HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 09/02/10 -- Lapolla Industries, Inc. ("Lapolla") (OTCBB: LPAD), a leading manufacturer and supplier of insulation foam, coatings, and equipment, focused on commercial, industrial and residential applications in the insulation and construction industries, today announced receiving a $12.5 Million senior secured credit facility from Bank of America Merrill Lynch through Bank of America Business Capital (BABC), one of the world's largest asset-based lenders. The asset-based loan is being used to refinance existing debt and add working capital for growth. BABC is also providing Lapolla with treasury management products and services.

Douglas J. Kramer, Lapolla's President & CEO, stated, "The new financing from Bank of America Business Capital provides Lapolla with interest expense savings, adds working capital to help sustain our continued aggressive growth, and significantly strengthens our balance sheet. The bank did an excellent job in understanding our business needs, which will in-turn, create a greater likelihood of a long term banking and lender relationship."

Lapolla earnings report for the first six months, ended June 30, 2010, have shown aggressive and sustained growth in both revenue and profitability. The company reported 45% growth in both revenue and profitability from the previous year's same period. Based on the first two quarters of 2010, Lapolla has a projected annual sales pace of over $60 Million for the 2010 year, which will make its projected compound annual growth sales rate at 69%, or 2,240% total sales growth, for a 6 year period.

Mr. Kramer continued, "The growth is a direct result of increased consumer awareness, demand for energy cost control, and an overall desire to reduce carbon footprint. The growth is also a clear indicator, in a very soft economy, that Spray Polyurethane Foam is capturing market share from other conventional insulation products."

"We are delighted to have Lapolla Industries as a new client of the bank," said Kim Ruth, Global Commercial Banking Southwest Region Executive. "We worked closely with their management team to learn about their strategy, competitive strengths and business opportunities. This interaction and transparency facilitated our ability to provide them with comprehensive financial solutions that will help them grow their customer base and sales."
