ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS. On July 23, 2002, DCH Technology, Inc. received a letter from the American Stock Exchange advising that the Exchange had determined that DCH no longer met certain financial requirements for continued listing on the Exchange. The Exchange cited (i) DCH's sustained losses, (ii) failure to pay applicable listing fees when due, (iii) issuance of additional shares of common stock without timely notifying the Exchange, and (iv) a low stock price. Management of DCH believes that DCH fully complied with the notification requirements for the listing of additional shares, but has elected not to pursue an appeal of the delisting process. The Exchange will commence delisting procedures on July 30, 2002. DCH will instead pursue immediate quotation of its common stock on the OTCBB.
