Open branch offices in key
cities. Even though our website is accessible from anywhere in the PRC,
course materials are not standardized throughout the PRC, and there are
many differences in both the course materials and the resources among the
different regions in the PRC. As a result, we believe that we can best
serve the students in a region by using our branch offices to employ local
teachers who understand the local educational system. In this manner, we
can customize our course materials to meet the local educational
requirements and develop face-to-face tutorial centers to further expand
our revenue.

Effective
for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, the FASB
Accounting Standards CodificationTM (the
“Codification” or “ASC”) is the single source of authoritative literature
of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The
Codification consolidates all authoritative accounting literature into one
internet-based research tool, which supersedes all pre-existing accounting
and reporting standards, excluding separate rules and other interpretive
guidance released by the SEC. New accounting guidance is now issued in the
form of Accounting Standards Updates, which update the Codification. The
Company adopted the Codification in the period ending September 30, 2009.
The adoption of Codification did not result in any change the Company’s
significant accounting policies.

In
May 2009 the FASB issued standards that establish general standards of
accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance
sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to
be issued. These standards require the disclosure of the date through
which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that
date, that is, whether the date represents the date the financial
statements were issued or were available to be issued. This standard was
effective in the first interim period ending after June 15, 2009. The
Company expects this standard to have an impact on disclosures in their
consolidated financial statements, but the nature and magnitude of the
specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and value of the any
subsequent events occurring after
adoption.

|
In
June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which eliminates the
exemption for qualifying special-purpose entities from consolidation
requirements, contains new criteria for determining the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity, and increases the frequency of
required reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The guidance is applicable for
annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and interim periods
therein and thereafter. The Company does not expect the adoption of this
standard to have a material effect on its financial position or results of
operations.

In
June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which eliminates the
concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, creates more stringent
conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a
sale, clarifies other sale-accounting criteria, and changes the initial
measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets.
The guidance is applicable for annual periods beginning after November 15,
2009 and interim periods therein and thereafter. The Company does not
expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its
financial position or results of
operations.

EITF
Issue No. 07-5 (ASC 815), “Determining Whether an Instrument (or embedded
Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (EITF 07-5) was issued in
June 2008 to clarify how to determine whether certain instruments or
features were indexed to an entity’s own stock under EITF Issue No. 01-6
(ASC 815), “The Meaning of “Indexed to a Company’s Own Stock” (EITF 01-6)
(ASC 815),. EITF 07-5(ASC 815), applies to any freestanding financial
instrument (or embedded feature) that has all of the characteristics of a
derivative as defined in FAS 133, for purposes of determining whether that
instrument (or embedded feature) qualifies for the first part of the
paragraph 11(a) scope exception. It is also applicable to any freestanding
financial instrument (e.g., gross physically settled warrants) that is
potentially settled in an entity’s own stock, regardless of whether it has
all of the characteristics of a derivative as defined in FAS 133 (ASC
815), for purposes of determining whether to apply EITF 00-19 (ASC 815).
EITF 07-5(ASC 815) does not apply to share-based payment awards within the
scope of FAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123(R) (ASC 718)). However,
an equity-linked financial instrument issued to investors to establish a
market-based measure of the fair value of employee stock options is not
within the scope of FAS 123(R) and therefore is subject to EITF 07-5(ASC
815).

In
January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1 (ASC 325), to amend
the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20 (ASC 325) in order to
achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary
impairment (“OTTI”) has occurred. This FSP amended EITF 99-20 (ASC
325) to more closely align the OTTI guidance therein to the guidance in
Statement No. 115 (ASC 320, 10-35-31). Retrospective application to a
prior interim or annual period is prohibited. The guidance in this FSP was
considered in the assessment of OTTI for various securities at
December 31, 2008.

On
June 5, 2003, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)

In
August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-04 “Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments - Amendment to
Section 480-10-S99” which represents an update to section 480-10-S99,
distinguishing liabilities from equity, per EITF Topic D-98,
Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. The Company does
not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

In
August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-05 “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures Topic 820 – Measuring
Liabilities at Fair Value”, which provides amendments to subtopic 820-10,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value
measurement of liabilities. This update provides clarification that in
circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the
identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to
measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: 1. A
valuation technique that uses: a. The quoted price of the identical
liability when traded as an asset b. Quoted prices for similar liabilities
or similar liabilities when traded as assets. 2. Another valuation
technique that is consistent with the principles of topic 820; two
examples would be an income approach, such as a present value technique,
or a market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at
the measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the
identical liability or would receive to enter into the identical
liability. The amendments in this update also clarify that when estimating
the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to
include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the
existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability.
The amendments in this update also clarify that both a quoted price in an
active market for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an
active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are
required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The Company does not expect
the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-08 “Earnings Per Share – Amendments to Section 260-10-S99”,which
represents technical corrections to topic 260-10-S99, Earnings per share,
based on EITF Topic D-53, Computation of Earnings Per Share for a Period
that includes a Redemption or an Induced Conversion of a Portion of a
Class of Preferred Stock and EITF Topic D-42, The Effect of the
Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion
of Preferred Stock. The Company does not expect the adoption of this
update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash
flows.

In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-09 “Accounting for Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures and
Accounting for Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. This update
represents a correction to Section 323-10-S99-4, Accounting by an Investor
for Stock-Based Compensation Granted to Employees of an Equity Method
Investee. Additionally, it adds observer comment Accounting Recognition
for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other
Than Employees to the Codification. The Company does not expect the
adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash
flows.

In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-12 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 – Investment in
Certain Entities That Calculate Net Assets Value Per Share (or Its
Equivalent)”, which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures-Overall, for the fair value measurement of
investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share
(or its equivalent). The amendments in this update permit, as a practical
expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment
that is within the scope of the amendments in this update on the basis of
the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if the
net asset value of the investment (or its equivalent) is calculated in a
manner consistent with the measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the
reporting entity’s measurement date, including measurement of all or
substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in
accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this update also require
disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of
investments within the scope of the amendments in this update, such as the
nature of any restrictions on the investor’s ability to redeem its
investments at the measurement date, any unfunded commitments (for
example, a contractual commitment by the investor to invest a specified
amount of additional capital at a future date to fund investments that
will be made by the investee), and the investment strategies of the
investees. The major category of investment is required to be determined
on the basis of the nature and risks of the investment in a manner
consistent with the guidance for major security types in U.S. GAAP on
investments in debt and equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-1B. The
disclosures are required for all investments within the scope of the
amendments in this update regardless of whether the fair value of the
investment is measured using the practical expedient. The Company does not
expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

In
October 2009, the FASB issued guidance for amendments to FASB Emerging
Issues Task Force on EITF Issue No. 09-1 “Accounting for Own-Share
Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of a Convertible Debt Issuance or
Other Financing” (Subtopic 470-20) “Subtopic”. This accounting
standards update establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for
arrangements under which own-share lending arrangements issued in
contemplation of convertible debt issuance. This Statement is effective
for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning
on or after December 15, 2009. Earlier adoption is not permitted. The
Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

In
June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which eliminates the
concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, creates more stringent
conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a
sale, clarifies other sale-accounting criteria, and changes the initial
measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets.

In
August 2009, the FASB issued guidance on measuring liabilities at fair
value. This guidance amends the fair value measurements and disclosures by
providing additional guidance clarifying the measurement of liabilities at
fair value. This new accounting guidance is effective for reporting period
ending after December 15, 2009. The Company is evaluating this new
guidance and the possible impact that the adoption of this new accounting
guidance will have on their consolidated financial
statements.

Effective
for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, the FASB
Accounting Standards CodificationTM
(the “Codification” or “ASC”) is the single source of authoritative
literature of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The
Codification consolidates all authoritative accounting literature into one
internet-based research tool, which supersedes all pre-existing accounting
and reporting standards, excluding separate rules and other interpretive
guidance released by the SEC. New accounting guidance is now issued in the
form of Accounting Standards Updates, which update the Codification. The
Company adopted the Codification in the period ending September 30, 2009.
The adoption of Codification did not result in any change the Company’s
significant accounting policies.

In
May 2009 the FASB issued standards that establish general standards of
accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance
sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to
be issued. These standards require the disclosure of the date through
which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that
date, that is, whether the date represents the date the financial
statements were issued or were available to be issued. This standard was
effective in the first interim period ending after June 15, 2009. The
Company expects this standard to have an impact on disclosures in their
consolidated financial statements, but the nature and magnitude of the
specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and value of the any
subsequent events occurring after
adoption.

In
June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which eliminates the
exemption for qualifying special-purpose entities from consolidation
requirements, contains new criteria for determining the primary
beneficiary of a variable interest entity, and increases the frequency of

beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The guidance is applicable for
annual periods beginning after November 15, 2009 and interim periods

EITF
Issue No. 07-5 (ASC 815), “Determining Whether an Instrument (or embedded
Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (EITF 07-5) was issued in
June 2008 to clarify how to determine whether certain instruments or
features were indexed to an entity’s own stock under EITF Issue No. 01-6
(ASC 815), “The Meaning of “Indexed to a Company’s Own Stock” (EITF 01-6)
(ASC 815),. EITF 07-5(ASC 815), applies to any freestanding financial
instrument (or embedded feature) that has all of the characteristics of a
derivative as defined in FAS 133, for purposes of determining whether that
instrument (or embedded feature) qualifies for the first part of the
paragraph 11(a) scope exception. It is also applicable to any freestanding
financial instrument (e.g., gross physically settled warrants) that is
potentially settled in an entity’s own stock, regardless of whether it has
all of the characteristics of a derivative as defined in FAS 133 (ASC
815), for purposes of determining whether to apply EITF 00-19 (ASC 815).
EITF 07-5(ASC 815) does not apply to share-based payment awards within the
scope of FAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123(R) (ASC 718)). However,
an equity-linked financial instrument issued to investors to establish a
market-based measure of the fair value of employee stock options is not
within the scope of FAS 123(R) and therefore is subject to EITF 07-5(ASC
815).

In January 2009, the FASB
issued FSP EITF 99-20-1 (ASC 325), to amend the impairment guidance in
EITF Issue No. 99-20 (ASC 325) in order to achieve more consistent
determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment
(“OTTI”) has occurred. This FSP amended EITF 99-20 (ASC 325) to more
closely align the OTTI guidance therein to the guidance in Statement
No. 115 (ASC 320, 10-35-31). Retrospective application to a
prior interim or annual period is prohibited. The guidance in this FSP was
considered in the assessment of OTTI for various securities at
December 31, 2008.

In
August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-04 “Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments - Amendment to
Section 480-10-S99” which represents an update to section 480-10-S99,
distinguishing liabilities from equity, per EITF Topic D-98,
Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. The Company does
not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

In
August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-05 “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures Topic 820 – Measuring
Liabilities at Fair Value”, which provides amendments to subtopic 820-10,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value
measurement of liabilities. This update provides clarification that in
circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the
identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to
measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: 1. A
valuation technique that uses: a. The quoted price of the identical
liability when traded as an asset b. Quoted prices for similar liabilities
or similar liabilities when traded as assets. 2. Another valuation
technique that is consistent with the principles of topic 820; two
examples would be an income approach, such as a present value technique,
or a market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at
the measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the
identical liability or would receive to enter into the identical
liability. The amendments in this update also clarify that when estimating
the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to
include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the
existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability.
The amendments in this update also clarify that both a quoted price in an
active market for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an
active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are
required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The Company does not expect
the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-08 “Earnings Per Share – Amendments to Section 260-10-S99”,which
represents technical corrections to topic 260-10-S99, Earnings per share,
based on EITF Topic D-53, Computation of Earnings Per Share for a Period
that includes a Redemption or an Induced Conversion of a Portion of a
Class of Preferred Stock and EITF Topic D-42, The Effect of the
Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion
of Preferred Stock. The Company does not expect the adoption of this
update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash
flows.

In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-09 “Accounting for Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures and
Accounting for Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. This update
represents a correction to Section 323-10-S99-4, Accounting by an Investor
for Stock-Based Compensation Granted to Employees of an Equity Method
Investee. Additionally, it adds observer comment Accounting Recognition
for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other
Than Employees to the Codification. The Company does not expect the
adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash
flows.

In
September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2009-12 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 – Investment in
Certain Entities That Calculate Net Assets Value Per Share (or Its
Equivalent)”, which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures-Overall, for the fair value measurement of
investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share
(or its equivalent). The amendments in this update permit, as a practical
expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment
that is within the scope of the amendments in this update on the basis of
the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if the
net asset value of the investment (or its equivalent) is calculated in a
manner consistent with the measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the
reporting entity’s measurement date, including measurement of all or
substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in
accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this update also require
disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of
investments within the scope of the amendments in this update, such as the
nature of any restrictions on the investor’s ability to redeem its
investments at the measurement date, any unfunded commitments (for
example, a contractual commitment by the investor to invest a specified
amount of additional capital at a future date to fund investments that
will be made by the investee), and the investment strategies of the
investees. The major category of investment is required to be determined
on the basis of the nature and risks of the investment in a manner
consistent with the guidance for major security types in U.S. GAAP on
investments in debt and equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-1B. The
disclosures are required for all investments within the scope of the
amendments in this update regardless of whether the fair value of the
investment is measured using the practical expedient. The Company does not
expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

In
October 2009, the FASB issued guidance for amendments to FASB Emerging
Issues Task Force on EITF Issue No. 09-1 “Accounting for Own-Share
Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of a Convertible Debt Issuance or
Other Financing” (Subtopic 470-20) “Subtopic”. This accounting
standards update establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for
arrangements under which own-share lending arrangements issued in
contemplation of convertible debt issuance. This Statement is effective
for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning
on or after December 15, 2009. Earlier adoption is not permitted. The
Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
