Allied Healthcare Reports Flat Second Quarter Net
Income
With Higher Material Costs Eroding Profits
     ST. LOUIS, February 7, 2007 — Allied Healthcare Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: AHPI) reported that its net income declined 7.6 percent to $293,000, or 4 cents per share, during its second quarter ending December 31, 2006, versus $317,000, or 4 cents per share, for the second quarter last year.
     Net income for the first two quarters of fiscal 2007 fell 36.8 percent to $495,000, or 6 cents per share, from $783,000, or 10 cents per share, for the first two quarters of the prior year.
     Higher material prices cost about $1 million in pretax profit for the first half of the fiscal year, or about 7 cents per share, compared to the previous year, according to Earl Refsland, president and chief executive officer. Higher prices for raw materials, particularly copper and brass, have eroded company margins for the last 18 months.
     Refsland said that Allied had not increased its prices as planned due to competition in some product lines. Higher material prices will be addressed with a combination of pricing guidelines based on market conditions and negotiations with suppliers, he said.

     Sales in the second quarter increased about 8 percent to $14.3 million from $13.3 million the previous year. For the first two quarters of fiscal 2007, sales increased only slightly.
     Allied Healthcare Products, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of respiratory care products, medical gas equipment and emergency medical products used in a wide range of hospital and alternate care settings.
