Perfect World Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: PWRD) is leading the gainers list this morning.  With less than 25 minutes until the open we have seen some 300,000 shares trade hands and the gain is up 27.1% at $15.95.

The Chinese online game developer reported on Thursday that its revenues were up a sharp 32% on strong demand for its multiplayer role-playing game called Zhu Xian in China.  Net income was $41.3 million or $0.87 in converted terms and revenues were $123.4 million.

When we looked at the gain on Thursday evening the ADR was up around $14.68.  Now shares are up another $1.00 and the 52-week trading range is $8.44 to $29.10.

This begs a question… Are all of the accounting woes from China getting behind us?
