Item 8.01.          Other Events.

EQM Technologies & Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) has received notice of a formal determination of the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) that the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Environmental Quality Management, Inc. (“EQ”), is no longer a small business for purposes of qualifying for small business set asides on federal government procurements. EQ is reviewing its options with respect to the foregoing. EQ intends to appeal the SBA’s determination on legal grounds and to apply for recertification as a small business on the basis of a change in the underlying facts that served as the basis of the SBA’s determination. There can be no assurance that EQ will be successful on such appeal or in obtaining such recertification.

The Company believes that as a result of the SBA’s determination EQ is not permitted to bid on future small business set asides for federal government procurements, but is permitted to continue performing under its existing contracts previously awarded as small business set asides.
