Commenting on the results, Mr. Zhengdong Zhu, CDEL Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, “We are pleased to report another quarter of top-line growth exceeding our guidance, supported by a steady increase in our core online education services net revenues. We are also pleased to see our non-GAAP net income for the third quarter increased year-over-year. These prove again that we are delivering on our commitment to execute our top- and bottom-line growth strategy.”

“We have maintained a consistent focus throughout 2011 on the execution of our strategy to provide high quality comprehensive, life-long online learning programs. This has included continued investments in our online learning platform, consistent focus on the quality of our courses and services, and extensive marketing and advertising campaigns to further strengthen our brand name. This investment in our growth has helped to bolster our reputation as a high quality, results oriented education services provider, supporting enrollment growth and allowing us to raise prices in our core online test preparation courses. We will continue to execute our balanced growth strategy, focusing on delivering quality courses and services, promoting our brand awareness, and seeking to delivering healthy top and bottom line growth for years to come.”

Ms. Ping Wei, Chief Financial Officer of CDEL, commented, “We continue to strive for a balanced growth approach despite a generally inflationary environment, investing prudently in growth initiatives while maintaining tight cost control. The selective investments we have made, coupled with payroll inflation, resulted in heightened marketing and payroll related cost and expenses this quarter. However, our tight control over other expenses helped partially offset the impact. We believe such investments are necessary for the long-term health of our business and will eventually pay off.”

Fiscal Third Quarter 2011 Unaudited Financial Results

Net Revenues. Total net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were US$12.7 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 22.7% from US$10.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

Online education services net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were US$8.9 million, an increase of 42.0% from the third quarter of fiscal 2010. This increase was a result of increased revenue from Accounting Professional Qualification Examinations (“APQE”), CPA Examinations, accounting certificate exams, accounting continuous education, healthcare, and construction engineering courses.

Net revenue from books and reference materials decreased by 25.1% to US$1.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 from that of the same period fiscal year 2010. The decrease was mainly caused by a change in the approach to allocating price between study cards and books for certain bundled sales, which is for revenue presentation purposes only. Excluding the effect of the allocation of US$0.4 million book revenue to online revenue, net revenue from books and reference materials would have increased by 8.3% to US$1.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

Other revenues increased 1.2% to US$2.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase was a result of increased revenue in offline business start-up training courses provided by Zhengbao Yucai, in-person courses for the “Big Four” accounting firms, and primary and secondary school supplementary courses. Such increase was partially offset by the decrease in revenues from courseware production services.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was US$5.4 million, representing a 23.9% increase over the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Excluding share-based compensation (non-GAAP1), cost of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was US$5.0 million, an increase of 27.8% over the same period last year. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to increased salary and related expenses, lecturer fees and cost of our books and reference materials due to the increase in sales.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was US$7.3 million, representing a 21.8% increase from US$6.0 million in the same period last year. Excluding share-based compensation, non-GAAP1 gross profit was US$7.7 million, an increase of 19.5% year-over-year. Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was 57.6%, compared to 58.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Excluding share-based compensation, the non-GAAP1 gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was 60.5%, compared to 62.1% in the same period of 2010. The decrease in non-GAAP1 gross margin was primarily a result of increased lecturer fees.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were US$7.0 million, an increase of 42.4% year-over-year and an increase of 54.2% from the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Excluding share-based compensation and the write off of purchased call option for acquisition of additional equity interest in Zhengbao Yucai, non-GAAP1 operating expenses were US$5.3 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 23.6% and a sequential increase of 32.9% over the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Selling expenses amounted to US$3.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, representing a 56.8% increase year-over-year and a 58.8% increase from the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Excluding share-based compensation (non-GAAP1), selling expenses were US$3.0 million, a 61.6% increase from the same period last year and a 60.9% increase from the second quarter of fiscal 2011 as a result of increased advertising and promotional activities, salary and related expenses and commissions to our agents due to the increase in sales.

General and administrative expenses were US$2.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, representing a 5.5% year-over-year decrease and a 7.4% increase from the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Excluding share-based compensation (non-GAAP1), general and administrative expenses were US$2.3 million, a decrease of 5.8% year-over-year and an increase of 8.2% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The decrease in general and administrative expenses year-over-year was primarily due to decreased bad debt provision for outstanding receivables according to our accounting policy. Such decrease was partially offset by increased salary and related expenses and professional fees.

Income Tax Expenses. Income tax expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was US$0.2 million, compared with income tax expenses of US$0.3 million in the same period last year.

Net Income. Net income was US$0.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to net income of US$1.3 million in the same period of 2010. Excluding share-based compensation and the US$0.8 million write-off of purchased call option for acquisition of additional equity interest in Zhengbao Yucai, non-GAAP1 net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was US$2.7 million, compared to non-GAAP1 net income of US$2.4 million in the corresponding quarter in 2010.

Operating Cash Flow. Net operating cash inflow for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was US$0.8 million, compared to a net operating cash inflow of US$1.8 million in the same period last year. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to the increase in non-cash working capital in fiscal 2011, primarily resulted from higher increase in accounts receivable balance partially offset by lower decrease in deferred revenue balance. Such decrease was partially offset by the increased contribution of net income before non-cash items in 2011.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Term Deposit and Restricted Cash. Cash and cash equivalents, term deposit and restricted cash as of June 30, 2011 was US$58.6 million, compared to US$63.9 million as of March 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of US$5.5 million worth of our shares as part of our share repurchase program, partially offset by our cash inflow from operations.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2011 Guidance — The Company expects to generate total net revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 in the range of US$12.7 million to US$13.3 million, as compared to net revenues of US$11.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. This represents our current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP net income, operating income, gross profit, cost of sales, selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, net income margin, operating margin, gross profit margin and basic and diluted earnings per ADS and per share. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to comparable GAAP measures” set forth at the end of this release.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance and liquidity by excluding share-based compensation expenses and the write off of purchased call option for acquisition of additional equity interest in Zhengbao Yucai that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical performance and liquidity. The Company computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A limitation of excluding share-based compensation expenses and the write off of purchased call option for acquisition of additional equity interest in Zhengbao Yucai from the above-mentioned line items and presenting these non-GAAP measures is that such charges may continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying table at the end of this release provides more detail on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
