Item 3.01.     

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


     On April 5, 2005, Eden Bioscience Corporation received a delisting warning letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market notifying us that the closing bid price per share for our common stock was below the $1.00 minimum bid price for 30 consecutive trading days and that, as a result, we no longer meet Nasdaq’s continued listing criteria. Nasdaq has provided us with 180 calendar days, or until October 3, 2005, to regain compliance. To regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the closing bid price of our common stock must remain above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days. If we do not regain compliance by October 3, 2005, Nasdaq will provide us written notification that our common stock will be delisted. At that time, we may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to delist our common stock to a Listings Qualification Panel. Alternatively, we may apply to transfer our common stock to the Nasdaq SmallCap Market if we satisfy the requirements for initial inclusion on that market, in which case we would be afforded the remainder of Nasdaq’s second 180 calendar day compliance period in order to regain compliance while on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Eden Bioscience management and Board of Directors are considering alternatives to address this issue.
