ITEM 1.01     ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On April 6, 2012, Good Times Restaurants Inc. (the "Company") entered into a financial advisory services agreement (the "Agreement") with Heathcote Capital LLC ("Heathcote"), pursuant to which Heathcote will provide the Company with exclusive financial advisory services in connection with a possible strategic transaction (the "Transaction").  The services to be provided by Heathcote may involve identifying and contacting potential acquisition targets and/or sources of financing for the Company, advising and assisting the Company in evaluating various structures and forms of any Transaction, assisting in the preparation of proposals and evaluation of offers, and assisting the Company in negotiating the financial aspects of the Transaction.

While the Agreement provides that Heathcote is being engaged by the Company as an advisor to the Company to explore strategic options, Heathcote understands that the Board of Directors of the Company may appoint a special committee to consider certain of such options on behalf of the shareholders of the Company.  Heathcote agrees that its services shall include communicating with any such special committee as it may reasonable request and, if directed by such committee, Heathcote shall hold such communications in confidence.

Heller, a member of the Company's Board of Directors, is the principal of Heathcote.  Accordingly, the Agreement constitutes a related party transaction and was reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.  Mr. Heller did not participate in the Audit Committee's consideration of the Agreement and abstained from the committee's vote to approve the Agreement.  Concurrently with the Company's engagement of Heathcote, Mr. Heller has resigned as a member of the Audit Committee and as Chairman of the Compensation Committee.  Mr. Heller will continue to serve on the Company's Board of Directors.

Mr. Heller has extensive experience as an investment banker, including having served as a Managing Director of FTI Capital Advisors, LLC (2002-2006) and a Director of Andersen Corporate Finance LLC (1999-2002).  Mr. Heller holds a BA in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA in Finance from New York University.

The foregoing summary of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
