Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This report on Form 6-K includes statements that express our current opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”).  The following cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the provisions of the Act and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Act.  These forward looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seek,” “project,” “approximately,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or “anticipate,” or, in each case, their negatives or other variations or comparable terminology.  These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts.  They appear in a number of places throughout this report and include statements regarding our intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in which we operate.

By their nature, forward-looking statements relate to events that involve risks and uncertainties or that depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future.  We believe that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those under “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC.  These statements include, among other things, statements relating to:

·                  our future market opportunities;

·                  our goals and strategies;

·                  our competitive strengths;

·                  our future results of operations and financial condition;

·                  our future business developments; and

·                  our acquisition and expansion strategy.

Although we base these forward-looking statements on assumptions that we believe are reasonable when made, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report.  In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate, are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.  Any forward-looking statement that we make in this report speaks only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of those statements to reflect future events or developments.

KEY OPERATING DATA AND SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL DATA

Key Operating Data

We use the following key operating metrics to manage our schools: full-time equivalent students (“FTEs”), capacity, utilization and revenue per FTE. We monitor FTEs on a weekly basis and the other operating metrics on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis, as we believe that they are the most reliable metrics for measuring the profitability of our schools. The table below sets out our key operating data for the periods indicated:

 (1)  We calculate average FTEs for a period by dividing the total number of FTEs at each calendar month end in the period by the number of calendar months in the period.

(2)  We calculate average capacity for a period as the total number of FTEs that can be accommodated in a school based on its existing classrooms at each academic calendar month divided by the number of months in such period.

(3)  We calculate utilization during a period as a percentage equal to the ratio of average FTEs for the period divided by average capacity for the period.

(4)  We calculate revenue per FTE by dividing our revenue from our schools for the period by the average FTEs for the period.

Supplementary Financial Data

The following table sets forth certain supplementary financial data for the periods indicated.

We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Ordinary Share, Adjusted Cost of Sales and Adjusted Gross Profit as supplemental financial measures of our operating performance. We define EBITDA as (loss)/profit for the period plus income tax expense, net financing (expense)/income, exceptional items, impairment of goodwill, amortization and depreciation, and we define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for the items set forth in the table below. We define Adjusted Net Income as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for the items in the table below.  We define Adjusted Earnings per Ordinary share as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the period.  We define Adjusted Cost of Sales as cost of sales excluding Premium School land and building operating lease costs and depreciation charges arising from tangible assets owned by Premium Schools, and we define Adjusted Gross Profit as revenue less Adjusted Cost of Sales.  EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Ordinary Share, Adjusted Cost of Sales and Adjusted Gross Profit are not standard measures under IFRS. These measures should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to cash flows, net income, earnings per ordinary share or any other measure of financial performance or as indicators of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities. We may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation in the future and certain of these items could be recurring. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Ordinary Share, Adjusted Cost of Sales and Adjusted Gross Profit presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
