Allied Healthcare International Inc. (NASDAQ: AHCI) (AIM: AHI) (http://www.alliedhealthcare.com), a leading provider of flexible healthcare staffing services in the United Kingdom, has issued financial results for its fiscal 2009 fourth quarter and year-end.

To provide investors with an increased understanding of the Company's business, Allied is providing a breakdown of its revenues, gross profits, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") costs and operating income at constant exchange rates using the comparable prior period weighted average exchange rate. Further, the discussions below as to the fiscal 2009 fourth quarter and year end comparative analysis with the prior year results also take into account constant exchange rates. In addition, as the Company's revenues and gross profits are generated in the United Kingdom, an analysis is included, within the management discussion below, of the last eight quarters' revenues and gross profits in pounds sterling to enable investors to fully understand the underlying trends over these periods without the effects of currency exchange rates. As noted in the reported numbers, recent fluctuations in foreign exchange rates have significantly impacted the Company's current period results.
