Isonics Receives Letter From Nasdaq

GOLDEN, Colo.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—March 26, 2007—Isonics Corporation (NASDAQ: ISON), a provider of innovative solutions for the homeland security and semiconductor markets, announced today that on March 21, 2007 it received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market Listings Qualification Department notifying Isonics that its common stock is not in compliance with the requirements for continued inclusion under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(2)(B) and is subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.  Rule 4310(c)(2)(B) require that Isonics maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000, a market value of its listed securities of at least $35,000,000, or have net income from continuing operations of at least $500,000 during the last fiscal year or two of the last three fiscal years.  As reported in Isonics’ Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31, 2007, stockholders’ equity was approximately $2,149,000 and, based on recent market prices, the market value of Isonics common stock is approximately $20,000,000.  Isonics has not generated net income from operations during the past three fiscal years.

Under the Nasdaq rules, Isonics is entitled to and will, on or before April 5, 2007, develop and submit a plan to achieve and sustain compliance with all listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market.  If, after its review of the plan the Nasdaq staff determines that Isonics’ plan does not adequately address the issues, the staff will provide Isonics with written notice that its securities will be delisted.  At that time, Isonics may (at its discretion) appeal the staff’s determination to a Listing Qualification Panel which will delay the delisting by requesting a hearing.  If the staff accepts the plan to be submitted by Isonics, Isonics will have up to 105 days to complete the plan and regain compliance.
