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 unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011. A summary of financial results includes the following:

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 reached $12.1 million, an increase of 8.2% compared to $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in revenue is primarily the result of growth experienced in the Company's Chemical and Herbal Extract ("CHE") and Organic Products ("OP") business units.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 reached $2.4 million, an increase of 46.6% compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to increased sales and a higher gross margin achieved by the Company in the first quarter of 2011 versus the same period in 2010.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $5.8 million, as compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Gross margin was 47.8% compared to 36.8% for the first quarter of 2010. The increase in gross margin for the first quarter of 2011 was primarily due to the launch of several new higher-margin products during 2010 and a higher margin generated by the Company's finance business unit.

Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 reached $3.7 million, an increase of 28.8% compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2011 totaled $2.0 million, up 68.5% from $1.2 million in the same period a year ago. The increase in operating expenses was primarily related to higher selling expenses and one-time corporate costs in 2011, while 2010 operating expenses were reduced by a one-time tax gain.

Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011 reached $0.36 ($0.34 on a fully diluted basis), compared to $0.28 ($0.24 on a fully diluted basis) for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

As of March 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $8.7 million, working capital totaled $15.5 million, and shareholders' equity was $43.3 million.

"Our first quarter 2011 results demonstrate the continued robust demand for our products," stated Marius Silvasan, ONE's CEO. "The new products we launched during 2010 helped boost our gross margin in the first quarter of 2011 to 47.8% from 36.8% for the same period a year ago. The significant increase in gross margin validates our business model and the strategy we adopted in 2010. 2010 was a key year in which we invested in the expansion of our product portfolio, enhanced the quality of our current lineup and further strengthened our IP technology, providing us with a strong competitive advantage. In 2011, our strategy is to continue growing our market share in China while further expanding in the United States and Japan."
