VirtualScopics Receives Additional Time to Regain Compliance with Nasdaq -- ROCHESTER, N.Y., Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Feb. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- VirtualScopics, Inc. (Nasdaq: [ VSCP ]) today announced that The Nasdaq Stock Market has informed the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 day period, or until August 26, 2013, to regain compliance with the minimum $1 bid price per share requirement. The determination was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on Nasdaq with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company's intent to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

If at any time during this additional time period the closing bid price of the Company's stock is at least $1 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.
