IMPERIAL ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Pompano Beach, FL…….Imperial Industries, Inc. ("IPII") announced today the results of operations for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002.

The Company derived net income of $153,000, or $.02 per share, for the third quarter of 2002, compared to $139,000, or $.02 per share in 2001.

The Company generated income before taxes and the write-off of goodwill, as discussed below, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 of $677,000, compared to $448,000 for the same period in 2001. The Company incurred a net loss of $483,000, or $.05 per share, for the first nine months, compared to net income of $282,000, or $.03 per share for the same period last year. Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, includes $789,000 for a non-cash charge due to the goodwill impairment discussed below. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge described below, the Company derived net income of $306,000, or $.03 per share, for the first nine months of 2002.

Net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $9,423,000 and $27,575,000, respectively, compared to $9,556,000 and 30,481,000, for the same periods in 2001. The closure during 2001 of certain under-performing distribution facilities and the elimination of installation services and sales of gypsum wallboard at certain locations accounted for the principal amount of the sales decline in the nine months and third quarter of 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001.

The net loss for the nine months ended September 30,2002 includes the impact of a $1,272,000 ($789,000 net of related tax benefit) non-cash goodwill impairment charge. The charge is related to the Company's required adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". The goodwill impairment charge is a one time event and does not affect the operating results of the Company. The Company doesn't have any remaining goodwill on its balance sheet. The impairment of goodwill is attributable to the under-performance of the Company's distribution operations associated with the acquisition of certain building materials distributors in 2000. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company is reflecting this impairment charge in its nine month financial results as a cumulative change in accounting principle.

Imperial Industries, Inc., a building products company, sells products throughout the Southeastern United States with facilities in the States of Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama. The Company is engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of stucco, plaster and roofing products to building materials dealers, contractors and others through its subsidiaries, Premix-Marbletite Manufacturing Co. and Acrocrete, Inc.

The statements in this press release contain forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Such statements, including those regarding, among other things, the Company's strategy and future prospects, are dependent on a number of factors, including market conditions and availability of financing, only some of which are within the Company's control.
