China Crescent Enterprises, Inc. Announces Plans to Increase Profitability From Systems Integration Operations in China

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - December 12, 2008) - China Crescent Enterprises, Inc. (OTCBB: CCSE) today announced plans for the Company to increase its stake and profitability in the Chinese market. United States gross domestic product is expected to shrink by 0.8% in 2009, while China will grow at 8.8%. China Crescent is a U.S. company that provides technology products and services in China, with its primary office in Shanghai. China Crescent has reported $30.3 million in revenue for the first nine months of this year and reported $40 million in revenue in 2007.

As part of the initiative to grow its presence and profitability in China, China Crescent plans to increase its ownership in one of its Chinese operating subsidiaries by 25%. China Crescent currently has a 51% ownership in the Chinese subsidiary and plans to acquire the increased position from the Chinese operating subsidiary's minority shareholder. That subsidiary currently focuses on hardware and software systems integration. Through the Company's increased ownership in the Chinese operating subsidiary, net income would correspondingly increase as the Company continues to mature. China Crescent has focused on the growing need in China for computer hardware and software since its inception in 2005. China, as with other emerging markets, has a ravenous appetite for hardware and support services to build out its nationwide computer infrastructure.

Forbes Says Look East for Growth

Forbes recently published an article addressing the need for U.S.-based companies to look East, specifically to China and India for continued growth. China's 2009 GDP is projected to be 8.8%, compared to the United States' 0.8%. During past financial crises, China and India have not had strong enough purchasing power to absorb the financial stress of other international markets. But with a rapidly increasing middle class in those countries, expected to reach 290 million in China by 2011, that is changing.
