and Registration; (Bogen Communications International, Inc., Common 
Stock, $.001 Par Value; Redeemable Warrants to Purchase One Share of 
Common Stock)

September 4, 1998.
    Bogen Communications International, 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-(d) promulgated thereunder, to 
withdraw the above specified securities (``Securities'') from listing 
and registration on the American Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'' or 
``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Securities 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Company's Common Stock began trading on the National Market 
System of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (``Nasdaq NMS'') at the opening 
of business on August 5, 1998, and concurrently therewith, the 
Securities were suspended from trading on the Amex.\1\ The Company 
seeks to withdraw the Securities from listing on the Amex because it 
believes that there will be increased liquidity by listing the 
Securities on the Nasdaq NMS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Company's Securities, Common Stock and Warrants, are 
listed on the Nasdaq. Telephone conversation between Thomas R. 
Weinberger, McDermott, Will & Emery, and Terri L. Evans, Attorney, 
Division of Market Regulation, Commission, on August 27, 1998.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Company has complied with Rule 18 of the Amex by providing the 
Amex with a certified copy of the Unanimous Written Consent of the 
Executive Committee on the Board of Directors of the Company 
authorizing the withdrawal of its Securities from listing on the Amex.
    The Exchange has informed the Company that it has no objection to 
the

withdrawal of the Company's Securities from listing on the Amex.
    This application relates solely to the withdrawal from listing of 
the Company's Securities from Amex and has no effect upon the continued 
listing of the Company's Securities on the Nasdaq NMS.
    By reason of Section 12(g) of the Act, as amended, and the rules 
and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, the Company 
shall continue to be obligated to file reports under Section 13 of the 
Act.
    Any interested person may, on or before September 28, 1998, 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.
