              AMISTAR REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2003 FINANCIAL RESULTS

SAN MARCOS, CALIFORNIA, October 27, 2003 /PR Newswire-First Call/ -- Amistar
Corporation (Nasdaq:-AMTA) today reported sales and results for the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 2003.

$2,844,000 for the third quarter in 2002. Net sales for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003 were $8,546,000 compared to $8,312,000 for the similar period
in 2002.

There was a net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 of $36,000 or
$0.01 per share compared to a net loss of $377,000 or $0.12 per share in the
third quarter of 2002. There was a net loss for the nine months ended September

During the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Company continued its trend of
successive quarterly operating earnings improvement since the second quarter of
2001. After adding back depreciation expense of $85,000 to the net loss of
$36,000, the Company generated a positive operating cash flow of $49,000 during
the third quarter of 2003. The Company has now posted two consecutive quarters
of positive EBITDA. The Company narrowed its net loss during the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002,
primarily due to profitability achieved during the month of September, an
increase in DataPlace label placement machine and custom factory automation
equipment sales, an increase in spare parts and accessories distributed from the
Company's off-shore supplier, an increase in the billable portion of the
engineering staff's time, the effects of cost cutting primarily during 2002, and
due to increased manufacturing efficiencies in the Amistar Manufacturing
Services division.
