Item
2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Shells
Seafood Restaurants, Inc. issued a press release today announcing its financial
results for the third quarter of 2007. Included in the press release issued
by
the Company and furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 are certain non-GAAP
financial measures. Management of the Company believes such non-GAAP financial
measures are useful to investors assessing the financial condition and results
of operations of the Company's core business operations because they exclude
results which management believes are atypical and unlikely to occur with
regularity in the future
A
copy of
the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is
incorporated herein by reference.
This
information, including the press release filed as Exhibit 99.1, shall not be
deemed to be "filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing
under the Securities Act of 1933.
Signature
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant
has
duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto
duly authorized.
