Summa Announces Plan to Divest Excess Real Estate TORRANCE, Calif.,
Dec. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Summa Industries (NASDAQ:SUMX)
announces that it plans to sell several parcels of real estate
which have or will become excess, primarily as a result of several
consolidation and restructuring initiatives. Summa estimates that
the sales could result in a book gain of $5 to $9 million and
generate cash, net of taxes, of $9 to $14 million. The parcels will
be offered for sale separately and the timing of each sale is
uncertain. All of the properties are zoned for industrial use. Some
of the properties may have greater value if they can be rezoned for
residential or other use. While rezoning may increase the value,
the sale process would likely be extended. The properties are
either currently listed for sale or are expected to be listed for
sale by the end of fiscal 2005. Statements in this news release
which relate to future plans, financial results or projections,
events or performance are forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and fall under the safe harbor. These forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the plans of
the Company to sell real estate and expected values to be realized
from such sales. Actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of a
number of factors, including, but not limited to the inability of
the Company to divest one or more parcels of real estate, the
inability of the Company to complete its consolidation plans, the
discovery of unanticipated contingencies, unforeseen changes in
financial markets or real estate markets and other risks and
uncertainties described in detail under "Risk Factors" in Summa's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31,
2004. For further information, contact James R. Swartwout, (310)
