Bid to Stay on NASDAQ List: Bristol Research Corp., a Costa Mesa manufacturer of circuit boards, said it is not in compliance with minimum capital surplus requirements for listing on the National Assn. of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System. The company said it has applied for an exception from the listing requirements, which state that a company must have $750,000 in total assets and $375,000 in surplus capital. If the company’s request is not granted, it will be removed from NASDAQ listings. Steven Doehler, president of Bristol, said his company plans to make a pitch at its association hearing for continued listing based on its plan of financial recovery.
