Ableauctions Reports Third Quarter 2004 Results
Monday November 15, 8:01 am ET


FIFE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 2004--Ableauctions.com Inc. (AMEX:AAC - News; the "Company") today announced the results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, reflecting growth in what is traditionally a slow time for the Company's auction and liquidation business.
ADVERTISEMENT


The Company reported revenue of $1,293,110 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, compared to revenue of $170,101 during the same period in 2003, an increase of 660%. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, the Company reported revenue of $3,769,243, compared to $473,938 for the same period in 2003, an increase of 695%.

The Company posted a better picture for income from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, reporting income from operations of $82,590 before depreciation, amortization and loss from discontinued operations, compared to $52,994 during the same period in 2003, an increase of 55.8%.

The Company abandoned the computer resale operations of 652297 B.C. Ltd., doing business as ANO Office Automation (ANO), and took a one-time charge of $45,096 from discontinued operations as a result. The ANO operations, which were not related directly to the Company's primary line of business, were stagnant and had a negative impact on the Company's overall operations. The divestment of ANO enables Ableauctions to focus on its objective of becoming one of the leading auction and liquidation services companies in the world.

After depreciation, amortization and loss from discontinued operations, the Company reported net earnings of $11,383 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004, compared to $40,902 during the same period in 2003. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, the Company reported net earnings of $165,897 compared to $77,404 for the same period in 2003.

Shareholders' equity, defined as the value of the Company's assets minus its liabilities, also increased for the seventh consecutive quarter to $9,163,376 from $9,081,677 as of June 30, 2004.

Gross profits were $300,455 or approximately 23% of revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, compared to $118,865 or approximately 70% of revenues for the period ended September 30, 2003. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue reflects the performance of the liquidation services group, Unlimited Closeouts, Inc. and iTrustee.com, which operate on lower gross profit margins than our auction broadcasting services.
