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


Research Frontiers Incorporated received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market
on July 5, 2005, indicating that the Company's market value of listed securities
is below the minimum $50 million requirement for continued listing on the
NASDAQ National Market System.  The letter states that if the Company's market
value of listed securities does not exceed $50 million for a minimum of
10 consecutive business days prior to August 4, 2005, NASDAQ  will notify
the Company that the Company's securities will be delisted from the NASDAQ
National Market.

Research Frontiers received a Staff Determination Letter on August 8, 2005
indicating that Research Frontiers common stock is no longer eligible for
continued listing on the Nasdaq National Market System because the market
value of the Company's listed securities was below the minimum
$50 million requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ National
Market System under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(b)(1)(A) .

Research Frontiers is filing a request for a hearing before the Nasdaq Listing
Qualifications Panel to appeal the Staff Determination Letter.  There can be
no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued
listing. While the appeals process is underway, the delisting process will
be stayed, and the Company's common stock will continue to trade on the
Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "REFR" until the panel makes a
final decision.  If the appeal by Research Frontiers is unsuccessful,
the Company will apply to transfer the listing of its common stock to
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market where it previously traded. Research
Frontiers currently meets the requirements for listing on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market.
