(Nasdaq: ASVI) today reported it has updated its net sales and earnings expectations for 2004. Based on continued strong demand for its R-Series Posi-Track products as well as its rubber track undercarriages used by Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) on their line of Multi Terrain Loaders (MTL), ASV has updated its expected sales for the twelve months ending December 31, 2004 to the range of $140-155 million. This updated range represents an increase of 45-60% over ASV's 2003 net sales of $96.4 million. ASV has also updated its expected earnings to the range of $1.05-1.17 per diluted share for the twelve months ending December 31, 2004, an increase of 35-50% over ASV's 2003 diluted earnings per share of $.78 per share. ASV's previously announced ranges for net sales had been $130-155 million for fiscal 2004 and earnings per share of $.95-1.17 per diluted share for fiscal 2004. Commenting on the above figures, ASV President Gary Lemke stated "We are pleased to announce this update of our expected sales and earnings for 2004.

We believe consumers are realizing the benefits our rubber track machines and undercarriages offer. To capitalize on this, ASV continues to increase its dealership base in North America and also expand its presence in the rental market, especially Home Depot rental facilities."
