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

On November 24, 2004, Generex Biotechnology Corporation received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market informing Generex that it does not comply with Market Place Rule 4310(c)(4), which requires Generex to have a minimum bid price per share of at least $1.00 for thirty (30) consecutive business days.

In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(D), Generex has 180 calendar days, or until May 23, 2005, to regain compliance with the Rule. If, at anytime prior to May 23, 2005, the bid price of Generex’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum period of ten (10) consecutive business days, Generex will regain compliance with the Rule.

In its recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Generex has discussed certain financing transactions and other activities in which it is currently engaged or in the process of negotiating. Generex believes that if it can consummate the financing transactions and complete the other activities, investor confidence in Generex will increase, which would have a positive effect on its stock price, such that its common stock would meet the minimum bid price requirement under Market Place Rule 4310(c)(4).

In the event compliance with Market Place Rule 4310(c)(4) cannot be demonstrated by May 23, 2005, the Staff will determine whether Generex meets The Nasdaq SmallCap Market initial listing criteria as set forth in Market Place Rule 4310(c), except for the bid price requirement. If Generex meets the initial listing criteria, the Staff will grant an additional 180 calendar day period for Generex to regain compliance. If Generex cannot regain compliance and is not eligible for an additional compliance period, the Staff will notify Generex that its securities will be delisted, at which time Generex may appeal the Staff’s determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel.
