Information to be included in the report

 
Item 3.01.    Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
 
On April 20, 2007, Sharper Image Corporation (the "Company") determined that it is unlikely to be in a position to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2007 (the "Current Form 10-K") in a timely fashion as indicated in its Notification of Late Filing under Form 12b-25 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2007. The principal reasons for the delay in filing the Current Form 10-K relate to the resources the Company devoted in completing its March 2007 filings of its Form 10-K/A, Form 10-Q/A and two Forms 10-Q following the conclusion of its independent review of its historical stock option practices and related accounting matters. The resources devoted to these filings prevented the Company from timely preparing its annual financial statements and providing its independent registered accountants with information necessary to permit them to complete their audit in a timely fashion.
Because the Company will not file its Current Form 10-K in a timely fashion, it notified Nasdaq on April 20, 2007, that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq's Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Company expects to receive a Nasdaq staff determination letter in the next few days confirming the Company's non-compliance with Rule 4310(c)(14). The Company will request a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel in response to the staff determination letter. The Company's shares will remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Market pending a decision by the Listing Qualifications Panel.
The Company and its registered independent auditors are working diligently to complete the Current Form 10-K and the related audit so that the Company can file the Current Form 10-K as expeditiously as possible. The Company currently expects to file its 10-K on or before May 31, 2007.
