U.S. HOME SYSTEMS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2008 FINANCIAL RESULTS

DALLAS, TX, May 14, 2008 — U.S. Home Systems, Inc. (NasdaqNGM: USHS) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008. USHS is engaged in the specialty products home improvement business. The Company’s principal product lines include kitchen cabinet refacing products, bathroom tub liners and wall surround products, wood and composite decks and related accessories.

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2008, USHS reported new orders increased 9.8% to $33.3 million from $30.3 million in the first quarter 2007. The Company attributed the increase in orders to the effectiveness of its in-store-marketing program which it initiated in June 2007. Revenues in the first quarter 2008 were $31.9 million as compared to $28.1 million in the first quarter 2007. Revenues in markets opened over one year increased 10.6% to $31.1 million from $28.1 million, respectively. The Company’s backlog of uncompleted orders was $25.3 million at March 31, 2008 as compared to $24.0 million at December 31, 2007 and $21.3 million at March 31, 2007.

The Company’s operating expenses increased from $14.1 million in the first quarter 2007 to $16.6 million in the first quarter 2008. A substantial portion of the Company’s operating costs are sales and marketing expenses that vary with revenues. Additionally, the higher operating costs included costs of new sales and installation centers for markets opened in the second and third quarter of 2007, increased sales management and marketing personnel costs, and sales associate hire costs. Net loss from continuing operations in the first quarter 2008 was approximately $4,000, or ($0.00) per share, as compared to net income of $419,000, or $0.05 per share, in the same quarter last year.

Murray Gross, chairman and chief executive officer, commented “We continue to be encouraged with the results from our in-store marketing initiative. This program has proved to be an effective vehicle to penetrate the market and proactively generate prospective customer interest in our products and services. Based on these successes, we are planning to expand the program in 2008. We expect this more robust in-store marketing initiative will help to grow our new orders and resulting revenue.”

Gross continued, “In April 2008 we opened sales and installation centers in the Columbus and Cincinnati markets as part of our expansion into Ohio. We anticipate we will complete opening the Cleveland and Pittsburgh markets late in the second quarter of 2008. These markets, in the aggregate, encompass approximately 96 The Home Depot stores. Additionally, as we previously announced, we are phasing our deck products out of The Home Depot stores and later this month we will begin the transition to marketing our deck products in the Maryland and Northern Virginia markets under our Designer Deck brand.”

“In April we took our first step toward introducing garage organizational systems into select The Home Depot stores. On April 15, 2008, we purchased a 33.33% membership interest in Blue Viking Storage, LLC, a distributor of garage organizational systems and accessories”, said Mr. Gross. “In conjunction with the membership interest, we entered into a marketing consulting agreement with Blue Viking in which Blue Viking will provide us sales and marketing consulting to support our entry and expansion into the garage and home storage industry. We anticipate introducing these products in select The Home Depot stores beginning late in the second quarter. Home organization storage systems, including closet and garage systems, are a growing product category that fits well with our product mix. We believe that garage storage systems is the fastest growing product category in home improvements.”

Mr. Gross concluded, “In March our Board authorized a new program for the repurchase of up to $2 million of our outstanding common stock in the open market. As before, we will make purchases at such prices and time as we determine are appropriate. Based on our current stock price, we believe repurchases of the Company’s stock represent an excellent investment that will provide long-term value to our shareholders.”

USHS previously reported that effective September 30, 2007 it had completed the sale of its consumer finance subsidiary assets. Operating results of its former consumer finance segment have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods.

Including discontinued operations, consolidated net loss was approximately $5,000, or $0.00 per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008 as compared to net income of approximately $232,000, or $0.03 per share, in the same period last year.
