we believe our AMEX listing will positively impact these significant
interests. We look forward to another year of record earnings growth
together with our institutional and individual shareholders."

largest specialist firm on the AMEX, as its specialist.
Bodisen has recently announced plans for a dual listing on the

bank Charles Stanley, with Deloitte & Touche as Bodisen's
