China Direct Reports $4.8 Million in April & May 2006 Generator Sales Contracts a 3,800% Increase over 2005 Sales

Results for First Two Months of Second Quarter Exceed Entire First Quarter Contracted Generator Sales

COOPER CITY, Fla., June 7, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ --
China Direct Trading Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: CHDT) today announced that its Complete Power Solutions (CPS) subsidiary had total contracted generator sales for April and May 2006 of $4.8 million, which surpasses the total for the entire three months of the first quarter of FY 2006 of $4.2 million. The default rate for generator contract sales for the period January 2006 through May 2006 has remained at a low two percent of total contract sales.

"Consumer demand continues to run high for Complete Power Solutions' generators and we have invested in the inventory and installation personnel qualification that will enhance CPS' ability to fill generator sales contracts in a timely manner," said William Dato, CPS President. "CPS proprietary pre-formed low-vibration generator slabs have proven to be an extremely popular sales item to other standby power providers," he added.
