HONG KONG, Nov. 4 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- chinadotcom corporation
(Nasdaq: CHINA; http://www.corp.china.com/ ), a leading integrated enterprise
software and mobile applications company in China and internationally, today
announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2004 under US GAAP.

For the quarter ending September 30, 2004, the company reported revenues of
US$48.3 million including from acquisitions, an increase of 123% from US$21.7
million reported in the same period in 2003 and an increase of 7% from US$45.1
million reported in the previous quarter.

Software and consulting services revenue totaled US$38.3 million for the
quarter including a one month contribution of US$6.0 million for September 2004
from Ross Systems, representing a 185% increase over the US$13.4 million
reported in Q3 2003 and a 10% increase over the US$34.7 million reported in Q2
2004.  Mobile services and applications revenues totaled US$6.8 million for the
quarter, a 15% increase from the US$5.9 million reported in Q3 2003 and a 10%
decrease from US$7.6 million reported in Q2 2004.  The decrease in mobile
services and applications revenues is attributable to challenging market
conditions in China, increased regulatory policies and a temporary suspension
of services commencing in mid-August by China Mobile of Go2joy SMS services. In
mid-October, Go2Joy resumed offering its SMS services again after it fulfilled
the connection and other requirements of China Mobile.  Total revenues from
advertising and marketing activities were US$3.0 million, representing an
increase of 58% from US$1.9 million reported in the same period in 2003 and an
8% sequential increase from US$2.8 million reported in Q2 2004.  The increase
in advertising and marketing revenue was due to modest increases in portal
advertising and seasonal revenue increases from the company's travel trade
magazine and events unit.

Gross profit in Q3 2004 increased by 138% to US$26.4 million from US$11.1
million in Q3 2003 and increased by 1% from US$26.1 million from the previous
quarter.  Gross margin in Q3 2004 was 55% as compared to 51% in Q3 2003 and 58%
in Q2 2004.

On a US GAAP basis, a net loss was recorded in Q3 2004 of US$6.2 million
compared to a net income of US$6.1 million in Q3 2003, and a net loss of
US$642,000 for Q2 2004.  Basic loss per share was 5.8 US cents for the quarter,
compared to a basic earnings per share of 6.0 US cents for Q3 2003 and a basic
loss per share of 0.6 US cents for Q2 2004.

As of September 30, 2004, the company had nearly 110.7 million common shares
outstanding.  The increase in shares from Q2 2004 is principally a result of
common shares issued pursuant to the Ross transaction.

Non-GAAP net income for Q3 2004 totaled US$2.4 million, compared to non- GAAP
net income of US$6.5 million for Q3 2003, and US$4.1 million for Q2 2004.
Non-GAAP earnings per share were 2.3 US cents for the quarter and 3.9 US cents
for Q2 2004.

'We have completed two transformational enterprise software acquisitions in
2004.  These acquisitions have added high margin recurrent revenue streams,
world-class global CRM and ERP product offerings to our suite of enterprise
software products, and seasoned management talent to chinadotcom's bench
strength.  Despite expected near term hurdles of integration and merger-
related issues, we are optimistic regarding the financial performance in the
future as a result of our investments and strategic business planning today,'
said Executive Chairman and Acting CEO Raymond Ch'ien.

Ch'ien continued, 'While revenues from mobile services and applications
declined, our fundamental belief in the market opportunity for chinadotcom's
mobile value added services remains unchanged.  Our focus is the growth of new
subscriptions, the development of new products and services, the expansion of
market channels, and the improvement of customer retention.'

Other Developments

After the quarter, the company appointed James LaLonde as President and CEO of
CDC Software, Asia Pacific, its software unit within the chinadotcom group.
LaLonde is principally responsible for growing the company's sales and presence
in the Asia Pacific region.  Prior to chinadotcom, LaLonde was Vice President,
Worldwide Sales, for Brocade Communications Systems, a provider of intelligent
switches and related components for storage area networks (SANs) and was
responsible for driving Brocade's sales revenue and managing operations
globally.  Before Brocade, LaLonde was Managing Director, Asia Pacific Sales
and Operations of Network Associates, a network security and management
software company, where he had full P&L responsibility for Asia Pacific
operations.  LaLonde began his career in Asia by spending over 5 years in
various senior sales and marketing positions with Microsoft Corporation in
Japan. chinadotcom plans to leverage upon LaLonde's experience to take full
advantage of the fast growing software market in the Asia Pacific region,
particularly in Japan and China.

Non-GAAP Measures

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the company uses non-GAAP financial
measures for net income and other line items, which are adjusted from results
based on GAAP.  These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance the user's
overall understanding of the company's current financial performance and its
prospects for the future.

In particular, the adjusted presentation may be useful for investors to assess
the impact of recent acquisitions.  Although the company continues to report US
GAAP results to investors, the company believes the inclusion of non-GAAP
financial measures provides further clarity in its financial reporting.  These
non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures
used by other companies, and should be considered in addition to results
prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for
or superior to GAAP measures.  The non-GAAP financial measures included in this
press release have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measures.
