Consumer Capital Group Inc. Releases First Quarter 2012 Results, Reports Revenue Growth

PASADENA, Calif., May 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumer Capital Group, Inc. (OTCBB: CCGN) ("CCG" or the "Company"), primarily engaged in the development and operation of its retailing website "Chinese Consumer Market Network," which provides manufacturers and distributors a platform to promote and sell products and services directly to consumers in China, today announced that it released its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

"I am very pleased with our progress," said Jack Gao, President and Chief Executive Officer of CCG. "Our e-commerce business experienced solid growth as we continued to distinguish Chinese Consumer Market Network amongst competitors whom primarily focus on consumer-to-consumer transactions. Our full business-to-consumer approach to e-commerce includes offering wide variety of consumer goods and services, including many products that are generally unavailable in China from countries such as the U.S., Spain, Germany and France. Moreover, we continued to utilize our unique sweepstakes and incentives programs to attract consumers to our website in a low-cost and effective fashion."

"While we maintained our focus on the development of our core competency in e-commerce technology, which enables us to avoid the overhead and operational difficulties of logistics and supply chains, we also continued to develop our debit card program, in which we are working with Fuxin City Bank in China to distribute co-branded debit cards," added Mr. Gao. "We are confident that we will be able to maintain our momentum in upcoming quarters while further focus on building out both of these businesses."

Selected First Quarter (Q1) 2012 Financial Results

Revenue

CCG's e-commerce business had sales of 1.0 million in Q1 2012 compared to sales of $0.6 million in Q1 2011, an increase of $0.4 million or 66%. The increase was primarily due to the successful marketing by the Company's dealers.

Business Outlook

"In December 2011, we signed several dealer agreements including one with China Unionpay, which is the only card management company like Visa and Master Card in China," remarked Mr. Gao. "This was a huge step for us in terms of building out our debit card program, as China Unionpay has millions of POS machines installed all over China. We are confident that with the cooperation of China Unionpay and other dealers, we will be able to continue rapidly developing our vendor system, with the goal of this business generating revenue later in 2012."
