    On September 16, 2005, Valley Forge Scientific, Corp., a 
Pennsylvania corporation (``Issuer''), filed an application with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and 
Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its common stock, no par

    The Board of Directors (``the Board'') of the Issuer approved 
resolutions on September 12, 2005 to withdraw the Security from listing 
on BSE. The Issuer stated that the Board decided to withdraw the 
Security from BSE for the following reasons: (i) The Security has been, 
and expects to continue to be, traded on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market 
(``Nasdaq''); and (ii) additionally, the Security has not been actively 
traded on BSE during the last ten years. Therefore, the Board 
determined to delist the Security from BSE for administrative 
efficiency.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with 
applicable rules of BSE by complying with all applicable laws in the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the State in which the Issuer is 
incorporated, and by providing BSE with the required documents 
governing the withdrawal of securities from listing and registration on 
BSE. The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Security from listing on BSE and from registration under Section 12(b) 
of the Act,\3\ and shall not affect its obligation to be registered 
under Section 12(g) of the Act.\4\
