NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 9, 2006--Bodisen Biotech, Inc., (AMEX:BBC, London AIM:BODI, website: /) the first China based environmentally friendly bio fertilizer company listed on a US stock exchange, and dually listed in London, today announced that it achieved record year-over-year revenue and earnings growth from the production and sale of its organic fertilizer and pesticide products for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006.

FIRST QUARTER 2006 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Revenues grew 124% to approximately $10.54 million for the first three months of 2006, from $4.70 million for the same period last year.
• Gross Profit increased to approximately $4.24 million for the first quarter of 2006, from $1.65 million for the first quarter of 2005.
• Income from Operations of approximately $3.46 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, up approximately 181% from $1.23 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.
• Net Income was approximately $2.68 million or basic earnings per share of $0.16 and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.15, up from $796,733 or $0.05 per fully diluted share for the first quarter of 2005.
• Excluding the impact of a one-time non-cash charge of approximately $750,000 or $(0.05) per share, related to issuance of warrants in the December 2005 $5,000,000 financing, the company's first quarter non-GAAP earnings per share would have been $0.20.

Karen Qiong Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Bodisen commented, "We're very pleased with our continued momentum and growth moving into 2006. During the quarter, we continued to see strong demand for our products, even as we raised prices twice during the quarter. Although historically our first quarter is the slowest quarter in a year, we achieved a robust gross margin of approximately 40%. Excluding the non-cash item warrants issuance related charge of approximately $750,000, our net margin exceeded 30% and non-GAAP earnings per share would have been $0.20. With the first quarter behind us, our second quarter is on track to achieve strong year-over-year revenues and earnings growth."

REVENUES

Bodisen achieved record year-over-year revenues of $10,535,360 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, up 124% from the same period last year when the company reported revenues of $4,701,675. Growth in revenue was due to the continued high demand for the company's environmentally friendly bio compound fertilizer and liquid fertilizer products.

NET INCOME

The company reported net income of $2,682,643, or basic earnings per share of $0.16 and diluted earnings per share of $0.15, for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the company reported net income of $796,733, or basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.05.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND 2006 OUTLOOK

"Demand for organic fertilizers, liquid fertilizers and pesticides continues to grow at a high rate," said Ms. Wang. "With more than 60 products, Bodisen provides Chinese farmers with high quality, economically attractive and environmentally friendly total solutions that are competitively priced compared to traditional chemical fertilizer products. Taking less time to apply, our products have been scientifically proven to create between 10% to 35% higher crop yields and improve soil conditions in various regions. At the same time, farmers can sell their products as 'certified organic green foods,' potentially increasing their revenues since these foods typically are sold at significant price premiums at the retail level."

Commenting on the company's outlook for 2006, Ms. Wang continued, "With a favorable market environment, diversified product lines, nationwide distribution channels including more than 150 wholesale distributors and over 600 nationwide distribution centers, and strong brand recognition and local presence among our loyal target customers, we continue to expect to achieve substantial revenue growth as we move into our high volume second and third quarters and expect to deliver on our guidance of significant annual revenue and earnings growth for 2006, while targeting net margins in the 30% range."

Commenting on future growth, Bodisen's President Bo Chen commented: "Bodisen is in the process of evaluating several potential opportunities located in China's vast northwest and northeast farm regions. Bodisen's plan to build or acquire existing facilities serving these regions is well on track. We expect these new markets as well as our growing network of new distribution centers to significantly contribute to our growth in 2007 and beyond. Bodisen has a highly capable management team that is dedicated to meeting our 2007 growth targets and executing our current growth plan without diluting our shares."
