- Net revenue from the ELP business was RMB49.6 million (US$7.6 million), a 79.6% decrease from RMB242.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010
Total operating loss was RMB43.3 million (US$6.6 million), compared with operating income of RMB32.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010

Commenting on the results, Mr. Jerry He, Noah's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), said, "Our education services business continued to enjoy profitable growth during the third fiscal quarter, with 115.5% top-line expansion translating into 158.2% net income growth. This quarter, we benefitted from an increased contribution from Wentai Education as the attractive margin profile of this business enabled our bottom line to outpace revenue growth. As we continue to expand the Wentai brand, we look forward to building on this trend of profitable growth within the education services space.
"This quarter, we further executed on our objective of acquisitive growth by entering into a definitive agreement to acquire an 80% interest in Yuanbo Education. Operating under the Qingan brand name, Yuanbo's 16 kindergartens in the affluent Yangtze Delta region offer world-class courses and are an ideal complement to Wentai Education's portfolio of schools. Yuanbo has built an impressive track record since its establishment in 2001 and we are confident that the fresh capital from this acquisition, coupled with Noah's extensive experience in the education services sector, will facilitate the ongoing growth of this brand and make it earnings accretive in our fiscal year 2012.
"As we shift our focus to the education services space, we remain on track with the sale of our ELP business. In April, we received the first installment payment and expect the deal to close by the end of May 2011. The sale of this business will enable us to better conserve cash and further strengthen our balance sheet and afford us the financial flexibility to continue investing in our future growth. As a result of our stringent cash flow control, our cash flow from operations was RMB 9.8 million despite the loss incurred from the ELP business.
"With a business structure that allows us to concentrate exclusively on our more stable and higher-margin education services segment, we are in the process of assembling a dedicated management team with relevant experience in the education services segment to ensure we execute on this initiative and capitalize on the robust growth opportunities.
"Looking ahead, our growth remains on track. The four Wentai kindergartens that were under conversion during the third fiscal quarter are due to contribute to revenue in the quarter ended June 2011, three new schools or kindergartens are scheduled to open by September 2011, and contracts have been signed to open three kindergartens and one school in 2012. The US$75 million cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on our balance sheet at the end of March stands us in good stead to continue our organic and acquisitive growth. As we progress through this transitional period, we anticipate revenue in the range of RMB24.5 million – RMB26 million during the fourth fiscal quarter from Little New Star and Wentai Education, which constitute our existing education services portfolio."

Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was RMB23.9 million (US$3.7 million), an 80.8% decrease compared with gross profit of RMB124.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was 33.0%. Gross margin for the traditional ELP business was 23.1%, compared with 49.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease in ELP gross profit margin was primarily due to a reduction in ELP selling prices amid strong market competition, as well as pricing policies designed to reduce inventory to appropriate levels. The gross margin for the education services business was 54.1%, compared with 49.5% in the same quarter of fiscal 2010.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were RMB71.9 million (US$11.0 million), representing a 34.0% decrease from RMB108.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were RMB10.8 million (US$1.7 million), representing a 20.1% decrease from RMB13.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The total decrease in R&D expenses was mainly attributable to lower expenses relating to product development and third party software and content development.
Sales and marketing expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 were RMB36.0 million (US$5.5 million), a 50.8% decrease from RMB73.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, mainly reflecting lower expenditure on advertising and marketing.
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled RMB25.1 million (US$3.8 million), a 14.1% increase from RMB22.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in G&A expenses was mainly attributable to the incremental expenses arising from Wentai Education, which was not consolidated in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
Loss from Operations. Operating loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was RMB43.3 million (US$6.6 million), compared to operating income of RMB33.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Operating loss from continuing operations was RMB6.0 million (US$0.9 million), and operating loss from discontinued operations was RMB37.3 million (US$5.7 million).

As of March 31, 2011, the carrying value of assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale amounted to RMB388.6 million (US$59.3 million) and RMB66.9 million (US$10.2 million) respectively. Based on the definitive agreement signed by the Company and First Win Technologies Ltd. dated March 31, 2011, the consideration of the disposal is RMB100 million and the closing is currently expected to occur by the end of May 2011. As such, the Company recognized an impairment loss on assets held for sale of RMB221.7 million (US$33.9 million) during the third quarter of fiscal 2011. The impairment loss on assets held for sale includes an impairment loss on trade receivables of RMB140.3 million (US$21.4 million) and inventories of RMB81.4 million (US$12.4 million), and represents the difference between the fair value of assets held for sale and their carrying amount.
Other Income, Net. Interest income was RMB0.23 million (US$0.04 million) in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Investment income was RMB2.6 million (US$0.4 million) in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Other non-operating income was RMB7.3 million (US$1.1 million) in the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Other non-operating income includes RMB6.9 million (US$1.1 million) from foreign exchange gains in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, primarily due to the impact of the U.S dollar depreciation on intercompany loans.
Income Tax Expenses. The Company reported income tax expenses of RMB36.0 million (US$5.5 million). Total tax expenses include accrued withholding tax liabilities of RMB32.1 million (US$4.9 million) relating to the discontinued ELP operation as a result of the waiver of intercompany balances from the discontinued ELP operation due to the Company.
Net Loss. The Company reported a net loss of RMB290.9 million (US$44.4 million), or a loss of RMB8.04 (US$1.23) per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

Liquidity. As of March 31, 2011, Noah had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of RMB491.2 million (US$75.0 million). This compares with cash, cash equivalents, short-term deposits and short-term investments of RMB495.7 million as of December 31, 2010.
Business and Operational Highlights

On April 1, 2011, Noah announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its ELP business and operating assets to First Win Technologies Ltd., a company wholly owned by Mr. Benguo Tang, one of Noah's founders and the former President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, for the U.S. dollar equivalent of RMB100 million.
