ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

     On August 21, 2000 Sizzler International, Inc. (the "Company") successfully
concluded an internal reorganization of its Australian division and a
refinancing of its existing credit facility with Westpac Banking Corporation. In
connection with the refinancing, the Company increased its existing Westpac
credit facility by AUD$8 million to AUD$46 million. The credit facility is to be
collateralized by the Company's Australian division assets and certain
intellectual property. The loan provides for a three-year term at an interest
rate equal to the Australian interbank borrowing rate, plus a 2.25 percent
margin. The credit facility is subject to a mandatory principal reduction
payment of AUD$10 million by December 15, 2000 in certain events, as well as to
other financial and other covenants and restrictions of a kind that management
believes is customary for a loan of this type. The Company originally entered
into its existing credit facility in 1997 in connection with its emergence from
Chapter 11 proceedings. The principal loan documents relating to the refinancing
are filed with this report.

On August 23, 2000, the Company issued a press release announcing earnings for
the first quarter and same-store sales, which press release is filed with this
report.
