    Management Comments:

    With respect to the first quarter 2007 results, Jun
Zhu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The9
commented, "We are pleased to report that The9 has
achieved solid financial results in the first quarter of
2007.  Despite the seasonal holiday impact in the quarter,
we were able to maintain relatively stable user levels for
Blizzard Entertainment(R)'s World of Warcraft(R) game in
China.  In the first quarter of 2007, we attained peak and
average concurrent WoW users in mainland China of
approximately 680,000 and 330,000, respectively.  As of
March 31, 2007, over 7.5 million paid accounts had been
activated(2).

    While we continue to prepare for the launch of WoW's
major expansion pack: The Burning Crusade(TM), we started
open beta testing for the highly anticipated Soul of The
Ultimate Nation(TM) game in China in April and achieved a
peak concurrent user level of over 400,000 users.  We
believe the strong preliminary result of SUN's open beta
testing is indicative of The9's transition from a one-game
to a multi-game company with diversified sources of
revenue. In addition, Electronic Arts Inc. recently became
a strategic investor of The9, and concurrently with their
investment, we obtained the exclusive license to operate EA
SPORTS(TM) FIFA Online, a blockbuster online soccer game, in
mainland China.  We recently also obtained the exclusive
license to operate Audition 2, an advanced casual dancing
online game, in mainland China.  These exciting new
developments are solid proof of The9's ability to execute
our focused strategy of introducing high-quality games to
the China online game market and to further diversify our
game portfolio to include casual style games to address a
wider range of audiences."

    Hannah Lee, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer,
commented, "Despite the seasonality impact to the WoW
game, we achieved solid financial and operational results
for the first quarter of 2007.  With the upcoming launch of
The Burning Crusade(TM) expansion pack together with the
accompanying opening of a new server site, we expect, based
on responses from overseas players, that even more players
will be attracted to the World of Warcraft(R)game.  SUN's
strong open beta testing results increased our confidence
that the game will bring additional sources of revenue for
the Company and will enhance and diversify the number of
our revenue-generating games.  In addition to our strong
MMORPG portfolio, FIFA Online and Audition 2 will be The9's
initial steps into the growing casual game arena.  We
believe The9 is well positioned for further sustainable
growth in the rapidly evolving Chinese online game
market."

    Discussion of The9's First Quarter 2007 Results
(Preliminary Unaudited) 

    Revenues

    For the first quarter of 2007, The9 reported total
gross revenues of RMB284.7 million (US$36.9 million), a 4%
decrease from RMB297.8 million (US$38.6 million) in the
fourth quarter of 2006 and a 27% increase from RMB223.5
million (US$28.9 million) in the first quarter of 2006. 
Total net revenues were RMB270.0 million (US$35.0 million),
a 4% decrease from RMB282.7 million (US$36.6 million) in the
fourth quarter of 2006 and a 27% increase from RMB212.1
million (US$27.5 million) in the first quarter of 2006. 
The quarter-over-quarter revenue decrease was mainly due to
the seasonal impact on Blizzard Entertainment(R)'s World of
Warcraft(R)'s usage during the Chinese New Year and winter
holiday.

    Net revenues attributable to the operations of Blizzard
Entertainment(R)'s World of Warcraft(R), including game
playing time, merchandise and installation package sales,
were RMB266.3  million (US$34.5 million) in the first
quarter of 2007, a 5% decrease from the previous quarter
due primarily to the holiday impact, and a 27% increase
from the same period of last year. 
 
    For the first quarter of 2007, online game services
gross revenues were RMB281.3 million (US$36.4 million), a
5% decrease from RMB296.7 million (US$38.4 million) in the
fourth quarter of 2006 and a 27% increase from RMB220.8
million (US$28.6 million) in the first quarter of 2006.  

    For the first quarter of 2007, gross revenues from game
operating support, website solutions and advertisement, were
RMB2.6 million (US$0.3 million), an increase of 430% from
the previous quarter and 247% from the same period of last
year.  The increase in these revenues was mainly due to
certain technical support services provided in the quarter,
where no such services were provided in the previous quarter
or in the same period last year.

    Other gross revenues mainly included sales of WoW
related merchandise and installation packages.  For the
first quarter of 2007, other gross revenues were RMB0.8
million (US$0.1 million) compared to RMB0.6 million
(US$0.08 million) in the fourth quarter of 2006 and RMB1.9
million (US$0.2 million) in the first quarter of 2006.  The
quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to sales of
installation packages of the Guild Wars game during the
first quarter of 2007 when it commenced open beta testing
while there were no such revenues in the previous quarter.


    Gross Profit 

    Gross profit for the first quarter of 2007 decreased by
3% quarter-over-quarter but increased 37% year-over-year to
RMB130.3 million (US$16.9 million).  The sequential
decrease of gross profit was mainly due to decreased
revenues as mentioned above.  Gross profit margin for the
first quarter 2007 remained relatively stable at 48%
compared to the previous quarter, but improved from 45% in
the same period of last year.   

    Operating Expenses

    For the first quarter of 2007, operating expenses were
RMB58.1 million (US$7.5 million), a 6% increase from
RMB54.7 million (US$7.1 million) in the previous quarter
and a 52% increase from RMB38.3 million (US$5.0 million) in
the same period of last year.  The sequential increase in
operating expenses was primarily due to increased product
development expenses relating to certain costs for Soul of
The Ultimate Nation(TM) and Guild Wars during their
respective closed and open beta testing phases, partially
offset by decreased sales and marketing expenses incurred
for WoW as relatively less updates were introduced in the
first quarter. 

    Income from Operations

    For the first quarter of 2007, profit from operations
decreased by 10% quarter-over-quarter but increased 27%
year-over-year to RMB72.1 million (US$9.3 million). 
Operating margin for the first quarter of 2007 was 27%,
remained stable compared to 28% in the previous quarter and
27% in the same period of last year.  The slight sequential
decline of operating margin was a combined result of
decreased revenues and increased operating expenses as
mentioned above.

    Other Income (Expenses)

    Other expenses for the first quarter of 2007 was RMB0.9
million (US$0.1 million) compared to other income of RMB19.1
million (US$2.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2006 and
other expenses of RMB0.5 million (US$0.06 million) in the
first quarter of 2006.  The sequential difference was
primarily due to the receipt of a financial subsidy of
RMB19.8 million (US$2.6 million) from the local government
in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to no such
financial subsidy being received in the first quarter of
2007.

    Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

    Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2007 was
RMB8.1 million (US$1.0 million) compared to income tax
benefit of RMB1.0 million (US$0.1 million) in the fourth
quarter of 2006 and income tax benefit of RMB0.2 million
(US$0.02 million) in the first quarter of 2006.  This was
primarily due to the increase of effective tax rate
following the expiration of income tax holiday of a
significant PRC subsidiary, partially offset by adjustments
of RMB7.2 million (US$0.9 million) to deferred tax valuation
allowances due to the anticipated utilization of tax loss
carry forward.

    Gain (Loss) on Equity Investments

    For the first quarter of 2007, loss on equity
investments, net of taxes, amounted to RMB1.5 million
(US$0.2 million), compared to a loss of RMB1.1 million
(US$0.1 million) for the fourth quarter of 2006, and a gain
of RMB1.1 million (US$0.1 million) for the first quarter of
2006.  The sequential increase in loss on equity
investments was primarily because most of the existing
affiliated companies were still in the game development or
early game commercialization stages, thus contributed
losses in the first quarter of 2007; whereas in the fourth
quarter of 2006, the joint venture that operates Blizzard
Entertainment(R)'s World of Warcraft(R) in other greater
China regions, which we disposed of in late 2006, recorded
a gain during the fourth quarter of 2006, which offset, to
a large extent, the losses incurred by the other affiliated
companies. 

    Net Income

    For the first quarter of 2007, net income was RMB66.1
million (US$8.6 million), which decreased by 37%
quarter-over-quarter from RMB105.1 million (US$13.6
million) in the fourth quarter of 2006 but increased by 12%
year-over-year compared to RMB58.8 million (US$7.6 million)
in the first quarter of 2006.  The sequential decrease of
net income was a result of the cumulative effect of the
foregoing factors.  Excluding a financial subsidy of
RMB19.8 million (US$2.6 million) received from the local
government, gain on investment disposal of RMB23.4 million
(US$3.0 million) from the sale of certain equity
investment, and impairment loss on one of our investments
of RMB20.4 million (US$2.6 million) in the fourth quarter
of 2006, net income for the first quarter of 2007 decreased
by 20% from the previous quarter.

    Fully diluted earnings per share and per ADS for the
first quarter of 2007 was RMB2.65 (US$0.34), compared to
RMB4.25 (US$0.55) in the fourth quarter of 2006 and RMB2.42
(US$0.31) in the first quarter of 2006.

    EBITDA (non-GAAP) is defined as earnings before
depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of intangibles
and income tax expenses/benefits, as applicable.  For the
first quarter of 2007, EBITDA (non-GAAP) was RMB117.7
million (US$15.2 million) compared to EBITDA (non-GAAP) of
RMB146.6 million (US$19.0 million) for the previous quarter
and RMB99.6 million (US$12.9 million) for the same period of
last year.  

    For the first quarter of 2007, fully diluted EBITDA
(non-GAAP) per share was RMB4.72 (US$0.61) compared with
RMB5.93 (US$0.77) for the fourth quarter of 2006 and
RMB4.10 (US$0.53) in the first quarter of 2006.  

    As at March 31, 2007, the Company's total cash and cash
equivalents balance was RMB859.6 million (US$111.3 million).
 The decrease in cash and cash equivalents from RMB937.8
million (US$121.4 million) as at December 31, 2006 was
mainly due to the combined result of capital expenditures
on a new server site and upgrades of existing server sites
in preparation for the launch of World of Warcraft: The
Burning Crusade(TM), payments relating to the purchase of
our headquarter office building in Shanghai, as well as
prepaid royalty payments to the licensor relating to World
of Warcraft(R)'s China operations, offset in part by
receipts from prepaid game points, and final receipts of
proceeds from the disposal of our investment in the joint
venture that operates World of Warcraft(R) in the other
regions of greater China. 

    The conversion of Renminbi (RMB) into U.S. 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 March 30,
2007 (the last business day of first quarter of 2007),
which was RMB7.7232 to US$1.00.  The percentages stated in
this press release are calculated based on the RMB
amounts.

    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 EBITDA, 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.

    EBITDA (non-GAAP) is defined as earnings before
depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of intangibles
and income tax expenses/benefits, as applicable.  The
Company believes its EBITDA provides useful information to
both management and investors as it excludes certain
expenses that are not expected to result in future cash
payments.  The use of EBITDA has certain limitations. 
Depreciation and amortization expense for various assets
and income tax expenses/benefits have been and will be
incurred and are not reflected in the presentation of
EBITDA.  Each of these items should also be considered in
the overall evaluation of our results. EBITDA 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, which should be considered when
evaluating our performance.  EBITDA is not defined under
GAAP, and our EBITDA is not a measure of net income,
operating income, operating performance or liquidity
presented in accordance with GAAP.  When assessing our
operating performance, you should not consider this data in
isolation or as a substitute for our net income, operating
income or any other operating performance measure that is
calculated in accordance with GAAP.  In addition, our
EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
utilized by other companies since such other companies may
not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as we do.  For more
information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see
the tables captioned "Reconciliation of non-GAAP to
GAAP results" set forth at the end of this release.

    The9 today also announced that Mr. Alan Chen, Vice
President and Chief Technology Officer, will be leaving the
Company on June 30, 2007 due to personal reasons.  Mr.
