IMPERIAL ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER

AND NINE MONTHS 2009 RESULTS

Pompano Beach, FL………Imperial Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq CM: “IPII”) announced today the results of operations for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009.  

Net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009 were $2,186,000, compared to $2,424,000 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of 9.8%. For the third quarter ended September 30, 2009 the Company had a loss from continuing operations of $274,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $324,000, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the comparable period of 2008. Discontinued operations related to the closure of the Company’s distribution facilities during 2009 and 2008, accounted for losses of $1,530,000, or $0.60 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $1,486,000, or $0.59 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2008. Accordingly, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,804,000, or $0.71 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009 compared to a net loss of $1,810,000, or $0.72 per diluted share, f or the third quarter of 2008.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were $6,864,000, compared to $7,788,000 for the same period in 2008, a decrease of 11.9%. The Company realized a loss from continuing operations of $1,440,000, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the 2009 nine month period compared to a loss from continuing operations of $558,000, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2008. Discontinued operations accounted for losses of $2,798,000, or $1.10 per diluted share, and $4,038,000, or $1.61 per diluted share, for the 2009 and 2008 respective nine month periods.

Results of operations for both the third quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 were adversely affected by the continuing decline in construction activity and weak demand for the Company’s products throughout the Florida market, the Company’s principal trade area. In addition, the Company’s subsidiary, Just-Rite Supply, Inc., terminated all operations of its distribution facilities on June 11, 2009 and entered into an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors in which all of its assets, subject to any liabilities thereof, were transferred to the Assignee to sell and liquidate for the benefit of creditors pursuant to Florida State Law. Restructuring fees and other costs associated with the discontinuance of these operations, including a charge against continuing operations for an estimated loss contingency of $627,000, had a significant effect on the Corporati on’s continuing results of operations for the 2009 nine month period.

S. Daniel Ponce, Imperial’s Chairman of the Board, stated: “We face a challenging environment in the construction industry and are making every effort to continue to reduce costs and adjust our operating structure to best meet the reduced levels of product demand within the industry. While industry forecasts do not indicate any expected improvement in construction activity in the near term, we are focusing our efforts on addressing new marketing opportunities and broadening our geographic reach for certain of our products. We are continuing our search for new financing to gain the flexibility to sustain our operations through the current economic downturn and benefit from our market position when industry conditions improve.”
