  ZHEJIANG, CHINA, Jun 29 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Chisen Electric Corporation (OTCBB: CIEC) (the "Company"), a leading
lead-acid motive battery producer for the electric bicycle market in the
People's Republic of China, announced today financial results for its
fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

    In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, revenues rose approximately
US$43,633,000, from US$65,387,000 in the prior year, a 67% increase, while
net income increased 32.5% to US$8,880,000 compared with US$6,701,000 a
year earlier. Earnings per share grew to $0.18 in the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2009, up from $0.13 per share in the prior fiscal year. These
increases were mainly attributable to continuing strong sales of the
Company's battery products as a result of rapid growth in China's electric
bicycle market. This was reflected in increased demand from the Company's
existing customers as well as orders from new customers including a major
new customer in Tianjin.

    Growing Sales of Electric Bicycles

    Commenting on these results, Mr. Xu Kecheng, President, CEO and a Director
of Chisen Electric, stated, "We are very pleased to be able to report
another year of very strong growth in sales and net income. This is mainly
a consequence of the growing sales of electric bicycles in China, which
are seen as a very practical, non-polluting means of transportation for
many people. We also have shifted our product mix to high power battery
products with higher unit selling prices. Looking ahead, we remain
optimistic about continuing growth as we focus on increased sales of our
high quality products to current customers and further expansion of our
customer base."

    The Company also reported that in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009,
general and administrative expenses increased to US$4,007,000 from
US$1,650,000 a year earlier. The increase of US$2,357,000 was mainly due
to increases in employee compensation, research and development costs, as
well as leases and taxes associated with the Company's business expansion.
Also contributing to the increase were fees and expenses related to the
Company's reverse merger, which closed on November 12, 2008.

    Increased Working Capital

    Net cash provided by operations was approximately US$11,289,000 in the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, compared with US$10,513,000 in the prior
year. This increase was mainly attributable to the use of bank bills for
the settlement of accounts payable.

    During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, working capital increased by
approximately US$8,230,000 to US$12,506,000, compared to approximately
US$4,726,000 in the prior year. This increase is primarily due to the
increase in the Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted bank
balances, accounts receivable and inventories, totaling approximately
US$33,693,000, offset by the increase in its accounts and notes payable of
approximately US$28,449,000.
