FORTIFIBER ACQUIRES FIRSTLINE - VALDOSTA

Incline Village, NV, September 15, 2006 - Fortifiber Corporation announced today that it has completed its purchase of the operations and assets of Firstline Corporation's Valdosta, GA facility.

The Valdosta plant represents a major strategic addition to Fortifiber's manufacturing locations, expanding the company's product and service capabilities in the Southeastern United States. When combined with its Los Angeles, CA, Fernley, NV and Attleboro, MA manufacturing facilities, the company will be able to leverage a national manufacturing footprint from which to supply its comprehensive line of moisture control systems to the building products marketplace.

The Firstline portfolio of building products is strategic as well - strengthening Fortifiber's market leadership in providing innovative and cost-effective moisture control solutions. Its housewrap, manufactured housing, roofing, and concrete underslab product lines provide an excellent complement to Fortifiber's existing product families. Firstline also brings new capabilities to Fortifiber to address the industrial marketplace with its C&A film and industrial packaging product lines.
