ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.
Effective February 7, 2005, the common stock of Robotic Vision Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) was delisted from the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, commonly known as the “OTC:BB.” The delisting resulted from the Company’s failure to timely file an Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, as previously reported. Due to restrictions on its financial resources and management time arising out of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process, the Company was unable to timely file its Form 10-K for that fiscal year and anticipates being unable to file Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q until such time, if any, as the Company has a plan of reorganization confirmed by the bankruptcy court. The Company had requested that the Division of Corporation Finance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission take a no-action position if the Company files copies of its monthly financial reports to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Hampshire in lieu of Forms 10-K and 10-Q. However, the Division of Corporation Finance declined to take the requested no-action position. The Company intends to file in electronic form those monthly financial reports to the bankruptcy court in lieu of Forms 10-K and 10-Q.
Also effective February 7, 2005, the Company’s common stock began trading in the over-the-counter market provided by the National Quotation Bureau, commonly known as the Pink Sheets. The Company did not request this action.
