Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
 
(a) EVCI today announced that due to the resignation of Mr. Brian H. Fluck, effective January 31, 2008, from his positions as a director of EVCI and a member of EVCI’s audit and compensation committees, it received a letter, dated February 5, 2008, from The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that EVCI no longer complies with Nasdaq’s audit committee requirements as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4350 (d). The Rule requires EVCI to have an audit committee of three independent directors.

Nasdaq’s letter also indicated that EVCI has a cure period in which to regain compliance:

 
·
until the earlier of EVCI’s next annual stockholders’ meeting or January 31, 2009; or

 
·
if EVCI’s next annual stockholders’ meeting is held before July 29, 2008, then EVCI must evidence compliance no later than July 29, 2008.
 
A failure to regain compliance could result in a delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) Effective January 31, 2008, Brian H. Fluck resigned as director of EVCI and, accordingly, as a member of EVCI’s audit and compensation committees.

Under the Securities Purchase Agreement with EVCI, dated April 24, 2007, ComVest Investment Partners III, L.P. has the right to designate a person to replace Mr. Fluck as a director of EVCI. If that person satisfies the applicable requirements for an “independent director,” he or she is required by that agreement to be appointed to EVCI’s audit and compensation committees.
