AMI Research Opens Office In New York's Chrysler Building; Equity Research Firm Focused on Microcap Stocks

New York City – March 9, 2009 -- AMI Research, (http://www.amistockreports.com) a leading provider of equity research reports and a division of IR Firm, Hawk Associates Inc., announced today the opening of its New York City office in the Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue.

Peter J. D’Agostino, president, said, “It is an exciting time for us at AMI and Hawk.  We’re undergoing a period of expansion as we continue to build our brand. Now with a prominent NYC presence, AMI is more competitive with other independent small cap and microcap equity research shops, as we are now more accessible to management teams and institutional investors. This is an opportune time to expand into the New York market, as the faltering global economy has left many microcap companies undiscovered and without equity research analyst coverage. AMI provides analysis, financial models and research coverage for deserving companies that have financial futures worthy of investor attention. Equity research is the most effective way for small companies to explain their business models to investors. Also, we are widening our historical distribution niche to reach new audiences through appropriate channels that will reach a maximum number of investors.”

Building on AMI Research’s credibility with the institutional small cap community, D’Agostino intends to restructure and enhance AMI Research’s product platform and increase its distribution channels, which is broadly distributed through financial channels including Reuters, Investars, Research Connect and Thomson Investors Network.
