Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On December 14, 2004, we received a notice from the NASDAQ Stock Market that Entrxs common stock was no longer eligible to be listed on the NASDAQ Small Cap Market. This is because the bid price of Entrxs common stock closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days prior to June 14, 2004, and therefor did not meet the continuing inclusion criteria set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4). In accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(D), Entrx was provided 180 calendar days, or until December 13, 2004, to come back into compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum closing bid requirement. The closing bid price of Entrxs common stock did not exceed $1.00 per share during that 180-day period, and we were, accordingly, notified that Entrxs common stock would be delisted from the NASDAQ Small Cap Market at the opening of business on December 23, 2004. We have the right to appeal NASDAQs determination to a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel, which would stay the delisting of Entrxs common stock pending a determination of that panel. We plan to appeal the determination, and have until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 21, 2004 to do so. We cannot predict the outcome of such appeal. Should our common stock be delisted from the NASDAQ Small Cap Market, we intend to request listing on the NASD Bulletin Board in lieu of the NASDAQ Small Cap Market. Such a request must be made through a broker/dealer. We do not know if such request will result in our common stock being traded on the NASD Bulletin Board.

Item 8.01 Other Events
As previously reported, a default was entered against us in December 2002 in favor of a former employee in Mexico. The default decision was rendered by a panel of the Mexican Federal Labor Arbitration Board for an unspecified amount. The employee was alleging damages of $9,000,000 arising out of his termination. The default was obtained without proper notice being given to us, and was set aside in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. On December 14, 2004, we were informed that the Labor Arbitration Board rendered a decision on December 13, 2004 to the effect that the former employee was entitled to an award of $350,000 from Entrx. The award is in the form of a recommendation and it is up to the Mexican Federal Court to affirm, modify or reject the award. On December 15, 2004, both we and the employee filed appeals in the matter. We anticipate that the Mexican Federal Court will render its decision sometime in the first quarter of 2005. In the meantime, as previously reported, we intend to continue to pursue our claims against the same employee for breach of contract, fraud, collusion and other causes of action in connection with the 1999 sale of one of our operating businesses in Mexico.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
