Item 8.01             Other Events

On December 20, 2006, Cyanotech Corporation (the “Company”) issued a news release announcing that on December 18, 2006 the Company received a Determination Letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). In its letter, the Panel granted, subject to certain conditions, the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Panel determined the Company will have until February 20, 2007 to file its late Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, and any required restatements. The decision represents the full extent of the Panel’s authority to grant an exception pursuant to Marketplace Rule 4002(b).

The Company expects to file both of the late Form 10-Qs and any required restatements on or before the February 20, 2007 deadline. If this is not accomplished, the Panel will issue a determination to delist the Company’s shares unless the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council determines to stay the delisting. Other conditions stated in the Letter require that the Company must be able to demonstrate compliance with all Nasdaq listing requirements.

The Company also expects to file Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2006 on or before its February 14, 2007 due date.

Other aspects of the Nasdaq Panel’s decision are included in the Company’s News Release which is attached hereto as exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
