“Fourth quarter results reflect strong organic growth and the contribution of our recently completed acquisitions. Asia’s robust economic growth continues to fuel demand for our products. We are focused on highly sought-after organic products, herbal and chemical extracts and natural and health supplements. ONE Bio represents a viable alternative to US investors seeking to invest in the growth of the Asia Pacific region but wanting a strong US domestic management team coupled with Asian operational expertise. We have put in place a solid foundation for strong organic growth and continue to seek strategic acquisitions,” stated Marius Silvasan, ONE’s CEO.
“Our 2009 GAAP results only partly reflect the operational performance of the businesses we acquired during 2009 since for accounting purposes we can only start booking the revenue and benefit of the net income of the companies acquired starting from the date of each acquisition. For this reason we have elected to show our investors pro-forma results which include historical financial performance for each business on a consolidated basis,” added Mr. Silvasan.
