NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company
without audit, except for the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
1995. The financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal,
recurring adjustments and accruals, which the Company considers necessary for
fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted. This information is contained in the Company's December
31, 1995, consolidated financial statements filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the condensed statements of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.
Goodwill and Non-Compete Agreements
Goodwill and non-compete agreements are amortized over 30 years and 15
years (or the life of the related agreement), respectively.
Earnings per Share
Net income per share has been computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average common and common share equivalents outstanding, if material.
Common stock equivalent shares, which relate to stock options, are included in
the weighted average using the treasury stock method, when the effect is
material and dilutive.
New Accounting Principles
In October 1995, SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" was
issued. This statement establishes a fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based compensation plans. The Company currently accounts for its stock-
based compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Pursuant to the new standard the
Company will provide certain pro forma disclosures related to its stock based
compensation in the notes to its financial statements for the year ending
December 31, 1996.

2. Business Combination
On August 9, 1996, the Company, under an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement") exchanged 1.8 million newly issued common shares and .1
million newly issued preferred shares for all of the outstanding common and
preferred shares of Bayport. Accordingly, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company merged with and into Bayport Restaurant Group, Inc. ("Bayport")
("PORT"/NASDAQ), resulting in Bayport becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company (the "Merger"). Bayport operated 17 full-service casual dining seafood
restaurants under the name "The Crab House". Bayport's Crab House restaurants
are located primarily in Florida.
The exchange of shares was accounted for as a pooling of interests, and,
accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
restated to include the accounts and operations of Bayport for all periods
presented. Adjustments to the balance sheet accounts of Bayport to account for
the merger exchange ratios of common and preferred stock include
reclassifications of stockholder's equity account balances for the restatement
to the equivalent shares issued for Bayport shares as a result of the merger.
Separate results for the combining entities for the most recent interim period
prior to acquisition (six months ended June 30, 1996), for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as

5. Contingencies
The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the
ordinary course of its business. Management believes, based on discussions with
its legal counsel and in consideration of reserves recorded, that the outcome of
all legal actions will not have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated
financial position and results of operations of the Company.

LANDRY'S SEAFOOD RESTAURANTS, INC.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
The Company's operations may be impacted by changes in federal and state taxes
and other federal and state governmental policies, which include many possible
factors such as the level of minimum wages, the deductibility of business and
entertainment expenses, levels of disposable income, and national and regional
economic growth. The recent enactment of staged increases to federally mandated
minimum wage will increase the Company's labor costs.
Upon the consummation of the merger with Bayport, the Company recognized a
one-time charge of approximately $16.6 million, after provision for income
taxes. In addition, the Company's restaurant base has increased significantly
through the acquisition of the Bayport restaurants pursuant to the merger. Such
restaurants have materially different profit margins, costs to construct, costs
of sales, operating expenses, and other restaurant performance factors than the
Company's existing restaurants. The Company is making efforts to reduce
construction and operating costs of the Bayport restaurants without reducing
the quality of their service or food. However, there can be no assurances that
the Company will be able to operate the Bayport restaurants in a manner that is
different from the way such restaurants were historically constructed and
operated. As a result, the Company's profit margin, cost to construct, cost of
sales as percentages of restaurant sales, operating expenses and other
restaurant performance factors on an ongoing basis may be materially different
than the Company's on a historical stand-alone basis.
The report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which are intended to be covered
by the safe harbors created thereby. Investors are cautioned that all forward-
looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including without limitation,
the ability of the Company to continue its accelerated expansion strategy,
successful integration of the Crab House restaurants into the Company, changes
in costs of food, labor, and employee benefits, the ability of the Company to
continue to acquire prime locations at acceptable lease or purchase terms, as
well as general market conditions, competition, and pricing. Although the
Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements
contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and
therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements
included in this report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant
uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the
inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the
Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be
achieved.

LANDRY'S SEAFOOD RESTAURANTS, INC.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 1995
Revenues increased $20,604,297 or 47.1%, from $43,785,825 to $64,390,122, in
the three months ended September 30, 1996, compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1995. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to
revenues from new restaurant openings, offset by a reduction in processing plant
revenues of $2,343,148. There was a nominal change in revenues from restaurants
opened prior to 1995. Several of the Company's restaurants that opened during
late 1994 and early 1995 opened at volumes in excess of the Company's average
unit volumes. Subsequently, however, the Company has experienced a moderation
of their initial unit volumes.
As a primary result of increased revenues, restaurant cost of sales increased
$7,020,859 or 53.3%, from $13,179,406 to $20,200,265 in the three months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in the prior year. Restaurant
cost of sales as a percentage of restaurant revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 decreased to 31.4% from 31.8% in 1995. The decrease in cost
of sales as a percentage of revenues reflects favorable product prices and
better management cost controls in 1996.
Restaurant labor expenses increased $5,542,341, or 51.9%, from $10,681,895 to
$16,224,236 in the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same
period in the prior year. Restaurant labor expenses as a percentage of
restaurant revenues for three months ended September 30, 1996 decreased to 25.2%
from 25.8% in 1995, due to a focused emphasis by management on labor costs,
particularly overtime.
Other restaurant operating expenses increased $5,690,039 or 63.6%, from
$8,941,730 to $14,631,769 in the three months ended September 30, 1996, compared
to the same period in the prior year, as a result of increased revenues and the
opening of new restaurants since September 30, 1995. Such expenses increased as
a percentage of restaurant revenues to 22.7% from 21.6% primarily a result of
higher occupancy and other operating costs of new Crab House restaurants.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $1,072,120, or 52.4%, from
$2,045,765 to $3,117,885 in the three months ended September 30, 1996, compared
to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the
addition of new restaurants and purchases of new equipment.
12
LANDRY'S SEAFOOD RESTAURANTS, INC.
General and administrative expenses decreased $241,956, or 11.2%, from
$2,158,535 to $1,916,579 compared to the same period of the prior year, and
decreased as a percentage of total revenues to 3.0% from 4.9% if taken as
percent of total sales. The dollar decrease resulted primarily from closure of
Bayport's corporate offices and termination of substantially all office
employees upon the consummation of the merger, whereby Bayport's portion of
general and administrative expenses were substantially reduced. The percentage
of revenues decrease was attributable to particularly strong revenue growth
combined with the decrease in general and administrative expense for the
comparable three month period.
The decrease in processing plant revenues and costs were attributable to the
elimination of the plant as the plant was determined to be unprofitable and not
strategic or significant to the Company's operations.
The increase in net interest income of $606,842 is the result of higher cash
balances in the three months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same
period in the prior year, resulting from the most recent stock offering. The
increase in other expense, net of $109,027, was not deemed significant.
Provision for income taxes changed by $7,899,348 from $1,904,966 in 1995 to
($5,994,382) in 1996 primarily due to the change in the Company's income. The
effective income tax rates increased to approximately 36% from the 1995
effective tax rates due to a higher effective federal rate in 1996 as compared
to 1995, and as a result of higher state income taxes.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
1995
Revenues increased $65,905,341, or 55.9%, from $117,840,761 to $183,746,102 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1995. The increase in revenues was attributable to revenues from
new restaurant openings, offset by a decrease in processing plant revenues of
$2,233,821. There was a nominal change in revenues from units opened prior to
1995. Several of the Company's restaurants that opened during late 1994 and
early 1995 opened at volumes in excess of the Company's average unit volumes.
Subsequently, however, the Company has experienced a moderation of their initial
unit volumes.
As a primary result of increased revenues, cost of sales increased
$20,255,524, or 56.4%, from $35,932,090 to $56,187,614 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in the prior year. Cost of sales
as a percentage of restaurant revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 decreased to 31.2% from 32.1% in 1995. The decrease in cost of sales as a
percentage of restaurant revenues reflects favorable product prices and better
management cost controls in 1996.

Restaurant labor expenses increased $17,780,265, or 62.9%, from $28,255,532 to
$46,035,797 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same
period in the prior year. Restaurant labor expenses as a percentage of
restaurant revenues for nine months ended September 30, 1996, increased to 25.5%
from 25.2% in 1995. The increase in restaurant labor as a percentage of
restaurant revenues was primarily a result of increased labor costs of new Crab
House restaurants.
Other restaurant operating expenses increased $15,204,095, or 63.2%, from
$24,060,098 to $39,264,193 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared
to the same period in the prior year, as a result of increased revenues and the
opening of new restaurants since September 30, 1995. Such expenses increased as
a percentage of revenues to 21.8% from 21.5% primarily a result of higher
occupancy and other operating costs of new Crab House restaurants.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $4,576,286 or 88.4% from
$5,174,470 to $9,750,756 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared
to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the
addition of new restaurants and purchases of new equipment.
General and administrative expenses increased $985,280, or 15.6%, from
$6,314,100 to $7,299,380 compared to the same period of the prior year, and
decreased as a percentage of total revenues to 4.0% from 5.4%. The increase in
general and administrative expenses occurred in the first seven months of the
year while Landry's and Bayport operated as separate companies and were
increasing the general and administrative expenses to support each company's
separate growth plans. However, upon the consummation of the merger, Bayport's
corporate offices were closed and substantially all of Bayport's office
employees were terminated. As a result, the third quarter general and
administrative expenses were less than the combined expenses of the separate
companies for the third quarter of 1995.
The decrease in net interest income of $20,303 and change in other expense,
net of $204,398, are not deemed significant.
Provision for income taxes changed by $6,226,157 from $4,953,562 in 1995 to
$(1,272,595) in 1996 primarily due to the change in the Company's income. The
effective income tax rates increased to approximately 37.3% from the 1995
effective tax rates due to a higher effective federal rate in 1996 as compared
to 1995, and as a result of higher state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
In 1994 and 1995 the Company, exclusive of Bayport, spent approximately $31
million and $72 million on capital expenditures. Since 1993, the Company has
funded capital expenditures primarily from proceeds of common stock offerings,
and in part from cash flow from operations of approximately $10 million and $19
million, respectively. Separately, Bayport spent approximately $5 million and
$19 million in 1994 and 1995 on capital expenditures. In recent years and
through the date of the merger, Bayport primarily funded capital expenditures
out of borrowings.
The combined capital expenditures of the Company was approximately $11 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and $44 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. The Company funded capital expenditures out of
existing cash balances and cash flow from operations during 1996. Bayport's
portion of capital expenditures were funded, up to the date of the merger, out
of additional borrowings. In addition, the Company incurred merger costs related
to the acquisition of Bayport and repaid the pre-merger outstanding indebtness
of Bayport. As a result, the combined entities cash balances declined from
approximately $119 million at June 30, 1996 immediately prior to the merger, to
approximately $80 million at September 30, 1996, and the outstanding debt of the
combined companies was eliminated.
The Company's current development plan is to open several additional restaurants
in 1996, and to open up to 25 restaurants in 1997. Exclusive of any
acquisitions or large real estate purchases, the Company currently expects to
incur capital expenditures of up to $10-$15 million for the 4th quarter of 1996
and $50-$60 million in 1997, depending upon the actual timing of construction
expenditures, the number of land purchases, and the mix of leased, owned or
conversion type locations. The Company expects that its average per unit
investment, excluding real estate costs and pre-opening expenses, to approximate
$2 million. Crab House restaurants have historically been a significantly
higher average unit investment cost due to their size, geographic location and
other factors. On a go-forward basis, the Company will attempt to reduce the
average new unit investment costs of future Crab House restaurants to an amount
more comparable to the Company's other restaurants. However, individual unit
investment costs can vary from management's expectations due to a variety of
factors. Moreover, average unit investment costs are dependent upon many
factors, including competition for sites, location, construction costs, unit
size and the mix of conversions, build-to-suit, leased and fee-owned locations.
The Company currently anticipates that it will continue to purchase a portion of
its new restaurant locations, which are expected to be more costly than leased
locations. The Company believes that existing cash balances, cash generated
from operations and potential financing sources will be sufficient to satisfy
the Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements through 1997.

Seasonality and Quarterly Results
The Company's business is seasonal in nature, with revenues and, to a greater
degree, operating profits being lower in the first and fourth quarters than in
other quarters due to the Company's reduced winter volumes. The timing of unit
openings can and will affect quarterly results. The Company anticipates some
moderation in revenues from the initial volumes of new units. The timing of
unit openings can and will affect quarterly results.
Impact of Inflation
Management does not believe that inflation has had a significant effect on the
Company's operations during the past several years. Management believes the
Company has historically been able to pass on increased costs through menu price
increases, but there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so in the
future. Future increases in land and construction costs could adversely affect
the Company's ability to expand.
