UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
On August 23, 2010, ChinaCast Education Holdings Limited (the “Purchaser”), a British Virgin Islands company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ChinaCast Education Corporation (the “Company”), completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Wintown Enterprises Limited (“Wintown”) from Wu Shi Xing who holds 100% of the equity interest in Wintown for a total purchase price of RMB450,000,000 (or approximately $67.2 million). RMB360,000,000 (or approximately $53.7 million) of the purchase price has been paid and the remaining RMB90,000,000 (or approximately $13.4 million) will be paid within 30 days of August 31, 2011. The source of the cash used for the acquisition is from working capital of the Company.
 
Wintown owns 100% of the equity interest in Shanghai Rubao Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Rubao”), which in turn owns 100% of the equity interest in Wuhan Jiyang Education Investment Co., Ltd. (“Jiyang”). As a result of the consummation of the acquisition, the Purchaser now holds 100% of the equity interest in Jiyang. Hubei Industrial University Business College (“HIUBC”) is jointly sponsored by Jiyang and Hubei Industrial University. HIUBC, which was founded in 2003 by private investors, is an independent accredited college affiliated with Hubei Industrial University, that offers bachelor degree and diploma courses in industrial engineering design, computer engineering, management, economics, language studies and law. For the academic year which started on September 1, 2009 and ended on August 31, 2010, HIUBC had 9,929 students enrolled and a staff that included 511 full-time and part-time teachers.
 
After the Acquisition, Wintown, Rubao and Jiyang are holding companies with no other business. Before the Acquisition, as part of a reorganization (the “Reorganization”), Rubao and Jiyang has disposed of all assets and liabilities not related to the operations of HIUBC and Rubao purchased the entire interest in Jiyang, which was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
 
The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements reflect the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the acquisition. Consequently, the amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements are subject to change, and the final amounts may differ substantially.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2010 gives effect to the Acquisition as if the Acquisition and the Reorganization had been completed on that date, and was derived from the historical unaudited balance sheet of Wintown and HIUBC as of June 30, 2010, combined with ChinaCast’s historical unaudited balance sheet as of June 30, 2010.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 illustrates the effect of the acquisition of Wintown as if the Acquisition and the Reorganization had occurred on January 1, 2009, and was derived from the historical audited statement of operations for Wintown and HIUBC for the year ended December 31, 2009, combined with ChinaCast’s historical audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 illustrates the effect of the acquisition of Wintown as if the Acquisition and the Reorganization had occurred on January 1, 2010 and combines the historical unaudited statement of operations of ChinaCast for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and the historical unaudited statement of operations of Wintown through the date of acquisition.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED
STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2010 were prepared by combining the Company’s historical statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2010 with Wintown’s historical results for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010, respectively, giving effect to the Acquisition as though the Acquisition and the Reorganization was completed on January 1, 2009 and January 1, 2010, respectively. Certain historical information of Wintown has been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the Company’s historical statements.

 
1.
Acquisition
 
On August 23, 2010, ChinaCast Education Holdings Limited (the “Purchaser”), a British Virgin Islands company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Wintown Enterprises Limited (“Wintown”) from Wu Shi Xing who holds 100% of the equity interest in Wintown for a total purchase price of RMB450,000,000 (or approximately $67.2 million). RMB360,000,000 (or approximately $53.7 million) of the purchase price has been paid and the remaining RMB90,000,000 (or approximately $13.4 million) will be paid within 30 days of August 31, 2011. The source of the cash used for the acquisition is from working capital of the Company.
 
Wintown owns 100% of the equity interest in Shanghai Rubao Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Rubao”), which in turn owns 100% of the equity interest in Wuhan Jiyang Education Investment Co., Ltd. (“Jiyang”). As a result of the consummation of the acquisition, the Purchaser now holds 100% of the equity interest in Jiyang. Hubei Industrial University Business College (“HIUBC”) is jointly sponsored by Jiyang and Hubei Industrial University. HIUBC, which was founded in 2003 by private investors, is an independent accredited college affiliated with Hubei Industrial University, that offers bachelor degree and diploma courses in industrial engineering design, computer engineering, management, economics, language studies and law. For the academic year which started on September 1, 2009 and ended on August 31, 2010, HIUBC had 9,929 students enrolled and a staff that included 511 full-time and part-time teachers.
 
After the Acquisition, Wintown, Rubao and Jiyang are holding companies with no other business. Before the Acquisition, as part of a reorganization (the “Reorganization”), Rubao and Jiyang has disposed of all assets and liabilities not related to the operations of HIUBC and Rubao purchased the entire interest in Jiyang, which was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
 
The Company has completed a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition included as adjustment notes 2(b). It is possible that the purchase price allocation will be adjusted upon finalization of the accounting for the acquired assets.
 
The amortizable intangible includes RMB41 million of acquired customer relationship and RMB32 million of affiliation agreement. Useful lives of 48 months and 36 months have been assigned to the customer relationship intangible and the affiliation agreement intangible. The identifiable intangible assets and goodwill are not deductible for tax purposes.
