Item 1.  Financial Statements (continued).

                              LUBY'S CAFETERIAS, INC. 
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   May 31, 1998

                                    (UNAUDITED)

Note 1:  The accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented in 
         accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, consequently, do 
         not include all of the disclosures normally required by generally 
         accepted accounting principles.  All adjustments which are, in the 
         opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results 
         for the interim periods have been made.  All such adjustments are of 
         a normal recurring nature.  The results for the interim period are 
         not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the 
         full year.

         These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 
         consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Luby's 
         annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1997.  The 
         accounting policies used in preparing these consolidated financial 
         statements are the same as those described in Luby's annual report 
         on Form 10-K.

Note 2:  During the quarter ended February 28, 1998, the company adopted 
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per 
         Share.  Statement 128 replaced the previously reported primary and 
         fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per 
         share.  Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share 
         excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible 
         securities.  Diluted earnings per share is very similar to the 
         reviously reported fully diluted earnings per share.  Earnings per 
         share amounts for all periods have been restated to conform to the 
         requirements of Statement 128.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources
_______________________________

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $4,118,000 from the end of the 
preceding fiscal year to May 31, 1998.  All capital expenditures for fiscal 
1998 are being funded from cash flows from operations, cash equivalents, and 
long-term debt.  Capital expenditures for the nine months ended May 31, 1998, 
were $18,446,000.  As of May 31, 1998, the company owned three undeveloped 
land sites and one land site on which a cafeteria is under construction.

During fiscal year 1997 the company purchased 897,500 shares of its common 
stock at a cost of $19,918,000, 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 $125,000,000 
line-of-credit agreement.  As of May 31, 1998, the amount outstanding under 
this line of credit was $77,000,000.  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 May 31, 1998 compared to the quarter ended May 31, 1997.
______________________________________________________________________

Sales increased $3,600,000, or 2.8%, due to the addition of five new 
cafeterias in fiscal 1998 and 27 in fiscal 1997, and due to a slight increase 
in average sales volume at cafeterias opened over one year.  This increase 
was partially offset by the closing of five units, two in August 1997, two in 
September 1997, and one in January 1998.

Cost of food increased $2,173,000, or 7.0%.  As a percentage of sales, food 
costs were higher versus the prior year due to higher commodity prices 
resulting from poor weather conditions, new menu item testing, and higher 
fish prices.  Payroll and related costs increased $1,500,000, or 4.0%, due 
primarily to the increase in sales and the higher federal minimum wage which 
increased first on October 1, 1996, and again on September 1, 1997.
Occupancy and other operating expenses increased $742,000, or 1.9%, due 
primarily to the increase in sales.  This increase was partially offset by 
lower preopening expenses due to fewer new store openings as compared to the 
prior year. General and administrative expenses increased $321,000, or 5.1%, 
due to higher legal and professional fees associated with the company's 
strategic planning project.  This increase was partially offset by a lower 
profit sharing contribution estimated for fiscal 1998 as compared to the 
estimate of the contribution for the same period in the prior year.  Lump 
sum severance agreements were recorded during both periods.

Interest expense increased $210,000 due primarily to lower capitalized 
interest on qualifying properties as a result of less construction in the 
current period.

The provision for income taxes decreased $494,000, or 9.9%, due primarily to 
lower income from operations.  The effective income tax rate increased from 
34.3% to 35.6% since the rate in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 was more 
significantly impacted by the company restructuring into a holding company.

Nine months ended May 31, 1998 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 
1997.
_____________________________________________________________________________

Sales increased $10,359,000, or 2.8%, due primarily to the addition of five 
new cafeterias in fiscal 1998 and 27 in fiscal 1997.  The sales increase from 
new cafeterias was partially offset by a slight decrease in sales volume at 
cafeterias opened over one year and the closing of five units, two in August 
1997, two in September 1997, and one in January 1998.

Cost of food increased $5,876,000, or 6.5%, due primarily to the increase in 
sales.  As a percentage of sales, food costs were higher versus the prior 
year due to higher commodity prices resulting from poor weather conditions, 
new menu item testing, and product promotions featured during the period 
which had slightly higher food costs.  Payroll and related costs increased 
$6,933,000, or 6.4%, due primarily to the increase in sales and the higher 
federal minimum wage which increased first on October 1, 1996, and again on 
September 1, 1997.  Occupancy and other operating expenses increased 
$3,386,000, or 3.0%, due primarily to the increase in sales.  With the slight 
decline in same-store sales for the nine months ended May 31, 1998, certain 
fixed expenses in this category have increased as a percentage of sales, 
including depreciation, property taxes, utilities, rent, repairs, and group 
insurance.  These increases were partially offset by lower preopening 
expenses due to fewer store openings as compared to the prior period.  In 
addition, managers' salaries, which are based on the profitability of the 
cafeterias, decreased as a percent of sales due to lower store profits.  
General and administrative expenses decreased $353,000, or 2.0%, due 
primarily to a lower profit sharing contribution estimated for fiscal 1998 as 
compared to the estimate of the contribution for the same period in the prior 
year.  This decrease was partially offset by higher legal and professional 
fees associated with the company's strategic planning process.  

Interest expense increased $1,127,000 due to lower capitalized interest on 
qualifying properties as a result of less construction in the current period 
and slightly higher borrowing rates under the interest rate swap agreements.

The provision for income taxes decreased $2,187,000, or 15.7%, due primarily 
to lower income from operations.  The effective income tax rate increased 
from 34.8% to 35.6%.

The Year 2000
_____________

Some of the company's older computer programs were written using two digits 
rather than four to define the applicable year.  As a result, those computer 
programs have time-sensitive software that recognizes a date using "00" as 
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000.  This could cause a system failure 
or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other 
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, code invoices, or 
engage in similar normal business activities.

The company has assessed the issue and will modify or replace its software so 
that its computer systems function properly with respect to dates in the year 
2000 and thereafter.  The company does not expect that the year 2000 issue 
will materially affect future financial results.

Forward-Looking Statements
__________________________

The company wishes to caution readers that various factors could cause the 
actual results of the company to differ materially from those indicated by 
forward-looking statements made from time to time in news releases, reports, 
proxy statements, registration statements, and other written communications 
(including the preceding sections of this Management's Discussion and 
Analysis), as well as oral statements made from time to time by 
representatives of the company. Except for historical information, matters 
discussed in such oral and written communications are forward-looking 
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to 
general business conditions, the impact of competition, the success of 
operating initiatives, changes in the cost and supply of food and labor, the 
seasonality of the company's business, taxes, inflation, and governmental 
regulations.
