Item 8.01.  Other Events.

On July 10, 2012, Good Times Restaurants Inc. (the "Company") received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") indicating that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") has granted the Company's request for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, subject to the Company evidencing stockholders' equity of at least $2.5 million, as required by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b), by September 22, 2012.

The Panel's decision follows the Company's receipt of notice from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") on May 3, 2012 indicating that, based upon the Company's non-compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement, the Company's securities were subject to delisting from NASDAQ.  The Company appealed the Staff's determination and appeared before the Panel on June 14, 2012. The Company has signed a Stock Purchase Agreement for the sale of $2 million of convertible preferred stock that is expected to close prior to September 2012.
