Dear Agoracom Family,

I want to thank all of you for your patience with us over the past 48 hours and apologize for what was admittedly a botched launch of our new site.

As you can see, we have reverted back to the previous version of the site while we address multiple forum functionality flaws that inexplicably made their way into the launch.

To this end:

1.We have identified 8 fundamental but easily fixable flaws that will be corrected in the coming week, so that you can continue to use the forums exactly as you've been accustomed to.

2.Additionally we will also be implementing a couple of design improvements to "tighten up" the look and feel of the forums.

Sincerely,

George et al

Cathay Forest Announces First Quarter Results
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 2, 2009) - Cathay Forest Products Corp. ("Cathay" or the "Company")(TSX VENTURE:CFZ) is pleased to announce its financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Cathay reported revenues of $6,277,519 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009, representing a 2.4% increase compared with revenues of $6,130,201 for the same period in 2008. Net loss for the latest three month period was $1,117,908 or $0.01 per share.

The increase in revenue is encouraging given the current global economic conditions. As Cathay's importing business continues to establish itself as the leader in cross border import from Russian of roundwood lumber, the Russian operations have demonstrated their operational ability to attain full quota production levels. In addition to the sale of logs to the Chinese market, Cathay is expanding its market reach by selling roundwood harvested in Russia into the Japanese market.

The Company continues to maintain a strong cash position at the end of the quarter with $8,975,908 in cash and cash equivalents. This level of cash amount is sufficient to meet all foreseeable needs of the Company.

The Company is currently reviewing its harvesting plans of its Fast Growth Poplar plantation in China in view of the current economic conditions including the demand and pricing of the species. Based on the Company's analysis the decision to harvest the FGP plantations significantly in 2009 will be made in the next few months.
