SLS International Announces Record First Quarter Sales

Momentum Increases in Second Quarter as Company Secures Many New Orders and Had a Backlog Totaling $497,792 at the end of the Quarter’s First Eight Days

SPRINGFIELD, Mo., April 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SLS International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SITI - News) announced today record unaudited revenue for its first quarter for the period ended March 31, 2005. The Company had revenue of $869,569 a sequential increase of 61.6% compared to revenue of $538,016 generated in the fourth quarter of 2004 and it carried into the second quarter of 2005 a backlog of $149,000. The first quarter revenue was the highest in the Company’s history. SLS generated revenue of $2,040,575 for its entire 2004 fiscal year. During the first eight days of April, 2005 the Company realized an additional $349,000 in new orders and shipped $44,960.

“We are seeing significant increases in demand for our products, as demonstrated by the strong revenue growth in the first quarter and the record pace we have begun the second quarter at,” said John Gott, SLS International’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our newly introduced Cinema Series generated substantial interest from leading international distributors at the recently completed Showest Cinema Convention in Las Vegas. Our advertising program, in anticipation of the launch of the Q-Line Silver home theater and surround sound music system with a Fortune 50 retailer, has increased brand recognition. We continue to receive recognition from many of the leading engineering and design firms for our professional products. With the increase in demand, our new state-of-the-art facility enables us to efficiently meet the growing production requirements for our products from both the retail an d professional markets.”

The Company expects to announce first quarter financial results during the second week in May.
