Reference is made to the Notice of Default dated December 29, 2005.

OTTAWA, Jan. 13 /CNW Telbec/ - Allen-Vanguard Corporation wishes to
update its shareholders and other stakeholders in compliance with its
obligations to the Ontario Securities Commission ("OSC") under OSC Policy   
57-603.
As a result of Allen-Vanguard Corporation failing to file its annual
audited financial statements and related management discussion and analysis
and annual information form for the year ended September 30, 2005 in a timely
manner, the OSC issued a temporary management cease trade order ("MCTO") on
January 4, 2006 pursuant to OSC Policy 57-603. An MCTO is part of a voluntary
process whereby specific insiders and management of Allen-Vanguard Corporation
are subject to a cease trade order that prohibits them from trading in
securities of Allen-Vanguard Corporation. The MCTO will continue to be in
effect until such time as the financial statements are filed.
Allen-Vanguard Corporation hereby discloses that there are no material
changes in the information contained in the Notice of Default, it has not
failed to fulfill its stated intentions in the Notice of Default, there are no
defaults or anticipated defaults on the financial statement filing requirement
subsequent to that disclosed in the Notice of Default, and there is no other
material information concerning the affairs of Allen-Vanguard Corporation that
has not been generally disclosed (however, as contemplated in its press
release disseminated on December 29, 2005, Allen-Vanguard Corporation expects
in the coming weeks to disclose more detailed information in respect of the
licensing and joint development agreement referred to in that press release).
Allen-Vanguard Corporation is currently working with its auditors to
complete the audit of the financial statements and expects to file its audited
annual financial statements and related forms for the year ended September 30,
2005 by the end of January 2006.
