Hirsch International Corp. (NASDAQ: HRSH) announced today it was notified by the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. that it has regained compliance with Nasdaq's Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) for obtaining a common stock bid price of $1.00 per share or greater for at least 10 consecutive business days.

On August 20, 2004, Nasdaq notified Hirsch of impending delisting due to the fact that its common stock failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the previous 30 consecutive business days as required by Marketplace Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. However, with Hirsch's recent stock price performance, which has exceeded Nasdaq's requirements, this matter is now closed.
