Clearford Announces Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2007

Ottawa, Ontario – (May 28, 2007) – Clearford Industries Inc. (“Clearford”, TSX-V: CLI) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2007, which ended March 31, 2007 (all figures in Canadian dollars and in accordance with Canadian GAAP).

Clearford’s revenue arises substantially from the Brooklin Concrete Division, whose operations are seasonally affected by construction weather conditions. Revenue for the first quarter was $1,635,000 compared to $1,410,000 revenue for the same period of the prior year and $5,344,000 of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2006. Gross margin was $142,000 compared to $12,000 gross margin for the same period of the prior year and $2,057,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006. Operating loss for the quarter was $1,992,000 compared to an operating loss of $1,567,000 for the same period of the prior year and an operating loss of $345,000 for the fourth quarter of 2006. Net loss for the first quarter was $2,991,000 or $0.12 per share compared to a net loss of $2,213,000 or $0.09 per share for the same period of the prior year and a net loss of $1,356,000 or $0.05 per share for the fourth quarter of 2006.

For the first quarter of 2007 cash used in operations was $1,997,246 compared to cash used in operations of $2,080,907 for the same period of the prior year and cash used in operations for the prior quarter of $919,000.

The Brooklin Concrete Division revenues and earnings were negatively affected by unusually poor construction weather in the Toronto area in February and March. These delayed revenues are expected to be earned during the next two quarters. The Wastewater Division recorded $125,000 of revenue and contribution on the quarter related to Touchstone on Lake Muskoka.

“Environment and infrastructure represent two of the top three public policy issues for the majority of the world; they also represent the business lines for Clearford,” stated Bruce Linton, President and CEO of Clearford. “I expect that the rest of 2007 will provide for opportunities across both the Wastewater and Concrete Divisions.”
