Item 3.01. NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING
On November 15, 2005, Alliance Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) received a Nasdaq Staff Determination Letter (the “Staff’s Determination”) stating that, due to its failure to timely file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 24, 2005, the Company has failed to comply with its filing requirements for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(C)(14) and that its common stock are therefore subject to a delisting from The Nasdaq National Market. Additionally, Nasdaq has indicated that the Company’s trading symbol will be changed from “ALSC” to “ALSCE” effective November 17, 2005 and the Company has been put on notice that its common stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq National Market at the open of business on November 25, 2005 unless the Company requests a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. The Company presently intends to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) to review the Staff’s Determination. Pending a decision by the Panel, the Company’s common stock will remain listed on The Nasdaq National Market. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or that the Company will regain compliance with its filing requirements in a timely manner.
As previously announced, the Company has incurred a loss of knowledge and experience with regard to its accounting policies and procedures, partially due to the continued turnover and lack of adequate internal staff in the accounting and finance department during the quarter ended September 24, 2005. The lapse in accounting policies and procedures coupled with attrition have increased the amount of time required to perform the control procedures and develop the required financial information that is included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 24, 2005. Additionally, the Company has continued to work to verify certain financial results reported by a company in which Alliance Ventures Management (“AVM”) owns greater than 20 percent and holds a Board seat. To date, the Company has not been able to complete the preparation of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 24, 2005. However, Alliance has been diligently working to complete this process and will file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 24, 2005 as soon as possible.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
