“This is the second IPO this year in which we have represented the underwriter and sole-book-running manager, Chardan.  The IPO market had been moribund for a number of years, but there has recently been a significant increase in the number of planned IPO’s of size filed with the SEC. This is seen as a good sign for the expansion of the U.S economy,” stated William R. Samuels.
