(BW) (NY-AMERICAN-LOCKER-GROUP) (NASDAQ:ALGIE) AMERICAN LOCKER GROUP
INCORPORATED ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR FIRST QUARTER OF 2005 ON FORM 10-Q REPORT

BUSINESS EDITOR

   JAMESTOWN, NY- (BUSINESS WIRE) August 1, 2005. American Locker Group
Incorporated announced that it filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its
fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005. The operating results for the first quarter
of 2005 reflect a full quarter of revenues from the Company's long-term contract
with the United States Postal Service (USPS) for polycarbonate and aluminum
Cluster Box Units (CBUs), which was not renewed by USPS and expired on May 31,
2005. The Company expects that its sales and operating results will decline
substantially in subsequent quarters of 2005 as compared to the first quarter,
as a result of the loss of the USPS as a customer. In addition, the Company
recorded an impairment charge of approximately $6.4 million, including a
goodwill write-down of $6.1 million against its operating results, in the first
quarter of 2005.

   In the first quarter of 2005, the Company recorded consolidated net sales of
$9,160,220, a decrease from $9,554,307, or 4.1%, over the first quarter of 2004.
This decrease was attributable primarily to a decline in sales across all of the
Company's basic product groupings. Sales to the USPS were $4.2 million in the
first quarter of 2005 versus $4.5 million in the same period of 2004, a decline
of 6.6%. Notwithstanding the loss of the USPS contract, the Company experienced
relatively little decline in CBU sales in the first quarter of 2005, as the
contract did not expire until May 31, 2005. The Company reported a net loss of
$5,697,031 in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to net income of $630,820 in
the same period of 2004, due primarily to the $6.1 million charge against
operations for goodwill impairment. Loss per share on a diluted basis was $3.71
per share in the first quarter of 2005, down from earnings per share on a
diluted basis of $0.41 in the first quarter of 2004.
