"During the fourth quarter, 'Dragon Nest' continued to gain impressive reception in Mainland China, Japan and Taiwan, making it the most successful recent game release in Asia. We are also encouraged by the favorable launch of 'Hades Realm II' in China in November. In addition, we will continue to bring high quality titles to Chinese gamers, including 'Legend of Immortals,' 'Bubble Fighters,' 'Final Fantasy XIV,' and 'Sudden Attack' and 'Point Blank,' which are the top selling first person shooting games (FPS) in Korea and Indonesia, respectively.

"Additionally, we are seeing an accelerated growth in our international business, driven by successful launches of new titles in overseas markets. We expect to further expand our business geographically to take full advantage of our high-quality titles and operational expertise.

"Our performance in the fourth quarter of 2010 gives us confidence in our competitive position, our capabilities, and our future. Our continuing focus on quality content combined with the spirit of innovation has served us well and laid a solid foundation for a sustainable business as we move into the new year," concluded Mr. Tan.

Fourth Quarter 2010 Financial Results

Net Revenues. Net revenues were RMB1,152.5 million (US$174.0 million), representing an increase of 5.1% from RMB1,096.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 and a decrease of 13.7% from RMB1,336.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Net revenues from MMORPGs, which represents net MMORPG revenues generated in China, and net revenues from advanced casual games, which represents net advanced casual game revenues generated in China, accounted for 90.3% and 5.4% of total net revenues, respectively. Other revenues, which primarily represents net overseas revenues generated from game licensing, game operations, and advertising, accounted for 4.3% of total net revenues.

Net revenues from MMORPGs were RMB1,040.9 million (US$157.2 million), representing a 7.1% increase from RMB971.7 million in the third quarter of 2010 and a 17.0% decline from RMB1,254.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The sequential increase in revenues was primarily due to the full quarter contribution from Dragon Nest, which was launched in late July 2010. APA for MMORPGs increased 3.0% sequentially to 9.46 million. ARPU for MMORPGs increased 4.0% from RMB35.2 in the preceding quarter to RMB36.7 in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Net revenues from advanced casual games were RMB61.9 million (US$9.3 million), representing a 18.9% decline from RMB76.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 and a 0.2% decline from RMB62.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The sequential decrease in revenue was primarily due to seasonality, for which the third quarter of each year is usually a high season with the summer holidays and ChinaJoy promotions. As a result, APA for advanced casual games decreased 10.5% sequentially to 0.75 million, and ARPU decreased 9.3% sequentially to RMB27.7.

Other revenues in the fourth quarter of 2010 were RMB49.7 million (US$7.5 million), an increase of 2.9% from RMB48.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 and an increase of 151.0% from RMB19.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Gross margin was 60.8% in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with 59.0% in the third quarter of 2010 and 60.0% in the fourth quarter of 2009. The sequential increase in gross margin was mainly attributable to an increase in revenues generated from in-house games as a percentage of net revenues.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2010 were RMB376.1 million (US$56.7 million), compared with RMB340.7 million in the third quarter of 2010 and RMB320.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

The sequential increase in research and development expenses was mainly due to a full-quarter consolidation of Eyedentity Games' R&D expenses and an increase in R&D headcount during the fourth quarter of 2010. Research and development expenses represented 11.9% of net revenues, compared with 10.6% in the third quarter of 2010 and 7.9% in the fourth quarter of 2009.

General and administrative expenses increased 15.7% quarter-over-quarter and 17.4% year-over-year to RMB100.4 million (US$15.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2010. The sequential increase in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to higher rebate of business tax paid by the Company's subsidiaries during the third quarter as well as an increase in share-based compensation expenses in the fourth quarter of 2010. General and administrative expenses accounted for 8.7% of net revenues, compared with 7.9% in the third quarter of 2010 and 6.4% in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Note to the Financial Information

The unaudited financial information disclosed in this press release is preliminary. The audit of the financial statements and related notes to be included in the Company's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010 is still in progress. In addition, because an audit of the Company's internal controls over financial reporting in connection with section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has not yet been completed, the Company makes no representation as to the effectiveness of those internal controls as of the end of fiscal year 2010. Adjustments to the financial statements may be identified when the audit work is completed, which could result in significant differences between the Company's audited financial statements and this preliminary unaudited financial information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals in the United States, or GAAP, this press release includes non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income and adjusted earning per ADS, each of which is adjusted to exclude share-based compensation. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important to help investors understand the Company's current financial performance and future prospects, compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and assess the Company's core operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see the financial statements included with this press release.
