Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc. Receives Notice From NASDAQ

RESTON, VA ("Comstock" or the "Company") today announced that it received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ") stating that for 30 consecutive business days the Company's common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion under Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5). The notice has no effect on the listing of the Company's securities at this time, and its common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "CHCI."

In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until July 7, 2008, to regain compliance. The notice states that if, at any time before July 7, 2008, the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, NASDAQ staff will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. No assurance can be given that the Company will regain compliance during that period.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by July 7, 2008, NASDAQ staff will provide the Company with written notification that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Listings Qualifications Panel. Alternatively, the Company may apply to transfer its securities to the NASDAQ Capital Market if it satisfies the requirements for initial inclusion set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c), other than the minimum bid price requirement of Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4). In the event of such a transfer, the Company will be afforded an additional 180 calendar days to comply with the minimum bid price requirement while listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. No assurance can be given that the Company will be eligible for the additional 180-day compliance period, or, if applicable, that it will regain compliance during any additional compliance period.

The Company has not determined what action, if any, it will take in response to this notice, although the Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock between now and July 7, 2008, and to consider available options if its common stock does not trade at a level likely to result in the Company regaining compliance with the NASDAQ minimum closing bid price requirement.
