(ASG) on CreditWatch with negative implications. The CreditWatch listing follows the company's failure to meet the deadline to make its audited 2007 annual and unaudited March-quarter financial statements available to lenders. We will continue to monitor management's progress toward meeting its financial disclosure requirements. "If ASG maintains its operating and leverage trends and has no material restatements or reclassifications, we would expect to affirm our ratings and assign a stable outlook," said Standard&amp;Poor's credit analyst Joseph Spence.</spcred:index_entry_excerpt><spcred:index_entry_primcountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primcountry><spcred:index_entry_primgics xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">45102010 451020 4510 45</spcred:index_entry_primgics><spcred:index_entry_primissuer xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Allen Systems Group Inc.</spcred:index_entry_primissuer><spcred:index_entry_primissuerid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">364977</spcred:index_entry_primissuerid><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primticker xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">2138484Z</spcred:index_entry_primticker><spcred:index_entry_reporttype xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">NEWS</spcred:index_entry_reporttype><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">GLOBISS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">CORP</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">High</spcred:index_entry_sector><category>Credit &amp; Investment Research</category><alacra:ip>S&amp;P Credit Research</alacra:ip></item><item><link>http://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/spcred/652482</link><guid isPermaLink="false">spcred/652482</guid><spcred:index_mode xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">norm</spcred:index_mode><description>The latest Research Update from S&amp;P</description><spcred:dataset xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">global</spcred:dataset><pubDate>6/5/2008 6:24:00 PM</pubDate><spcred:price xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">175</spcred:price><title>Research Update: Allen Systems Group Inc.
