      Yuhe International Inc. Reports Record Second Quarter 2009 Results
    WEIFANG, Shandong, China, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Yuhe
International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: YUII) ("Yuhe" or "the Company"), a
leading supplier of day-old chickens raised for meat production, or broilers,
in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), today announced its financial
results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

    -- Net revenue increased 75.5% to $9.8 million, compared to $5.6 million
       in the second quarter of 2008
    -- Gross profit grew 52.6% to $2.8 million, compared to $1.8 million in
       the same period last year
    -- Operating income grew 60.6% to $2.1 million, compared to $1.3 million
       in the second quarter of 2008
    -- Net income increased 79.5% to $2.1 million, compared to $1.2 million in
       the same period last year
    -- Fully diluted EPS increased 81.2% to $0.13 per share, compared to $0.07
       in the second quarter of 2008
    -- Stock trading data became available through Standard & Poor's Market

    -- Engaged Ernst & Young in Sarbanes-Oxley compliance project

    "The second quarter of 2009 was another very successful quarter for Yuhe
International Inc.  We achieved record revenue and net income in the quarter,
due to our capacity expansion and stable customer relationships," commented
Mr.
Zhentao Gao, Chief Executive Officer of Yuhe.  "Selling prices fell in tandem
with pork prices, which bottomed out in the first half of 2009 along with the
normal seasonal decline associated with the harvest season.  Selling prices
have since increased, reaching RMB 2.6 per day-old broiler in July 2009.  We
believe that demand and average pricing for high-quality day-old broilers will
continue to expand in the second half of the year."
    Second Quarter 2009 Results
    Total reported revenue for the second quarter of 2009 increased 75.5% to
$9.8 million, from net revenue of $5.6 million for the three-months ended June
30, 2008.  The increase was mainly driven by 117.8% growth in sales volume of
day-old broilers to 25.7 million from 11.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2008.  Production capacity expansion as well as the increase of
parent breeder volume at the end of 2008 fueled the sales volume increase.
The growth in sales volume was partially offset by a 24% decrease in selling
price from RMB 3.13 per bird for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to RMB
2.38 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to lower prices for pork, a
substitution meat, which affected chicken prices.  In addition, seasonality
weakened broiler demand and prices fell sequentially from the first quarter of
2009 (RMB 2.99 per bird), since customers were primarily engaged in harvest
activities during the second quarter.
    Gross profit increased 52.6% to $2.8 million in the second quarter of
2009,
compared to $1.8 million the prior year period.  Gross margin was 28.5%, as
compared to 32.8% during the same period in 2008.  The decrease in gross
margin was due largely to early retirement of parent breeders.  Excluding this
early retirement, gross margin from the Company's core business in the second
quarter of 2009 was fairly consistent year- over-year.
    Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2009 was $0.7 million, or
7.6% of total revenues, compared to $0.6 million, or 9.9% of total revenues,
for the second quarter of 2008.  General and administrative expenses increased
38.7% to $0.6 million, primarily due to increased expenses as a public
company.
Selling expenses were only up 12.8% to $0.1 million, which was significantly
lower than the sales growth rate, mainly because customers pay the
transportation fees to ship day-old broilers and the increased revenues were
mostly from existing customers.
    Operating income for the second quarter of 2009 increased 60.6% to $2.1
million, compared to operating income of $1.3 million for the same period in
2008.  Operating margin was 20.9%, compared to 22.9% in the same quarter of
2008.
     Net profit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased 79.5% to
$2.1 million, compared to $1.2 million for the same period last year.  Fully
diluted earnings per share rose 81.2% to $0.13 from $0.07 for the same period
last year.
    Six Month Results
    In the six months ended June 30, 2009, Yuhe reported net revenues
increased 153.0% to $20.7 million, from pro forma net revenues* of $8.2
million in the six months ended June 30, 2008.  Gross profit grew 209.4% to
$6.9 million, as compared to pro forma gross margin of $2.2 million in the
same period prior year.  Reported gross margin expanded 600 basis points to
33.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, from pro forma gross margin of
27.1% in the same period last year.  Reported operating expense was $1.6
million, or 7.6% of total revenues, compared to pro forma operating expenses
of $1.0 million, or 12.4% of total revenues, for the same period of 2008.
Reported operating income for the six month period rose 339.0% to $5.3
million,
from $1.2 million in pro forma operating income for the same period of 2008.
Reported operating margin increased 1,080 basis points to 25.5% for the six
months ended June 30, 2009, compared to pro forma operating margin of 14.7%
for the same period in 2008.  Net income reported for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 increased 384.1% to $5.0 million, compared to pro form net
income of $1.0 million in the same period of 2008.  Fully diluted earnings per
share rose 301.5% to $0.32, from $0.08 pro forma earnings per share for the
same period last year.
    * Yuhe's reported financial statements represent the consolidated results
      of Weifang Yuhe Poultry Co. Ltd., "PRC Yuhe", and Weifang Taihong Feed
      Co. Ltd., "Taihong", the Company's two operating subsidiaries, from
      January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009 and from February 1, 2008 to June 30,
      2008.  For comparison purposes, the Company has provided a pro forma
      consolidated statement of operations for PRC Yuhe and Taihong from
      January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008 to provide comparable presentation
      to its reported results for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  These
      pro forma results are discussed in this release, together with
      reconciliation to the reported financial information (table 4 below).
      Pro forma results are presented and discussed because the Company
      considers them useful in assessing performance between periods and in
      developing expectations of future performance.

    Financial Condition
    As of June 30, 2009 the Company had $17.3 million in cash and cash
equivalents and working capital of $4.8 million and a current ratio of 1.2.
The Company had $47.0 million in shareholders' equity compared to $41.6
million at the end of 2008.  In the first six months of 2009, Yuhe generated
$8.3 million in cash flow from operating activities.  Capital expenditures
were $4.7 million in the first half of the year and were primarily used for
the construction of two new breeder farms under construction that will have
100,000 sets of breeders each.
    The company entered into a letter of engagement with Ernst & Young in May
2009 for consulting related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.  The Company has
made positive progress towards reaching full compliance with Section 404 of
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by the end of fiscal 2009.
    Business Outlook
    "The Chinese economy has shown positive signs of recovery in recent
months,
and we believe Yuhe will continue to generate revenue growth from day-old
broilers sales.  We recently completed a comprehensive quality assessment of
the new Purina feed facility and we are beginning to gradually phase out in-
house feed production, which should contribute to improving margins over time.
We are making good progress on our two new breeder farms and an additional
hatchery is on track to be completed by the end of 2009.  In addition, we
expect the third quarter will be our best quarter of 2009 partly due to
seasonality.  In conclusion, we remain confident that we will be able to
achieve our fiscal 2009 guidance of $50 million in total revenue and $13
million in net income," stated Mr. Gao.
