Item 8.01 Other Matters.

On August 25, 2010, OMNI Energy Services Corp. (the “Company”) received a standard notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “NASDAQ”) as a result of the Company’s failure to file the Company’s Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2010 (“Form 10-Q”) as required under NASDAQ’s Rule 5250(c)(1). The Company issued a press release on August 31, 2010 disclosing its receipt of the notification from NASDAQ pursuant to Rule 5810(b). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company timely filed a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 17, 2010 disclosing that the Company is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 without unreasonable effort or expense. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 22, 2010, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, with the assistance of management, determined that certain of its previous financial statements must be amended. Because of the time required to complete the amended financial statements, the Company has been unable to complete the preparation of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The Company is also working to complete its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The Company plans to file the Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2010 as soon as practicable after the review of its financial statements for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2010 by the Company’s independent registered public accountants. The Company is in the process of completing a plan to regain compliance with the NASDAQ rules for submission to NASDAQ prior to the November 15, 2010 deadline.
