Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 24, 2009, Avatech Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") initiated a workforce reduction strategy by eliminating a total of 41 positions, bringing its total workforce to 146 positions. The majority of the eliminated positions (28) were in the Company’s Services division with the remaining 13 positions eliminated from the Sales and Marketing divisions. The reductions were made by the Company in response to the revenue decreases that it has experienced due to the weakened economy and its adverse impacts on the marketplace in which the Company operates, including the reduction in demand for the Company’s products and services. The Company believes that the workforce reductions should reduce its future annual operating expenses by approximately $2.6 million.

This report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements do not represent historical facts, but rather statements about management’s beliefs, plans and objectives about the future, as well as its assumptions and judgments concerning such beliefs, plans and objectives. These statements are evidenced by terms such as “anticipate”, “estimate”, “should”, “expect”, “believe”, “would”, “intend”, and similar expressions. Although these statements reflect management’s good faith beliefs and projections, they are not guarantees of future performance and they may not prove true. These projections involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic, market, or business conditions; changes in laws or regulations or policies of federal and state regulators and agencies; and other circumstances beyond the Company’s control. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this report are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results anticipated will be realized, or if substantially realized, will have the expected consequences on the Company’s business or operations. For a discussion of the Company’s business and risks related thereto, see the periodic reports that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
