Audit Committee of Focus Media Reports
Results of First Display Count Survey

Focus Media Holding Limited (“Focus Media”) (Nasdaq: FMCN) today announced that its audit committee received the results of the first of two third-party, independent surveys on the number of displays in Focus Media’s LCD display network and its poster frame network. The survey was independently conducted by Ipsos Marketing Consulting Company (“Ipsos”) in December 2011. Ipsos is the world’s fifth largest market research company¹. To conduct the survey, Ipsos used a Stratified Random Sampling methodology. According to Ipsos, based on the Sampling Distribution Theory, the actual audited display counts can be projected to reflect the total number of Focus Media’s displays with a +/- 1% sampling error at a 99% confidence level.

The survey results from Ipsos show that the number of displays in Focus Media’s LCD display network and poster frame network were 185,249 and 436,444 respectively (see Appendix I). The table below sets forth a summary of the survey results.

The results of that study will be disclosed in a subsequent press release after the results become available.

In addition, the Audit Committee also reported that it has engaged Ipsos to conduct an additional study that will take a full-count census of the number of displays in Focus Media’s LCD display network in order to further verify the numbers of displays disclosed by Focus Media. The results of the census will be released as soon as the study is completed.

Ipsos Survey Results Summary

Focus Media’s Display Count for its LCD Display Network & Poster Frame Network Certified
with over 99.97% Accuracy

In December 2011, the Audit Committee of Focus Media Holding Limited commissioned Ipsos, an independent third-party research company, to conduct a survey of the number of displays in Focus Media’s LCD display network and poster frame network in order to check the accuracy of Focus Media’s display count data and the authenticity of Focus Media’s displays.

In this survey, Ipsos adopted the Stratified Random Sampling statistical technique in order to measure the actual number of displays in Focus Media’s LCD display network and poster frame network. Based on the Sampling Distribution Theory, the actual audited display counts can be projected to reflect the total number of Focus Media’s displays with a +/- 1% sampling error at a 99% confidence level.

In order to ensure the representativeness of the sample, various tiers of cities were selected from Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern and Central China. A proportional number of site locations and displays in these cities were selected for the survey based on the distribution of Focus Media’s displays nationwide. Random sampling was then used to select commercial and residential buildings in each city. A thorough count of all of Focus Media’s displays was undertaken in the sampled buildings.

The results of Ipsos’ survey of Focus Media’s displays are as follows£º
