Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On March 20, 2007, Bell Microproducts Inc. (the "Company") received an additional written Staff Determination notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market stating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing requirement set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because the Staff had not received the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2006. The Company will file a response to the Staff’s notification with the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council. The response will explain that the Company’s failure to file its Form 10-K for fiscal year 2006 relates to the inability to complete certified financial statements pending completion of the continued work on the previously announced restatement and 2006 audit, and the separate stock option review and that the Company is working diligently to complete both in order to become current in its periodic filings and satisfy the continued listing requirement.
The Company issued a pr ess release on March 26, 2007 disclosing its receipt of this Nasdaq Staff Determination notice. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
