With single-family housing starts continuing to struggle, multi-family housing projects have taken on increasing market share within the housing industry (http://www.cnbc.com/id/100646124#). The increase in multi-family projects is one of the primary drivers of our Project Revenue Forward of $3M in the third quarter. The Company is increasing coating production in all ECOB's facilities as large national lumber brokers have expressed a projected increase in demand for our treated lumber.

"This project marks the first milestone on our path to profitability," stated Steve Conboy, President/CEO, Eco Building Products, Inc. "As we penetrate the multi-family housing project market, we are demonstrating the overall economic benefit we can bring to builders due to multi-family fires during construction and the possibility of reduced insurance premiums especially after the Houston fire (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOUWMUBMvLA). An increase in multi-family projects coupled with our Big Box business opportunity will support our sales growth,"
