    (1) The U.S. dollar (US$) amounts disclosed in this press release are
        presented solely for the convenience of the reader. The conversion of
        Renminbi (RMB) into US$ in this release is based on the noon buying
        rate in The City of New York for cable transfers in RMB per US$ as
        certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
        on December 31, 2009, which was RMB6.8259 to US$1.00. The percentages
        stated are calculated based on RMB.

"We are pleased to announce a strong improvement in our financial results in the past quarter," commented Mr. Shengcheng Wang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Mass Media. "The strong growth we achieved both sequentially and compared to the same period one year ago was primarily driven by the recovery of advertising spending in China.

"Conditions in the Chinese advertising market began to improve towards the end of 2009. We saw our clients start to become much more active in allocating their advertising budgets to both new and old projects during the fourth quarter. We took advantage of our strong media resources to meet their increased demand and higher advertising budgets.

"Back in the second quarter of last year, we took the opportunity during a particularly weak period to initiate number of changes to reposition ourselves for future growth. Since then, we recruited a number of senior sales executives and doubled the size of our sales force. In addition, we restructured our sales team to better cater to our customers and implemented a new incentive scheme to better motivate our sales people. We believe we started to see the full benefit of these moves in the fourth quarter as it allowed us to take full advantage of the recovery in our market.

"By utilizing our expanded marketing strategy, we were able to seize a number of new market opportunities. We continued to add new clients and were able to effectively increase revenues from our existing clients. In particular, we are proud to report that we secured a number of significant new direct accounts. We will continue to improve our quality of service to meet the demands of our direct customers. Our core products, the 'Day Time Advertising Package' and 'Television Guide' on CCTV-1 and 2 saw revenue growth of over 35% on a year-over-year basis and more than 80% growth on a quarter-over-quarter basis. We also recorded strong revenue and net profit growth on CCTV-4, which has historically been a loss-making channel for us.

"We are confident that the economy and the advertising industry will remain strong throughout 2010. We closely reviewed our stock of media resources last quarter and decided to intentionally give up certain high risk and low profitability products. We intend to focus our efforts on the sales and marketing of our primary resources to maximize our profit margin."

Mr. Eric Cheung, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our core strategy in 2010 continues to be focused on further strengthening the sales of our media resources by continuing to expand our client base, while simultaneously increasing revenues from existing clients. As always, we will continue to enhance our production and client service capabilities to provide a one-stop comprehensive solution for our clients. Our growth strategy continues to focus on building the business organically through the sales of our media resources, while monitoring the market for potential strategic acquisition opportunities to diversify into different advertising sectors in order to provide a comprehensive and one-stop solution to our customers."

Fourth Quarter 2009 Financial Results

Revenues

Revenues from advertising agency services were RMB 117.0 million (US$ 17.1 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of 75.3% from RMB 66.8 million in the same period in 2008, and an increase of of 46.6% from RMB 79.8 million in the third quarter of 2009. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2008 resulted primarily from strong advertising spending recovery and seasonality factors, as the fourth quarter is traditionally the peak season for advertising expenditures. The Company also secured new advertisers during the quarter, generating higher revenues from "Day Time Advertising Package," "Television Guide" and CCTV-4 sales.

Revenues from production and sponsorship services were RMB 5.3 million (US$ 0.78 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009, a decrease of 61.8% from RMB 13.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, and an increase of 88.0% from RMB 2.8 million in the third quarter of 2009.

The year over year decrease was mainly attributable to the decreases in commercial advertising production and less sponsorship revenue secured from promotion of public service announcements.

Sequentially, the increase was mainly due to the completion and delivery of several commercial advertisements, including a core branding promotion film produced for CCTV.

Operating costs and expenses

Cost of revenues was RMB 67.3 million (US$ 9.9 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of 33.5% from RMB 50.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and an increase of 3.4% from RMB 65.1 million in the third quarter of 2009. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2008 was primarily due to higher media resource underwriting costs for CCTV-4.

Sales and marketing expenses were RMB 6.6 million (US$ 0.96 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of 95.1% from RMB 3.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and an increase of 68.3% from RMB 3.9 million in the third quarter of 2009. The increase from both the fourth quarter of 2008 and sequentially was primarily due to the increase in sales commission and higher salaries incurred for the Company's additional sales management and employees.

General and administrative expenses were RMB 6.6 million (US$ 0.97 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009, a decrease of 31.2% from RMB 9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and a decrease of 17.5% from RMB 8.0 million in the third quarter of 2009. The decrease from both the fourth quarter of 2008 and sequentially was primarily due to the reversal of bad-debt allowance upon collection of a client's receivable.

Operating income, as a result of the foregoing factors, was RMB 36.6 million (US$ 5.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of 159.8% from RMB 14.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 and an increase of 902.0% from RMB 3.7 million in the third quarter of 2009. The Company's operating margin was 31.3%, 4.5% and 18.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2009, September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Net income was RMB 32.0 million (US$ 4.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2009, an increase of 87.5% from RMB 17.1 million in the same period of 2008 and an increase of 692.2% from RMB 4.0 million in the third quarter of 2009. The Company's net margin was 27.3%, 5.0% and 22.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2009, September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Basic and diluted earnings per ADS for the fourth quarter of 2009 increase to RMB 1.34 (US$ 0.2), compared to basic and diluted earnings per ADS of RMB 0.71 for the fourth quarter of 2008 and RMB 0.17 for the third quarter of 2009. Each ADS represents 30 ordinary shares.

Fiscal Year 2009 Financial Results

Total Net Revenues

Total net revenues were RMB 425.0 million (US$ 62.3 million) in fiscal year 2009, an increase of 20.4 %, or RMB 72.0 million from RMB 353.0 million in fiscal year 2008. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the recovery of the Chinese economy, the effective implementation of the Company's marketing strategy and a substantial increase in the sales of the Company's "Day Time Advertising Package," "Television Guide," CCTV-4 products and recognition of 2008 Beijing Olympics-related special event revenue in 2009.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses were RMB 322.8 million (US$ 47.3 million) in fiscal year 2009, an increase of 36.7%, or RMB 86.7 million, from RMB 236.1 million in fiscal year 2008. The year-over-year increase in operating costs and expenses was mainly due to higher media resource underwriting costs for CCTV-4.

Operating Income and Margin

As a result of the foregoing factors, operating income was RMB 102.2 million (US$ 15.0 million) in fiscal year 2009, a decrease of 12.6 %, or RMB 14.7 million, from RMB 116.9 million in fiscal year 2008. Operating margin was 24.0 % in 2009 compared to 33.1% in 2008.

Net Income

Net income was RMB 96.0 million (US$ 14.1 million) in fiscal year 2009, a decrease of 13.0%, or RMB 14.4 million, from RMB 110.4 million in fiscal year 2008. Basic and diluted earnings per ADS were RMB 4.02 (US$ 0.59) in fiscal year 2009, as compared to basic and diluted earnings per ADS of RMB 5.63 (US$0.83) in fiscal year 2008.

Cash and cash equivalents

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB 508.8 million ($74.5 million) compared with RMB 680.6 million at September 30, 2009. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was mainly due to payments to CCTV and a related party for advertising media fees payables.

Business Outlook

The Company currently expects to generate total net revenues of between RMB58 million to RMB 64 million for the first quarter of 2010, which represents a potential decrease of 57.3% to 61.3 % compared to the first quarter of 2009. The expected decrease will be mainly because the Company no longer owns the advertising rights to CCTV's Chinese New Year Gala show, and because the Company now has fewer media resources available for sale on CCTV-4 due to efforts to improve profit margins. The guidance also reflects a potential decrease of 45.4% to 50.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, primarily due to seasonality factors.

This forecast reflects the Company's current and preliminary estimate, which is subject to change.

    (*) The adjustment is for share-based compensation expenses.


Non-GAAP Disclosure

In addition to the unaudited consolidated financial information presented in accordance with US GAAP, management uses a non-GAAP measure of net income excluding non-cash share-based compensation. Company management believes excluding the share-based compensation expenses from non-GAAP financial measures is useful for the investors' understanding of overall current financial performance. Nevertheless, the limitation of using non-GAAP financial measures excluding share-based compensation expenses is that share-based compensation expenses have been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense in the Company's business.

The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP results of operations measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures" set forth above, which shall be read in conjunction with the preceding financial information presented in accordance with US GAAP.
