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 month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009.

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 intends to continue to purchase non-operated oil and gas producing properties and acquire oil and gas leases that it can operate. Our criteria for purchasing oil and gas producing properties is defined by short term returns on investment, long term growth in revenue, and development potential, while our criteria for acquiring oil and gas leases is predicated on a proven record of historical production. The recent downturn in prices for energy has given rise to new opportunities to purchase interests in distressed oil and gas properties directly from banks and leasehold owners that might otherwise have been unavailable to us. Allied also believes that it can increase production and expand reserves by disposing of non-productive wells while improving the production capacity of existing wells.

Allied has also considered the prospect of future exploration of the virtually untapped Marcellus shale formation that underlies our oil and gas interests in West Virginia, particularly in Ritchie County. Drilling in Ritchie County has indicated successful rates of recovery and our own open hole well logs indicate the presence of a potentially productive Marcellus shale at a depth of 6,000 feet. Nonetheless, Allied has no immediate plans for exploratory drilling due to current state of prices paid for natural gas.

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.

8

Return to Table of Contents

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%.

Texas Well Information

Allied owns varying interests in a total of 13 wells in Texas on four leases managed by independent operators and an interest in a pipeline gathering system. 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%.
 

Allied’s business development strategy is prone to significant risks and uncertainties certain of which can have an immediate impact on its efforts to maintain positive net cash flow and deter future prospects of expanding operations. The recent downturn in the prices paid for oil and natural gas is one good example of uncertainties associated with the energy sector. Another example is the uncertainty associated with production volumes as older wells deplete over time. Allied can provide no assurance that current operations will continue to produce sufficient cash flows to maintain its business. Should Allied be unable to generate sufficient cash flow it may have to sell assets or seek debt or equity financing to continue operations.

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 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.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 Allied was focused on overseeing the operation of its 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.

Revenue

Revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 decreased to $194,628 from $324,317 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of 40%. Revenue for the nine month period September 30, 2009 decreased to $528,305 from $1,017,469 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of 48%. The decrease in revenue over the three and nine month comparative periods is due to a decline in the average selling price for oil and natural gas, and a decline in oil and natural production. The decrease in production can be attributed to both the natural depletion of natural resources over time and well failures over the current period. Allied encountered problems with three of its oil producing wells over the most recent nine month period.
 

Allied anticipates that revenue will continue to decrease in the near term with decreases in revenue and volatile pricing for oil and gas products.

Return to Table of Contents

Net Income/Losses

Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 was $7,105, as compared to net income of $84,002 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2008, a decrease of 92%. Net losses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 were $33,171, as compared to net income of $280,527 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2008. The transition to net losses over the nine month periods can be primarily attributed to decreases in oil and gas revenues in the current period.
 

Allied expects net losses to continue in the near term in line with continued decreases in revenue.

Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 increased to $47,687 from $44,674 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 7%. General and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 increased to $184,125 from $133,943 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 37%. The increase in general administrative expenses over the three and nine month periods can be primarily attributed to consulting fees and stock option expenses.
 
Allied expects that general and administrative expenses will remain relatively consistent over future periods.

Depletion expenses for the three month periods ended September 30, 2009, and 2008 were $31,143 and $28,182 respectively. Depletion expenses for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $184,125 and $133,943 respectively.

Production costs for the three month periods ended September 30, 2009, and September 30, 2008 were $108,391 and $129,111 respectively, a decrease of 16%. Production costs for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, and September 30, 2008 respectively were $318,710 and $383,422 respectively, a decrease of 17%. Production costs 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 decrease in production costs over the current three and nine month periods can be attributed to decreased production.
 

Allied expects that production expenses will increase over future periods as the ages of our wells increase so too does the cost of maintaining production from such wells.

 

Income Tax Expense

As of December 31, 2008 Allied has a net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards of approximately $2,433,000. 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2009 was $94,723 as compared to cash flow provided by operations of $466,276 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in cash flow provided by operations in the current period can be attributed to net losses as compared to net income in the prior period.
 

Allied expects that cash flow provided by operations will increase as we increase net income from operations.
 

Cash flow used in investing activities for the nine periods ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 was $0.
 

Allied expects to use cash flow in investing activities in future periods as it evaluates existing wells, identifies exploration opportunities and considers additional acquisitions.

Cash flow from financing activities for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 was $0.
 

Allied does not expect to realize cash flow from financing activities in the near term.

Allied has a working capital surplus of $1,206,214 as of September 30, 2009 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 over the remainder of 2009.
 
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 the end of the period.

Allied has adopted a stock option plan pursuant to which it can grant up to 750,000 options to purchase shares of its common stock to employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors of the Company on the terms and conditions set forth therein. As of September 30, 2009, 600,000 options had been granted.

Allied has entered into an agreement with its chief executive officer that provides for a five year term, effective July 1, 2008, that includes a monthly fee and participation in Allied’s stock option plan.

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 September 30, 2009, 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 are material to stockholders.

Stock-Based Compensation

Allied has adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 718, formerly 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.

Allied accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with ASC 505. 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 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 ASC 410, 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, 2008 and 2007, 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 September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued. The adoption of this update will have no material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. The guidance provided in this update is effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance. The adoption of this statement has had no material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162, which is codified in FASB ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC 105”). ASC 105 establishes the Codification as the source of authoritative GAAP in the United States (the “GAAP hierarchy”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Once the Codification is in effect, all of its content will carry the same level of authority and the GAAP hierarchy will be modified to include only two levels of GAAP, authoritative and non-authoritative. ASC 105 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 105 has had no material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“SFAS No. 167”), which amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities. The amendments significantly affect the overall consolidation analysis under FASB ASC 810, Consolidation and require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. SFAS No. 167 has not yet been codified and in accordance with ASC 105, remains authoritative guidance until such time that it is integrated in the FASB ASC. SFAS No. 167 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009, early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this update will have no material affect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In June, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”). This statement removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity Statement 140 and removes the exception from applying Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to qualifying special-purpose entities. SFAS No. 166 has not yet been codified and in accordance with ASC 105, remains authoritative guidance until such time that it is integrated in the FASB ASC. SFAS No. 166 is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009 and early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement will have no material affect on the financial statements. The adoption of this statement will have no material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

In May, 2009, FASB issued ASC 855 Subsequent Events which establishes principles and requirements for subsequent events. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 855, the Company currently evaluates subsequent events through the date the financial statements are available to be issued.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not required.

ITEM 4T.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


In connection with the preparation of this report on Form 10-Q, 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 September 30, 2009, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Allied’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 

None.

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 might lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Allied’s Business

We have a history of significant operating losses, which losses may continue to reoccur.


Since our inception in 1979, our expenses have often exceeded our income, resulting in losses and an accumulated deficit of $6,149,990 at September 30, 2009. We recorded a net loss
of $33,171 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 and may continue to realize net losses if revenues do not increase. Our expectation of an increase in revenue depends on higher energy prices and additional production from 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.

17

Return to Table of Contents

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.

We incur significant expenses as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which expenses may continue to negatively impact our financial performance.
 
We incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules implemented by the Commission, which control the corporate governance practices of public companies. Compliance with these laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
as discussed in the following risk factor, has substantially increased our expenses, including legal and accounting costs, and made some activities more time-consuming and costly. Further, expenses related to our compliance may increase in the future, as legislation affecting smaller reporting companies comes into effect that may negatively impact our financial performance to the point of having a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

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 has not paid dividends on its common stock since inception and has no present intention of paying 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. Shareholders should not expect any direct cash flow from maintaining their investment in Allied stock.

Allied may require additional capital funding.

Allied may require additional funds, either through additional equity offerings or debt placements, in order to expand its 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 may be defined as 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 may constitute a “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules, the rules may 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.
