of 18.7% from the corresponding period of 2007.

(US$0.140), respectively. Adjusted diluted net income per ADS excluding

an increase of 88.3% from 2007.

(US$0.707).

Commenting on the fourth quarter and full year results, Yinan Hu, Chairman and CEO of CNinsure stated: "In the fourth quarter, we faced a more challenging macroeconomic environment as the Chinese economy increasingly slowed down significantly as a result of the ongoing global economic crisis. Against this backdrop, we still achieved higher-than-expected revenue growth, with net revenues of RMB282 million for the quarter, exceeding our previous guidance."

He continued, "2008 was a tough year. The overall domestic insurance industry was negatively impacted by several events, including the severe snowstorms and the earthquake in China early in the year, and the recent global financial crisis and the ensuing slowdown in the Chinese economy. In 2008, CNinsure's board of directors and management team took various measures such as conducting organizational restructuring, enhancing risk control and recruiting talents to cope with the short-term challenges and capitalize on new opportunities. I am very proud that as a result of the efforts by all our team members, 2008 marked another harvest year for CNinsure. We continued to grow fast, with 88.3% and 25.0% growth in annual net revenues and net income. We established or acquired 25 entities in 2008, expanding our distribution network to encompass 48 operating entities in 17 provinces, covering life insurance, P&C insurance and claim adjusting. We were also named 'Best Insurance Intermediary Service Provider of the Year' by Sohu Business China.

"As the global economic crisis deepens, more uncertainties are expected in the growth prospect of the Chinese economy in 2009. However, we believe CNinsure, as a retail distributor of insurance products and after-sales service provider, will not be as impacted by the macroeconomic environment as some other sectors since the insurance industry will still be a hotspot in China's economic development for the next decade and the insurance intermediary sector, in which CNinsure has gained a leading position, is a relatively more stable part of the whole industry value chain. We believe we have the right solutions and strategies to cope with the new situations and deliver another year of success in 2009," he concluded.

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2008

Total net revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008 were RMB281.4 million (US$41.2 million), representing an increase of 77.3% from RMB158.7 million for the corresponding period of 2007. The increase was primarily driven by increase in commission rates for the life insurance business, the number of sales agents and productivity of existing sales agent, as well as contributions from the claims adjusting business, which was added in 2008, and other newly acquired entities.

Total operating costs and expenses were RMB230.9 million (US$33.8 million) for the fourth quarter of 2008, representing an increase of 105.2% from RMB112.5 million for the corresponding period of 2007.

Commissions and fees expenses were RMB145.9 million (US$21.4 million) for the fourth quarter of 2008, representing an increase of 75.3% from RMB83.2 million for the corresponding period of 2007. The increase was primarily due to sales growth and largely tracked the increase in net revenues from commissions and fees.

Selling expenses were RMB6.2 million (US$0.9 million) for the fourth quarter of 2008, representing an increase of 118.8% from RMB2.8 million for the corresponding period of 2007. The increase was primarily due to sales growth and the increase in expenses incurred by newly acquired entities.

General and administrative expenses were RMB78.8 million (US$11.5 million) for the fourth quarter of 2008, representing an increase of 198.0% from RMB26.4 million for the corresponding period of 2007. The increase was primarily due to increases in share-based compensation expenses, salaries for administrative staff as a result of increased headcount, ongoing legal and professional fees, and Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) compliance-related expenses. The share-based compensation expenses recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 mainly included a one-time charge of RMB29.6 million (US$4.3 million) incurred in connection with the surrender and cancellation of previously granted options to purchase an aggregate of 30,804,500 ordinary shares by various directors, officers and employees in December 2008 and RMB0.3 million (US$0.05 million) in connection with options to purchase an aggregate of 32,000,000 ordinary shares granted to certain directors, officers and employees in November 2008. In accordance with paragraph 57 of SFAS123R, a cancellation of an award that is not accompanied by the concurrent grant of (or offer to grant) a replacement award or other valuable consideration shall be accounted for as a repurchase for no consideration. Accordingly, any previously unrecognized compensation cost shall be recognized at the cancellation date. As of December 2008, there were outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 39,492,631 ordinary shares.

As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations was RMB50.6 million (US$7.4 million) for the fourth quarter of 2008, representing an increase of 9.4% from RMB46.2 million for the corresponding period of 2007. Operating margin was 18.0% for the fourth quarter of 2008 as compared with 29.1% for the corresponding period of 2007. Non-GAAP operating margin excluding one-time share-based compensation expense was 28.5% for the quarter of 2008.

Interest income for the fourth quarter of 2008 was RMB11.4 million (US$1.7 million), representing an increase of 4.5% from RMB10.9 million for the corresponding period of 2007, primarily attributable to the amount of cash generated from operations.

Income tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2008 was RMB17.6 million (US$2.6 million), representing an increase of 444.3% from RMB3.2 million for the corresponding period of 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to the expiration of income tax exemptions for some subsidiaries starting from January 1, 2008. Effective income tax rate was 28.3% for the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to 5.7% for the corresponding period of 2007. Apart from the foregoing factor, the increase in the effective income tax rate was due to the fact that share-based compensation expenses, legal and audit fees and other expenses incurred outside China were excluded from the tax-deductible items for PRC tax purposes.

Net income was RMB43.7 million (US$6.4 million) for the fourth quarter of 2008, representing a decrease of 18.7% from RMB53.8 million for the corresponding period of 2007.

Net margin was 15.6% for the fourth quarter of 2008 as compared with 33.9% for the corresponding period of 2007. Non-GAAP net margin excluding one-time share-based compensation expense was 26.1% for the fourth quarter of 2008.

Fully diluted net income per ADS was RMB0.954 (US$0.140) for the fourth quarter of 2008, as compared with RMB1.275 for the corresponding period of 2007. Adjusted diluted net income per ADS excluding one-time share-based compensation expense (non-GAAP) was RMB1.601 (US$0.235) for the fourth quarter of 2008.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had RMB1,508.4 million (US$221.1 million) in cash and cash equivalents.

Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2008

Total net revenues for fiscal year 2008 were RMB843.9 million (US$123.7 million), representing an 88.3% increase from RMB448.1 million for fiscal year 2007, primarily driven by the growth in the number of sales agents, an increase in commission rates and higher productivity of sales agents in the distribution of life insurance products as well as revenues contributed by the claims adjusting companies acquired in the first half of 2008.

For fiscal year 2008, total operating costs and expenses were RMB633.1 million (US$92.8 million), representing an increase of 104.1% from RMB310.2 million in fiscal year 2007.

Commissions and fees expenses for fiscal year 2008 were RMB436.6 million (US$64.0 million), representing an increase of 87.7% from RMB232.6 million in fiscal year 2007. The increase was primarily reflected sales growth and largely tracked the increase in net revenues from commissions and fees.

Selling expenses for fiscal year 2008 were RMB17.3 million (US$2.5 million), representing an increase of 82.1% from RMB9.5 million in fiscal year 2007. The increase was primarily due to the sales growth and the increase in expenses incurred by newly acquired entities.

General and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2008 were RMB179.2 million (US$26.3 million), representing an increase of 162.9% from RMB68.2 million in fiscal year 2007, primarily as the result of the following factors: 1) recognition of share-based compensation expenses for options granted in October of 2007, including recognition of the remaining un-amortized expenses for the October 2007 grants in the fourth quarter of 2008 for the surrender and cancellation of options; 2) increase in salaries for administrative staff as a result of increased headcount; 3) increase in expenses for ongoing professional services, and 4) SOX compliance-related expenses.

As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations for fiscal year 2008 was RMB210.7 million (US$30.9 million), representing an increase of 52.8% from RMB137.9 million for fiscal year 2007. Operating margin was 25.0% as compared with 30.8% for fiscal year 2007. Non-GAAP operating margin excluding one-time share-based compensation expense was 28.5% for the fiscal year 2008.

For fiscal year 2008, total interest income was RMB48.0 million (US$7.0 million), representing an increase of 195.4% from RMB16.2 million in fiscal year 2007, primarily attributable to an increase in cash as a result of our initial public offering in October 2007.

For the fiscal year 2008, income tax expense was RMB64.4 million (US$9.4 million), representing an increase of 1,926.5% from RMB3.2 million for the fiscal year 2007. The increase was primarily attributable to the expiration of income tax exemptions for some subsidiaries starting from January 1, 2008. Effective income tax rate was 24.8% for the fiscal year 2008 compared to 2.1% for the fiscal year 2007. Apart from the expiration of income tax exemptions, the increase in the effective income tax rate was also due to the exclusion of share-based compensation expense, legal and audit fees and other expenses incurred outside China as tax-deductible items for PRC tax purpose.

For the fiscal year 2008, net income was RMB191.6 million (US$28.1 million), representing an increase of 24.9% from RMB153.4 million for the fiscal year 2007. Net margin was 22.7% for the fiscal year 2008, as compared with 34.2% for the fiscal year 2007. Non-GAAP net margin excluding one-time share-based compensation expense recorded in the fourth quarter was 26.2% for the fiscal year 2008.

Fully diluted net income per ADS was RMB4.176 (US$0.612) for the fiscal year 2008, as compared with RMB4.286 for the fiscal year 2007. Adjusted diluted net income per ADS excluding one-time share-based compensation expense (non-GAAP) was RMB4.822 (US$0.707) for the fiscal year 2008.

Forward-looking Statements

This press release contains statements of a forward-looking nature. These statements are made under the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these forward- looking statements by terminology such as "will," "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "intends," "estimates" and similar statements. Among other things, the management's quotations and the Business Outlook section contain forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about CNinsure and the industry. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those relating to CNinsure's limited operating history, especially its limited experience in selling life insurance products, its ability to attract and retain productive agents, especially entrepreneurial agents, its ability to maintain existing and develop new business relationships with insurance companies, its ability to execute its growth strategy, its ability to adapt to the evolving regulatory environment in the Chinese insurance industry, its ability to compete effectively against its competitors, quarterly variations in its operating results caused by factors beyond its control and macroeconomic conditions in China and their potential impact on the sales of insurance products. All information provided in this press release is as of February 24, 2009, and CNinsure undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent occurring events or circumstances, or to changes in its expectations, except as may be required by law. Although CNinsure believes that the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot assure you that its expectations will turn out to be correct, and investors are cautioned that actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement CNinsure's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, CNinsure uses in this release the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: operating income excluding one-time share-based compensation expense, operating margin excluding one-time share-based compensation expense, net income excluding one-time share-based compensation expense, net margin excluding one-time share-based compensation expense, and diluted net income per ADS excluding one-time share-based compensation expense. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this release.

CNinsure believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding the one-time charge of RMB 29.6 million (US$4.3 million) recognized as share-based compensation expenses in the fourth quarter of 2008, as a result of the surrender and cancellation of options to purchase an aggregate of 30,804,500 ordinary shares by various option holders in December 2008. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company's performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. A limitation of using operating income excluding one-time share-based compensation expense, operating margin excluding one-time share-based compensation expense, net income excluding one-time share-based compensation expense, net margin excluding one-time share-based compensation expense, and diluted net income per ADS excluding one-time share-based compensation expense is that these non-GAAP measures exclude the one-time share-based compensation charge that was a significant expense in the fourth quarter of 2008. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
