"We are pleased to report that Perfect World has achieved solid financial results in the third quarter of 2007," said Mr. Michael Chi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Perfect World. "We posted strong growth during the quarter, largely as a result of the effective execution of our strategy. As a part of this, we developed a number of effective marketing campaigns and further strengthened our position in China through the successful launch of expansion packs for every game under operation. We are also very proud to have received the ISO9001:2000 certificate for customer service from the SGS Group, which clearly demonstrates that our highly rated games are coupled with world-class customer service."

"With our successful initial public offering and listing of ADSs on the NASDAQ Global Market in July 2007, we achieved a very important milestone in our corporate history and significantly enhanced our ability to execute our strategy." Mr. Chi continued, "We plan to build a diversified game portfolio, further improve our user experience, expand internationally, strengthen our leading edge technology, and pursue strategic acquisitions, partnerships and alliances when appropriate. Given our successful track record of quickly introducing popular games that cater to the changing preferences of game players in China, I believe that we are well positioned to achieve our goals."

Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results

Total Revenues

Total revenues for 3Q07 were RMB213.9 million (USD28.5 million), which represented an increase of 65% from RMB129.7 million in 2Q07 and an increase of over 14 times from RMB13.6 million in 3Q06.

Online game operation revenues for 3Q07 were about RMB197.4 million (USD26.4million), an increase of 77% from RMB111.5 million in 2Q07 and an increase of 1,353% from RMB13.6 million in 3Q06. The substantial year-over- year and sequential increases in online game operation revenues were primarily related to continued strong performance of the Company's existing games, and significant contribution of revenues from "Zhu Xian" since its launch on May 28, 2007. The successful launch of "Zhu Xian" on May 28, 2007 had a greater impact on online game operation revenues in the third quarter of 2007 since it only contributed revenues for one month in 2Q07. The Company also experienced an increase in aggregate ACU of the games under operation. The ACU for 3Q07 was approximately 513,000, an increase of 15% from 446,000 in 2Q07 and an increase of 335% from 118,000 in 3Q06. The overall increase in ARPU and APC contributed to the growth of revenues as well. The ARPU for games under item- based revenue model in 3Q07 was RMB136, an increase of 39% from RMB98 in 2Q07. The APC for games under item-based revenue model in 3Q07 was approximately 1,390,000, an increase of 34% from 1,040,000 in 2Q07.

Overseas licensing revenues for 3Q07 were RMB16.4 million (USD2.2 million), a decrease of 10% from RMB18.2 million in 2Q07. The decrease in overseas licensing revenues was mainly because royalty income generated from the Taiwan market decreased by approximately RMB3.3 million, or 29%, compared to 2Q07.

Cost of Revenues

The cost of revenues for the third quarter of 2007 was RMB35.4 million (USD4.7 million), which represented an increase of 37%, or RMB9.6 million from RMB25.8 million in 2Q07 and an increase of 736%, or RMB 31.2 million from RMB4.2 million in 3Q06 respectively. The rise from 2Q07 was mainly due to an increase of RMB3.4 million in VAT and other related taxes and an increase of RMB4.7 million in Internet Data Center (IDC) costs, both of which were results of growth of online game operation revenues. The rise from 3Q06 was primarily a result of the expansion of game portfolio. While the Company had only two games under operation in 3Q06, it had four games under operation in the third quarter of 2007.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit for 3Q07 was RMB178.5 million (USD23.8 million), which represented an increase of 72%, or RMB74.5 million from RMB103.9 million in 2Q07, and a significant increase from RMB9.4 million in 3Q06. Gross margin was 83.4% in 3Q07, which increased from 80.1% in 2Q07 and 68.8% in 3Q06. The sequential improvement in gross margin was mainly due to a rapid revenue growth, a cost saving from using more self-owned servers and less leased servers, and a better utilization of servers and IDC resources.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were RMB62.0 million (USD8.3 million) for the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 25% from RMB49.5 million in 2Q07, and an increase of 156% from RMB24.3 million in 3Q06. 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 25%, or RMB2.7 million from RMB10.9 million in 2Q07 to RMB13.6 million (USD1.8 million) in 3Q07, which was primarily due to an increase of R&D headcount. The R&D headcount was 274 as of June 30, 2007, as compared to 323 as of September 30, 2007.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by 17% or RMB5.6 million from RMB32.3 million in 2Q07 to RMB37.9 million (USD5.1 million) in 3Q07. The increase was largely due to the Company's ongoing marketing campaigns to promote its existing games under operation.

General and administrative expenses increased by 68%, or RMB4.2 million from RMB6.3 million in 2Q07 to RMB10.5 million (USD1.4 million) in 3Q07, primarily due to the expenses associated with a company outing and the share- based compensation expenses incurred for share options granted to two independent directors and some other employees in 3Q07.

The year-over-year increase of operating expenses was primarily a result of the expansion of the Company's business.

Operating Profit

Operating profit in 3Q07 was RMB116.4 million (USD15.5 million), an increase of 114%, or RMB62.0 million from RMB54.5 million in 2Q07, and a significant turnaround from an operating loss of RMB14.9 million in 3Q06.

Income Tax Expenses

Income tax expenses were RMB2.4 million (USD0.3 million) in 3Q07, which was a decrease of 18% from RMB2.9 million in 2Q07. There were no income tax expenses in 3Q06. The sequential decrease in income tax in 3Q07 was primarily a result of a decrease in overseas revenues in 3Q07.

Net Income

Net income in 3Q07 was RMB123.3 million (USD16.5 million), an increase of 136%, or RMB71.0 million from RMB52.4 million in 2Q07, and a significant turnaround from a net loss of RMB14.9 million in 3Q06. Basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB2.51 (USD0.33) and RMB2.18 (USD0.29), respectively, in 3Q07, as compared to basic and diluted earnings per ADS of RMB1.67 and RMB1.06, respectively, in 2Q07, and loss per ADS was RMB0.52 in 3Q06.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had RMB1.4 billion (USD188.7 million) of cash and cash equivalents, an increase of 499% from RMB236.2 million as of June 30, 2007, and an increase from RMB101.4 million as of December 31, 2006. The increase was mainly due to the net proceeds collected from the IPO and net cash inflow generated from the Company's online game operations.

Third Quarter 2007 Other Developments

Trademark and Copyright for "Chi Bi", a self-developed game to be launched

Perfect World has registered Chi Bi's copyright with the State Copyright Bureau, Beijing Branch and obtained a copyright registration certificate. A publishing number for Chi Bi has been obtained as well. Previously, Perfect World filed a trademark application for the Chinese name "Chi Bi" under Category 41 with the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce in China in October 2006.

Cooperation Agreement with the Movie "Red Cliff"

In September 2007, the Company announced that it had entered into a cooperation agreement with China Firm Group Corporation ("CFGC"), to jointly market Perfect World's game "Chi Bi" and the movie "Red Cliff" directed by John Woo. The game and the movie have the same name in Chinese.

Recent Business Developments

* On November 3, 2007, the Company announced that it had entered into new overseas licensing agreement for "Perfect World II" with PT. Lyto Datarindo Fortuna ("LYTO") in Indonesia.

* On November 6, 2007, the Company announced that it had entered into new overseas licensing agreement with Nival Online to license the Company's "Perfect World II" game in Russia and other Russian-speaking countries and regions.

The latest licensing arrangements further demonstrate that Perfect World is keen on executing its international expansion plan to capture significant opportunities overseas.

Business Outlook

Based on the Company's current operations, total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 are expected to be between RMB200 million and RMB215 million. This represents a flat to mild decline on a sequential basis and primarily reflects the Company's especially strong performance in the third quarter of 2007.

The Company expects to launch closed beta testing for Chi Bi by early December after finishing internal testing. In addition, since Perfect World expects to co-promote its "Chi Bi" game with the movie "Red Cliff," the Company is still in the process of determining the best timing to commercially launch the game.

The Company also expects to launch small-scale closed beta testing for its new game, "Hot Dance Party," by the end of 2007. "Hot Dance Party" is the Company's first 3D casual game, and as such, the Company anticipates that a few rounds of fine tuning of some of the game's innovative features may be needed before it is commercially launched.
