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

On November 30, 2004, DOR BioPharma, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) that after review of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2004; the Company does not currently meet an AMEX continued listing standard. Specifically, the notice provides that the Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iii) of the AMEX Company Guide with shareholder’s equity of less than $6 million and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.

The notice requires the Company to submit a plan by December 30, 2004 advising AMEX of the action it has taken, or will take, to bring the Company into compliance with the continued listing standards by May 30, 2005. If the plan is accepted, the Company will remain listed during the plan period of up to six months, during which time it will be subject to periodic review to determine whether it is making progress consistent with the plan. The notice indicates that if the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards at the conclusion of the six month plan period, or does not make sufficient progress consistent with the plan during such plan period, the Company may be subject to delisting proceedings. The Company may also be subject to delisting proceedings if the Company does not submit a plan or if AMEX does not accept the Company’s plan.

The Company intends to submit a plan by no later than December 30, 2004 advising AMEX of the actions it has taken or will take to bring the Company into compliance with AMEX continued listing standards.
