Revenue from wireless value-added services made up US$11.9 million of total revenue in the fourth quarter for a sequential increase of 4.2 percent. Recorded music revenue representing revenue from Hurray!-controlled companies Freeland Music, Huayi Brothers Music and Hurray! Secular Bird grew 117.8 percent quarter-on-quarter to $4.9 million. Hurray! expects first quarter 2008 total consolidated revenues between $13.5 million and $14.5 million.

Along with earnings, Hurray! announced that it has agreed with Enlight Media to terminate their merger agreement citing "a divergence in business strategies" and a realization that it "would not be in their mutual interests." The two companies announced their intended merger last November. Hurray also agreed with Shanghai Magma to reduce its final payment on an equity interest in the company from $6 million to $1 million on February 25, 2008.
