of Renminbi (RMB) into USD in this release is based on the noon
buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers in RMB per
USD as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank

The percentages stated are calculated based on RMB.
"We are pleased to report our continued strong growth in the second
quarter of 2008, which came in line with our raised guidance," commented
Mr. Michael Chi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Perfect World. "I
believe our ability to enhance our game development platform, quickly
introduce new games and expansion packs to the market, and diversify our
product portfolio will further enhance the sustainability of our pipeline
of games and continue to be a key growth driver for us. Our results were
strong despite the impact of the Sichuan earthquake and the related three
day suspension of our service. Because of this, our ACU and APC dropped,
but we were actually able to increase our ARPU through a series of
successful marketing campaigns and the launch of new expansion packs for
'Zhu Xian,' 'Chi Bi' and 'Perfect World II.' As a result, I believe our
efforts helped to solidify our leading position in the domestic online game
market."
"We successfully launched closed beta testing for 'Pocketpet Journey
West,' our latest pet-themed 3D MMORPG in June 2008. Given the positive
feedback we have received and to allow more online game players to enjoy
this game, we also launched unlimited closed beta testing on July 17, 2008.
We target to launch open beta testing at the end of third quarter or early
fourth quarter of 2008. Developing a sustainable pipeline to capture the
opportunities brought by the growth of the online game market continues to
be our key strategic focus. We currently have five MMORPGs under
development, including one that is expected to be launched by the end of
2008, and another that is expected to be launched at the end of 2008 or
early 2009. In terms of overseas development, we signed a number of new
licensing agreements in the past quarter, which extended the global reach
of our products and demonstrated our commitment to expanding our business
globally. Moreover, we plan to launch "Perfect World II" through our U.S.
subsidiary in North America and we have scheduled the launch of closed beta
testing on August 19, 2008. Our efforts to customize this game for the
North American market are expected to facilitate its successful launch. I'm
also pleased to announce that we are in the process of developing a Chinese
literature website to provide online reading and related services. I
believe this website will help create synergy within our business model,
capture innovative ideas, and facilitate the growth of our online
community. We remain committed to executing our growth strategies and I
believe our continued stream of new game releases along with a steady flow
of new expansion packs will not only strengthen our position as a leading
player in the Chinese online game market, but also help position us in the
long-term as a leading player in the global online gaming market."
Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results
Total Revenues
Total revenues were RMB334.4 million (USD48.8 million) in 2Q08, an
increase of 10.3%, or RMB31.3 million, from RMB303.2 million in 1Q08 and an
increase of 157.8%, or RMB204.7 million, from RMB129.7 million in 2Q07.
Online game operation revenues were RMB299.4 million (USD43.6 million)
in 2Q08, an increase of 13.2%, or RMB34.9 million, from RMB264.5 million in
1Q08 and an increase of 168.5%, or RMB187.9 million, from RMB111.5 million
in 2Q07. The sequential increase in online game operation revenues was
primarily attributable to a full quarter of revenue contribution from Chi
Bi, the successful launch of expansion packs for some of the Company's
existing MMORPGs and the positive market response from recent marketing
campaigns. In addition, as the user base of the Company's games keep
expanding while the accumulated number of inactive accounts has also
continued to grow, in 2Q08 we began to enforce our rights to close a
player's game account that has been inactive for 360 consecutive days.
Revenues recognized from the inactive accounts were approximately RMB8.4
million in 2Q08. The Company will continue to implement this policy and
recognize revenues from inactive accounts on a quarterly basis.
The ACU was approximately 619,000 in 2Q08, as compared to 660,000 in
1Q08 and 446,000 in 2Q07. The APC for games under the item-based revenue
model was approximately 1,530,000 in 2Q08, as compared to 1,701,000 in 1Q08
and 1,036,000 in 2Q07. The ARPU for games under the item-based revenue
model was RMB188 in 2Q08, an increase of 24.9%, or RMB37, from RMB151 in
1Q08 and an increase of 92.2%, or RMB90, from RMB98 in 2Q07. While ACU and
APC decreased by 6.2% and 10.1% from 1Q08, which was mainly due to the
Sichuan earthquake, the following three day suspension of game service, and
the continued impact after the earthquake for a certain period of time, the
Company still managed to increase ARPU by 24.9% through a series of
successful promotions and the launch of new expansion packs for "Zhu Xian,"
"Chi Bi," and "Perfect World II."
Overseas licensing revenues were RMB35.0 million (USD5.1 million) in
2Q08, a decrease of 9.5%, or RMB3.7 million, from RMB38.7 million in 1Q08
and an increase of 92.6%, or RMB16.8 million, from RMB18.2 million in 2Q07.
The decrease from 1Q08 was mainly due to a decrease in usage-based royalty
fees from the Taiwan market, partially offset by an increase in initial
license fee in relation to the launch of "Zhu Xian" in Taiwan, Hong Kong
and Macau on June 30, 2008.
Cost of Revenues
The cost of revenues was RMB41.1 million (USD6.0 million) in 2Q08, an
increase of 9.5%, or RMB3.6 million, from RMB37.5 million in 1Q08 and an
increase of 59.6%, or RMB15.4 million, from RMB25.8 million in 2Q07. The
increase from 1Q08 was mainly due to an increase in VAT and other related
taxes, staff costs and server repair and maintenance expenses.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit was RMB293.3 million (USD42.8 million) in 2Q08, an
increase of 10.4%, or RMB27.7 million, from RMB265.6 million in 1Q08, and
an increase of 182.2%, or RMB189.3 million, from RMB103.9 million in 2Q07.
Gross margin was 87.7% in 2Q08, as compared to 87.6 % in 1Q08 and 80.1% in
2Q07.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were RMB127.3 million (USD18.6 million) in 2Q08, an
increase of 22.4%, or RMB23.3 million, from RMB104.0 million in 1Q08, and
an increase of 157.3%, or RMB77.9 million, from RMB49.5 million in 2Q07.
The sequential increase in operating expenses was mainly attributed to
higher R&D expenses, sales and marketing expenses and general and
administrative expenses.
R&D expenses increased by 34.6%, or RMB8.1 million, from RMB23.4
million in 1Q08 to RMB31.5 million (USD4.6 million) in 2Q08. This was
primarily due to an increase in staff cost and share-based compensation
associated with the expansion in Shanghai and Beijing.
Sales and marketing expenses increased by 21.7%, or RMB13.2 million,
from RMB60.7 million in 1Q08 to RMB73.8 million (USD10.8 million) in 2Q08.
This was largely due to an increase in advertising and promotional expenses
associated with the launch of "Hot Dance Party" and the pre-launch of
"Pocketpet Journey West," and an expansion of the promotional team on the
ground at internet cafes across China.
General and administrative expenses increased by 10.3%, or RMB2.1
million, from RMB19.9 million in 1Q08 to RMB22.0 million (USD3.2 million)
in 2Q08. This was primarily due to an increase in staff cost in connection
with the newly established U.S. subsidiary and an increase in professional
fees.
Operating Profit
Operating profit was RMB166.0 million (USD24.2 million) in 2Q08, an
increase of 2.7%, or RMB4.4 million, from RMB161.6 million in 1Q08, and an
increase of 204.7%, or RMB111.5 million, from RMB54.5 million in 2Q07.
Total Other Income
Total other income was RMB3.8 million (USD0.6 million) in 2Q08, an
increase of 57.7%, or RMB1.4 million, from RMB2.4 million in 1Q08, and an
increase of 381.3%, or RMB3.0 million, from RMB0.8 million in 2Q07. The
increase from 1Q08 was primarily due to a decrease in realized foreign
exchange loss of approximately RMB8.6 million, partially offset by a
decrease in interest income of approximately RMB3.6 million and a one-time
donation of RMB3.0 million to the Sichuan earthquake relief efforts in
2Q08. The lower foreign exchange loss and the drop in interest income were
both primarily due to the lower U.S. dollar cash balance following the
payments for the newly purchased office premises.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was RMB5.3 million (USD0.8 million) in 2Q08, a
decrease of 6.7%, or RMB0.4 million, from RMB5.6 million in 1Q08 and an
increase of 82.2%, or RMB2.4 million, from RMB2.9 million in 2Q07. Income
tax expense represents withholding income tax for overseas licensing
revenues. The decrease from 1Q08 was mainly due to the decrease in overseas
licensing revenues.
Net Income
Net income was RMB164.5 million (USD24.0 million) in 2Q08, an increase
of 3.9%, or RMB6.1 million, from RMB158.4 million in 1Q08, and an increase
of 214.1%, or RMB112.1 million, from RMB52.4 million in 2Q07. Basic and
diluted earnings per ADS were RMB2.93 (USD0.43) and RMB2.76 (USD0.40),
respectively, in 2Q08, as compared to basic and diluted earnings per ADS of
RMB2.83 and RMB2.67, respectively, in 1Q08, and basic and diluted earnings
per ADS of RMB1.67 and RMB1.06, respectively, in 2Q07.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of June 30, 2008, the Company had RMB1.1 billion (USD165.0 million)
of cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of 28.8%, or RMB456.7 million,
from RMB1.6 billion as of March 31, 2008. The decrease was mainly due to
the payments of consideration for the acquisition of the new office
premises, the cash outflow for investment in structured deposit, and the
investment made in Chengdu Seasky Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.,
partially offset by the net cash inflow generated from the Company's online
game operations and overseas licensing.
Recent Developments
