Shareholders' equity was $49.2 million for fiscal 2011, an increase of 34.0% as compared to $36.7 million for fiscal 2010. On a combined pro forma basis, China Bilingual and Shanxi Rising would have had twelve-month revenues of $32.6 million with net income of $12.7 million or $0.42 per share if combined for the full twelve months ended August 31, 2011.
Founded in 2002, the Shanxi Rising School, owned by Shanxi Rising, is located in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, People's Republic of China. The school has approximately 5,000 students currently enrolled and a total capacity for approximately 10,000 students. The school campus spans 82 acres and is comprised of over 2.3 million square feet of facilities, including 18 dormitories to accommodate 10,000 students, academic classrooms, gymnasium, theater, natatorium, cafeteria, and other administrative and academic buildings.
"Shanxi Rising generated nearly $8 million in revenue in fiscal 2011 on only one-third of its enrollment capacity for the last school year," stated Dr. Ren Zhiqing, Chairman and CEO of China Bilingual. "By implementing our proven operational methodologies and academic curriculum, we have already increased enrollment at the Shanxi Rising School for the 2011-2012 school year from approximately 3,000 students in the last school year to over 5,000 students. We believe we can continue to steadily ramp up student enrollment, driving substantial growth for the Company in the years ahead. We remain dedicated to becoming an education leader in China, and this acquisition is yet another milestone on our way to achieving that goal."
