EarthFirst Technologies, Incorporated EFTI)
("EarthFirst" or "the Company") today announced the Company's results
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

2005 Financial Highlights

-- Revenue increased 172% to $41.7 million, up from $15.3 million
in 2004. Due to the timing of the Company's acquisition of
Electric Machinery Enterprises, Inc. (EME) in August 2004,
2004 revenues reflected only four month's operations of EME.

-- On a segmented basis, 2005 revenue from EME totaled $41.5
million; revenue from the Company's solid waste remediation
business totaled approximately $12,000; and revenue from its
new biofuels business totaled approximately $170,000.

-- Operating income, exclusive of non-cash charges, was
$1,423,000 in 2005, compared to an operating loss of
$1,796,000 in 2004.

-- Due largely to non-cash charges associated with a convertible
debt financing completed in 2005 and stock-based compensation
to entities affiliated with or controlled by the Company's
Chairman of the Board, net loss increased to approximately
$17.7 million, or $0.035 loss per diluted share, compared to a
net loss of approximately $2.3 million, or $0.01 loss per
diluted share.

-- As of December 31, 2005, EarthFirst had $10.4 million in cash
and receivables, $18.7 million in stockholders' equity and
$4.1 million in net working capital.

The Company has filed its Form 10KSB with the U.S. Securities &
Exchange Commission, which includes restated financial statements for
the first, second and third quarters, ended March 31, 2005, June 30,
2005 and September 30, 2005, due to a change in the accounting for the
convertible note financing transactions. The Company accounted for the
free standing warrants, embedded beneficial conversion options, and
other derivative financial instruments associated with the convertible
notes as paid in capital or equity, in accordance with accounting
interpretations at that time. During the fourth quarter of 2005, it
was determined that these derivatives should be recorded as
liabilities at estimated fair value and similarly adjusted at each
subsequent reporting period, based upon changes in the estimated fair
market of the financial derivatives.
John Stanton, Chairman and CEO of EarthFirst Technologies, Inc.,
stated, "In light of our recently announced intentions to merge
EarthFirst with Cast-Crete Corporation ("Cast-Crete"), and concentrate
our energy technologies into a separate public entity, we have focused
on defining the framework for the restructuring. We expect to commit
to a course of action in the near future that will accommodate
expedited closings of the underlying transactions."
"In the interim, I'm pleased to confirm that each of our
operational businesses is performing well," continued Stanton. "EME,
Prime Power of Tampa and Prime Power Residential continue to serve as
EarthFirst's primary sources of revenue."
Concluding, Stanton noted, "While the contemplated restructuring
of EarthFirst is complex, we remain confident that this course of
action represents the best opportunity to maximize and deliver long
term, profitable and sustainable value for our shareholders. We will
announce a timetable for the restructuring and identify milestones
within the next two weeks. At that time, the Company will also
announce the date of its teleconference for interested parties."
