Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On June 18, 2010, SearchMedia Holdings Limited (the "Company") received a written notice from the NYSE Amex LLC (the "Exchange") that the Exchange has accepted the Company's plan of compliance (the "Plan"). The Exchange also granted the Company an extension until August 31, 2010 to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 ("Form 10-K") and until September 30, 2010 to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 ("Form 10-Q") in order to regain compliance with the Exchange's continued listing standards.

As previously disclosed, the Company was not in compliance with the Exchange's continued listing criteria set forth in Sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE Amex LLC Company Guide (the "Company Guide") when it failed to file timely its Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

In response, the Exchange afforded the Company the opportunity to submit a plan of compliance. On May 5, 2010 and, as supplemented on June 8, 2010, the Company submitted a Plan to the Exchange that set forth the actions it had taken and would take to bring the Company into compliance with the standards set forth in Sections 134 and 1101 of the Company Guide. The Exchange has determined that, in accordance with Section 1009 of the Company Guide, the Company's Plan makes a reasonable demonstration of the Company's ability to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. The Company will be subject to periodic review by the Exchange staff during the extension periods.

The Company intends to file the Form 10-K and Form 10-Q as soon as possible, but no later than August 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively.

On June 22, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing the acceptance of the Plan from the Exchange. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
