Koether, Chairman (908) 234-9220 PURE WORLD ANNOUNCES SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN FIRST QUARTER ---------------------------------------------------------- REVENUES AND PROFITS -------------------- BEDMINSTER, NEW JERSEY - PURE WORLD, INC., (PURW-NASDAQ) ("Pure World" or the "Company") announced that revenues were $7,573,000 for the first quarter of 2003 compared to $3,632,000 for the first quarter of 2002. Net income for the first quarter of 2003 was $692,000 ($.09 per share) compared to a net loss of $594,000 ($.07 per share) for the same quarter in 2002. Paul O. Koether, Chairman, stated that the material increase in revenues and profits resulted from various factors including the introduction by several customers of new products containing Pure World extracts which may or may not result in significant business in the future; the commencement of a major processing contract for a multi-national consumer products company which is expected to extend at least two years; and the addition of many new customers both in dietary supplements and functional foods. Mr. Koether said that during the past two years, Pure World has invested significant funds in expanding its processing capabilities. New equipment has been added for wet and dry granulation and an additional spray dryer will be installed in the summer. A purification facility also is being constructed within the current plant and is expected to be operational by summer. Mr. Koether announced that he and other officers and directors would be purchasing up to 200,000 Pure World shares in open market transactions, dependent on price and market conditions. Pure World has 7,513,624 shares of common stock outstanding.
