HARBIN, China, Jan. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Weikang Bio-Technology Group Co., Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: WKBT) ("Weikang" or the "Company"), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Western prescription and OTC pharmaceuticals and other health and nutritional products in the People's Republic of China, today announced sales contributions made by the Company's three newest sales agents during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010.

Sales revenue generated by the three agents, who began working with Weikang at the beginning of October 2010, totaled $6.03 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Yongxin Zhao, the Company's agent for Changsha, in Hunan Province, achieved $2.06 million in sales revenue during the fourth quarter. Yelin Tian, Weikang's new agent in the city of Nanning, in Guangxi Province, contributed $2.05 million in sales revenue during the quarter.

In November, we estimated that our new agents in Changsha, Nanning, and Zhuzhou would bring in annual revenue of roughly $15 million, and we are pleased that they are already on track to exceed our original projections. The exceptional effort from our entire sales team has allowed us to maximize the effectiveness of our recent product launches and increased advertising investment in the second half of 2010, driving dramatic growth beyond our expectations in both sales and profit for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2010."
