PROXY STATEMENT
2007 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
 
This Proxy Statement is furnished to the shareholders of Entrx Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “Entrx” or “we”), in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Entrx of proxies to be voted at the annual meeting of Entrx shareholders (the “Meeting”), to be held at 10:00 a.m. on December 17, 2007 at the offices of Entrx at 800 Nicollet Mall, Suite 2690, Minneapolis, Minnesota. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of Proxy (the “Proxy”) were first mailed on approximately November ___, 2007 to the shareholders of record of Entrx as of the close of business on October 26, 2007.

VOTING INFORMATION

Who is entitled to vote?

The holders of common stock of Entrx who are shareholders of record on October 26, 2007, may vote at the Meeting. As of October 26, 2007, there were 7,616,147 shares of Entrx's common stock outstanding.

What are you voting on?

At the Meeting, the following matters will be voted on:

 
The election of four members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Entrx.
 
A proposal to amend Entrx’s Restated and Amended Certificate of Incorporation in order to effect a reverse stock split, followed by a forward stock split, of Entrx’s common stock.

 
Other matters incident to the conduct of the Meeting.

How does the Board recommend you vote on the proposals?

The Board recommends that you vote your shares FOR the election of each of Entrx's nominees for director.

The Board recommends that you vote your shares FOR the proposed amendments to Entrx’s Restated and Amended Certificate of Incorporation in order to effect a reverse, followed by a forward, stock split of Entrx’s common stock.

Who will be soliciting your vote?

The Board is soliciting your vote by mail through this Proxy Statement. However, your vote may also be solicited in person or by telephone by an officer of Entrx. Other than the forgoing, no one has been engaged to directly or indirectly make solicitations or recommendations relating to the election of directors, or the reverse, followed by a forward, stock split. Brokers/dealers, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians will be requested to forward soliciting materials to beneficial owners of Entrx’s common stock, and will be reimbursed for their expenses in connection with that activity. The cost of all of this solicitation is being paid for by Entrx.

How can you vote?

If you hold your shares as a shareholder of record, you can vote in person at the Meeting or you can vote by mail. You are a “shareholder of record” if you hold your shares directly in your own name. If you hold your shares indirectly in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, you are a “street name shareholder.” If you are a street name shareholder, you will receive instructions from your bank, broker or other nominee describing how to vote your shares.
 
1


 
How do you vote by mail?

You can vote by mail by following the instructions on the accompanying form of Proxy, signing the Proxy, and mailing it to the address noted on the Proxy or by using the accompanying envelope provided for that purpose. The persons named as proxies on the Proxy will vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If you sign and submit your Proxy without giving instructions, the proxies named on the Proxy will vote your shares as recommended by the Board of Directors.

How can you revoke your Proxy?

If you are a shareholder of record, you can revoke your Proxy by:

 
Submitting a new Proxy;

 
Giving written notice before the meeting to Entrx's Secretary, at 800 Nicollet Mall, Suite 2690, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402, stating that you are revoking your Proxy; or

 
Attending the Meeting and voting your shares in person.

Merely attending the meeting without voting will not revoke your Proxy.

If you are a street name shareholder, you may revoke your Proxy only as instructed by the bank, broker or other nominee holding your shares.

How do you sign the Proxy?

Sign your name exactly as it appears on the Proxy. If you are signing in a representative capacity (for example, as a guardian, trustee, executor, administrator, attorney or the officer or agent of a company), include your name and title or capacity. If the shares are held in custody (for example, under the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act), the custodian should sign the Proxy, not the minor or other beneficiary.

If the shares are held in joint ownership, both owners should sign the Proxy. If, however, only one of the owners signs, that Proxy (referred to as the “first Proxy”) will be counted, unless one or more of the other owners signs a Proxy or casts a vote which is in conflict with the first Proxy, in which case the vote of the majority of the owners in interest shall be entitled to vote or give authority to vote all of the shares. If more than one owner votes, but the vote is evenly split on an issue, the shares may be voted proportionately; that is, one-half of the shares may be voted on one side of the issue, and the other half on the other side.

What does it mean if you receive more than one proxy or voting instruction card?

It means your shares are registered differently or are in more than one account. Please provide voting instructions for each Proxy you receive to ensure all your shares are voted.

What constitutes a quorum?

A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting of shareholders. A majority of the outstanding shares, present in person or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes (as described below) are counted as present for establishing a quorum.

How can you cast your vote for directors?

You may cast your vote for any nominee as a member of the Board of Directors two ways. You may cast one vote for each share you own for each nominee, or you may cumulate your votes. In order to cumulate your votes, you would multiply the number of directors to be elected (four in this case) by the number of shares you own. This is the total (or cumulative) number of votes you can exercise. You may then cast this cumulative number of votes for one nominee, or distribute those votes among two or more nominees in any proportion you desire. In an uncontested election there is normally no need to cumulate votes.
 
2

 
How many votes are needed for approval of each proposal?

Persons nominated to be a member of the Board of Directors are elected by a plurality. That is, since there are four directorships established by the Board of Directors, those four nominees who receive the greatest number of votes will be elected as members of the Board of Directors, regardless of whether they receive the affirmative vote of the shareholders owning a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or by proxy. In an uncontested election, the plurality requirement is not a factor.

Approval of the proposal to amend Entrx’s Restated and Amended Certificate of Incorporation in order to effect a reverse, followed by a forward, stock split of Entrx’s common stock, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Entrx’s common stock.

What is a broker non-vote?

A broker non-vote occurs when a broker submits a Proxy that does not indicate a vote for some of the proposals because the broker did not receive instructions from the beneficial owner on how to vote on those proposals and does not have discretionary authority to vote in the absence of instructions.

How can you attend the Meeting?

If you are a shareholder of record on October 26, 2007, you can attend the meeting by presenting acceptable identification at the Meeting. If you are a street name shareholder you may attend the meeting by presenting acceptable identification along with evidence of your beneficial ownership of Entrx common stock.

PROPOSAL 2.

PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE RESTATED AND AMENDED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF ENTRX CORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT FOLLOWED BY A FORWARD STOCK SPLIT OF ENTRX'S COMMON STOCK 

Summary

Term Sheet

 
o
We plan to cause a reverse stock split of our common stock on a 1 for 500 share basis, whereby each 500 shares of our common stock will be converted into one share.

 
o
The reverse stock split will result in shareholders who own less than 500 shares of our common stock holding only a fractional share (less than one share).

 
o
We will purchase the fractional shares of our shareholders who held less than 500 shares before the reverse stock split.

 
o
The cash price will equal the average closing market price of our common stock over a period of 20 trading days prior to announcing the record date of the reverse stock split.

 
o
Immediately following the reverse stock split, and excluding those shareholders left with only a fractional share, we will cause a forward stock split of our common stock, whereby each share of our common stock will be converted back into 500 shares.

 
o
As a result of the foregoing, if you owned less than 500 shares you will receive cash for your fractional shares, and if you owned 500 shares or more you will retain the shares you owned prior to the implementation of the reverse stock split.

 
o
We will publicly announce the effective date of the reverse and forward stock split (the reverse/forward stock split) some time in the next 12 months (after the annual meeting), by press release, and the filing of a Form 8K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Discussion

The Board of Directors has authorized, and recommends for your approval a reverse 1-for-500 stock split followed immediately by a forward 500-for-1 stock split of Entrx’s Common Stock;

The proposed transaction is comprised of a reverse stock split (the "Reverse Split") pursuant to which each 500 shares of Common Stock registered in the name of a shareholder at the effective time of the Reverse Split will be converted into one share of Common Stock, followed immediately by a forward stock split (the "Forward Split") pursuant to which each share of Common Stock outstanding upon consummation of the Reverse Split will be converted into 500 shares of Common Stock. As permitted under Delaware law, shares of Common Stock that would be converted into less than one share in the Reverse Split will instead be converted into the right to receive a cash payment as described below (we refer to the Reverse Split, the Forward Split and these cash payments, collectively, as the "Reverse/Forward Split"). However, if a registered shareholder holds 500 or more shares of Common Stock in his or her account at the effective time of the Reverse Split, any fractional share in such account resulting from the Reverse Split will not be cashed out and the total number of shares held by such holder will not change as a result of the Reverse/Forward Split.
 
6

 
The Board will have the discretion to determine if and when to effect the Reverse/Forward Split, if approved by the shareholders, and reserves the right to abandon such transaction even if approved by the shareholders (see "Reservation of Rights"). If shareholders approve and the Board elects to implement the Reverse/Forward Split, the Reverse/Forward Split will be consummated within one year of the date of the Annual Meeting. If the Board determines to implement the Reverse/Forward Split transaction approved by the shareholders, Entrx will publicly announce its decision in a near-simultaneous press release and Form 8K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the effective date of the Reverse/Forward Split. The press release and Form 8K filing will set forth the cash-out price per share.

Entrx believes that the Reverse/Forward Split will result in significantly reduced shareholder record keeping and mailing expenses for Entrx and provide holders of fewer than 500 shares with an efficient, cost-effective way to cash-out their investments.

It is currently estimated that following the Reverse/Forward Split, Entrx will have between 900 and 1,000 common stock shareholders, approximately 60 of whom will be of record. Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 provides that the Company can terminate its registration under that Act upon the filing of a certificate to the Securities and Exchange Commission that it has less than 300 shareholders. Upon such termination, our obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including our obligations to file publicly available periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide our shareholders with proxy statements prior to shareholder meetings, would cease. We have no present intention to terminate our registration under the Securities and Exchange Act.

In determining whether and when to implement the Reverse/Forward Split transaction following shareholder approval, the Board will consider factors such as (1) the then prevailing trading price and trading volume for the Common Stock and the anticipated impact of the Reverse/Forward Split on the trading market for the Common Stock; (2) the availability and cost of funds required to make the cash payments to shareholders with small holdings whose shares are to be converted into the right to receive cash pursuant to the Reverse/Forward Split, and the terms of any arrangements that Entrx may enter into to raise those funds; (3) other transactions that Entrx might be considering; and (4) prevailing general market and economic conditions.

The most important consideration in determining when and whether to effect the Reverse/Forward Split will be the trading price of Entrx’s common stock over the 30-day period prior to the record date. The Board of Directors will attempt to determine if the trading price is sufficiently low when it establishes the record date. Thus, the price over the 20-day period prior to the record date may be the lowest price at which the shareholders who will be paid cash in lieu of their shares might otherwise realize on the sale of their shares. The high closing price over the past 12 months prior to the date of this Proxy Statement was $0.47, and the maximum any shareholder owning fewer than 500 shares could have received on the sale of his or her shares during that period, assuming ownership of 499 shares, would have been less than $250. The common stock of Entrx has been sporadically traded over the past several years, with the average daily volume over the last three months prior to the date of this Proxy Statement being less than 11,000 shares. Relatively small volumes could significantly affect the market prices for our shares. If the Board of Directors were to establish a record date of the Reverse/Forward Split in advance, the market price of Entrx’s common stock could be affected significantly by a small volume of orders placed for the purpose of effecting the market price prior to the record date.
 
7

 
If approved by shareholders and implemented by the Board, the Reverse/Forward Split will become effective on such date as may be determined by the Board, within 30 days after the press release and Form 8K filing of the implementation of the Reverse/Forward Split, upon the filing of the necessary amendments to Entrx's Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Effective Date"). The form of proposed amendments to Entrx's Restated Certificate of Incorporation necessary to effect the Reverse/Forward Split are attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A. The highlights of the Reverse/Forward Split are as follows.

We have not sought any report, opinion or appraisal from any third party in connection with the Reverse/Forward Split.

Negative Aspects of the Reverse/Forward Split

Shareholders owning less than 500 shares should consider the following negative aspects of the Reverse/Forward Split:

 
o
We may choose a record date which results in a lower price for your shares than you would have chosen.

 
o
You will no longer be entitled to vote as a shareholder of Entrx.

 
o
You will no longer be entitled to share in any assets, earnings or dividends in Entrx.

 
o
You will no longer be entitled to the receipt of proxy statements or other information material provided by Entrx to its shareholders.

Shareholders owning 500 shares or more should consider the following negative aspects of the Reverse/Forward Split:

 
o
While we do not intend to do so, following the Reverse/Forward Split, we will be able to terminate our registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in which case we would no longer be required to provide you with information regarding the Company through the filing of proxy statements, periodic reports and other reports required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Effect on Shareholders

If approved by shareholders at the Annual Meeting and implemented by the Board, the Reverse/Forward Split will affect Entrx shareholders as follows:

Shareholder before completion of the Reverse/Forward Split
 
Net effect after completion of the Reverse/Forward Split
Registered shareholders holding 500 or more shares of Common Stock.

Reasons for the Reverse/Forward Split

The Board recommends that shareholders approve the Reverse/Forward Split transaction described herein for the following reasons. These, and other reasons, are described in detail under "Background and Purpose of the Reverse/Forward Split" below.

Issue
 
Solution
Entrx has a large number of shareholders. Specifically, of the approximately 4,700 shareholders, approximately 3,800 own less than 500 shares and approximately 2,500 own less than 100 shares. Continuing to maintain accounts for these shareholders, including costs associated with required shareholder mailings, will cost Entrx approximately $15,000 per year.
 
The Reverse/Forward Split will reduce the number of shareholders which own relatively few shares, resulting in a cost saving to Entrx.
     
In many cases it is relatively expensive for shareholders with fewer than 500 shares to sell their shares on the open market.
 
The Reverse/Forward Split cashes out shareholders with small accounts without transaction costs such as brokerage fees. However, if these shareholders do not want to cash out their holdings of Common Stock, they may purchase additional shares on the open market to increase the number of shares of Common Stock in their account to at least 500 shares, or if applicable, consolidate/transfer their accounts into an account with at least 500 shares of Common Stock.

Structure of the Reverse/Forward Split

The Reverse/Forward Split includes both a reverse stock split and a forward stock split of the Common Stock. If the Reverse/Forward Split transaction is approved by shareholders and implemented by the Board, the Reverse Split is expected to occur at 6:00 p.m. Delaware time on the Effective Date and the Forward Split is expected to occur at 6:01 p.m. Delaware time on the Effective Date. Upon consummation of the Reverse Split, each registered shareholder on the Effective Date will receive one share of Common Stock for each 500 shares of Common Stock held in his or her account at that time. If a registered shareholder holds at least 500 shares of Common Stock in his or her account, any fractional share in such account will not be cashed out after the Reverse Split and the total number of shares held by such holder will not change as a result of the Reverse/Forward Split. Any registered shareholder who holds fewer than 500 shares of Common Stock in his or her account at the time of the Reverse Split (also referred to as a "Cashed-Out Shareholder") will receive a cash payment instead of fractional shares. This cash payment will be determined and paid as described below under "Determination of Cash-out Price" at page 13. Immediately following the Reverse Split, all shareholders who are not Cashed-Out Shareholders will receive 500 shares of Common Stock for every one share of Common Stock they held following the Reverse Split. We intend for the Reverse/Forward Split to treat shareholders holding Common Stock in street name through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) in the same manner as shareholders whose shares are registered in their names, and nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse/Forward Split for their beneficial holders. Accordingly, we also refer to those street name holders who receive a cash payment instead of fractional shares as "Cashed-Out Shareholders." However, nominees may have different procedures, and shareholders holding shares in street name should contact their nominees.

In general, the Reverse/Forward Split can be illustrated by the following examples:

Hypothetical Scenario
 
Result
Mr. Anderson is a registered shareholder who holds 400 shares of Common Stock in his account immediately prior to the Reverse/Forward Split.
 
Instead of receiving a fractional share of Common Stock after the Reverse Split, Mr. Anderson's shares will be converted into the right to receive cash. If the procedure described below under "Determination of Cash-out Price" resulted in a per share price of $0.25 per share, Mr. Anderson would receive $100 ($0.25 x 400 shares).
 
Note: If Mr. Anderson wants to continue his investment in Entrx, he can, prior to the Effective Date, buy at least 100 more shares and hold them in his account with the 400 shares he already has, giving him 500 shares. Mr. Anderson would have to act far enough in advance of the Reverse/Forward Split so that the purchase is completed and the additional shares are credited in his account by the close of business (eastern standard time) on the Effective Date.
     
Ms. Smith has two separate record accounts. As of the Effective Date, she holds 300 shares of Common Stock in one account and 400 shares of Common Stock in the other. All of her shares are registered in her name only.
 
As described above, Ms. Smith will receive cash payments equal to the cash-out price of her Common Stock in each record account instead of receiving fractional shares. Assuming a hypothetical cash-out price of $0.25 per share, Ms. Smith would receive two checks totaling $175 (300 x $0.25 = $75; 400 x $0.25 = $100; $75 + $100 = $175).
 
Note: If Ms. Smith wants to continue her investment in Entrx, she can consolidate or transfer her two record accounts prior to the Effective Date into an account with at least 500 shares of Common Stock. Alternatively, she can buy at least 200 more shares for the first account and at least 100 more shares for the second account. She would have to act far enough in advance of the Reverse/Forward Split so that the consolidation or the purchase is completed by the close of business (eastern standard time) on the Effective Date.
     
Mr. Johnson holds 500 shares of Common Stock as of the Effective Date.
 
After the Reverse/Forward Split, Mr. Johnson will continue to hold all 500 shares of Common Stock.
     
Ms. Jones holds 1,000 shares of Common Stock in a brokerage account as of the Effective Date.
 
Entrx intends for the Reverse/Forward Split to treat shareholders holding Common Stock in street name through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) in the same manner as shareholders whose shares are registered in their names. Nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse/Forward Split for their beneficial holders. However, nominees may have different procedures. Ms. Jones should contact her nominees to ascertain the procedure being adopted by that nominee.

Background and Purpose of the Reverse/Forward Split

Entrx has a shareholder base of approximately 4,700 shareholders. This is a relatively large number of shareholders for a company of our size. As of October 26, 2007, approximately 3,800 holders of our Common Stock owned fewer than 500 shares. At that time, these 3,800 shareholders represented approximately 81% of the total number of holders of Common Stock, but held in the aggregate approximately 360,000 shares, or only five percent of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Entrx expects to benefit from a cost saving as a result of the Reverse/Forward Split. The cost of administering each registered shareholder's account is the same regardless of the number of shares held in that account. Therefore, Entrx's costs to maintain such small accounts are disproportionately high when compared to the total number of shares involved. In 2007, we expect that each registered street name and shareholder will cost Entrx approximately $4.00, or at least $15,000, for transfer agent and other administrative fees as well as printing and postage costs to mail proxy materials and the annual report. We expect that these costs will only increase over time.

Moreover, the Reverse/Forward Split will provide shareholders with fewer than 500 shares of Common Stock with a cost-effective way to cash out their investments, because Entrx will pay all transaction costs in connection with the Reverse/Forward Split. Otherwise, shareholders with small holdings would likely incur brokerage fees which are disproportionately high relative to the market value of their shares if they wanted to sell their stock. The Reverse/Forward Split will eliminate these problems for most shareholders with small holdings.

In light of these disproportionate costs, the Board believes that it is in the best interests of Entrx and its shareholders to eliminate the administrative burden and costs associated with such small accounts, and to provide our less-than-500-share shareholders a way of disposing of their shares on an economical basis.

The estimated cost of effecting the reverse/forward stock split, including legal fees and stock transfer fees, is $18,000. Printing and mailing costs in connection with our annual meeting proxy statement are only marginally increased by reason of the Reverse/Forward Split. None of our executive officers, directors or affiliates that own any shares of our common stock own less than 500 shares, and none of them will accordingly be cashed out.

Entrx has in the past and may in the future pursue alternative methods of reducing its shareholder base, whether or not the Reverse/Forward Split is approved and implemented, including odd-lot tender offers and programs to facilitate sales by shareholders of odd-lot holdings. However, there can be no assurance that Entrx will decide to pursue any such transaction.

Effect of the Reverse/Forward Split on Entrx Shareholders

Registered Shareholders with Fewer Than 500 Shares of Common Stock:

If we complete the Reverse/Forward Split and you are a Cashed-Out Shareholder (i.e., a shareholder holding fewer than 500 shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Reverse Split):

 
o
You will not receive fractional shares of stock as a result of the Reverse Split in respect of your shares being cashed out.

 
o
Instead of receiving fractional shares, you will receive a cash payment in respect of your affected shares. See "Determination of Cash-out Price" at page 13.

 
o
After the Reverse Split, you will have no further interest in Entrx with respect to your cashed-out shares. These shares will no longer entitle you to the right to vote as a shareholder or share in Entrx's assets, earnings, or profits or in any dividends paid after the Reverse Split. In other words, you will no longer hold your cashed-out shares, you will have only the right to receive cash for these shares. In addition, you will not be entitled to receive interest with respect to the period of time between the Effective Date and the date you receive your payment for the cashed-out shares.
 
11

 
 
o
You will not have to pay any service charges or brokerage commissions in connection with the Reverse/Forward Split.

 
o
As soon as practicable after the time we effect the Reverse/Forward Split, you will receive a payment for the cashed-out shares you held immediately prior to the Reverse Split in accordance with the procedures described below.

If You Hold Book-Entry Shares:

 
o
Most of Entrx's registered shareholders hold their shares in book-entry form under the Direct Registration System for securities. These shareholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of Common Stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts.

 
o
If you are a Cashed-Out Shareholder who holds registered shares in a book-entry account, you do not need to take any action to receive your cash payment. A check will be mailed to you at your registered address as soon as practicable after the Effective Date. By signing and cashing this check, you will warrant that you owned the shares for which you received a cash payment.

If You Hold Certificated Shares:

 
o
If you are a Cashed-Out Shareholder with a stock certificate representing your cashed-out shares, you will receive a transmittal letter as soon as practicable after the Effective Date. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how to surrender your certificate(s) to Entrx's transfer agent, American Stock Transfer, for your cash payment. You will not receive your cash payment until you surrender your outstanding certificate(s) to American Stock Transfer, together with a completed and executed copy of the letter of transmittal. Please do not send your certificates until you receive your letter of transmittal. For further information, see "Stock Certificates" below.

 
o
All amounts owed to you will be subject to applicable federal income tax and state abandoned property laws.

 
o
You will not receive any interest on cash payments owed to you as a result of the Reverse/Forward Split.

NOTE: If you want to continue to hold Common Stock after the Reverse/Forward Split, you may do so by taking either of the following actions far enough in advance so that it is completed by the Effective Date:

(1) purchase a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock on the open market so that you hold at least 500 shares of Common Stock in your account prior to the Reverse Split; or

(2) if applicable, consolidate your accounts so that you hold at least 500 shares of Common Stock in one account prior to the Reverse Split.

Registered Shareholders with 500 or More Shares of Common Stock:

If You Hold Certificated Stock:

If you are a registered shareholder with 500 or more shares of Common Stock as of 6:00 p.m. Delaware time on the Effective Date, we will first reclassify your shares into one-five hundredth (1/500) of the number of shares you held immediately prior to the Reverse Split. One minute after the Reverse Split, at 6:01 p.m. Delaware time, we will reclassify your shares in the Forward Split into 500 times the number of shares you held after the Reverse Split, which will result in the same number of shares you held before the Reverse Split. As a result, the Reverse/Forward Split will not affect the number of shares that you hold if you hold 500 or more shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Reverse Split. To illustrate, if we were to effect the 1-for-500 Reverse/500-for-1 Forward Split and you held 1,000 shares of Common Stock in your account immediately prior to the Reverse Split, your shares would be converted into two shares in the Reverse Split and then back to 1,000 shares in the Forward Split.

If You Hold Shares in Street Name:

Entrx intends for the Reverse/Forward Split to treat shareholders holding Common Stock in street name through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) in the same manner as shareholders whose shares are registered in their names. Nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse/Forward Split for their beneficial holders. However, nominees may have different procedures and shareholders holding Common Stock in street name should contact their nominees.

Option and Warranty Holders:

If you hold options or warrants to purchase Entrx stock, the Reverse/Forward Split will not affect the number of shares of Common Stock you may acquire under those options or warrants.

Determination of Cash-Out Price

In order to avoid the expense and inconvenience of issuing fractional shares to shareholders who hold less than one share of Common Stock after the Reverse Split, under Delaware state law Entrx may either arrange for the sale of these fractional shares or pay cash for their fair value. If shareholders approve the proposal at the Annual Meeting and the Reverse/Forward Split is completed, Entrx will pay cash for the fractional shares based on the trading value of the Common Stock that is cashed out. The Cashed-Out Shareholders will receive a cash payment in consideration of the shares they held immediately prior to the Reverse Split in accounts with fewer than 500 shares of common stock. This cash-out payment will be an amount per share equal to the average daily closing price per share of the Common Stock quoted on the OTC market as reported by “bigcharts.com” for the period of twenty consecutive trading days ending on the day prior to our press release and Form 8K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, announcing the Board’s decision to implement the Reverse/Forward Split, and setting forth the cash-out price per share based upon the forgoing formula.

Entrx Corporation common stock is traded sporadically over the counter, and bid and asked quotations, as well as transactions, are reported in the pink sheets. The high and low bid quotations, as reported in the pink sheets for each quarter during the past two years, are as follows:

Fairness of the Reverse/Forward Split

We believe that the reverse/forward stock split is fair to all of our unaffiliated shareholders. Only those shareholders owning less than 500 shares are affected. Based upon a market value of $0.35 (the closing price on the over-the-counter market on October 8, 2007), a shareholder owning 499 shares would receive $174.65, without paying a commission. This is an opportunity for shareholders with small holdings to obtain the value of the shares without payment of a commission, which would, in many cases, equal or exceed the value of the shares. For a relatively small amount of money, shareholders can also acquire additional shares to bring their holdings to 500 shares or greater. Entrx could choose to establish the record date when the market price of its stock was at the lowest price for the year, although the ability to predict such a time would be difficult and the market value is already relatively low.
 
Effect of the Reverse/Forward Split on Entrx

It is currently estimated that following the Reverse/Forward Split, Entrx will have approximately 900 common stock shareholders, approximately 60 of whom will be of record. Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 provides that the Company can terminate its registration under that Act upon the filing of a certificate with the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that it has less than 300 shareholders. Upon such termination, our obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including our obligations to file publicly available periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide our shareholders with proxy statements prior to shareholder meetings, would cease. We do not intend to terminate our registration under the Securities Exchange Act in the near future.

On September 26, 2007, there were 7,616,147 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The number of shares of authorized shares of Common Stock will not change as a result of the Reverse/Forward Split.. On the other hand, the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock will be reduced by the number of shares held by the Cashed-Out Shareholders immediately prior to the Reverse Split.

The total number of shares that will be cashed-out and the total cash to be paid by Entrx is unknown at this time; we estimate, however, that 360,000 shares may be cashed out. The cash-out price per share of Common Stock is also unknown at this time. However, by way of example, if the Reverse/Forward Split had been completed using October 10, 2007 as the Effective Date, the cash-out price per share of the Common Stock was approximately $0.34 (based upon the market price over the prior 20 trading days), then the cash payments that would have been paid to Cashed-Out Shareholders, including both registered and street name holders, would have been approximately $125,000. The actual amounts will depend on the number of Cashed-Out Shareholders on the Effective Date, which may vary from the number of such shareholders on September 1, 2007. Payment for the shares of cashed-out shareholders will come out of our cash reserves. All shares acquired will be held in treasury and eventually retired.

The par value of the Common Stock will remain at $.10 per share after the Reverse/Forward Split.

Stock Certificates

The Reverse/Forward Split will not affect any certificates representing shares of Common Stock held by registered shareholders owning 500 or more shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Reverse Split. Old certificates held by any of these shareholders will continue to evidence ownership of the same number of shares as is set forth on the face of the certificate.

Any Cashed-Out Shareholder with share certificates will receive a letter of transmittal after the Reverse/Forward Split is completed. These shareholders must complete and sign the letter of transmittal and return it with their stock certificate(s) to Entrx's transfer agent, American Stock Transfer, before they can receive cash payment for those shares.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

We have summarized below certain federal income tax consequences to Entrx and shareholders resulting from the Reverse/Forward Split. This summary is based on U.S. federal income tax law existing as of the date of this Proxy Statement, and such tax laws may change, even retroactively. This summary does not discuss all aspects of federal income taxation which may be important to you in light of your individual circumstances. Many shareholders (such as financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers, tax-exempt organizations, and foreign persons) may be subject to special tax rules. Other shareholders may also be subject to special tax rules, including but not limited to: shareholders who received Common Stock as compensation for services or pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option, or shareholders who have held, or will hold, stock as part of a straddle, hedging, or conversion transaction for federal income tax purposes. In addition, this summary does not discuss any state, local, foreign, or other tax considerations. This summary assumes that you are a U.S. citizen and have held, and will hold, your shares as capital assets under the Code. You should consult your tax advisor as to the particular federal, state, local, foreign, and other tax consequences, in light of your specific circumstances.

We believe that the Reverse/Forward Split will be treated as a tax-free "recapitalization" for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Reverse/Forward Split will not result in any material federal income tax consequences to Entrx.

Federal Income Tax Consequences to Shareholders Who Are Not Cashed Out by the Reverse/Forward Split:

If you (1) continue to hold Common Stock immediately after the Reverse/Forward Split, and (2) receive no cash as a result of the Reverse/Forward Split, you will not recognize any gain or loss in the Reverse/Forward Split and you will have the same adjusted tax basis and holding period in your Common Stock as you had in such stock immediately prior to the Reverse/Forward Split.

Federal Income Tax Consequences to Cashed-Out Shareholders:

If you receive cash as a result of the Reverse/Forward Split, your tax consequences will depend on whether, in addition to receiving cash, you or a person or entity related to you continues to hold Common Stock immediately after the Reverse/Forward Split, as explained below.

Shareholders Who Exchange All of Their Common Stock for Cash as a Result of the Reverse/Forward Splits

If you (1) receive cash in exchange for a fractional share as a result of the Reverse/Forward Split, (2) do not continue to hold any Common Stock immediately after the Reverse/Forward Split, and (3) are not related to any person or entity which holds Common Stock immediately after the Reverse/Forward Split, you will recognize capital gain or loss. The amount of capital gain or loss you recognize will equal the difference between the cash you receive for your cashed-out stock and your aggregate adjusted tax basis in such stock.

If you are related to a person or entity who continues to hold Common Stock immediately after the Reverse/Forward Split, you will recognize gain in the same manner as set forth in the previous paragraph, provided that your receipt of cash either (1) is "not essentially equivalent to a dividend," or (2) is a "substantially disproportionate redemption of stock," as described below.

 
o
"Not Essentially Equivalent to a Dividend." You will satisfy the "not essentially equivalent to a dividend" test if the reduction in your proportionate interest in Entrx resulting from the Reverse/Forward Split is considered a "meaningful reduction" given your particular facts and circumstances. The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that a small reduction by a minority shareholder whose relative stock interest is minimal and who exercises no control over the affairs of the corporation will meet this test. In consultation with your own tax advisor, you should determine whether that Internal Revenue Service ruling would, or would not, apply given your particular facts and circumstances.

 
o
"Substantially Disproportionate Redemption of Stock." The receipt of cash in the Reverse/Forward Split will be a "substantially disproportionate redemption of stock" for you if the percentage of the outstanding shares of Common Stock owned by you immediately after the Reverse/Forward Split is less than 80% of the percentage of shares of Common Stock owned by you immediately before the Reverse/Forward Split.
 
15

 
In applying these tests, you will be treated as owning shares actually or constructively owned by certain individuals and entities related to you. If the taxable amount is not treated as capital gain under any of the tests, it will be treated first as ordinary dividend income to the extent of your ratable share of Entrx's undistributed earnings and profits, then as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of your aggregate adjusted tax basis in your shares, and any remaining gain will be treated as capital gain.

Shareholders Who Both Receive Cash and Continue to Hold Common Stock Immediately After the Reverse/Forward Splits

If you both receive cash as a result of the Reverse/Forward Split and continue to hold Common Stock immediately after the Reverse/Forward Split, you generally will recognize gain, but not loss, in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess of the sum of aggregate fair market value of your shares of Common Stock plus the cash received over your adjusted tax basis in the shares, or (2) the amount of cash received in the Reverse/Forward Split. In determining whether you continue to hold Common Stock immediately after the Reverse/Forward Split, you will be treated as owning shares actually or constructively owned by certain individuals and entities related to you. Your aggregate adjusted tax basis in your shares of Common Stock held immediately after the Reverse/Forward Split will be equal to your aggregate adjusted tax basis in your shares of Common Stock held immediately prior to the Reverse/Forward Split, increased by any gain recognized in the Reverse/Forward Split, and decreased by the amount of cash received in the Reverse/Forward Split.

Any gain recognized in the Reverse/Forward Split will be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as capital gain, provided that your receipt of cash either (1) is "not essentially equivalent to a dividend" with respect to you, or (2) is a "substantially disproportionate redemption of stock" with respect to you. (Each of the terms in quotation marks in the previous sentence is discussed above under the heading "Shareholders who Exchange all of their Common Stock for Cash as a Result of the Reverse/Forward Split.") In applying these tests, you may possibly take into account sales of shares of Common Stock that occur substantially contemporaneously with the Reverse/Forward Split. If your gain is not treated as capital gain under any of these tests, the gain will be treated as ordinary dividend income to you to the extent of your ratable share of Entrx's undistributed earnings and profits, then as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of your aggregate adjusted tax basis in your shares, and any remaining gain will be treated as a capital gain.
 
The preceding summary was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding any tax penalties. It is intended to provide general information in support of the Board of Directors’ recommendation to effect the Reverse/Forward Stock Split. You should consult your tax advisor as to the particular federal, state, local, foreign, and other tax consequences of the Reverse/Forward Split, in light of your specific circumstances.

Appraisal Rights

Shareholders do not have appraisal rights under Delaware state law or under Entrx's Restated and Amended Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws in connection with the Reverse/Forward Split.

Reservation of Rights

We reserve the right to abandon the Reverse/Forward Split without further action by our shareholders at any time before the filing of the necessary amendments to Entrx's Restated and Amended Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State, even if the Reverse/Forward Split has been authorized by our shareholders at the Annual Meeting, and by voting in favor of the Reverse/Forward Split you are expressly also authorizing us to determine not to proceed with the Reverse/Forward Split if we should so decide.

The Board of Directors Recommends That You Vote for the Proposals to Amend the Restated and Amended Certificate of Incorporation of Entrx Corporation to Effect the Reverse/Forward Stock Split.

COMMITTEES OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has the authority and responsibilities set forth in Entrx’s Audit Committee Charter (the “Charter”) originally adopted in 2001 and amended in April 2004. A copy of the Charter is included as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement. Under the Charter, the Audit Committee has the authority and responsibility of (i) reviewing audited annual consolidated financial statements, and reports and consolidated financial statements submitted to any governmental body or disclosed to the public; (ii) consulting with Entrx's independent registered public accountants on various audit and financial personnel issues, including questions of independence, disagreement between the auditors and Entrx's financial personnel, reviewing of internal financial controls; (iii) recommending to the Board of Directors the engagement of independent registered public accountants to audit the consolidated financial statements of Entrx, and reviewing the performance of such accountants; (iv) reviewing and considering the appropriateness of accounting principles or practices applied to Entrx's consolidated financial statements; and (v) reviewing Entrx's financial personnel and organization. Kenneth W. Brimmer, a member of the Audit Committee, was designated as its financial expert. E. Thomas Welch, another member of the Audit Committee, has replaced Mr. Brimmer as the Audit Committee’s financial expert. Each member of the Audit Committee is independent as that term is defined in Rule 4200 of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The Audit Committee held four meetings during the year ended December 31, 2006.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee, which consists solely of non-employee directors, has the obligation to adopt policies applicable to the compensation of Entrx's executive officers, and has authority to consider and recommend to the Board of Directors the salaries, bonuses, share options, and other forms of compensation of those executive officers. The Compensation Committee did not hold any meetings during the year ended December 31, 2006, and the compensation of Entrx’s executive officers for 2006 was unchanged from 2005.

Nominating Committee. Entrx's Nominating Committee was initially established by resolution of the Board of Directors in February 2002. The Board of Directors expanded and revised the duties of the Nominating Committee by resolutions adopted in April 2004. The Nominating Committee is charged with the responsibility to seek out and consider the qualifications of new candidates and incumbents for election as members of our Board of Directors, and to recommend to the Board of Directors those persons it believes would be suitable candidates for election or, in the case of a vacancy, appointment, as members of our Board of Directors. The full Board of Directors nominates persons to be members of the Board of Directors, after considering the recommendation of the Nominating Committee. Each member of the Nominating Committee is independent, as that term is defined in Rule 4200 of the National Association of Security Dealers, Inc. The Nominating Committee has no charter, and did not meet in 2006, as there was no meeting of the shareholders held in that year.

The Nominating Committee met on two occasions by conference telephone, in June and then in August, to discuss and establish its recommendations for nominees for election to the Company’s Board of Directors, and recommended the re-election of Peter L. Hauser, Joseph M. Caldwell and E. Thomas Welch. Also recommended to be nominated for election as a director, was David E. Cleveland, who was introduced to the Nominating Committee by Mr. Welch. Mr. Cleveland was a former business associate of Mr. Welch. The Board of Directors adopted the recommendations of the Nominating Committee.

We have found it to be difficult to find suitable candidates who would be willing to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of a small company such as ours. We are looking for candidates with a good business background, preferably with some experience in starting or growing, and running a business. We would also favorably entertain a candidate with a good financial background, either as a chief financial officer or chief executive officer of another company, or by reason of education and experience in accounting. We would exclude any candidate who had any criminal record, or a background which exhibited any illegal or unethical activities, or questionable business practices.

Shareholders are encouraged to send the resumes of persons they believe would be suitable candidates to E. Thomas Welch, Entrx Corporation, 800 Nicollet Mall, Suite 2690, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402. Along with the resume of the proposed candidate, please have the candidate provide a written consent to serve as a member of our Board of Directors if so elected, or to acknowledge in writing that he or she would like to be considered for nomination.
 
17

 
Shareholders are further encouraged to submit the names of proposed candidates at any time throughout the year. We will not likely be able to consider any candidate submitted to us for inclusion in our proxy statement for the annual meeting to be held in 2008, after January 31, 2008.

Stock Option Committee. Entrx’s Stock Option Committee was established by resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors in September 2002. The Stock Option Committee, which consists solely of independent members, has the authority to grant options to purchase common stock of Entrx to employees and members of the Board of Directors. In granting options to non-executive officer employees, the Stock Option Committee generally considers the recommendation of management. In the past, the Stock Option Committee worked closely with, and considered the recommendations of, the Compensation Committee in cases involving the granting of stock options to executive officers of Entrx. The Stock Option Committee did not meet in 2006, and no options were granted in that year.

Director Compensation

In March 2002, the Board of Directors established a plan whereby each member of Entrx's Board of Directors would receive a stock option for 10,000 shares of Entrx's common stock in January of each year, at the then fair market value of the shares. In furtherance of such plan on January 3, 2005, the Stock Option Committee granted options to each of Kenneth W. Brimmer, E. Thomas Welch and Joseph M. Caldwell to purchase 10,000 shares of Entrx’s common stock at $0.55 per share, which was the fair market value of those shares as reported on the Nasdaq Market System as of that date. As an inducement to his joining the Board of Directors, we granted an option to E. Thomas Welch on January 3, 2005, to purchase 15,000 shares of Entrx common stock at $0.55 per share. All options are fully vested and were granted under Entrx’s 2000 Omnibus Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended in 2002, which plan and amendment were approved by Entrx’s shareholders.

In 2006, no options or purchase Entrx’s common stock were granted. On June 7, 2006, however, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 10,000 shares of Entrx’s common stock to each of its then four directors. On January 4, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of 20,000 shares of Entrx’s common stock to each of its then four directors. The price of Entrx’s common stock based upon transactions on the over-the-counter market on June 7, 2006, and January 4, 2007, was $0.16 and $0.20 per share, respectively.

Compensation Committee Report

As the Compensation Committee of Entrx Corporation (“Entrx”), it is our duty to review and recommend the compensation levels for members of Entrx's management, evaluate the performance of management and the administration of Entrx's various incentive plans.

In determining management's compensation, this Committee evaluates management’s performance, reflected in part by Entrx’s financial performance, the time devoted to their respective duties, their experience, and the stage of development of Entrx. The Committee also takes into account such relevant external factors as general economic conditions, stock price performance, and stock market prices generally.

Management compensation has historically been composed of salary, bonuses, and options to purchase shares of Entrx’s common stock. In the past, the Committee believed that stock options would provide a strong incentive to increase the value of stockholders' interests and help management focus on the long-term success of Entrx. Lately, however, as a result of the poor market performance exhibited by our common stock, and the reduced attractiveness of stock options in view of the limited liquidity of our common stock and certain new accounting rules, we have de-emphasized the use, and have not recommended the granting, of stock options.

Bonuses may be discretionary, or based upon an established plan. No bonuses were paid to the current executive officers in 2006.

Significant to the Committee's recommendations concerning executive compensation and option grants are significant events which have occurred over time as well as objectives set for the coming year. With regard to the year ended December 31, 2006, the Committee took into account the increase in Entrx’s liquidity and favorable operating results of its subsidiary, Metalclad Insulation Corporation, as well as disappointing overall operating results and performance of the market value of Entrx’s common stock in 2006.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

Loan to Affiliate of Wayne W. Mills

On December 10, 2001, Entrx loaned Blake Capital Partners, LLC (“Blake Capital”), a Minnesota limited liability company, $1,250,000 under a non-recourse secured note (the “Note”). Blake Capital is wholly owned by Wayne W. Mills who became a director and the President of Entrx on February 13, 2002. The Note, with interest at the rate of 6% per annum, was due June 10, 2002. Under the terms of the Note, Blake Capital had the right to extend the due date to September 8, 2002, which it did. After June 10, 2002, the interest rate increased to 12% per annum. The Note was not repaid on September 8, 2002, but was amended to establish a due date of October 31, 2007, as discussed below.

As security for the loan, Mr. Mills pledged 500,000 shares of Entrx's common stock, under the terms of a pledge agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) dated as of December 10, 2001. In October 2002, Entrx spun off shares of the common stock of Chiral Quest, Inc., now known as VioQuest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., as a dividend to its shareholders, on the basis of one share of VioQuest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (then Chiral Quest, Inc.) common stock for each two shares of Entrx common stock held as of October 11, 2002. Prior to the dividend, VioQuest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was a 90% owned subsidiary of Entrx. As a result of the dividend, Mr. Mills received 250,000 shares of the common stock of VioQuest Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which were added to the 500,000 shares of Entrx’s common stock held as collateral for the loan.

To satisfy its obligations under the Note, all or a portion of the 500,000 shares of Entrx common stock, or 250,000 shares of VioQuest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. common stock, could have been sold at the direction of Blake Capital, in which case the proceeds of such sale would have been applied against the principal and interest due under the Note. The terms of the Note also provided that Blake Capital could request that the Entrx shares be cancelled, in which case they would have carried a value of $2.50 per share which would be applied against the amount due under the Note, regardless of a then lower market value. If the Note was in default, Entrx could have canceled the shares at a value of $2.50 per share, and applied the amount cancelled against the principal and interest due under the Note. Although the Pledge Agreement was not clear, Entrx took the position that the $2.50 value related to one share of Entrx common stock and one half-share of VioQuest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. common stock.

Since the Note was non-recourse to Blake Capital, neither Blake Capital nor Mr. Mills had any personal liability under the Note, except for the interest on the Note, and Entrx's only recourse for repayment of the Note was the 500,000 shares of Entrx common stock, and 250,000 shares of VioQuest Pharmaceuticals, Inc. common stock, pledged as security. The market value of the stock held as collateral never exceeded the principal balance of the Note since it became due.

Modification of Loan to Affiliate of Wayne Mills

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was adopted on August 1, 2002, while the loan to Blake Capital Partners, as discussed in the foregoing section entitled “Loan to Affiliate of Wayne W. Mills,” was outstanding. Under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, it is unlawful for any company registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to make a personal loan to any directors or executive officers of that company. The provision also provides that a loan outstanding on the date of the enactment of Section 402 is not in violation of that provision, provided that there is no material modification to any terms of the loan after such enactment. The independent members of the Board of Directors, taking into consideration the purpose and policy of Section 402, have concluded that the prohibition against any modification to the loan to Mr. Mills would not be applicable where the modification was, in their reasonably exercised determination, on balance materially beneficial to Entrx.
 
22

 
Accordingly, for several months beginning in August 2003, the independent members of Entrx’s Board of Directors, negotiated an amendment to the Note and Pledge Agreement with Blake Capital Partners and Mr. Mills, which culminated in the execution of an amendment to the Note and Pledge Agreement (the “Amended Pledge Agreement”), which they believed to be beneficial to the Entrx. The Note as amended, is in the principal amount of $1,496,370, is with recourse to Blake Capital Partners, and now provides for an October 31, 2007 due date. Interest on the amended Note is at 2% over the prime rate established by Wells Fargo Bank, NA in Minneapolis, Minnesota, adjusted on March 1 and September 1 of each year, instead of the 12% rate established in the original Note. Interest only was payable commencing March 1, 2004, and at the end of each six-month period thereafter. The amended Note is with full recourse to Blake, which has minimal assets. The Amended Pledge Agreement does not require Entrx, nor permit Blake or Mr. Mills, to cancel the shares of Entrx’s common stock, and requires Entrx to apply the value of those cancelled shares at $2.50 per share, to be applied against the principal balance of the amounts due. In addition, Mr. Mills has personally guaranteed the repayment of the Note.

Default on Loan to Affiliate of Wayne Mills

Blake Capital failed to pay the interest due under the Note on September 1, 2006, and Mr. Mills has recently indicated to us that he is currently unable to fulfill his obligations under his guarantee of the Note. Accordingly, on January 4, 2007, consistent with authority given by the Board of Directors, we gave notice to Blake and Mr. Mills that we were declaring the New Note to be in default, and in February 2007, we commenced foreclosure proceedings on the 500,000 shares of the Company held as collateral for the New Notes. The 500,000 shares held as collateral were cancelled on April 23, 2007. We credited Blake Capital with the fair market value of those shares as of March 19, 2007. The Company had also agreed to permit Mr. Mills to sell the 250,000 shares of VioQuest common stock held as collateral, and to apply the proceeds of such sale to the amount due under the Note, but no shares have been sold under that agreement. We have since cancelled that agreement, and those shares continue to be held as collateral subject to the Amended Purchase Agreement. We intend to foreclose on those shares in the near future. At December 31, 2006, we increased our reserve against the Note, bringing the receivable less the reserve down to $210,000, representing the estimated fair value of the collateral held for the Note.

Reporting Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires executive officers and directors of Entrx, and persons who beneficially own more than 10 percent of Entrx's outstanding shares of common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of securities of Entrx with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Nasdaq Stock Market. Officers, directors and persons owning more than 10 percent of Entrx's outstanding common stock are required by SEC regulation to furnish Entrx with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed. Based solely on a review of the copies of such reports and amendments thereto furnished to or obtained by Entrx or written representations that no other reports were required, Entrx believes that during the year ended December 31, 2006, all filing requirements applicable to its directors, officers or beneficial owners of more than 10 percent of Entrx's outstanding shares of common stock were complied with, except that Kenneth W. Brimmer, a former director, filed a Form 5 on June 8, 2006, to reflect an option for 10,000 shares of Entrx’s common stock granted to him on January 3, 2005, and Joseph M. Caldwell, a director, filed a Form 5 on June 8, 2006, to reflect an option granted to him on each of January 3, 2005 and May 10, 2004.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The following Audit Committee report shall not be deemed to be soliciting material or to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 nor incorporated by reference into any document so filed.

The purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of management's conduct of the Company's financial reporting process. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management of the Company and Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Management is responsible for the Company's internal controls and the financial reporting process. Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

The Audit Committee discussed with Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP the matters required by Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards No. 61. The Audit Committee also received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and discussed with that firm its independence from the Company. The Audit Committee discussed with management of the Company and Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP such other matters and received such assurances as the Audit Committee deemed appropriate.

The Audit Committee considered the effect that provision of all other non-audit related fees may have on the independence of Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP. The Audit Committee has determined that provision of those services is compatible with maintaining the independence of Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP as the Company's principal accountants.

Based on the foregoing review and discussions and a review of the report of Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP, and relying thereon, the Audit Committee recommended the inclusion of the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Accountants

On April 16, 2002, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, Entrx engaged Virchow, Krause & Company, LLP (“Virchow Krause”), independent registered public accountants with offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to audit Entrx’s consolidated financial statements for 2002 and to perform other appropriate accounting services for Entrx as needed. Entrx had not previously engaged Virchow Krause on any matter. Virchow Krause was engaged directly by the Audit Committee to provide its services with respect to Entrx’s 2003 through 2006 fiscal years. All services performed by Virchow Krause in 2006 were approved by the Audit Committee.

A representative of Virchow Krause will be present at the Annual Meeting of the shareholders to be held on December 17, 2007, will have the opportunity to make a statement if the representative so desires, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Below is a breakdown of the fees paid to Virchow Krause for services performed in 2005 and 2006. None of the fees paid to Virchow Krause under the headings Audit-Related Fees or Tax Fees were attributable to work performed by persons other than full-time permanent employees of Virchow Krause.

Audit Fees

Virchow Krause billed Entrx $63,365 and $73,925 for the annual audit of Entrx’s consolidated financial statements, and the review of Entrx’s consolidated financial statements included in Entrx’s quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-QSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for the 2005 and 2006 fiscal years, respectively.

Audit-Related Fees

Virchow Krause billed Entrx $6,385 and $12,050 for assurance and related services provided to Entrx that are not included under the caption “Audit Fee” above, and were reasonably related to the performance of its audit or review of Entrx’s financial statements for the 2005 and 2006 fiscal years, respectively. Such services were provided in connection with the review of a Form S-2 registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in April 2004, and assisting management in preparing responses to SEC comment letters direct to us in connection with such filing. The registration statement was withdrawn in 2005.

All Other Fees

No other accounting services were provided or billed in 2005 or 2006.

Approval by Audit Committee

According to Entrx’s Audit Committee charter, all services provided to Entrx by its independent registered public accountants must be approved by the Audit Committee.
