MIAMI, FL--(Marketwire - March 31, 2011) - ONE Bio,
Corp. ("ONE" or the "Company") (OTCBB: ONBI), an innovative company
utilizing green process manufacturing to produce raw chemicals and herbal
extracts, natural and health supplements and organic products, today
announced audited financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year
ended December 31, 2010. A summary of financial results includes the
following:
Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2010 reached $14.9 million,
an increase of 11% compared to $13.4 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2009. Revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010
reached $52.3 million, an increase of 137% compared to $22.1 million for
the same period last year.
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2010 reached $2.8
million, an increase of 2.9% compared to $2.7 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2009. Net income for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2010 reached $8.7 million, an increase of 82% compared to $4.8 million for
the same period last year.
The increase in revenue and net income for fiscal 2010 is primarily
attributable to the acquisitions the Company completed during the third
quarter of 2009 and the increase in demand for the Company's chemical and
herbal extracts and organic products.
Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $6.1 million,
as compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009.
Gross margin was 40.6% compared to 39.2% for the fourth quarter of 2009.
Gross profit for fiscal 2010 was $20.1 million, as compared to $10.0
million in the previous year. Gross margin was 38.5% compared to 45.2% for
2009. The decrease in gross margin for fiscal 2010 was primarily due to a
change in the product mix and new product launches. As the Company reaches
economies of scale on the new products launched during 2010, the Company
anticipates gross margin to increase to over 40% for fiscal 2011.
Operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2010 reached $4.1
million, an increase of 2.7% compared to $3.9 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2009. Operating income for 2010 reached $13.7 million,
up 83.4% from $7.5 million in 2009. Operating expenses for 2010 totaled
$6.4 million, up 155.2% from $2.5 million in the same period a year ago.
The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the full year's
inclusion of revenues from the Company's Organic Products and Trade Finance
Solutions divisions.
Earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2010 reached
$0.45 ($0.43 on a fully diluted basis), compared to $0.51 ($0.50 on a fully
diluted basis) for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Earnings per
share for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 reached $1.43 ($1.35 on a
fully diluted basis) compared to $0.95 ($0.93 on a fully diluted basis) for
the same period last year.
As of December 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents totaled $10.7 million,
working capital totaled $12.8 million, and shareholders' equity was $42.1
million.

"Our fiscal 2010 results met our expectations. Asia's robust economic
growth continues to fuel demand for our products, and we successfully added
several new distributors in the Asian market during the fiscal year. Our
strong organic growth, coupled with the impacts of two key acquisitions we
completed in the third quarter of 2009, enabled us to deliver record
results for fiscal 2010," stated Marius Silvasan, ONE's CEO. "In 2011, we
remain focused on the continued execution of our business strategy, which
calls for continued robust organic growth to be supplemented by key
strategic acquisitions."
