<p><b>Item 7. Financial Statements and exhibits. </b></p>

<p>On January 17, 2003, Fahnestock Viner Holdings Inc. (the
&quot;Company&quot;) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the
&quot;January 17th 8-K&quot;), reporting the acquisition of
certain assets of the U.S Private Client Division (the
&quot;Private Client Division&quot;) of CIBC World Markets, Corp.
(&quot;World Markets&quot;), a subsidiary of Canadian Imperial
Bank of Commerce (&quot;CIBC&quot;), and the agreement to acquire
certain assets of the U.S. Asset Management Division (the
&quot;Asset Management Division&quot; and together with the
Private Client Division, the &quot;Purchased Divisions&quot;) of
World Markets at a later date. </p>

<p>As permitted by Item 7 of Form 8-K, the January 17th 8-K
omitted the historical audited financial statements of the
Purchased Divisions and related pro forma financial information,
and indicated that such financial information would be provided
within 60 days of such filing; in this case, by March 18, 2003.
The Company now expects to file unaudited financial statements
and pro forma financial information with regard to the Purchased
Divisions by no later than May 19, 2003, and, if so required by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, audited financial
statements with respect to the Purchased Divisions by no later
than July 18, 2003. </p>

<p>The delay in preparing the financial statements and related
pro forma financial information is a result of (i) the size and
complex nature of the Purchased Divisions, (ii) the fact that
since the Purchased Divisions were operated as divisions within
World Markets, no separate financial statements had ever been
prepared, and therefore, a large part of the financial records of
the Purchased Divisions needs to be created, and (iii) the fact
that CIBC&#146;s auditor for fiscal years 2000 and 2001 was
Arthur Andersen LLP, making a carve-out audit more difficult and
expensive. </p>

1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on
its behalf by the undersigned hereto duly authorized.</p>
