RISI announces launch of expanded Crow's Weekly Market Report

BOSTON, MA, Feb. 13, 2007 - RISI, the leading information provider for the global forest products industry, today announced the expansion of Crow's Weekly Market Report from 12 to 16 pages. In addition to featuring significantly more market prices and commentary, it has been redesigned to improve readability and to more accurately reflect current markets. Crow's is North America's longest continually published softwood lumber and panel pricing report.

Ken Tennefoss, Editor of Crow's Weekly Market Report, commented on the Crow's Weekly Market Report expansion, "One of the things that's most exciting about the expansion and redesign of Crow's Weekly Market Report is the inclusion of the Crow's House, which will show the weekly impact of market changes on the cost of actual home construction. We've also added a completely new section on treated lumber that will provide both market prices and commentary."

Crow's Weekly Market Report is priced at $295 for a one-year subscription; discounts are available for group subscriptions of five or more from the same company. More information can be found at www.risiinfo.com/crows.
