 BODY:    Responding to an earlier announcement from Damon Corp.,  Robert 
L. Rosen  of Nomad Partners L.P. stated, ''Damon's announced time-frame 
for the receipt and consideration of all proposals to acquire Damon is 
reasonable.

playing-field that does not favor one party over another.

interests of all Damon's stockholders, following the board meeting.''
