DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-73039), as amended, and the related Registration Statement on Form S-3 MEF (File No. 333-84071) (the “Registration Statements”) of DUSA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“DUSA”), registering 2,217,608 shares of DUSA’s common stock, 64,673 warrants to purchase shares of DUSA’s common stock, and 337,500 options to purchase DUSA’s common stock.

As of November 8, 2012, DUSA, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (“Sun Pharma”) and Caraco Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). As of November 16, 2012, Sun Pharma assigned its rights under the Merger Agreement to Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Ltd. (“CPL”). On December 20, 2012, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into DUSA, with DUSA surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPL (the “Merger”).

As a result of the Merger, DUSA has terminated any offering of DUSA’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking made by DUSA in Part II of the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, DUSA hereby amends the Registration Statements to remove from registration all of such securities.
