Excluding share-based compensation charges, fair value changes of equity securities investments and exchangeable senior notes recorded in other income, and their tax effects, non-GAAP diluted earnings per ordinary share and per ADS was RMB5.73 (US$0.83) for the first quarter of 2026. Each ADS currently represents one ordinary share of the Company.As of March 31, 2026, the balance of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investment, and held to maturity time deposit and financial products was RMB104.0 billion (US$15.1 billion).Recent DevelopmentThe Company is and has been the subject of investigations or inquiries by national authorities regarding competition law matters, consumer protection issues, and other areas. While the Company is unable to predict the outcome of any current or future investigations, litigation or inquiries, it remains focused on maintaining robust compliance and governance standards.In January 2026, the Company received a notice of investigation from the State Administration for Market Regulation ("SAMR") that it had commenced an investigation into whether the Company has abused or is abusing a dominant market position to engage in monopolistic conduct pursuant to the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law. As of the date of this press release, the Company is fully cooperating with the SAMR in its ongoing investigation, including by actively providing supplementary information and documentation, and will continue to engage constructively with the SAMR on compliance with regulatory requirements. Although the Company is currently unable to predict the timing, outcome or consequences of the investigation, or estimate the possible loss, that may be associated with it, the Company will continue to monitor developments closely. The SAMR's investigation findings could directly result in a significant fine, other financial penalties and/or changes to the Company's business practices and may have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company remains committed to continuously reviewing its business practices while providing high-quality products and services to users and partners worldwide.Business OutlookFor the second quarter of 2026, the Company expects net revenue to grow by approximately 3%–8% year -over-year. Compared with the first quarter, the slower pace of growth is expected to have a corresponding impact on margins and bottom-line results. This reflects direct and indirect impacts from macro headwinds such as elevated energy pricing and geopolitical volatility, alongside operational adjustments the Company implemented to align with evolving industry standards and compliance frameworks. This forecast represents Trip.com Group's current and preliminary view based on the information available to it as of the date of this press release, and is subject to change and may be different from the second quarter financial results to be published in-due-course.Conference CallTrip.com Group's management team will host a conference call at 8:00 PM on June 24, 2026, U.S. Eastern Time (or 8:00 AM on June 25, 2026, Hong Kong Time) following this announcement.The conference call will be available live on Webcast and for replay at: https://investors.trip.com.

These statements are made under the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "future," "intend," "plan," "believe," "estimate," "is/are likely to," "confident," or other similar statements. Among other things, quotations from management in this press release, as well as Trip.com Group's strategic and operational plans, contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, severe or prolonged downturn in the global or Chinese economy, general declines or disruptions in the travel industry, volatility in the trading price of Trip.com Group's ADSs or shares, Trip.com Group's reliance on its relationships and contractual arrangements with travel suppliers and strategic alliances, failure to compete against new and existing competitors, failure to successfully manage current growth and potential future growth, risks associated with any strategic investments or acquisitions, seasonality in the travel industry in the relevant jurisdictions where Trip.com Group operates, failure to successfully develop Trip.com Group's existing or future business lines, damage to or failure of Trip.com Group's infrastructure and technology, loss of services of Trip.com Group's key executives, adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the relevant jurisdictions where Trip.com Group operates, any regulatory developments in laws, regulations, rules, policies or guidelines applicable to Trip.com Group, any investigation, enforcement or legal/administrative proceeding against Trip.com Group in connection with its business operation and other risks outlined in Trip.com Group's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

Trip.com Group's management believes the non-GAAP financial measures facilitate better understanding of operating results from quarter to quarter and provide management with a better capability to plan and forecast future periods.Non-GAAP information is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, does not have a standardized meaning under GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for GAAP results. A limitation of using non-GAAP financial measures is that non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges, fair value changes of equity securities investments and exchangeable senior notes recorded in other income, and their tax effects that have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in Trip.com Group's business for the foreseeable future.Reconciliations of Trip.com Group's non-GAAP financial data to the most comparable GAAP data included in the consolidated statement of operations are included at the end of this press release.About Trip.com Group LimitedTrip.com Group Limited (Nasdaq: TCOM; HKEX: 9961) is a leading global one-stop travel platform, integrating a comprehensive suite of travel products and services and differentiated travel content.

TCOM Lawsuit Alleges Misrepresentations Regarding Active Antitrust Scrutiny - TRIP.COM GROUP LIMITED Investors Face Losses Amid Multi-Day 19% ADS Price Decline: SueWallStApril 30, 2026 9:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Alert: Claims Focus on Alleged Misrepresentations About Anti-Monopoly Enforcement RiskNEW YORK, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SueWallSt reminds purchasers of Trip.com Group Limited (NASDAQ: TCOM) securities of a pending securities class action.







THE CASE: A class action seeks to recover damages for investors who purchased Trip.com securities between April 30, 2024 and January 13, 2026.YOUR OPTIONS: You may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out-of-pocket fees. See if you can recover losses or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at jlevi@SueWallSt.com or (888) SueWallSt.Trip.com ADSs plunged $12.90 per share (17.05%) on January 14, 2026, with an additional $1.48 per share (2.35%) decline the following day, after Bloomberg reported that China's State Administration for Market Regulation had launched an antitrust probe into the company. Investors have until May 11, 2026 to seek lead plaintiff status.The Alleged Anti-Monopoly Enforcement AccelerationAn online travel platform operating as the dominant player in China's travel booking market cannot treat regulatory scrutiny as a hypothetical future possibility when enforcement activity is already escalating against it, the lawsuit contends. Trip.com's SEC filings framed anti-monopoly risk in conditional terms, stating that its business "could" be adversely affected. Yet as the complaint details, enforcement was not speculative. Months before the formal SAMR investigation announcement, regional regulators in Guizhou and Zhengzhou had already summoned Trip.com and other travel platforms over antitrust concerns and alleged violations of rules against imposing unfair restrictions on merchants.Regulatory Management and the Qunar Acquisition LegacyThe filing states that Trip.com's 2015 acquisition of Qunar, a competing travel platform, sits at the center of the regulatory exposure. Trip.com's own annual reports acknowledged that the Qunar transaction and its business cooperation arrangements with Qunar could be deemed violations of the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law. The penalties for such violations are severe: fines of up to 10% of annual sales revenue, orders to cease concentration activities, or mandated unwinding of prohibited transactions. Despite these acknowledged risks, the action claims, management presented them as uncertain possibilities rather than as an active and accelerating enforcement concern.Alleged Anti-Monopoly Impact by the NumbersThe SAMR accused Trip.com of "abusing its market position and engaging in monopolistic practices," as alleged in the complaintIn August 2025, Guizhou's market regulator summoned five online tourism platforms to discuss potential antitrust concerns, the lawsuit chroniclesIn September 2025, Zhengzhou's market regulator summoned Trip.com specifically for alleged violations related to unfair merchant restrictionsThe PRC Anti-Monopoly Law permits fines of up to 10% of a company's prior-year sales revenue for prohibited concentrationsTrip.com's Qunar acquisition in 2015 remained under regulatory uncertainty for over a decade, as detailed in the actionTwo consecutive trading days of losses totaled $14.38 per ADS, bringing shares to $61.30Calculate your potential recovery or call (888) SueWallSt."The complaint raises serious questions about whether investors received accurate information regarding the trajectory of regulatory enforcement that was already underway against Trip.com in multiple Chinese provinces." -- Joseph E.

TCOM Lawsuit Alleges Inadequate Disclosures Regarding Known Antitrust Enforcement Risks - Trip.com Group Limited Investors Face Losses After China's State Administration for Market Regulation Announced a Formal Antitrust Probe: SueWallStApril 23, 2026 9:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Disclosure Under Scrutiny: Were Risk Warnings Adequate?NEW YORK, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SueWallSt examines the adequacy of Trip.com Group Limited's (NASDAQ: TCOM) risk disclosures in SEC filings that allegedly failed to warn shareholders of specific, known antitrust enforcement threats. Find out if your losses qualify for recovery. You may also contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. at jlevi@SueWallSt.com or (888) SueWallSt.







TCOM shares lost $14.38 per ADS across two trading sessions in January 2026 after China's State Administration for Market Regulation announced a formal antitrust probe. The lead plaintiff deadline is May 11, 2026.What the Company DisclosedTrip.com's 2023 and 2024 Annual Reports on Form 20-F contained risk factor language addressing the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law. In both filings, the Company stated its strategy of investing in complementary businesses "could be adversely affected" by anti-monopoly laws and that "uncertainties" existed regarding interpretation and enforcement. The filings acknowledged that past transactions, including the 2015 Qunar acquisition, "have been and may continue to be subject to PRC regulatory authorities' scrutiny from anti-monopoly perspective from time to time."What the Complaint Challenges Was MissingThe securities action contends that this language was materially inadequate because it framed active regulatory threats as hypothetical possibilities. The complaint identifies specific pre-existing enforcement activity that allegedly demanded more pointed disclosure:Trip.com's risk factors used conditional language ("could," "may") to describe anti-monopoly enforcement risk, even as scrutiny of the travel sector was allegedly intensifyingIn August 2025, Guizhou's market regulator summoned five online tourism platforms to discuss potential antitrust concerns, yet the Company's disclosures allegedly did not update to reflect this escalationIn September 2025, the market regulator in Zhengzhou summoned Trip.com specifically for alleged violations of rules against setting "unfair restrictions" on merchants' transactions and pricesThe 2024 Annual Report actually removed specific references to the Qunar acquisition and SAMR scrutiny that appeared in the 2023 filing, the complaint notes, even as enforcement activity was reportedly acceleratingThe lawsuit asserts that boilerplate warnings about regulatory "uncertainties" could not substitute for disclosure of known, specific regulatory interactions already underwayRegulatory RealityThe January 14, 2026 Bloomberg report revealed that SAMR had accused Trip.com of "abusing its market position and engaging in monopolistic practices." The complaint charges that this formal probe did not emerge from a vacuum. The action claims that prior regulatory summoning in Guizhou and Zhengzhou, combined with China's established pattern of targeting dominant internet platforms under the Anti-Monopoly Law, made the enforcement risk far more concrete than Trip.com's conditional risk factor language conveyed.Why Generic Warnings May Not ProtectThe lawsuit maintains that Trip.com's filings presented antitrust risk as a general industry concern rather than a company-specific threat that was actively materializing. As pleaded in the action, when a company is aware of specific regulatory interactions targeting its own business practices, disclosure obligations extend beyond boilerplate language about "uncertainties" in law enforcement."Generic risk factor language cannot substitute for disclosing specific, known problems that are already affecting a company's operations. When regulatory authorities are actively engaged with a company about potential violations, investors are entitled to know." -- Joseph E.

Hi Ho, TCOM……

“Sometimes it’s just too easy….”

$$ TCOM $$

whatever happened to tcom?

Something is happening now!!

It looked like someone slowly sold this down into the teens and then agressively accumulated...looks like a million shares or more now. Every afternoon for the last week someone has been loading up.

Unknown, unfollowed and unloved.But quietly creeping up.

print .30. Who woulda thought?! :)

But, someone is apparently accumulating this stock right now. Wouldn't surprise me to see some kind of major announcement in the next 2-3 weeks.

And that's not all. Their accountant doesn't have much of a grasp for simple math either. They show $9MM in revenues for 05 and subtracting the $6.3MM for the rest of the year gives you $2.8MM for Q4. That sounds just fine until you look at gross profit for Q4. Subtract the $2.3MM they grossed for the 1st 9 months from the $5.5MM they grossed for the entire year and you come up with $3.2MM for Q4 which is greater than the $2.8MM in total revenues for the quarter. Is this a Chinese twist on funny math? Sure looks like it. But if you own stock in the company it can't be to funny.

'r7315', you are more than welcome to do whatever you want but Tim seems to have a habit of over promising and under delivering. He promised $15MM in revenues for 05 and only delivered $9MM and never gave an explanation for the shortfall. He's now promising $27MM for 06 so does that mean he's going to now deliver $15MM? Don't know. But I do know his poor regard for the truth makes me wonder how valid the rest of the PR's and filings are.

Just my opinion, but this might be a fun stock to watch but maybe not so fun to own.

Daily Commentary


Our system posted a BUY-IF today. The previous BUY recommendation that was confirmed was made on 08.02.2005 (8) days ago, when the stock price was 0.2320. Since then TCOM has gained 132.76% .

This is a call for another buying opportunity. First, be aware of what happened at after hours trading and futures. Then, follow the next session very carefully and be on your toes. This candlestick pattern is a bullish one, but we have to see whether it will be confirmed or not.

Do you see a gap-up at the market open? Do you see a white candlestick forming with a higher close at the session's end? Shortly, is it a nice bullish day? If so, increase your holdings or open new long positions.

Well, things do not go as expected sometimes. You may rather see a gap-down at the open or a black candlestick forming with a lower close in the next session. If this is the case, humbly accept the market verdict, cancel the buy orders and cover any long positions that you might have opened.

[MOTTO OF THE DAY]
Buy only if the bulls are in charge
Forget about it if the bears surge

Candlestick Analysis
Today’s Candlestick Patterns:

Inverted Umbrella
Bullish Gravestone Doji




Today an Inverted Umbrella was formed. The long upper shadow shows the evidence for selling pressure, but the position of high price indicates that plenty of buyers still are around.

For more about this candlestick click here.

The last two candlesticks formed a Bullish Gravestone Doji Pattern . This is a bullish reversal pattern that marks a potential change in trend. However, its reliability is not very high and it requires confirmation.

Happycampers, this is a great article on what is to be expected from TCOM.

With a market cap of $4B (32.3M shares)for Baidu and expected revenues of $30M for 2005, we have a pps around $125.

If I transpose it all for TCOM, we are talking about a marketcap under $4M (70.2M + 30M restricted shares) for revenues around $15M this year, the potential is there for a big pps increase when people realizes it.

All this information has to come out, hopefully the board meeting will highlight it all for the investment community later this month.

The returns can be tremendous, but never speculate with more than you can afford to lose as they are often subject to extreme volatility. We are not investment advisors but are here to provide insight into various aspects of the market and research into microcap stocks we feel offer strong growth potential over a 12 to 18 month period.




The Importance of TCOM SME's to Baidu

Remember the good old days? January 2000, when foreign taxi drivers had stock tips and your stock broker actually made you money? Well it was deja vu all over again on Friday when the shares of Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) gained 400% on the opening day of a new NASDAQ IPO.

If you haven't watched the news since Friday or picked up a newspaper, you likely don't know that Baidu is billed as the Google of China. The company commands about 80% of the search engine market in China but unlike Google, its revenue is dramatically lower (forecasted to be in the range of $30 million U.S. for 2005). However, it’s the future earnings potential that has everyone licking their lips.

In the United States (297 million people), approximately 68% of the population use the internet. In China (1 Billion people), approximately 10% of the population are on the internet. This also doesn't factor in the 300 million mobile phone users in China who are very tech savvy. Many analysts (including myself) believe China is at the point of internet usage we saw in North America during the mid 1990's. And we all know the type of explosive growth companies saw within a few years of that (in particular the early market leaders).

Many parts of China will unfortunately never see the technology needed for internet access but even with 50% market penetration in three years, the numbers are staggering. As China's population and economy continue to grow, the number of internet users could grow to several hundred million. First consider the following statistics:

Population estimate for North America in 2005 - 328,387,059
Internet users as of June, 2005 (68.0% penetration rate) - 223,392,807

Right now Google commands a market cap in the range of $80 billion. Baidu is currently worth $4 billion (based upon a share price of $125). The big difference right now is in revenue. For the last quarter, Google reported huge revenue of $1.3 Billion and Q2 net profit of $343 million. Baidu on the other hand will see revenue in the range of $30 million for all of 2005.

So how is it a company with such small revenue by comparison can command a market cap in the range of $4 billion? It’s because of the statistics above and the future growth potential. Institutional investors, hedge funds, and even retail investors, are all gambling that China is in the early stages of the same cycle we saw in North America several years ahead of the 2000 tech boom.

Importance of SME's (Small and Medium Enterprises)

For several years no one could understand how to make money on the internet - particularly through search engines. Even in 2000, companies like Yahoo, MSN, and Google were receiving enormous traffic to the search engines, but no one had a profitable business model. It was a lot like having a computerized index system for the world’s largest library and shopping center. Millions were walking through the door every day using your system for free, but who was going to pay the bills? It sure wasn't going to be the visitor or consumer - even though they wouldn't know where to start without your service.

Then along came a company called goto.com who thought of charging the businesses interested in selling something. The business or vendor (SME) knew by that stage it was impossible to get listed at the top of the search engine results and if you weren't on that first page, it was like finding a needle in a haystack. So Goto came up with a "pay per click" business model that didn't serve up the banner ads everyone was ignoring, but instead moved search results for specific keywords to the top - but only those results people or companies paid for. The vendor got exposure and only had to pay each time the user clicked on that search summary ($0.05 to $XX based upon a competitive bidding process for keywords).

It was a lucrative model and the first time major search engines saw a method of making money from search results - and making lots of it. It didn't take long for Yahoo to buy out Overture for $1.6 billion and now companies like Google are raking in enormous amounts of cash from search results using that same Overture concept.

So what is the importance of the SME?

Search engines depend upon millions of people like you and I to search for stuff on the internet every day. But do we pay for it? No. Large corporations are search engine advertisers but primarily it’s the small to medium sized business - anything from Jane Smith selling knitted sweaters in Alaska to a midsized insurance company in Toronto that employs 300 people.

If you took a detailed look at who is generating the revenue for companies like Google, Yahoo, and MSN, it's not the world's largest corporations or the individual consumer. It's the thousands of small and medium sized businesses (SME's) across North America who have something to sell.

China is no different, and while investors are awestruck over the growth potential of the internet in China, everyone is overlooking the importance of the SME in that country. Even with Baidu, when the smoke settles, it will be the SME's across China and abroad (those that want to sell something to the billion people in that country) that will pay the bills and drive top line revenue growth for the search engines.

That Brings us to Telecom Communications, Inc. (TCOM/OTCBB $0.57)

One of the reasons we started following this company in the first place, was their advanced technology for the internet and mobile phones, world class customer service, and their experience and understanding of this huge but unique market. Of particular importance, and the area that most are overlooking even with Baidu, is their focus on one million SME's in China.

A major component of TCOM's (OTCBB: TCOM) business model is providing products, services, and technology tailored specifically for the needs of the SME. Technology that not only assists them with marketing and promotion over the internet, but over mobile phones and wireless devices. When you consider that this country already has 300 million mobile users, the potential of this aspect is incredible when you combine it with growth of the internet.

TCOM may lack the public profile of Baidu but it's access to SME's and decision to quietly focus its resources on building that niche market is very important. It’s the SME that keeps the lights on at the end of the day. The company has already signed up thousands of SME's for their latest technology services and they have a very strong working relationship with a private company called ICChina. ICChina is likely the largest B2B network in China linking hundreds of thousands of SME's with government agencies, suppliers, etc.

Conclusion

Our last StockHouse update on TCOM was July 4th in the low/mid $0.20's. On Friday TCOM hit $0.75 and pushed our one month gains as high as 200% before moving back into the mid $0.50's. We're still looking at a nice double for the month but TCOM is intended as a long term play for us. The internet has a long way to go in China and these early leaders will likely see the bulk of their gains in the years to come. Besides Baidu, there are half a dozen other major players in China that trade on NASDAQ but they are all priced in the double digits.

TCOM's current market cap is in the range of $40 million - a far cry from everyone else who boasts valuations in the billion dollar range. TCOM still has a lot of work ahead of it to catch up on the revenue side (forecast is $15 million for 2005) but their % growth to date has been tremendous and I believe we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg right now. Their business model is very solid, the potential in China enormous, and their decision to focus on the SME is very wise as no matter how you slice it, the SME is the cash cow.

Baidu.com IPO Could be the Google of China

Baidu.com has officially priced its IPO at $27, way above the original $23-25 estimated range and intial IPO price of $19. Baidu.com is the most used Chinese language Internet search provider. It is the sixth largest website in the world during the last quarter, and Google owns a 2.6% stake in the company, with rumors to be acquiring a larger stake in Baidu. The company is already profitable, with revenue of $13.4 million and there are high expectations for Baidu to compete in the booming search engine market. According to Briefing.com, other plays to watch with this stock include Telecom Communications (OTC: TCOM), Netease.com Inc. (Nasdaq: NTES) and Ctrip.com (Nasdaq: CTRP).

I am wondering why TCOM does not PR that info, this is all good news.

TCOM's Partnership with BIDU :

Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Ray Chen, COO of TCOM said: "We are extremely excited about having partnered with Baidu, the pioneer and market leader for providing Chinese search engine services in China. Baidu has established itself as one of the most popular Internet brands in China. The Chinese Keyword service is one of the most widely used services on the Internet in China, serving over 60 million keyword resolutions everyday and reaching over 90% of 80 million Chinese Internet users. As a result, in addition to enjoying direct navigation and keyword search in the browser address line, Internet users in China can access the Chinese Keyword service from China's leading portals and ISPs. I believe, by leveraging Baidu's leading status in China's Internet industry and wireless content that IC Star MMS provides, we are confident this partnership will be a very profitable one for our bottom line."

China, Can You Hear Me Now?

Monday, Nov 1, 2004 By Danny Deadlock. The report is available at http://www.stockhouse.com/shfn/editorial.asp?edtid=17408

Telecom Communications (TCOM $0.43)

52 week High $2.36 Low $0.09 Market Cap: $30 million

Too Much Money, Not Enough Players

Thanks to Google and Yahoo, major U.S. Internet players are back in vogue and the few public Chinese internet (or mobile phone services) companies you can find, are commanding huge value as the money rolls in by the truckload. All listed on Nasdaq, SINA ($33.71), SNDA ($31.20), and NTES ($46.06) all boast revenue in the range of $200 million, cash in the range of $100 to $200 million, and market caps in the range of $1.5 billion!

Silicon Valley venture capitalists and several large public companies are dying to tap into the Chinese tech market but they're finding this a tough nut to crack. Earlier this year, Google made a small investment in Baidu (China's largest and most popular search engine), but even after raising only $11 million from venture capitalists, it stated it was profitable and did not need to raise more money at the moment -- words rarely heard on Wall Street. Numerous investment bankers have approached Baidu about a Nasdaq IPO but the company is in no rush after seeing their recent sales quadruple.

Cliff Higgerson, partner at Palo Alto's ComVentures, recently returned from China and is evangelizing his other partners to invest in telecom there. "We feel China is the most important single event in a generation," he says. For years, if not decades, entrepreneurs have dreamed of making it in China, salivating at the prospect of more than a billion people and an economy growing at 9 percent a year."

"China draws more investment capital in a year than India does in a decade," says Ram Shriram, an angel investor and early backer of search engine Google. He has invested mainly in India, but China is grabbing his attention. "It makes the industrial revolution look lame in contrast," he says.

An Insatiable Appetite for Technology

You can understand the enthusiasm. According to the Ministry of Information, China's internet users are estimated to grow to 111 million this year, from 81 million in 2003. With 1.3 billion people, that is only 8.5% of the population. The United States has 300 million people, approximately 60% of which are on the internet. If China internet usage grows to 20%, there will be as many people on the Internet in China as the entire population of the United States.

While the internet potential is staggering even for the few companies that dominate that space in China, the number of mobile phone users is even more impressive. Current statistics show approximately 260 million mobile phones in use and billions of text messages (SMS -- short message service and MMS -- multimedia messaging) sent every month. As availability increases, these numbers will hit staggering proportions.

The Convergence - Mobile Phones and the Internet

Within the last two years, the mobile internet market has grown from 200 million to more than half of the 1.3 billion mobile phones used worldwide -- a revolution some are comparing to the switch from the electric telegraph to the telephone in the last quarter of the 19th century.

According to industry experts, the number of internet-connected mobile phones will soon exceed by a large margin, the number of internet-connected PCs. Analysts estimate the worldwide number of active PCs to be between 500 million and 750 million, well short of that 1.3 billion cell phone figure -- and the gap is going to grow, particularly in places like China, where generations may skip the PC altogether and move directly to smaller mobile units of one type or another.

China based Sina Corp ($1.7 billion market cap) recently announced that its net profit rose 24% in the third quarter because of higher revenue from its new value-added mobile services (revenue in total jumped 65% to $52 million). The Chinese have an estimated 250 million mobile phones in use and unlike North Americans, send Billions of text/instant messages (SMS and MMS) every month. Their dependence upon the mobile phone is equivalent to our dependence upon the computer and it is estimated 30 million new users will arrive every year.

In July 2004, SINA acquired (for approximately $36 million U.S.) a private company with an instant messaging technology platform that was only launched in 2002. Within 2 years that company obtained 80 million registered user accounts. As these China internet companies continue to be acquired by North American corporations (in 2003 it was estimated that Yahoo paid $120 million for 3721 Inter China Network Software), it will drive up the value of those that remain.

Snapshot View of TCOM

The company trades on the OTCBB (OTCBB: TCOM) in the U.S. but only to accommodate the raising of capital and provide liquidity for existing shareholders (see Taikang below). Otherwise this is a pure play on a Chinese based technology company. All management is in China and all clients (at this time) are in China. TCOM specializes in technology for mobile phone applications with an emphasis on short messaging (both text SMS and multimedia MMS). They cover all aspects of the technology and even provide corporations they partner with a call center to support their clients. Their business partners already include some of the largest internet and mobile phone companies in China -- Shanghai Linktone, 5Wan, Tencent, and 3721 (div. of Yahoo). In only a few months of establishing these relationships, TCOM acquired 6 million subscribers for its services.

This is only one aspect of their technologies but the SMS/MMS solution for corporations offers advanced internet, wireless capabilities without the need to install expensive hardware at the customer location. Each user gets a unique code number and an associated web page to manage incoming and outgoing short messages, multimedia messages, phone calls, voice mails and emails with one common interface. The service also allows simple, rapid administration of a company's telecom services, including adding new customers and moving telephone number locations online (VoIP) without the cost of a telecom support department.

End users can consolidate their multiple phone numbers (home, office, mobile) with a single personal telephone number so callers reach them wherever they are. A personal virtual SMS/MMS number handles all incoming faxes. The unified visual mailbox conveniently manages voicemail and faxes just like e- mail. Robust call logs and integration with Microsoft Windows Media Player and Instant Message allow users to make and auto reply questions with just a mouse click.

The Importance of SEO4Mobile (Search Engine Optimization for mobile

phones)

SEO4Mobile appears to be the first service of it's kind offered anywhere for mobile phones. It is very important as most of you may remember that the major search engines in North America (Yahoo and Google for example) could not develop a money making business model until pay per click advertising came along (pioneered by Overture who were bought out by Yahoo for $1.6 billion). Now the major search engines are reporting enormous profits on explosive revenue.

SEO4Mobile offers wireless mobile phone providers the ability to use a short message service (SMS) search feature. Users who enter a relevant keyword or keyword phrase, along with a geographic identifier, can send searches in via an SMS and receive a multimedia response that has been processed through a search engine on the internet. By specifically laying out a separate search SMS for the geographic portion, SEO4Mobile helps structure the search in a simple and efficient way for the searcher.

SEO4Mobile will then parse out its advertiser keyword ads that have a local identifier as it sends them to its distribution partners, thereby returning very targeted results for mobile searches. This augments TCOM's recently announced pay-per-SMS service, as pay-per-search advertisers choose the region in which they wish their advertisements to be displayed.

Pay per click advertising for the search engines has become a multi- billion dollar business and when you consider the importance, and enormous size, of the mobile phone market in China, this technology has the potential to hold tremendous value. Sales in Yahoo's advertising business more than tripled to $765 million, due its acquisition last year of Overture. While the market in China still has a long ways to reach that point, iResearch estimated the country's search market will be worth an estimated $50 million this year and it is expected to grow to $200 million by 2006.

On October 7th it was announced that TCOM's subsidiary Alpha Century Holdings Limited, was applying for multi-country patents on the SEO4Mobile technology. If it is as unique as it appears, and patents can be locked up, the potential market on a global basis is enormous.

The October 22nd addition of AdMaxB2Search

In another important technology launch, the company released an advertiser maximum bid listing system for mobile phone service providers (very similar to what overture developed for it pay per click advertisers on the search engines in North America). AdMaxB2Search was developed specifically for small to mid- sized businesses who want to add valuable advertising content to SEO4Mobile quickly and simply, without impacting their design or operation. Through a step-by-step, wizard-driven set up, TCOM's advertisers and their partners can easily manage their accounts online. Revenue will be shared between TCOM and the advertisers on a pay per click basis. Advertisers who use the service will be given access to SEO4Mobile's 10 million users and 300 service providers.

Basically this is an Overture scenario all over again but for the mobile phone market. With 1.3 billion worldwide, the potential is incredible -- IF they can lock up patents globally. Either way, it has tremendous growth potential in China alone where the number of mobile phone users should reach 300 million by next year. TCOM will generate monthly fixed fees from advertise distributors and earn revenues on a per-search basis."

Rapid Growth Already and the Importance of Baidu

As mentioned above, Baidu is the leading search engine in China and apparently preferred more than 2:1 over Google. Google owns a minority position in Baidu but that stake is being carefully controlled. On October 26th, TCOM's other subsidiary IC Star MMS entered into a partnership agreement with Baidu. Under this partnership, the two companies will contribute equally to develop content and technology that integrates Baidu with SMS/MMS for the mobile phone market. Content such as entertainment and gaming and other new services will then be marketed through the Baidu portal which reaches 90% of the 100 million Chinese Internet users.

Recent media states that Baidu's sales are soaring in part from sponsored links similar to those offered by Google and Yahoo! Revenue apparently doubled in 2004 and is expected to double again in 2005. It wouldn't be surprising to see Baidu and TCOM working closer together on the SEO4Mobile technology as it would rapidly expand the Baidu market to the several hundred million mobile phone users in the country.

Other significant contracts in 2004 (most over the past couple months):

1) Providing customer care services for more than 3,000,000 clients of Taikang Life Insurance. Creates a fixed revenue of $120,000 monthly over 36 months

2) 2-year contract from Results Group Int'l Limited who serve the main betting entertainment clubs in Asia. Providing Results Group racing information, betting ticket care services for approximately 2 million mobile phone internet opt-in users. Revenue of $64,100 monthly over 24 months plus $6,410 monthly in support fees.

3) Provide services to the 1 million readers of Media Group's Hong Kong travel guide

4) 2-year contract from Valuerise Group using SEO4Mobile. Fixed revenue of $100,000 per month over a 24-month period, plus a percentage share of the revenue earned by Valuerise Group and its partners.

5) Signed a cooperation agreement with World-East Development Group to bundle SEO4Mobile with certain mobile phone handsets with free of charge service to customers for a limited time. World-East runs a large retail chain of mobile phone handset and accessories in China. They sell 950,000 units annually and have 400 outlets along with members of an alliance.

Even as a Pure Play on China, TCOM has fallen below Everyone's Radar (for

now)

When you're a small penny stock it's extremely difficult to attract attention (or buying) unless the media finds your story, or a news release grabs the attention of a large brokerage firm. Right now, one of the few ways to play the upcoming China tech boom is through the billion dollar companies mentioned above. Very few (legitimate) penny stocks are managed 100% from China, have 100% of their clients in China, and have large control blocks of their stock held by Chinese corporations. This in itself creates risks, but it's also the reason people pay $0.40 and not $40 at this stage. Often a person can buy a stock like this and hope that within a couple years it might be worth a couple dollars (or more). The same type of percentages on a $40 stock mean watching a share price go from $40 to $200 (very rare -- but not with penny stocks).

With TCOM I've seen it bounce all over the map and the only way to properly speculate on a stock of this nature is to plan for the worst and hope for the best. A person needs patience of 12 to 18 months and the ability to risk losing half your money (or more). All kinds of scenarios beyond your control could have a negative impact on this stock (foreign policy, poor management, market corrections, etc.) and you should never speculate without assuming that problems can, and often will, occur. In assuming this risk, you do so with the "hope" that the greater risk means greater rewards. With the underlying fundamentals of both the company and China itself, there are tremendous growth opportunities here. IF the company is able to fully capitalize on them, the share price will reflect it.

On October 20th, the company did something very smart and announced that an Asian based company would handle Investor Relations for TCOM and promote the story across China and other parts of Asia. They would hold conferences on how Chinese can buy a stock like TCOM, and provide guidebooks and a hotline. This is the first time I have seen this done and as many of you know, the Asian people can be huge risk takers (you only need to visit the tables in Vegas to recognize this). As the Chinese economy continues to boom, more and more locals will be looking for places to invest their money and strong local stories have the potential to attract significant capital.

There are times when this stock provides tremendous liquidity, and other times when it won't trade at all. You have to time purchases very carefully and always remember that some OTC market makers can be ruthless and manipulative. Never buy or sell these stocks using market orders and be prepared for a possible roller coaster. This is a story that appears to have tremendous potential but its share structure could make it subject to extreme volatility at times.

TCOM Releases Letter to Shareholders on Forecasted 970% Revenue Growth to Profitable $15 Million in 2005 From 2004 Revenue of $1.4 Million
Tuesday July 5, 1:07 pm ET

HONG KONG, July 5 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Telecom Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TCOM - News) released a letter to shareholders today from Tim Chen, CEO of Telecom Communications Inc., providing an update to shareholders regarding the Company's progress toward its projected growth from $1.4 million in 2004 revenue to a profitable $15 million in 2005 revenue.


Dear Fellow Shareholders,

On behalf of Telecom Communications, I am pleased to confirm that the Company is on track to achieve our $15 million in profitable revenue goal for 2005. To achieve this goal, we have successfully optimized integration of our existing operations, increased the size of our average sales contracts and continued our joint venture new business development progress. We are meeting expectations in all three categories with the recently announced consolidation in progress of our integration union of telecom wireless value-added business as Alpha Century Total Solutions, Virtual Call Center Stations, SEO4Mobile and IBSv4.1 SME software business, a sales pipeline totaling over $10 million in potential sales from less than 30 prospective contracts and 3G Dynasty, an integration union of our Internet Content Service operations, as multimedia entertainment content on WAP and Web base membership fee a pipeline with over $7 million in annual revenue.

TCOM's business is a Total Solutions Provider that offers Integrated Communications Network Solutions and Internet Content Service in universal voice, video, data web and mobile communications for interactive media applications, technology and content leaders in interactive multimedia communications. It develops, markets and sells a universal media software solution for enterprise-wide deployment of integrated voice, video, data web and mobile communications and media applications. Our growth strategy is to continue developing new service and products on our solid foundation of network, content and technologies to serve existing customers and the largest consumer market in the world.

Following the major success of Alpha's Total Solutions Provider business model, Our 3G Dynasty's excellent business model that is offers strategic intermediary services to entertainment, game developers and telecom carriers to a market serving more than 300 million users has exciting progress begun on the end of March.

TCOM has continually worked to establish a system that can quickly and accurately respond to the market, as well as raise shareholder value by strengthening the development and competitiveness of each business. As part of this strategy, TCOM has been implementing the integration of development, production and sales of each business within the Company.

TCOM has determined that a huge positive impact will be realized from integrating the functions of the various contracted operations lines of business and that as a result, 3G Dynasty Inc. will become more competitive and synergies will be realized between its marketing, product development and sales organizations. It is also projected that as more resources of the Company are built up, the strategic alliance structured, the overall efficiency of Company management will improve, providing even greater shareholder value.

Management does not consider the lack of market capitalization improvement cause for concern at this stage. The Company is growing rapidly and still forecasting dramatic growth in both revenue and profitability. Management anticipates that the market will require a substantial demonstration of progress toward the forecasted growth before the market capitalization will begin to reflect the intrinsic value of TCOM's business. As the Company continues to close on elements of the Total Solution Provider and Internet Contents Service, management expects the equity market will recognize the likelihood that the forecasted $15 million in profitable 2005 revenue is obtainable resulting in an increased market capitalization.

We encourage shareholders and interested investors to learn more about the Company, its business plan and corporate progress. The Company's press release archives provide more detail on the Company's business model and the many initiatives launched to accelerate and expand the business model. We expect our progress to soundly demonstrate the achievability of our forecasted goals and overcome the apparent market doubt reflected in our current share price.

The planning for the integration of TCOM' s total solutions provider-information manager system, SMS/MMS virtual call center CRM systems, SEO4Mobile, SME's software developing and distribution operations is continuing and is expected to be completed this summer. The Company is also in the process of planning a spin-off of the total solutions provider subsidiaries to an IPO, becoming an independently public traded company that will include a dividend distribution of subsidiary stock to all TCOM shareholders. Details will be provided as plan is finalized.

Please do not hesitate to contact the Company at ir@tcom8266.com or 852-2782-0983 to receive more information or to find out about one of the upcoming investor presentations by management.

Sincerely,
Tim T. Chen
CEO and President
