US BioTec's TelStar Logistics Subsidiary Begins Operations; Company Ships First Freight.

LAS VEGAS -- US BioTec, Inc. (OTCBB:USBO), an emerging player in the rapidly growing bio-chemical sector of the multi-billion dollar agri-business industry, today announced that its new wholly-owned transportation subsidiary, TelStar Logistics Corp. (TLC) began shipping operations yesterday. TelStar Logistics sent its first leased-on truck out with a payload on April 12, 2005 and will send 4 additional trucks out on Thursday, April 14th. The company has commitments from Owner Operators that will allow TLC to have 14 leased-on trucks on the road by April 28th. TLC has secured financing to fund the initial phase of operations.

The over-the-road trucking industry is led by such well-known companies as J. B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:JBHT), Yellow Roadway Corp. (NASDAQ:YELL), CNF, Inc. (NYSE:CNF) and Swift Transportation (NASDAQ:SWFT).

TelStar will serve US BioTec in dual roles. First, rather than having to rely on outside vendors such as trucking companies and private over-the-road truckers to move raw materials from suppliers to US BioTec's (USBO) plants and finished product to its customers, the company believes that it was in its best interest to form its own transportation subsidiary. In addition to the potential cost savings, TLC should become a new revenue center for the company. USBO will use the same trucks that haul its raw materials and finished products, to also haul agricultural products, ice cream, frozen foods and vegetable produce grown by its bio-chemical clients'.

"The bank loan TelStar recently secured allowed the purchase of 14 refrigerated semi-trailers, which will be added to the existing fleet of 4 trailers already leased on. TLC also has completed its acquisition of Scorpion Logistics, a refrigerated transport company, using a combination of stock and cash. This acquisition allows us to immediately assume Scorpion's Department of Transportation (DOT) operating registration. TLC also assumed Scorpion's insurance carrier, which makes it possible to go forward immediately with expanding TLC's trailer fleet and freight brokering operations. The timing of this launch is perfect for US BioTec as well, as we should begin shipping our products to customers in a matter of weeks," says Jimmy Joyner, Chief Executive Officer of US BioTec, Inc.

"The timing of TLC's entry into the market is excellent as a volume of reposed equipment has been thrown on the market, making equipment purchases very economical. Freight rates are quickly rising to compensate for higher fuel prices, and at the same time a reduction of independent truckers giving up because high fuel prices has begun to cause a shortage of freight haulers. All these factors provide a smooth entree' into the refrigerated market," adds Joyner.

US BioTec has secured an executive management team with extensive trucking industry experience to manage the TLC subsidiary. Thomas Lynch President of TelStar Logistics Corp. and Dave Edwards, its Sr. Vice-President, have over 30 years of truck driving and truck company management experience between them. They bring dozens of contacts from at least 4 major freight brokers including, C.H. Robinson, the nation's largest broker. For direct access to shippers, USBO can provide contacts with large corporate vegetable operations that can allow for direct shipping from the shipper to the receiver without a middle broker.

The Company's offices are fully operational with networked computers linked to electronic load boards, Internet truckstops, and satellite monitoring equipment has been installed on each trailer so that they can be accessed via the Internet. TLC has set a goal of leasing-on 40 trucks that are operated by independent owner operators by December 31, 2005.

US BioTec was established to profitably develop, manufacture, market and distribute bio-degradable, non-toxic and non-carcinogenic products to agriculture, the commercial turf industry, forestry, golf courses, professional landscapers, nurseries and mass market retail lawn and garden markets. The agri-chemical industry is currently dominated by a handful of multi-national corporations like Syngenta (NYSE:SYT), Monsanto (NYSE:MON), Aventis, Dow Chemical (NYSE:DOW) and E.I. Du Pont (NYSE:DD) that supply the bulk of the world's pesticides. USBO is striving to be the U.S. market leader in the expanding bio-chemical sector of the annual multi-billion dollar agricultural chemical marketplace. The Company's products are designed to rehabilitate soils, repel insects and increase crop (plant) yields through environmentally-friendly alternatives to toxic man-made pesticides and caustic synthetic fertilizers produced by the current market leaders.
