ITEM 3.01      Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On February 16, 2012, Good Times Restaurants Inc. ("we," "us," "our," "Good Times" or the "Company") received a letter (the "Staff Letter") from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq"), notifying the Company that it no longer satisfies Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Rule"), which requires the Company to maintain minimum stockholders' equity of $2,500,000 for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, if it does not otherwise  have a market value of listed securities of $35,000,000 or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years.  Based on the information contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company's stockholders' equity does not satisfy the Rule.  The Staff Letter also noted that, as of February 15, 2012, the Company does not meet the other alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.

Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has 45 calendar days, or until April 2, 2012, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Rule.  If Nasdaq accepts the Company's plan, it may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Staff Letter to evidence compliance.  If Nasdaq rejects the Company's plan, the Company may appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

The Company is in the process of developing a plan to regain compliance with the Rule and intends to submit a compliance plan no later than April 2, 2012.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Rule and thereby to maintain the listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our shares trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "GTIM."
