc.’s operations have experienced disruptions due to the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic including, but not limited to, suggested and mandated social distancing and stay home orders, a significant number of temporary store closings, and limited service in other stores. These mandates and orders and the resulting office closures and staff reductions have severely limited access to Luby’s Inc.’s facilities by its financial reporting and accounting staff and impacted its ability to fulfill required preparation and review processes and procedures. In light of the impact of the factors described above, Luby’s, Inc. was unable to compile and review certain information required in order to permit Luby’s, Inc. to timely file this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q without unreasonable effort or expense.

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 quarter and three quartersperiods ended June 5, 2019March 11, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending August 28, 2019.26, 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, certain of our restaurants will remain open to continue to serve our guests.

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 29, 2018,28, 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, 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 29, 2018.28, 2019.


Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
We transitionedThe 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) from ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition365 day calendar year.

Reportable Segments
Each restaurant is an operating segment because operating results and ASC Topic 953-605, Franchisors - Revenue Recognition (together,cash flow can be determined for each restaurant. We aggregate our operating segments into reportable segments by restaurant brand due to the “Previous Standards”) on August 30, 2018. Our transition to ASC 606 represents a change in accounting principle. ASC 606 eliminates industry-specific guidance and provides a single model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principlenature of ASC 606 is that a reporting entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goodsproducts and services, the production processes, the customers, the methods used to customersdistribute the products and services, the similarity of store level profit margins and the nature of the regulatory environment are alike. The Company has 5 reportable segments: Luby’s cafeterias, Fuddruckers restaurants, Cheeseburger in an amount thatParadise restaurant, Fuddruckers franchise operations, and Culinary Contract Services (“CCS”).

Prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 our internal organization and reporting structure supported three 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 2019 we re-evaluated and disaggregated the Company-owned restaurants into three reportable segments based on brand name.  As such, as of the fourth quarter 2019, our five 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 considerationpriorities and decision-making analysis around the allocation of our resources and better aligns to which the economic characteristics within similar restaurant brands. We began reporting entity expects to be entitledon 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 exchangecomparable periods of those goods or services.

We adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method appliedfiscal 2019 has been recast to contracts that were not completed at August 29, 2018. Dueconform to the short term nature of a significant portion of our contracts with customers, we have elected to apply the practical expedients under ASC 606 to:  (1) not adjust the consideration for the effects of a significant financing component, (2) recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as expense when incurred and (3) not disclose the value of our unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.

The adoption of ASC 606current period presentation. Recasting this historical information did not have an impact on the recognitionconsolidated financial performance of revenues from our primary source of revenue from our Company owned restaurants (exceptLuby’s Inc. for recognition of breakage and discounts on gift cards, as discussed below), revenues from our culinary contract services, vending revenue or ongoing franchise royalty fees, which are based on a percentage of franchisee sales. The adoption did impact the recognition of initial franchise fees and area development fees and gift card breakage.
The adoption of ASC 606 requires us to recognize initial and renewal franchise and development fees on a straight-line basis over the termany of the franchise agreement, which is usually 20 years. Historically,periods presented.

Other Charges

Other charges includes those expenses that we have recognized revenue from initial franchise and development fees upon the openingconsider related to our restructuring efforts or are not part of a franchised restaurant when we have completed all our material obligations and initial services.
Additionally, ASC 606 requires gift card breakage to be recognized as revenue in proportion to the pattern of gift card redemptions exercised by our customers. Historically, we recorded breakage income within other (expense) income (and not within revenue) when it was deemed remote that the unused gift card balance will be redeemed.
Upon adoption of ASC 606 we changed our reporting of marketing and advertising fund (“MAF”) contributions from franchisees and the related marketing and advertising expenditures. Under the Previous Standards, we did not reflect MAF contributions from franchisees and MAF expendituresrecurring operations. These expenses were included in our statements of operations. Although the gross amounts of our revenuesSelling, general, and expenses are impacted by the recognition of franchisee MAF fund contributions and related expenditures of MAF funds we manage, increases to gross revenues and expenses did not resultadministrative cost expense line in a material net impact to our statement of operations.
Our consolidated financial statements reflect the application of ASC 606 beginning in fiscal year 2019, while our consolidated financial statements for prior periods were prepared under the guidance of the Previous Standards. The $2.5 million cumulative effect of our adoption of ASC 606 is reflected as an increase to our August 30, 2018 shareholders’ equity with a corresponding decrease to accrued expenses and other liabilities and was comprised of (1) a reduction to accrued expense and other liabilities of


$3.1 million to adjust the unused gift card liability balance as if the gift card breakage guidance had been applied prior to August 30, 2018 and (2) an increase to accrued expense and other liabilities of $0.6 million to adjust the unearned franchise fees for the fees received through the endpreviously reported quarters of fiscal year 2018 that would have been deferred and recognized over the term of the franchise agreement if the new guidance had been applied prior2019. See Note 8 to August 30, 2018.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update provides clarification regarding how certain cash receipts and disbursements are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. We adopted ASU 2016-15 on August 30, 2018 using the retrospective method of adoption. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on ourthese unaudited consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016,
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On August 29, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statementfirst day of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Restricted Cash. This update addresses the diversity in practice on how to classify and present changes in restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents in addition to changes in cash and cash equivalents. Entities are also required to disclose information about the nature of the restrictions and amounts described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. Also, when cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line on the balance sheet, an entity must reconcile these amounts to the total shown on the statement of cash flows. Wefiscal 2020, (the "Effective Date") we adopted ASU 2016-18 effective August 30, 2018 using the retrospective method of adoption. Our adoption of ASU 2016-18 represents a change in accounting principle. Our consolidated statement of cash flow for the three quarters ended June 6, 2018 has been revised to reflect the application of ASU 2016-18. See Note 2 for the reconciliation and disclosures regarding the restrictions required by this update. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements - "to be Adopted"
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUStandards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11, 2018-20, along with related clarifications and 2019-01, which were targeted improvements to ASU 2016-02 (collectively, with ASU 2016-02, “ASC(“ASC 842”) and provided entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new lease standard.. ASC 842 requires a lesseelessees 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 onasset. 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 balance sheet, as well as provide additional disclosures aboutability to assess the amount, timing, and potential uncertainty of cash flows arising fromrelated to leases. ASC 842 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ASC 842 may be adopted using the modified retrospective method, which requires application to all comparative periods presented (the “comparative method”) or alternatively, as of the effective date of initial application without restating comparative period financial statements (the “effective date method”). We will adopt ASC 842 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 using the effective date method. The ASC 842 also provides several practical expedients and policies that companies may elect under either transition method.
We are implementinghave implemented a new lease tracking and accounting system in connection with the adoption of ASC 842. Based on a preliminary assessment,

We elected the optional transition method to apply ASC 842 as of the effective date and therefore, we expect that most of our operating lease commitments will be subjecthave not applied the standard to the new standard and we will record operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption, resulting in a significant increase in the assets and liabilitiescomparative periods presented on our consolidated balance sheet.financial statements. We expect to electalso elected the package of practical expedients which will allowthat allowed us not to reassess previous accounting conclusions regarding lease identification, initial direct costs and classification for existing or expired leases as of the dateeffective 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 adoption. 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 expect to electelected the short-term lease recognition exemption which provides the optionfor all of our leases that allows us to not recognize right-of-use assets and related liabilities for leases with termsan initial term of 12 months or less. Weless and that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that we are continuing our assessmentreasonably 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 other practical expedients and policy elections available under ASC 842. We are continuing our assessmentremaining 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.

Note 2. Subsequent Events

COVID-19 Pandemic
On March 13, 2020, President 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, have 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 the COVID-19 pandemic 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
9


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 their 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 locations and 3 Fuddruckers locations that had been previously operating with food-to-go service only. We also began to reopen restaurants that were temporarily closed. As of the date of this filing, 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 the date of this filing.
The full extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial performance is currently unknown, and depends on future developments that are uncertain and unpredictable, including the duration of the spread of the pandemic, its impact of 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.
We are currently evaluating the potential short-term and long-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on our consolidated financial statements. The potential impacts will occur as early as the third quarter of fiscal 2020, and include, but are not limited to: impairment of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, definite-lived intangible assets and operating lease right-of-use assets related to our restaurants, impairment of goodwill and collectability of receivables.
See Note 3. Going Concern.
Payroll Protection Plan (PPP) Loan and Credit Facility Debt Modification
On April 21, 2020 we entered into a promissory note with Texas Capital Bank, N.A., effective April 12, 2020 that provides for a loan in the amount of $10.0 million (the "PPP loan") pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). The PPP Loan matures on April 12, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly amortized principle and interest payments are deferred for six months after the date of disbursement. The PPP Loan funds were received on April 21, 2020. The PPP Loan contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The Payroll Protection Program provides that the use of PPP Loan amount shall be limited to certain qualifying expenses and may be partially forgiven in accordance with the terms of CARES Act to the extent applicable. We are not yet able to determine the amount that might be forgiven.
Additionally, we entered into the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated April 21, 2020 (the "Third Amendment"). The Credit Agreement is further described at Note 15. Debt. The Third Amendment permitted us to incur indebtedness under the PPP Loan and terminated the $5.0 million undrawn portion of the delayed draw term loan upon receipt of the PPP Loan.
Note 3. Going Concern

The Company sustained a net loss of approximately $15.2 million and cash flow from operations was a use of cash of approximately $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), the Company sustained a net loss of $12.1 million and cash flow from operations was a use of cash of $5.9 million. On March 13, 2020, shortly after the end of the Company's second quarter, President 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. The Company took the necessary actions described in "Note 2. Subsequent Events" which further stressed the liquid financial resources of the Company. In response, the company borrowed the remaining $1.4 million available on its revolving line of credit with MSD Capital, borrowed $2.5 million on its Delayed Draw Term Loan, and applied for and received a $10.0 million PPP Loan as described in "Note 2. Subsequent Events". As of the date of this filing, the Company has no undrawn borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement. Further, the Company does not believe that it would be able to secure any additional debt financing currently.
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 the Company’s 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
10


should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern Management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as 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 its operations and assets and distribute the net proceeds to our stockholder, 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 plan, but such a plan could extend beyond one year. Until an actionable plan 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.
Throughout April and May of 2020, the Company reviewed and modified many aspects of its operating plan within its restaurants and corporate overhead. The Company is now operating at an increased level of operational cost efficiency. These efforts are expected to mitigate the adverse impacts of COVID-19. 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:
Revamping restaurant operations to generate cost efficiencies resulting in higher restaurant operating margins even if sales levels do not return 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.
Restructuring of corporate overhead earlier in calendar 2020 prior to the pandemic, including a transition to 3rd party provider for certain accounting and payroll function. Significant further restructuring took place in April and May of 2020, as we reviewed all corporate service providers, information technology needs, and personnel requirements to support a reduced level of operations going forward.
Securing the PPP Loan which was necessary for funding continuing operations. We believe that a portion of the loan will be eligible for forgiveness; however, that amount cannot currently be calculated.
Continued efforts to close real estate sales transactions with anticipated aggregate sales proceeds in excess of $20.0 million prior to the end of fiscal 2020. In addition, the we have identified other real estate properties that may be sold to generate funds for ongoing operations should the identification of a buyer for one or more of the operating divisions not occur timely.
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 can not predict with certainty that these efforts will be successful or sufficient.

Note 3.5. Revenue Recognition


Restaurant Sales
Restaurant sales consist of sales of food and beverage products to restaurant guests at our Luby’s Cafeteria,cafeterias and our Fuddruckers and Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants. Revenue from restaurant sales is recognized at the point of sale and is presented net of discounts, coupons, employee meals and complimentary meals. Sales taxes that we collect and remit to the appropriate taxing authority related to these sales are excluded from revenue.
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. Sales of gift cards to our restaurant customers are initially recorded as a contract liability, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities, at their expected redemption value. When gift cards are redeemed, we recognize revenue and reduce the contract liability. Discounts on gift cards sold by third parties are recorded as a reduction to accrued expenses and other liabilities and are recognized, as a reduction to revenue, over a period that approximates redemption patterns. The portion of gift cards sold to customers that are never redeemed is commonly referred to as gift card breakage. Under ASC 606 weWe recognize 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 Previous Standards, we recognized gift card breakage income within other (expense) income (and not within revenue) when it was deemed remote that the unused gift card balance would be redeemed.
Culinary contract services revenue
Our Culinary Contract Services 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:
Fee-Based Contracts. Contracts Revenue from fee-based contracts is 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 is allocated entirely to the management services performance obligation. We recognize revenue from our management fee and payroll cost reimbursement over time as the services are performed. We recognize revenue from our food and 3rd party purchases reimbursement at the point in time when the vendor delivers the goods or performs the services.
Profit and Loss Contracts. Contracts Revenue from profit and loss contracts consist primarily of sales made to consumers, typically with little or no subsidy charged to clients. Revenue is recognized at the point of sale to the consumer. Sales taxes that we collect and remit to the appropriate taxing authority related to these sales are 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 are accounted for as operating costs when incurred.
Revenue from the sale of frozen foods includes royalty fees based on a percentage of frozen food sales and is recognized at the point in time when product is delivered by our contracted manufacturers to the retail outlet.


Franchise revenues
Franchise revenues consist 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 account for them under ASC 606 as a single performance obligation, which is 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 are recognized as franchise sales occur.
Initial and renewal franchise fees and area development fees are 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
12


development rights are deferred and apportioned to each franchise restaurant opened by the franchisee. The pro-rata amount apportioned to each restaurant is accounted for as an initial franchise fee.
Under the Previous Standards, initial franchise fees and area development fees were recognized as revenue when the related restaurant commenced operations and we completed all material pre-opening services and conditions. Renewal franchise fees were recognized as revenue upon execution of a new franchise agreement. MAF contributions from franchisees and the related MAF expenditures were accounted for on a net basis in our consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue from vending machine sales is recorded at the point in time when the sale occurs.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities consist of (1) deferred revenue resulting from initial and renewal franchise fees and upfront area development fees paid by franchisees, which are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying agreement, (2) liability for unused gift cards and (3) unamortized discount on gift cards sold to 3rd party retailers. These contract liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The following table reflects the change in contract liabilities between the date of adoption (August 30, 2018) and June 5, 2019:liabilities:

Note 6. Leases

Lessee
We determine if a contract contains a lease at the exceptioninception date of the cumulative effect adjustment describedcontract. 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 Note 1, the adoptionevaluation 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 ASC 606the 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 March 11, 2020, we did not have any finance leases.
At the inception of a material effectnew lease, we recognize an operating lease liability and a corresponding right of use asset, which are calculated as the 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”) are recognized prior to the achievement of a specified target, provided that the achievement of the target is considered probable. Most of our lease agreements include renewal periods at our option. We include the rent holiday periods and scheduled rent increases in our calculation of straight-line rent expense.
Lease cost for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis and includes the amortization of the right-of-use asset and interest expense related to the operating lease liability. We use the reasonably certain lease term in our calculation of straight-line rent expense. We expense rent from commencement date through restaurant open date as opening expense. Once a restaurant opens for business, we record 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 is recorded to provision for asset impairments and store closings. Rental expense for lease properties that are subsequently subleased to franchisees or other third parties is recorded as other income.
We make judgments regarding the reasonably certain lease term for each property lease, which can impact the classification and accounting for a lease as a finance lease or an operating lease, the rent holiday and/or escalations in payments that are taken into consideration when calculating straight-line rent, and the term over which leasehold improvements for each restaurant are 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’s estimated collateralized incremental borrowing rate, based on the yield curve for the respective lease terms, as the Company generally cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease.

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 March 11, 2020, we did not have any sales-type or direct financing leases.

Note 6. Derivative Financial Instruments8. Other Charges

Other charges includes those expenses that we consider related to our restructuring efforts or are not part of our ongoing operations.
The Company enters into derivative instruments, from time to time, to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates on a percentage of its long-term variable rate debt. On December 14, 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap, pay fixed - receive floating, with a constant notional amount of $17.5 million. The fixed swap rate we paid was 1.965% and the variable rate we received was one-month LIBOR. The term of the interest rate swap was 5 years. The Company did not apply hedge accounting treatment to this derivative; therefore, changes in fair value of the instrument were recognized in Other income (expense), net. The changes in the interest rate swap fair value resulted in an expense of approximately $0.1 million during the three quarters ended June 5, 2019 and a credit to expense of approximately $0.7 million in the three quarters ended June 6, 2018. The Company terminated its interest rate swap in the quarter ended December 19, 2018 and received approximately $0.3 million in cash proceeds.

Note 7.9. Fair Value Measurements

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 credit facility debt, net of unamortized discounts and debt issue costs, at June 5, 2019March 11, 2020 and August 29, 201828, 2019 was approximately $42.0$50.8 million and $39.3$45.4 million, respectively, which approximates fair value because the applicable interest rate is adjusted frequently based on short-term market rates (Level 2).

Note 8.10. Income Taxes
 
The effects of the U.S. tax reform legislation that is commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) on the Company's income tax accounts were reflected in the fiscal 2018 financial statements as determined based on available information, subject to interpretation in accordance with the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118"). SAB 118 provides guidance on accounting for the effects of the Tax Act where such determinations are incomplete; however, the Company has completed its determination of the effects of the Tax Act on its income tax accounts.

NoNaN cash payments of estimated federal income taxes were made during the threetwo quarters ended June 5,March 11, 2020 and March 13, 2019, and June 6, 2018, respectively. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 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.
 
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 of June 5, 2019,March 11, 2020, management determined that for the three quarters ended June 5, 2019continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on the Company'sagainst net deferred tax assets was necessary.assets.


The effective tax rate ("ETR") for continuing operations was a negative 2.6%1.6% for the quarter ended June 5, 2019March 11, 2020 and a negative 41.2%1.4% for the quarter ended June 6, 2018.March 13, 2019. The ETR for the quarter ended June 5, 2019March 11, 2020 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to management's full valuation allowance conclusion, anticipated federal jobs credits, state income taxes, and other discrete items.




The ETR for continuing operations was a negative 6.0%1.3% for the threetwo quarters ended June 5, 2019March 11, 2020 and a negative 31.8%33.8% for the threetwo quarters ended June 6, 2018.March 13, 2019. The ETR for the threetwo quarters ended June 5, 2019ended March 11, 2020 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to management's full management's valuation allowance conclusion, anticipated federal jobs credits, 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.

During the quarter ended March 13, 2019, the Company completed the sale of two properties with a total net sales price of approximately $19.6 million. The properties sold had been included in the previously announced asset sales program. The sales included lease back periods of 36 and 60 months and average annual lease payments of approximately $450 thousand and $295 thousand, respectively. The Company recorded a total net gain on the two sales of approximately $15.3 million of which $12.9 million was recognized in the quarter ended March 13, 2019 and the remainder will be recognized over the respective lease back periods. The deferred gain on the sale of the two properties is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet at June 5, 2019. Net proceeds from the sales were used in accordance with the 2018 Credit Agreement, to reduce the balance on its outstanding 2018 Term Loan (as defined below) and for general business purposes.
Intangible assets, net, includes the Fuddruckers trade name and franchise agreements and are amortized. The Company believes the Fuddruckers brand name has an expected accounting life of 21 years from the date of acquisition based on the expected use of its assets and the restaurant environment in which it is being used. The trade name represents a respected brand with customer loyalty and the Company intends to cultivate and protect the use of the trade name. The franchise agreements, after considering renewal periods, have an estimated accounting life of 21 years from the date of acquisition, July 2010, and will be amortized over this period of time.

Intangible assets, net, also includes the license agreement and trade name related to Cheeseburger in Paradise and the value of the acquired licenses and permits allowing the sales of beverages with alcohol. These assets have an expected useful life of 15 years from the date of acquisition, December 2012.
 
The aggregate amortization expense related to intangible assets subject to amortization was approximately $1.0$0.8 million and $1.1$0.7 million for the threetwo quarters ended June 5,March 11, 2020 and March 13, 2019, and June 6, 2018, respectively. The aggregate amortization expense related to intangible assets subject to amortization is expected to be approximately $1.4 million in each of the next five successive fiscal years.

(1) The amounts as of August 29, 2018 reflect a reclassification of amounts from the Cheeseburger in Paradise trade name and license agreements to the Fuddruckers trade name and franchise agreements lines on the table, netting to approximately $88 thousand.  


Goodwill, net of accumulated impairments of approximately $1.9 million, was approximately $555$514 thousand as of June 5, 2019March 11, 2020 and August 29, 2018, respectively, and relates to our Company-owned restaurants reportable segment.28, 2019, respectively. Goodwill has been allocated and impairment is assessed at the reporting level, which is the individual restaurants within our Fuddruckers and Cheeseburger in Paradise brandsreporting segments that were acquired in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2013, respectively. The net Goodwill balance at June 5, 2019March 11, 2020 is comprised of amounts assigned to one Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant that is still operated by us, and the goodwill from the Fuddruckers acquisition in 2010. The Company performs a goodwill impairment test annually as of the end of the second fiscal quarter of each year and more frequently when negative conditions or a triggering event arises. 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.
 
The Company recorded no0 goodwill impairment charges during the threetwo quarters ended June 5, 2019March 11, 2020 and approximately $0.6 million during the three quarters ended June 6, 2018.March 13, 2019.


Note 10.12. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Discontinued Operations, Property Held for Sale and Store Closings
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Store Closings
 
We periodically evaluate long-lived assets held for use and held for sale whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. We analyze historical cash flows of operating locations and comparescompare results of poorer performing locations to more profitable locations. We also analyze 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 estimate future cash flows using assumptions based on possible outcomes of the areas analyzed. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the location’s assets, we record 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, require management’s subjective judgments. Assumptions and estimates used include 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 are estimated is 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.
24


Depending on the assumptions and estimates used, the estimated future cash flows projected in the evaluation of long-lived assets can vary within a wide range of outcomes. We consider the likelihood of possible outcomes in determining the best estimate of future cash flows. The measurement for such an impairment loss is then based on the fair value of the asset as determined by discounted cash flows.
 
We recognized the following impairment charges to income from operations:

Note 15.17. Earnings Per Share

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 quarter and threetwo quarters ended June 5,ended March 11, 2020 and March 13, 2019 and the quarter ended March 11, 2020 include 1,174,247 shares, 1,464,010 shares and 1,174,247 shares, respectively with exercise prices exceeding market prices whose inclusion would also be anti-dilutive.

Note 16:18: 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, 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 1 cent$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 was 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.

Although store level profit, defined as restaurant sales less cost of food, payroll and related costs, other operating expenses, and occupancy costs is a non-GAAP measure, we believe its presentation is useful because it explicitly shows the results of our most significant reportable segment. The following table reconciles between store level profit, a non-GAAP measure, to loss from continuing operations, a GAAP measure:

Recent Developments

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 a plan to pursue the sale of the Company’s operating divisions and assets, including its real estate assets, and distribute the net proceeds to stockholders after payment of the Company’s debts and other obligations.During the sale process, certain of the Company’s restaurants will remain open to continue serving our guests.The decision by the Company’s Board of Directors follows a comprehensive review of the Company’s operations 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. Such a plan of sale and proceeds distribution, if adopted by the Board, would require stockholder approval.There can be no assurance such a plan of sale and proceeds distribution will be adopted by the Board or approved by stockholders.The Company has retained Duff & Phelps Securities, LLC to assist it with the sale of Luby’s Cafeteria and Culinary Contract Services and has retained Brookwood Associates LLC to assist it with the sale of Fuddruckers.

COVID-19 Pandemic
On March 13, 2020, President 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, have 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 the COVID-19 pandemic 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 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 their locations, reducing the number of franchise locations in operation to 37 from 90.
Beginning in May 2020, we began to gradually reopen the dining rooms with state-mandated limits on guest capacity at the 28 Luby's locations and 3 Fuddruckers locations that had been previously operating with food-to-go service only. We also began to reopen restaurants that were temporarily closed. As of the date of this filing, there were 31 Luby's Cafeteria's and 8 Fuddruckers restaurants operating, all of which had their dining rooms open at limited capacity; these restaurants were operating at approximately 75% to 80% of their pre-pandemic weekly sales levels. Additionally, there were 59 franchise locations in operation as of the date of this release.
The full extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial performance is currently unknown, and depends on future developments that are uncertain and unpredictable, including the duration of the spread of the pandemic, its impact of 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.
We are currently evaluating the potential short-term and long-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on our consolidated financial statements. The potential impacts will occur as early as the third quarter of fiscal 2020, and include, but are not limited to: impairment of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, definite-lived intangible assets and operating lease right-of-use assets related to our restaurants, impairment of goodwill and collectability of receivables.
Payroll Protection Plan (PPP) Loan and Credit Facility Debt Modification
On April 21, 2020 we entered into a promissory note with Texas Capital Bank, N.A., effective April 12, 2020 that provides for a loan in the amount of $10.0 million (the "PPP Loan") pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). The PPP Loan matures on April 12, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Monthly amortized principle and interest payments are deferred for six months after the date of disbursement. The PPP Loan funds were received on April 21, 2020. The PPP Loan contains events of default and other provisions customary for a loan of this type. The Payroll Protection Program provides that the use of PPP Loan amount shall be limited to certain qualifying expenses and may be partially forgiven in accordance with the terms of CARES Act to the extent applicable. We are not yet able to determine the amount that might be forgiven.
Additionally, we entered into the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated April 21, 2020 (the "Third Amendment"). The Credit Agreement is further described in the Debt section below. The Third Amendment permitted us to incur indebtedness under the PPP Loan and terminated the $5.0 million undrawn portion of the delayed draw term loan upon receipt of the PPP Loan. Effective with this Third Amendment we have no undrawn borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement.
Going Concern
The Company sustained a net loss of approximately $15.2 million and cash flow from operations was a use of cash of approximately $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), the Company sustained a net loss of $12.1 million and cash flow from operations was a use of cash of $5.9 million. On March 13, 2020, shortly after the end of the Company's second quarter, President 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. The Company took the necessary actions described "COVID-19 Pandemic", above, which further stressed the liquid financial resources of the Company. In response, the company borrowed the remaining $1.4 million available on its revolving line of credit with MSD Capital, borrowed $2.5 million on its Delayed Draw Term Loan, and applied for and received a $10.0 million PPP Loan as described above. As of the date of this filing, the Company has no undrawn borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement. Further, the Company does not believe that it would be able to secure any additional debt financing currently.
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
38


events, in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s 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 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 its operations and assets and distribute the net proceeds to our stockholder, 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 plan, but such a plan could extend beyond one year. Until an actionable plan 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.
Throughout April and May of 2020, the Company reviewed and modified many aspects of its operating plan within its restaurants and corporate overhead. The Company is now operating at an increased level of operational cost efficiency. These efforts are expected to mitigate the adverse impacts of COVID-19. 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:
Revamping restaurant operations to generate cost efficiencies resulting in higher restaurant operating margins even if sales levels do not return 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.
Restructuring of corporate overhead earlier in calendar 2020 prior to the pandemic, including a transition to 3rd party provider for certain accounting and payroll function. Significant further restructuring took place in April and May of 2020, as we reviewed all corporate service providers, information technology needs, and personnel requirements to support a reduced level of operations going forward.
Securing the PPP Loan which was necessary for funding continuing operations. We believe that a portion of the loan will be eligible for forgiveness; however, that amount cannot currently be calculated.
Continued efforts to close real estate sales transactions with anticipated aggregate sales proceeds in excess of $20.0 million prior to the end of fiscal 2020. In addition, we have identified other real estate properties that may be sold to generate funds for ongoing operations should the identification of a buyer for one or more of the operating divisions not occur timely.
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 can not predict with certainty that these efforts will be successful or sufficient.
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.
 
39


Same-Store Sales
The restaurant business is highly competitive with respect to food quality, concept, location, price, and service, all of which may have an effect on same-store sales. Our same-store sales calculation measures the relative performance of a certain group of restaurants. A restaurant’s sales results are included in the same-store sales calculation in the quarter after a store has been open for six consecutive fiscal quarters. Stores that close on a permanent basis (or on a temporary basis for remodeling) are removed from the group in the quarter when operations cease at the restaurant, but remain in the same-store group for previously reported quarters. Although management believes this approach leads to more effective year-over-year comparisons, neither the time frame nor the exact practice may be similar to those used by other restaurant companies.

We offer franchises for the Fuddruckers brand. Franchises are sold in markets where expansion is deemed advantageous to the development of the Fuddruckers concept and system of restaurants. Franchise revenue includes (1) royalties paid to us as the franchisor for the Fuddruckers brand; (2) funds paid to us as the franchisor for pooled advertising expenditures; and (3) amortization of initial and renewal franchise fees paid to us when franchise units are openedand remaining unamortized franchisee fees for business or transferred to new owners and when franchise agreements are renewed or certain milestones in franchise agreements are reached.that terminate early. Cost of franchise operations includes the direct costs associated with supporting franchisees with opening new Fuddruckers franchised restaurants and the corporate overhead expenses associated with generating franchise revenue. These corporate expenses primarily include the salaries and benefits, travel and related expenses, and other expenses for employees whose primary job function involves supporting our franchise owners and the development of new franchise locations.


Beginning with the first quarter fiscal 2019, as a result of our adoption of the new revenue accounting standards more fully described in Note 1 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements:

The healthcare accounts are full service and typically include in-room delivery, catering, vending, coffee service, and retail dining. Culinary Contract Services has contracts with long-term acute care hospitals, acute care medical centers, ambulatory surgical centers, behavioral hospitals, sports stadiums, and business and industry clients. Culinary Contract Services has the unique ability to deliver quality services that include facility design and procurement as well as nutrition and branded food services to our clients. We operated 32 Culinary Contract Services locations at the end of the quarter ended June 5, 2019 and 25 at the end of the quarter ended June 6, 2018. We focus on clients who are able to enter into agreements in which all operating costs are reimbursed to us and we generally charge a fixed fee. Thesefee as opposed to agreements where we retain all revenues and operating costs and we are exposed to the variability of the operating results of the location. The fixed fee agreements typically present lower financial risk to the company. We operated 33 Culinary Contract Services locations as of March 11, 2020 and 28 as of March 13, 2019.
