OML-TSX Venture Exchange
CERRITOS, CA, Aug. 23 /CNW/ - Omni-Lite Industries Canada Inc. is pleased
to report revenues of $1,934,388 ($2,376,783 CDN), a 26% increase over the
corresponding period in 2004. Sales in the Aerospace division were the
strongest in the first half of 2005 representing 36% of revenues, up 108% over
the same period in 2004. The growth in the Aerospace division reflects the
increased demand for Omni-Lite's components. The favorable growth rates were
offset by reductions of revenue in the Military and Automotive divisions of 8%
and 13%, respectively. In the Military division, sales represent 24% of
revenue and are expected to grow in the second half of 2005. The decline in
revenue in the Automotive division reflects the phasing out of certain
components which have been replaced by a new design which is also provided by
Omni-Lite. The Sports and Recreation division showed growth of 60% over the
first half of 2004 and this represented 23% of revenue.
Net income for the first six months of 2005 was $681,968 ($837,934 CDN)
or $0.07 ($0.09 CDN) per common share. This compares to net income of $487,329
or $0.06 per share in the first half of 2004, an increase of 40%.

outstanding of 9,614,276. Through the financing completed in February,
1,650,000 common shares were issued. As of June 30, 2005, there were 9,999,304
