NGAS Resources Reports Nasdaq Listing Deficiency

Business Wire, May 27, 2008

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- NGAS Resources, Inc. (Nasdaq: NGAS) today reported that it received a Nasdaq staff deficiency letter on May 21, 2008, notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the audit committee composition requirements of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2), which requires listed companies to maintain committee membership by at least three independent directors. The deficiency in the Company's audit committee composition resulted from a vacancy following the death on September 30, 2007 of Charles L. Cotterell, who had served as an independent director of the Company and a member of the audit committee of its board for over thirteen years.

Under the Nasdaq listing standards, the Company has until the earlier of September 30, 2008 or its next annual shareholders meeting to cure the deficiency. The Company's board of directors expects to appoint a qualified independent director to serve on the board and its audit committee prior to the shareholders meeting scheduled in June 2008, restoring the Company's compliance with the Nasdaq audit committee composition requirements within the grace period for curing the deficiency.
