Section 3 – Securities and Trading Markets
 
Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
 
(a)           On April 5, 2010, Bay National Corporation (NASDAQ: BAYN), received a notice from the NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that, based on the financial information included in the Company’s 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2009, the Company does not have stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 million as required for continued listing and, as of April 1, 2010, does meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.  Therefore, the Company no longer complies with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”).  The Rule requires  a company with equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market to either maintain a minimum stockholder’s equity of $2.5 million or have a market value of the listed securities of at least $35 million, or have at least $500,000 in net income from continuing operations.
 
Under the Rule, the Company has 45 calendar days from April 5, 2010 to submit a plan to regain compliance.  If the Company’s plan is accepted, an extension of up to 180 calendar days from April 5, 2010 may be granted to evidence compliance.
 
 The notification letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
