EXPLANATORY NOTE:

         This Form 8-K/A amends the Form 8-K filed on August 10, 2005, in order
to attach financial statements for the correct quarter. On August 10, 2005 Jack
in the Box Inc. furnished on Form 8-K a press release announcing the company's
third-quarter results and fourth-quarter guidance and updating its fiscal 2005
forecast. Inadvertently, the company's first quarter Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet was attached to that press release rather than the
appropriate third-quarter Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

           Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference
is the press release announcing the company's third-quarter results,
fourth-quarter guidance and updating its fiscal 2005 forecast and including
financial statements for the third quarter, fiscal 2005.

         In the press release announcing third-quarter operating results, the
company provides both earnings per diluted share determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and earnings per diluted share
excluding both (i) a fiscal 2004 charge related to refinancing, which was
recorded in interest expense and (ii) the effect of the 53rd week of fiscal year
2004. This non-GAAP financial measure is used by management to evaluate
financial and operating performance. Management does not consider the
refinancing charge to be directly related to operating results for the period.
Not all fiscal years have 53 weeks. Use of this non-GAAP measure also
facilitates comparisons between current and prior period financial results and
to the results of the company's competitors. This financial measure is also
comparable to forecasts made by securities analysts and others, which generally
exclude special items, as they are difficult to predict in advance. Non-GAAP
measures are not intended to be a substitute for net earnings determined in
accordance with GAAP.
