29, 2005, up 35% from $3,147,000 in the year-earlier quarter. The Company posted

per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2004. Year-to-date sales for the nine
months ended May 29, 2005 totaled $11,773,000 or a 37% increase over the same
period from the prior year. Net income for the same year-to-date period
increased 32% to $228,000 or $.09 per share compared to $173,000 or $.07 per
share. However, excluding pretax relocation and second building costs of
$328,000 incurred during the first six-months of fiscal 2005, the Company would
have had year-to-date net earnings of $437,000 or $.17 per share or a 153%
increase over the prior fiscal year.

Michael J. Pudil, president and chief executive officer, commented: "With the
third quarter of fiscal 2005, we were able to reap some of the benefits of all
the hard work that the WSI employees performed while relocating our facility. We
feel that the results begin to show the potential of what we can do with a newer
building and more efficient operations." Pudil went on to say: "We expect
continued positive earnings and cash flow in our fiscal 2005 fourth-quarter;
however we also anticipate somewhat lower sales than in the third quarter which
has been our normal trend in prior years. In addition, we are also excited by
our previously announced new partnering arrangement with one of our customers
that is an industry leader in the biosciences field. It is expected that the
arrangement could increase sales by approximately 10% as it unfolds over the
next 12 -- 18 months. We are pleased to report this positive step from our
focused efforts to grow and diversify our customer base."

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a
dividend of $.0375 per share. The dividend will be payable July 22, 2005 to
holders of record on July 8, 2005.

WSI Industries, Inc. is a leading contract manufacturer that specializes in the
machining of complex, high-precision components for a wide range of industries.
