(OTC Bulletin Board: CBPO) ("China Biologic" or the "Company"), one of the leading plasma-based pharmaceutical companies in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2008.

    -- Revenues increased 44.3% year-over-year to a record $46.8 million

"We are pleased to report strong revenue and net income results for 2008," said Mr. Chao Ming Zhao, CEO of China Biologic Products. "We believe that our significant operating leverage demonstrate the success of the marketing strategies that we implemented last year. More recently, we were pleased to announce that our subsidiary, Shandong Taibang Biological Products Co. Ltd., has completed the government approval process for the transfer of 35% equity interest in Xi'an Huitian Blood Products Co., Ltd. We expected to close the Huitian acquisition, as well as the previously announced Qianfeng acquisition, in the near term.
