Kiwa Bio-Tech Revenues for 1st Half Exceed $3.25 Million
August 15, 2007


    BEIJING and CLAREMONT, Calif., Aug. 15
/Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kiwa Bio-Tech Products
Group Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: KWBT) announced that
revenues for the second quarter of 2007 increased more than
35% over the first quarter of 2007 exceeding $1,872,000 and
were 139 times revenues of just $13,351 for the same period
in the previous year.

    Revenues for the first half of 2007 were $3,256,000
compared to only $24,374 in the first half of 2006. These
significant increases are due to the growth of Kiwa's new
bio-enhanced feed business.

    Review of Second Quarter

    Costs of sales were $1,798,905 and $12,545 for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to the
rapid increase of sales. Gross profit was $73,742 for the
three months ended June 30, 2007, representing an average
profit margin of 3.9%. The profit margins for
bio-fertilizer and bio-enhanced feed were 18.9% and 3.8%,
respectively.

    Mr. Wei Li, Chairman and CEO of Kiwa, stated, "The
significant improvement in revenues reflects the efforts at
the 60 distributors in our joint venture, Tianjin Kiwa Feed
Co., Ltd. We appreciate the efforts of our team in building
this business and we are now focusing on raising the profit
margins for bio- enhanced feed products."

    Net loss increased by $780,979 or 148.5% to $1,306,893
(including non-cash expenses of $537,164) for the three
months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $525,914 for the
three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase resulted
from the following factors: (1) increase in gross profit of
$72,936; (2) increase in operating expenses of $192,923; (3)
increase in interest expenses of $247,233; (4) there was
$750 of net loss born as a minority shareholder in a
subsidiary in 2007 and no similar loss in 2006; and (5) we
recognized $414,509 expenses in connection with urea
entrepot trade during the current period.

    In July 2007, the Company entered into three
termination agreements with each party of the Urea entrepot
trade for the termination of contracts between the Company
and Shengkui Technologies, Hua Yang Roneo Corporation and
UPB International Sourcing Limited. Pursuant to these
termination agreements, the Company shall have neither
rights nor obligations under previous contracts in
connection with urea entrepot trade with exception to
commission due to UPB. Based on these facts, we classified
urea entrepot trade as discontinued operation and charged
all unamortized payments and the remaining commission due
into expenses in the second quarter.

    Please refer to documents filed today with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for additional
information on the results for the second quarter and first
half of 2007.
