(The Nasdaq Stock Market:SEMI), a leading distributor of electronic components, today announced its results for the second quarter and first half of 2005. Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 were $111.2 million, up from net sales of $106.9 million for the same period of 2004. Income from operations was $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2005, compared to $2.7 million for the second quarter of last year. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $308,000 or $.08 per share (diluted), compared to net income of $1.0 million or $.25 per share (diluted) for the second quarter of 2004.

Goldberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of All American, stated, "While industry conditions have improved slightly we are pleased that we were able to achieve 18% sequential growth in sales for the second quarter of 2005. Sales for the second quarter represented the highest quarterly sales level since the first quarter of 2001. Even though we achieved significant sequential revenue growth in the second quarter, it is still difficult to determine how strong the balance of 2005 will be." "Due to the consolidation in our industry we believe it is an important time to be adding resources and continuing to invest in order to be properly positioned to respond to industry developments. These investments as well as a slight decline in our gross margins have impacted our profitability. We are confident that, when conditions improve further, our continued commitment to our strategies will result in enhanced returns to our shareholders in future periods." All American is recognized as the nation's 4th largest distributor of semiconductors and the 9th largest electronic components distributor overall.
