Cost of services was CNY45.1 million, representing an increase of 1.6% from the fourth quarter 2009 and a 24.3% decrease over the first quarter 2009. Sequentially, cost of services grew slower than net revenue due to continuous efforts to control operating costs.

Income tax expense for the first quarter 2010 was CNY21.6 million, compared to income tax expense of CNY15.3 million in the fourth quarter 2009 and income tax expense of CNY25.9 million in the first quarter 2009.
