Safe Harbor Statement and Currency Convenience Translation  Safe Harbor Statement  Statements in this release contain “forward -looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward -looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” and similar statements and among others, include statements regarding sequential top-line growth in the third quarter, the growing popularity of ZT Online 2, the ongoing strong performance of the ZT Online Series, the release of a new expansion pack for the ZT Online Series in the third quarter of 2011, and the timetable for engineering testing, closed beta testing, open beta testing and commercial launch of the various products in our game pipeline . These forward -looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only our belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of our control . Our actual results and financial condition and other circumstances may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward -looking statements . Among the factors that could cause our actual results to differ from what we currently anticipate may include a deterioration in the performance of the ZT Online Series, failure of ZT Online 2 to grow as expected, unexpected delays in developing expansion packs or in the timetable for testing and launching our games, our dependence on one online game, which currently accounts for the majority of our historical net revenues, our limited operating history and unproven long-term potential of our online game business model, our uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal and regulatory environments and the volatility of the markets in which we operate . The financial information contained in this release should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 20F for the fiscal year 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 17, 2011, and are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. For additional information on these and other important factors that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5 of our annual report for fiscal year 2010. Our actual results of operations for the second quarter of 2011 are not necessarily indicative of our operating results for any future periods . Any projections in this release are based on limited information currently available to us, which is subject to change . Although such projections and the factors influencing them will likely change, we undertake no obligation to update or revise these forward -looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this press release . Such information speaks only as of the date of this release .  Currency Convenience Translation  This slide presentation contains translations of certain Renminbi (RMB) amounts into US dollars (US$) at the rate of US$1.00 to RMB6.4635, which was the noon buying rate as of June 30, 2011 in the City of New York for cable transfers in Renminbi per US dollar as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
