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

On January 20, 2010, Crescent Banking Company (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”), as required by the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, announcing that the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market on January 13, 2010, notifying the Company of its failure to comply with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”), which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. The Company’s common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for the last 30 consecutive business days. There is no change in the trading of the Company’s common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market at this time. In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a grace period of 180 calendar days, or until July 12, 2010, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price for its common stock, and will consider various options to resolve the deficiency and comply with the Bid Price Rule.

Pursuant to General Instruction F to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Form 8-K (“General Instruction F”), a copy of the Press Release is attached to this Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated into this Item 3.01 by this reference.
