For the fourth quarter, revenues were $17.3 million, an 8% increase over the $16 million reported in the prior year period. Net income for the fourth quarter was $2.5 million, a 30% increase over the $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2004. Earnings per share for the fourth quarter were $0.03 per fully diluted share versus $0.02 per fully diluted per share reported in the prior year.

For the full year, revenues totaled $59.2 million, a 113% increase over the $27 million reported for 2004. Net income rose to $9.3 million, or $0.12 per fully diluted share versus the $1 million, or $0.02 reported in the prior year. Revenues in 2005 included $42.2 million for storm-related work in Florida and Mississippi versus $10.6 million in 2004.

Ron Carte, Zenex's President and CEO said, "2005 was a year of dramatic developments and great successes. Our core roofing business remained stable during a year which saw a significant change in the management of that business. At the same time, our relationship with Oklahoma Development Group gave us the unique opportunity to bid for and be awarded contracts for storm related work. Finally, our ability to service such large contracts is a testament to our rapid response capabilities and the geographic scale of our business."

"We look forward to growing our core roofing business by focusing on the commercial roofing market and emphasizing our expanded product offerings and extensive maintenance capabilities. At the same time, while any storm related work is by definition weather dependent, we are confident in our abilities to respond quickly and effectively should the need arise," concluded Carte.

Commenting further, Reggie Cook, CFO noted, "Not only are we pleased with our 2005 results, we are particularly happy with the fact that while we saw a dramatic increase in revenues, we were able to control the growth in expenses. Operating expenses were 75% of revenues in 2005 versus 91% of revenues in 2004. We also reduced our long term debt from $915,452 to $295,390 as we took the opportunity to repay a portion of the debt with cash generated from operations."
