Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
 
On July 26, 2012, the Audit Committee of Star Buffet, Inc. (“the Company”) approved the engagement of Larson & Rosenberger LLP (the “New Auditor”) as our independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal years ending January 30, 2012 and January 31, 2011 and any interim periods, pending approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona in the proceeding titled In re: Star Buffet, Inc., Case No.2:11-bk-27518-GBN.
 
The Company has not consulted with the New Auditor during our two most recent fiscal years or during any subsequent interim period prior to its appointment as New Auditor regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to us nor oral advice was provided that the New Auditor concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
