SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Centennial Technologies, Inc., Common Stock, $.01 
Par Value) File No. 1-12912

December 19, 1996.
    Centennial Technologies, Inc. (``Company'') has filed an 
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to 
withdraw the above specified security (``Security'') from listing and 
registration on the American Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, it has listed the Security with the New 
York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). In making the decision to 
withdraw the Security from listing on the Amex, the Company considered 
its anticipated listing on the NYSE, its continuing need to reduce its 
costs of doing business in the current competitive environment in which 
it operates, and the prohibitive cost of listing of the Security on 
both the Amex and the NYSE.
    Any interested person may, on or before January 13, 1997, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
exchange and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
