(AMEX:AHI) announced today that it has filed with The American Stock Exchange ("Amex") a plan for Allied to regain compliance with Section 1003(d) of the Amex Company Guide. Allied submitted the plan to the Amex on December 6, 2004 in response to the Amex's letter, dated November 26, 2004, advising the Company that it is not in compliance with the Amex's continued listing standards as set forth in Sections 1003(a) and 1003(d) of the Amex Company Guide. Under the terms of the plan, Allied intends to complete and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 not later than January 6, 2005 in order to regain compliance with Section 1003(d) of the Amex Company Guide. The plan remains subject to acceptance by the Amex. In addition, if the plan is accepted by the Amex, Allied believes that the trading halt imposed by the Amex on Allied's common stock will be lifted upon the filing by Allied of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. In addition, Allied is continuing to develop a plan to regain compliance with Section 1003(a) of the Amex Company Guide regarding the level of the Company's shareholders' equity.
