“We made several investments in our long-term growth strategy during the first quarter,” stated Mr. Ren Zhiqing, Chairman and CEO of China Bilingual. “In addition to updating our teaching materials, upgrading our equipment and expanding our administrative staff, we increased our refundable deposit to a private K-12 boarding school we are currently negotiating to acquire. We are working toward finalizing the business terms and expect to complete the transaction by the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year in late August, subject to due diligence and board approval. Upon its completion, the acquisition will increase our enrollment capacity by 10,000 students, bringing our total capacity to approximately 20,000 students.”
Mr. Ren continued, “Our students’ strong academic performance and 99% college acceptance rate remain key selling points for our schools. We are confident that our recent investments position us well to drive continued sales and earnings growth, leading to long-term shareholder value improvements.”

About China Bilingual Technology & Education Group Inc.
China Bilingual Technology and Education Group, Inc. is an education company that owns and operates high-quality, K-12 private boarding schools in China. Founded in 1998, the Company currently operates two schools encompassing the kindergarten, elementary, middle and high school levels with over 9,500 students and 1,500 faculty and staff.
The Company’s schools are located in Shanxi and Sichuan Provinces and provide students with an innovative and high-quality education with a focus on fluency and cultural skills in both Chinese and English, as well as a strong core curriculum. The schools regularly rank among the top schools in their respective regions for national college entrance exam scores and college entrance rates. The Company’s schools have earned excellent teaching reputations and are recognized for the success of their students and strong faculty.
As China experiences rapid industrialization and economic growth, the government is focused on education as a means to increase worker productivity and raise the standard of living. Parents in China’s new middle and upper classes are sending their children to receive private school education to give them an advantage in China’s increasingly competitive workforce. The Company’s sector in education is not subject to corporate income tax. The Company anticipates its growth will come from both organic growth through increased enrollment and expansion of its business model and teaching methods into new schools, which may be acquired by the Company.
