  Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a
    Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
  (b)           On April 23,
  2008, Willdan Group, Inc. (the "Company") notified Nasdaq that, as a
  result of the resignation of Ms. Chell Smith from its board of directors
  (the "Board") on April 20, 2008, as described below, the Company did not
  have a majority of independent directors on its Board, as required by Nasdaq Rule 4350(c). 
  On April 22, 2008, Mr. Wayne Shelton was appointed to the Board, as
  described below.  Because Mr. Shelton
  qualifies as an independent director, as of April 22, 2008, a majority of
  the members of the Company's Board are again independent within the meaning of Rule 4350(c).
  Additionally, Ms. Smith
  served as a member of the Company's Audit Committee.  As a result of her resignation, the Company did
  not have three members on its Audit Committee, as required by Nasdaq Rule 4350(d).  On April 22, 2008, Mr. Shelton was
  appointed to the Company's Audit Committee and as of that date, the Company again
  had three members on its Audit Committee as required by Rule 4350(d).
  Item 5.02
  Departure
  of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment
    of Certain Officers;
  Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
    Officers.
  (a)
  On
  April 20, 2008, Ms. Smith, who has served on the Board of the Company
  since September 2006, informed the Company that she will resign from the
  Board, effective immediately. Ms. Smith also served as a member of the
  Company's Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance
  Committees, and as the chairperson of the Company's Investment, Finance and
  Strategy Committee.
  The Company understands that Ms. Smith has resigned because she no
  longer believes she is aligned with the overall governance of the Company.  Ms. Smith provided a letter to the
  Company discussing her resignation, which letter is filed as an exhibit to this
  report on Form 8-K.
  (d)
  On
  April 22, 2008, the Board elected Wayne Shelton to the Board and appointed
  him to the Audit Committee of the Board to fill the vacancy created by Ms. Smith's
  resignation.
  Mr. Shelton
  served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Hughes Information Systems,
  an information systems and engineering firm and subsidiary of Hughes Aircraft
  Company, from 1990 until his retirement in 1997.  From 1987 until 1990, Mr. Shelton served
  as President and Chief Executive Officer of Planning Research Corporation ("PRC"),
  a global engineering and technology services firm and wholly owned subsidiary
  of Emhart Corporation.  Prior to becoming
  PRC's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Shelton was PRC's President and Chief
  Operating Officer.  Additionally, from
  1985 to 1990, Mr. Shelton served as executive vice president of Emhart
  Corporation, a multinational manufacturing, electronics and chemical
  company.  Mr. Shelton currently serves
  as a trustee for Inova Health System ("Inova"), a not-for-profit health care
  system.  Mr. Shelton is also a
  member of Inova's audit and compliance subcommittees.
