GUANGZHOU CITY, China, June 3 -- Subaye, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBAY) ("Subaye" or the "Company"), a leading outsourced marketing services provider in China engaged in online video advertising and cloud computing business solutions, today announced that its online video advertising customer base included 33,072 paying members on May 31, 2010, an increase of 104.0% year-to-date for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, and an increase of 50.2% since the Company’s second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010. The current level of 33,072 paying members generates a monthly run rate of approximately $3.9 million in revenues, or $46.6 million annually.

Sequential Quarter Comparison

As previously announced, Subaye initially expanded its online video advertising business outside of Guangdong Province in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 by launching new initiatives in Hunan Province, Hong Kong and Taiwan that generated 5,021 new paying members in the second quarter ended March 31, 2010. The addition of these new members, plus 1,520 paying members added in Guangdong Province during the second quarter, resulted in a total of 22,019 paying members on March 31, 2010, an increase of 6,541 or 42.3% from first-quarter fiscal year 2010. For the first six months of fiscal year 2010, paying members generated approximately $11.2 million in revenue.

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2010 Update

The growth in Subaye’s paying customer base from March 31, 2010 through May 31, 2010, was driven by an increase of 4,109, or 24.2%, in paying members in Guangdong Province, the Company’s original and core online video advertising market, and by the addition of 6,944 new paying customers resulting from the Company’s recent expansion into Hubei (3,811) and Hainan (3,133) Provinces. Year-to-date for the Company’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, paying members have more than doubled from 16,211 at September 30, 2009.

"We are very pleased to announce significant growth in our paying membership base for our online video advertising business, both through organic growth and through expansion into new regions of Greater China," stated Mr. Zhiguang Cai, Chief Executive Officer of Subaye, Inc. "Given this significant growth opportunity for Subaye, we have increased our sales and marketing team to 615 employees from 320 at the end of March and from 212 at the close of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. With annual growth of over 20% projected for the Chinese Internet advertising market through 2010, driven in large part by continued strong growth in franchise and chain store enterprises, coupled with our recently implemented strategic refocus on our core online video advertising platform, we believe Subaye is well positioned to capitalize on this compelling growth opportunity and to further increase our share in China's expanding online advertising market.”

Financial Outlook for 2010 and 2011

Management reaffirms guidance of revenue of $38.3 million and net income from continuing operations of $12.5 million, or $1.77 per share, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. For fiscal year 2011 the Company expects growth in revenue and net income from continuing operations of 86.3% and 133.5% over fiscal year 2010 guidance, respectively, resulting in revenue of $71.3 million and net income from continuing operations of $29.2 million, or $3.69 per share.

The preceding projections include assumptions based on the acquisition of new members in various provinces within Greater China, including Fujian, Shanxi and Shannxi in the short term. The projections do not include any revenues or profits potentially generated by the Company’s online 3D shopping portal, which is scheduled to be operational on August 31, 2010.
