The information included or incorporated in this report, including Exhibit 99.1, pursuant to this Item 2.02 of Form 8-K is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On July 6, 2005, Datastream Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) received a decision from the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”), dated July 5, 2005, reversing the decision of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) to grant the Company’s request to extend to July 29, 2005, the filing deadline for its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. In addition, the Listing Council remanded the matter to the Panel with instruction to immediately delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) because the Company has failed to satisfy the requirements of Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) requires that a listed company file with Nasdaq all reports and other documents filed or required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

In addition, the Company does not expect to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 by the required deadline. The Company’s common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq effective with the open of business on July 7, 2005.
