     Manassas, VA. --- June 12, 2008 --- Williams Industries, Inc. today
announced results for the third quarter of Fiscal 2008, which ended April 30,
2008.   The company had revenue of $9,491,000 and a loss of $465,000 or $0.13
per share, compared to the 2007 third quarter revenue of $11,474,000 and a

of $28,739,000 compared to a loss of $1,171,000 or $0.32 per share on revenue
of $30,973,000 in same period in 2007.  The company's complete quarterly
filing is available on the Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR system
(www.sec.gov).

     The company also announced that during this time of steel price
escalations and supply uncertainty, it was consolidating and relocating
portions of two of its manufacturing operations.

     Williams Bridge Company will take the opportunity to consolidate and
"right size" its operations by significantly downsizing the Manassas plant.
Redundant operations will be eliminated and the company's larger plant in
Richmond, Virginia will become the primary production facility.  In addition
to the consolidation, Williams Bridge Company will be investing in technology
to improve quality and further reduce costs.  Layoffs in Manassas will begin
immediately and will be completed in early August. The sales and
administration functions will remain in Manassas.  These changes will enhance
opportunities for future business success and further the company's ability
to produce high quality products.

     S.I.P. Inc. of Delaware is also taking the opportunity to "right size"
its operations.   This subsidiary will move its Wilmington, Delaware
operations to its plant in Gadsden, Alabama.  It is anticipated that
relocation will occur prior to September 1.  All of these measures were taken
to reduce operating costs and to improve value for customers. To assure
customer service and timely response in the Middle Atlantic and Northeast, a
small distribution facility will be established at the Richmond plant
mentioned above.
