ABLEAUCTIONS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2005 RESULTS – REVENUES FROM AUCTION BUSINESS HIGHER, REVENUES FROM LIQUIDATION OPERATIONS LOWER


OJAI, CALIFORNIA – August 15, 2005 – Ableauctions.com Inc.  (AMEX: AAC) (the “Company”) today announced the results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.    


Revenues


During the three months ended June 30, 2005, revenues from the Company’s online auction business increased by almost 40% from the previous quarter and 25% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004.  The number of live auction sessions for iCollector.com and Naalive.com increased by almost 50% from the previous quarter.  The Company’s database of registered bidders for live auctions grew by 31% in the second quarter and the Company’s client base grew by 10% in the second quarter.


Revenues from the Company’s liquidation services were lower due to a number of factors, including a short term diversion of resources to develop and implement new platforms with strategic partners.  While the Company expects revenues from its liquidation services to rebound in the third quarter based on sales made to date, it also expect that revenues earned in the future from its liquidation services will fluctuate widely based upon seasonality, the inventory available, the timing of orders, and its ability to verify and ship orders on a timely basis.


The Company reported revenue of $613,849 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, compared to revenue of $1,684,608 during the same period in 2004.


Cost of sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 were 54% of revenues during the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, compared to 76 % during the same period in 2004.  The decrease in the cost of sales as a percentage of revenue is attributable to the performance of the Company’s online auction business, which realizes higher gross profit margins than our liquidation services.


Gross profits were $281,388 or approximately 46% of revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005, compared to $397,639 or approximately 24% of revenues for the same period in 2004.  The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue is attributable to the performance of the Company’s online auction business, which realizes higher gross profit margins than its liquidation services.  Future gross profit margins may vary considerably from quarter-to-quarter depending on the performance of the Company’s various divisions.


Income


The Company reported net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, of $47,801, or $0.001 per share, as compared to $102,592, or $0.002 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2004.


Shareholder’s Equity


Shareholders’ equity, defined as the carrying amount of the Company’s assets minus its liabilities, increased to $11,919,708 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, from $11,505,806 as at December 31, 2004.
