Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
 
     As previously announced, effective May 29, 2009, Jeff M. Berry was appointed the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer of Physicians Formula Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”).  In conjunction with assuming the role of Interim Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Berry resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and from all of the committees of the Board on which he served because, as an executive officer of the Company, he is no longer an independent director as defined in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2).  Following Mr. Berry’s resignation from the Board and its committees on May 29, 2009, of the four remaining directors serving on its Board, two are independent, and the Company has two independent directors serving on its audit committee.
 
     On June 1, 2009, the Company received a NASDAQ Staff Deficiency Letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that, due to the resignation of Mr. Berry from the Board, the Company no longer complies with NASDAQ’s independent director requirement for continued listing set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) and NASDAQ’s audit committee requirement for continued listing set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A).
 
     In accordance with Rules 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4)(B) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules, the Company has until November 25, 2009, which is 180 days from May 29, 2009, to regain compliance with the independent director and audit committee requirements of the NASDAQ Listing Rules.
 
     The Company is in the process of evaluating candidates who are qualified to serve on the Board and the audit committee and intends to fill the vacancy on the Board and the audit committee as expeditiously as possible, and in any event prior to November 25, 2009.
