Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2011

Total net revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 were RMB313.7 million (US$47.9 million), representing an increase of 28.3% from RMB244.5 million for the corresponding period of 2010. The increase was primarily driven by (i) the growth of the sales volume and commission rate of the property and casualty insurance business and (ii) the growth of renewal life insurance policies.

Total operating costs and expenses were RMB225.0 million (US$34.4 million) for the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 26.3% from RMB178.2 million for the corresponding period of 2010.

IR-119

Commissions and fees expenses were RMB153.5 million (US$23.4 million) for the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 30.2% from RMB117.9 million for the corresponding period of 2010. The increase was primarily due to sales growth and largely tracked the increase in net revenues from commissions and fees.

Selling expenses were RMB18.7 million (US$2.9 million) for the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 60.2% from RMB11.7 million for the corresponding period of 2010, primarily due to sales growth and increased headcount and salary in sales outlets.

General and administrative expenses were RMB52.8 million (US$8.1 million) for the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 8.7% from RMB48.6 million for the corresponding period of 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to the following:

(1) an increase of 107.4% in amortization of intangible assets from RMB3.3 million for the first quarter of 2010 to RMB6.7 million (US$1.0 million) for the first quarter of 2011, largely as a result of the acquisitions made since the second quarter of 2010;

(2) an increase of 72.7% in depreciation of fixed assets from RMB3.0 million for the first quarter of 2010 to RMB5.2 million (US$0.8 million) for the first quarter of 2011, largely as a result of the operation of the upgraded IT system in more affiliated entities in the first quarter of 2011;

(3) an increase of 22.8% in payroll expense from RMB18.2 million for the first quarter of 2010 to RMB22.3 million (US$3.4 million) for the first quarter of 2011, largely as a result of the raise in salary for employees starting from the first quarter of 2011.

This increase in the general and administrative expenses was offset by a decrease of 154.1% in share-based compensation expenses from RMB4.5 million for the first quarter of 2010 to a credit of RMB2.5 million (negative US$0.4 million) for the first quarter of 2011, as a result of stock option forfeiture as various directors, officers and employees failed to meet certain key performance targets in 2010.

As a result of the foregoing factors, operating income was RMB88.7 million (US$13.6 million) for the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 33.8% from RMB66.3 million for the corresponding period of 2010. Operating margin was 28.3% for the first quarter of 2011, compared to 27.1% for the corresponding period of 2010.

Interest income for the first quarter of 2011 was RMB8.7 million (US$1.3 million), representing an increase of 39.6% from RMB6.2 million for the corresponding period of 2010.

Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2011 was RMB20.4 million (US$3.1 million), representing a decrease of 4.3% from RMB21.3 million for the corresponding period of 2010. The effective income tax rate applicable to the Company was 20.7% for the first quarter of 2011, compared to 25.7% for the corresponding period of 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to a tax holiday enjoyed by an affiliated subsidiary of the Company since the second quarter of 2010.

IR-119

Net income from continuing operations was RMB80.1 million (US$12.2 million) for the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 23.1% from RMB65.1 million for the corresponding period of 2010. Net margin for the continuing operations was 25.5% for the first quarter of 2011 compared to 26.6% for the corresponding period of 2010.

Net income from discontinued operations was RMB157.3 million (US$24.0 million) for the first quarter of 2011, mainly representing a disposal gain from the sale of Datong. Net income from discontinued operations was RMB4.7 million for the first quarter of 2010, representing net income from operations of Datong contributed to the group.

Total net income was RMB237.4 million (US$36.3 million) for the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 240.0% from RMB69.8 million for the corresponding period of 2010.

Net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders was RMB240.8 million (US$36.8 million) for the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 257.6% from RMB67.3 million for the corresponding period of 2010.

Excluding net income from discontinued operations, investment income incurred by business combination achieved in stages, net of tax and share-based compensation expenses, net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders (non-GAAP) was RMB81.1 million (US$12.4 million) for the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 36.4% from RMB59.5 million from the corresponding period of 2010.

Basic net income per ADS from continuing operations was RMB1.665 (US$0.254) for the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 21.3% from RMB1.372 for the corresponding period of 2010. Fully diluted net income per ADS from continuing operations was RMB1.629 (US$0.249) for the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 22.6% from RMB1.328 from the corresponding period of 2010.

Basic net income per ADS from discontinued operations was RMB3.131 (US$0.478) for the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 2,913.7% from RMB0.104 for the corresponding period of 2010. Fully diluted net income per ADS from discontinued operations was RMB3.064 (US$0.468) for the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 2,945.8% from RMB0.101 from the corresponding period of 2010.

Basic net income per ADS was RMB4.796 (US$0.732) for the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 224.9% from RMB1.476 for the corresponding period of 2010. Fully diluted net income per ADS was RMB4.693 (US$0.717) for the first quarter of 2011, representing an increase of 228.4% from RMB1.429 for the corresponding period of 2010.

Fully diluted non-GAAP net income per ADS was RMB1.581 (US$0.241), representing an increase of 25.3% from RMB1.262 for the corresponding period of 2010.
