These high standards, which allow the plant to currently manufacture pharmaceuticals, make this among the highest quality plants which can be found manufacturing products in the nutritional supplement marketplace."

Following the completion of this order, we will have one of the largest and most prestigious companies in the industry as a reference-able customer.

April 15 - China Sun Group High-Tech Co. Reports Record Financial Results for the Quarter Ended February 29, 2008

Revenue Increased 167% to $7.2 Million; Net Income Up 1016% to $2.0 Million

China Sun Group High-Tech Co. (OTCBB: CSGH) ("China Sun Group"), which through its majority-owned subsidiary Da Lian Xin Yang High-Tech Development Co. Ltd ("DLX") has the second-largest cobalt series production capacity in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Full details for the three-month period ended February 29, 2008 are available on its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2008 and is available at www.sec.gov.

Q3 Financial Highlights:

– Net revenue grew 167% to a $7.2 Million.

– GAAP Net income increased 1016% to $1,953,365.

– Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were $0.05 compared to
$(0.01) for the same period the year before.

Bin Wang, Chief Executive Officer of China Sun Group, said, "Our sterling performance in the third quarter demonstrates our ability to increase sales quarter-over-quarter and achieve profitable growth. Our revenue growth and substantial increase in net income are based on a number of factors, including increased customer demand for our products, expanded production capacity and stricter cost control.

"For example, we started batch production for lithium cobalt oxide in February 2008 and expect to secure our first order and begin production in May of 2008. Based on our current and projected customer base and product lines, we are on track to more than double our revenue and net income for the full fiscal year 2008 compared to fiscal 2007."

Wang continued, "In a significant new development, DLX has been approved to produce a new, safer and less expensive ternary material that acts as an ideal substitute anode material. This ternary material is not only lower in price and safer to use but also has a longer life compared to lithium cobalt oxide. This positions DLX to introduce this next-generation battery component for the production of small lithium ion batteries (used in laptops, cell phones and MP3 players), and also manganese lithium large-capacity batteries (used in pure and electric hybrid vehicles). The versatility of this unique material positions China Sun Group to serve multiple commodity markets in the near future."

''While we achieved record net revenue and operating income in 2007, we continued to experience intense competition and significant price increases for raw coal. These factors resulted in lower gross margin and slower growth in operating income.''

Results for the Fourth Quarter 2007

For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, net revenue was $49.2 million, up 13.4% from $43.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Sales of cleaned coal were 585,000 MT in the fourth quarter of 2007, up 6.8% from 548,000 MT in the same period last year, due to increased sales to existing customers.

Gross profit for the quarter was $7.8 million, down 12.3% from $8.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Gross margin was 15.9% in the quarter, down from 20.6% in the same period last year. The decrease was due to an increase in the average price of raw coal.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $1.5 million, down 16.3% from the same period last year. Selling expenses declined due to lower shipping charges from decreased tonnage sales to customers outside Shanxi Province during the quarter. As a percentage of net revenue, operating expenses were 3.1% in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to 4.1% in the same quarter last year.

Operating income was $6.3 million, or 12.8% of net revenue, down 11.3% from $7.1 million, or 16.4% of net revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Net income was $4.3 million, or $0.04 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to net income of $6.0 million, or $0.07 per share on a fully diluted basis, in the fourth quarter of 2006. Adjusting net income to exclude non- cash debt financing and other expenses related to the Company's convertible debt and warrants, adjusted net income was $3.6 million, or $0.03 per share on a fully diluted basis, in the fourth quarter of 2007, down from adjusted net income of $4.0 million, or $0.05 per share on a fully diluted basis, in the same period of 2006.

Full Year 2007 Results

Net revenue for 2007 was $165.3 million, up 20.0% from $137.8 million in 2006. Gross profit was $28.6 million, or 17.3% of net revenue, up slightly from $28.4 million, or 20.6% of net revenue in 2006. Operating profit was $23.4 million, or 14.2% of net revenue, up 2.9% from $22.8 million, or 16.5% of net revenue in 2006. Net income was $10.9 million, or $0.11 per share on a fully diluted basis, up from $1.4 million, or $0.02 per share on a fully diluted basis, in 2006. Adjusting net income to exclude non-cash debt financing and other expenses related to the Company's convertible debt and warrants, adjusted net income was $12.8 million, or $0.13 per share on a fully diluted basis, in 2007, up from $12.5 million, or $0.16 per share on a fully diluted basis, in 2006.

Financial Condition

As of December 31, 2007, Puda Coal had $16.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, $43.7 million in working capital and a current ratio 3.29:1. Long-term debt, excluding current portion, was $13.6 million and shareholders' equity stood at $48.6 million.

In the first nine months of 2007, Puda Coal increased its inventory of raw coal in an effort to mitigate rising raw materials prices. In the fourth quarter of 2007, Puda Coal reduced inventory of raw materials by approximately $6.9 million and generated $14.3 million in cash flow from operating activities.

Business Outlook

Demand for steel and high-grade metallurgical coking coal is expected to increase steadily in the 2008. Based on information from the China Iron and Steel Association, crude steel production is expected to reach 520 million tons in 2008, up 6.3% from 2007. However, the Company continues to experience higher raw coal prices and increased competition as the larger steel groups have begun sourcing more of their coal washing needs from internal coke mills and many coal mining companies have begun to integrate downstream by establishing their own coal washing operations. The increased competition limits the Company's ability to raise prices at the same rate as the increase in the cost of raw coal, which will reduce gross margin in 2008. The Company is actively seeking to acquire coal mines in an effort to vertically integrate its coal washing operations and improve profitability over the long-term.

''While we expect the market to remain competitive in 2008, we will actively seek to increase our sales while attempting to preserve operating margin," said Mr. Zhao. ''Given the current environment, we are actively seeking to acquire coal mines to take advantage of the strong demand for raw coal in China and improve our profitability.''
