Northport Industries Inc. Summary of Historical Results of Operations

12 November 1998

Northport Industries Inc. Summary of Historical Results of Operations Three Months Ended Sept. 30, 1998, Unaudited, and 1997

    DEL RIO, Texas--Nov. 11, 1998--Northport Industries Inc. (OTC BB:PESO) is declaring a loss of $79,559 for the third quarter of 1998.
    The reasons for the loss are twofold. Our Automotive Division was affected by the General Motors strike. Our sales for our Automotive Division came in at 30% of the sales forecast. Secondly, our largest customer, Evenflo, changed its inventory practices during this same period of time, which also resulted in a reduction in sales for the Juvenile Division. Our actual sales to forecast for the Juvenile Division were 70% of plan because of this change. Fortunately, we believe that we will exceed our forecast for the fourth quarter.
