SmartHeat Inc. (Website: www.smartheatinc.com) (OTCBB: SMHT), a market

leader in China’s “green” technology heat energy saving industry, today

announced record financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

SmartHeat generated revenues of $5.56 million, compared to $1.16 million in

the same period in 2007, an increase of approximately 380%. The sales

increase was primarily due to the expansion of the company’s sales force,

growth of SmartHeat’s existing sales channels which developed new customers

and the extension of the company’s customer base into new markets in China.

SmartHeat expects its growth momentum to continue through the remainder of

2008.

Net income for the quarter was $732,412, compared to approximately $3,219

for the same period in 2007. This increase is attributed to greater

economies of scale combined with rapid growth in revenues and significantly

improved operating efficiency. SmartHeat believes that net income growth

momentum will continue in the second half of 2008.

James Jun Wang, SmartHeat’s CEO, commented: “We are very pleased with the

2nd quarter financial results. Our strong financial performance reflects

implementation of our growth strategies in a favorable market environment

as China embraces more energy efficient products. SmartHeat stands to

benefit greatly from China’s ‘green’ movement towards clean environment as

our efficient energy saving products reduce heat energy use by as much as

50%. We look forward to continued execution of our growth plan as we enter

two of SmartHeat’s strongest quarters.”
