--------NEWS------------ NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 19, 1998--Tianrong Building Material Holdings, Ltd. (OTC BB: TNRG) announced today that Tianrong Sports will be the first of its previously announced three stock dividend payouts. In each case, Tianrong Sports, Tianrong Defense Technologies and Tianrong Medical Technologies, TNRG will spin-off 10% of publicly traded stock in the subsidiaries to shareholders of TNRG stock. TNRG is now in the process of proceeding to have Tianrong Sports fully audited so that proper submissions can be made to the Securities and Exchange Commission in preparation for the stock dividend. TNRG owns interests in a franchise of the United States Basketball League (USBL) and in the Cavalcade of Boxing. TNRG has determined that both the interests in the USBL franchise and in the Cavalcade of Boxing will be placed in Tianrong Sports. James Tilton, president of TNRG, stated: "It is always important for a company to follow through on its promises to shareholders, but it is particularly important for a young company with a new philosophy to do so. This is why I consider it a first line priority for TNRG to deliver on its goal of spinning-off a part of three separate divisions. It is important for our loyal shareholders. It is important for TNRG's credibility and it is important to help define the values within TNRG."
