Plasticon Announces Company is Profitable as of Second Quarter 2005; Review of Financials for first and second quarter 2005 show Plasticon to be on a positive cash flow basis.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Plasticon International Inc. (Pink Sheets:PLNI) today announced that a review of the financials for the first and second quarter of 2005 demonstrate that Plasticon has achieved profitability as of the end of the second quarter of 2005.

"Our momentum has been incredible over the last few months," said Jim Turek, President and CEO of Plasticon International, Inc. "As the technology leader of the recycled plastics sector, we developed several major innovations which led to substantial cost savings and leaps in productivity. We announced our exclusive contract with the largest building materials distribution company in the U.S., which makes us the largest supplier of rebar supports in the country. We also built some very important partnerships, which will allow us to continue to aggressively grow the company. All of these developments contributed to our profitability. So we are thrilled to announce that Plasticon International is profitable as of the second quarter of 2005."

Mr. Turek said that the company's top priority right now is to have the company audit completed by the end of July. "I am confident that we can meet this deadline. This is a very important step for us. Once the audit is completed we will immediately file the necessary documents with the SEC, in order to move Plasticon to the OTCBB. We expect this to be accomplished in the next 30 to 90 days. "

Mr. Turek emphasized that there will be many exciting announcements in the coming weeks and months, and noted that investors and shareholders should visit www.plasticonintl.com frequently for updates. "We approach communications with our shareholders and the public very seriously and we feel that it's very important to bring openness and integrity to the process. For news about our company, we urge investors to rely on trusted sites only. It has come to my attention that there is a lot of misinformation being bandied about on the internet regarding PLNI.
