Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc. Requests an Appeal Hearing After Receiving Notice of Delisting From NASDAQ

RESTON, VA ("Comstock" or the "Company") today announced that on July 9, 2008 it received notice ("Notice") from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("NASDAQ") that its stock was to be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market as a result of the Company having not regained compliance with Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5). Pursuant to the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4800 Series, the Company has requested a hearing to appeal the NASDAQ determination to a Listings Qualifications Panel ("Panel"). A hearing request by the Company automatically postpones the delisting of the Company's securities. Panels have generally viewed a reverse stock split as the only definitive plan acceptable to resolve a bid price deficiency but recently, however, the authority of the Panel to grant additional time to companies was modified so that a Panel could allow up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice for companies to undertake various other actions to regain compliance. The Company was first advised of its non-compliance on January 9, 2008. In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2) the Company was given 180 calendar days, or until July 7, 2008, to regain compliance.
