SMS Announces Quarterly, YTD Net Profits

    AUSTIN, Texas, April 5 Scientific Measurement Systems,
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SCMS) today submitted its financial results for
FY1999 year-end (audited) and for the two subsequent quarters for FY2000
(unaudited).  Notably, also SMS announced its earnings results for the second
quarter and year to date for fiscal year 2000.
    Mr. Howard L. Burris, President & CEO announced today that the (unaudited)
financial statements for January 31, 2000 report a year-to-date net profit of
$996,096 for the first two quarters -- or an earnings per share value of $.04.
    Mr. Burris noted "this was largely the result of a second quarter net
profit of $865,176 which in turn was in great measure the product of an
extraordinary event, notably accounting for the forgiveness of debt associated
with the Company's re-structuring completed December 22, 1999."
    The year-to-date profit of $996,096 and $865,176 for the second quarter
are compared to losses of approximately $(334,000) and $(162,000) respectively
for the two analogous reporting periods in the pervious fiscal year.
