       2009.

    -- Total revenues were $142.7 million for the first half of 2010, an

    "E-House achieved a performance during the second quarter that exceeded the guidance previously provided despite operating under a volatile and challenging market environment," said Mr. Xin Zhou, E-House's executive chairman. "As we indicated in our first quarter earnings release, government measures announced in April caused a sharp decline in volume in both new and secondary home sales. Although the overall transaction volume is still substantially lower than the period before the new government measures, we have seen gradual improvement from the lowest point in May. We believe that this improvement will continue for the remainder of this year as many new projects are scheduled to launch and more developers offer attractive prices to potential buyers."

    Mr. Zhou continued, "E-House will continue its strategy of turning the current market conditions to its advantage by signing new agency contracts to boost our project pipeline. We are confident that we will come out of the current market downturn with a stronger leadership position in the industry. Our information, consulting and online services under our subsidiary China Real Estate Information Corporation, or CRIC, continue to achieve solid growth. We are also taking new initiatives to broaden our market reach and service scope, which will enable us to widen our range of services and market coverage."

    Mr. Gordon Zang, E-House's acting chief executive officer, added, "In addition to signing new projects, we continued to focus on high quality execution for our clients during the second quarter.  Our efforts helped some of our leading clients, such as Evergrande and Star River, achieve remarkable sales performance. This shows our ability to add value to our clients even during challenging market conditions."

    Mr. Li-Lan Cheng, E-House's chief financial officer, commented, "The sudden and sharp drop in transaction volume in response to government tightening policies negatively impacted our operating and financial results for the second quarter. Our revenue guidance for the third quarter is based upon the assumption of a sequential increase in transaction volume, which reflects our expectation of continued, if gradual, market recovery. At the same time, our profit margin will continue to be under pressure in the near term as a result of lower average commission rate due to very limited amount of bonus commission realized in the current market conditions. We expect this impact to be mitigated once transaction volume starts to rebound more strongly and our average commission rate increases."

    Financial Results for the Second Quarter and First Half 2010

    Revenues

    Second quarter total revenues were $71.2 million, an increase of 12% from $63.5 million for the same quarter of 2009. For the first half of 2010, total revenues were $142.7 million, an increase of 48% from $96.3 million for the same period of 2009.

    Primary Real Estate Agency Services

    Second quarter revenues from primary real estate agency services were $31.9 million, a decrease of 23% from $41.2 million for the same quarter of 2009. This decrease was mainly due to a 20% decrease in total GFA of new properties sold, contributing to a 12% decrease in total transaction value of new properties sold, as a result of cooling-off measures by the government announced in April 2010; and an average commission rate of 1.2% in the second quarter of 2010, compared to 1.4% for the same quarter in 2009. (See "Selected Operating Data" below for more details on total GFA and total transaction value of new properties sold.) For the first half of 2010, revenues from primary real estate agency services were $74.3 million, an increase of 27% from $58.6 million for the same period of 2009. This increase was mainly due to a 31% increase in total transaction value of new properties sold.

    Secondary Real Estate Brokerage Services

    Second quarter revenues from secondary real estate brokerage services were $4.8 million, a decrease of 16% from $5.7 million for the same quarter of 2009. This decrease was mainly due to lower total secondary real estate transaction volume following the announcements of cooling-off measures by the government in April 2010. For the first half of 2010, revenues from secondary real estate brokerage services were $9.2 million, an increase of 5% from $8.7 million for the same period of 2009. As of June 30, 2010, E-House had a total of 131 secondary real estate brokerage stores in eight cities in China, compared to 113 stores in five cities in China as of June 30, 2009. 

    Revenues from China Real Estate Information Corporation ("CRIC") 

    CRIC, a subsidiary of E-House, provides real estate information, consulting and online services in China. Second quarter revenues from CRIC were $33.8 million, an increase of 107% from $16.3 million for the same quarter of 2009. Total revenues for the second quarter of 2010 included $14.3 million attributable to COHT, while the remaining revenues were $19.5 million, an increase of 20% from $16.3 million for the same quarter in 2009. For the first half of 2010, revenues from CRIC were $58.0 million, an increase of 104% from $28.5 million for the same period of 2009. Total revenues for the first half of 2010 included $22.5 million attributable to COHT, while the remaining revenues were $35.5 million, an increase of 24% from $28.5 million for the same period of 2009.

    The year-on-year increase in revenues from CRIC was attributable to increases in revenues from CRIC's real estate information and consulting services and the acquisition of COHT. The increase in revenues from real estate information and consulting services was primarily due to an increased number of subscribers to the CRIC database and more demand for the Company's customized real estate reports, as well as higher consulting revenues. CRIC completed its acquisition of COHT concurrently with its initial public offering ("IPO") in October 2009 and started reporting COHT's business as a new line of business in the fourth quarter of 2009. COHT generates online advertising revenues through operating a real estate Internet business in China.

    Cost of Revenues

    Second quarter cost of revenues was $23.2 million, an increase of 74% from $13.4 million for the same quarter of 2009. Second quarter cost of revenues included $5.9 million attributable to COHT, while the remaining cost of revenues was $17.3 million, an increase of 30% from $13.4 million for the same quarter of 2009. Other than cost attributable to COHT, the year-on-year increase in cost of revenues was mainly due to higher salaries paid to additional sales staff in the primary real estate agency service segment, partially offset by lower commissions paid as a result of lower transaction value of new properties sold. The Company also incurred additional cost for CRIC's database as the CRIC system underwent continued modification and updating in the second quarter of 2010.

    For the first half of 2010, cost of revenues was $42.9 million, an increase of 85% from $23.2 million for the same period of 2009. Cost of revenues for the first half of 2010 included $10.8 million attributable to COHT, while the remaining cost of revenues was $32.1 million, an increase of 38% from $23.2 million for the same period of 2009.

    Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses

    Second quarter SG&A expenses were $44.4 million, an increase of 70% from $26.1 million for the same quarter of 2009. Second quarter SG&A expenses included $13.3 million attributable to COHT, while the remaining SG&A expenses were $31.1 million, an increase of 19% from $26.1 million for the same quarter of 2009. For the first half of 2010, SG&A expenses were $82.4 million, an increase of 79% from $45.9 million for the same period of 2009. SG&A expenses for the first half of 2010 included $22.3 million attributable to COHT, while the remaining SG&A expenses were $60.1 million, an increase of 31% from $45.9 million for the same period of 2009. Other than expenses attributable to COHT, the year-on-year increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to higher salaries associated with the increased number of staff, higher marketing expenses as well as higher share-based compensation expense as a result of share options and restricted shares granted in 2009. 

    Income from Operations

    Second quarter income from operations was $3.6 million, a decrease of 85% from $24.0 million for the same quarter of 2009. For the first half of 2010, income from operations was $17.4 million, a decrease of 36% from $27.2 million for the same period of 2009. Second quarter non-GAAP income from operations, which excludes share-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, was $15.6 million, a decrease of 41% from $26.4 million for the same quarter of 2009. Second quarter non-GAAP income from operations included $2.4 million attributable to COHT, while the remaining non-GAAP income from operations was $13.2 million, a decrease of 50% from $26.4 million for the same quarter of 2009. For the first half of 2010, non-GAAP income from operations was $41.2 million, an increase of 31% from $31.5 million for the same period of 2009. For the first half of 2010, non-GAAP income from operations included $3.8 million attributable to COHT, while the remaining non-GAAP income from operations was $37.4 million, an increase of 19% from $31.5 million for the same period of 2009.

    Other Income

    Second quarter other income of $3.1 million primarily included net income from sales of property held for sales and cash subsidies received by the Company's subsidiaries from local governments as incentives for investing in certain local districts. 

    Income Tax Expense /Benefit

    One of the Company's major subsidiaries that engages in real estate information and consulting services was previously approved as a high and new technology enterprise under the PRC tax law and was therefore subject to a 15% preferential income tax rate for the years from 2008 through 2010. In May 2010, it was granted a software enterprise status and qualified to be exempted from PRC income tax for 2009, followed by a 50% reduction in income tax rate from 2010 through 2012. The effective tax rate in 2010 was adjusted accordingly, and the tax refund of $4.2 million relating to 2009 was recognized as an income tax benefit when received by the subsidiary in the second quarter of 2010.

    Net Income

    Second quarter net income was $10.1 million, a decrease of 50% from $20.1 million for the same quarter of 2009. Second quarter non-GAAP net income was $21.3 million, a decrease of 5% from $22.3 million for the same quarter of 2009. Second-quarter non-GAAP net income included $2.0 million attributable to COHT, while the remaining non-GAAP net income was $19.3 million, a decrease of 14% from $22.3 million for the second quarter of 2009. For the first half of 2010, net income was $21.8 million, a decrease of 18% from $26.7 million for the same period of 2009. First half 2010 non-GAAP net income was $44.2 million, an increase of 43% from $30.9 million for the same period of 2009. First half 2010 non-GAAP net income included $3.2 million attributable to COHT, while the remaining non-GAAP net income was $41.0 million, an increase of 33% from $30.9 million for the same period of 2009.

    Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

    In October 2009, CRIC completed the acquisition of SINA Corporation's ("SINA") (NASDAQ: SINA) 66% equity interest in COHT, increasing its interest in COHT from 34% to 100%, in exchange for issuing 47,666,667 ordinary shares to SINA upon CRIC's IPO. Following the IPO and the acquisition of COHT, E-House remained the majority shareholder of CRIC. As of June 30, 2010, E-House held a 52.33% equity interest in CRIC. As a result, net income attributable to non-controlling interests in the second quarter of 2010 was $3.4 million, a significant increase from the same quarter of 2009. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $4.5 million for the first half of 2010.

    Net Income Attributable to E-House Shareholders

    Second quarter net income attributable to E-House shareholders was $6.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted ADS, compared to $19.3 million for the same quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP net income attributable to E-House shareholders was $13.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted ADS, compared to $21.6 million for the same quarter of 2009. For the first half of 2010, net income attributable to E-House shareholders was $17.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted ADS, compared to $26.4 million for the same period of 2009. Non-GAAP net income attributable to E-House shareholders for the first half was $31.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted ADS, an increase of 4% from $30.6 million, or $0.38 per diluted ADS, for the same period of 2009. 

    Cash Flow

    As of June 30, 2010, the Company had a cash balance of $462.3 million. Second quarter net cash used in operating activities was $6.8 million. This amount was mainly attributable to an increase in customer deposits by $11.4 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets by $5.9 million, a decrease in other current liabilities by $12.3 million, and a decrease in deposit payables by $8.4 million, partially offset by non-GAAP net income of $21.3 million, a decrease in restricted cash by $4.9 million and an increase in accrued payroll and welfare expenses by $4.1 million. Second quarter net cash used in financing activities was $23.7 million, mainly due to the payment of $20.1 million in cash dividends and the payment of $3.9 million to purchase CRIC's American depositary shares. 

    Business Outlook

    The Company estimates that its revenues for the third quarter of 2010 will be in the range of $81 million to $83 million, a decrease of 4% to 6% over the same quarter in 2009. The Company's revenues for the third quarter of 2010 other than revenues to be generated from the online real estate business operated by COHT are estimated to be in the range of $65 million to $66 million, a decrease of 23% to 25% over the same quarter in 2009. This forecast reflects the Company's current and preliminary view, which is subject to change.

    About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    To supplement E-House's consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), E-House uses in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: (1) net income attributable to E-House shareholders, (2) net income, (3) income from operations and (4) net income per diluted ADS, each of which excludes share-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions. 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 "Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release.

    E-House believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information to investors regarding its operating performance by excluding share-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, which may not be indicative of E-House's operating performance from a cash perspective. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to E-House's historical performance and assist its financial and operational decision making. As a result of the acquisition of COHT in the fourth quarter of 2009, E-House has computed its non-GAAP financial measures in this press release by excluding items that previously did not exist or were not material. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that share-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions are recurring expenses that will continue to exist in E-House's business for the foreseeable future. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliation between non-GAAP financial measures and their most comparable GAAP financial measures.
