Exhibit 1.2

KongZhong Corporation Revises Expectations for its Third Quarter 2004 Results

Beijing, China, October 27, 2004 — KongZhong Corporation (Nasdaq : KONG), a leading provider of advanced second generation (2.5G) wireless value-added services in China, today announced revised guidance for its financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2004.

The Company expects third-quarter revenues to be approximately US$12.0 — 12.3 million. This compares to the previously provided guidance of 10-20% revenue growth over the $11.97 million in revenues that were reported for the second quarter ending June 30, 2004. For the third quarter, the Company estimates that revenues from 2.5G services will represent approximately 85% of total revenues and revenues from 2G services will represent the remaining 15%. This compares to 80% and 20%, respectively, in the second quarter. The Company attributes the revised revenue expectation to several factors, including the roll-out of a new service management platform (MISC) by mobile operators and increased competition.

Additionally, the Company anticipates expenses to be higher, primarily because of higher cellphone manufacturer fees and an increase in product development costs. As a result, the Company anticipates its third quarter net income to be approximately $5.0 — 5.3 million. This compares with the $5.3 million net income reported for the second quarter.

KongZhong plans to release its third-quarter results before the US financial markets open on November 12, 2004. The Company’s management team will conduct a conference call at 11:00 pm Beijing time (10:00 am Eastern time and 7:00 am Pacific time) on November 12. A webcast of this conference call will be available on the Company’s web site at http://ir.kongzhong.com/overview.htm.
