President's Message

During the past year we have again seen rapid changes within the futures industry, bringing new opportunities to ADM Investor Services and our clients. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange successfully completed the purchase of the Chicago Board of Trade and has combined the two entities into the newly created CME Group. This merged powerhouse will consolidate the existing trading floors into one location at the Chicago Board of Trade Building by early next year. At the same time, both Chicago and New York exchanges have seen a large shift away from open outcry to electronic order execution, with well over 50% of the total trading volume now executed electronically. In response, we have added several new trading platforms to our selection so our customers can gain the maximum benefit from this trend.

During the year we introduced our new Managed Money Program and initiated a comprehensive marketing campaign which includes advertising, an updated and expanded website, enhanced market research and new print material. ADMIS and its affiliated companies have recently expanded our global presence by opening an office in Mumbai, India. Our offices now include Chicago, New York, London, Hong Kong, Taipei, Kansas City and Minneapolis.

Our focus going forward remains the same - to provide the highest level of service possible to our Introducing Broker, commercial, institutional and retail customers through a team of individuals dedicated to meeting their changing needs. At ADMIS we pride ourselves on giving each client individual attention while providing them with the finest in market analysis, back office service and order execution. Our organization continues to grow stronger not only financially, but in the strength of our employees, our services and our technology.

We are committed to providing you, our valued customers, with the tools you need to succeed and I welcome your input on our services. Please feel free to contact me by email at rdodson@admis.com. I hope to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Richard W. Dodson
President
