Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of Allied Healthcare 
International Inc. To Withdraw Its Common Stock, $.01 Par Value, From 
Listing and Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC; File No. 
1-11570

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'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) 
thereunder,\2\ to withdraw its Common Stock, $.01 par value 
(``Security''), from listing and registration on the American Stock 
Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(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 \3\ and shall not affect its obligation to be 
registered under section 12(g) of the Act.\4\

    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. \5\
