Benda Comments on Stock Price Decline

Business Wire, Nov 16, 2007

HUBEI PROVINCE, China -- Benda Pharmaceutical, Inc. ("Benda" or the "Company") (OTCBB: BPMA), a China-based pharmaceutical company producing traditional Chinese and conventional medicines, as well as Gendicine([R]), the world's first commercialized gene therapy medicine for the treatment of cancer, has provided the following comment regarding the stock's recent trading history:

"Benda's stock price has experienced a sharp decline this week as a result of selling associated with SEC Rule 144. On November 15, 2006, Benda completed a $12 MM private placement with several investors. While a registration statement registering the shares underlying the private placement has been filed with the SEC, it has not yet been declared effective. Therefore, to date, investors in the $12 MM private placement have not been able to sell any shares purchased in the private placement. Under SEC Rule 144, after shares have been held by a shareholder for one year, such shareholder can sell up to 1% of a company's total outstanding shares during any 90 day period (the SEC approved a rule today to reduce the holding period to 6 months). Benda is of the opinion that certain investors in the $12 MM private placement are now availing themselves of that opportunity," stated Mr. Yiqing Wan, Benda Chairman and CEO. "Benda has not deviated to any degree from its business plan and continues to execute. Moreover, Benda has consistently communicated all material financial and operational information to investors - the stock price decline is in no way the result of any information not yet made publicly available."
