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

On July 13, 2005, the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) notified DOR BioPharma, Inc. (the “Company”) that after review of the Company’s Compliance plan submitted on December 30, 2004, and after review of the submission dated July 6, 2005, it has determined that, in accordance with Section 1009 of the Company Guide, the period to regain compliance has been extended to October 15, 2005. This extension is granted in order to regain compliance with the continued listing standard of Section 1003 (a)(iii) of the Company Guide with shareholder’s equity of less than $6,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.

The Company must continue to provide the staff of AMEX with updates in conjunction with the initiatives under the plan as appropriate or requested. The Company will be subject to periodic review by the Exchange Staff during the extension period. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by the end of the extension period could result in the Company being delisted from the American Stock Exchange.

A copy of the press release announcing the notice is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
