2012-08-29 18:00 1550

XI'AN, China, August 29, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPU) ("SkyPeople" or "the Company"), a producer of fruit juice concentrates, fruit juice beverages and other fruit-related products, today announced that it is initiating financial guidance for the fiscal year 2012.

Based on the current business outlook, the Company forecasts revenue to be in the range of $90 million to $110 million, net income attributable to SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc. to be in the range of $16.2 million to $22.0 million and fully diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.61 to $0.83.

"Sustained customer demand across a range of our processed fresh fruit product lines should enable us to achieve our guidance expectations for the year 2012," said Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Yongke Xue.

The Company assesses its financial guidance using a variety of factors that include the current macroeconomic environment in China, the industry in which the Company competes, and detailed analysis of a large number of operational factors. These factors are subject to change. In particular, exogenous factors such as weather and its effect on fresh fruit growing seasons play a large role in the Company's achievement of its operating objectives. Although the Company's current planning and guidance expectations are consistent with management's long-term operating and business objectives, management reserves its right to reassess its guidance from time to time based on the changing factors that impact the Company's business and operation.
