LoftWerks, Inc. (LFWK) Announces IPO: Finalizes $3.5M Financing to Complete $40M Urban Residential Restoration Project
NASHVILLE, TN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- June 30, 2005 -- LoftWerks, Inc. (OTC: LFWK) today announces its presence in the public marketplace concurrent with the launch of its latest real estate venture; a complete transformation of an inner-city icon located in Nashville, TN., The Ambrose Building, into a Luxury High-Rise residential community worth an estimated $40M at completion.
Dennis Ammerman, Founder and CEO of Loftwerks, Inc., made the announcement while overseeing the project, which is well underway. The Ambrose Building is a century-old, Nashville Landmark that personifies the core operational paradigm of the company, namely the restoration of existing historical structures Into elegant, high-end residences imbued with the culture and local character of their urban surroundings.
Loftwerks has previously converted six older buildings in Detroit into highly desirable living spaces and will spend approximately $4.7 million to replicate its successful renovation model on "Ambrose," located at 162 Fourth Ave. N., in the heart of downtown Nashville.
"We're excited to enter the public arena as a means to raise awareness about our projects and Increase Loftwerks capitalization options. The ever increasing and 'affluently-stable' market for URBAN LOFTS is so compelling, we simply couldn't refuse the benefits of a public market vehicle, and the sometimes trying process now appears to be worth the effort," said Ammerman.
The Ambrose building will offer a mix of what lofts are all about, including exposed brick walls and large, exposed wooden beams. In addition, there will be roof decks, balconies and an atrium in the rear of the building.
Ammerman and Charles Loveman, a former Los Angeles City Planner, will spearhead the project with Nashville building owners Ambrose Associates. The project has garnered the attention and assistance of noted architect Eric Powers of the Franklin-based Innovations Group. He will design the building aided by resident Nashville architect Rob Cochran, a respected local consultant. Cochran has worked on a number of renovations and restorations and states that the building was constructed between 1890 and 1910. "The challenge," Cochran said, "is taking a building over 100 years old and turning it into something appealing and functional to the level of efficiency demanded by 21st-century usage while, simultaneously, preserving the historic integrity and cultural influences of the building's origin." Ammerman has planned a 1,600-square-foot sales and marketing office for LoftWerks, Inc. to anchor the first floor while the top floors of the four-story structure will be converted into thirty-plus condominiums ranging in size from 700 to 1,400 square feet. Consumer pricing for the units is estimated at $130,000 to $275,000.

(OTC: LFWK) CEO Dennis Ammerman appeared on "Nashville Business-This Week" to discuss company developments, and to showcase his business plan which presents a comprehensive approach to urban revitalization. The program, which was taped on August 12 and co-hosted by Holly Dollof and Geert de Lombaerde, aired five (5) times over the past weekend on Nashville station WTVF.
The show, which also included a segment with Nashville furnishings expert Jennifer Kocak, focused on the cutting edge of urban living in terms of individuality, design, and lifestyle in America's metropolitan areas. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to get the word out about LoftWerks (LFWK) and our emergence here in Nashville," said Ammerman. "We are integrating a previously disparate array of projects, services and products into the leading movement in metropolitan markets in this country. This includes anything from our physical restoration services to an on-line and catalog merchandising campaign created specifically for the urban/loft market, and even the future production and broadcast of a cable TV series which will highlight and promote the benefits of living in dynamic inner-city locales."
On the program, Ammerman discussed the founding of LoftWerks, its recent IPO, and his ideas concerning the development of a new, on-line and catalog-sales campaign that will offer the "essentials" to his burgeoning market of urbanites, including a furniture line, house wares, and other "survival-gear necessities" for the urban dweller. "I always appreciate the opportunity to convey our vision. Media is vital. Everyone willing to listen must have a chance to hear loud and clear. There is a whole lot more to this company than bricks and mortar... it's about all the things that make us the right thing at the right time."
LoftWerks, Inc. Announces JV With Consultech Construction Management, Inc.: $12M/3-yr. Consulting Services Agreement With Revenue Incentives

(OTC: LFWK) today announced a Joint Venture Agreement with Consultech Construction Management, Inc. that mandates a three-year term for design, planning, and consulting services in two target markets: one in Canada, the other in Europe (Germany).

The Agreement was finalized yesterday evening between LFWK CEO Dennis Ammerman and "CCM-Europe" Director General, Dr. Phil Roth, and will commence with a formal document-signing late next week.
"I cannot begin to utter the honor and gratitude of our organization toward Dr. Roth and all of Consultech," said Ammerman this morning. "Participation, at any level, with CCM is in-and-of-itself such an achievement that many would gladly pay to have but the memory of it."
CCM is one of only seven designated "Master Builders" on the North American Continent and in Europe. Their dealings span every aspect of Building and Development, from on-site services to finance and bond issuances. Their interests are global in scope, and this JV will place LoftWerks (LFWK) in an "international arena" that garners respect and a high profile in the industry.
"We've been intrigued by Dennis's passion and vision for urban renewal for some time now," said Dr. Roth of CCM-Europe. "And the results of his completed projects speak for themselves. When the opportunity arose for CCM to take on the logistics and artisanship of urban multi-housing refurbishing in two markets, we quite naturally called upon the broadest vision with uncompromising attention to detail that we knew. We called the best in Dennis and LoftWerks."
LoftWerks, Inc. CEO Ammerman Moves Forward on HGTV-Targeted Series: "Loft-Wise" to Shoot Second Pilot
Advertising Revenues Approach $1-3M According to Early Estimates
NASHVILLE, TN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- August 22, 2005 -- LoftWerks, Inc. (OTC: LFWK) CEO Dennis Ammerman announced today that he will move ahead with his plans to bring the vision of LoftWerks, Inc. to the broader market of America's television viewers. "Loft-Wise" will begin the production on a second pilot program that will garner slots on networks like HGTV, Discovery, and other cable specialty programs. The show will feature everything from the "before, during, and after" phases of Loft Construction ("Loftable Spaces") to "Urban Issues," to "Lofty Living" ...an ongoing portrait of unique and famous lofts and their often unique and famous owners. Full production leading up to airtime is slated for completion this Spring.
"Things are moving along so well with recent publicity, that all of us feel that the show is simply a continuance of that positive momentum," said Ammerman. "That idea of a natural progression to a larger audience is so very appealing as an owner. The Show becomes less a chore and more like an open microphone to strengthen our position as the leading authority on Urban Living.
Advertising will play a key role in the upcoming success of "Loft-Wise," primarily his own ads, which will feature key spin-offs that Ammerman has a headstart in developing, such as a furniture line that is designed for lofts and the often taller spaces they occupy. Other manufacturers and urban-service businesses will vie for the remaining ad-spaces on the show. Look for Ammerman to showcase his online and catalog merchandise sales as well. "When I said $150 million in 2006 I meant it," Ammerman touted. "I can't even begin to slow down the process of conceiving ancillary opportunities as we roll out this red carpet back to the inner city. We are so fortunate to be where we are. We will not waste a single opportunity ...not TV...not Print, not the nearest soapbox!"

Independent analysts involved with the Roosevelt project conservatively estimate its value at over $100 Million Dollars, in terms of property value, and surrounding community economic benefit. The Roosevelt Project is an example of Loveman's strategy for the procurement of highly specialized tax credits for companies that spur economic development in the communities in which they operate
Merrick Malone, of Washington, D.C., served simultaneously as Deputy Mayor for Economic Development and Director of Housing and Community Development from 1992 to 1996.

LoftWerks, Inc. CEO Vows to Conquer Anemic Market; Initiates Cost Analysis on $20M Private Funding; Issues New Mandate for Meticulous Audits and Shareholder Dividends
NASHVILLE, TN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- September 12, 2005 -- LoftWerks, Inc. (OTC: LFWK) CEO Dennis Ammerman announced today that anyone planning to flout LFWK stock in a "shorting position" would do so while bearing the full brunt of every available avenue of sound business development that will render them mute. "The small exchanges are plagued by this ludicrous and even perilous frenzy of negative influence," said Ammerman. "They've made a mistake this time, one that will cost them a great deal, and open the door to companies that rely solely on public market funding to reclaim their rightful roles of benefactor and driving force of true and accountable shareholder value."
Ammerman then stated that he had authorized the initial Cost Analysis of the projects driven by the recent windfall of a Private Placement Funding Agreement for $20M, as reported previously some days ago. Moreover, he mandated that, "It is an absolute goal of this organization to formally audit everything remotely resembling a number or value around here for the sole purpose of delivering a dividend to shareholders of this company.
"We will simply work these people out of the way," he said. "We will work harder and smarter and with the accuracy of audited financials. We will put this behind us permanently, and get on with the business of growing businesses...not mounds of stock certificates."
Ammerman issued the scathing remarks and stringent plans for reparations after witnessing for two weeks the deservedly remarkable volume of LFWK clash sideways with the programmed trades and unabashed profiting of unscrupulous small-cap opportunists.
"We're revolutionizing the inner city; we may as well revamp the way it does business," Ammerman concluded.

This loan, obtained through the efforts of Consultech Construction and its Director-General Petar Vucicevich, will be used to implement various aspects of LoftWerks' overall concept of advancing the revitalized urban lifestyle. "These three projects, and the use of private, third-party funding, are indicative of the approach we've forseen for years. It is crucial to our task of increasing shareholder value," said Ammerman. "Despite recent market conditions, we are confidant that our approach to third-party financing will instill shareholder viability in the long run, and will allow us bring all of the segments of our overall urban lifestyle vision to the public."

"We want to be the cutting-edge destination for those folks who are pioneering the revitalization of the new urban landscape."

LoftWerks, Inc. Explains and Defines: "Short Seller Captured Capital"
NASHVILLE, TN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 13, 2006 -- CEO Dennis Ammerman reiterated today that anyone planning to flout LFWK (OTC: LFWK) stock in a "shorting position" would do so while bearing the full brunt of every available resource at the company's disposal that can be aimed to render them mute. "The small exchanges are plagued by this ludicrous and even perilous frenzy of negative influence," said Ammerman, " We can help open the door to companies that rely solely on public market funding to reclaim their rightful roles of benefactor and driving force of true and accountable shareholder value."
-- LoftWerks' share structure is: 500 million shares Authorized.
-- 200 million of these shares are held in treasury for M & As and Dennis Ammerman owns 100 million shares that are Restricted.
The share structure will be posted at www.loftwerks.com by March 14, 2006. The Pink Sheets website will be updated by Tuesday March 14th, 2006.
CEO Dennis Ammerman stated; "Insiders decided to buy more shares than are legally available. There is no stock definition for this type of buying; therefore, we created our own definition. We call it 'Short Seller Captured Capital.' Insiders have expressed interest in selling blocks of shares back to the company at a later date. The shares can be introduce back into the market after LoftWerks' plans are executed, and the short sellers can complete their buy-in at a much higher price. Short Seller Captured Capital will prevent dilution of the current shareholders' value while providing insulation to the current shareholder from the effects of high-volume sell-offs."
Shares issued through the current open Rule 504 paper filing for merger expenses are issued at the closing ask price on the day of issuance.
LFWK is on schedule to complete the merger with Sulja Bros. Building Supplies. LTD., the primary distribution arm of Consultech's Midwest operations, as planned. Sulja Brothers will serve as the centralized and primary distributor of materials for all future projects. A twenty-four year old business, Sulja Bros. has achieved increasing revenues since its inception that now average over $30M annually. The company currently has assets totaling more than $25M. After merging with Sulja Bros. Building Supplies, Ltd., LFWK will finalize the full reverse transaction with Consultech Construction Management, Inc.'s Midwest office. Consultech Construction Management is currently in negotiations with federal, state, and local officials to procure storm-relief contracting services outside Biloxi, Mississippi. More details will be released at a later date.
LoftWerks, Inc. Contemplates Regular Dividends
NASHVILLE, TN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 13, 2006 -- LoftWerks (OTC: LFWK) CEO Dennis Ammerman and a Consultech company representative are currently reviewing a plan to issue regular dividends to stockholders.
The plan calls for a regular quarterly dividend of $0.0025. The 300 million shares represented by Consultech and LFWK CEO Dennis Ammerman will return the dividend to the company's Operations Accounts. Two Insiders that represent 86 million shares have agreed to return the dividend to the company as well.
CEO Dennis Ammerman announced today, "The dividend is being designed to minimize effects to company profits yet incur maximum damage to the short position in our stock. Consultech and Company Insiders understand that the money spent on the dividend is necessary to achieve a reasonable fair market share evaluation for all stockholders." Two insiders, representing more than 86M shares have already agreed to return the dividend to the company. The total share count enumerated for the dividend return to LFWK operations, and subsequently Consultech, is 386M shares of the 500M Authorized.
The remaining 114 million shares will receive a $0.0025 per share dividend. LFWK estimates an equal number of short shares that will also receive the dividend. Ammerman stated, "So far, it looks like a matching dividend program from the short sellers. Every dollar the company issues, in dividend form will be matched by the short sellers. If the short sellers refuse to pay the dividend, their identity will be revealed in the 'payment in-lieu paperwork.'"
LFWK expects that the efficiencies introduced by Sulja Bros. Building Supplies' new role as exclusive supplier will pay for the dividend. Ammerman commented: "The savings from removing a middle-man supplier by using Sulja Brothers as the exclusive materials source directly and positively affects the LoftWerks bottom line. After the merger, this margin will still be realized by the company. Redirecting new profit to shareholder dividends is, in essence, another wash. The dividend plan serves but to increase shareholder value."

The result is a stronger capital base for the present and future operations of this company. I want also to inform our shareholders that plans are, as always, moving forward with our relationships with Sulja Bros. and Consultech. We anticipate no delays. The financial reports for LFWK and Sulja Bros., which include revenues, net profits, and enumerated assets, have been released. I believe that the sound judgment of our shareholders will again carry the day as they agree with us that value brought about by the collective planning and hard work of dedicated colleagues far out strips the diminutive gnattings of annoying parasitical profiteers."
LFWK is in the process of securing two new buildings in Louisville, KY. The collective purchase price is $3.98M. The estimated net profit upon project completion is $1.8M.

WINDSOR, ON--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 22, 2006 -- Sulja Brothers Building Supplies, Ltd. (Other OTC:SLJB.PK - News) announced today that the company is releasing the current share structure to the investing public. Sulja Bros. currently has 800 million shares authorized with 500 million shares outstanding. All share counts have been rounded to the nearest million.
CEO Steve Sulja stated: "The current outstanding shares are 500 million. There are 362 million shares held by insiders. Of the 362 million insider shares, 162 million are restricted. There are 138 million shares in the public float. The number of inside owners, of 10% of common class shares, decreased after the reverse merger. The increase of outstanding shares from 200 million to 500 million excluded holders of 20 to 50 million shares from insider status. Basically, three insiders with 40 million shares from the open market did not meet the 10% of class rule; therefore, they are no longer considered insiders."

Sulja Bros. Building Supplies Ltd. CEO Resolves Question of Share Accountability
Thursday September 21, 2006 3:29 pm ET
WINDSOR, ON--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 21, 2006 -- Sulja Bros. Building Supplies Ltd. (Other OTC:SLJB.PK - News) CEO Petar Vucicevich today spoke directly to questions concerning clerical error in share distribution following merger.
"The clerical error that occurred in transferring restricted shares to the company's new ownership as 'control-block' issuances has been addressed and is now reconciled with the Transfer Agent and the State of Nevada. The physical certificate was located while in transit and is already cancelled at the Transfer Agent level (even prior to its arrival). The State of Nevada has been made aware of the now eminent change in the share quantity and is receiving documentation that will allow them to proceed with the publication of the proper and original authorized share count. We apologize for the error and any ensuing turmoil this may have caused. It was a mistake. We have repaired it. It will post as instantaneously as priority transport postal service and state administrative offices can move to reflect our correction." Mr. Vucicevich further hopes that this statement will resolve and conclude this unfortunate event.

We apologize for the delay but we have taken the liberty to decide that posting complete and all-inclusive financials audits would be a better course of action rather than hastening to complete only portions of it.

SLJB One of the Most Highly Traded Stocks in North America: CEO Responds to Negative Journalism
Thursday November 16, 12:26 pm ET
WINDSOR, ON--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 16, 2006 -- Sulja Bros. Building Supplies Ltd. (Other OTC:SLJB.PK - News) today is responding to an article published in the Windsor Star, a newspaper local to the headquarters of SLJB. What follows is a statement from the CEO of SLJB, Mr. Petar Vucicevich:
As the most recent newspaper article printed in the Windsor Star might illustrate, I find myself having to waste an enormous amount of time explaining to our shareholders certain quips and accusations about my personal idiosyncrasies and character deficiencies that are simply not productive in the light of our everyday business. It is clear that this article attempts to portray me in a less then flattering way, and if Mr. Gary Rennie (author of the article) is left to expound these utterly boring and cookie-cutter floggings within the mill of journalistic sensationalism, the attempt would appear to be succeeding. For reasons beyond my understanding, Mr. Rennie, the author of this piece, seemingly does not like me very much, and perhaps he feels he has stumbled onto something worthy of his experience-tempered scathing. Referring to me as "Black Pete," making reference to the vehicle I drive, and lamenting over the state of the appearance of my office by alerting everyone... everywhere... that there was "furniture tipped over" serves no purpose in presenting the truth of our company's business. This type of "spin-doctoring" not only portrays me as shady (something to which I normally would not personally concern myself), but it also encourages our shareholders to think something is scandalous, and in fact, deliberate in its intent to be so. Mr. Rennie had many opportunities to visit our Harrow operations and provide many pictures of a busy and successful enterprise but chose to show a photo of me... and I happen to think the Harrow staff is more photogenic...
As far as the current dilapidative state of Kore's office in Windsor, anybody walking into that place would clearly see that it is under renovations... a complete make-over no less. It is undergoing the same process that I and many other business owners in that area feel should be applied to a great number of structures in the immediate vicinity. Perhaps it is not as nice an office as Mr. Rennie's but I like it. You would think that the appearance of such scarcity and dishevelment would please him knowing that I am not allowing my "flamboyance" to dictate my business decisions. The fact that the office is understaffed at this time is due to the renovation... and not a lack of substance or employees in our dealings, as implied.
In response to the RCMP officers with whom I met, I made it clear to Mr. Rennie that this was explained to me as a routine investigation, and that every new company offering shares in the market is subject to this type of review, particularly if the company's shares were reaching volume benchmarks on the exchange. I personally provided this information to Mr. Rennie, including the investigators' names. Clearly, I was not being evasive in any way during my interview. In fact, I can say with certainty that most of the information in the article was provided by me. I am sorry to feel compelled to aver to the public that the information was simply presented poorly and in a self-serving, grandstanding manor. I would have hoped that a respectable organization like the Windsor Star would have been a little more considerate of the facts prior to publishing these statements. Although all the "facts" are true, the clearly evident misrepresentation of them in the article serves no other purpose than the same monotonous sensationalism seen in nearly every publication in North America.
Finally, we released information recently regarding our audited financials and their availability to the public viewing. We missed the deadline... due in part to the necessity of handling negative accusations such as the one I speak to now. As soon as is practicably foreseeable, we will release the financial documents for all to see, as promised. For we have nothing to hide, as always. And we have no desire to hide "all of that nothing."

Building Supplies Ltd. A spokesman said, "A mutual agreement has been reached between Sulja Bros. Building Supplies Ltd. and Petar Vucicevich which will facilitate his resignation. In light of recent press, we all felt that it would be best for the company and all the shareholders that Steve Sulja, a current director of Sulja Bros. Building Supplies Ltd., be reinstated as CEO effective immediately. Sulja Bros. Building Supplies Ltd. in no way endorses the allegations made against Petar Vucicevich, and we are thankful for the work that Mr. Vucicevich has done for our organization." Steve Sulja stated, "After numerous meetings in the past five days, it was simply felt that I accept his two month premature resignation. Along with Petar Vucicevich, Kore International Management Inc. will no longer have a roll in the management process of SLJB.
"Mr. Vucicevich has insisted all documentation and communication involving Mr. Vucicevich, SLJB shareholders, transfer agent, and all other parties involved regarding SLJB be provided to our attorneys for their review.
"I will hold the position of CEO until such time as a new board of directors can be elected by our shareholders, as laid out by Mr. Vucicevich. I ask you to be patient with me, as I will be posting a statement shortly. Mr. Vucicevich also assures us that he will remain available in the future for all questions, should it arise. I apologize, I will not be taking any phone calls at this present time, we will be communicating with our shareholders strictly through our website, and through our press releases. We all feel that this is an unfortunate turn of events, and hope that this will restore confidence in our shareholders of SLJB."
Sulja Bros. Confirm Acquisition of Sam Building Materials as Previously Stated
Friday November 24, 9:11 am ET
WINDSOR, ON--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 24, 2006 -- Sulja Bros. Building Supplies Limited (Other OTC:SLJB.PK - News), today dismisses reports published in the Windsor Star that claim that the acquisition of Sam Building Material has not been closed. The deal has been completed and all assets and employees have been rolled into the Sulja family. No one was laid off.
A spokesperson stated, "Their entire inventory including trucks and other fixed assets have been acquired by Sulja's and we have been functioning as one for more than a month now. The property is a lease but everything else is solid assets. We want to dispel the reports that have been published in the Windsor Star; it seems as Gary Rennie, reporter from the Windsor Star has a personal vendetta against our company and its management."
Mario Moretto, President of Sam Building Materials, agreed with Sulja Bros. and stated, "Since October 2nd, we have been working under the Sulja banner. The purchase was completed and the documents are with our lawyers. I have spoken to no one from the Windsor Star, and I am uncertain to where they are getting their inaccurate information from. I want to state again that the deal has been finalized and everyone is very pleased with the result."
"The take over was seamless and everyone is happy with it. We have been conducting business normally and without hindrance since October. We plan on continuing as such and on expanding our business despite efforts of those outside our organization trying to derail our efforts for reasons unknown to us," the spokesperson said.
SLJB -- Synergy Between Former CEO and New Team Is Formidable Against Criticisms
Wednesday November 29, 9:15 am ET
WINDSOR, ON--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 29, 2006 -- Sulja Bros. Building Supplies Ltd. (Other OTC:SLJB.PK - News) today is responding to recent events and shareholder concerns. What follows is a statement from the CEO of SLJB, Mr. Steve Sulja and the current management team now set in place to carry on with the vision of the corporation:
As previously set forth for public scrutiny, this company is currently forwarding all relevant documents and authorizations for streamlined distribution of pertinent public information to our accountants and attorneys, who will serve as the sole source of information deemed necessary and completely accurate for the public. The Officers and Directors of SLJB want to express their steadfast alliance with the vision and goals of its former CEO and vow to continue in the same light to achieve these objectives in the near future and in the long-run of our operations. Basically, SLJB is aimed still toward new levels of shareholder value and a presence on broader, more prominent exchanges, goals directly relayed from former CEO Petar Vucicevich and taken on as both solid business objectives and as support for the former company leader.
SLJB Management also re-stated that the current onslaught of negative press and its deleterious effects on every aspect of our day-to-day business and, we believe, the injurious downturn on our current share-price is nothing more than pointed sensationalism and an unprovoked tirade serving none but the names of those who would set them forth.
As ever, Petar Vucicevich has ensured the Company that he stands behind SLJB to lend support and guidance for the new team and the Company. His purpose is to promote a smooth transition for the newly inundated management team and to ensure the continued success of the Company, both publicly and internally.
The Company believes that in five short months, an operation has been built that anyone would be proud of, something for our children to know that our team helped to build, and no one here feels at all different, despite the poorly organized drivel of envious onlookers. These onlookers will become even more diffused as the public observes how stringently the Company adheres to upcoming stricter guidelines and compliance issues set forth on the Pink Sheets and larger exchanges in the near future. We will exceed the minimum requirements of these regulations.
In conclusion, the Company announced that it has secured a position at a globally renowned exposition, and to date they are in fact the only North American delegate attending: Project Lebanon 2007 will be held 2/27-3/3 2007 at the Beirut International Exhibition and Leisure Center. This expo represents a market that expects to exceed $3 billion over the next three years. SLJB has positioned itself to garner as much of that market share as is possible. The expo coincides with the Company's completion of all of the service requirements and licensing procedures to open an office in the country operating as SLJB and subsequent offices in the region that will also conduct business under the SLJB title, a move that will make transparent the true ownership and management of the Company's operations overseas.
SLJB Issues Correction for Unintentional Mis-Statement: September 05, 2006 Press Release Retracted
Tuesday December 5, 12:44 am ET
WINDSOR, ON--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 5, 2006 -- A Sulja Bros. Building Supplies (Other OTC:SLJB.PK - News) spokesperson announced a clarification of its September 05, 2006 press release. SLJB made a mistake in the wording and in the timing of the release. Although the statements were made honestly and from the most up-to-date information available to the company at the time, circumstances far beyond the control of SLJB and occurring nearly simultaneously with the completion of the release now serve to have the Company take pause and recant the information. This effort has been put forth previously in the Statement of former CEO Petar Vucicevich on the corporate web site, www.suljabros.com. However, in light of recent questions concerning the press release, the Company is compelled to state in no uncertain terms that the concrete commodities mentioned in that release and the corresponding transaction were indeed cancelled and no contract, even if drafted to finality, was consummated. SLJB hopes that this statement serves to provide a final concurrence or addendum to the entire issue.
The September 05, 2006 press release follows below, presented in its entirety:

A spokesperson for the company said today the SLJB has had its first success in dealing with one of these scandalous persons and are now in the position of collecting damages tied to the outcome of the legal proceedings which followed the identification of the guilty party through the discovery of their IP (internet protocol) address that they utilized to post their unsupported and slanderous attacks on both business and personal issues involving the company.
"We can almost consider this a new source of revenue for our company," the spokesperson joked. "There are a lot of people on the hook for this non-sense, and we know who they are. We also know the platforms from where they attack our people and our organization. We will bring them all to like terms," the spokesperson continued.
The Company wanted to state its gratitude to its shareholders through this difficult time for their patience and understanding. SLJB will now move forward and only forward toward its original and still noteworthy goals it set in the beginning of this IPO initiative.
We made promises to shareholders and to longstanding business partners. We intend to keep them, and no one or no group will deter us from this ever.

SLJB CEO Set to Travel: Alberta Boom Thought a Potential Target for Satellite Outlet
Wednesday April 18, 6:00 am ET
LAS VEGAS, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 18, 2007 -- Today, SLJB (Other OTC:SLJB.PK - News) announced that the Company's CEO Steve Sulja will travel to Alberta and nearby areas with a few trusted advisors to meet with contractors known to the SLJB business and others to explore the idea of opening a satellite in the region, and also to meet with the area mill representatives and owners to discuss and negotiate metric dimensional lumber production; a highly sought after commodity in regions beyond North America. So high is the request for said commodity among foreign markets, that the feasibility of supply is compulsory for the consideration of the Company and its future logistics. Mr. Sulja's trip is tentatively planned for next week.
"It is no big secret that Alberta is booming in terms of construction, infrastructure, and base-level economic staples consumption. This region is one of North America's most aggressively growing areas in every measurable way. I'd like to see if SLJB can be a part of that (growth) and if the products and services we provide can benefit the company and the area," said Sulja.
Alberta's Premier, Mr. Ed Stelmach, has gone as far to say that Alberta's economy has again reached the prominence of being "the driving force behind the economy of all Canada." Mr. Stelmach has dedicated the lion's share of his tenure as Premiere to managing this explosive economy in terms of its impact on future generations of Albertans.
Although there is nothing mandating the move to Alberta, Sulja is hopeful that the trip will bear positive light on the opportunity for SLJB. Shareholders will be kept apprised of any and all developments concerning this possible venture.
LAS VEGAS, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 26, 2007 -- Today a SLJB (Other OTC:SLJB.PK - News) spokesperson announced that the Company's CEO Steve Sulja will travel to Alberta on Monday, April 30, 2007. Mr. Mian Siddiq, the Company CFO will be accompanying Mr. Steve Sulja on his travels. Their agenda and goals for this trip are as follows:
1) To meet and discuss with area mill representatives and owners to negotiate metric dimensional lumber production for projected exports to foreign markets.
2) To negotiate pricing for North America operations.
3) To negotiate lease for new location in Calgary, AB.
CEO Steve Sulja added, "There will be some management changes in the company effective as of the first of May, 2007. Mr. Ron Coates, who has been our Sales Manager at SLJB, has been promoted not only Sales Manager in our area, but now appointed General Manager for all SLJB operations."
Leslie Budway will continue her role in the company as our Credit Analysis Manager. In addition she will now take on the task of being or in-house Investor Relation Department. We have decided to do an in-house Investor Relation as opposed to have an outside firm in an attempt to preserve shareholder confidence. This route was decided based on the fact that many outside IR Firms that we contacted wanted to be paid in shares, not money. We did not feel that this was fair to our shareholders when they could possibly "pump and dump" SLJB shares, causing instability and uncertainty amongst our shareholders.
Finally we would like to announce that we have requested our lawyers and they have agreed to depart today for the Middle East, to meet with our lawyers and agents in the region, in attempt to complete long outstanding deals.
We continually thank our Shareholders for their continuous support.
LoftWerks, Inc. (LFWK) Announces IPO: Finalizes $3.5M Financing to Complete $40M Urban Residential Restoration Project
NASHVILLE, TN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- June 30, 2005 -- LoftWerks, Inc. (OTC: LFWK) today announces its presence in the public marketplace concurrent with the launch of its latest real estate venture; a complete transformation of an inner-city icon located in Nashville, TN., The Ambrose Building, into a Luxury High-Rise residential community worth an estimated $40M at completion.
Dennis Ammerman, Founder and CEO of Loftwerks, Inc., made the announcement while overseeing the project, which is well underway. The Ambrose Building is a century-old, Nashville Landmark that personifies the core operational paradigm of the company, namely the restoration of existing historical structures Into elegant, high-end residences imbued with the culture and local character of their urban surroundings.
Loftwerks has previously converted six older buildings in Detroit into highly desirable living spaces and will spend approximately $4.7 million to replicate its successful renovation model on "Ambrose," located at 162 Fourth Ave. N., in the heart of downtown Nashville.
"We're excited to enter the public arena as a means to raise awareness about our projects and Increase Loftwerks capitalization options. The ever increasing and 'affluently-stable' market for URBAN LOFTS is so compelling, we simply couldn't refuse the benefits of a public market vehicle, and the sometimes trying process now appears to be worth the effort," said Ammerman.
The Ambrose building will offer a mix of what lofts are all about, including exposed brick walls and large, exposed wooden beams. In addition, there will be roof decks, balconies and an atrium in the rear of the building.
Ammerman and Charles Loveman, a former Los Angeles City Planner, will spearhead the project with Nashville building owners Ambrose Associates. The project has garnered the attention and assistance of noted architect Eric Powers of the Franklin-based Innovations Group. He will design the building aided by resident Nashville architect Rob Cochran, a respected local consultant. Cochran has worked on a number of renovations and restorations and states that the building was constructed between 1890 and 1910. "The challenge," Cochran said, "is taking a building over 100 years old and turning it into something appealing and functional to the level of efficiency demanded by 21st-century usage while, simultaneously, preserving the historic integrity and cultural influences of the building's origin." Ammerman has planned a 1,600-square-foot sales and marketing office for LoftWerks, Inc. to anchor the first floor while the top floors of the four-story structure will be converted into thirty-plus condominiums ranging in size from 700 to 1,400 square feet.

The show, which also included a segment with Nashville furnishings expert Jennifer Kocak, focused on the cutting edge of urban living in terms of individuality, design, and lifestyle in America's metropolitan areas. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to get the word out about LoftWerks (LFWK) and our emergence here in Nashville," said Ammerman. "We are integrating a previously disparate array of projects, services and products into the leading movement in metropolitan markets in this country. This includes anything from our physical restoration services to an on-line and catalog merchandising campaign created specifically for the urban/loft market, and even the future production and broadcast of a cable TV series which will highlight and promote the benefits of living in dynamic inner-city locales."
On the program, Ammerman discussed the founding of LoftWerks, its recent IPO, and his ideas concerning the development of a new, on-line and catalog-sales campaign that will offer the "essentials" to his burgeoning market of urbanites, including a furniture line, house wares, and other "survival-gear necessities" for the urban dweller. "I always appreciate the opportunity to convey our vision. Media is vital. Everyone willing to listen must have a chance to hear loud and clear. There is a whole lot more to this company than bricks and mortar... it's about all the things that make us the right thing at the right time."

"I cannot begin to utter the honor and gratitude of our organization toward Dr. Roth and all of Consultech," said Ammerman this morning. "Participation, at any level, with CCM is in-and-of-itself such an achievement that many would gladly pay to have but the memory of it."
CCM is one of only seven designated "Master Builders" on the North American Continent and in Europe. Their dealings span every aspect of Building and Development, from on-site services to finance and bond issuances. Their interests are global in scope, and this JV will place LoftWerks (LFWK) in an "international arena" that garners respect and a high profile in the industry.
"We've been intrigued by Dennis's passion and vision for urban renewal for some time now," said Dr. Roth of CCM-Europe. "And the results of his completed projects speak for themselves. When the opportunity arose for CCM to take on the logistics and artisanship of urban multi-housing refurbishing in two markets, we quite naturally called upon the broadest vision with uncompromising attention to detail that we knew.

LoftWerks, Inc. CEO Ammerman Moves Forward on HGTV-Targeted Series: "Loft-Wise" to Shoot Second Pilot
Advertising Revenues Approach $1-3M According to Early Estimates
NASHVILLE, TN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- August 22, 2005 -- LoftWerks, Inc.

"Loft-Wise" will begin the production on a second pilot program that will garner slots on networks like HGTV, Discovery, and other cable specialty programs. The show will feature everything from the "before, during, and after" phases of Loft Construction ("Loftable Spaces") to "Urban Issues," to "Lofty Living" ...an ongoing portrait of unique and famous lofts and their often unique and famous owners. Full production leading up to airtime is slated for completion this Spring.
"Things are moving along so well with recent publicity, that all of us feel that the show is simply a continuance of that positive momentum," said Ammerman. "That idea of a natural progression to a larger audience is so very appealing as an owner. The Show becomes less a chore and more like an open microphone to strengthen our position as the leading authority on Urban Living.
Advertising will play a key role in the upcoming success of "Loft-Wise," primarily his own ads, which will feature key spin-offs that Ammerman has a headstart in developing, such as a furniture line that is designed for lofts and the often taller spaces they occupy. Other manufacturers and urban-service businesses will vie for the remaining ad-spaces on the show. Look for Ammerman to showcase his online and catalog merchandise sales as well. "When I said $150 million in 2006 I meant it," Ammerman touted. "I can't even begin to slow down the process of conceiving ancillary opportunities as we roll out this red carpet back to the inner city. We are so fortunate to be where we are. We will not waste a single opportunity ...not TV...not Print, not the nearest soapbox!"

LoftWerks, Inc. CEO Vows to Conquer Anemic Market; Initiates Cost Analysis on $20M Private Funding; Issues New Mandate for Meticulous Audits and Shareholder Dividends
NASHVILLE, TN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- September 12, 2005 -- LoftWerks, Inc. (OTC: LFWK) CEO Dennis Ammerman announced today that anyone planning to flout LFWK stock in a "shorting position" would do so while bearing the full brunt of every available avenue of sound business development that will render them mute. "The small exchanges are plagued by this ludicrous and even perilous frenzy of negative influence," said Ammerman. "They've made a mistake this time, one that will cost them a great deal, and open the door to companies that rely solely on public market funding to reclaim their rightful roles of benefactor and driving force of true and accountable shareholder value."
Ammerman then stated that he had authorized the initial Cost Analysis of the projects driven by the recent windfall of a Private Placement Funding Agreement for $20M, as reported previously some days ago. Moreover, he mandated that, "It is an absolute goal of this organization to formally audit everything remotely resembling a number or value around here for the sole purpose of delivering a dividend to shareholders of this company.
"We will simply work these people out of the way," he said. "We will work harder and smarter and with the accuracy of audited financials. We will put this behind us permanently, and get on with the business of growing businesses...not mounds of stock certificates."
Ammerman issued the scathing remarks and stringent plans for reparations after witnessing for two weeks the deservedly remarkable volume of LFWK clash sideways with the programmed trades and unabashed profiting of unscrupulous small-cap opportunists.
"We're revolutionizing the inner city; we may as well revamp the way it does business," Ammerman concluded.

LoftWerks Advances New On-Line Catalogue Venture: Design Selections Underway for Contemporary Furniture Line
NASHVILLE, TN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- December 02, 2005 -- LoftWerks, Inc. (OTC: LFWK) announces today that it has teamed with an interior design company to begin organizing the various furniture lines for its LoftWise furniture and fixtures catalogue. Thus far, over 30 unique, contemporary and modern lines are being considered. Many of the manufacturers are either new to the U.S. market or have only very limited products at select retail centers. These lines are from around the globe and will present the current and future trends in home furnishings. "Our criteria is to offer complete design selection to both the urban dweller and/or contemporary or modern home owner. The look and design of these pieces, from couches to tables to lighting, are unlike anything else on the market," said Dennis Ammerman, CEO of LoftWerks.
The introduction of the furniture line and the accompanying catalogue are part of LoftWerks' overall strategy of promoting and developing the complete new urban lifestyle. "As we have developed our urban revitalization projects over the last several years, we have noticed a real lack of any coherent and easily accessed source for the urban loft dweller who is seeking furniture and fixtures uniquely suited to the new urban lifestyle," said Ammerman. "We want to be the cutting-edge destination for those folks who are pioneering the revitalization of the new urban landscape."

LoftWerks Announces Merger Initiation With Consultech: Sulja Bros. Building Supplies, LTD. to Be Primary Distributor for Post-Merger Projects
NASHVILLE, TN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 03, 2006 -- LoftWerks, Inc. (OTC: LFWK) today announced that the first phase of its merger with Consultech Construction Management, Inc. has been initiated. Sulja Bros. Building Supplies, LTD., the primary distribution arm of Consultech's midwest operations has begun merger protocols with LFWK. The move solidifies the certainty of Consultech's imminent migration into the LFWK public vehicle. Sulja Brothers will serve as the centralized and primary distributor of materials for all future projects. A twenty-four year old business, Sulja Bros. has achieved steadily increasing revenues since its inception that now average over $30M annually. The company currently has assets totaling more than $25M. It is projected that once Sulja Bros. settles into its new role, revenues could top out at the $200M+ within twenty-four months. The increased inventory alone could place the company's assets at over $125M.
LoftWerks CEO Dennis Ammerman stated that the primary reasons for selecting Sulja Bros. for this position were its lengthy tenure in the industry, and the company's ability to retain its large and loyal customer base at percentages practically unheard of in industries across the board -- particularly in the construction industry where builders and sub-contractors invariably target the lowest prices for materials.
A spokesperson for Consultech Construction Management fully condoned the Sulja migration. Consultech has owned the business for nearly ten years and stated that this particular appointment consolidates the three primary aspects of the industry: materials, design and management.

NASHVILLE, TN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 06, 2006 -- LoftWerk's (OTC: LFWK) CEO Dennis Ammerman reiterated today that anyone planning to flout LFWK stock in a shorting position would do so while bearing the full brunt of every available resource aimed to render them mute. "The small exchanges are plagued by this ludicrous and even perilous frenzy of negative influence," said Ammerman. "They've made a mistake this time; one that will cost them a great deal, and open the door to companies that rely solely on public market funding to reclaim their rightful roles of benefactor and driving force of true and accountable shareholder value."
The stock holdings of LFWK insiders currently exceed the number of outstanding shares that the company has issued to date. CEO Dennis Ammerman reiterates, "We must work to squeeze these people out of the way. We will work harder and smarter to put this behind us permanently, and get on with the business of growing businesses and not mounds of stock certificates.
"We are not sure how LFWK stock trades tens of millions of shares each day when our own insiders own millions of shares more than the outstanding shares issued; however, our focus must remain that of commercial viability and not equity market predilections if we are to truly benefit our shareholders and complete the merger with Sulja Bros. Building Supplies, LTD., the primary distribution arm of Consultech Construction Management, Inc. Midwest operations, as planned," said Ammerman.
Sulja Brothers will serve as the centralized and primary distributor of materials for all future projects.

LoftWerks, Inc. Contemplates Regular Dividends
NASHVILLE, TN -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 13, 2006 -- LoftWerks (OTC: LFWK) CEO Dennis Ammerman and a Consultech company representative are currently reviewing a plan to issue regular dividends to stockholders.
The plan calls for a regular quarterly dividend of $0.0025. The 300 million shares represented by Consultech and LFWK CEO Dennis Ammerman will return the dividend to the company's Operations Accounts. Two Insiders that represent 86 million shares have agreed to return the dividend to the company as well.
CEO Dennis Ammerman announced today, "The dividend is being designed to minimize effects to company profits yet incur maximum damage to the short position in our stock. Consultech and Company Insiders understand that the money spent on the dividend is necessary to achieve a reasonable fair market share evaluation for all stockholders." Two insiders, representing more than 86M shares have already agreed to return the dividend to the company. The total share count enumerated for the dividend return to LFWK operations, and subsequently Consultech, is 386M shares of the 500M Authorized.
The remaining 114 million shares will receive a $0.0025 per share dividend. LFWK estimates an equal number of short shares that will also receive the dividend. Ammerman stated, "So far, it looks like a matching dividend program from the short sellers. Every dollar the company issues, in dividend form will be matched by the short sellers. If the short sellers refuse to pay the dividend, their identity will be revealed in the 'payment in-lieu paperwork.'"
LFWK expects that the efficiencies introduced by Sulja Bros. Building Supplies' new role as exclusive supplier will pay for the dividend. Ammerman commented: "The savings from removing a middle-man supplier by using Sulja Brothers as the exclusive materials source directly and positively affects the LoftWerks bottom line. After the merger, this margin will still be realized by the company. Redirecting new profit to shareholder dividends is, in essence, another wash. The dividend plan serves but to increase shareholder value."

Monday September 25, 2006 3:08 pm ET
WINDSOR, ON--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 25, 2006 -- Sulja Bros. Building Supplies Ltd. (Other OTC:SLJB.PK - News) releases updates to shareholders on the delay of the audit.
Sulja Bros. today announced that there will be a slight delay in posting the audited financials as stated in previous press release in order to conform with proper accounting practices. A company spokesperson stated, "The delay is nothing to worry about, we want to make sure that when the audits are posted they are done properly and make complete sense. Since these audits include North American companies and figures generated from the Middle East operations, we had to make sure that all companies under the Sulja Bros. umbrella operation are taken in consideration. Also, we have to ensure that these final audits meet all necessary standards and legal requirements as stated in all these different regions. We apologize for the delay but we have taken the liberty to decide that posting complete and all-inclusive financials audits would be a better course of action rather than hastening to complete only portions of it.
"We understand the frustration that our shareholders might feel and apologize again for this delay."

SLJB One of the Most Highly Traded Stocks in North America: CEO Responds to Negative Journalism
Thursday November 16, 12:26 pm ET
WINDSOR, ON--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 16, 2006 -- Sulja Bros. Building Supplies Ltd. (Other OTC:SLJB.PK - News) today is responding to an article published in the Windsor Star, a newspaper local to the headquarters of SLJB. What follows is a statement from the CEO of SLJB, Mr. Petar Vucicevich:
As the most recent newspaper article printed in the Windsor Star might illustrate, I find myself having to waste an enormous amount of time explaining to our shareholders certain quips and accusations about my personal idiosyncrasies and character deficiencies that are simply not productive in the light of our everyday business. It is clear that this article attempts to portray me in a less then flattering way, and if Mr. Gary Rennie (author of the article) is left to expound these utterly boring and cookie-cutter floggings within the mill of journalistic sensationalism, the attempt would appear to be succeeding. For reasons beyond my understanding, Mr. Rennie, the author of this piece, seemingly does not like me very much, and perhaps he feels he has stumbled onto something worthy of his experience-tempered scathing. Referring to me as "Black Pete," making reference to the vehicle I drive, and lamenting over the state of the appearance of my office by alerting everyone... everywhere... that there was "furniture tipped over" serves no purpose in presenting the truth of our company's business. This type of "spin-doctoring" not only portrays me as shady (something to which I normally would not personally concern myself), but it also encourages our shareholders to think something is scandalous, and in fact, deliberate in its intent to be so. Mr. Rennie had many opportunities to visit our Harrow operations and provide many pictures of a busy and successful enterprise but chose to show a photo of me... and I happen to think the Harrow staff is more photogenic...
As far as the current dilapidative state of Kore's office in Windsor, anybody walking into that place would clearly see that it is under renovations... a complete make-over no less. It is undergoing the same process that I and many other business owners in that area feel should be applied to a great number of structures in the immediate vicinity. Perhaps it is not as nice an office as Mr. Rennie's but I like it. You would think that the appearance of such scarcity and dishevelment would please him knowing that I am not allowing my "flamboyance" to dictate my business decisions. The fact that the office is understaffed at this time is due to the renovation... and not a lack of substance or employees in our dealings, as implied.
In response to the RCMP officers with whom I met, I made it clear to Mr. Rennie that this was explained to me as a routine investigation, and that every new company offering shares in the market is subject to this type of review, particularly if the company's shares were reaching volume benchmarks on the exchange. I personally provided this information to Mr. Rennie, including the investigators' names. Clearly, I was not being evasive in any way during my interview. In fact, I can say with certainty that most of the information in the article was provided by me. I am sorry to feel compelled to aver to the public that the information was simply presented poorly and in a self-serving, grandstanding manor. I would have hoped that a respectable organization like the Windsor Star would have been a little more considerate of the facts prior to publishing these statements. Although all the "facts" are true, the clearly evident misrepresentation of them in the article serves no other purpose than the same monotonous sensationalism seen in nearly every publication in North America.
Finally, we released information recently regarding our audited financials and their availability to the public viewing. We missed the deadline... due in part to the necessity of handling negative accusations such as the one I speak to now. As soon as is practicably foreseeable, we will release the financial documents for all to see, as promised. For we have nothing to hide, as always. And we have no desire to hide "all of that nothing."

Building Supplies Ltd. A spokesman said, "A mutual agreement has been reached between Sulja Bros. Building Supplies Ltd. and Petar Vucicevich which will facilitate his resignation. In light of recent press, we all felt that it would be best for the company and all the shareholders that Steve Sulja, a current director of Sulja Bros. Building Supplies Ltd., be reinstated as CEO effective immediately. Sulja Bros. Building Supplies Ltd. in no way endorses the allegations made against Petar Vucicevich, and we are thankful for the work that Mr. Vucicevich has done for our organization." Steve Sulja stated, "After numerous meetings in the past five days, it was simply felt that I accept his two month premature resignation. Along with Petar Vucicevich, Kore International Management Inc. will no longer have a roll in the management process of SLJB.
"Mr. Vucicevich has insisted all documentation and communication involving Mr. Vucicevich, SLJB shareholders, transfer agent, and all other parties involved regarding SLJB be provided to our attorneys for their review.
"I will hold the position of CEO until such time as a new board of directors can be elected by our shareholders, as laid out by Mr. Vucicevich. I ask you to be patient with me, as I will be posting a statement shortly. Mr. Vucicevich also assures us that he will remain available in the future for all questions, should it arise. I apologize, I will not be taking any phone calls at this present time, we will be communicating with our shareholders strictly through our website, and through our press releases. We all feel that this is an unfortunate turn of events, and hope that this will restore confidence in our shareholders of SLJB."
Sulja Bros. Confirm Acquisition of Sam Building Materials as Previously Stated
Friday November 24, 9:11 am ET
WINDSOR, ON--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 24, 2006 -- Sulja Bros. Building Supplies Limited (Other OTC:SLJB.PK - News), today dismisses reports published in the Windsor Star that claim that the acquisition of Sam Building Material has not been closed. The deal has been completed and all assets and employees have been rolled into the Sulja family. No one was laid off.
A spokesperson stated, "Their entire inventory including trucks and other fixed assets have been acquired by Sulja's and we have been functioning as one for more than a month now. The property is a lease but everything else is solid assets. We want to dispel the reports that have been published in the Windsor Star; it seems as Gary Rennie, reporter from the Windsor Star has a personal vendetta against our company and its management."
Mario Moretto, President of Sam Building Materials, agreed with Sulja Bros. and stated, "Since October 2nd, we have been working under the Sulja banner. The purchase was completed and the documents are with our lawyers. I have spoken to no one from the Windsor Star, and I am uncertain to where they are getting their inaccurate information from. I want to state again that the deal has been finalized and everyone is very pleased with the result."
"The take over was seamless and everyone is happy with it. We have been conducting business normally and without hindrance since October. We plan on continuing as such and on expanding our business despite efforts of those outside our organization trying to derail our efforts for reasons unknown to us," the spokesperson said.
SLJB -- Synergy Between Former CEO and New Team Is Formidable Against Criticisms
Wednesday November 29, 9:15 am ET
WINDSOR, ON--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 29, 2006 -- Sulja Bros. Building Supplies Ltd. (Other OTC:SLJB.PK - News) today is responding to recent events and shareholder concerns. What follows is a statement from the CEO of SLJB, Mr. Steve Sulja and the current management team now set in place to carry on with the vision of the corporation:
As previously set forth for public scrutiny, this company is currently forwarding all relevant documents and authorizations for streamlined distribution of pertinent public information to our accountants and attorneys, who will serve as the sole source of information deemed necessary and completely accurate for the public. The Officers and Directors of SLJB want to express their steadfast alliance with the vision and goals of its former CEO and vow to continue in the same light to achieve these objectives in the near future and in the long-run of our operations. Basically, SLJB is aimed still toward new levels of shareholder value and a presence on broader, more prominent exchanges, goals directly relayed from former CEO Petar Vucicevich and taken on as both solid business objectives and as support for the former company leader.
SLJB Management also re-stated that the current onslaught of negative press and its deleterious effects on every aspect of our day-to-day business and, we believe, the injurious downturn on our current share-price is nothing more than pointed sensationalism and an unprovoked tirade serving none but the names of those who would set them forth.
As ever, Petar Vucicevich has ensured the Company that he stands behind SLJB to lend support and guidance for the new team and the Company. His purpose is to promote a smooth transition for the newly inundated management team and to ensure the continued success of the Company, both publicly and internally.
The Company believes that in five short months, an operation has been built that anyone would be proud of, something for our children to know that our team helped to build, and no one here feels at all different, despite the poorly organized drivel of envious onlookers. These onlookers will become even more diffused as the public observes how stringently the Company adheres to upcoming stricter guidelines and compliance issues set forth on the Pink Sheets and larger exchanges in the near future. We will exceed the minimum requirements of these regulations.
In conclusion, the Company announced that it has secured a position at a globally renowned exposition, and to date they are in fact the only North American delegate attending: Project Lebanon 2007 will be held 2/27-3/3 2007 at the Beirut International Exhibition and Leisure Center. This expo represents a market that expects to exceed $3 billion over the next three years. SLJB has positioned itself to garner as much of that market share as is possible. The expo coincides with the Company's completion of all of the service requirements and licensing procedures to open an office in the country operating as SLJB and subsequent offices in the region that will also conduct business under the SLJB title, a move that will make transparent the true ownership and management of the Company's operations overseas.
SLJB Issues Correction for Unintentional Mis-Statement: September 05, 2006 Press Release Retracted
Tuesday December 5, 12:44 am ET
WINDSOR, ON--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 5, 2006 -- A Sulja Bros. Building Supplies (Other OTC:SLJB.PK - News) spokesperson announced a clarification of its September 05, 2006 press release. SLJB made a mistake in the wording and in the timing of the release. Although the statements were made honestly and from the most up-to-date information available to the company at the time, circumstances far beyond the control of SLJB and occurring nearly simultaneously with the completion of the release now serve to have the Company take pause and recant the information. This effort has been put forth previously in the Statement of former CEO Petar Vucicevich on the corporate web site, www.suljabros.com. However, in light of recent questions concerning the press release, the Company is compelled to state in no uncertain terms that the concrete commodities mentioned in that release and the corresponding transaction were indeed cancelled and no contract, even if drafted to finality, was consummated. SLJB hopes that this statement serves to provide a final concurrence or addendum to the entire issue.
The September 05, 2006 press release follows below, presented in its entirety:

We want to take on the responsibility of assuring our investors that the path we have set for entry into this industry is immutable and has in fact made great strides during this time of guarded corporate information and rampant rumor-mill ranting.

We also know the platforms from where they attack our people and our organization. We will bring them all to like terms," the spokesperson continued.
The Company wanted to state its gratitude to its shareholders through this difficult time for their patience and understanding. SLJB will now move forward and only forward toward its original and still noteworthy goals it set in the beginning of this IPO initiative.
We made promises to shareholders and to longstanding business partners. We intend to keep them, and no one or no group will deter us from this ever.

This region is one of North America's most aggressively growing areas in every measurable way. I'd like to see if SLJB can be a part of that (growth) and if the products and services we provide can benefit the company and the area," said Sulja.
Alberta's Premier, Mr. Ed Stelmach, has gone as far to say that Alberta's economy has again reached the prominence of being "the driving force behind the economy of all Canada." Mr. Stelmach has dedicated the lion's share of his tenure as Premiere to managing this explosive economy in terms of its impact on future generations of Albertans.
Although there is nothing mandating the move to Alberta, Sulja is hopeful that the trip will bear positive light on the opportunity for SLJB. Shareholders will be kept apprised of any and all developments concerning this possible venture.
LAS VEGAS, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 26, 2007 -- Today a SLJB (Other OTC:SLJB.PK - News) spokesperson announced that the Company's CEO Steve Sulja will travel to Alberta on Monday, April 30, 2007. Mr. Mian Siddiq, the Company CFO will be accompanying Mr. Steve Sulja on his travels. Their agenda and goals for this trip are as follows:
1) To meet and discuss with area mill representatives and owners to negotiate metric dimensional lumber production for projected exports to foreign markets.
2) To negotiate pricing for North America operations.
3) To negotiate lease for new location in Calgary, AB.
CEO Steve Sulja added, "There will be some management changes in the company effective as of the first of May, 2007. Mr. Ron Coates, who has been our Sales Manager at SLJB, has been promoted not only Sales Manager in our area, but now appointed General Manager for all SLJB operations."
Leslie Budway will continue her role in the company as our Credit Analysis Manager. In addition she will now take on the task of being or in-house Investor Relation Department. We have decided to do an in-house Investor Relation as opposed to have an outside firm in an attempt to preserve shareholder confidence. This route was decided based on the fact that many outside IR Firms that we contacted wanted to be paid in shares, not money. We did not feel that this was fair to our shareholders when they could possibly "pump and dump" SLJB shares, causing instability and uncertainty amongst our shareholders.
Finally we would like to announce that we have requested our lawyers and they have agreed to depart today for the Middle East, to meet with our lawyers and agents in the region, in attempt to complete long outstanding deals.
We continually thank our Shareholders for their continuous support.
"Even if you are on the right track, you will still get run over if you just sit there."
