ESP Resources, Inc. (OTCBB:ESPI) (the "Company" or "ESP Resources"), an oil and gas services company offering analytical services and essential custom-blended oil and gas well chemicals which improve production yields and overall efficiencies, announced unaudited financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, sales were $2,295,065, compared to $1,303,070 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $991,995, or 76.1%. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, sales were $4,110,221, compared to $2,318,646 for the same period in 2010, an increase of $1,791,575, or 77.3%. The increase was due to several factors including the expanded customer base from increased sales coverage in the Southern Louisiana, South Texas, Southeast Texas and Arkansas regions. The addition of field service technicians in the South Texas and Arkansas regions in previous quarters and their sales contacts resulted in a direct increase in sales volumes from these regions. In addition, sales volume increased from petrochemical sales and services to customers engaged in the hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells.

Gross profit was $1,405,066 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $894,022 for the same period in 2010. Gross profit was $2,192,231 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $1,356,605 for the same period in 2010.

Modified Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation amortization and stock-based compensation ("Modified EBITDA") are a non-GAAP financial measure. Modified EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $9,712, compared to ($160,108) for the same period in 2010. Modified EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $(416,951) compared to ($243,753) for the same period in 2010.

The Company's quarter-to-quarter revenue growth was approximately $480,000, or 26%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Commenting on the results, Mr. David Dugas, CEO of ESP Resources, Inc., stated, "June was a record month in our history with sales of over $1,000,000. In addition, this second quarter marks the first quarter in the company's history where we have topped $2,000,000 in sales. Our continued sales growth continues to highlight our performance to new and existing customers and the unique aspects of the product and services we offer, especially with the added impact of our petrochemical products and services to our customers in the fracking business. Furthermore, our overseas opportunities continue to develop dramatically and we are confident that this, coupled with the growth of our existing business, will continue to show these levels of sales increases in the coming quarters as well," Dugas stated further.

The Company uses Modified EBITDA as an unaudited supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance of its assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures, taxes or historical cost basis; the Company's liquidity and operating performance over time in relation to other companies that own similar assets and that the Company believes calculate Modified EBITDA in a similar manner; and the ability of the Company's assets to generate cash sufficient to pay potential interest costs. The Company also understands that such data are used by investors to assess its performance. However, the term Modified EBITDA is not defined under generally accepted accounting principles and Modified EBITDA is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. When assessing the Company's operating performance or liquidity, investors should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities, or other cash flow data calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
