Item 2.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include but are not limited to those discussed in the subsection entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this report. Our fiscal year end is December 31. All information presented herein is based on the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008.

ALLIED
 

Allied is an independent oil and natural gas producer involved in the exploration, development, production and sale of oil and gas derived from properties located in Calhoun and Ritchie Counties, West Virginia, and Goliad, Edwards and Jackson Counties, Texas.

Discussion and Analysis

Allied’s intends to utilize net cash flow from operations to purchase additional non-operated oil and gas producing properties, acquire available oil and gas leases as a licensed operator and implement improved production practices on existing wells. Our criteria for purchasing producing oil and gas properties is defined by short term returns on our investment, long term growth in cash flows, and potential for additional development. We are also focused on acquiring oil and gas leases with proven historical production that can translate into future revenue. The recent rise in energy prices has transformed many abandoned oil and gas leases into valuable prospects for revitalized production. Meanwhile we continue to focus on enhancing production from our existing inventory of wells.

West Virginia Well Information

Allied owns varying interests in a total of 145 wells in West Virginia on several leases held by an independent operator. Some leases contain multiple wells. All the wells in which we have an interest are situated on developed acreage spread over 3,400 acres in Ritchie and Calhoun Counties. Depth of the producing intervals varies from 1,730 ft to 5,472 ft. Allied believes that operating in West Virginia has certain advantages over other locations, including:
 

·

relatively inexpensive drilling and completion operations, and

·

the absence of poisonous gas often associated with oil and gas production.

Many of our wells are situated on the same leases and as such share production equipment in order to minimize lease operating costs.

Our working interest is defined as interest in oil and gas that includes responsibility for all drilling, developing, and operating costs varying from 18.75% to 75%. Our net revenue interest is defined as that portion of oil and gas production revenue after deduction of royalties, varying from 15.00% to 65.625%.

Return to Table of Contents

Texas Well Information

Allied owns varying interests in a total of 13 wells in Texas on four leases held by independent operators. All the wells in which we have an interest are situated on developed acreage spread over 2,510 acres in Goliad, Edwards and Jackson Counties. Depth of the producing intervals varies from 7,600 ft to 9,600 ft.

Our working interest is defined as interest in oil and gas that includes responsibility for all drilling, developing, and operating costs varying from 3.73% to 21%. Our net revenue interest is defined as that portion of oil and gas production revenue after deduction of royalties, varying from 2.68% to 12.75%.
 
Recent Acquisitions
 

·

Effective May 1, 2007 we acquired a non-operated 5.4221% working interest and net royalty interest of 3.9388%, in the Harper #2 well located within the Ramon Musquiz Survey, A-29, in Goliad, Texas. The Harper #2 well is operated by Hankey Oil Company of Houston, Texas and currently produces 1076 STBO and 30,402 MCFG per month from the Wilcox formation.

·

Effective August 1, 2007 we acquired a non-operated 5.4375% working interest and various net revenue interests ranging from 4.2275% to 4.2325% in ten properties located in Sections 24, 41, 42 and 46 of the CCSD & RGNG RR Co. Survey, Edwards County Texas. The properties are operated by Marshall & Winston, Inc. of Midland, Texas and currently produce 16 STBO and 37,320 MCFG per month in the Frances Hill (Penn Lower) field from the Canyon Sands formation.

·

Effective October 1, 2007 we acquired a non-operated 3.73% working interest and a 2.68% net revenue interest in the Williams #1 well located within the John Alley Survey, A-3, Jackson County, Texas. The Williams #1 well is operated by Magnum Producing, LP of Corpus Christi, Texas and currently produces 1290 STBO and 8,580 MCFG per month from the Wilcox formation.

·

Effective October 1, 2007 we acquired a non-operated 21% working interest and a 12.75% net revenue interest in the Brinkoeter #4 well located within the V. Ramos Survey, A-241, Goliad County, Texas. The Brinkoeter #4 well is operated by Marquee Corporation of Houston, Texas and currently produces 1,800 STBO and 600 MCFG per month from the Massive formation.

Allied’s business development strategy is prone to significant risks and uncertainties certain of which could have an immediate impact on its efforts to maintain a positive net cash flow and could deter the anticipated expansion of its business. Should we be unable to generate sufficient net cash flow from our existing well interests, Allied may be forced to sell assets or seek debt or equity financing, as alternatives to the cessation of operations. The success of such measures can in no way be assured.

Results of Operations

 

Allied’s financial condition, results of operations and the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties depends primarily upon the prices we receive for oil and natural gas production and the quantity of that production. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. This price volatility can immediately affect Allied’s available cash flow which can in turn impact the availability of net cash flow for capital expenditures. A drop in oil and natural gas prices could also incur a write down of the carrying value of our properties as can future decreases in production. Allied’s continued success will depend on oil and natural gas prices and production quantities. Since production leads to the depletion of oil and gas reserves, Allied’s ability to develop or acquire economically recoverable oil and gas reserves is vital to continued operations. Unless Allied continues to obtain additional reserves, declines in production will eventually lead to significant decreases in revenue in spite of oil and gas pricing.

 

During the six month period ended June 30, 2008 Allied was focused on overseeing the operation of our oil and gas assets by independent operators, evaluating opportunities for the development or acquisition of additional oil and gas assets and seeking out available oil and gas leases.

Gross Revenue

Gross revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 increased to $399,323 from $226,915 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 76%. Gross revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 increased to $693,152 from $390,292 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 78%. The increase in gross revenue in the current three and six month periods can be attributed both to the realization of gross revenue from recently acquired well interests in Texas and increases in the prices paid for energy. Gross production of oil for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 increased to 2,064 bbls from 369 bbls for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 459%. Gross production of gas for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 increased to 58,024 MCF from 55,388 MCF for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 5%. Average oil and natural gas prices realized increased on a daily basis to $59.35 per BOE over the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $40.69 per BOE on a daily basis over the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 46%.
 

Allied anticipates that gross revenue will continue to increase in the near term as pricing in July of 2008 reached a record high price for a barrel of oil but may diminish over the long term as energy prices fluctuate and efforts to increase production by development or acquisition may or may not be realized.

 

Net Income

Net income after provision for income taxes for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 was $127,002 as compared to net income after provision for income taxes of $52,309 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 143%. Net income after provision for income taxes for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 was $196,525 as compared to net income after provision for income taxes of $77,110 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 155%. The increase in net income in the current three and six month periods can be attributed to the increase in oil and gas revenues and production. Management expects that net income will continue to increase in near term future periods as revenues increase as the result of energy prices and new production.

 

Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 increased to $35,902 from $35,109 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 2%. General and administrative expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 increased to $89,269 from $73,491 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 21%. The increase in general administrative expenses in the three and six month periods can be primarily attributed to increases in accounting, consulting and professional fees. Allied anticipates that general and administrative expenses will remain relatively consistent over future periods.

Depletion expenses for the three month periods ended June 30, 2008, and June 30 were $29,869 and $10,375 respectively. Depletion expenses for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008, and June 30, 2007 were $58,745 and $20,154 respectively. Depletion expenses will continue to increase as our oil and gas assets age.

Return to Table of Contents

Direct production expenses for the three month periods ended June 30, 2008, and June 30, 2007 were $141,720 and $119,933 respectively, an increase of 18%. Direct production expenses for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were $254,311 and $212,963, an increase of 19%. Direct production expenses include the cost of maintaining the wells, severance taxes, miscellaneous expenses for soap, solvent, gasoline or electricity and expenses such as those incurred in swabbing, dozer work or rig time. The increase in direct production costs over the current three and six month periods can be attributed to those costs associated with the acquisition of new well interests in Texas. Allied expects that direct production expenses will continue to increase over future periods as the ages of our wells increase and we continue to acquire or develop new production.

 

Income Tax Expense

As of December 31, 2007 Allied has a net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards of approximately $2,892,000. Should substantial changes in our ownership occur there would be an annual limitation of the amount of NOL carry forward, which could be utilized. The ultimate realization of these carry forwards is due, in part, on the tax law in effect at the time and future events, which cannot be determined.

 

Impact of Inflation

Allied believes that inflation has had an effect on operations over the past three years in connection with production costs. Allied believes that it can offset inflationary increases in production costs by increasing revenue and improving operating efficiencies.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flow provided by operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 was $286,716 as compared to cash flow provided by operations of $69,074 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2007. The increase in cash flow provided by operations in the current period can be primarily attributed to the increase in net income, an increase in depletion and amortization and an increase in a deferred tax asset over the comparable prior period. Allied expects to increase cash flow provided by operations in future periods.
 

Cash flow used in investing activities for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 was $0 as compared to cash flow used in investing activities of $180,100 for the comparable period ended June 30, 2007. Allied expects to use cash flow in investing activities over future periods as the company evaluates existing wells, identifies exploration opportunities and considers additional acquisitions.

Cash flow from financing activities for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was $0. Allied does not expect to realize cash flow in financing activities in the near term.

Allied has a working capital surplus of $939,505 as of June 30, 2008 and has funded its cash needs since inception with revenues generated from operations, debt instruments and private equity placements. Existing working capital and anticipated cash flow are expected to be sufficient to fund operations in 2008.
 
Since earnings are reinvested in operations, cash dividends are not expected to be paid in the foreseeable future.
 

Allied had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements.
 

Commitments for future capital expenditures were not material at quarter-end.

Return to Table of Contents

Allied has no defined benefit plan or contractual commitments with any of its officers or directors.

Allied has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.

Allied has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 

As of June 30, 2007, Allied has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. In January 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, which provides supplemental implementation guidance for SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and instead generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards under SFAS No. 123R, consistent with that used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. We have elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123R and accordingly prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123R. The modified prospective transition method requires that stock-based compensation expense be recorded for all new and unvested stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan shares that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered beginning on January 1, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year 2006. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair-value as determined under the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123.

The Company has no outstanding stock options or related stock option expense as of June 30, 2008.

We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) in Issue No. 96-18. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by EITF 96-18.

As more fully discussed in Note 1 to the Financial Statements, Allied (i) follows the successful efforts method of accounting for the costs of its oil and gas properties, (ii) amortizes such costs using the units of production method and (iii) evaluates its proven properties for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. Adverse changes in conditions (primarily gas price declines) could result in permanent write-downs in the carrying value of oil and gas properties as well as non-cash charges to operations that would not affect cash flows.

Estimates of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves. An independent petroleum engineer annually estimates Allied’s proven reserves. Reserve engineering is a subjective process that is dependent upon the quality of available data and the interpretation thereof. In addition, subsequent physical and economic factors such as the results of drilling, testing, production and product prices may justify revision of such estimates. Therefore, actual quantities, production timing, and the value of reserves may differ substantially from estimates. A reduction in proved reserves would result in an increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense.

Estimates of Asset Retirement Obligations. In accordance with SFAS No 143, Allied makes estimates of future costs and the timing thereof in connection with recording its future obligations to plug and abandon wells. Estimated abandonment dates will be revised in the future based on changes to related economic lives, which vary with product prices and production costs. Estimated plugging costs may also be adjusted to reflect changing industry experience. Increases in operating costs and decreases in product prices would increase the estimated amount of the obligation and increase depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Cash flows would not be affected until costs to plug and abandon were actually incurred.

Critical Accounting Policies

In Note 1 to the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, included in our Form 10-K, Allied discusses those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and its financial position. Allied believes that the accounting principles utilized by it conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The preparation of financial statements requires Allied’s management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, Allied evaluates estimates. Allied bases its estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants.”
 
Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning in the first quarter of 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the SEC of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” We do not expect SFAS 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FSP 142-3 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4T.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this report on Form 10-Q/A, an evaluation was carried out by Allied’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of Allied’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on that evaluation, Allied’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that Allied’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the period ended June 30, 2008, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Allied’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS
 

Our future operating results are highly uncertain. Before deciding to invest in us or to maintain or increase your investment, you should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained in this quarterly report. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Allied’s Business

We have a history of significant operating losses, which losses may reoccur in the future.

Since our inception in 1979, our expenses have often exceeded our income, resulting in losses and an accumulated deficit of $6,172,255 at June 30, 2008. Although we have recorded a net income of $196,525 for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, we may return to operating losses in the future if revenues decline as the result of depleted oil and gas resources or price decreases, combined with the increased operating expenses that can be anticipated from aging wells. Our expectation of continued profitability depends on the sustainability of current energy prices and our ability to increase production through exploration, development or acquisition. Allied’s success in this continued endeavor can in no way be assured.

Oil and natural gas prices are volatile. Any substantial decrease in prices would adversely affect our financial results.

Allied’s future financial condition, results of operations and the carrying value of our oil and natural gas properties depend primarily upon the prices we receive for oil and natural gas production. Oil and natural gas prices historically have been volatile and are likely to continue to be volatile in the future. Allied’s cash flow from operations is highly dependent on the prices we receive for oil and natural gas. This price volatility also affects the amount of Allied’s cash flow available for capital expenditures and our ability to borrow money or raise additional capital. The prices for oil and natural gas are subject to a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. These factors include:

· the level of consumer demand for oil and natural gas;

· the domestic and foreign supply of oil and natural gas;

· the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls;

· the price of foreign oil and natural gas;

· domestic governmental regulations and taxes;

· the price and availability of alternative fuel sources;

· weather conditions;

· market uncertainty;

· political conditions or hostilities in energy producing regions, including the Middle East; and

· worldwide economic conditions.

These factors and the volatility of the energy markets generally make it extremely difficult to predict future oil and natural gas price movements with any certainty. Declines in oil and natural gas prices would not only reduce revenue, but could reduce the amount of oil and natural gas that Allied can produce economically and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and reserves. Should the oil and natural gas industry experience significant price declines, Allied may, among other things, be unable to meet our financial obligations or make planned expenditures.

Allied’s future performance depends on our ability to find or acquire additional oil or natural gas reserves.

Unless Allied successfully replaces the reserves that it produces, defined reserves will decline, resulting in a decrease in oil and natural gas production, that will produce lower revenues, in turn decreasing cash flows from operations. Allied has historically obtained the majority of its reserves through acquisition. The business of exploring for, developing or acquiring reserves is capital intensive. Allied may not be able to obtain the necessary capital to acquire additional oil or natural gas reserves if cash flows from operations are reduced, and access to external sources of capital is unavailable. Should Allied not make significant capital expenditures to increase reserves it will not be able to maintain current production rates and expenses will overtake revenue.
 

The results of our operations are wholly dependent on the production and maintenance efforts of independent operators.

The operation and maintenance of our oil and natural gas operations is wholly dependent on independent local operators. While the services provided by operators of our properties in the past have proven adequate for the successful operation of our oil and natural gas wells, the fact that we are dependent on operations of third parties to produce revenue from our assets could restrict our ability to continue generating a net profit on operations.

Risks Related to Allied’s Stock

The market for our stock is limited and our stock price may be volatile.

The market for our common stock is limited due to low trading volumes and the small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. The average daily trading volume for our stock has varied significantly from week to week and from month to month, and the trading volume often varies widely from day to day. Due to these limitations there is volatility in the market price and tradability of our stock, which may cause our shareholders difficulty in selling their shares in the market place.
 

Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be considered effective in the future, which could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and in turn have an adverse effect on our stock price.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal controls over financial reporting. Such report must contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of the year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal controls over financial reporting are effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting identified by management. If we are unable to continue to assert that our internal controls are effective, our shareholders could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

Allied does not pay dividends.

Allied does not pay dividends. We have not paid any dividends since inception and have no intention of paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends would be at the discretion of our board of directors and would depend on, among other things, future earnings, our operating and financial condition, our capital requirements, and general business conditions. Therefore, shareholders should not expect any type of cash flow from their investment.

Return to Table of Contents

Allied may require additional capital funding.

There can be no guarantee that we will not require additional funds, either through additional equity offerings or debt placements, in order to expand our operations. Such additional capital may result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, our ability to meet short-term and long-term financial commitments will depend on future cash. There can be no assurance that future income will generate sufficient funds to enable us to meet our financial commitments.
 

If the market price of our common stock declines as the selling security holders sell their stock, selling security holders or others may be encouraged to engage in short selling, depressing the market price.

The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling security holders sell material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales by the selling security holders or others. Short selling is the selling of a security that the seller does not own, or any sale that is completed by the delivery of a security borrowed by the seller. Short sellers assume that they will be able to buy the stock at a lower amount than the price at which they sold it short. Significant short selling of a company’s stock creates an incentive for market participants to reduce the value of that company’s common stock. If a significant market for short selling our common stock develops, the market price of our common stock could be significantly depressed.

Allied’s shareholders may face significant restrictions on their stock.

Allied’s stock differs from many stocks in that it is a “penny stock.” The Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks” including, but not limited to, those rules from the Securities Act as follows:
 

3a51-1     which defines penny stock as, generally speaking, those securities which are not listed on either NASDAQ or a national securities exchange and are priced under $5, excluding securities of issuers that have net tangible assets greater than $2 million if they have been in operation at least three years, greater than $5 million if in operation less than three years, or average revenue of at least $6 million for the last three years;

15g-1     which outlines transactions by broker/dealers which are exempt from 15g-2 through 15g-6 as those whose commissions from traders are lower than 5% total commissions;

15g-2      which details that brokers must disclose risks of penny stock on Schedule 15G;

15g-3      which details that broker/dealers must disclose quotes and other information relating to the penny stock market;

15g-4      which explains that compensation of broker/dealers must be disclosed;

15g-5      which explains that compensation of persons associated in connection with penny stock sales must be disclosed;

15g-6      which outlines that broker/dealers must send out monthly account statements; and

15g-9     which defines sales practice requirements.

 

Since Allied’s securities constitute a “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and our securities. Because these rules provide regulatory burdens upon broker-dealers, they may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in any market that may develop; the rules themselves may limit the market for penny stocks. Additionally, the market among dealers may not be active. Investors in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor. In some cases, the stock may fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Commission Release No. 34-29093 dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include:

·

control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

·

manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

·

“boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;

·

excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

·

the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
