Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

               On November 13, 2013, Qualstar Corporation (“Qualstar”) issued a press release regarding results of operations and financial condition for the 2014 fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2013.  A copy of this press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

               In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On November 1, 2013, Qualstar sent a letter to Benchmark Electronics Manufacturing Solutions, the successor in interest to CTS Electronics Manufacturing Solutions (“CTS”), to exercise its right to terminate the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement between Qualstar and CTS, dated December 20, 2012 (the “CTS Agreement”). The date the CTS Agreement will terminate has not yet been determined. Qualstar plans on bringing inventory and manufacturing in-house, and by so doing, believes that Qualstar will be more responsive to its customers in terms of quality and delivery times, and will be able to manage its costs more effectively. Qualstar will file a Current Report on Form 8-K once the CTS Agreement is terminated.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
