BOSTON , July 13, 2011 (press release) – Converted Organics Inc. (OTCBB:COIN - News) announced today that 2011 year-to-date sales for the Company totaled $2,136,000, compared to $1,721,000 for the same period in 2010. Sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 were $1,398,000 compared to the sales for the same period in 2010, of $1,127,000 (Comparative Sales results for 2010 exclude $727,000 for the six month period and $579,000 for the quarter from discontinued operations).

"We are pleased with sales for 2011 overall, and with our progress in developing our businesses. TerraSphere announced that it had entered into a new license agreement with Eco-Leaf Farms for its vertical farming business in New Brunswick and the Atlantic Provinces this quarter and our Industrial Waste Water business continues to pursue opportunities while simultaneously contributing to sales. Our California facility sales in June were expected to help us achieve a quarterly record. However, June sales of $292,000 were not what we anticipated primarily due to weather. Our primary business is in agriculture, and as our customers are affected by weather so are we," said Edward Gildea, President & CEO of Converted Organics. Gildea continued, "April and May 2011 sales showed a strong increase over the prior year in California, and we hope to make up for the weather impact on June sales throughout the remainder of the year."
