Item 3.01.

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

On January 12, 2010, Wilshire Enterprises, Inc. (“Wilshire” or the “Company”) received notice from NYSE Amex, LLC (“NYSE Amex” or the “Exchange”) of its intent to delist the Company’s common stock from the Exchange. The Company will not appeal this decision and pursuant to the terms of the notice, if the Company elects not to appeal the Exchange’s decision by January 19, 2010, it will become final. The staff of the Exchange will then suspend trading in the Company’s common stock on the Exchange and file an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission to strike the Company’s common stock from listing and registration on the Exchange.

As previously announced, on December 1, 2009 the Company received a notice dated November 30, 2009 from NYSE Amex indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Exchange’s Company Guide with stockholders’ equity of less than $4,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three out of its four most recent fiscal years and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Exchange’s Company Guide with stockholders’ equity of less than $6,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years. The Company was afforded the opportunity to submit a plan to NYSE Amex by December 30, 2009, which was later extended to January 6, 2010, addressing how it intended to regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide. On December 30, 2009, the Company announced that, after careful review and consideration, it would not be able to submit a plan to regain compliance with the NYSE Amex continued listing standards.

The Company expects that its common stock will be traded on the over-the-counter market and quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board upon delisting from the NYSE Amex. The Company noted that there can be no assurance that any broker-dealer will be willing to act as a market maker in the Company’s shares or that, if such quotations begin, they will continue for any length of time.

On January 15, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had received notice from NYSE Amex of its intent to delist the Company’s common stock from the Exchange. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
