  • nature of a company's business;
  • market for its products;
  • reputation of its management;
  • historical record and pattern of growth;
  • financial integrity;
  • demonstrated earnings power; and
  • future outlook
  • Company's board of directors must agree to abide by the corporate governance requirements of AMEX.
