July was yet another poor month for the AIM Casino with 1 new admission and 10 departures; the market has now shrunk to 638 companies getting close to the 629 companies it had at the end of 2001 when it was still a new and rapidly growing market. So far this year that makes a net loss of 47 companies with 11 admissions and 58 departures.
