CMGE: What a wonderful SHORT. Just look at CMGE Top Revenue Generating Game.

A Closer Look at CMGE Leading Game tells us how much in trouble this little
known Chinese Company is.

First Quarter 2014 Results (link)


The sequential and year-over-year increases were due to the strong growth of our self-developed social games,
namely Joyful Da Yin Jia, and the publishing of both third party single player and social games.

From the information disclosed in the Quarterly reports presented to U.S. investors it looks like Joyful
Da Yin Jia () has been the main growth contributor at CMGE.

SO UNFORTUNATE THAT Joyful Da Yin Jia ( / name in version


1.x) is not even listed on most of the App SK8tores (only 2 out of 10) with <7m total
downloads! Also, I was not able to locate the Game on the Apple App Store. Game also not
to be found on any of the top 3 China Mobile Providers App Stores.
*These findings seem to corroborate the statements made in the following SeekingAlpha Instablog, where
the author claimed that CMGE's Primary Cahs Cow - Joyful Zha Jin Hua- Has Pull

From Distribution Stores As Regulator Tighen The Mobile Gaming Market /China

Yet, during the 13 2014 Earnings Call, Ken Fei Fu Chang (CMGE CFO) stated:
Okay. So between self-developed and publishing businesses, both 50-50 and in terms of the Joyful Da Yin
Jia is about 25% of our revenue and the top 5% -- the top five games roughly represent 60% of revenue
(Q3 2014 CC Bloomberg Transcript, page 9 of 11)

On a REVENUE of 357.6m for Q4 2014, this means that JOYFUL DA JIA generated approximately
89.4m RMB in sales for CMGE during the quarter ($14.5m / $58m annualized). YET, the game is
present in only 2 of the top 10 App Stores in China? Ouch Sounds impossible this little game
generated the reported revenue right? Impossible especially when you consider the number of
downloads.

Btw, does this look like the website for a game that at current Quarterly Revenue Rates is expected to
generate approximately $60m in yearly sales? I would not think so! Only Two Updates in 2014:

Since AppAnnie does not allow to disclose its data publicly, if you are able to locate the game you can
look at the chart yourself. But hey that's a big IF. OK, let me be straight with you: YOU WONT
BE ABLE TO LOCATE THE GAME.
