ITEM 8.01.  Other Events.

As previously disclosed on July 2, 2010, Fortune Industries, Inc. (the "Company") received a letter dated July 2, 2010 from the staff of the NYSE Amex LLC (the "Exchange"), stating the staff had determined that the Company was not in compliance with Section 803(B)(2)(c) of the NYSE Amex Company Guide (the “Company Guide”), because the Company’s audit committee was not comprised of at least two independent directors.  This non-compliance was a result of the May 7, 2010 resignation of one of the Company's independent directors, who also served on the Company’s audit committee.

At the Company’s Board of Directors meeting held on February 21, 2011, the Board determined that Richard F. Suja met the independence requirements of Section 803B(2)(a)(i) of the Company Guide as well as Rule 10A-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and appointed him to the Audit Committee.

On February 25, 2011 the Exchange notified the Company that, on the basis of a review of publically available information and a letter sent to the Exchange from the Company on February 23, 2011 detailing the appointment of Mr. Suja to the Company’s audit committee, the Company had resolved its continued listing deficiencies.  The notice also stated that, as is the case for all listed issuers, the Company’s continued listing eligibility will be assessed on an ongoing basis.  Further, the Company has become subject to the provisions of Section 1009(h) of the Company Guide.
