INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Section 3

On August 29, 2012, VirtualScopics, Inc., ("VirtualScopics") received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that the minimum bid price of its common stock had fallen below $1.00 for the last 30 consecutive business days and that its common stock is, therefore, subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) requires a $1.00 minimum bid price for continued listing of an issuer's common stock.

In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), VirtualScopics has until February 25, 2013 (180 calendar days from August 29, 2012), to regain compliance. No assurance can be given that VirtualScopics will regain compliance during that period.

VirtualScopics can regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule if the bid price of its common stock closes at $1.00 or higher for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 180-day period, although Nasdaq may, in its discretion, require VirtualScopics to maintain a bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a period in excess of ten consecutive business days before determining that it has demonstrated the ability to maintain long-term compliance.

Additionally, if compliance with this Rule cannot be demonstrated by February 25, 2013, Nasdaq will determine whether VirtualScopics meets the Nasdaq Capital Market initial listing criteria, except for the bid price requirement. If VirtualScopics meets the initial listing criteria, Nasdaq will notify VirtualScopics that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar day compliance period.

If Nasdaq determines that VirtualScopics is not eligible for an additional compliance period, Nasdaq will notify VirtualScopics that its common stock will be delisted. At that time, VirtualScopics may appeal this determination to delist its securities to a Listing Qualification Panel.

The full text of VirtualScopics’ press release concerning its receipt of a notice of deficiency from Nasdaq is furnished with this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
