It is expected to commence trading on the Amex under the symbol ‘BTN’ on Friday, 24th September, 2004.

   John P. Wilmers, president and chief executive officer of Ballantyne, commented: "We are pleased to return home to the Amex where our shares first listed after the company's initial public offering in 1995. Listing on the Amex marks another important milestone for Ballantyne, as it acknowledges the company's financial accomplishments over the past 18 months and excellent future prospects, as well as the leadership position it maintains in the commercial motion picture projection equipment industry. We anticipate the listing will also increase our corporate visibility, provide enhanced liquidity for our shareholders and make it easier for prospective retail and institutional investors to purchase our common stock."
