TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION

This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-102736), pertaining to the registration by Back Yard Burgers, Inc. (the “Registrant”) of 225,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock issuable under the Registrant’s 2002 Equity Incentive Plan.

On November 5, 2007, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among the Registrant, BBAC, LLC (“Parent”) and BBAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Co”), Acquisition Co merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the Registrant became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. As provided in the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock and preferred stock of the Registrant (other than shares owned by Parent or Acquisition Co, held in treasury of the Registrant, or shares held by a holder who has validly demanded appraisal rights under Delaware law) was automatically converted into the right to receive $6.50 in cash, without interest.

In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove by means of a post-effective amendment any securities of the Registrant’s which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby de-registers from registration all of its securities registered pursuant to this Registration Statement which remained unissued at the effective time of the Merger.
