I'm pleased to welcome you to the Xinhua Finance web site.

Since our founding in 1999, Xinhua Finance has pursued a consistent vision: seizing the opportunities in bridging China's financial markets and the world. Today, firmly rooted in China, but with a growing global presence, the Company has 18 office locations and 16 news bureaus across Asia, Australia, North America and Europe, and Xinhua Finance is China's trusted source for financial indices, ratings, news, and investor relations.

Across our complementary service lines, Xinhua Finance's professionals are working to apply global best practices to and building investment infrastructure for China's financial markets. This is pioneering work, and the potential benefits are great for our clients and shareholders alike. For the dramatically expanding global audience of China followers, we provide accurate, independent real-time services and analysis. For our investors, we offer the wealth creation possibilities inherent in the emerging economic powerhouse of China and the transparency of world-class reporting practices (both IFRS and Japan GAAP) along with a clear and consistent strategy for achieving our corporate goals:

• Position our global operations to profit from China's internationalization
• Acquire and grow complementary financial service and media lines
• Seize and create value from China-market first mover platforms
• Build Chinese distribution capabilities to leverage the value of Xinhua Finance's content

Our strategic ambitions are underpinned by Xinhua Finance's bottom-line discipline, and we intend to drive profitable growth while adroitly positioning our businesses in dynamic, fast growing financial service/media service lines.

Please take the time to get to know our businesses and the people of Xinhua Finance. Our ambitions are great, but we continue to make reliable progress towards our goals. We remain focused on the promise of our marketplace and our promises to our shareholders and customers alike.

We hope you find our website useful and interesting, and please do feel free to contact us through any one of our locations.

Sincerely,

Fredy Bush, CEO
