In addition, our core IDC business continues to grow with utilization throughout China improving as a result of continued strong demand from our internet and enterprise customers alike.

Mr. Shang-Wen Hsiao, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented, "We are pleased to have maintained a high Monthly Recurring Revenues per cabinet and improved our utilization during the quarter through constant focus on addressing the increasing demand from a growing customer base.

We believe we are well positioned to grow our overall internet infrastructure footprint as the adoption and consumption of cloud computing and data-intense online media, ecommerce and other services continue to proliferate in China."

Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results

REVENUES: Net revenues for the second quarter of 2013 increased by 29.3% to RMB471.1 million (US$76.8 million) from RMB364.5 million in the comparative period in 2012.

Net revenues from hosting and related services increased by 42.9% to RMB293.0 million (US$47.7 million) in the second quarter of 2013 from RMB205.1 million in the comparative period in 2012, primarily due to an increase in the total number of cabinets under management in both the Company's self-built and partnered data centers. Net revenues from managed network services increased by 11.8% to RMB178.1 million (US$29.0 million) in the second quarter of 2013 from RMB159.4 million in the comparative period in 2012, primarily driven by an increase in network capacity demand for data transmission services.

GROSS PROFIT: For the second quarter of 2013, gross profit increased by 19.1% to RMB123.1 million (US$20.1 million) from RMB103.4 million in the comparative period in 2012. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2013 was 26.1%, compared with 28.4% in the comparative period in 2012. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in cost of revenues, resulting from increased depreciation for the Company's self-built data centers.

Adjusted gross profit, which excludes share-based compensation expenses and amortization of intangible assets derived from acquisitions, increased by 23.1% to RMB135.8 million (US$22.1 million) from RMB110.3 million in the comparative period in 2012. Adjusted gross margin was 28.8% in the second quarter of 2013, compared with 30.3 % in the comparative period in 2012 and 28.8% in the first quarter of 2013.

OPERATING EXPENSES: Total operating expenses were RMB136.7 million (US$22.3 million), compared with RMB75.0 million in the comparative period in 2012.

Sales and marketing expenses increased to RMB36.9 million (US$6.0 million) from RMB24.3 million in the comparative period in 2012, primarily due to the expansion of the Company's sales and service support team and the Company's marketing efforts associated with the launch of Microsoft's premier cloud services.

General and administrative expenses increased to RMB40.1 million (US$6.5 million) from RMB32.0 million in the comparative period in 2012, primarily due to an increase in headcount, office rentals and other expansion-related expenses associated with the Company's efforts to expand its cloud computing service offering.

Research and development expenses increased to RMB19.5 million (US$3.2 million) from RMB16.5 million in the comparative period in 2012, which reflected the Company's efforts to further strengthen its research and development capabilities and expand its cloud computing service offerings.

Change in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable was a loss of RMB40.3 million (US$6.6 million) in the second quarter of 2013, compared with a loss in the change in fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable of RMB2.2 million in the prior year period. This non-cash loss was primarily due to an increase in the market value of the Company's shares, which resulted in an increase in the fair value of share-based contingent purchase considerations payable as of June 30, 2013 associated with the Company's past acquisitions.

Adjusted operating expenses, which exclude share-based compensation expenses and the changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable, increased to RMB85.9 million (US$14.0 million) from RMB62.1 million in the comparative period in 2012. As a percentage of net revenue, adjusted operating expenses were 18.2%, compared with 17.1% in the comparative period in 2012 and 18.4% in the first quarter of 2013.

ADJUSTED EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2013 increased by 23.8% to RMB87.2 million (US$14.2 million) from RMB70.4 million in the comparative period in 2012. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 18.5%, compared with 19.3% in the comparative period in 2012 and 18.4 % in the first quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2013 excludes share-based compensation expenses of RMB11.6 million (US$1.9 million) and changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable of RMB40.3 million (US$6.6 million).

NET PROFIT/LOSS: Net loss for the second quarter of 2013 was RMB42.3 million (US$6.9 million), compared to a net profit of RMB18.2million in the comparative period in 2012. The decrease in net profit was due to the aforementioned non-cash loss in change in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable that the Company recorded during the quarter and an increase in interest expense of primarily associated with the Company's bond offering of RMB1 billion in aggregate principal in March, 2013.

Adjusted net profit for the second quarter of 2013 was RMB18.8 million (US$3.1 million), compared with RMB37.6 million in the comparative period in 2012. Adjusted net profit in the second quarter of 2013 excludes share-based compensation expenses of RMB11.6 million (US$1.9 million), amortization of intangible assets derived from acquisitions of RMB11.6 million (US$1.9 million), and changes in the fair value of contingent purchase consideration payable and related deferred tax impact of RMB37.9 million (US$6.2 million) in the aggregate. Adjusted net margin was 4.0%, compared to 10.3% in the comparative period in 2012 and 7.1% in the first quarter of 2013.

EARNING/LOSS PER SHARE: Diluted loss per ordinary share for the second quarter of 2013 was RMB0.12, which represents the equivalent of RMB0.72 (US$0.12) per American Depositary Share ("ADS"). Each ADS represents six ordinary shares. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2013 was RMB0.05, which represents the equivalent of RMB0.30 (US$0.05) per ADS. Adjusted earnings per share is calculated using adjusted net profit as discussed above to divide the weighted average shares number.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had a total of 354.3 million ordinary shares outstanding, or the equivalent of 59.0 million ADSs.

BALANCE SHEET: As of June 30, 2013, the Company's cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment were RMB1.5 billion (US$242.6 million).
