SHANGHAI, June 27 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Xinhua Finance
Limited ("XFL"; TSE Mothers: 9399; OTC ADRs:
XHFNY), China's premier financial information and media
provider, today announced the launch of the Xinhua Finance
eziData China Consumer Confidence Index (CCCI), a new
barometer of Chinese consumers' changing outlook toward the
macro-economy, pricing and living conditions.
(Logo: http://www.xprn.com.cn/xprn/sa/200611140926.gif
)
The CCCI is produced in conjunction with Dr. Richard
Curtin, Research Professor and Director at the Institute of
Social Research of the University of Michigan, a globally
recognized authority on consumer sentiment research, who
also conducts the well-known University of Michigan
Consumer Sentiment Index. Dr. Curtin has conducted or been
involved in many consumer confidence surveys in the United
States and other parts of the world, and is providing
guidance to ensure the new China index meets international
standards.
The monthly updated China Consumer Confidence Index is
designed to be the most frequently released consumer
confidence index by an independent third party research
operation in China. The CCCI is composed of two
sub-indexes, namely, the current index and expectations
index, covers four key sectors (real estate, durables,
automobiles and stock investment) and offers detailed
demographic data on age, income level and geography.
An effective measurement of consumer behavior, the
index is intended to enable financial professionals,
analysts, and strategy and policy makers to keep closer
track of trends in the Chinese consumer market and to
understand the market directly from the consumers.
"The launch of this new product represents our
continued efforts to bring international standards and best
practices to China and enhance the transparency of the
market," said Ms. Fredy Bush, CEO of XFL.
"Over the last two years, we have been expanding
our capability from serving financial institutions to
professionals in China who require market intelligence and
investment information. We are glad to be able to utilize
our expanded capabilities and integrate our subsidiary's
research expertise in providing a new tool for
understanding China's consumer market," she added.
The index has been developed through a partnership
between eziData and XFL subsidiary Xinhua Finance Media
(Nasdaq: XFML), leveraging Xinhua Finance Media's market
research capabilities and Xinhua Finance's well-established
brand reputation and distribution channels. eziData is a
local provider of China consumer data, serving both
financial and consumer market participants.
"We are proud to work with Dr. Curtin of the
University of Michigan with the support of Xinhua Finance
family," said Ms. Kathy Chen, President of eziData.
"I am confident that the University's highly
recognized methodology in consumer confidence indexing and
Xinhua Finance Media's expertise in China's consumer market
can be effectively combined in the customization of a tool
that reflects the real situation within China and fulfills
the requirements of sophisticated users."
The survey for the index is conducted in 50 top cities
across mainland China, targeting demographics with strong
consumption capacity. The index results are released on the
last Wednesday of each month.
The results of the latest June survey indicate that
Chinese consumers showed a slight confidence decline due to
growing concerns over recent price increases, including the
spike in pork and egg prices during the month. A summary of
the first survey results is attached.
For more information about Xinhua Finance eziData China
Consumer Confidence Index or to subscribe to the latest
monthly survey report, please contact us via
info@eziData.com .
Methodology
Xinhua Finance eziData China Consumer Confidence Index
is produced in association with Dr. Richard Curtin,
Research Professor and Director of the Consumer Sentiment
Surveys at the Institute of Social Research, University of
Michigan. The index is based on a monthly survey of 1,500
Chinese households via stratified random sampling in 50
representative cities across the eastern, middle and
western parts of China using the well-established
methodology of the University of Michigan. All data is
collected via computer assisted telephone interviewing
(CATI). Index of April 2007 survey is set as the benchmark
(100).

Year-to-year change: 37.5%

to download the chart.
Highlights
The IPO indicator stayed at its high of 251.1 at the
end of May, unchanged from the previous month. Four stocks
were added to the indicator, three of which were listed on
the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the fourth on the Hong Kong
Stock Exchange.
Analysis
Of the 107 equities included in both the April and May
indicators, fifty-six dropped in price, fifty increased,
and one remained unchanged. Energy stocks continued to be
the main contributors to the indicator's value. China Coal
(H share, 1898), Datong Coal (A share, 601001), and
Pingdingshan Tianan Coal (A share, 601666) represented 43
percent of the increase in the indicator's market
capitalization. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China
(ICBC; A share, 601398; H share, 1398), China CITIC Bank (A
share, 601998; H share, 0998), Industrial Bank(A share,
601166), and Bank of China (A share, 601988; H share, 3988)
accounted for the largest drops in market capitalization in
May, but these were not enough to lower the value of the
indicator.
Methodology
A stock's float-adjusted market capitalization over
time forms the basis for indicator calculations. Stock
dividends, stock splits, special dividends, share
consolidations, repurchases, spin-offs, and combination
stock distributions may trigger adjustments to the
indicator values. Only companies incorporated and domiciled
in mainland China that go public on the Shanghai, Shenzhen,
and Hong Kong stock exchanges are included. Companies are
removed from the indicator after twelve months.
Xinhua Finance/Milken Institute China Indicators
The Xinhua Finance/Milken Institute China Indicators
provide investors, analysts, and financial professionals
insight into China's money and capital markets. Five of the
eight indicators have been launched since November 2006: the
Renminbi Pressure Indicator, the Chinese IPO Indicator, the
Market Adjusted Debt (MAD) Indicator, the Banking Strength
Indicator (BSI), and the Adjusted Trade and Finance (ATF)
Indicator. The remaining three indicators (the China
M&A Indicator, the China Privatization Indicator, and
the China Corporate Governance Indicator) will be launched
later this year.
Time Period Coverage and Frequency
New companies are added to the indicator as soon as
they are listed, while current companies are removed after
twelve months. The IPO Indicator has a base date of
December 31, 1997, when the indicator's value was set equal
to 100, and covers the period from December 31, 1991, to the
present. Values are calculated on a monthly basis. The
indicator for each month is released in the third week of
the following month.
Sources of Data
The real-time and historical trading data used in the
construction of this indicator are provided by Bloomberg
and Xinhua Finance; underlying information used to
calculate the float ratio is obtained from a variety of
sources, including Xinhua Finance's subsidiary Mergent,
stock exchanges, regulators, and the companies themselves.
Corporate actions are sourced from Xinhua Finance,
regulatory filings, and news services.

Indicator Value Change
March 2007: 202.7

Year-to-year change: 12.46%
Click
http://www.xinhuafinance.com/en/charts/ipo_rpi/0706/rpi_chart0706.jpg
to download the chart.
Highlights
In March 2007, the Renminbi Pressure Indicator (RPI)
score increased by 1.30 percent as China's foreign exchange
reserves rose to US$1.20 trillion. The interest rate rose
0.27 percentage point as the government tried to slow down
investment growth.
Analysis
Yuan appreciation and mounting foreign exchange
reserves continued to push the RPI higher in March to
202.7, or 1.30 percent over the previous month. Foreign
exchange reserves rose by US$44.7 billion in March, which
reflected a 50 percent increase in China's trade surplus in
February. This was the second-largest value increase since
the revaluation of the yuan in July 2005. For the period,
the increase in foreign exchange reserves accounted for
1.28 percentage points, while exchange rate appreciation
accounted for 0.02 percentage point. In regards to the
April and May values, although foreign exchange reserves
are not yet known, the monthly yuan appreciation rate grew
to 0.40 and 0.69 percent, respectively (from 0.07 percent
in March), while the interest rate was unchanged. The
trade surplus declined to $6.9 billion in April before
growing to US$16.8 billion in May. Despite the 8.18
percent yuan appreciation since July 2005, the growth in
trade balance and foreign exchange reserves has shown no
sign of slowing down and will likely continue to drive the
upward movement in the indicator.
Methodology
The RPI is based on a monthly examination of the
interaction between the following variables to compute
overall cumulative exchange rate pressure: the percentage
change in the spot exchange rate, the percentage change in
foreign exchange reserves, and the change in domestic
interest rates. The indicator measures the pressure on
China's currency relative to the U.S. dollar. It is set
equal to 100 on January 1, 2000. Increases in the RPI
reflect appreciation pressure on the renminbi (RMB).
Xinhua Finance/Milken Institute China Indicators
The Xinhua Finance/Milken Institute China Indicators
are aimed at providing investors, analysts, and financial
professionals deeper insight into China's money and capital
markets. Three of the eight indicators¨Dthe Renminbi
Pressure Indicator, the Chinese IPO Indicator, and the
Market Adjusted Debt Indicator¨Dwere launched in November
2006. A Banking Strength Indicator and Adjusted Trade and
Finance Indicator were launched in April 2007. The
remaining indicators will be launched later this year.
Time Period Coverage and Frequency
The indicator covers the period from November 30, 1980,
through March 2007. Data are available from the Milken
Institute upon request. There will be a two- to four-month
delay in reporting values for the indicator, depending on
the release of information from authorities in China.
Sources of Data
The data used in the construction of the indicator are
obtained from the International Monetary Fund, People's
Bank of China, and State Administration of Foreign
Exchange.

"DVR" or Digital Video Recorders) improve home
entertainment by providing consumers with an easy way to
record, watch, and control television. DVR/PVR records
broadcast television programming in a digital format on a
hard disk drive rather than on a medium such as a VHS tape,
allowing viewers to pause a live broadcast or replay video
from a buffer, as well as the recording, timed-recording,
and playback of their favorite television broadcasts.
Established in 1997, TiVo has experienced significant
growth as its products have proven popular with consumers
in many markets worldwide. TiVo devices have evolved
steadily with many new features such as DVD recording,
commercial skip capability, sharing of recordings over the
Internet, and programming and remote control using PDAs,
networked PCs, or Web browsers. TiVo can be set to
auto-record according to a programming timetable with 80GB
of memory for up to 90 hours of recording. TiVo's many
features have proven a complement and enhancement to the
overall home entertainment experience.

NEW YORK, June 26 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Network CN Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: NWCN), a Chinese media and travel
network company headquartered in Hong Kong, today announced
that it has entered into an agreement to operate 52
two-sided rolling poster frame outdoor advertising panels
located in the pedestrian mall on Nanjing Road (Nanjing Lu)
in Shanghai. Network CN plans to convert 28 of the poster
frames into LED digital video panels. Network CN will also
convert the remaining 24 displays to bigger rolling light
boxes to match the size of the new LED digital video
panels.
The agreement, which could generate revenues for the
Company by mid-August, 2007, extends through January, 2011.
It was signed between Shanghai Chuangtian Advertising
Company Ltd. and Network CN's subsidiary, Shanghai Quo
Advertising Company Ltd.
"All the panels are located in the pedestrian mall
on Nanjing Road, which positions them ideally to capture the
attention of our clients' target audience. Together with
the rights to two mega-size digital video billboards that
we obtained in May 2007, we will have rolling light boxes,
roadside LED panels and mega-size LED billboards covering
the whole of Nanjing Road's pedestrian mall. This is
another significant milestone in the expansion of our media
network business in Shanghai, one of the key metropolitan
areas in China," Godfrey Hui, Chief Executive Officer
of Network CN, commented. "We are committed to
creating value for our clients by leveraging our network
coverage of the most exciting, highly visible areas in
metropolitan China, spanning Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing,
and Wuhan."
Nanjing Road is one of the most visited tourist
attractions in Shanghai, with more than 600 stores,
restaurants and art galleries. It is the "Number One
Commercial Street in China" in terms of total annual
revenues. The prominence of Shanghai is growing as the
2010 Shanghai Expo approaches, spotlighting the Company's
outdoor media presence.
"With the world-class events scheduled to take
place in China in the next few years, we have secured a
first-mover advantage in providing the highest-profile
exposure for our clients' advertising," Mr. Hui
added.
