$2.3M in Sales with $114K Profit

Victoria, BC, Canada - November 5, 2003- Carmanah Technologies recorded its highest quarterly sales and respective profit in its history for the three-month period ending September 30, 2003.

Carmanah's total revenue for the quarter increased by 45% over the previous quarter and by 43% over the comparative 2002 quarter. The third quarter of 2003 also produced the largest quarterly profit in the company's history in the amount of $114,381.

"It is very encouraging to see so many key performance indicators showing positive results at the same time," said Art Aylesworth, Carmanah's CEO. "We are pleased that the effort and resources invested earlier this year are being rewarded.

"By all measureables, this was the best quarter in Carmanah's history. Our sales ($2.3M) and net profits ($114K) in this quarter, as well as the carry over backlog orders ($1.1M) heading into the fourth quarter, are all at record levels," he added. "These results also do not include any revenue contributions from our newly acquired subsidiary, AVVA Light Corp., which came on stream October 1st, 2003."

Carmanah has focused on broadening the markets for its technology to include new verticals beyond the marine lighting market. During the past three months, Carmanah has seen a significant validation of its transit products with a $1.6M order for 300 bus shelter lighting systems to be installed in the city of London, England. Carmanah also received over $1M in orders for its aviation runway and taxiway solar-powered lighting systems during Q3.

"The ongoing strength of our marine product sales coupled with the rapid acceptance of transit and aviation products confirms that our core technology is transferable to new markets", said Aylesworth. "We are now planning a release of two new products for the roadways market by the end of 2003 that use a combination of technologies from Carmanah and AVVA."
