Commenting on the financial results, Mr. Yinan Hu, chairman and CEO of CNinsure stated: "We are very pleased to achieve our operating targets with solid financial results, which has once again proved the viability of our business model. Amid the global financial crisis, the management has effectively capitalized on new growth opportunities and proactively explored new ways to develop the Company, which has further enhanced our competitiveness and laid a solid foundation for the Company's sustainable growth in the coming years.

"During the first half of 2009, the Company continued its strategic investments in expanding its distribution and service network, especially that of Datong segment ("Datong"), the second distribution arm for life insurance products. The investment, though important strategically, will inevitably impose adverse impact on our current operating income. As of June 30, 2009, Datong has already established 10 insurance agencies, 23 sales outlets and 126 sales teams in 10 provinces in China, with four more provincial agencies to be established later this year. We anticipate that Datong will contribute more significantly to our net income growth starting from the third quarter of this year. In addition, the investment in replacing our legacy IT systems and deploying a new one, which started from the first half of 2008 and gradually being put into use in 2009, also imposed some pressure on our operating income. Excluding the aforementioned factors, our operating income would have grown by approximately 38% year-over-year in the first half of 2009. Despite the short-term adverse impact, we believe that investing in our distribution network and IT system is essential to our long-term sustainable growth. That is why it is extremely important for the Company to allocate resources strategically to fund these investments while ensuring the delivery of our net income growth target. The sound bottom line for the second quarter has evidenced the management's effective allocation of resources to achieve our near-term net income target and facilitate our pursuit of medium-to-long term strategic objective.

"Since 2008, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (the "CIRC") has taken a series of measures to regulate the insurance market in order to maintain a sound and stable development of the insurance industry. These measures included rolling out nation-wide 'no auto insurance policy issued before paid-up premium,' requiring higher registered capital for access to independent insurance intermediary sector, strengthening law enforcement against industry malpractices and illegal activities, further tightening supervision upon insurers' solvency, and promoting insurers to maintain a product mix with emphasis on protection and guarantee. We expect these regulatory changes will lead to a further consolidation in the independent insurance intermediary sector, from which we believe CNinsure, as a leading player in the insurance intermediary market, will benefit significantly."

He continued: "The CIRC has recently issued 'Measures to Reform the Insurance Marketing System' (a draft version for public opinion solicitation) ("Measures"). According to the Measures, the CIRC aims to do away with the pyramid structure that is commonly used in organizing insurance sales agents, and replace that with a brand-new insurance retail distribution system, within five years, which will clarify the employment status for all insurance sales agents, facilitate multi-channel development rather than captive agency alone, and bring more dynamism and vigor into the market. CNinsure's business model and persistence in building up a 'service platform' will enable us to have a first move advantage and play an active role in the reforming process by supporting the independently registered insurance agents to continue their customer-driven and demand-based marketing practice. In anticipation of the change, CNinsure launched a fee-based 'platform and service utilization program' on a trial basis in two of its subsidiaries in the second quarter. We expect this new revenue model, if successfully applied to more subsidiaries of the Company, will have a positive impact on our overall gross margin and net margin, fully evidencing the value of our operating platform and nationwide distribution network as dual engines driving the growth of the Company in the past years and years to come."

Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2009

Total net revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 were RMB285.7 million (US$41.8 million), representing an increase of 33.0% from RMB214.8 million for the corresponding period of 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to:

(1) an increase in the number of our sales professionals and claims

adjusters by 69.3% to 34,276 and 82.1% to 1,262, respectively, by the

second quarter of 2009, with operations in 22 provinces compared to 13

provinces one year ago,

(2) newly acquired entities and

(3) the increase in performance bonuses paid by life insurers as a result

of growth in sales volume and more contracts entered into with life

insurers at corporate headquarter levels.

Total operating costs and expenses were RMB203.3 million (US$29.8 million) for the second quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 41.1% from RMB144.1 million for the corresponding period of 2008.

Commissions and fees expenses were RMB141.4 million (US$20.7 million) for the second quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 29.3% from RMB109.3 million for the corresponding period of 2008. The increase was primarily due to sales growth and largely tracked the increase in net revenues from commissions and fees.

Selling expenses were RMB11.6 million (US$1.7 million) for the second quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 309.8% from RMB2.8 million for the corresponding period of 2008. The significant increase was primarily due to sales growth and the increase in expenses incurred by newly established and acquired branches and sales outlets.

General and administrative expenses were RMB50.3 million (US$7.4 million) for the second quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 57.4% from RMB31.9 million for the corresponding period of 2008. The increase was primarily due to the following factors:

(1) increases in office rental expenses and expenses incurred by newly

acquired entities and the expansion of distribution and service

network;

(2) increases in depreciation of fixed assets as a result of the operation

of our upgraded IT system in affiliated entities;

(3) increases in headcount, particularly the recruitment of more

high-calibred senior managers, and higher basic salaries for the

managerial and administrative staff; and

(4) increases in amortization of intangible assets as a result of the

acquisitions that we made in 2008 and 2009.

As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations was RMB82.4 million (US$12.1 million) for the second quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 16.5% from RMB70.7 million for the corresponding period of 2008. Operating margin was 28.8% for the second quarter of 2009, compared to 32.9% for the corresponding period of 2008.

In the second quarter of 2009, the Company acquired additional 41% and 46% of equity interests in Hangzhou Fanhua Zhixin Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. ("Zhixin") and Zhengzhou Fanhua Anlian Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. ("Anlian"), respectively. The net effect of the acquisitions on the Consolidated Statements of Operations of the Company was RMB8.2 million (US$1.2 million) in aggregate, as a result of the follow factors:

(1) Recognition of RMB18.9 million (US$2.8 million) investment income,

representing gains from re-measuring the 10% and 5% equity interests

formerly held by the Company in Zhixin and Anlian, respectively(2). As

a result, RMB4.7 million (US$0.7 million) deferred income tax expense

was recognized, which was included in income tax expense; and

(2) Recognition of RMB5.9 million (US$0.9 million) expense, resulting from

changes in the fair value of contingent consideration payables for

acquisitions of Zhixin and Anlian(2).

Interest income for the second quarter of 2009 was RMB8.8 million (US$1.3 million), representing a decrease of 17.5% from RMB10.7 million for the corresponding period of 2008, primarily due to the decrease in bank deposit interest rate.

Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2009 was RMB30.4 million (US$4.5 million), representing an increase of 58.9% from RMB19.2 million for the corresponding period of 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to:

(1) the increase of effective income tax rate in Shenzhen from 18% in 2008

to 20% in 2009,

(2) changes in fair value of contingent consideration payables which were

non-tax deductible for China tax purpose, and

(3) the increase of expenses incurred outside China, including legal and

audit fees, and share-based compensation expense, which were non-tax

deductible for China tax purpose. Effective income tax rate was 29.2%

for the second quarter of 2009, compared to 23.5% for the

corresponding period of 2008.

Net income attributable to the Company's shareholders was RMB84.6 million (US$12.4 million) for the second quarter of 2009, representing an increase of 39.5% from RMB60.6 million for the corresponding period of 2008.

Net margin was 29.6% for the second quarter of 2009, compared to 28.2% for the corresponding period of 2008.

Basic net income per ADS was RMB1.854 (US$0.271) for the second quarter of 2009, compared to RMB1.329 for the corresponding period of 2008, representing an increase of 39.5% from the corresponding period of 2008. Fully diluted net income per ADS was RMB1.835 (US$0.269) for the second quarter of 2009, compared to RMB1.329 for the corresponding period of 2008, representing an increase of 38.1% from the corresponding period of 2008.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had RMB1,748.4 million (US$256.0 million) in cash and cash equivalents.

Total net revenues for the first half of 2009 were RMB501.6 million (US$73.4 million), representing a 42.7% increase from RMB351.5 million for the corresponding period of 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to:

of growth in sales volume and more contracts entered into with life

insurers at corporate headquarter levels.

Selling expenses for the first half of 2009 were RMB19.4 million (US$2.8 million), representing an increase of 178.0% from RMB7.0 million for the corresponding period of 2008. The significant increase was primarily due to sales growth and the increase in expenses incurred by newly established and acquired branches and sales outlets.

General and administrative expenses for the first half of 2009 were RMB90.9 million (US$13.3 million), representing an increase of 49.7% from RMB60.7 million for the corresponding period of 2008. The increase was primarily due to the following factors:

(1) increases in office rental expenses and expenses incurred by newly

acquired entities and the expansion of distribution and service

network;

(2) increases in depreciation of fixed assets as a result of the operation

of our upgraded IT system in affiliated entities;

(3) increases in headcount, particularly the recruitment of more

high-calibred senior managers, and higher basic salaries for the

managerial and administrative staff; and

(4) increases in amortization of intangible assets as a result of

acquisitions we made in 2008 and 2009.

As a result of the foregoing factors, income from operations for the first half of 2009 was RMB128.3 million (US$18.8 million), representing an increase of 24.1% from RMB103.4 million for the corresponding period of 2008.

result of the investment income, RMB4.7 million (US$0.7 million)

deferred income tax expense was recognized, which was included in

income tax expense, and

(2) recognition of RMB5.9 million (US$0.9 million) expense, resulting from

changes in fair value of contingent consideration payable for

acquisitions of Zhixin and Anlian(2).

For the first half of 2009, total interest income was RMB18.6 million (US$2.7 million), representing a decrease of 21.6% from RMB23.7 million for the corresponding period of 2008, primarily due to the decrease in bank deposit interest rate.

For the first half of 2009, income tax expense was RMB45.9 million (US$6.7 million), representing an increase of 51.3% from RMB30.4 million for the corresponding period of 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to:

to 20% in 2009,
