February 27, 2004.

Allied Healthcare International Inc., a New York corporation (“Issuer”), has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder, to withdraw its Common Stock, $.01 par value (“Security”), from listing and registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (“Amex” or “Exchange”).

15 U.S.C. 78 l (d).

The Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Issuer unanimously approved a resolution on February 12, 2004 to withdraw the Issuer's Security from listing on the Amex and to list the Security on Nasdaq National Market System (“NMS”). The Board states that listing on the Nasdaq NMS would tend to increase both the visibility of the Issuer in the investing community and the liquidity of the market for the Issuer's Security. The Issuer states that the last day of trading its Security on Amex was February 20, 2004.

The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in the State of New York, in which it is incorporated, and with the Amex's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from listing and registration.

The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Securities from listing on the Amex and from registration under section 12(b) of the Act and shall not affect its obligation to be registered under section 12(g) of the Act.

15 U.S.C. 78 l (b).

15 U.S.C. 78 l (g).

Any interested person may, on or before March 23, 2004, submit by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the Amex and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors. All comment letters should refer to File No. 1-11570. The Commission, based on the information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a hearing on the matter.

For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated authority.

Jonathan G. Katz,

Secretary.
