      NEW YORK, NY, November 17, 2005 - Allied Healthcare International Inc.
(Nasdaq: AHCI), a leading provider of flexible healthcare staffing services in
the United Kingdom, announced results for its fiscal 2005 fourth quarter and
year ended September 30, 2005.

      Revenue for the year ended September 30, 2005 rose 8.0 percent to $351.2
million, compared with $325.3 million in fiscal 2004. Net income available to
common shareholders before one time charges for the year ended fiscal 2005
reached $20.2 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared with net income
available to common shareholders before one time charges of $11.3 million, or
$0.40 per diluted share last year, an increase of over 11 percent in earnings
per share. As detailed on the financial table attached, net income available to
common shareholders, after the one time charges, was $18.7 million, or $0.41 per
diluted share for fiscal 2005, compared with net income available to common
shareholders, after the one time charges, of $2.8 million or $0.10 per diluted
share last year.

       Revenue for the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2005, reached $84.3
million, compared with $84.7 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2004.
Net income available to common shareholders before one time charges for the
quarter ended September 30, 2005 reached $5.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted
share, compared with net income available to common shareholders before one time
charges of $6.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share for the comparable period in
fiscal 2004. Net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter
after the one time





charges was $4.2 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with a net loss
available to common shareholders after the one time charges of ($1.6) million or
($0.04) per diluted share in the fourth quarter last year.

      Selling, general and administration expenses for the year include $2.1
million relating to the reorganization of the Company's operations, rebranding
and launch of the new logo treated as exceptional costs on the attached chart.
In addition, these expenses also include a $1.9 million charge related to
Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance and increased IT depreciation and
maintenance costs of $1.2 million following the introduction of the Company's
new IT systems.

      Included in the results for both the fourth quarter and year-end of fiscal
2005 are the favorable effects of changes in foreign exchange.

      During the fourth quarter, the Company completed one acquisition of a
Social Services agency bringing total acquisitions for the year ended September
30, 2005 to nine. The initial consideration, excluding contingent payments, for
this acquisition was $3.2 million.

        Timothy M. Aitken, Chairman and CEO of Allied Healthcare, commented, "In
response to the change in the National Health Service (NHS) Framework
Agreements, we have consolidated the number of our flexible staffing companies
down to two brands: Allied Staffing Professionals and the Allied Healthcare
Group. Allied Staffing Professionals is a specialist subsidiary that has been
formed to manage high-volume business with lower margins and will deal with the
NHS under the new Framework Agreements. Our core brand, Allied Healthcare Group,
operates with higher margins and will focus on the remainder of the NHS that is
"off-Framework", nursing homes and homecare."

      Mr. Aitken concluded, "We will continue to focus specifically on homecare
and its development in the UK as well as maintaining strong margins for our
shareholders. This is reflected in the higher margins reported today."



                                                                               2




*Results exclude exceptional charges related to reorganization of the Company's
 operations, rebranding and launch of new corporate logo, per financial table
 attached.

      In addition to disclosing results of operations that are determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this press
release also discloses non-GAAP results of operations that exclude or include
certain charges. These non-GAAP measures adjust for charges that are unusual.
Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides
useful information to investors regarding the Company's results of operations,
as these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better evaluate ongoing business
performance. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures internally to assess
the performance of its business and to establish operational goals. Investors
should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for,
financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the
non-GAAP measures disclosed in this press release with the most comparable GAAP
measures are included in the financial tables attached to this press release.
