FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Alliance Receives Nasdaq Delisting Notice
Alliance Delays Filing of Annual Report on Form 10-K to Resolve Accounting Question
SANTA CLARA, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—June 30, 2006— On June 30, 2006, Alliance Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: ALSC)(the “Company”) received a Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) Staff determination letter indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). That rule requires the Company to file with Nasdaq copies of all reports filed or required to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company received this letter because the Company has not filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 (the “Form 10-K”), pending the determination by the Company and its independent registered public accounting firm of whether certain assets of the Company, that were sold subsequent to March 31, 2006, should be classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2006. If such a classification is required, the Company will need to reflect this change in its financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and prior fiscal years, which would necessitate further review and procedures by the Company’s predecessor independent registered public accounting firm prior to filing the Form 10-K. The Company believes that resolution of this issue will not alter the Company’s financial results, but may impact their presentation.
The Nasdaq Staff determination letter stated that as a result of the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), the Company’s securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market at the opening of business on July 11, 2006, unless the Company requests a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Nasdaq Listing Panel”) in accordance with the Nasdaq rules to review the Staff determination on or before July 7, 2006 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The Company intends to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Panel to appeal the Nasdaq’s Staff determination. Requesting a hearing will stay the delisting until the Nasdaq Listing Panel has reached a decision and there can be no assurance that the Nasdaq Listing Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing.
