PRESS RELEASE

          SCOPE INDUSTRIES TO TERMINATE SEC REPORTING AND AMEX LISTING


        Scope Industries (SCP) (the "Company") has sent a letter to its
shareowners informing them that the Company has made appropriate filings to
delist and withdraw its common stock from the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX")
and to deregister its common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC").

        The Company's Board of Directors considered several factors in making
this decision, including:

           -   The small number of shareowners of record in the Company's stock
               (under 70);

           -   The minimal average daily trading volume in the Company's common
               stock in recent years; and

           -   The significant costs of complying with the requirements of the
               Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC's implementing rules.

        "After careful consideration, the Board of Directors concluded that it
was no longer in the best interest of the Company to be a listed company and
subject to the SEC's reporting requirements and other rules implementing the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act", said, Meyer Luskin, the Company's Chairman. "The
significant, accounting, legal and administrative costs that are associated with
the SEC's reporting requirements now outweigh the advantages to this Company of
having its stock listed on the AMEX. The Company believes that these costs will
increase due to the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation and the continuing expansion of
SEC regulation without corresponding value to either the Company or its
shareowners".

        The Company anticipates that its common stock will be quoted on the Pink
Sheets (R), an electronic quotation service for over-the-counter securities,
following deregistration and delisting from the AMEX, to the extent that market
makers continue to demonstrate an interest in trading in the common stock. No
guarantee, however, can be made that trading will continue.

        Established in 1938 and headquartered in Santa Monica, California, Scope
Industries main business segment is the recycling of bakery waste material into
an animal feed supplement. The Company recently sold its vocational school group
segment and still derives some revenues from oil and gas interests.

        This press release contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's actual results could differ
materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. For a
discussion of factors that might affect actual results, investors may refer to
the Company's most recent Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The Company assumes no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this release.
