HONG KONG, March 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

- Solid Business Performance and Growth

- Focused on Mobile Internet Business to Capture China's "Convergence"

The CASH Group* (1049.HK), a focused developer of mobile internet in China, today announced its 2010 annual results. The Group recorded a net profit attributable to owners of HK$50.8 million for the year ending 31 December 2010, a more than double of HK$20.8 million (as restated) for the previous year. The Board of Directors recommends the payment of a 2010 final dividend of HK 0.2 cent per share (2009: nil).

Mr. Bankee Pak-hoo Kwan, Chairman and CEO of the CASH Group, said: "We have experienced solid business performance and growth with our strong foothold in China as planned. With separate professional management teams in place for our associates, CASH Financial Services Group (CFSG: HK:510) and Pricerite, we are now focused on developing and expanding our Moli Group, based out of Shanghai with 300 dedicated professionals for innovative award-winning online games, into the lucrative mobile internet market in China."

The CASH Group's expansion into Mobile Internet business is to capture China's announced policy of "convergence" of the internet, mobile and cable television services, which is part of a global phenomenon. China is already the world's largest mobile subscriber market with over 800 million mobile users and growing. This is around triple the size of the US market which is a mature market. According to the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), mobile internet users in China grew from 233 million in 2009 to 303 million in 2010, an increase of 30%.

"Moli Group's current business in online games alone is in a market segment estimated at billions of dollars. With emergence of smartphones in China, Mobile Internet services relating to contents, casual games, social networking and other value added services are poised for unprecedented take off. We are now building Moli into an integrated end-to-end mobile internet platform that captures the full value chain of activities," Mr. Kwan explained.

The Moli Group has a database of 40 million subscribers. It has announced a tie-up with Oberon Media Group, which is invested by Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Oak Investment Partners and is a world's indisputable leader for mobile games. It has set an industry standard on games and related contents with its game solutions being adopted by some of the world's innovative corporations including Microsoft, AT&T, Electronic Arts, Orange France and Yahoo!. The Moli Group is also acquiring control of a profitable mobile platform, Yole, with 20 million subscribers in China. This is only a beginning of the Moli Group's expansion plan.

"With regard to CFSG and Pricerite, these associates of ours will benefit from China's 12th Five-Year Plan to expand domestic consumption through structured investments. These businesses are ready to reap rewards from the emerging wealth management and home furnishing markets respectively," Mr. Kwan said.
