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

On December 8, 2005 the Company received notice from the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) that after a hearing on December 2 with a Listing Qualifications Panel of the Amex Committee on Securities (“the Panel”), it has been granted an extension within which to regain compliance with the continued listing standards of the AMEX.

Based on the presentation of DOR management at that meeting, the Panel unanimously agreed to grant DOR until March 31, 2006 to regain compliance with the continued listing standard of Section 1003 (a)(iii) of the AMEX Company Guide. This standard requires that member companies that have incurred losses in their five most recent fiscal years must maintain a shareholder equity balance of at least $6,000,000. If the Company has not achieved the minimum shareholder equity requirement by March 31, 2006, the Panel unanimously agreed that the AMEX should immediately move to delist the Company’s common stock at that time with no further opportunity for the Company to appeal.
