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

      On September 5, 2006, Berkshire Bancorp Inc. (the "Company") was informed
in a telephone call by a member of the staff of Nasdaq (which was followed by a
letter from Nasdaq dated September 8, 2006) that, due to the previously reported
resignation of Thomas V. Guarino from the Company's board of directors, the
Company was no longer in compliance with the requirements for listing on The
Nasdaq Global Market under Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2)(A), which requires that
the Company's audit committee be comprised of at least three independent
directors. The Company intends to remedy this non-compliance on or before the
Company's next annual meeting of shareholders, currently planned for May 2007,
as provided in Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(4). The Company is currently searching
for an appropriate qualified independent candidate for the vacancy on the
Company's board of directors and audit committee.
