DALLAS, TX, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
China Crescent Enterprises, Inc. (OTCBB: CCTR) today announced a three
year outsourcing services agreement with Beijing Chuangzhitongda
Technology Development Co., Ltd. The three year agreement is expected to
add approximately $30 million in revenue to China Crescent's more than
$40 million in existing profitable annual sales.
China Crescent recently announced launching a technology outsourcing
offering. The new offering is part of the Company's overall strategy to
increase margins and the percentage of its overall revenue generated from
recurring contracts. Beijing Chuangzhitongda Technology Development is
China Crescent's first outsourcing customer. China Crescent anticipates
engaging additional outsourcing customers over the course of the year.
The initiation of outsourcing services under the agreement announced today
is expected to commence within the current fiscal quarter. The agreement
announced today is a general agreement outlining the overall terms and
conditions of the outsourcing services. Complete details of the agreement
will encompass a series of supporting contracts and the anticipated $30
million in contract revenue is expected to be earned over the three year
contract period.
First Quarter 2009 Results
Last 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.
