Williams Industries, Inc. Announces
- -----------------------------------
Third Quarter 2006 Results;
- --------------------------
Small Land Sale
- ---------------

     Manassas, VA. --- June 21, 2006 --- Williams Industries, Inc.
(NASDAQ - WMSI) today announced income of $62,000 or $0.02 per
share on revenue of $10,765,000 for the third quarter of Fiscal
2006, which ended April 30, 2006.   This compares to a loss of
$3,822,000 or $1.05 per share on revenue of $12,125,000 for the
quarter ended April 30, 2005.    For the nine months ended April
30, 2006, the company reported income of $80,000 or $0.02 per
share on revenue of $34,018,000 compared to a loss of $5,758,000
or $1.58 per share on revenue of $37,182,000.  The company's
complete quarterly filing is available on the Securities and
Exchange Commission's EDGAR system (www.sec.gov).

     Williams Industries' President and CEO Frank E. Williams,
III, said that while operations have improved from the prior
year's performance, the greatest difference between the 2005 and
2006 results is that the company reserved its entire tax asset in
Fiscal 2005, due to losses at that time.   "In order for Williams
Industries to grow and thrive, we need to improve our operations
significantly," Williams said.  "We are approaching a period of
opportunity in which new projects will be bid, but in order to
avail ourselves of the best opportunities, we have to continue
effectively managing cash while simultaneously improving our
performance."

The company continues to make progress in reducing the debt to its
primary lender, United Bank.  On June 12, 2006, subsequent to the
third quarter closing, the company paid United $856,000 as the
result of a small undeveloped land sale to an unaffiliated third
party.  The land, 2.72 acres, was severed several years ago from
Williams Industries' primary property in Prince William County as
the result of land acquisition for a new road being built in the
area.  The gain on this transaction will be recognized in the
company's fourth quarter results.  The company expects to make the
balance of the $1 million payment and to replenish the escrow
account from which the bank debits current interest payments, as
required under the Forbearance Agreement, by July 31, 2006.   Once
these requirements are met, the terms of the United agreement will
be extended to December 31, 2006.   "Getting our banking
relationships back on track, as well as developing the cash flow
to manage our materials' purchase requirements in an effective
manner, are two of the company's top priorities,"  Williams said.

"I expect our results to continue to show improvement throughout
the balance of Fiscal 2006," Williams concluded.

     Williams Industries' fiscal year is from August 1 to July 31.
