ITEM 8.01. OTHER MATERIAL EVENTS.
 
On January 22, 2008, Buffets Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and each of its subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”), Case Number 08-10141. The Company is required to file monthly operating reports (each, a “Monthly Operating Report”) with the Bankruptcy Court. On April 4, 2008, the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Monthly Operating Report for the period from January 22, 2008 through February 6, 2008 (the “Stub Period 8 2008 Report”). Also on April 4, 2008, the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Monthly Operating Report for the period from February 7, 2008 through March 5, 2008 (the “Period 9 2008 Report”). A copy of the Stub Period 8 2008 Report is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and a copy of the Period 9 2008 Report is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period, and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The financial information in each Monthly Operating Report is preliminary and unaudited and does not purport to show the financial statements of any of the Debtors in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and therefore may exclude items required by GAAP, such as certain reclassifications, eliminations, accruals, and disclosure items. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon each Monthly Operating Report. There can be no assurance that such information is complete. Each Monthly Operating Report may be subject to revision. The Monthly Operating Report is in a format required by the Bankruptcy Code and should not be used for investment purposes. The information in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.
