EXPLANATORY NOTE
We are filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amended Report”) to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2012 (the “Original Report”), for the sole purpose of correcting an error in Exhibit 99.1, the Consolidated Financial Statements of Fiesta Restaurant Group, Inc. for each of the fiscal years ended January 1, 2012, January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010.
A corrected Exhibit 99.1 is being filed with this Amended Report. The correction pertains to an administrative error in the finalization of the print version of Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements “Business Segment Information” included in the Exhibit which mislabeled segment general and administrative expense as segment restaurant rent expense and excluded segment restaurant rent expense for both the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Except as set forth above, we have not changed or updated other information included in the Original Report. Accordingly, the information contained in the Original Report and included in this Amended Report describes conditions as they existed and were presented in the Original Report at the time we filed that report with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2012. We have not taken into account any other events occurring after the filing of the Original Report that might have affected those disclosures, nor have we modified or updated those disclosures to reflect any subsequent events.
