Initial public offerings sold at $1 or less not included. Issues without underwriters not included. First aftermarket bid is approximate.

Offering data source: GOING PUBLIC: The IPO Reporter, 2 Penn Center Plaza, Suite 410, Philadelphia, PA 19102.

Correction: In the listings of June initial public offerings (September, page 152), INC. incorrectly quoted the first aftermarket bid of American Video Teleconferencing Corp. The comparative price should have been for AVID units (from O-T-C pink sheets), which came out at $2, not $1 as stated.
