ABLEAUCTIONS REPORTS 2nd
QUARTER 2004 RESULTS – 83% INCREASE IN REVENUE, 98% INCREASE IN NET PROFITS
FIFE, WASHINGTON – August 12, 2004 – Ableauctions.com Inc.  (AMEX:AAC) (the "Company") today announced the results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, reflecting growth for the sixth consecutive quarter.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The Company reported revenue of $1,765,242 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to revenue of $163,645 during the same period in 2003, an increase of 979% (and $966,141 in the previous quarter, an increase of 83%).
The Company posted a better picture for income from operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, reporting income from operations of $127,999 before depreciation and amortization, compared to $78,463 during the same period in 2003, an increase of 63% (and $69,957 in the previous quarter, an increase of  83%).   After depreciation and amortization, the Company reported net income of $102,592 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, compared to $32,531 during the same period in 2003, an increase of 215% (and $51,923 in the previous quarter, an increase of 98%).
Shareholders' equity, defined as the value of the Company's assets minus its liabilities, also increased for the sixth consecutive quarter to $9,081,677 from $8,623,084 as of March 31, 2004.
The Company, in anticipation of significantly increasing the number of live auction sessions it expects to manage in 2004, added nine new employees to its live auction services division.   The Company increased its outlook on the number of eBay auction sessions it expects to manage 2004 from 113 sessions reported in the last quarter to 240 sessions.  The Company also increased its outlook on the number of  auction sessions it expects to manage using its own technology through NAALive.com in 2004 from 60 sessions reported in the last quarter to 120 sessions.
Gross profits were $412,857 or approximately 23% of revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004, compared to $123,902 or approximately 76% of revenues for the period ended June 30, 2003 (and $340,204 or 35% of revenues for the previous quarter).  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.
OUTLOOK
The Company's mission is to be a world leader in providing auction houses with Internet auction technology, services related to broadcasting auctions on the Internet, and inventory for liquidation.  The Company earns revenues from providing the following products and services:

3.

In 2003 the Company emerged with an impressive business model and laid a solid foundation on which to build an exciting technology company going forward.  In the process, it made significant progress towards accomplishing many of its objectives and milestones.
In the first quarter of 2004, the Company's revenues exceeded all of the revenue earned during 2003.  In the second quarter of 2004, the Company posted revenue of $1,765,242, bringing the six-month year-to-date revenue for 2004 to $ 2,731,383.    It has increased its outlook on the performance of its live auction services and has managed to attract some of the world's leading auction houses and service providers to partner with it in delivering its technology and services.  The Company has developed innovative technology, that it continuously refines, that enables auction houses to broadcast auctions on the Internet, and it has established an experienced management team and board of directors, all dedicated to building a significant global technology company.
The Company has also been successful in securing financing. In 2003, the Company raised $4 million in private offerings of securities that included large institutional investors.  It has no long term debt and over $5.5 million in cash and short-term investments.  Shareholder's equity has increased to over $9 million and management is constantly looking for new ways to produce revenue streams that will benefit the Company in years to come.
Looking forward, management has set a number of aggressive goals for the coming months as it continues to build on its strengths in the auction and liquidation industry for future growth.  The Company intends on further expansion by partnering with or by acquiring companies that add breadth to its core competencies and enhance its business model.
