Item 3.01 – Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On September 17, 2007, we received two letters from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) advising us that we failed to meet certain requirements for continued listing.

The first letter from Nasdaq advised us that, based on our Form 10-Q for the three months ended July 31, 2007, we failed to meet the requirements for continued listing found in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3), which requires that, for continued listing on Nasdaq, we maintain any one of the following:

(i)

 

stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million;

(ii)

 

market value of listed securities of $35 million; or

(iii)

 

net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years.

 

The letter went on to state that Nasdaq is reviewing our eligibility for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market and has requested that we provide by October 2, 2007, our plan to achieve and sustain compliance with all the Nasdaq Capital Market listing requirements.  If at the conclusion of the review process it is determined that our plan does not adequately address the issues noted, we most likely will be delisted from Nasdaq, although we would have the right to appeal Nasdaq’s decision to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel.  Due to our current financial condition as disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the three months ended July 31, 2007, we can offer no assurance (and, in fact, it may be less likely than not) that we will be able to provide to Nasdaq a plan which indicates our ability to both meet and sustain compliance with all listing requirements.

The second letter from Nasdaq advised us that the minimum bid price of our common stock had closed below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, did not comply with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) (the “Rule”).  Therefore, in accordance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(D), we have been provided 180 calendar days, or until March 17, 2008, to regain compliance with the Rule (which consists of the bid price of our common stock closing at $1.00 per share or more or a minimum of 10 consecutive business days).  If we are delisted from Nasdaq because of our failure to meet the requirements of Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3) (discussed above), the requirements of this letter become moot.  If we remain listed on Nasdaq for the 180 day curative period and still fail to obtain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price as of March 17, 2008, we will be granted an additional 180 calendar days to obtain compliance as long as we meet the Nasdaq Capital Market initial listing criteria as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c), except for the bid price requirement.  If we are not eligible for the additional compliance period, we may be delisted by Nasdaq at that time.

On September 21, 2007 and in accordance with Marketplace Rule 4803(a), we issued a press release regarding the letters received from Nasdaq, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Isonics Receives Nasdaq Notifications

GOLDEN, Colo.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Isonics Corporation (NASDAQ: ISON), a company that is focused on the development and provision of products and services for the semiconductor and homeland security markets, announced today that it received two notifications from Nasdaq, either of which may result in our common stock being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The first notice stated that, based on the Form 10-Q for the three months ended July 31, 2007, Isonics fails to comply with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3) which requires the Company to have a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity or $35 million in market value of securities or $500,000 of net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years. The Company has until October 2, 2007 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to achieve and sustain compliance with all the Nasdaq Capital Market listing requirements.

The second notice stated that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company’s common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4).  Under the rules, Isonics has 180 days, or until March 17, 2008 to regain compliance. If at anytime before March 17, 2008, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive days, the Nasdaq Staff will notify the Company that it has regained compliance.  Based on the Company’s current financial position as set forth in its most recent Form 10-Q filing, Isonics cannot offer any assurance that it will be able to provide Nasdaq with a plan that will bring it into compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement; if that remains the case and Nasdaq delists its common stock as a result, the Company’s non-compliance with the market price requirement will be moot.

The Company also announced today financial results for its Semiconductor Division (the “Division”) for the first fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2007. The Division had revenue of $2.1 million for the period ended July 31, 2007, compared to revenue of $2.9 million for the year-earlier period.  The Division had an operating loss of $(361,000) for the fiscal 2008 first quarter, compared to $(199,000) in the same period one year ago. Although the Division reported significant revenue and operating income growth for the year ended April 30, 2007, many of the Division’s top semiconductor customers experienced weakened business results in recent quarters.  In addition, some customers have reported inventory buildup in reclaim and/or test products.  As a result of these two factors, the Division has recently seen a slowdown in orders of reclaim and test materials, which has had a negative impact on operating results. In order to minimize the effect of the slowdown,




Isonics has implemented many cost cutting measures and will continue to do so.  The Company believes that demand will rebound within a relatively short period of time and is hopeful that it will begin to see a recovery during the next six months.  Isonics continues to aggressively pursue and add new customers to mitigate the underlying uncertainties within its existing customer base.  See the Company’s Form 10-Q for the three months ended July 31, 2007 (filed with the SEC on September 14, 2007) for additional information.
