Item 8.01 Other Events.
ChinaCast Education Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to update
Items 6,7 and 8 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, which was
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2009 (the “2008 Form 10-K”). These
updates are being made to reflect the retrospective application upon adoption, effective January 1,
2009, of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 is applicable
on a prospective basis; however, the presentation and disclosure requirements must be applied
retrospectively when prior periods are presented in future filings. The Company is filing this
Form 8-K to provide investors with recast financial information from prior periods in order to
assist them in making comparisons of financial information for current and future periods with
financial information for such prior periods, in light of the retrospective presentation and
disclosure requirements of SFAS 160.
SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests (i.e.,
minority interests) in a subsidiary, including changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a
subsidiary, and requires, among other things, that noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries be
classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s consolidated financial statements included in
the 2008 Form 10-K have been recast, to give effect to the retrospective presentation and
disclosure requirements of SFAS 160. Such information is attached to this Current Report on Form
8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not reflect events or developments that occurred after March
16, 2009. More current information is contained in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q
for the periods ended March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009 (the “Form 10-Qs”) and other filings with
the SEC. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the
2008 Form 10-K, the Form 10-Qs and other documents filed by the Companies with the SEC subsequent
to March 16, 2009.
