SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- The9 Limited (Nasdaq: NCTY) ("The9"), an online game operator and developer in China, announced today its unaudited financial results for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2010.
Financial Highlights: First Quarter 2010 -- Net revenues for the first quarter of 2010 increased by 6% quarter- over-quarter but decreased by 95% year-over-year to RMB22.1 million (US$3.3 million). -- Net loss for the first quarter of 2010 decreased by 63% quarter-over- quarter but increased by 62% year-over-year to RMB75.8 million (US$11.2 million).

The decrease in year-over-year net revenues in both quarters was mainly due to the decrease in revenue from World of Warcraft ("WoW"), for which the license agreement expired on June 7, 2009.
Business Highlights:
In January 2010, The9 launched its first proprietary 2D MMORPG, World of Fighter, which has been well received by China domestic game players and licensed to Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam and Thailand.
In April 2010, The9 acquired a majority interest in Red 5 Studios, Inc., an online game studio based in Los Angeles.
In June 2010, The9 set up The9 Interactive, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary based in San Jose, to focus on operating our proprietary games in the U.S. and searching for overseas business opportunity.
In June 2010, The9 and Sony Online Entertainment entered into an agreement pursuant to which The9 obtained an exclusive license to operate Free Realms, a 3D cartoon fairy massively multiplayer online role-playing game in mainland China.
In July 2010, The9 made a strategic minority equity investment in Aurora Feint Inc, a San Francisco-based company that develops mobile games and operates OpenFeint, a leading mobile social platform for iphones and smart phones. Thousands of mobile game developers use OpenFeint and there are more than 28 million registered users and 2,200 games live in the Apple App Store.
Management Comments:
Commenting on the first half 2010 results, Jun Zhu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The9 said, "The first half 2010 has been a meaningful and important period to The9. We took this opportunity to restructure and reposition The9. We now have a very clear direction to our future business model in the global internet market. Our global strategy includes three core tactics. First of all, we view our internet business from a global perspective, for example, by investing in US-based companies to enter into the global market; secondly, regarding the domestic online game market, we will further expand by various means including proprietary development, cooperation, licensing etc.; thirdly, we will step into different sections in the global internet market in respondent to new changes in the market, including mobile internet. Although today The9 is still making a loss, we firmly believe that as long as we implement our global internet strategy and be innovative to changes in internet market, we will pass through the transition period and our financial results will be improved."
Discussion of The9's Unaudited First and Second Quarter 2010 Results
Revenues
For the first quarter of 2010, The9 reported total net revenues were RMB22.1 million (US$3.3 million), which increased by 6% compared to RMB20.9 million (US$3.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009 and decreased by 95% compared to RMB426.2 million (US$62.8 million) in the first quarter of 2009. The quarter-over-quarter increase in revenues was mainly due to the commercialization of World of Fighter in January 2010. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the expiration of WoW license in June 2009.
For the second quarter of 2010, The9 reported total net revenues were RMB25.4 million (US$3.7 million), which increased by 15% compared to RMB22.1 million (US$3.3 million) in the first quarter of 2010 but decreased by 91% compared to RMB287.9 million (US$42.5 million) in the second quarter of 2009. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to the revenue generated from Kingdom Heroes Online 2 which was commercialized in May 2010. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the expiration of WoW license in June 2009.
Gross Profit (Loss)
Gross profit for the first quarter of 2010 was RMB1.7 million (US$0.3 million) compared to gross loss of RMB76.0 million (US$11.2 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009 and gross profit of RMB67.9 million (US$10.0 million) in the first quarter of 2009. Gross loss in the fourth quarter of 2009 was mainly due to the impairment of prepaid royalties and withholding tax of certain games amounting to RMB61.3 million (US$9.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009 while no such cost occurred in the first quarter of 2010. The year-over-year decrease was mainly due to the expiration of WoW license in June 2009.
Gross loss for the second quarter of 2010 was RMB4.6 million (US$0.7 million) compared to gross profit of RMB1.7 million (US$0.3 million) in the first quarter of 2010 and gross profit of RMB64.3 million (US$9.5 million) in the second quarter of 2009. The gross loss for the second quarter was mainly due to the impairment of prepaid royalties of a game.
Operating Expenses
For the first quarter of 2010, operating expenses were RMB80.7 million (US$11.9 million), a 44% decrease from RMB144.2 million (US$21.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009 and a 36% decrease from RMB125.1 million (US$18.4 million) in the first quarter of 2009. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily the result of decrease in staff cost and recognition of impairment on servers and upfront license fees for certain games made in the fourth quarter of 2009, while there was no such impairment in the first quarter of 2010. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to decrease in staff cost and WoW-related operating expenses.
For the first quarter of 2010, share-based compensation was RMB11.9 million (US$1.7 million), compared to RMB13.9 million (US$2.0 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009 and RMB15.7 million (US$2.3 million) in the first quarter of 2009.
For the second quarter of 2010, operating expenses were RMB75.0 million (US$11.1 million), representing a 7% decrease from RMB80.7 million (US$11.9 million) in the first quarter of 2010 a 51% decrease from RMB152.5 million (US$22.5 million) in the second quarter of 2009. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily the net result of decrease in marketing expenses due to the net effect of decrease of World of Fighter's marketing expenses which was partly offset by the marketing expenses for Kingdom Heroes 2 Online during the second quarter; decrease in staff cost and increase in research and development expenses caused by consolidation of Red5 Studios Inc. The year-over-year decrease was primarily the net result of decrease in marketing expenses of WoW and EA SPORTS(TM) FIFA Online 2 and decrease in staff cost; which was partly offset by increase in research and development expenses caused by consolidation of Red5' Studios Inc.
For the second quarter of 2010, share-based compensation was RMB7.7 million (US$1.1 million), compared to RMB11.9 million (US$1.7 million) in the first quarter of 2010 and to RMB15.0 million (US$2.2 million) in the second quarter of 2009.
Interest Income
Interest income for the first quarter of 2010 was RMB6.4 million (US$0.9 million), compared to RMB7.4 million (US$1.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009 and RMB9.0 million (US$1.3 million) in the first quarter of 2009. The decrease of interest income was primarily due to decrease of cash balance.
Interest income for the second quarter of 2010 was RMB5.4 million (US$0.8 million), compared to RMB6.4 million (US$0.9 million) in the first quarter of 2010 and RMB6.9 million (US$1.0 million) in the second quarter of 2009. The decrease of interest income was primarily due to decrease of cash balance.
Other (Expenses) Income, net
Other expenses for the first quarter of 2010 was RMB2.2 million (US$0.3 million), compared to other income of RMB6.1 million (US$0.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009 and other expenses of RMB0.4 million (US$0.1 million) in the first quarter of 2009. The quarter-over-quarter difference was primarily due to there was a government subsidy in the fourth quarter of 2009 while none such subsidy was received in the first quarter of 2010. The year-over-year increase of other expenses was primarily due to the increase of foreign exchange loss.
Other expenses for the second quarter of 2010 was RMB1.0 million (US$0.2 million), compared to other expenses of RMB2.2 million (US$0.3 million) in the first quarter of 2010 and other income of RMB0.1 million (US$0.01 million) in the second quarter of 2009. The difference was primarily due to the change in foreign exchange loss.
Net Income (Loss)
For the first quarter of 2010, net loss was RMB75.8 million (US$11.2 million), which decreased by 63% from net loss of RMB205.5 million (US$30.3 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009 and compared with a net loss of RMB46.8 million (US$6.9 million) in the first quarter of 2009.

Currency Convenience Translation
The conversion of Renminbi (RMB) into US dollars (US$) in this press release is based on the noon buying rate in the City of New York for cable transfers in Renminbi per U.S. dollar as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of June 30, 2010, which was RMB6.7815 to US$1.00. The percentages stated in this press release are calculated based on the RMB amounts.
Use of Non-GAAP Measure
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), The9 uses the non-GAAP measure of non-GAAP adjusted net income, which is adjusted from the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP to exclude certain expenses. The non-GAAP financial measure is provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of the Company's operating performance.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income is defined as earnings before depreciation of property, equipment and software, amortization of land use right and intangibles, share-based compensation, foreign exchange loss and income tax expenses/benefits, as applicable. The use of non-GAAP adjusted net income has certain limitations. Depreciation of property, equipment and software, amortization of land use right and intangibles and income tax expenses/benefits have been and will be incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP adjusted net income. Each of these items should also be considered in the overall evaluation of our results. Non-GAAP adjusted net income should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by providing the relevant disclosure of our depreciation and amortization, and income tax expenses/benefits in our reconciliations to the GAAP financial measure, share-based compensation and income tax expenses/benefits in our reconciliations to the GAAP financial measure, which should be considered when evaluating our performance. Non-GAAP adjusted net income is not defined under GAAP, and our non-GAAP adjusted net income is not a measure of net income, operating income, or any operating performance measure that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP adjusted net income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate non-GAAP adjusted net income in the same manner as we do. For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results" set forth at the end of this release.
