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

On July 21, 2008, Jaco Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notification from NASDAQ that the Company was no longer in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1). The failure to meet the independent director requirement set forth in Rule 4350(c)(1) was a result of the resignation of Neil Rappaport from the Board of Directors of the Company effective July 7, 2008.

Consistent with Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(1), which requires that a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors, NASDAQ will provide the Company a cure period in order to regain compliance until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting, or July 7, 2009; or if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before January 5, 2009, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than January 5, 2009. The Company’s Board of Directors fully intends to appoint an independent director prior to the January 2009 deadline, which will satisfy NASDAQ’s majority independent director requirement.

If the Company fails to regain compliance within the prescribed cure period, its common stock is subject to delisting upon notification of such a determination by NASDAQ staff, which determination may be appealed.

Pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4803(a), on July 24, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing this event. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
