During the quarter, we continued our restaurant network expansion, adding a net of 13 restaurants.

Ms. Hong Li continued, "We managed to lower our operating expenses, bringing them down by 2.6% from the fourth quarter of 2011. We are still aiming for further operating expense reductions, recognizing that we have incurred an operating loss of RMB3.3 million, mainly due to impairment charges of RMB2.5 million. Going forward, we will continue our focus on bringing our operating costs in line with a tightened budget that supports both profitability and growth."

Mr. Adam Zhao, chief financial officer of Country Style Cooking, added, "During the first quarter of 2012, the company faced significant cost control challenges, some lingering from previous quarters. Yet, our introduction of new key performance indicators and novel programs designed to improve operational profitability are beginning to show results, as evidenced by the quarter-on-quarter reduction of operating expenses combined with solid top-line growth."

First Quarter 2012 Financial Performances

Revenues in the first quarter of 2012 increased by 28.1% to RMB285.2 million ($45.3 million) from RMB222.6 million in the same period in 2011. Revenue growth was primarily supported by the Company's expanding restaurant network. During the first quarter 2012, Country Style Cooking opened a net of 13 restaurants, bringing the total restaurant count to 212 as of March 31, 2012, compared to its total restaurant count of 140 as of March 31, 2011. Comparable restaurant sales increased by 1.1% compared with the same quarter of 2011. There were 123 restaurants in the comparison.

Costs of food and paper increased by 35.0% to RMB134.3 million ($21.3 million) in the first quarter of 2012 from RMB99.5 million in the same quarter of 2011, primarily as a result of restaurant expansion and increased food costs. As a percentage of revenues, cost of food and paper increased to 47.1% in the first quarter of 2012 from 44.7% in the same quarter of 2011. Restaurant staff catering and welfare expenses were reclassified from food and paper and other restaurant operating expense to the category of restaurant wages and related expenses Prior period numbers have been reclassified accordingly to conform with the current presentation. For details, please refer to note 1 in Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Restaurant wages and related expenses increased by 38.6% to RMB57.8 million ($9.2 million) in the first quarter of 2012 from RMB41.7 million in the same quarter of 2011. The increase was attributable to increased headcount and wage levels. As a percentage of revenues, restaurant wages and related expenses increased to 20.2% in the first quarter of 2012 from 18.7% in the same period in 2011.( )

Restaurant rent expenses increased by 52.3% to RMB30.6 million ($4.9 million) in the first quarter of 2012 from RMB20.1 million in the same quarter of 2011. As with other expense categories, the increase primarily arose from expansion of the Company's restaurant network. As a percentage of revenues, restaurant rental expenses increased to 10.7% in the first quarter of 2012 from 9.0% in the first quarter of 2011.

Restaurant utility expenses increased by 38.5% to RMB18.7 million ($3.0 million) in the first quarter of 2012 from RMB13.5 million in the same quarter of 2011.

Other restaurant operating expenses increased by 58.8% to RMB11.7 million ($1.9 million) in the first quarter of 2012 from RMB7.4 million in the same quarter of 2011, primarily due to increased spending in warehousing, logistics and in-store promotions. As a percentage of revenues, other restaurant operating expenses increased slightly to 4.1% in the first quarter of 2012 from 3.3% in the first quarter of 2011.

Restaurant-level operating margin was 11.3% in the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of 680 basis points over the same period in 2011. The decrease was primarily driven by the large number of newly-opened restaurants, where operations take time to ramp up to higher levels of profitability.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by 34.6% to RMB16.0 million ($2.5 million) in the first quarter of 2012, compared to RMB11.9 million in the same period in 2011, reflecting increased restaurant openings during the first quarter of 2012 and increased spending on administrative staff cost, including higher share-based compensation expenses.

Pre-opening expense for the first quarter of 2012 amounted to RMB3.3 million ($0.5 million), representing an increase of 116.5% as compared to RMB1.5 million in the same quarter of 2011, primarily because of the expansion in the Company's restaurant network. As a percentage of revenues, pre-opening expense increased to 1.2% in the first quarter of 2012 from 0.7% in the same quarter of 2011.

As a percentage of revenues, depreciation expense increased to 4.8% in the first quarter of 2012 from 3.4% in the same quarter of 2011.

Impairment charges were RMB2.5 million ($0.4 million) in the first quarter of 2012, representing costs related to asset impairment costs with three underperforming restaurants.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP measures by the SEC: adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per ADS, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We define adjusted net income as net income excluding the one-time tax income and share-based compensation expenses. We define adjusted diluted earnings per ADS as diluted earnings per ADS excluding one-time tax income and share-based compensation expenses. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding foreign exchange gain or loss, other income or expense, impairment charges and share-based compensation. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Supplementary Metrics--Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" set forth at the end of this release.

The Company believes that in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its operating performance and liquidity. The Company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical performance and liquidity. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating the business internally and therefore deems it important to provide all of this information to investors. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons to the Company's historical performance.

One of the limitations of using adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per ADS, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is that they do not include all items that impact the Company's net income for the relevant periods. A limitation of using these non-GAAP measures is that they exclude certain items including share-based compensation charges that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in our business. It also excludes the one-time tax income that has a direct cash-flow impact on our business. In addition, the Company's EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures utilized by other companies since such other companies may not calculate EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as the Company does. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables have more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
