China Education Alliance Announces Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Our overall cost of revenue decreased by $0.3 million or 17% to $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, from $1.5 million for the second quarter last year. Cost of revenue for the online education division decreased $0.03 million or 3% to $1.04 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, from $1.07 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The slight decrease was primarily due to the decrease in depreciation costs resulting from decreased expenditure on fixed assets. While we strive to provide high-quality and update-to-date online materials, we continue to control cost of revenue for the online education division by closely monitoring the variable costs while maintaining fixed costs at a stable level. Cost of revenue for the training center division decreased by $0.2 million or 59% to $0.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $0.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in cost of revenue was mainly due to a decrease in teacher's salary as our teachers are paid by the number of classes they teach and there was a decrease in classes we offered during the second quarter of 2015 particularly the significant decrease in the course offerings of Tianlang as compared to the same period in 2014.

Gross loss was $1.01 million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $0.15 million, or 18% from $0.86 million for the same period in 2014. Selling expenses decreased by $0.3 million or 25% to $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2015, from $1.2 million for the prior year. Selling expenses were 74% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2015 compared with 82% in 2014. The decrease in selling expenses was mainly due to the decrease in direct labor cost for selling classes of our onsite training centers. We expect our selling expenses to remain at the same level for the coming quarter.

Administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million or 2%, to $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2015, from $5.0 million for 2014. This was mainly due to the increase in labor costs for the ongoing maintenance of the Platform, as well as development expenses for the Platform related functions. In the future we expect the administrative expenses to remain at this level because we will incur ongoing research and development expenses for the maintenance and further development of the Platform.

Net loss was $7.6 million, or negative return of $0.72 per share basic and diluted, for the second quarter of 2015, as compared to net loss of $7.4 million or negative return of $0.70 per share basic and diluted, for the same period in 2014.

Financial Position

At June 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9.8 million, a decrease of $12.9 million or 57%, from $22.7 million as of December 31, 2014.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had no long-term debt.
