  or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing</b><br>
  </font></p>
<p>On October 22, 2008, Socket Mobile, Inc. (the "Company") received a letter
  from NASDAQ Stock Market (the "NASDAQ Letter") indicating that NASDAQ has suspended
  for a three-month period, effective October 16, 2008, the enforcement of the
  rule requiring a minimum bid price and market value of publicly held shares
  (the "Rule"). NASDAQ has said that it will not take any action to delist any
  security for these concerns during the suspension. NASDAQ has stated that, given
  the current extraordinary market conditions, this suspension will remain in
  effect through Friday, January 16, 2009 and that the Rule will be reinstated
  on Monday, January 19, 2009.</p>
<p>As previously announced on June 10, 2008, the listing of the Company's common
  stock was transferred from the NASDAQ Global Market to the NASAQ Capital Market
  effective on June 9, 2008, and the Company expected to be afforded an additional
  compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until December 8, 2008, to comply
  with the minimum bid price requirement of the NASDAQ Capital Market. As a result
  of the three-month suspension by NASDAQ, the Company now has until March 10,
  2009 to regain compliance with the Rule.</p>
<p>If compliance with the Rule cannot be demonstrated by March 10, 2009, the NASDAQ
  Letter indicates that the NASDAQ Staff will provide written notification that
  the Company's common stock will be delisted, after which the Company may appeal
  the NASDAQ Staff determination to the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel.</p>
<p>In order to regain compliance with the Rule, the Company has effected a reverse
  stock split as described under Item 5.03 below.</p>
<p><b><br>
  Item 3.03 Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders </b></p>
<p>The information set forth in Item 5.03 is incorporated herein by reference.
</p>
<p><b><br>
  Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
  Year</b></p>
<p>On April 23, 2008, at its annual meeting of stockholders, the Company received
  stockholder approval of a proposal authorizing the Company's Board of Directors,
  in its discretion, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock,
  par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at a ratio within a range of
  from one-for-five to one-for-ten shares. On October 22, 2008, the Company's
  Board of Directors approved the implementation of the reverse stock split at
  a ratio of one-for-ten shares (the "Reverse Stock Split"). </p>
<p>On October 23, 2008, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Restated
  Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Amendment") with the Secretary
  of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Stock Split at 5pm Eastern
  time on October 23, 2008.</p>
<p>On October 24, 2008 the common stock began trading at the Reverse Stock Split
  ratio. Each ten (10) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of
  the Company issued and outstanding were, automatically and without any action
  on the part of the respective holders thereof, combined and reconstituted as
  one (1) share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company. The
  Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
  from approximately 32,300,129 shares to approximately 3,230,012 shares. Holders
  of a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split
  are entitled to receive a cash amount (without interest) equal to the fair market
  value of that fraction based upon the average of the closing bid prices of the
  Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market for each of the five trading
  days immediately preceding the effective date of the Certificate of Amendment.</p>
<p>Effective on the commencement of trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on October
  24, 2008, the Common Stock began trading under a new ticker symbol, SCKTD (which
  reflects the Reverse Stock Split). The Common Stock will trade under this symbol
  until November 21, 2008 after which time it will revert to trading under the
  symbol SCKT.</p>
<p>A copy of the Certificate of Amendment effecting the Reverse Stock Split and
  a copy of the press release announcing the foregoing are attached hereto as
  Exhibits 3.1 and 99.1 respectively and are incorporated herein by reference.</p>

  NEWARK, Calif., - October 24, 2008</b> - Socket Mobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT),
  an innovative provider of mobile productivity products, today announced that
  its Board of Directors, pursuant to previously obtained stockholder approval,
  approved a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of one for ten.
  The reverse stock split was effective at 5:00 pm Eastern time on October 23,
  2008. </font></p>
<p>The Company's common stock will open today post-effective a reverse stock split
  of one share post-split for each ten shares held pre-split. Beneficial holders
  of the stock will see the revised share totals and revised stock price reflected
  on their electronic accounts. Registered holders will be advised by the Company's
  transfer agent to exchange their outstanding pre-split stock certificates for
  new ones. Fractional shares will be paid by the Company at the average closing
  bid price for the five days prior to the effective date of the split or $0.41
  per fractional pre-split share. The Company's common stock will trade under
  the temporary trading symbol SCKTD through November 20, 2008 to advise investors
  of the reverse stock split. </p>
<p>The primary purposes of the reverse stock split are to bring the Company back
  into compliance with the minimum bid price listing requirement of the Nasdaq
  Capital Market, and to bring the stock price into higher trading ranges to facilitate
  trading. The Company's stock must trade for ten consecutive days with a closing
  bid price above $1.00 in order to return to full compliance with the listing
  standards of the NASDAQ Capital Market. The reverse stock split was authorized
  by Socket Mobile's stockholders at its annual meeting last April. </p>
