Financial Statements (continued). LUBY'S CAFETERIAS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS February 29, 1996 (UNAUDITED) Note 1: All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Note 2: Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to current year presentation. Note 3: The Company entered into a new $100 million credit facility with a syndication of four banks. As part of this credit facility, the Company has a revolving credit agreement which allows borrowings for varying periods through February 27, 2001, at the lower of the prime rate or other rate options available at the time of borrowing. The credit facility includes a maximum commitment for letters of credit of $20 million. The Company pays a facility fee of .1% on the total commitment. The credit facility contains business covenants which, among other things, impose certain financial restrictions on the Company relating primarily to leverage and net worth. As of February 29, 1996, the balance outstanding under the revolving credit agreement was $53,000,000 at an interest rate of 5.54%. Part I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources _______________________________ Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $10,890,000 from the end of the preceding fiscal year to February 29, 1996. All capital expenditures for fiscal 1996 are being funded from cash flows from operations, cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, and long-term debt. Capital expenditures for the six months ended February 29, 1996, were $20,604,000. As of February 29, 1996, the Company owned 16 undeveloped land sites and nine land sites on which cafeterias are under construction. During fiscal 1995 the Company purchased 2,000,000 shares of its common stock at a cost of $45,176,000, which are being held as treasury stock. To complete the treasury stock purchases and fund capital expenditures, the Company required external financing and borrowed funds under a $100,000,000 line-of-credit agreement. During February 1996, the Company entered into a new $100 million credit facility with a syndication of four banks. As part of this credit facility, the Company has a revolving credit agreement which allows borrowings for varying periods through February 27, 2001, at the lower of the prime rate or other rate options available at the time of borrowing. As of February 29, 1996, the amount outstanding under this revolving credit agreement was $53,000,000. The Company believes that additional financing from external sources can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company in the event such financing is required. Results of Operations _____________________ Quarter ended February 29, 1996 compared to the quarter ended February 28, 1995. ______________________________________________________________________________ Sales increased $8,265,000, or 8.2%, due to the addition of eight new cafeterias in fiscal 1996 and 11 in fiscal 1995, and due to an increase in average sales volume at cafeterias opened over one year. Cost of food increased $1,498,000, or 6.1%, due primarily to the increase in sales and was offset by improved margins from the price increase on the Lu Ann Platter, which took effect on December 1, 1995. Payroll and related costs increased $2,579,000, or 9.4%, due primarily to the increase in sales, higher wages for hourly employees in existing cafeterias, and higher wage costs associated with increased expansion over the prior year. Occupancy and other operating expenses increased $2,147,000, or 7.2%, due primarily to the increase in sales; the opening of four new cafeterias; and higher managers' salaries, which are based on the profitability of the cafeterias. General and administrative expenses increased $510,000, or 10.7%, due primarily to two additional area vice president positions, higher manager trainee salaries, and higher moving expenses, all associated with the increased number of new store openings. Interest expense increased $302,000 due to higher borrowings under the line-of-credit agreement. Six months ended February 29, 1996 compared to the six months ended February 28, 1995. ______________________________________________________________________________ Sales increased $15,156,000, or 7.5%, due primarily to the addition of eight new cafeterias in fiscal 1996 and 11 in fiscal 1995, and due to an increase in average sales volume at cafeterias opened over one year. Cost of food increased $3,232,000, or 6.5%, due primarily to the increase in sales and was offset by improved margins from price increases. Payroll and related costs increased $5,070,000, or 9.2%, due primarily to the increase in sales, higher wages for hourly employees in existing cafeterias, and higher wage costs associated with increased expansion over the prior year. Occupancy and other operating expenses increased $4,357,000, or 7.3%, due primarily to the increase in sales; the opening of eight new cafeterias; and higher managers' salaries, which are based on the profitability of the cafeterias. General and administrative expenses increased $714,000, or 7.5%, due primarily to additional corporate expenses associated with the increased number of new store openings as discussed above. Interest expense increased $750,000 due to higher borrowings under the line-of-credit agreement. Part II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
