Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2013

Net Revenue

Total net revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $22.9 million, a 21.9 percent increase from $18.7 million in the corresponding period of 2012. Excluding non-recurring revenue of $1.2 million, the result of certain technology services being provided to online degree programs, total net revenue increased by 16.1% to $21.7 million.

Net revenue from online degree programs for the second quarter of 2013 was $18.5 million, a 23.6 percent increase over $15.0 million in the corresponding period of 2012. The increase in net revenue from online degree programs was primarily due to organic growth in revenue students enrolled in online degree programs, and continued expansion and optimization of the Company's learning centers network. Enrollment for 2013 Spring semester online degree programs was approximately 221,000 revenue students, a 14.5 percent increase from approximately 193,000 revenue students enrolled in the Spring semester in 2012.

By the end of the second quarter of 2013, ChinaEdu's learning centers network was providing recruiting services for 23 universities with 125 operational learning centers, of which 61 were proprietary centers[6] and 64 were contracted centers[7]. This compares to 113 operational learning centers as of June 30, 2012, of which 55 were proprietary and 58 were contracted centers.

Net revenue from non-degree programs, including online tutoring programs, private primary and secondary schools and international curriculum programs in the second quarter of 2013 was $4.3 million, a 15.2 percent increase from $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2012. Of that, approximately $0.4 million was attributable to enrollment growth and increased tuition at our private school in Anqing.

[7]

Contracted centers refer to agreement with third party learning centers pursuant to which the Company only provides assistance applying for approval from provincial level education authorities as well as securing additional university online degree programs.

Cost of revenue for online degree programs in the second quarter of 2013 was $5.8 million, an increase of 15.4 percent compared to $5.1 million in the corresponding period of 2012. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily related to staff costs increasing by $0.3 million and service station fees increasing by $0.4 million.

Cost of revenue for non-degree programs in the second quarter of 2013 was $2.5 million, a decrease of 3.9 percent from $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2012.

Gross margin for online tutoring programs increased significantly to 67.0 percent from 57.7 percent in the second quarter of 2012, mainly due to increased net revenue as well as decreased lease and service costs.

Gross margin for private schools in the second quarter of 2013 increased to 30.4 percent, compared to 26.1 percent in the corresponding period of 2012. The increase in gross margin was primarily the result of increased net revenue at our Anqing school.
