Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
 
The Children’s Place Retail Stores, Inc. announced on September 18, 2006 that it will request a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel in response to the Company’s receipt of a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter dated September 15, 2006. The letter states that the Company is not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) and, therefore, its common stock is subject to delisting. The letter was issued in accordance with Nasdaq procedures due to the delayed filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 29, 2006 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pending a decision by the Panel, the Company’s common stock will remain listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market.  However, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing. A copy of Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
