			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MissionIR today announces that its  interview with Boyd Gentry, the president and chief executive officer of AdCare  Health Systems (NYSE Amex: ADK), is now available online. The complete interview  can be heard at http://adk.missionir.com/adk/interview.html.</p>
<p>Mr. Gentry discussed the company&#8217;s rapid growth, its aggressive M&amp;A  program, and acquisitions that are on the horizon for 2012, which are projected  to increase the company&#8217;s revenue run rate by more than 500% over 2010. Mr.  Gentry additionally provided an overview of the company&#8217;s business model and  discussed the background of the company&#8217;s executive team, including recent  additions of new talent. Mr. Gentry emphasized AdCare&#8217;s tremendous growth, which  is singular among its competitors in these challenging economic times.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re the only long-term care company that is aggressively acquiring these  smaller, regionally focused, privately held, nursing home operators,&#8221; Mr. Gentry  stated. &#8220;Typically, these acquisition targets are not focused on the more  complex, but more profitable sub-acute segment of the business. AdCare is able  to build upon the solid custodial care reputations of these smaller operators by  expanding their clinical capabilities and post-acute services. Our revenues grew  four-fold in 2010, and then last year we doubled to a run rate of $200 million.  We have a number of acquisitions in the pipeline and expect by the end of this  year to at least double again.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA &#8212; (Marketwire) &#8212; 02/03/12 &#8212; Threshold  Pharmaceuticals, Inc (NASDAQ: THLD)</p>
<ul>
<li>Threshold to receive $25 million upfront, plus further potential milestones  and royalties</li>
<li>Deal provides Threshold option to co-commercialize in the United States</li>
<li>Phase 3 trial in soft tissue sarcoma on-going and randomized Phase II trial  in patients with pancreatic cancer expected to report in February 2012</li>
</ul>
<p>Threshold Pharmaceuticals, Inc (NASDAQ: THLD) today announced that a global  agreement was signed with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, to co-develop and  commercialize TH-302, Threshold&#8217;s small molecule hypoxia-targeted drug. TH-302  is currently being investigated in a global Phase 3 clinical trial in patients  with soft tissue sarcoma, a randomized Phase 2 trial in patients with advanced  pancreatic cancer from which top-line results are expected in February, as well  as additional clinical studies in other solid tumors and hematological  malignancies.</p>
<p>Under the terms of the agreement, Merck will receive co-development rights,  exclusive global commercialization rights and will provide Threshold an option  to co-commercialize the therapeutic in the United States. In exchange, Threshold  will receive an upfront payment of $25 million and could receive up to $35  million in additional development milestones during 2012. Threshold is also  eligible to receive a $20 million milestone payment based on positive results  from its randomized Phase 2 trial in pancreatic cancer. Total potential  milestone payments are $525 million, comprised of $280 million in regulatory and  development milestones and $245 million in sales-based milestones.</p>
<p>In the United States, Threshold will have primary responsibility for  development of TH-302 in the soft tissue sarcoma indication. Threshold and Merck  KGaA will jointly develop TH-302 in all other cancer indications being pursued.  Merck KGaA will pay 70% of worldwide development costs for TH-302.</p>
<p>Subject to FDA approval in the United States, Merck KGaA will initially be  responsible for commercialization of TH-302 with Threshold receiving a tiered,  double-digit royalty on sales. Under the royalty-bearing portion of the  agreement, Threshold retains the option to co-promote TH-302 in the United  States. Additionally, Threshold retains the option to co-commercialize TH-302  allowing the company to participate in up to 50% of the profits in the United  States based on certain revenue tiers. Outside of the United States, Merck KGaA  will be solely responsible for the commercialization of TH-302 with Threshold  receiving a tiered, double-digit royalty on sales in these territories.</p>
<p>&#8220;The addition of TH-302 to our pipeline provides an important opportunity in  several different tumor types to expand our oncology development program,&#8221; said  Susan Jane Herbert, Head of Global Business Development and Strategy, Merck  Serono. &#8220;Given the fact that pancreatic cancer is a very difficult to treat  indication, successful Phase II results could represent an important upside for  our company.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We are excited by the new resources that our partnership is going to bring  to the development of TH-302 and the expertise in clinical development and  commercialization that Merck will contribute to this program,&#8221; said Barry  Selick, President and CEO of Threshold. &#8220;This collaboration provides Threshold a  strong and committed partner with a shared vision for TH-302.&#8221;</p>
<p>Morrison &amp; Foerster LLP acted as legal counsel for Threshold in this  transaction.</p>
<p><em>About TH-302<br />
</em>TH-302 is a hypoxia-targeted drug that is thought to  be activated under tumor hypoxic conditions, a hallmark for many cancer  indications. Areas of low oxygen levels (hypoxia) within tissues are common in  many solid tumors due to insufficient blood vessel growth. Similarly, the bone  marrow of patients with hematological malignancies has also been shown, in some  cases, to be extremely hypoxic.</p>
<p>TH-302 has been investigated in over 550 patients in Phase I/II clinical  trials to date in a broad spectrum of tumor types, both as a monotherapy and in  combination with chemotherapy treatments and other targeted cancer drugs.</p>
<p>Threshold has several ongoing clinical trials including, but not limited to,  a controlled Phase 2 trial of TH-302 in combination with gemcitabine versus  gemcitabine alone in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer and a Phase 3  study evaluating TH-302 in combination with doxorubicin versus doxorubicin alone  in patients with soft tissue sarcoma.</p>
<p><em>TH-302 development in soft tissue sarcoma</em></p>
<p>A Phase 3 trial of TH-302 in patients with first-line advanced soft tissue  sarcoma (STS) was initiated in September 2011, based on results from a Phase 1/2  trial investigating its use in combination with the chemotherapeutic  doxorubicin. This randomized, multi-center Phase 3 trial will investigate the  use of TH-302 plus doxorubicin compared with doxorubicin alone. The primary  efficacy endpoint is overall survival. The study is conducted under a Special  Protocol Assessment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It is being run  in partnership with the Sarcoma Alliance for Research through Collaboration  (SARC) and aims to enroll 450 patients with metastatic or locally advanced  unresectable STS.</p>
<p><em>TH-302 development in pancreatic cancer</em></p>
<p>Results from a randomized, controlled, multi-center Phase 2 trial of TH-302  in patients with first-line pancreatic cancer are expected to be announced in  February 2012. This trial of 214 previously untreated patients with locally  advanced unresectable or metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma started in June  2010, and completed enrollment in June 2011. Two different doses of TH-302 in  combination with the chemotherapeutic gemcitabine were compared to gemcitabine  alone, with progression free survival (PFS) as the primary endpoint.</p>
<p><em>Soft tissue sarcoma</em></p>
<p>Sarcomas are a group of aggressive cancers of connective tissue of the body  for which there are currently limited treatment options. Soft tissue sarcomas  are treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Doxorubicin as a single  agent or in combination with ifosfamide are the most commonly used  chemotherapeutic regimens in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma, but  response rates are generally low and toxicity can be significant. The American  Cancer Society estimates that 10,980 people were diagnosed with a soft tissue  sarcoma in the United States in 2011, and approximately 3,920 people died from  the disease. In Europe, it is estimated that more than 32,000 people were  diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma in 2010.</p>
<p><em>Pancreatic cancer</em></p>
<p>Pancreatic cancer is a malignant neoplasm of the pancreas with current  treatment options including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Gemcitabine  as a single agent or in combination with other treatments is the most commonly  used chemotherapeutic agent in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. It is  estimated that approximately 279,000 cases of pancreatic cancer were diagnosed  worldwide in 2008. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer  death both in the United States and internationally. The American Cancer Society  estimates that 44,030 people were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the United  States in 2011, and approximately 37,660 people died from the disease.</p>
<p><em>About Merck Serono</em></p>
<p>Merck Serono is the biopharmaceutical division of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt,  Germany, a global pharmaceutical and chemical company. Headquartered in Geneva,  Switzerland, Merck Serono discovers, develops, manufactures and markets  prescription medicines of both chemical and biological origin in specialist  indications.

The program was designed to infill  zones of mineralization defined by previous drilling as well as continue  expanding the resource in the north, east, and westerly directions through step  out drilling. The results have confirmed the continuity and tenor of the  extensive silver and zinc mineralization seen at Sierra Mojada, and  mineralization remains open in all directions. Silver Bull&#8217;s drill program is  ongoing with 3 rigs currently onsite. Please see www.silverbullresources.com for  more information.</p>

<p>* Drillholes that were previously reported by Silver Bull<br />
**  Intervals shown are mineralized lengths of core and are not necessarily true  widths.</p>
<p>About the Mineralization: A thick &#8220;upper&#8221; dolomite unit is  the favorable host rock for the silver oxide mineralization seen in the Shallow  Silver Zone, especially when immediately adjacent to fault zones. The discovery  of the new &#8220;Centenario Zone&#8221; at the end of 2011, which is hosted within a  strategraphically &#8220;lower&#8221; dolomite unit and averages +100 meter intercepts at  &gt;60g/t Ag underlies the upper dolomite which hosts the Shallow Silver Zone  and was not tested by many of the early holes drilled in 2011. During the first  quarter of 2012 a number of these holes will be deepened to see if the  mineralization seen in the Centenario zone continues to the south within the  lower dolomite. Sections 631500E and 631600E shown below demonstrate this  concept.</p>

It is planned that the lower dolomite  unit will be explored in 2012 by deepening a number of holes drilled early in  the 2011 drill campaign. Only drill holes with the prefix &#8220;B11&#8243; were drilled in  2011.</p>

<p>About  the Shallow Silver Zone: Currently contains a NI43-101 compliant resource at a  15g/t cutoff grade of 47.3Moz of silver in the &#8220;indicated&#8221; category and 13.8Moz  of silver in the &#8220;inferred&#8221; category. The mineralized body averages between 30m  &#8211; 90m thick, is up to 200m wide and has an average grade of just over 50g/t  silver. Mineralization remains open in the east, west, south and northerly  directions. Approximately 60% of the current 3.2 kilometer mineralized body is  at or near surface before dipping at around 10 degrees to the east.</p>
<p>NI43-101 Resource Update: The third in a series of NI43-101 resource  updates is anticipated to be prepared by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. &#8220;SRK&#8221; in  Q2 of 2012. All available data up to February 28, 2012 will be given to SRK for  inclusion in the report. Given the drilling results to date it is anticipated  that SRK&#8217;s next report will show a substantial increase in the silver resource  at Sierra Mojada, as well as including a resource for the significant zinc  mineralization seen on the project.</p>
<p>Sample Analysis and QA/QC: All  samples have been analyzed at ALS Chemex in North Vancouver, BC, Canada. Samples  are first tested with the &#8220;ME-ICP41m&#8221; procedure which analyzes for 35 elements  using a near total aqua regia digestion. Samples with silver values above 100ppm  are re-analyzed using the Ag-GRA21 procedure which is a fire assay with a  gravimetric finish. Samples with zinc, lead, and copper values above 10,000ppm  (1%) are re-analyzed using the AA46 procedure which is a near total aqua regia  digestion with an atomic absorption finish.</p>
<p>A rigorous procedure is in  place regarding sample collection, chain of custody and data entry. Certified  standards and blanks, as well as duplicate samples are routinely inserted into  all sample shipments to ensure integrity of the assay process. The QA/QC of the  assay results has been contracted to IOGlobal, an international and independent  QA/QC and database management firm.</p>
<p>About Silver Bull: Silver Bull  is a well funded, US registered mineral exploration company listed on both the  NYSE Amex and TSX stock exchanges and based out of Vancouver, Canada. The flag  ship &#8220;Sierra Mojada&#8221; project is located 150 kilometers north of the city of  Torreon in Coahuila, Mexico and is highly prospective for silver and zinc.  Silver Bull also owns three mineral exploration licences in Gabon, Africa, two  of which are currently under joint venture with AngloGold Ashanti. These  licences are prospective for gold, manganese, and iron ore.</p>

<p>Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors  concerning estimates of Indicated and Inferred Resources: This press release  uses the terms &#8220;indicated resources&#8221; and &#8220;inferred resources&#8221; which are defined  in, and required to be disclosed by, NI 43-101. We advise U.S. investors that  these terms are not recognized by the United States Securities and Exchange  Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;). The estimation of indicated resources involves greater  uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation  of proven and probable reserves.  U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume  that indicated mineral resources will be converted into reserves. The estimation  of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and  economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources. U.S.  investors are cautioned not to assume that estimates of inferred mineral  resources exist, are economically minable, or will be upgraded into measured or  indicated mineral resources.  Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of  inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other  economic studies.</p>
<p>Disclosure of &#8220;contained ounces&#8221; in a resource is  permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations, however the SEC normally only  permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute &#8220;reserves&#8221; by  SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.  Accordingly, the information contained in this press release may not be  comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies that are not  subject NI 43-101.</p>
<p>Cautionary note regarding forward looking statements:  This news release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events  and Silver Bull&#8217;s future results that are subject to the safe harbors created  under the Securities Act of 1933 (the &#8220;Securities Act&#8221;) and the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 (the &#8220;Exchange Act&#8221;) and applicable Canadian securities  laws.  Forward-looking statements include statements regarding indicated and  inferred resource estimates, the anticipated scope and targets of future  drilling in the Shallow Silver Zone and Centenario Zone and the timing and  expected resource increase of Silver Bull&#8217;s next resource update.  These  statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and  projections about Silver Bull&#8217;s exploration projects, the industry in which  Silver Bull operates and the beliefs and assumptions of Silver Bull&#8217;s  management. Words such as &#8220;expects,&#8221; &#8220;anticipates,&#8221; &#8220;targets,&#8221; &#8220;goals,&#8221;  &#8220;projects,&#8221; &#8220;intends,&#8221; &#8220;plans,&#8221; &#8220;believes,&#8221; &#8220;seeks,&#8221; &#8220;estimates,&#8221; &#8220;continues,&#8221;  &#8220;may,&#8221; variations of such words, and similar expressions, are intended to  identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject  to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond  our control, including such factors as the results of exploration activities and  whether the results continue to support continued exploration activities,  unexpected variations in ore grade, types and metallurgy, volatility and level  of commodity prices, the availability of sufficient future financing, and other  matters discussed under the caption &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; in our Annual Report on Form  10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 and our other periodic and  current reports filed with the SEC and available on www.sec.gov and with the  Canadian securities commissions available on www.sedar.com.  Readers are  cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future  performance and that actual results or developments may differ materially from  those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Feb. 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#8212; TMNG Global  (Nasdaq:TMNG), a premier provider of professional services and software  solutions to the global leaders in the communications, digital media and  technology industries, today announced a game-changing development for wireless  carriers, their subscribers and device manufacturers with the first-ever mobile  device leasing solution – <em>Mobile Device Lease xChange </em>(MDLx). MDLx is a  third party administration (TPA) company that provides (1) a comprehensive and  integrated business and operating model for mobile device leasing; and (2) the  complete technology platform for lease administration and accounting.</p>
<p>&#8220;The economics of the mobile device market are complex and particularly  burdensome for carriers, who must offer the latest technology at affordable  price points. Escalating smartphone prices, higher subsidies absorbed by  carriers, market-driven caps on consumer upfront payments and regulatory  pressure to eliminate early termination fees – are all factors which contribute  to frustrations for carriers, subscribers and even the OEMs,&#8221; said Don Klumb,  TMNG Global&#8217;s CEO. &#8220;We think the market is ready for a viable smartphone leasing  option. MDLx provides a complete solution that enables carriers to dramatically  reduce their device subsidy obligations; provide subscribers access to the  latest device technology as it becomes available and on a more frequent basis;  and also benefits OEMs by decreasing their sales cycles by half and facilitating  development of new technology with less concern for carrier subsidy  constraints.&#8221;</p>
<p>Building upon TMNG&#8217;s proven business and operations support systems  capabilities, as well as its Ascertain® software suite and its acquisition of an  industry-proven TPA platform, MDLx has created an innovative, technology-based  ecosystem for managing the entire mobile device leasing program structure.  MDLx  enables efficient, end-to-end support for carriers&#8217; premises and billing  systems, and back-end lease aggregation and management platform, including  administration, finance, insurance, and handset recovery and redeployment  capabilities.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our experience with handset recapture models, including our own SmartXchange  offering, has proven that the rapidly advancing sophistication of smartphones  gives them attractive residual values,&#8221; said Tom Murphy, MDLx&#8217;s Chief Marketing  Officer.  &#8220;The ability to capture that residual value is the basis for  successful application of a lease model, and is what enables MDLx to pioneer an  offering that&#8217;s highly compelling for players throughout the smartphone food  chain. By designing an end-to-end, fully administered solution that addresses  the pain points of carriers, subscribers and OEMs, we think MDLx offers the  wireless industry a new option for dramatically improving its economic  model.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>About MDLx</strong></p>
<p>MDLx, a wholly-owned subsidiary of parent company, TMNG Global (Nasdaq:TMNG),  provides carriers with an end-to-end solution, <em>Mobile Device Lease  xChange</em>, that reduces the economic impact of handset subsidies, while  providing consumers with access to more frequent mobile device upgrade  opportunities.

<p>DUBLIN and RICHMOND, Calif., Feb. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ &#8212; Shire plc (LSE:  SHP, NASDAQ: SHPGY), the global specialty biopharmaceutical company, and Sangamo  BioSciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGMO), a leader in genome-editing technology,  announced today that they have entered into a collaboration and license  agreement to develop therapeutics for hemophilia and other monogenic diseases  based on Sangamo&#8217;s zinc finger DNA-binding protein (ZFP) technology.</p>
<p>Shire will receive exclusive world-wide rights to ZFP Therapeutics® designed  to target four genes (for blood clotting Factors VII, VIII, IX and X) which will  be used to investigate curative therapies for hemophilia A and B.  Shire also  receives the right to designate three additional gene targets.  Sangamo is  responsible for all activities through submission of Investigational New Drug  (IND) Applications and European Clinical Trial Applications (CTA) for each  product and Shire will reimburse Sangamo for its internal and external research  program-related costs. Shire is responsible for clinical development and  commercialization of products arising from the alliance.  Shire will pay Sangamo  $13 million upfront followed by research, regulatory, development and commercial  milestone payments, and royalties on product sales.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sangamo&#8217;s ground-breaking ZFP gene-editing technology will enable us to  expand our therapeutic pipeline into therapies for other genetic disorders such  as hemophilia,&#8221; said Sylvie Gregoire, president of Shire&#8217;s Human Genetic  Therapies business. &#8220;While still early in the clinical development process, this  DNA-binding protein technology is aligned with our focus of developing new  treatments that can add value for physicians, patients and their families, and  the healthcare community overall.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We are delighted to be partnering the first of our monogenic disease  programs with Shire, a company known for its development of innovative medicines  for genetic diseases,&#8221; said Edward Lanphier, Sangamo&#8217;s president and chief  executive officer. &#8220;This alliance is further validation of our ZFP platform as a  transformative technology for the development of novel therapeutics, which have  the potential to revolutionize the treatment of a wide range of genetic  diseases.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sangamo&#8217;s ZFP Therapeutic approach utilizes its proprietary ZFP nuclease  (ZFN) and ZFP transcription factor (ZFP TF) technology. ZFPs can be engineered  to recognize any specific DNA sequence within a gene, and may be applicable to  certain Shire therapeutic areas, including hematology and lysosomal storage  disorders.</p>
<p><strong>About Hemophilia</strong></p>
<p>Hemophilia, a rare bleeding disorder, is an example of a monogenic disease.  There are several types of hemophilia caused by mutations in genes that encode  factors which help the blood clot and stop bleeding when blood vessels are  injured.  The most prevalent form of the disease, hemophilia A, is caused by a  defect in clotting Factor VIII while defects in clotting Factor IX lead to  hemophilia B. The most severe forms of hemophilia affect males. According to the  National Hemophilia Foundation, hemophilia A occurs in about one in every 5,000  male births in the US, and hemophilia B in about 1 in every 25,000. The standard  treatment for individuals with hemophilia is replacement of the defective  clotting factor with regular infusion of concentrates or recombinant factors,  which are expensive, carry the risk of transmission of blood-borne diseases and  sometimes stimulate the body to produce antibodies against the factors that  inhibit the benefits of treatment.  In these situations, other clotting factors  such as Factor VII and X may be used to treat patients.</p>
<p>Using a mouse model of hemophilia B, Sangamo scientists and its collaborators  have already established proof of concept that ZFN-mediated genome editing can  be accomplished in vivo and is curative in the animal.  They have demonstrated  the production of stable levels of corrected human clotting Factor IX that are  clinically meaningful, restoring clotting times to normal, after a single,  systemic administration of ZFNs specific for the Factor IX gene.  The data were  published in the scientific journal <em>Nature</em> in June 2011 (<em>Nature. 2011  Jun 26; 475(7355):217-21. doi: 10.1038/nature10177</em>).</p>
<p><strong>SHIRE PLC</strong></p>
<p>Shire&#8217;s strategic goal is to become the leading specialty biopharmaceutical  company that focuses on meeting the needs of the specialist physician.  Shire  focuses its business on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, human genetic  therapies, gastrointestinal diseases and regenerative medicine as well as  opportunities in other therapeutic areas to the extent they arise through  acquisitions.  Shire&#8217;s in-licensing, merger and acquisition efforts are focused  on products in specialist markets with strong intellectual property protection  and global rights.  Shire believes that a carefully selected and balanced  portfolio of products with strategically aligned and relatively small-scale  sales forces will deliver strong results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SANTA ANA, Calif., Feb. 1, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#8212; <strong>Corinthian  Colleges, Inc.</strong> (Nasdaq:COCO) reported financial results today for the  second quarter ended December 31, 2011. The results for the quarter exceeded  previous guidance ranges for earnings per share and were within previous  guidance ranges for revenue and new student enrollment.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the second quarter we remained focused on student outcomes, balancing  expenses with current and projected enrollment, and improving the efficiency of  back-end operations,&#8221; said Jack Massimino, Corinthian Chairman and Chief  Executive Officer. &#8220;Our student attrition and graduate employment trends  continue to make incremental improvement, primarily the result of reducing the  risk profile of our students and our ongoing efforts to help students  succeed.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;As anticipated, the rate of decline in new student enrollment growth  improved significantly in the quarter,&#8221; Massimino said. &#8220;The improvement is the  result of several factors, including a less challenging comparable from the  second quarter last year, gradual stabilization in ground school new enrollments  and continued strong growth at Everest University Online. In the last half of  fiscal 2012, we expect new enrollments to be slightly positive.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;To help offset recent declines in student population, over the past 18  months we have reduced annualized operating expenses by approximately $150  million,&#8221; Massimino said. &#8220;We also continue to pursue several growth  initiatives, such as introducing new program offerings, opening new campuses,  and growing our exclusively online enrollments.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><em>Comparing the second quarter of fiscal 2012 with the same quarter  of the prior year</em></strong><em>:</em></p>
<ul>
<li>Net revenues were $415.5 million versus $481.7 million, a decrease of  13.7%.</li>
<li>The total student population at December 31, 2011 was 94,860 versus 105,210  at December 31, 2010, a decrease of 9.8%.</li>
<li>New student enrollments totaled 25,951 versus 26,758, a decrease of 3.0%.</li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Operating income was $10.0 million, excluding severance charges of $2.7  million, compared with operating income of $33.1 million, excluding impairment  and severance charges of $206.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal  2011.</li>
<li>Net income, excluding impairment and severance for both periods, was $3.4  million, compared with $19.1 million in the prior year.</li>
<li>Diluted earnings per share were $0.02 per share versus a diluted loss per  share of $(1.94). <em>Excluding</em> impairment and severance charges of $0.02 per  share in Q2 12 and $2.17 per share in Q2 11, diluted earnings per share were  $0.04 in Q2 12 versus $0.23 in Q2 11.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><em>Financial Review </em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Educational services expense</strong> decreased $33.0 million, or  11.4%, from $288.6 million in Q2 11 to $255.6 million in Q2 12. As a percent of  revenue, educational services expense increased from 59.9% in Q2 11 to 61.5% in  Q2 12. The increase as a percent of revenue is primarily due to an increase in  compensation and facilities expense, reflecting the fixed nature of these  expenses against a lower revenue base, partially offset by improvement in bad  debt expense.</p>
<p>Bad debt expense decreased to $14.6 million or 3.5% of net revenues for Q2 12  compared to $31.6 million or 6.6% of net revenues for Q2 11. The improvement in  bad debt expense is primarily the result of continued efficiencies in packaging  students with financial aid as a result of bringing processing in-house.</p>
<p><strong>Marketing and admissions expenses</strong> decreased $2.0 million, or  1.9%, from $106.0 million in Q2 11 to $104.0 million in Q2 12. As a percent of  revenue, marketing and admissions increased from 22.0% in Q2 11 to 25.0% in Q2  12. The increase as a percent of revenue is primarily attributable to a lower  revenue base.</p>
<p><strong>General and administrative expenses</strong> decreased $8.2 million,  or 15.2% from $54.0 million in Q2 11 to $45.8 million in Q2 12. As a percent of  revenue, G&amp;A decreased from 11.2% in Q2 11 to 11.0% in Q2 12. The decrease  reflects the company&#8217;s cost reduction initiatives.</p>
<p><strong>Impairment and severance charges </strong>– During the second  quarter, we recorded severance charges of $2.7 million.</p>
<p>The <strong>operating margin</strong>, excluding the impairment, facility  closing and severance charges in both time periods, was 2.4% in Q2 12 versus  6.9% in Q2 11. The decline is primarily the result of lower enrollment in the  ground schools, and fixed compensation and facilities expenses against a lower  revenue base.</p>
<p><strong>Cash and cash equivalents </strong>totaled $38.4 million at December  31, 2011, compared with $107.4 million at June 30, 2011. The decrease results  from the repayment of debt, partially offset by cash flows from operations.</p>
<p><strong>Total debt and capital leases</strong> were $135.3 million at  December 31, 2011, compared with $331.8 million at June 30, 2011.</p>
<p><strong>Cash flow from operations </strong>was $137.2 million in the first  six months of fiscal 2012, versus $4.0 million in the same period last year. The  increase in cash flow is primarily related to the timing of cash payments and  receipts related to working capital.</p>
<p><strong>Capital expenditures</strong> were $20.1 million for the first six  months of fiscal 2012, versus $65.8 million in the same period last year. The  decrease is primarily the result of opening fewer new  campuses.   <strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Other</em></strong></p>
<p>The company has signed a definitive agreement for the sale-leaseback of five  of its Heald College facilities. The transaction is expected to generate  proceeds of approximately $40 million, and close in mid-February, subject to  customary closing conditions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TIANJIN, CHINA &#8212; (Marketwire) &#8212; 01/30/12 &#8212; <em>China Auto Logistics  Inc.</em> (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) (NASDAQ: CALI), one of China&#8217;s leading developers of  websites for buyers and sellers of imported and domestic automobiles, a top  seller in China of imported luxury cars, and a leading provider of auto-related  services, announced today a series of agreements with several leading Chinese  banks and insurers which it expects will permit further rapid expansion of its  auto-related services businesses, including a new service of providing auto  insurance to individual consumers and dealers.</p>
<p><em>Cooperation Agreement with Five Leading Auto Insurers</em></p>
<p>The Company reported it has now concluded cooperation agreements with five of  the leading auto insurance providers in China under which the Company will be  qualified to offer automobile insurance to purchasers of automobiles in its auto  mall, the largest imported luxury auto mall in Tianjin.</p>
<p>&#8220;Auto insurance is particularly important to buyers of the luxury cars we  sell,&#8221; stated Mr. Tong Shiping, CEO and Chairman of the Company, &#8220;and we now  will be able to offer the very best insurance packages to our customers. We see  this as an excellent addition to the &#8216;one stop services&#8217; we currently provide  and further expect it will attract new customers and help boost our luxury auto  sales in this very strong market.&#8221; Mr. Tong noted discussions regarding final  details on how to best execute the agreements with each insurer are in progress  and the new service is expected to be launched shortly.</p>
<p><em>Increased Support from Three Leading Banks</em></p>
<p>The Company also announced an expansion of its cooperation with three leading  Chinese banks which it expects will lead to the further strengthening and growth  of its auto-related services.</p>
<ul>
<li>Under an agreement reached with Bank of China (BOC), one of China&#8217;s four  largest state-owned commercial banks, the Company will soon offer its luxury  auto customers the option of installment buying.</li>
<li>Through an agreement developed with China Merchant Bank (CMB), the Company  will soon establish an electronic payment platform which, among other things,  will help the Company manage cash flow more efficiently.</li>
<li>Agricultural Bank of China has agreed to grant the Company a credit line of  RMB 960 million (approximately $152 million) which by itself would represent an  approximate doubling of the Company&#8217;s current aggregate credit line with several  domestic banks.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>An Opportunity to Expand </em></p>
<p>Commenting further on these developments, Mr. Tong stated, &#8220;Our expanded  credit lines, the new cooperation with BOC and CMB, and our new insurance  services business in cooperation with five of China&#8217;s leading insurers,  absolutely places us in a much stronger position to offer our auto related  services to more dealer customers and consumers, as well as the opportunity to  expand our business to a wider marketplace throughout China.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>About China Auto Logistics Inc. </em></p>
<p>China Auto Logistics Inc. operates www.cali.com.cn, one of the leading  automobile portals for car dealers and consumers of vehicles and auto-related  services in China. Additionally, it is one of China&#8217;s top sellers of luxury  imported cars and a leading developer of websites for buyers and sellers of  imported and domestic automobiles.
