National Storm Management, Inc. Reports Results for 2005 Year Revenues up Sharply; startups in new markets contribute to net loss.


GLEN ELLYN Glen Ellyn, village (1990 pop. 24,944), Du Page co., NE Ill., a residential suburb of Chicago; inc. 1892. Points of interest include Stacy Tavern, a 19th-century stagecoach stop on the Chicago-Galena route; a wildlife sanctuary; and an arboretum. , Ill. -- National Storm Management, Inc. (PINK SHEETS:NLST NLST Name-List

) today reported results for the fiscal year ended December December: see month.  31, 2005.

Revenues rose 21 percent to $15.2 million. However, the company reversed its history of yearly profits to post a net loss of $1.6 million, or four cents a share.

--Gains in revenues came primarily from Florida Florida, state, United States

) during 2005 contributed to the net loss.

--Sales of $500,000 from developmental offices in Mississippi and Minnesota had little impact on 2005 revenues, yet are expected to generate up to $12 million in 2006.

For the year, National Storm reported revenues of $15,153,760, up sharply from $12,486,913 in 2004. Net loss for the year was $1,642,075, or four cents a share with 42,245,088 basic weighted average common shares outstanding. This compares to net income of $65,952, with zero earnings per share based on 34,000,000 average common shares outstanding.

"We are pushing for rapid growth and that means making significant investments in locations that meet our criteria criteria (krītēr´ē),

We expect the development expenses of 2005 to pay off in the current year and the future," said Terry Kiefer, National Storm's president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"The Mississippi and Minnesota operations are prime examples of this as they did not benefit our financial results last year but should make a contribution to both top and bottom lines in 2006."

 situation, insurance companies have devoted their resources to helping those who have been hit the hardest and our market area has been slow to get their attention. We are seeing this attention now. Although there is a lag between insurance company approval and completion of the work, Katrina-related work will have positive impact on our financials in 2006.

"Overall, we expect solid growth in 2006, especially beginning in the third quarter. Our investments in new locations should pay off and the exceptional delay relating Katrina will be behind us. We continue to seek acquisitions, although there is a lot of room for internal growth at this point as well," Mr. Kiefer said.
