1. Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

LRI Holdings, Inc. (“LRI Holdings”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) are engaged in the operation and development of the Logan’s Roadhouse restaurant chain. As of October 28, 2015, our restaurants operate in 23 states and are comprised of 230 company-owned restaurants and 26 franchised restaurants. LRI Holdings operates its business as one operating and one reportable segment.

The Company previously operated on a 52 or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Sunday nearest to July 31. The fiscal year ended August 2, 2015 was comprised of 52 weeks. On May 26, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in fiscal year end from a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to July 31st to a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Wednesday closest to December 31st. The Company will file a transition report on Form 10-K covering the transition period from August 3, 2015 to December 30, 2015 (the "Transition Period"), which is the period between the closing of the Company's most recently completed fiscal year and the opening date of the newly selected fiscal year. The quarter presented in this Form 10-Q filing is presented for the time period from August 3, 2015 to October 28, 2015, which is comparable to our fiscal year 2015 Form 10-Q filing for the first quarter ended November 2, 2014, however the period from August 3, 2015 to October 28, 2015 is four days shorter than the first quarter of fiscal year 2015.

On October 4, 2010, LRI Holdings was acquired by certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Roadhouse Holding Inc. (“RHI”), a Delaware corporation owned by affiliates of Kelso & Company, L.P. (the “Kelso Affiliates”) and certain members of management (the “Management Investors”). After the acquisition transactions (the “Transactions”), the Kelso Affiliates owned 97% and the Management Investors owned 3% of the outstanding capital stock of RHI. Because LRI Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RHI, RHI is the ultimate parent of LRI Holdings.

Basis of presentation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated during consolidation.

Interim financial statements

We have prepared these condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the period from August 3, 2015 to October 28, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the transition period ending December 30, 2015. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 2, 2015 (the "Form 10-K"). The accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in the Form 10-K.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), an amendment to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 delaying the effective date for adoption. This update is now effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, which will require us to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Early adoption is permitted. This update permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The guidance requires management of the Company to

Table of Contents

evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, which will require us to adopt these provisions in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016. The Company is still evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The guidance changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements from an asset on the balance sheet to a reduction from the related debt liability. The amortized costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. This update is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, which will require us to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this accounting guidance, but it is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. The update provides guidance on whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, which will require us to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this accounting guidance, but it is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330). This update requires inventory within the scope of the standard to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Previous guidance required inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or market (where market was defined as replacement cost, with a ceiling of net realizable value and floor of net realizable value less a normal profit margin). This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which will require us to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

2. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt obligations at October 28, 2015 and August 2, 2015, consist of the following:



	October 28, 2015		August 2, 2015
Senior Secured Notes, bearing interest at 10.75%	$	143,936	$	355,000
Series 2015-1 Notes, bearing interest at 10.75%	112,551		—

	391,365		374,175
Less: current maturities	—		—
Long-term debt, less current maturities	$	391,365	$	374,175

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, as amended

In connection with the Transactions, Logan’s Roadhouse, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of LRI Holdings, entered into the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolver") which provides a $30.0 million revolving credit facility. Effective December 19, 2014, the Company executed an amendment to the Revolver which extended the maturity date to April 30, 2017. As of October 28, 2015, the Company had borrowings of $25.1 million drawn on the Revolver and $4.9 million of undrawn outstanding letters of credit resulting in available credit of zero.

The Revolver is collateralized on a first-priority basis by a security agreement, which includes the tangible and intangible assets of the borrower and those of LRI Holdings and all of its subsidiaries, and is guaranteed by LRI Holdings and the subsidiaries of Logan’s Roadhouse, Inc.

Senior Secured Notes

In connection with the Transactions, Logan’s Roadhouse, Inc. issued $355.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes (the "Notes") in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers. In July 2011, the Company completed an exchange offering which allowed the holders of those notes to exchange their notes for notes identical in all material respects except they are registered with the SEC and are not subject to transfer restrictions. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.75% per

Table of Contents

annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15. The Notes mature on October 15, 2017. On October 15, 2015, the Company and Logan’s Roadhouse completed a note exchange, for a portion of the Notes, as described in the Series 2015 Notes section below.

The Notes are secured on a second-priority basis by the collateral securing the Revolver and are guaranteed by LRI Holdings and the subsidiaries of Logan’s Roadhouse, Inc.

Subsequent to October 15, 2013, Logan’s Roadhouse, Inc. may redeem all or part of the Senior Secured Notes at redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) ranging from 108.1% to 100.0%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. As of October 28, 2015, no portion of the Notes have been redeemed.

The Revolver and the Indenture that governs the Notes contain significant financial and operating covenants. The non-financial covenants include prohibitions on the Company and the Company’s guarantor subsidiaries’ ability to incur certain additional indebtedness or to pay dividends. Additionally, the Indenture subjects the Company to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as a non-accelerated filer, even if the Company is not specifically required to comply with such sections of the Exchange Act. Failure to comply with these covenants constitutes a default and may lead to the acceleration of the principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes. On January 24, 2014 the Company executed an amendment to the Revolver which included: removing the previous consolidated leverage and consolidated interest coverage covenants; adding a consolidated first lien leverage covenant and amending the maximum capital expenditure limit in each of the remaining years. The terms of the amendment also included an increase in the applicable margin for borrowings; payment of a consent fee and a requirement to provide monthly unaudited preliminary financial statements to the lenders under the Revolver. On December 19, 2014, the Company executed an amendment to the Revolver which in addition to extending the maturity date to April 30, 2017, included the following: removal of the swingline subfacility; reduced the maximum capital expenditure limit in each of the remaining years of the extended facility; amended the required consolidated first lien leverage ratio for the extended term of the facility; amended requirements for all or a portion of net cash proceeds of certain asset sales to include prepayment of any then outstanding borrowings; required an amendment to the advisory agreement with Kelso to restrict payment of deferred advisory fees until after the final maturity date of the Revolver; and required payment of a consent fee. Effective October 15, 2015, in connection with the note exchanges described below, the Company executed an amendment to the Revolver permitting the exchanges and amended, among other things, the required consolidated first lien leverage ratio to 1.00:1.00 until December 27, 2016 and 0.75:1.00 for the term of the facility. For the period ended October 28, 2015, our first lien leverage ratio was 0.85 times Consolidated EBITDA, compared to our maximum allowable first lien leverage ratio of 1.00 times. As of October 28, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all material covenants.

Series 2015 Notes

On October 15, 2015, the Company and Logan’s Roadhouse completed an exchange with the Kelso Affiliates, as holders of approximately $106.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, pursuant to which the Kelso Affiliates were issued approximately $112.6 million aggregate issue price of Logan’s Roadhouse’s Series 2015-1 Senior Secured Zero Coupon Notes due in 2017 (the “Series 2015-1 Notes”) in exchange for the Notes held by the Kelso Affiliates. Furthermore, on October 15, 2015, the Company and Logan’s Roadhouse completed an exchange with other holders of approximately $104.3 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes pursuant to which such holders were issued approximately $109.7 million aggregate issue price of Logan’s Roadhouse’s Series 2015-2 Senior Secured Notes due in 2017 (the “Series 2015-2 Notes” and together with the Series 2015-1 Notes, the “Series 2015 Notes”). Following these exchanges (the "Notes Exchange"), only $143.9 million of Notes remains outstanding.

The Series 2015 Notes will mature on October 16, 2017, and each series was issued with original issue discount (“OID”). OID on the Series 2015-1 Notes will have an accretion rate of 10.75% per annum, compounded semi-annually. No cash interest will be paid on the Series 2015-1 Notes, and the accreted value of each Series 2015-1 Note will increase from the date of issuance until maturity. The Series 2015-2 Notes will have a cash interest rate of 4.00% per annum that will be payable semi-annually in arrears. OID on the Series 2015-2 Notes will have an accretion rate of 10.50% per annum, compounded semi-annually. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Series 2015-2 Notes, Logan’s Roadhouse may elect to make optional cash interest payments at a rate of 14.50% per annum in lieu of both the 4.00% per annum cash interest rate and the 10.50% per annum accretion rate otherwise required under the Series 2015-2 Notes. Subject to the foregoing, the accreted value of each Series 2015-2 Note will increase from the date of issuance until maturity. With the exception of the maturity date, interest rate, accretion rate, cash toggle and payment terms described above for the Series 2015-1 Notes and the Series 2015-2 Notes, the terms are substantially the same as the Notes. The Series 2015 Notes are secured by substantially all of the tangible and intangible property and assets (subject to certain exceptions) of the Company, Logan’s Roadhouse and the subsidiary guarantors, on a second priority basis.

Table of Contents

In connection with the Notes Exchange described above, Logan’s Roadhouse entered into a side letter with the holders of the Series 2015-2 Notes providing for certain limitations on the activities of Logan’s Roadhouse, including making dividend distributions and engaging in certain refinancings.

Debt issuance and modification costs

The Company initially incurred $19.2 million of debt issuance costs in connection with obtaining the financings of the Notes and Revolver. As part of the amendments to the Revolver, we incurred $0.5 million of additional debt costs. These costs were capitalized and will be amortized to interest expense over the lives of the respective debt instruments. The Company incurred $3.8 million of debt modification costs associated with the Series 2015 Notes Exchange, this transaction is accounted for as a debt modification and these third-party fees were thus expensed by the Company.

3. Restaurant Impairment and Closing Charges

The Company performs long-lived asset impairment analyses throughout the year. During the period from August 3, 2015 to October 28, 2015, the Company wrote-off additional asset expenditures with respect to restaurants that had been previously impaired and also determined that two additional restaurants had carrying amounts in excess of their fair values. During the period from August 4, 2014 to November 2, 2014, the Company wrote-off additional asset expenditures with respect to restaurants that had been previously impaired and also determined that no additional restaurants had carrying amounts in excess of their fair values. The assessments compared the carrying amounts of each restaurant to the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows of that restaurant and an impairment charge was recorded based on the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeded their fair value. Fair value was determined based on an assessment of individual site characteristics and local real estate market conditions along with estimates of future cash flows. Restaurant impairment charges were recorded as follows:



	Period from
	August 3, 2015 to October 28, 2015		August 4, 2014 to November 2, 2014
Restaurant impairment charges	$	923	$	—

4. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are made under a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring the fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, requiring the reporting entity to develop its

own assumptions.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 28, 2015 and August 2, 2015:



	Level	October 28, 2015		August 2, 2015
Deferred compensation plan assets(1)	1	$	1,460	$	1,463


(1)	Represents plan assets established under a Rabbi Trust for the Company’s non-qualified savings plan. The assets of the Rabbi Trust are invested in mutual funds and are reported at fair value based on active market quotes.

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts because of their short-term nature.

The carrying value of the Notes, excluding paid-in-kind interest, as of October 28, 2015 and August 2, 2015 was $355.0 million. The fair value of the Notes as of October 28, 2015 and August 2, 2015 was $273.4 million and $262.7 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s publicly traded debt is based on quoted market prices which are considered a Level 1 input. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Table of Contents

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

During the period from August 3, 2015 to October 28, 2015, the Company impaired two additional restaurants. The fair value of the restaurants was calculated using a cash flow model which included estimates for projected revenues, earnings and cash flows. The Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its long-lived assets held and used are unobservable inputs, and thus, are considered Level 3 inputs. See Note 3 for further information on the impairment of these long-lived assets.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The legal matter discussed below is subject to uncertainty and the outcome is not currently predictable. The Company is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss due to the Company's dispute over the merits of the claims and the early stage of the proceedings. The Company establishes reserves for litigation and similar matters when those matters present loss contingencies that we determine to be both probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 450, Contingencies. The Company provides disclosure for matters when management believes it is reasonably possible the outcome may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2014, two current employees filed a purported collective action lawsuit against the Company. The claim alleges violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”); specifically that employees were required to work in non-tip producing jobs while clocked in and paid as tipped employees and that the percentage of time in such jobs exceeded 20% of their work time. The claim seeks recovery for unpaid wages under various sections of the FLSA. The Company believes this claim is without merit and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

Additionally, the Company is subject to ongoing legal proceedings, claims and liabilities which arise in the normal course of business and are generally covered by insurance in excess of specified retention amounts. In the opinion of management, these matters are believed to be adequately covered by insurance or reserves, or, if not covered, the possibility of losses from such matters are believed to be remote or such matters are of such kind or involve such amounts that would not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company if disposed of unfavorably.

Guarantees

LRI Holdings has fully and unconditionally guaranteed both the Revolver and the Notes.

Indemnifications

The Company is party to certain indemnifications to third parties in the ordinary course of business. The probability of incurring an actual liability under such indemnifications is sufficiently remote, thus no liability has been recorded.

6. Share-Based Awards and Compensation Plans

On January 18, 2011, RHI adopted the Roadhouse Holding Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”), pursuant to which options to purchase approximately 13%, or 345,000 shares, of the common stock of RHI on a fully diluted basis were available for grant to our directors, officers and key employees. On March 8, 2013, the 2011 Plan was amended to increase the number of shares authorized to 400,000 shares; and on October 4, 2014, the plan was further amended to increase the number of shares authorized to 640,000 shares. On June 12, 2015, RHI approved a one-time stock option exchange program (the “Stock Option Exchange Program”). In connection with the Stock Option Exchange Program, the 2011 Plan was amended to increase the number of shares authorized to 1,000,000 shares. Under the Stock Option Exchange Program, all current employees and directors of the Company were offered the opportunity to exchange their outstanding time-based options and performance-based options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock granted under the 2011 Plan, as amended June 12, 2015 (the "Amended Plan"), for a lesser number of performance-based options. Under the Stock Option Exchange Program, one new performance-based option with an exercise price equal to $50 per share (a "Tranche A" option) was offered in exchange for every four outstanding time-based options, and one new performance-based option with an exercise price equal to $100 per share (a "Tranche B" option) was offered in exchange for every four outstanding performance-based options. As of October 28, 2015, approximately 43% of the option pool remains available for future grants. Options granted under the 2011 Plan and Amended Plan expire on the ten-year anniversary of the grant date.

Table of Contents

Options granted under the 2011 Plan include time-based options and performance-based options. Options granted under the Amended Plan are performance-based options and time-based options with performance requirements. Compensation expense for time-based options is recognized over the requisite service period for the award. Upon a change in control of RHI, all time-based options fully vest. Options with performance requirements do not become exercisable unless and until the Kelso Affiliates, in connection with certain change of control transactions (i) receive proceeds in excess of $50 per share beneficially owned by the Kelso Affiliates (for Tranche A options) or (ii) receive proceeds in excess of $100 per share beneficially owned by the Kelso Affiliates (for Tranche B options). Pursuant to each option grant, provided the conditions described above are satisfied, 100% of the outstanding options will vest upon a change in control of RHI. The Company recognizes compensation expense for options with performance requirements when the achievement of the performance measures are deemed to be probable.

The following table summarizes stock option activity under the 2011 Plan for the period from August 3, 2015 to October 28, 2015:

7. Income Taxes

The Company routinely assesses whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. Based upon the Company’s level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods that the deferred tax assets are expected to be deductible, the Company had a recorded valuation allowance of $49.5 million as of August 2, 2015. Due to the recorded valuation allowance, the Company's effective tax rate was 0% for all periods presented.

8. Related Party Transactions

Table of Contents

In connection with the Transactions, Logan’s Roadhouse, Inc. entered into an advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with Kelso & Company, L.P. ("Kelso"). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, Kelso provides the Company with financial advisory and management consulting services in return for annual fees of $1.0 million to be paid quarterly. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Advisory Agreement was amended to defer payments of the advisory fee beginning with the quarterly payment due on October 1, 2013. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company executed an amendment to the Revolver which required an amendment to the advisory agreement with Kelso to restrict payment of deferred advisory fees until after the final maturity date of the Revolver. The accrued advisory fee as of October 28, 2015, included within other long-term obligations, was $2.1 million.

RHI has incurred a liability to former officers related to the repurchase of shares of RHI common stock. Pursuant to the Roadhouse Holding Inc. Stockholders Agreement, the Board of Directors elected to defer payment of the purchase price of the RHI shares previously held by those officers resulting in a liability of $2.5 million. All past and future payments related to these share repurchases are funded by LRI Holdings and create a receivable from RHI.

General

Logan’s Roadhouse is a full-service casual dining steakhouse offering specially seasoned aged steaks and sizzling southern-inspired dishes in a roadhouse atmosphere offering customers value-oriented, high quality, craveable food with welcoming hospitality and an upbeat atmosphere. Our restaurants have a relaxed, come-as-you-are environment where we encourage our customers to enjoy “bottomless buckets” of roasted in-shell peanuts and our made-from-scratch yeast rolls. Our entrée portions are generous and generally include a choice of two side items, all at affordable prices. We are committed to serving a variety of fresh food from specially seasoned aged steaks to farm-fresh salads to our signature entrées. We believe the freshness and distinctive flavor profiles of our signature dishes, coupled with the variety of our menu, differentiates us from our competitors. Our restaurants, which are open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, serve a broad and diverse customer base. We opened our first restaurant in Lexington, Kentucky in 1991 and as of October 28, 2015 have grown to a total of 230 company-owned restaurants and 26 franchised restaurants located across 23 states.

Overview

Our roadhouse theme provides a differentiated dining experience as an authentic, casual steakhouse. We attempt to create an atmosphere that is genuine, warm-hearted, and spirited, and we strive to make our customers life long friends. Our vision for the future is based on consistently delivering great experiences to our customers, continually adapting our brand to best meet the needs of our current and future customers and opening successful new restaurants. We believe this focus will enable us to retain our loyal customers and attract new customers to our restaurants which will lead to sustainable, continually improving financial results. We strive to create a unique experience providing a competitive differentiation in our industry. That differentiation is one of the factors that contributes to building our customer base and the frequency which our customers eat at our restaurants.The casual dining industry is intensely competitive and highly sensitive to economic trends, consumer preference and lifestyle trends and fluctuating costs. In addition, the casual dining segment faces competition from fast casual and other sectors of the restaurant industry looking to increase market share.

During the Transition Period and into fiscal year 2016, we expect our customers will continue to be impacted by high unemployment levels and other general economic challenges, which will limit their discretionary income. As a result, we anticipate that the landscape will remain competitive as restaurant operators compete for market share in a challenging environment. To address

Table of Contents

these challenges, our brand repositioning efforts focus on retaining our current value conscious customers, but also marketing to and attracting new customers in different demographics. We will also refocus our efforts on being a steakhouse with exceptional food and service with the intention of regaining market share. Although not as significant as in recent years, we continue to expect cost pressures primarily in the form of commodity inflation driven by overall tighter supplies. We plan to continue to focus on protecting restaurant margins while consistently delivering a great value and unique dining experience to our customers. While we have many initiatives in process that we believe will begin to impact our results in fiscal year 2016, we understand that restoring the strength of our operations and our brand is a long-term strategy. We remain confident that we are a growth concept and our ability to open new restaurants with strong unit level returns and to have sustained revenue and margin growth in existing restaurants will support our long-term plan for sustainable growth.

Key Measurements

The key measures we use to evaluate our performance include:

Average unit volume. Average unit volume represents the average sales for company-owned restaurants over a specified period of time. It is typically measured on a 52-week basis but may also be applied to other periods. Average unit volume reflects total company-owned restaurant sales divided by total operating weeks, which is the aggregate number of weeks that company-owned restaurants are in operation over a specified period of time.

Change in comparable restaurant sales. Comparable restaurants for a reporting period include company-owned restaurants that have been open for six or more full quarters at the beginning of the later of the two reporting periods being compared. Change in comparable restaurant sales reflects changes in sales over the prior year for a comparable group of restaurants over a specified period of time.

Average check. Average check includes net sales for company-owned restaurants over a specified period of time divided by the total number of customers served during the period. Management uses this indicator to analyze the dollars spent in our restaurants per customer. This measure aids management in identifying trends in customer preferences, as well as the effectiveness of menu price increases and other menu changes. Unless otherwise noted, we report this metric for comparable restaurants.

Customer traffic. Customer traffic is the total number of customers served over a specified period of time. Unless otherwise noted, we report this metric for comparable restaurants.

Adjusted EBITDA. We also evaluate our performance by using non-GAAP financial measures utilized by us and others in the restaurant industry. In particular, we regularly review our Adjusted EBITDA, which is described in more detail in the “Other Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below.

Q1 Transition Period (from August 3, 2015 to October 28, 2015) Compared to Q1 2015 (from August 4, 2014 to November 2, 2014)

TOTAL REVENUES

Net sales consist of food and beverage sales of company-owned restaurants and other miscellaneous income. Net sales decreased by $14.4 million, or 9.9% to $130.8 million in Q1 Transition Period compared to Q1 2015.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the period over period changes and key net sales drivers at company-owned restaurants for the periods presented:



	Q1 Transition Period
Net of restaurant closures and opening	(0.7		)%
Change in comparable restaurant sales	(4.3		)%
Shift in week ending date and four fewer days in Q1 Transition Period	(4.9		)%
Total increase (decrease) in restaurant sales	(9.9		)%

	Q1 Transition Period			Q1 2015
Comparable restaurants	228			228
Change in comparable restaurant sales	(4.3		)%	(1.3		)%
Restaurant operating weeks	2,859			3,042
Average check	$	14.95		$	14.48

The decrease in restaurant operating weeks for the periods presented above was due to the closure of five restaurants in fiscal year 2015, as well as the fact that the Q1 Transition Period is comprised of four fewer days than Q1 2015 due to the change in our fiscal year end date to the Wednesday closest to December 31st from the Sunday closest to July 31st. For our comparable restaurants, the decrease in customer traffic was 7.4% in Q1 Transition Period, offset by an increase in average check of 3.4%. The increase in average check in Q1 Transition Period included the effects of reduced discounting and increased menu pricing of 2.4%.

Franchise fees and royalties, for our two franchisees that operate 26 restaurants, remained constant from Q1 2015 to Q1 Transition Period.

TOTAL COSTS AND EXPENSES

Total costs and expenses decreased $5.0 million, or 3.4%, to $143.3 million in Q1 Transition Period compared to Q1 2015. As a percent of total revenues, total costs and expenses were 109.1% in Q1 Transition Period which increased from 101.8% in Q1 2015. The primary drivers of the fluctuations in total costs and expenses are as follows:

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold consists of food and beverage costs, along with related purchasing and distribution costs. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 35.9% in Q1 Transition Period from 36.0% in Q1 2015. The decrease in Q1 Transition Period is due primarily to pricing and favorable mix shifts offset by beef inflation of 17.8%. Commodity inflation was approximately 6.0% in Q1 Transition Period.

Labor and other related expenses

Labor and other related expenses consists of all restaurant management and hourly labor costs, including salaries, wages, benefits, bonuses and other indirect labor costs. Labor and other related expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 31.7% in Q1 Transition Period from 31.9% in Q1 2015. The decrease in the Q1 Transition Period was due to efficiencies resulting from operational improvement initiatives deployed throughout restaurant operations.

Occupancy costs

Occupancy costs include rent, common area maintenance, property taxes, licenses and other related fees. Occupancy costs, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 10.3% in Q1 Transition Period from 9.5% in Q1 2015. The increase was driven primarily by the sale and leaseback of eight restaurants during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, which resulted in additional rent expense.

Other restaurant operating expenses

Other restaurant operating expenses include all other restaurant-level operating costs, the major components of which are operating supplies, utilities, repairs and maintenance, advertising, general liability and credit card fees. Other restaurant operating

expenses, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 16.7% in Q1 Transition Period from 16.2% in Q1 2015. The increase in Q1 Transition Period resulted primarily from an increase of advertising spend.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization includes the depreciation of fixed assets and capitalized leasehold improvements and the amortization of intangible assets. Depreciation and amortization, as a percentage of total revenues, decreased to 3.4% in Q1 Transition Period from 3.5% in Q1 2015. The decrease resulted from the sale and leaseback of eight locations and closure of five restaurants in fiscal year 2015.

Pre-opening expenses

Pre-opening expenses consist of costs related to a new restaurant opening and primarily include manager salaries, employee payroll, travel, non-cash rent expense and other costs related to training and preparing new restaurants for opening. Pre-opening expenses will fluctuate from period to period based on the number and timing of restaurant openings. Our pre-opening costs (excluding rent) have remained constant at approximately $0.2 million per opening.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses are comprised of expenses associated with corporate and administrative functions that support restaurant operations and development. General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, increased to 10.6% in Q1 Transition Period from 4.9% in Q1 2015. Q1 Transition Period includes $3.8 million of debt modification costs associated with the Series 2015 Notes Exchange, as well as increased consulting fees and training, meeting and travel costs related to our operational improvement initiatives.

Restaurant impairment and closing charges

Restaurant impairment and closing charges include long-lived asset impairment charges and restaurant closing charges. In Q1 Transition Period, we recorded $0.9 million of restaurant impairment charges related to the impairment of two restaurants and additional asset expenditures with respect to restaurants that had been previously impaired. In Q1 2015, we recorded no restaurant impairment charges.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

Interest expense, net consists primarily of interest expense related to our debt, net of interest income, see the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for further detail. Interest expense, net increased to $12.4 million in Q1 Transition Period from $10.4 million in Q1 2015, due to PIK interest associated with the Series 2015 Notes Exchange.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

As of August 2, 2015, we had a recorded valuation allowance of $49.5 million which included all deferred tax assets.

Other Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax (benefit) expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted to reflect the additions and eliminations described in the table below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP, and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to those reported by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations are:


•	EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for, capital expenditures or contractual commitments;


•	EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;


•	EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our indebtedness;


•	Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of items identified as adjustments on our cash flow;


•	EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;

Table of Contents


•	although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and


•	other companies in the restaurant industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally. We further believe that our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides information that is useful to analysts and investors because it is an important indicator of the strength of our operations and the performance of our core business.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes restaurant impairment charges, pre-opening expenses (excluding rent), sponsor management fees, losses on disposal of property and equipment and property sales, share-based compensation, and non-cash rent, among other items. It is reasonable to expect that these items will occur in future periods. However, we believe these adjustments are appropriate partly because the amounts recognized can vary significantly from period to period and complicate comparisons of our internal operating results and operating results of other restaurant companies over time. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments for other items that we do not expect to regularly record, including goodwill and tradename impairments, restructuring costs, transaction costs, certain litigation and settlement fees and expenses recorded pursuant to accounting for business combinations. Each of the normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described in this paragraph and in the reconciliation table below help to provide management with a measure of our core operating performance over time by removing items that are not related to day-to-day restaurant level operations.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA:


•	as a measure of operating performance to assist us in comparing the operating performance of our restaurants on a consistent basis because it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from our core operations;


•	for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budgets and financial projections;


•	to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our operational strategies; and


•	to calculate incentive compensation payments for our employees, including assessing performance under our annual incentive compensation plan.

Adjusted EBITDAR further excludes cash rent expense from Adjusted EBITDA. Cash rent expense represents actual cash payments required under our leases. We believe Adjusted EBITDAR is important to our analysts and investors because it allows us to measure the performance of our restaurants without regard to their financing structure. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDAR to better understand the cash generated by the operations of our restaurants excluding the impact of financing obligations such as lease and interest payments.

In addition, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR are used by investors as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in the restaurant industry. Management believes that investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as reasonable bases for comparing our ongoing results of operations. Many investors are interested in understanding the performance of our business by comparing our results from ongoing operations from one period to the next and would ordinarily add back items that are not part of normal day-to-day operations of our business. By providing these non-GAAP financial measures, together with reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well we are executing strategic initiatives.

We also present Adjusted EBITDA because it is substantially similar to “Consolidated EBITDA,” a defined measure which is used in calculating financial ratios in material debt covenants and other calculations in the Indenture and the Credit Agreement. We believe that presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about how the covenants in the agreements governing our debt facilities operate. The Credit Agreement and the Indenture may permit us to exclude other non-cash charges and specified non-recurring expenses in calculating Consolidated EBITDA in future periods, which are not reflected in the Adjusted EBITDA data presented in this Quarterly Report and do not permit us to exclude legal and settlement fees related to a contract termination and FLSA legal fees as included in "Other adjustments (j)" in the table below.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR.

Our Q1 Transition Period Adjusted EBITDA was $0.2 million, a decrease of 95.0%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $4.5 million in Q1 2015. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 Transition Period compared to Q1 2015 was primarily driven by our reduction in comparable restaurant sales and incremental marketing spend.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Summary

Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are debt service requirements, maintenance of our existing facilities and new restaurant development. Historically, our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have been net cash provided from operating activities and operating lease financing. Based on our current restaurant development plans, we anticipate that our cash position and our expected cash flows from operations will be sufficient to finance our planned capital expenditures, operating activities and debt service requirements for the next twelve months. However, our ability to fund future operating expenses and capital expenditures and our ability to make scheduled payments of interest on, to pay principal of or to refinance our indebtedness and to satisfy any other of our present or future debt obligations will depend on our future operating performance which will be affected by general economic, financial and other factors beyond our control. As of October 28, 2015, we had $12.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and no available credit under our Revolver.

Consistent with many other restaurant and retail chain store operations, we utilize operating lease arrangements and sale and leaseback arrangements and believe that these financing methods provide a useful source of capital in a financially efficient manner.

As part of the Transactions, we entered into the Revolver, which provides for up to $30.0 million of borrowings. The Revolver is available to fund working capital and for general corporate purposes. As of October 28, 2015, we had $25.1 million of borrowings drawn on the Revolver and $4.9 million of undrawn outstanding letters of credit resulting in available credit of zero.

As part of funding the Transactions, Logan’s Roadhouse, Inc. issued $355.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers. In July 2011, the Company completed an exchange offering which allowed the holders of those notes to exchange their notes for notes identical in all material respects except they are registered with the SEC and are not subject to transfer restrictions. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15. The Notes mature on October 15, 2017.

In connection with the Notes exchange described above, Logan’s Roadhouse entered into a side letter with the holders of the Series 2015-2 Notes providing for certain limitations on the activities of Logan’s Roadhouse, including making dividend distributions and engaging in certain refinancings.

The Revolver and the indentures that govern the Notes and the Series 2015 Notes contain financial and operating covenants. The non-financial covenants include prohibitions on our ability to incur certain additional indebtedness or to pay dividends. Additionally, the indentures subject us to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a non-accelerated filer, even if we are not specifically required to comply with such sections otherwise. Failure to comply with these covenants constitutes a default and may lead to the acceleration of the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest on the notes. Effective January 24, 2014, we executed an amendment to the Revolver which included: removing the previous

Table of Contents

consolidated leverage and consolidated interest coverage covenants; adding a consolidated first lien leverage covenant and amending the maximum capital expenditure limit in each of the remaining years. The terms of the amendment also included an increase in the applicable margin for borrowings; payment of a consent fee and a requirement to provide monthly unaudited preliminary financial statements to the lenders under the Revolver. Effective December 19, 2014, the Company executed an amendment to the Revolver which in addition to extending the maturity date to April 30, 2017, included the following: removal of the swingline subfacility; reduced the maximum capital expenditure limit in each of the remaining years of the extended facility; amended the required consolidated first lien leverage ratio to 0.50:1.00 for the extended term of the facility; amended requirements for all or a portion of net cash proceeds of certain asset sales to include prepayment of any then outstanding borrowings; required an amendment to the advisory agreement with Kelso to restrict payment of deferred advisory fees until after the final maturity date of the Revolver; and required payment of a 1.0% consent fee. Effective October 15, 2015, in connection with the Notes Exchange, the Company executed an amendment to the Revolver permitting the exchanges and amended, among other things, the required consolidated first lien leverage ratio to 1.00:1.00 until December 27, 2016 and 0.75:1.00 for the term of the facility. As of October 28, 2015, our first lien leverage ratio was 0.85 times Consolidated EBITDA, compared to our maximum allowable first lien leverage ratio of 1.00 times. As of October 28, 2015, we were in compliance with all material covenants and anticipate remaining in compliance with our amended covenants throughout fiscal year 2015.

Although we expect to remain in compliance with all material debt covenants, our ability to do so and to service our debt requirements is dependent, in part, upon improving our operating performance trends. We have experienced declines in customer traffic trends over the past three fiscal years including an 7.4% traffic decrease in the period from August 3, 2015 to October 28, 2015. This steady decline in customer traffic has resulted in significantly lower cash flow generated from operations and net losses in each of the past three fiscal years. Additionally, our highly leveraged structure includes significant semi-annual interest payments which have required borrowings on our Revolver and use of our otherwise available cash. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and could be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to dispose of material assets or operations, seek additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. If we later determine the adverse impact of these challenges does not allow us to remain in compliance with the financial covenants included in the Revolver, we would seek an amendment or waiver prior to failing to meet these covenants. If we are unable to secure an amendment or waiver and fail the financial covenants or fail to make scheduled payments of interest on, to pay principal of or to refinance our indebtedness, an event of default would result and the lenders could declare outstanding borrowings due and payable.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:



	Period from
(In thousands)	August 3, 2015 to October 28, 2015			August 4, 2014 to November 2, 2014
Cash flows from:
Operating activities	$	(15,636	)	$	(18,852	)
Investing activities	(1,458		)	(4,298		)
Financing activities	3,704			17,000
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(13,390	)	$	(6,150	)

Operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities in Q1 Transition Period and Q1 2015 were impacted by $9.4 million and $19.2 million, respectively, of cash paid for interest, offset by cash flows generated from operations. Additionally, the two periods were impacted by declining restaurant margins and working capital changes.

We had negative working capital of $15.7 million and $25.1 million at October 28, 2015 and November 2, 2014, respectively. Like many other restaurant companies, we are able, and expect to operate with negative working capital. Restaurant operations do not require significant inventories and substantially all sales are for cash or paid by third-party credit cards.

Table of Contents

Investing activities

Cash used in investing activities primarily represents capital expenditures for new restaurant growth and ongoing capital expenditures for restaurant maintenance. Net capital expenditures decreased to $1.5 million in Q1 Transition Period from $4.3 million in Q1 2015.

Financing activities

Cash provided by financing activities includes borrowings and repayments on the Revolver as well as cash payments for debt issuance costs related to the Notes Exchange. Q1 Transition Period and Q1 2015 included draws of $6.0 million and $20.9 million, respectively, and repayments of $32.0 thousand and $3.9 million, respectively. Q1 Transition Period also included cash payments for debt issuance costs related to the Notes Exchange of $2.3 million.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than operating leases, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Seasonality

Our business is subject to minor seasonal fluctuations. Historically, sales are typically lowest in the fall. Holidays and severe weather and similar conditions may impact sales volumes seasonally in some operating regions. Because of these factors, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

Segment Reporting

We aggregate our operations into a single reportable segment within the restaurant industry, providing similar products to similar customers, exclusively in the United States. Our restaurants also possess similar pricing structures, resulting in similar long-term expected financial performance characteristics. Accordingly, no further segment reporting beyond the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is presented.

Impact of Inflation

Our operating margins depend on, among other things, our ability to anticipate and react to changes in the costs of key operating resources, including food and other raw materials, labor, energy and other supplies and services. Substantial increases in costs and expenses could impact our operating results to the extent that such increases cannot be passed along to our restaurant customers. While we have taken steps to qualify multiple suppliers and enter into fixed price agreements for many of the commodities used in our restaurant operations, there can be no assurance that future supplies and costs for such commodities will not fluctuate due to weather and other market conditions outside of our control. Certain of our commodities are not contracted and remain subject to fluctuating market prices. Consequently, these commodities can be subject to unforeseen supply and cost fluctuations. In the Transition Period, we have incurred a significant amount of inflation related to our beef pricing.

Our staff members are subject to various minimum wage requirements. There have been and may be additional minimum wage increases in excess of the federal minimum wage implemented in various jurisdictions in which we operate or seek to operate. Minimum wage increases may have a material adverse effect on our labor costs. Certain operating costs, such as taxes, insurance and other outside services continue to increase and may also be subject to other cost and supply fluctuations outside of our control. While we have been able to partially offset inflation and other changes in the costs of key operating resources by gradually increasing prices for our menu items, coupled with more efficient purchasing practices, productivity improvements and greater economies of scale, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to do so in the future. From time to time, competitive conditions could limit our menu pricing ability. In addition, macroeconomic conditions could make additional menu price increases imprudent. There can be no assurance that all future cost increases can be offset by increased menu prices or that increased menu prices will be fully absorbed by our restaurant customers without any resulting changes in their visit frequencies or purchasing patterns. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate increases in comparable restaurant sales in amounts sufficient to offset inflationary or other cost pressures.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on

Table of Contents

historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Our critical accounting policies have not changed materially from those previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 2, 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Information regarding new accounting pronouncements is included within Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

our business in greater detail and advise interested parties of certain risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 3—QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In addition to the risks inherent in our operations, we are exposed to certain market risks, including adverse changes in commodity prices and interest rates.

Commodity price risk

Many of the ingredients used in the products sold in our restaurants are commodities subject to price volatility caused by limited supply, weather, production problems, delivery difficulties, economic factors, and other conditions which are outside our control and may be unpredictable. In order to minimize risk, we employ various purchasing and pricing techniques including negotiating fixed price contracts with vendors, generally over one year periods, and securing supply contracts with vendors that remain subject to fluctuating market prices. We do not currently utilize financial instruments to hedge commodity prices, but we will continue to evaluate their effectiveness.

Four food categories (beef, produce, seafood and chicken) account for the largest share of our cost of goods sold (at 39%, 10%, 7% and 7%, respectively, in the period from August 3, 2015 to October 28, 2015). Other categories affected by commodity price fluctuations, such as pork, cheese and dairy, may each account for 4-6%, individually, of our purchases. With respect to our commodity outlook for the Transition Period, we have fixed price contracts on approximately 50% of our commodity needs. We expect commodity inflation to be approximately 5-6% for the Transition Period and we are anticipating directionally favorable commodity costs for fiscal year 2016 with lower volatility in beef prices. We will continue to monitor the commodity markets and may enter into additional fixed price contracts depending on market conditions.

We recognize that commodity pricing may be extremely volatile and can change unpredictably and over short periods. Changes in commodity prices will generally affect us and our competitors similarly, depending upon the terms and duration of supply contracts. In many cases, or over the longer term, we believe we will be able to pass through some or all of the increased commodity costs by adjusting menu pricing. However, competitive circumstances or judgments about consumer acceptance of price increases, may limit price flexibility and, in those circumstances, increases in commodity prices may have an adverse affect on restaurant operating margins.

We are subject to additional risk due to our reliance on single suppliers for many of our commodity purchases, including beef. However, our menu items are based on generally available products, and if any existing suppliers fail, or are unable, to deliver in quantities we require, we believe that there are sufficient alternative suppliers in the marketplace so that our sources of supply can be replaced as necessary. Furthermore, we believe the supply could be replaced by alternative suppliers, but we may encounter temporary supply shortages or incur higher supply costs which could have an adverse affect on our results of operations.

Interest rate risk

We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with borrowings under the Revolver, which bears interest at variable rates. As of October 28, 2015, we had outstanding borrowings of $25.1 million on our Revolver which will be exposed to interest rate fluctuations on the balance outstanding until repayment. Based on the current outstanding borrowings under this facility, a hypothetical one percentage point increase in the interest rate would result in an increase in our annual interest expense of approximately $0.3 million. There is no interest rate risk associated with our Notes or Series 2015 Notes, as the interest rates are fixed per annum.

ITEM 4—CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer concluded that, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to our annual evaluation of long-lived asset impairment as disclosed in the Form 10-K for the year ended August 2, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of October 28, 2015.
