HOM LifeGoal Home Down Payment Investment ETF

Home Solutions (AMEX: HOM), a provider of recovery, restoration and rebuilding/remodeling services, commented today on its relationship with American Renaissance Homes (ARH), a provider of affordable housing. On May 23rd, the Company announced through a press release that it had been awarded a contract by ARH. The Company has assumed, for purposes of its 2006 business outlook, that this relationship will generate $5 million in revenue, largely in the fourth quarter, representing a small portion of its 2006 financial guidance of revenue of $160 million to $165 million as ARH is a start-up company. In addition, Home Solutions has entered into an agreement with ARH, under which it would loan up to $800,000, upon ARH meeting certain performance criteria, to support ARH's working capital requirements, secured by ARH's ownership in modular homes and land. The parties have been in discussions regarding Home Solutions taking an ownership position in the Company, but no agreement has been consummated and Home Solutions does not, at the present time, have an ownership stake in ARH. "We believe this relationship is very strategic for the Company, and as the rebuilding of New Orleans accelerates it will, in future years, become a more important component to our revenue base," said Frank J. Fradella, Chairman and CEO of Home Solutions. "The demand for affordable housing is expected to be significant, however, we have anticipated that much of that work will contribute to 2007 results." Currently, many New Orleans area residents live in 200 square foot trailers provided by FEMA. ARH will provide homes between 1,200 and 2,300 square feet at a fraction of the cost of construction in the area, which is currently approaching $150 per square foot.
