million) for the third quarter of 2009 from RMB68.2 million (US$10.0 million)

largest revenue contributor in the quarter, accounting for 30.1% of total net

Notes to reconciliation of our GAAP statements of income to our adjusted
statements of income:

(1) To exclude share-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP
measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that the Company
does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results.
(2) To exclude the impact caused by the impairment and/or disposal
losses on available-for-sale securities from its non-GAAP measures,
which is one-off in nature.
