Seattle, WA –Tuesday, November 8, 2005 – ASG Consolidated and its wholly-owned subsidiary American Seafoods Group (together, “American Seafoods”) today announced their results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. American Seafoods Group and its subsidiaries conduct substantially all the operations of American Seafoods. As a result, there are only limited differences between the consolidated financial results of the two companies, which are noted herein. Holders of ASG Consolidated’s Senior Discount Notes and American Seafoods Group’s Senior Subordinated Notes are encouraged to review the financial results of each company contained in their respective quarterly reports on Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased $22.2 million, or 6.2%, to $377.4 million as compared to $355.2 million for the same prior year period. At-sea processing sales increased as a result of higher prices for our pollock surimi and block products, as well as higher sales volumes of hake and yellowfin sole products. Land-based processing sales increased primarily due to higher sales volumes and prices generated from our secondary processed block-cut products and higher prices for our scallop products.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased $6.0 million, or 7.0%, to $91.1 million as compared to $85.1 million for the same prior year period. The increase in gross profit was due primarily to the increases in product sales prices partially offset by an increase in operational costs, such as fuel, freight and purchased fish costs. Gross margin of 24.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is comparable to the same prior year period gross margin of 24.0%. Gross margins for both the at-sea and land-based segments were in line with the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA (which pursuant to the American Seafood’s Group’s Credit Agreement is calculated as earnings before net interest expense, income tax benefit or provision, depreciation, amortization, unrealized foreign exchange and other derivatives gains or losses, loss from debt repayment and related write-offs, equity-based compensation, the write-off of certain financing costs and goodwill and other non-cash charges or gains) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased $4.0 million, or 4.3%, to $96.3 million as compared to $92.3 million for the same prior year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the operational factors discussed above, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses consisting primarily of higher corporate transportation expenses and professional fees.

Net income for ASG Consolidated for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 increased $37.5 million to $46.2 million as compared to $8.7 million for the same prior year period for reasons discussed above and due to the absence in 2005 of write-offs of recapitalization transaction costs and goodwill incurred in 2004. Additionally, during 2005 there was a net increase in gains on foreign exchange and other derivative contracts. These increases are partially offset by interest expense related to the Senior Discount Notes, which were not outstanding during the first three quarters of 2004.

Net income for American Seafoods Group for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $57.7 million. The $11.5 million difference in net income between the two companies is comprised substantially of interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs related to ASG Consolidated’s Senior Discount Notes.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2004

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased $7.4 million, or 8.0%, to $100.4 million as compared to $93.0 million during the same prior year period due mainly to higher prices for surimi and block products and higher volumes of hake surimi and pollock block products. Land-based processing sales increased slightly for the third quarter of 2005 primarily due to higher sales prices generated from our scallop products.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased $2.6 million, or 13.7%, to $21.4 million as compared to $18.8 million for the same prior year period. The increase in gross profit was due primarily to the increases in product sales prices partially offset by an increase in operational costs, such as fuel, freight and purchased fish costs. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased to 21.3% as compared to the prior year period gross margin of 20.2%, primarily as a result of the increase in product sales prices and the operational factors discussed above.

Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased $2.3 million, or 14.8%, to $17.5 million as compared to $15.3 million for the same prior year period primarily due to the increase in revenue and the operational factors discussed above. This increase was partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses consisting primarily of higher corporate transportation costs and professional fees.

Net income for ASG Consolidated for the three months ended September 30, 2005 increased $22.2 million to $5.9 million as compared to a loss of $16.3 million for the same prior year period for reasons discussed above and due to the absence in 2005 of write-offs of recapitalization transaction costs and goodwill incurred in 2004. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2005 there was a net increase in gains on foreign exchange and other derivative contracts. These increases are partially offset by interest expense related to the Senior Discount Notes, which were not outstanding in the third quarter of 2004.

Net income for American Seafoods Group for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $9.9 million. The $4.0 million difference in net income between the two companies is comprised primarily of interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs related to ASG Consolidated’s Senior Discount Notes.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles. We include Adjusted EBITDA because we understand it is used by some investors to determine a company’s historical ability to service indebtedness and fund ongoing capital expenditures, and because certain covenant measures in our note indenture and credit agreement are based upon Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, it should be noted that companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently and, therefore, Adjusted EBITDA presented by us may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as reported by other companies.
