FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Alliance Semiconductor Announces Nasdaq Delisting

SANTA CLARA, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—September 12, 2006— On September 11, 2006, Alliance Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) received notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) that the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel has determined to delist the Company’s securities and accordingly, will suspend trading of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq at the open of business on September 13, 2006. This action was a result of a Nasdaq panel’s agreement with a previous Nasdaq staff determination that the Company is no longer engaged in active business operations and is therefore a “public shell,” which in Nasdaq’s estimation raises public interest concerns under Marketplace Rule 4300.

The Company expects that its modified Dutch auction tender offer, which commenced on August 25, 2006 and is scheduled to expire on September 22, 2006, will not be affected by the delisting of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq. As explained in tender offer materials sent to investors and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 25, 2006, the Company intends to spend up to $30 million to repurchase up to 10,909,090 shares of common stock, or up to 30.7% of the outstanding shares, at a price per share not greater than $3.00 and not less than $2.75. Stockholders are encouraged to read the Offer to Purchase and related materials, which explain the terms and conditions of the tender offer and provide instructions for tendering shares. These materials are available without charge from the Company’s website at www.alsc.com and from the Commission’s internet address at http://www.sec.gov.

The Company has received assurances that several market makers intend to file applications with the National Association of Securities Dealers to quote the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. Quotations for the Company’s common stock are also expected to appear in the “Pink Sheets” under the trading symbol “ALSC.” The Company will disclose further trading venue information for its common stock when such information becomes available.
