GARDNER, Mass., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (Nasdaq: POCI) today announced receipt of a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter, dated December 15, 2005 , from The Nasdaq Stock Market("Nasdaq") indicating the Company's securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on December 27, 2005 . Nasdaq has determined that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq's requirements for continued listing as the Company's shareholders equity amount is below the minimum requirement of $2.5 million specified by Marketplace Rule4310(c)(2)(B). In addition, the Company's stock does not meet the $1.00 pershare minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4). The Company submitted a plan of compliance to Nasdaq Staff, however, Staff's determination was that the proposed plan lacked sufficient evidence of the ability to achieve near term compliance with continued listing requirements or sustain such compliance over an extended period of time. The Company has decided not to appeal Nasdaq's determination. Accordingly, the Company's securities will be delisted as provided in the Nasdaq Staff Determination letter.

We expect that our common stock will be quoted on the "Pink Sheets." The Company will also seek to have its common stock quoted on the Over-The-Counter Market on the NASD Electronic Bulletin Board (OTCBB). Information regarding the Company's stock and stock trading is expected to remain available via the Nasdaq website, through on-line trading services and through securities brokers under the symbol POCI.
