C. Alan Smith, Chief Executive Officer, stated "PFB's operations continue to be influenced by external volatilities and economic uncertainties. The prolonged downturn in housing construction in the United States is now expected to persist for an extended period and it is necessary for PFB to make adjustments in the ways that it participates in the niche sectors to which it supplies its building systems. Consolidated sales revenues and gross profit margins are expected to exhibit more strength in the second half of this year beyond that indicated by the first half year performance."

Quarterly Dividend Payment

The Board of Directors has approved the payment of a regular quarterly dividend of $0.06 per common share. The dividend will be paid on August 31, 2010, to shareholders of record on August 13, 2010.
