China Crescent Enterprises, Inc. Releases 1st Quarter 2009 Webcast Reviewing $7.4 Million in Revenue With 15% Net Income Increase and $0.30 PPS Suggested Fair Value Target

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - May 22, 2009) - China Crescent Enterprises, Inc. (OTCBB: CCTR) has released an on-demand Webcast reviewing the Company's first quarter 2009 financial results. The Webcast also includes a review of the Company's recently announced suggested fair value target of $0.30 per share and the anticipated potential buy-in that could result from the Company's continued listing on the Regulation SHO threshold security list.

First Quarter 2009 Results

Earlier this week, China Crescent filed SEC Form 10-Q reporting the Company's performance for the first three months of 2009. Notably, net income increased 15% for the first three months of 2009, $112,000 compared to $97,000 for the same period last year. Management anticipates continued revenue and net income growth throughout 2009 to exceed the overall revenue and net income reported in 2008.

The Company reported an overall increase in revenue and net income in 2008 compared to 2007. With the net income increase in the first quarter of 2009, management is optimistic that the Company will continue to not only weather the global economic challenges, but continue to realize organic growth in spite of the challenges. The Company's sales are historically seasonal, increasing throughout the year and usually reporting the largest sales and profits in the 4th quarter. Management believes the decrease in first quarter sales compared to the previous period can be attributed to the overall economic slowdown and can be offset by the anticipated increase in sales throughout the year.
