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 nine month periods ended September 30, 2012.
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
General
Allied intends to utilize available cash to acquire additional oil and gas producing properties and to
implement improved production practices on existing wells to increase production and expand reserves
where practicable. Allied believes that it can achieve production growth while expanding reserves through
improved exploitation of its existing inventory of wells by disposing of non-productive wells and
enhancing producing wells. An evaluation for this objective of our existing portfolio of oil and gas
properties is constantly under consideration. Allied also intends to continue to expand non-operated and
initiate operated acquisitions of additional oil or gas producing properties.
Recovery from producing wells is consistently evaluated to consider cost-efficient work-over methods
designed to improve the performance of the wells. When considering the drilling of new wells, we
conduct a geological review of the prospective area, in cooperation with our independent operator, to
determine the potential for oil and gas. Our own consultants then review available geophysical data
(generally seismic and gravity data) opine as to the prospect for success. In the event that our evaluation
of available geophysical data indicates that the target has significant accumulations of oil and gas, we
then consider the economic feasibility of drilling. The presence of oil and gas for any specific target
cannot guarantee economic recovery. Production depends on many factors including drilling and
completion costs, the distance to pipelines and pipeline pressure, current energy prices, accessibility to the
site, and whether the project is developmental or solely a wildcat prospect.
Allied’s business development strategy is prone to significant risks and uncertainties, certain of which can
have an immediate impact on its efforts to realize positive net cash flow and deter future prospects of
production growth. Historically Allied has not been able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations
to sustain operations and fund necessary exploration or development costs. Therefore, there can be no
assurance that the wells currently producing will provide sufficient cash flows to continue to sustain
operations. Should Allied be unable to continue to generate sufficient cash flow from existing properties,
Allied may have to sell certain properties or interests in such properties or seek financing through
alternative sources such as the sale of its common stock.
8
Allied’s financial condition, results of operations and the carrying value of its oil and natural gas
properties depends primarily upon the prices it receives 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 future 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 a decrease
in production. Allied’s future success will depend on the level of oil and natural gas prices and the
quantity of its production. Since production leads to the depletion of oil and gas reserves, Allied’s ability
to develop or acquire additional economically recoverable oil and gas reserves is vital to its future
success. Unless Allied can obtain additional reserves, current production will decline, which will lead to a
significant reduction in revenue.
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. 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%.
Texas Well Information
Allied owns varying interests in a total of 10 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%.
Over the nine months ended September 30, 2012 two of our natural gas wells in Edwards County, Texas
were plugged and abandoned due to declining production that resulted in uneconomic commercial
recovery from these wells.
Exploration, Development and Operations
Allied intends to continue to purchase non-operated oil and gas producing properties, acquire oil and gas
leases that it will operate and implement improved production efficiencies on existing wells. 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 and our own capacity to operate any given field.
The decrease in natural gas prices has done little to increase the number of opportunities available to us
due to our relatively limited cash position and the uncertainty associated with natural gas prices in the
future. We do however continue to seek out prospective oil and gas properties that meet our acquisition
criteria for a price that is consistent with competing forecasts for energy prices going forward into an
unsettled market.
9
We are further considering future prospects for exploration of the virtually untapped Marcellus and Utica
shale formations that underlie Allied’s oil and gas interests in West Virginia, particularly in Ritchie
County. The Marcellus and Utica shale structures have formed under much of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New
York, West Virginia and adjacent states to become a prospectively major reservoir for natural gas
recovery. Drilling by other operators in Ritchie County has indicated successful rates of recovery and our
own open hole well logs indicate the presence of potentially productive Marcellus shale at a depth of
6,000 feet. However, since exploration of the Marcellus and Utica shale in our area is relatively recent no
natural gas reserves underlying our interests have been determined. Our future plans for exploring the
Marcellus and Utica shales are further tempered by the high risk/reward ratio of exploratory drilling in the
near term based on anticipated pricing for natural gas over the next twelve to eighteen months.
Results of Operations
During the period from January 1, 2012 through September 30, 2012, Allied was engaged in evaluating
acquisition opportunities in Yoakum County, Texas, examining the operating efficiencies of existing
wells, overseeing the operation of its oil and gas assets by independent operators and seeking to acquire
oil and gas producing assets. The operation and maintenance of Allied’s oil and gas operations is wholly
dependent on the services provided by five different independent operators. While the services provided
by these operators have proven adequate, the fact that Allied is dependent on the operations of third
parties to maintain its operations and produce revenue does impact its own ability to realize a net profit.
For the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012 Allied realized a net loss due primarily to a decrease in
revenues over that period. Allied believes that the immediate key to its ability to maintain profitability is
that oil and gas prices rise and production increases. Meanwhile, general and administrative expenses and
production costs are constantly evaluated to guard against increases while we continue to seek out
revenue producing acquisitions. Should oil and gas prices rise, production increase and expenses remain
relatively consistent, Allied believes that it will be able to maintain net profits in future periods.

Revenue
Revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 decreased to $144,582 from $161,761 for
the comparable period ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of 11%. Revenue for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2012 increased to $434,432 from $432,079 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2011, an increase of 1%. The revenue decrease over the comparable three month periods is
due to a decrease in oil prices in the current three month period over the prior three month period. The
revenue increase over the comparative nine month periods can be attributed to the increase in production
despite the decrease in oil prices in the current nine month period over the prior nine month period. Allied
believes that revenue will continue to decline unless oil and gas prices increase over future periods.
Net Losses
Net losses for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 increased to $22,047 as compared to net
losses of $7,798 for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, an increase of 183%. Net losses
for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 were $71,038 as compared to net losses of $60,387
for the nine months period ended September 30, 2011, an increase of 18%. Net losses in the current three
and nine month periods can be attributed to a decrease in energy prices over the comparative periods
offset by the increase in energy production. Allied expects to return to net income in future periods
subject to the constant pricing volatility for oil and gas products in the marketplace.
Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 decreased to
$51,275 from $56,962 for the comparable three month period ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of
10%. General and administrative services for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 decreased
to $180,920 from $184,340 for the comparable nine month period ended September 30, 2011, a decrease
of 2%. The decrease in general administrative expenses over the comparable three and nine month periods
can be primarily attributed to administrative operating efficiencies. Allied expects that general and
administrative expenses will remain relatively consistent in future periods.
Depletion expenses for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012, and September 30, 2011 were
$27,226 and $24,871 respectively. Depletion expenses for the nine month periods ended September 30,
2012 and September 30, 2011 were $76,317 and $71,733. Depletion expenses will continue to increase in
relation to the aging of existing oil and gas assets.
Production costs for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012, and September 30, 2011 were
$89,142 and $94,297 respectively. Production costs for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012
were $251,812 and $274,780 respectively, a decrease of 8%. 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 nine month periods can be attributed to decreased work over costs associated with
producing wells in the period. Allied expects that production costs will continue to fluctuate over future
periods as existing wells age and require more vigorous maintenance to continue to produce.
11
Income Tax Expense
As of December 31, 2011 Allied has a net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards of approximately
$2,219,000. 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. During the
year ended December 31, 2011 a valuation allowance was recorded against this net operating loss carried
forward.
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.
Capital Expenditures
Allied made no capital expenditures on property or equipment for the nine months ended September 30,
2012 or 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Allied had a working capital surplus of $1,388,765 as of September 30, 2012 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 next twelve months.
Current assets as of September 30, 2012 were $1,411,335 which consisted of $1,345,668 in cash and
$65,667 in accounts receivable. Total assets were $2,840,463 which consisted of current assets, proven oil
and gas properties of $724,427 and deposits of $704,701.
Current liabilities as of September 30, 2012 were $22,570 which consisted of accounts payable. Total
liabilities were $223,134 which consisted of current liabilities and an asset retirement obligation of
$200,564.
Stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2012 was $2,617,329.
Cash flow provided by operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was $49,767 as
compared to cash flow used in operations of $9,402 for the comparable nine month period ended
September 30, 2011. The change in cash flow provided by operations in the current nine month period
can be attributed to the increase in depletion and amortization, and the increase in accounts payable offset
by the decrease in accounts receivable and the increase in accounts payable. Allied expects to continue
realize cash flow provided by operations as net losses decrease.
Cash flow used in investing activities for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and
September 30, 2011 was $0. Allied expects to use cash flow in investing activities over future periods as
the it evaluates existing wells, identifies exploration opportunities and considers additional acquisitions.
Cash flow from financing activities for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September
30, 2011 was $0. Allied does not expect to realize cash flow from financing activities in the near term.
12
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 on the terms and
conditions set forth therein. As of September 30, 2012, 600,000 options have been granted of which
480,000 had vested.
Allied has no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements in place.
Allied had no commitments for future capital expenditures that were material at September 30, 2012.
Allied has no defined benefit plan or contractual commitment with any of its officers or directors except
each members participation in our stock option plan and a consulting agreement with its sole executive
officer that provides for a monthly fee and participation in our 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.
Allied does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2012, 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.

We wish to caution readers that our operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that
could cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated including the factors
set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this report. We also wish to advise
readers not to place any undue reliance on the forward looking statements contained in this report, which
reflect our beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update
or revise these forward looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances or any changes in our
beliefs or expectations, other that is required by law.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Accounting for Oil and Gas Property Costs. 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, 2011 and 2010, 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 December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards
Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which will require
disclosures for entities with financial instruments and derivatives that are either offset on the balance
sheet in accordance with ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45, or are subject to a master netting
arrangement. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January
1, 2013. Allied is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2011-11 on its financial
position, results of operations, and disclosures.
Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future
effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the financial statements of
Allied.

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 chief financial officer, of the
effectiveness of Allied’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of 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 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, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to
management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosures.
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, 2012, 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 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 reoccur in the future.
Since our inception in 1979, our expenses have often exceeded our income, resulting in losses and an
accumulated deficit of $7,204,771 at December 31, 2011 which had increased to $7,275,809 at September
30, 2012. We recorded a net loss of $22,047 for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 and
may continue to realize future net losses if revenues do not increase. Our expectation of profitability
depends on higher energy prices and increased 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.
16
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 its 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 continue to exceed revenue.
Climate change legislation or regulations restricting emissions of “greenhouse gases” could result in
increased operating costs and reduced demand for the oil and natural gas that we produce.
On December 15, 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) officially published its
findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other “greenhouse gases” present an
endangerment to human health and the environment because emissions of such gases are contributing to
warming of the Earth’s atmosphere and other climatic changes. These findings by the EPA allow the
agency to proceed with the adoption and implementation of regulations that would restrict emissions of
greenhouse gases under existing provisions of the federal Clean Air Act. In late September 2009, the EPA
had proposed two sets of regulations in anticipation of finalizing its findings that would require a
reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases from motor vehicles and that could also lead to the imposition
of greenhouse gas emission limitations in Clean Air Act permits for certain stationary sources. In
addition, on September 22, 2009, the EPA issued a final rule requiring the reporting of greenhouse gas
emissions from specified large greenhouse gas emission sources in the United States beginning in 2011
for emissions occurring in 2010. The adoption and implementation of any regulations over greenhouse
gases could require us to incur costs to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases associated with our
operations or could adversely affect demand for the oil and natural gas that we produce.
17
On June 26, 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the “American Clean Energy and Security
Act of 2009,” or “ACESA,” which would establish an economy-wide cap-and-trade program to reduce
U.S. emissions of greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide and methane. ACESA would require a 17%
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 2005 levels by 2020 and just over an 80% reduction of such
emissions by 2050. Under this legislation, the EPA would issue a capped and steadily declining number
of tradable emissions allowances to certain major sources of greenhouse gas emissions so that such
sources could continue to emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These allowances would be
expected to escalate significantly in cost over time. The net effect of ACESA will be to impose increasing
costs on the combustion of carbon-based fuels such as oil, refined petroleum products, and natural gas.
The U.S. Senate has begun work on its own legislation for restricting domestic greenhouse gas emissions
and the President Obama Administration has indicated its support of legislation to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions through an emission allowance system. Although it is not possible at this time to predict when
the Senate may act on climate change legislation or how any bill passed by the Senate would be
reconciled with ACESA, any future federal laws or implementing regulations that may be adopted to
address greenhouse gas emissions could adversely affect demand for the oil and natural gas that we
produce.
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 the Company’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.
18
Allied has not paid dividends to the shareholders of its common stock.
Allied has not paid any dividends to the shareholders of its common stock and has no 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.
Allied may require additional capital funding.
Allied may 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 common stock is currently deemed to be “penny stock”, which makes it more difficult for
investors to sell their shares.
Allied’s common stock is and will be subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of
the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the
NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or
that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for
three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to
persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of
investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a
risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided
not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number
of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If Allied remains subject to
the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for
Allied’s securities. If Allied’s securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more
difficult to dispose of Allied’s securities.
