Item 4.01 Changes In Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On January 6, 2006, BDO Dunwoody LLP (“BDO”) resigned as the auditor for Generex Biotechnology Corporation (the “Company”).

BDO’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2004 and July 31, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that BDO’s report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2005 did contain a going concern note.

During the Company’s past two fiscal years and the interim period through January 6, 2006, the Company had no disagreements with BDO on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to BDO’s satisfaction, would have caused BDO to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports for such periods, and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K; however, in connection with the Company’s un-audited interim financial statements for the second quarter ended January 31, 2004, the Company drafted a letter dated February 17, 2004 to the Office of Chief Accountant of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding proper accounting treatment in respect of certain employee stock options. BDO made the Company’s Audit Committee aware of the matter. The Company, with the agreement of BDO, subsequently recorded the options in accordance with the interpretation supplied by the Office of Chief Accountant. Although the Company has not yet engaged a successor independent accountant to BDO, the Company will authorize BDO to respond fully to any and all inquiries of any such successor accountant.
