    SHANGHAI, China, Oct. 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- Focus Media Holding Limited (Nasdaq: FMCN), China's
largest digital media group, today announced that the
Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel has notified the
company that it has regained compliance with the continued
listing standards of the Nasdaq. Accordingly, the Panel
determined to continue the listing of Focus Media's
American depositary shares on the Nasdaq Global Market.

    As previously disclosed, the Nasdaq listing
qualifications hearings division had notified Focus Media
that, due to the delayed filing of the Company's Form 20-F
for the year ended December 31, 2006, it failed to comply
with continued Nasdaq listing standards. Focus Media
subsequently filed its 2006 annual report on September 27,
2007 to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.
