State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Cardo Medical, Inc. (the "Company") is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 (the "Form 10-Q") prior to the filing deadline because the Company needs additional time to complete the required information in the Form 10-Q. The Registrant expects to timely file its Form 10-Q within the prescribed five day extension period. The delay could not be cured without unreasonable effort or expense.

PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification:

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed ? If answer is no, identify report(s). Yes ý No o

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof ?   Yes ý No o

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company's management assessed the recoverability of the carrying values of its intangible assets and goodwill and evaluated the net realizable value of its inventories. Management has determined that there will be significant impairment charges and inventory reserves recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. As such, there will be a significant change in results of operations as compared to the corresponding period for the last fiscal year. The Company has yet to quantify these amounts because neither management nor the Company's auditors have completed their respective reviews.

Cardo Medical, Inc.
 (Name of Registrant as Specified in Charter)

has caused this notification to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
