Allied's revenues for the quarter shrank to $213.3 million, compared to $218.2 million in the first quarter last year.

    Allied noted that it also made a $1.7 million after-tax gain on the early retirement of debt and a $550,000 after-tax gain on the sale of assets. In the first quarter of 2001, net losses included an after-tax charge of $3.2 million for severance and workforce reduction expenses.
