Sancon Resources Recovery, Inc. Announces Record Preliminary 2008 Second Quarter Results

   Quarterly Revenue Increases 73.3%, Gross Profit Rises 641% Leading
to Diluted EPS of $0.02; Company Earns $0.06 for 2008 First Six Months
SHANGHAI, China--(Business Wire)--
Sancon Resources Recovery, Inc. (OTCBB:SRRY), a rapidly growing
environmental services and industrial waste recycling company, with
operations in both China and Australia, today announced record
preliminary second quarter results for the period ended June 30, 2008.

   The Company generated record 2008 second quarter revenue of
approximately $2.93 million, a 73.3% increase compared to $1.69
million in the 2008 second quarter. Revenue increased due to strong
growth in China. Gross profit increased 641% to $1.26 million compared
to $0.17 million in the year earlier period. Gross profit declined
from $1.51 million in the 2008 first quarter due to damage to roads
and highways in certain cities the Company does business in as a
result of the Wenchuan earthquake. This damage increased the amount of
time it took to complete waste collections, increasing the cost to the
Company. Many of the roads and highways have since been repaired.

   Gross margin increased from 10.3% in the 2007 second quarter to
43% in the 2008 second quarter due to increased sales of higher margin
services in China. 2008 second quarter net income was a record $0.37
million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $(0.06)
million or $0.00 per share in the year earlier period. The 2008 second
quarter was the Company's second consecutive quarter of profitability.
2008 first quarter net income was a record $0.79 million, or $0.04 per
diluted share, compared to a loss of $(0.16) million, or $(0.01) per
share in the year earlier period.

   Despite the strong revenue growth in the 2008 second quarter, the
Company's revenue would have been even higher except for the
disruption caused by the earthquake that impacted Sancon's ability to
offer environmental services in certain areas that were impacted by
the earthquake. Profitability was also impacted by the Company's
decision to increase spending to develop ways to turn waste glass
material into new usable products and materials, which it believes
will allow it to generate additional sources of revenue and
investments in additional infrastructure to support anticipated growth
throughout the balance of 2008 and 2009.

   "We are pleased to announce our second consecutive quarter of
profitability," said Jack Chen, Sancon's Chief Executive Officer.
"Despite challenges presented by the earthquake in China, which
impacted our ability to offer services in certain markets, we
continued to expand our customer base and market. The market in China
is substantial and still in its early stages of growth, and we have
positioned the Company to benefit from the Chinese government's
mandate to clean up the environment in the next 15 years. We will
continue to strategically increase our recycling plants and depots to
support growth in new Chinese cities and to expand the services we
provide customers in our target markets."

   The Company expects to provide a business outlook for fiscal 2008
when it announces results in mid-August and will hold a conference
call for the investment community to discuss its results. Details on
the timing of the conference call will follow.
