Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
 
On June 16, 2005, Precision Optics Corporation, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Notice’) notifying the Company that for the 30 consecutive trading days preceding the date of the Notice, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4). The Notice further stated that the Company has been provided 180 calendar days, or until December 13, 2005, to regain compliance with the $1.00 per share bid price requirement in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(D). To regain compliance with the bid price requirement, the bid price of the Company’s common stock must close at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days prior to December 13, 2005. If by December 13, 2005 the Company has not regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the Company may be granted an additional 180 day grace period to regain compliance under applicable Nasdaq rules, provided it meets The Nasdaq SmallCap Market initial listing criteria (other than the minimum bid price requirement) at that time.
 
The Company intends to monitor the bid price for its common stock between now and December 13, 2005. If its common stock does not trade at a level that is likely to regain compliance, the Company’s Board of Directors will consider options available to the Company to achieve compliance.

On June 20, 2005, the Company issued a press release, attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1, reporting that it had received the Notice from Nasdaq.
