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.
