Limin Li, VisionChina Media's chairman and chief executive officer, commented, "2007 was an exciting year for VisionChina Media. Following our IPO in December, we harnessed our leadership position in the mobile digital television industry to execute our strategy, expand our network and attract new advertisers. Our screens display the programming that viewers demand and reach the audiences that national brands target. The combination of these factors allows us to compete directly with traditional indoor television. This summer, the Olympic Games will be aired on our screens on buses and subways in Beijing and other cities, giving us an unprecedented opportunity to showcase our offerings to China and the world."

Mr. Li continued, "Since our successful IPO, we have expanded our network coverage to include Taiyuan, the capital city of Shanxi province, bringing the total number of cities we cover to 15. We have also increased our sales force dramatically, hiring over 70 new employees, the vast majority of whom have over five years experience in digital outdoor media and bring with them strong existing relationships."

Dina Liu, VisionChina Media's chief financial officer, added, "Our national advertising network, strong brand name and operational expertise further enhance our ability to draw top quality advertising dollars and attract bus companies hoping to partner with us. Our strong fourth quarter results demonstrate the continued operating leverage inherent in our business model. Additionally, our strong balance sheet, enhanced by our IPO, positions us well to continue our expansion both organically and through acquisitions"

I bought in VISN this morning after earnings report.

I think it should break $16 at the close.  We'll see.

Here's part of the report.  It's very long.

VisionChina Media Inc. Announces First Quarter 2008 Results
Thursday April 24, 5:00 pm ET
Total Revenues in First Quarter 2008 Grow 304.5% Year-Over-Year, Company Raises Annual Guidance

BEIJING, April 24 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- VisionChina Media Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: VISN - News), one of China's largest out-of home digital television advertising networks on mass transportation systems, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

    First Quarter 2008 Highlights
    -- Total revenues in the first quarter of 2008 grew 304.5% year-over-year
       and 13.5% quarter-over-quarter to $13.6 million, out of which
       advertising services revenues grew 326.0% year-over-year and 13.2%
       quarter-over-quarter to $13.2 million.
    -- The number of cities covered by the Company's network increased to 15
       in the first quarter of 2008. Taiyuan, capital city of Shanxi Province,
       with a population of 3.4 million, was added to the network this quarter.
       The Company's exclusive agreements in Ningbo and Chengdu became
       effective on January 1, 2008.
    -- Network capacity, which is measured by total broadcasting hours,
       reached 25,980 hours in the first quarter of 2008, compared to 23,908
       hours in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 16,212 in the first quarter of
       2007.
    -- On average, the Company sold 6.24 advertising minutes per broadcasting
       hour in the first quarter of 2008, compared to 8.69 minutes per
       broadcasting hour in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 3.81 minutes per
       broadcasting hour in the first quarter of 2007. The decrease of minutes
       sold per broadcasting hour from the fourth quarter 2007 to the first
       quarter 2008 was due to expected seasonality in the first quarter.
       Excluding the three new exclusive agency cities that were included in
       the Company's network in the first quarter 2008, the Company sold 6.43
       advertising minutes per broadcasting hour in the first quarter of 2008.
    -- Average advertising service revenues per broadcasting hour grew 4.1%
       quarter-over-quarter to $493 dollars per broadcasting hour from $474
       per broadcasting hour in the fourth quarter of 2007, and compared to
       $184 per broadcasting hour in the first quarter of 2007. This increase
       was a result of the full implementation of the rate card increase in
       November 2007. Excluding the three new exclusive agency cities that
       were included in the Company's network in the first quarter 2008,
       average advertising services revenues were $543 per broadcasting hour
       in the first quarter 2008.
    -- Gross profit in the first quarter 2008 was $7.2 million, a slight
       decrease of 4.9% from $7.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, and a
       significant increase of 1145.7% from the first quarter of 2007. The
       decrease of gross profit in first quarter 2008 from the fourth quarter
       2007 was primarily due to the increased media costs associated with the
       three exclusive cities that were included in the Company's network in
       first quarter 2008: Taiyuan, Chengdu and Ningbo, as well as costs
       associated with deeper penetration into the other cities of the
       Company's network.
    -- As of March 31, 2008, the Company had installed 48,719 digital
       displays on buses, subways trains and subway platforms, compared with
       the 41,410 at the end of 2007.
    -- Operating profit in the first quarter of 2008 was $4.5 million, a
       decrease of 9.36% from $5.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, and
       a significant turn-around compared to a net loss of $0.35 million in
       the first quarter of 2007. The decrease of operating profit in the
       first quarter 2008 from the fourth quarter 2007 was primarily due to
       the costs associated with network expansion and increases in sales and
       marketing expenses related to more head count associated with the
       network expansion.
    -- Net income in the first quarter of 2008 was $5.4 million, a decrease
       of 5.42% from $5.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, and a
       significant turn-around from a $0.36 million net loss in the first
       quarter of 2007. Excluding the three new exclusive cities that were
       included in the Company's network, net income for the first quarter
       2008 was $5.5 million.
    -- As a result of the forgoing, fully diluted net income per share in the
       first quarter of 2008 was $0.08, (each of our ADSs represents one
       common share) compared to $0.10 for the fourth quarter of 2007.
    -- Free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow minus capital
       expenditure became positive for the first time in the first quarter of
       2008. Operating cash flow remained positive in the first quarter. The
       Company had cash and cash equivalents of $133.8 million as of March 31,
       2008.

Limin Li, VisionChina Media's chairman and chief executive officer, said, "We are very happy to announce our financial results that reflect another quarter of successful execution of our strategy. Despite an expected seasonally weak first quarter and severe snow storms that negatively affected businesses across China during the quarter, we continued to expand our network by entering into an exclusive agreement in Taiyuan. More recently, we entered into an exclusive agreement in Shenyang, and expanded our network in Guangzhou to include the subway system in that city. Furthermore, we have also recently signed additional exclusive agency agreements in Wuhan, Dalian and Changchun, existing cities in our network, to further expand our reach within those cities. China's mass transportation systems are used by a large portion of the population, and as ever greater audiences gather in front of our screens, it has become increasingly apparent to advertisers that the importance of these audiences cannot be ignored."
