                 PERFECTDATA'S COMMON STOCK DELISTED FROM NASDAQ


         SIMI  VALLEY,  California,  April 15,  2003 -  PerfectData  Corporation
(NASDAQ:PERF)  announced  today that,  effective  with the opening of trading on
Thursday,  April 17,  2003,  its Common  Stock will be delisted  from The Nasdaq
SmallCap Market.  The Common Stock will immediately be eligible for quotation on
the OTC Bulletin  Board under the symbol "PERF," the same symbol under which the
Common Stock was traded on Nasdaq.

         The Company noted that, as previously reported,  the Company was not in
compliance with two Nasdaq Market Rules, i.e., not having a shareholders' equity
in excess of $2,500,000 and its bid price being below $1.00 per share.

         Harris  A.  Shapiro,  PERF's  Chairman  and  Chief  Executive  Officer,
commented  that  "We are  obviously  disappointed  that  our  Common  Stock  was
delisted.  However,  our cash position is still strong and we shall  continue to
seek  an  acquisition  that  will  bring  greater   shareholder  value  for  our
shareholders."

         PerfectData Corporation,  based in Simi Valley, California, designs and
markets a broad line of  computer,  office  care and  maintenance  products  and
accessories. The products are designed to eliminate or minimize contamination in
and  around  computers  and office  automation  equipment,  and to enhance  user
