LaPolla Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End Results

HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - April 15, 2008) - April 15, 2008 -- LaPolla Industries, Inc. ("Company" or "LaPolla") (OTCBB: LPAD) a leading manufacturer of foam and coating products targeting commercial, industrial and residential building envelope applications, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2007.

Sales for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $6.7 million compared to $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Operating loss for the fourth quarter was $2.6 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period last year. Included in the 2007 results were $1.18 million of noncash stock-based compensation expense and $0.5 million of start-up, manufacturing costs associated with the Company's new foam resin plant. Net loss available for common stockholders for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $2.9 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to $1.5 million, or $0.02 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2006.

Sales were $31.8 million for the full year 2007 compared to $30.3 million in 2006, as increases in foam sales were partially offset by declines in coatings volumes primarily associated with the sale of our retail distribution channel. Operating loss in 2007 was $5.1 million compared to $3.1 million for the same period last year. Net loss available to common stockholders in 2007 was $5.9 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to $3.0 million, or $0.05 per share, for the same period in 2006.

"2007 was a year of tremendous change at LaPolla and an investment in the future. We centralized our manufacturing operations, began operating our new foam resin plant, and expanded our national sales footprint by securing new regional distributors and strengthening our internal sales force. Despite a weakened demand for housing products that intensified in the second half of the year, as well as a period of transitioning our existing customer base to our in-house manufactured foam resins, we succeeded in increasing sales in our foam segment by 14% and in expanding our share of the construction insulation market," said Douglas J. Kramer, president and chief executive officer.

"Although the severe downturn in the building products industry temporarily slowed our growth plans, the benefits of our energy efficient spray foam insulation products, continue to resonate with contractors and consumers, particularly in the residential market. Our established brand, experienced sales and technical personnel, national and international presence, and vertical integration position us to further gain market share. Additionally, improved manufacturing efficiencies and tighter controls on spending, will enable us to attain profitability in the near term," concluded Kramer.

Results of Core Business Segments

Foam sales increased 14% to $20.7 million in 2007 compared to $18.2 million last year due to increased market penetration in the traditional insulation markets, with superior energy efficient technology amid escalating oil prices. Segment loss was $1.9 million in 2007 compared to $1.5 million in 2006 primarily due to start up costs and expenses related to the company's new foam resin plant and higher overhead to support sales growth.

Coatings sales decreased 8% to $11.1 million in 2007 compared to $12.1 million in 2006 reflecting the sale of the company's retail distribution channel and a general downturn in the building products market. Segment income was $133,825 in 2007 compared to a segment loss of $13,117 in 2006, primarily due to cost reductions associated with the sale of the retail distribution channel and the closure of the company's Florida manufacturing facility.
