An explanation of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures is included in the section entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below, and the related reconciliations to GAAP financial measures are presented in the accompanying financial statements. (2) "Revenue students" refers to students of university online degree programs who have paid tuition in the applicable period. "We are pleased to report healthy enrollment and revenue growth for the 2009 spring semester," said Ms. Julia Huang, ChinaEdu's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In the second quarter of 2009, we strived for strong revenue growth from our learning centers and continued to expand our learning center network. In addition, we are pleased to report continued progress in signing additional university partners for our online degree programs, including collaborative alliance agreements with provincial radio and television universities. Our 101 online tutoring program continued to improve with new and updated courseware, stronger sales channels and improved customer services. In addition, we have continued to invest in courseware development, technology upgrade and the learning platform for both online degree and non- degree programs, which we believe will position us for continued future growth. Although there was a decline in gross profit, operating income and net income in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008, the Company's margins for EBITDA, adjusted operating income and net income remained stable in the first half of 2009 relative to the first half of 2008, which we believe reflects improvements in the Company's operations given the expansion of the learning centers network and investments in other businesses." Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2009 Net Revenue Total net revenue for the second quarter of 2009 was RMB88.2 million ($12.9 million), representing an 11.0% increase from the corresponding period in 2008. Net revenue from online degree programs for the second quarter of 2009 was RMB71.4 million ($10.5 million), representing a 9.7% increase from RMB65.1 million for the corresponding period in 2008. The growth in net revenue was primarily due to strong enrollment growth for the Spring semester of 2009, which registered over 147,000 revenue students compared to 125,000 revenue students for the Spring semester of 2008. Net revenue from the Company's non-online degree programs (online tutoring program, international curriculum programs and private primary and secondary schools) for the second quarter of 2009 was RMB16.8 million ($2.5 million), representing a 17.2% increase from RMB14.4 million for the corresponding period in 2008. This increase was attributable to the increase in student enrollment at Anqing School for the academic year beginning in September 2008 as a result of the completion of Phase I of the new campus construction as well as a slight increase in net revenue for the 101 online tutoring programs. Cost of revenue Total cost of revenue for the second quarter of 2009 was RMB33.2 million ($4.9 million), representing an increase of 42.0% as compared to RMB23.4 million for the corresponding period of 2008. Cost of revenue for online degree programs for the second quarter of 2009 was RMB22.5 million ($3.3 million), representing an increase of 67.4% as compared to RMB13.5 million for the second quarter of 2008. In addition to increase in cost of revenue corresponding to enrollment growth, the increase in cost of revenue for online degree programs was attributable primarily to (i) enrollment growth in our university partners' online degree programs in the Spring semester of 2009 compared to the Spring semester of 2008, (ii) courseware development for selected university partners at our collaborative alliances(3) and (iii) the expansion of our learning center network. Since most of the recruiting services performed by our learning centers to our university partners are recorded as cost of revenue, our total cost of revenue will continue to increase as we continue the expansion of the learning centers network. We had 56 operational learning centers by the second quarter of 2009, of which 21 were proprietary and 35 were contracted locations, compared to 22 operational learning centers as of the end of the second quarter of 2008. Cost of revenue for non-online degree programs for the second quarter of 2009 was RMB10.7 million ($1.6 million), representing a 7.5% increase from RMB9.9 million for the corresponding period in 2008. This increase was attributable primarily to increased cost of revenue related to Anqing School's new campus and 101 online tutoring program's investment in YoYo Bear education products, which were partially offset by a decrease in cost of revenue for the international curriculum programs. (3) "Collaborative alliance" or "Collaborative alliances" refer to the subsidiary or subsidiaries that the Company formed with certain university partners to provide services to their online degree programs, which subsidiaries are majority owned by the Company. Gross Profit and Gross Margin Gross profit for the second quarter of 2009 was RMB55.1 million ($8.1 million), representing a 1.9% decrease from RMB56.1 million for the corresponding period of 2008, as a result of the increase in cost of revenue, as discussed above. Total gross margin for the second quarter of 2009 was 62.4% as compared to 70.6% for the corresponding period of 2008. Since most of the recruiting services performed by our learning centers to our university partners are recorded as cost of revenue, our gross margin for the online degree programs segment decreased as a result of our continuous efforts in expanding the learning center network. Furthermore, gross margin for Anqing School and 101 online tutoring programs were negatively impacted by our investment in Anqing School's new campus and investment in YoYo Bear products, respectively, each of which are still in the early stages of development and thus are currently producing less income than expenses associated with such investments. Operating Expenses Total operating expenses were RMB33.1 million ($4.8 million) for the second quarter of 2009, representing a 5.7% increase from RMB31.3 million for the corresponding period in 2008. This increase was attributable primarily to increases in general and administrative and research and development expenses, partially offset by a decrease in selling and marketing expenses, each as discussed below. -- General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2009 were RMB19.7 million ($2.9 million), which represented a 7.1% increase from RMB18.4 million for the corresponding period of 2008. This increase was attributable primarily to an increase in performance-based employee compensation. -- Selling and marketing expenses were RMB5.4 million ($0.8 million) for the second quarter of 2009, which represented a 22.6% decrease from RMB7.0 million for the corresponding period in 2008. This decrease is attributable primarily to a decrease in the amount spent on general advertising and promotional activities for our own learning center operations in the second quarter in 2009. -- Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2009 were RMB7.9 million ($1.2 million), representing a 35.2% increase from RMB5.8 million for the corresponding period in 2008. This increase was attributable primarily to increased technological support and platform upgrades for certain collaborative alliances in order to further enhance our online degree programs. -- Share-based compensation for the second quarter of 2009, which was allocated to the related cost and operating expense line items, was RMB2.1 million ($0.3 million) as compared to RMB1.7 million for the corresponding period in 2008. The increase was attributable primarily to costs related to the repricing of options (as previously approved by our shareholders) during the current quarter, which resulted in the recognition of incremental compensation costs. Income from Operations As a result of the factors discussed above, income from operations for the second quarter of 2009 was RMB22.0 million ($3.2 million), which decreased by 11.4% from RMB24.9 million for the corresponding period of 2008. Adjusted income from operations, which is a non-GAAP measure defined as income from operations excluding share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and land use rights and goodwill and intangibles impairment charges, if applicable, was RMB25.5 million ($3.7 million) for the second quarter of 2009, which decreased by 11.8% as compared to RMB28.9 million in the corresponding period of 2008. The decrease was attributable primarily to the increase in cost of revenue as discussed above. Interest Income Interest income was RMB1.2 million ($0.2 million) in the second quarter of 2009, as compared to RMB2.6 million in the corresponding quarter of 2008. This decrease was attributable primarily to (i) reduced interest-bearing cash and bank deposit balance of RMB311 million as of June 30, 2009, compared to RMB434 million as of June 30, 2008, and (ii) a lower interest rate for the second quarter of 2009 compared to the corresponding period of 2008. Income Tax Expense Income tax income for the second quarter was RMB6.3 million ($0.9 million), as compared to income tax expense of RMB9.4 million for the corresponding period in 2008. This was attributable primarily to the fact that, in the fourth quarter of 2008, seven of our subsidiaries and affiliate companies applied and qualified for the "new and high technology enterprises" status under the new Chinese Enterprise Income Tax Regulation, which came into effect on January 1, 2008. As a result of their qualification for the "new and high technology enterprises" status, these subsidiaries received certain tax exemptions and a preferential statutory tax rate of 15%, thereby reducing the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2009 to 26.3% as compared to 34.9% for the corresponding period in 2008. Noncontrolling Interest Noncontrolling interest was RMB8.7 million ($1.3 million) in the second quarter of 2009, representing a 3.5% increase from RMB8.4 million in the corresponding period in 2008, which was attributable primarily to increased profitability of our collaborative alliances related to the online degree programs. Net Income (loss) attributable to ChinaEdu Corporation Net income attributable to ChinaEdu Corporation, which is net income excluding net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, was RMB8.9 million ($1.3 million) for the second quarter of 2009, representing a decrease of 3.6% from net income attributable to ChinaEdu Corporation of RMB9.2 million for the corresponding period in 2008. Adjusted net income attributable to ChinaEdu Corporation (non-GAAP) decreased by 6.6% to RMB12.1 million ($1.8 million) for the second quarter of 2009, as compared to RMB13.0 million in the corresponding period of 2008. The decrease in both net income and adjusted net income attributable to ChinaEdu Corporation (non-GAAP) was primarily due to the increase in cost of revenue in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the corresponding period in 2008. Due to a reduction in the number of basic and diluted shares outstanding for the second quarter of 2009 compared to the corresponding period in 2008 as a result of the Company's stock repurchase in the first quarter of 2009, basic and diluted EPS were RMB0.18 ($0.027) and RMB0.17 ($0.025), respectively, for the second quarter of 2009, compared to RMB0.16 and RMB0.15, respectively, for the second quarter of 2008. Similarly, basic and diluted adjusted EPS (non- GAAP) were RMB0.25 ($0.037) and RMB0.23 ($0.034), respectively, for the second quarter of 2009, compared to RMB0.22 and RMB0.21, respectively, for the second quarter of 2008. In addition, basic and diluted net income attributable to CEDU per ADS were RMB0.54 ($0.081) and RMB0.51 ($0.075), respectively, for the second quarter of 2009, compared to RMB0.48 and RMB0.45, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2008. Similarly, basic and diluted adjusted net income attributable to CEDU per ADS were RMB0.75 ($0.111) and RMB0.69 ($0.102), respectively, for the second quarter of 2009, compared to RMB0.66 and RMB0.63, respectively, for the corresponding period in 2008. Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was RMB29.5 million ($4.3 million) for the second quarter of 2009, which decreased by 7.3% as compared to RMB31.8 million for the corresponding period in 2008. This decrease was attributable primarily to the increase in cost of revenue, as discussed above. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue at the end of the second quarter of 2009 was RMB101.5 million ($14.9 million), with current deferred revenue of RMB95.3 million ($14.0 million) and non-current deferred revenue of RMB6.2 million ($0.9 million). Deferred revenue at the end of the second quarter of 2009 increased significantly compared to deferred revenue of RMB36.5 million at the end of the first quarter 2009 due to the seasonality of enrollments, which results in tuition being received generally during the second quarter (spring semester) and the fourth quarter (fall semester) of each year. Cash and Cash Equivalents As of June 30, 2009, ChinaEdu reported cash and cash equivalents of RMB231.1 million ($33.8 million), which primarily consisted of cash-on-hand, demand deposits and term deposits with maturity periods of three months or less. Term Deposits and Amount Due from Related Parties Term deposits and the amount due from related parties (which represents cash owed to us by our collaborative alliance partners) amounted to RMB79.5 million ($11.6 million) and RMB225.7 million ($33.0 million), respectively, on June 30, 2009. 2009 Year-to-Date Financial Results Net Revenue For the six months ended June 30, 2009, total net revenue was RMB169.4 million ($24.8 million), representing an increase of 13.6% from RMB149.2 million for the corresponding period in 2008. Total net revenue for the sixth months ended June 30, 2009 consisted of RMB137.2 million ($20.1 million) in net revenue from online degree programs and RMB32.3 million ($4.7 million) in net revenue from non-online degree programs. The growth in total net revenue was attributable primarily to strong enrollment growth for the online degree programs and growth in net revenue at Anqing School and 101 online tutoring programs. Cost of Revenue For the first six months of 2009, total cost of revenue was RMB65.8 million ($9.6 million), representing an increase of 38.4% as compared to RMB47.5 million for the corresponding period in 2008, which increase was primarily due to the expansion of our learning centers network, courseware development for selected university partners at our collaborative alliances, and the increase in cost of revenue at Anqing School and 101 online tutoring programs. Gross Profit Gross profit for the first six months of 2009 was RMB103.7 million ($15.2 million) as compared with RMB101.6 million for the corresponding period in 2008, representing an increase of 2.0%. Income from Operations Income from operations were RMB39.6 million ($5.8 million) for the first six months of 2009, representing an increase of 5.0% from RMB37.7 million for the first six months of 2008. Net Income (loss) attributable to ChinaEdu Corporation Net income attributable to ChinaEdu Corporation was RMB18.4 million ($2.7 million) for the first six months of 2009, representing an increase of 63.4% compared with RMB11.3 million for the corresponding period in 2008, primarily due to an increase in income from operations, as well as a decrease in income tax expenses compared to the corresponding period in 2008. Third Quarter 2009 Total Net Revenue Guidance For the third quarter of 2009, ChinaEdu expects its total net revenue to be in the range of RMB84 million ($12 million) to RMB88 million ($13 million). This forecast reflects ChinaEdu's current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information presented in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company uses non-GAAP measures of income from operations and net income attributable to ChinaEdu Corporation, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain non-cash items of share-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets and land use rights and goodwill and intangibles impairment charges, if applicable. The Company also uses adjusted EBITDA, which is also a non-GAAP measure and is adjusted from GAAP results of net income to exclude interest income, taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and land use rights, share- based compensation and goodwill and intangibles impairment charges, if applicable. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance the investors' overall understanding of the Company's current and past financial performance in on-going core operations as well as prospects for the future. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Management considers the non-GAAP information as important measures internally and therefore deems it important to provide all of this information to investors.
