Converted Organics Inc. Extends Date of 10-Q Filing to Incorporate Warrant Call Results

Converted Organics Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) announced today that the Company has filed a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to extend the filing date of its Form 10-Q quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2008 for up to five additional days. The Company took this action in order to include in the quarterly report the results of its Class A warrant (NASDAQ:COINW) redemption, which closed on November 13, 2008 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST). Converted Organics will file its Form 10-Q quarterly report with the SEC on or before November 19, 2008, instead of November 14, 2008.

“The results of Converted Organics’ warrant call were not known in time to meet the original filing date for the Form 10-Q; therefore, we filed for an extension to ensure that our quarterly report contains accurate disclosure and reflects the impact of the warrant redemption on the Company’s financial position,” said Edward J. Gildea, President of Converted Organics.

About Converted Organics Inc.

Converted Organics (NASDAQ:COIN), based in Boston, MA, is dedicated to producing valuable all-natural, organic soil amendment or fertilizer products through food waste recycling. The company uses proven, state-of-the-art technologies to create a product that helps grow healthier food and improve environmental quality. Converted Organics plans to sell and distribute its environmentally-friendly fertilizer products in the retail, turf management, and agribusiness markets.

Converted Organics' fertilizer products will be produced in both a dry pellet and liquid concentrate. Converted Organics' products have been tested in numerous field trials for more than a dozen crops with the result that, on average, the net value of the farmer's crop increased 11-16%, depending on the particular crop and product application. This is due, in part, to the disease suppression characteristics of the product, which reduce or eliminate the need for other costly, often toxic, crop protection applications. Increased use of nitrogen in commercial agriculture and turf grass applications, such as golf courses, has reduced the soil's ability to absorb nitrogen and other nutrients. Using the products produced by Converted Organics helps restore the soil by replenishing these micronutrients. This reduces the amount of nitrogen required in a virtuous cycle that benefits from long-term use. As a result, use of the product will reduce chemical run-off to streams, ponds and rivers, an objective with significant long-term benefits to the environment.

The products have a long shelf life compared to many other organic fertilizers. In a number of lab and field trials, the liquid product has been shown to be effective in mitigating powdery mildew, a leaf fungus that affects most plants and grasses and restricts the flow of water and nutrients to the plant. The Company's fertilizer products can be used on a stand-alone basis or in combination with more traditional fertilizers and crop protection products. Converted Organics expects to benefit from increased regulatory focus on organic waste processing and on environmentally-friendly growing practices.
