Linktone CEO Provides Company Update on Recent Achievements

To Our Shareholders, Partners and Friends:

Over the course of the last year, we have made a great deal of progress toward our strategic objectives. We have effectively transformed our company from a mobile value-added content and service provider in China, to a broad media and entertainment content and service provider in key geographies across Asia. We have expanded our customer base and broadened our geographic reach as well as diversified our product base, through which we can effectively distribute our growing portfolio of products to a vastly larger audience. I would like to take this opportunity to briefly review our accomplishments that have contributed to these achievements as well as discuss our future opportunities.

Geographic Expansion and Strategic Acquisitions

We have recently made several key additions to our businesses by acquiring majority and minority interests in companies that we believe support our growth strategy to strengthen our geographic footprint, expand our audience and broaden our portfolio. We now have core competencies and distribution capabilities throughout Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore with a broader base of products:

• LeTang Game, Limited: To accelerate our presence in the fast growing gaming market, in January 2010 we acquired a 50.01% controlling interest in LeTang, a private company specializing in the development of innovative and interactive content for mobile and online gamers in China.
• InnoForm: Together with our major shareholder, PT Media Nusantara Citra Tbk Group ("MNC Group")(1), in March 2010 we and MNC Group acquired 50% and 25% of the share capital of InnoForm, respectively, gaining us substantial distribution access to industry leading entertainment and edutainment video, music and movie products for both the English and Chinese language markets throughout Singapore and the Asian region. In June 2010, we subscribed for additional new shares of InnoForm and as a result, Linktone and MNC Group hold 75% and 12.5% of the equity interest of InnoForm, respectively.
• PT Linktone Indonesia - formerly PT Inti Idaman Nusantara ("IDN"): To expand our telecom value-added business beyond China, we acquired a 51% equity interest in IDN which offers telecom value-added services in Indonesia, Asia's third most populous market (the remaining 49% equity interest in IDN is held by MNC Group).
• Aerospace Satellite Corporation Holding B.V. ("Aerospace")(1): As part of the Company's cash management, in December 2010 we purchased US$20 million of senior secured notes of Aerospace, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PT MNC Sky Vision. In March 2011 we sold US$10 million of these notes in the open market with a gain of approximately 2% over the original purchase price. Utilizing our proceeds from the sale of the Aerospace notes, we acquired a stake of less than one percent in PT Global Mediacom Tbk(1)("Global Mediacom") through the open market purchase of 116 million common shares at IDR800 (approximately US$0.092) per share. Global Mediacom is Indonesia's largest integrated media company, operating the country's leading free-to-air and pay television services.

Our Products

We have significantly enriched our portfolio of products. We now have additional video, audio and games content that opens our market opportunity to a much larger audience. Particularly, we are focused on the entertainment and edutainment genres where we believe we can gain market traction, as these provide sizable opportunities among wireless device users as well as free-to-air and pay TV audiences, movie-goers and netizens. Some of the current home entertainment/theatrical titles that Innoform group will distribute in Singapore/Malaysia include Black Swan, Chronicles of Narnia, Glee, Harry Potter Series, Star Wars trilogy, Don't Click and Mr and Mrs Single.

Looking Ahead

We are beginning to gain traction among our new opportunities though our expanded market channels and rich content. For the first quarter of 2011, we are currently projecting gross revenues to be in the range of $16.0 million to $17.0 million, which includes revenue from our value-added services, distribution of owned and licensed products, and other services.

With our sturdy foundation of broad content, far reaching distribution channels and sound capital resources from which we can opportunistically allocate resources toward our future growth, we believe that we are well positioned to thrive among this expansive media and wireless entertainment services and market opportunity. As we continue to evolve our business, we maintain our ultimate goal of creating additional value for our company and our shareholders.
