IND Indy Diarytech Limited Com

China One Corporation (TSX VENTURE:IND) ("China One" or the "Company") today
announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. The unaudited
consolidated interim financial statements along with management's discussion and
analysis have been filed on SEDAR.


Revenue for the quarter was $621,762 compared to $111,054 in the first quarter
of 2008. Net loss for the quarter was $1,329,648 or $0.01 per share as compared
to a loss of $982,406 in the first quarter of 2008. Revenue in the quarter
includes $599,967 from milk sales.


During the first quarter of 2009, two co-operation farms began producing milk,
which was sold to local dairy processors. Once the volume of milk increases, IND
can attract major dairy processors as customers and expect to enjoy increased
selling prices. The average sale prices during the quarter include $0.51 (RMB
2.78) per kilogram for the Bengbu co-operation farm and $0.44 (RMB 2.43) per
kilogram for the Dalian co-operation farm,. Management expects the milk price to
improve to RMB 2.8 - RMB 3.2 per kilogram when the milk production picks up,
allowing the Company to supply its raw milk to major customers in those two
areas.


During the quarter, the Company's herd size increased by approximately 1,400
cows to a total of 8,417. Milk production and acquisition of local cows
progressed as expected during the quarter. With the winter season completed, IND
expects production and cow acquisition activities to steadily improve.

On May 15, 2009, based on mutually agreeable terms, the Company amended its
original capital lease agreement with Tianbao Dairy Inc. ("Tianbao") signed in
2007 and entered into an operating lease with the same company by paying
approximately $2.8 million (15 million RMB) over 10 years, which will be treated
as an operating lease. In this new lease agreement, the working capital will be
mainly from a low-interest loan from a local bank and subsidies from the local
government; while in the old capital lease agreement, the working capital and
farm lease were provided by Tianbao at a 16.95% annual interest cost to the
Company.


The Company is actively engaged in discussions with several strategic partners
and investors for the development of farms as well as building joint ventures in
developing new farms.


China One, through its operating subsidiaries, is an emerging raw milk producer
in China that is seeking to become a leading provider of high quality raw milk
to the Chinese dairy industry. To meet China's increasing demand for dairy
products, the Company is using Canadian cattle genetics and North American
farming practices to establish and increase its dairy herd in China. At its 2009
shareholder meeting, China One intends to seek shareholder approval to change
its name to IND DairyTech Limited.


The Company plans to develop its herd in China through the use of advanced
breeding techniques employing Canadian Holstein embryos that it intends to use
to impregnate surrogate cows. These embryos have been created through in vitro
fertilization using sexed semen to achieve an approximate 90% female birth rate.
The use of these advanced breeding techniques is expected to allow the Company
to rapidly expand its herd. The use of Canadian Holstein embryos also provides a
practical solution to China's ban on the import of live Canadian cattle.
