Abazias.com Ends Quarter Positioned for Holiday Season Success with 2005 Sales up 8.5%


GAINESVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 2005--Abazias (OTCBB: ABZS) announces significant positioning for the period ending ended September 30, 2005. Third quarter sales were $520,000 with a net loss of $25,731 excluding non cash items. Although this sales figure is down 15% when compared to the same quarter last year, sales for the nine month period are up over $133,000 or 8.5%, with gross profit up over 172% compared to the nine month period ending in September 2004.

"When we combine these figures and the upcoming holiday season with our balance sheet, which has been greatly strengthened by an increased cash level, we are in a good position for strong 4th quarter numbers," states Oscar Rodriguez, CEO of Abazias. "Although there can be no assurances, we reasonably believe we can achieve 1MM in revenues in the 4th quarter," Rodriguez continues. "This would not only be a significant percentage increase versus last year, but more importantly a much more profitable one with our new gross margin mix compared to last year."

Abazias was also pleased to be covered by The Motley Fool on 11/14/05 in an article titled, "Three Stocks that Blew the Market Away." Find the article at www.fool.com.

In addition, there are several promising initiatives in the works that if successfully concluded in the fourth quarter, would significantly enhance Abazias' stature as a premier leader in the online diamond and jewelry market. Abazias currently has the largest online offerings of diamonds known to exist with over 70,000 available for sale on their site. "Our goal is to create enough momentum to make people sit up and notice Abazias the way they do Blue Nile (Nasdaq: NILE), and it is extremely attainable," Rodriguez states.

Activities for 2005 include investor relations through professional associations including SmallCapVoice.com, and investor relations with road show luncheons in key markets through Friedland Capital. Additionally, Abazias continues to promote the company through consumer public relations and strategic marketing alliances including promotional giveaways on national television game shows like, The Price is Right.
