What's changed  
In response to investor demand, we re-introduce “The Seasonalizer”, a modeling tool derived from the past to forecast EDU’s future. Since EDU only reports new student enrollments (which generate cash inflows), as opposed  
to active students (which generate revenue), the mismatch between enrollments and revenue in a given quarter sometimes perplexes investors.  
For example, last quarter EDU reported 13% yoy enrollment growth and suggested that pricing per enrollment was up high teens, but achieved 40% (renminbi) revenue growth. We believe this was because active students were up faster than enrollments – a blend of 13% yoy enrollment growth in 3QFY09 and 24% yoy in 4QFY09. We convert new enrollments into active students each quarter using “The Seasonalizer”, which relies on six years’worth of enrollment and revenue history to estimate what proportion of new enrollments become active in a given quarter.
