Xinhua Finance CEO Sends Letter to Shareholders
July 10, 2007




    SHANGHAI, July 9 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Chief Executive
Officer of Xinhua Finance Limited (TSE Mothers: 9399) and
Xinhua Finance Media Limited (Nasdaq: XFML), Fredy Bush,
today issued the following statement to shareholders of
both companies:

    Dear fellow shareholders, 

    Xinhua Finance Media Limited ("XFMedia") and
its parent, Xinhua Finance, were again the subject of a
media story that requires me to clarify certain
inaccuracies and misperceptions.  I will not let these
media reports distract us from our very intense focus on
our business.  And you should know that the business
remains strong as is evidenced by XFMedia's announcement
this morning revising upwards its revenue guidance for
second quarter 2007 from $23 million to an anticipated
range of $27-29 million.  In addition to the information
below, you can read a letter which went out to my staff on
July 5, 2007 which is available on our website at
http://www.xinhuafinance.com/employee-letter-070705 .

    -- Over the years the media has criticized Xinhua
Finance as being too 
       close to the Xinhua News Agency and the government
of China; now they 
       are criticizing us for not being close enough.  The
fact is, we have a 
       20 plus 10 year exclusive agreement signed in 2000
with the China 
       Economic Information Service of the Xinhua News
Agency and that has not 
       changed.  This has been publicly disclosed on
numerous occasions. 

    -- Xinhua News Agency has always had its own financial
services division, 
       and it is called the China Economic Information
Service of the Xinhua 
       News Agency.  Their recent announcement concerned an
upgrade of those 
       services.  And, contrary to suggestions in the Wall
Street Journal, 
       they are not involved in indices, ratings and so
forth.  Again, this is 
       publicly disclosed. 

    -- The media also have attempted to dispute my role in
the founding of 
       Xinhua Finance and how this company achieved the
success it has 
       experienced to date.  The fact is I was both a
founder and early 
       investor.   The information regarding the
establishment of the company 
       is recorded clearly in the company's public
registration documents.  
       The track record of the company, the valuable
business relationships we 
       have established, and the financial performance we
have achieved speak 
       for themselves, and we are very proud of these
important 
       accomplishments.

    -- I want to point out one of the misperceptions in the
article that is 
       very important to me, even if it may seem innocuous:
I have never 
       attributed the success of Xinhua Finance solely to
my own personal 
       persistence and determination, but instead to that
of my entire team. 

    -- The article also attempted to cast a shadow on me
personally.  Even 
       insignificant facts like the color of my car, the
size of my home in        
       Hawaii, and what my staff calls me were inaccurate. 
In English, my 
       staff calls me Fredy, and in Chinese, because of my
hair, some   
       jokingly call me "mian mian", which means
instant noodles.  But I'm 
       not going to dignify other inaccuracies about my
personal life, 
       supposed nicknames and long-ago family tragedies
with further comment.
  
    As a shareholder of Xinhua Finance and XFMedia myself,
I want the staff to spend its time on building the business
and shareholder value, and that is what I am focused on
doing.   

    I welcome any suggestions you would like us to consider
as we continue to move our company forward.  I truly
appreciate your ongoing support.

    Best regards, 
     Fredy Bush 
     Chief Executive Officer 
     Xinhua Finance Group
