For
Immediate Release
China
Education Alliance Inc.'s Wholly-owned Subsidiary Invests in New Media Joint
Venture Company to Gain Additional Distribution Channel for Educational
Content
Harbin,
Heilongjiang Province, China - July 9, 2008
- China
Education Alliance, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CEUA.OB) ("China Education
Alliance" or "the Company"), a leading distributor of educational resources,
offering high-quality programs and training both through online networks
and an
on-site training center in China, today announced that its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Harbin Zhong He Li Da Education Technology, Inc. ("Harbin ZHLD")
invested in a joint venture company, Harbin New Discovery Media Co., Ltd.
("Harbin Media"), with Harbin Daily Newspaper Group ("Harbin
Daily").
Harbin
Media was incorporated on June 8, 2008 with registered capital in the amount
of
$875,000. China Education Alliance's Harbin ZHLD contributed approximately
$430,000 in cash for a 49.02% equity interest in Harbin Media. Harbin Daily
contributed approximately $445,000 towards the registered capital for a 50.98%
equity interest. Harbin ZHLD will cooperate with Harbin Daily to run the
newspaper, "Scientific Discovery" under the joint venture. The transaction
closed on July 7, 2008.
"Scientific
Discovery" was established in October 2001 to popularize scientific information
and knowledge with Chinese citizens, and it has won strong brand recognition
and
a loyal readership in Heilongjiang province. In 2007, the "Scientific Discovery"
circulation per week rose to approximately 60,000 sets, which generated total
revenues of $1.1 million during the year.
Harbin
Daily has assigned all its rights in "Scientific Discovery" exclusively to the
joint venture company. China Education Alliance's Harbin ZHLD subsidiary plans
to publish this newspaper twice per week, and expand distribution of the
publication on a national basis. The first publication will target primary
and
middle school students by providing pertinent and authoritative after-school
tutorship materials, which will be synchronized with students' syllabi. The
educational materials will be prepared by top-ranked educational experts
and
professors. The second publication will target the general population by
providing scientific information and guidance in daily life.
"We
are
excited about the opportunity presented by Harbin Media. "Scientific Discovery"
is a high quality educational media distribution platform, which creates
an
additional channel to provide educational materials in readable newspaper
form,
besides the Company's online and on-site channels. In addition, by cooperating
with Harbin Daily we will have access to their expertise, resources and
relationships to further facilitate the newspaper's market penetration. In turn,
we should benefit from expansion of our business, as well as improve our
brand
recognition in China as the newspaper expands nationwide", commented Mr. Xiqun
Yu, Chairman and CEO of China Education Alliance, "The newspaper should serve to
promote the China Education Alliance brand while minimizing advertising expenses
to facilitate our nationwide expansion, win the long-term loyalty of readers,
as
well as generate considerable revenue at the same time. By the end of 2009,
we
expect the weekly newspaper sales volumes to reach up to 150,000 sets, and
to
generate $3.6 million in total revenues during 2009 as the increased circulation
should enable us to command greater advertising rates".
