感谢Carolyne,欢迎大家。总结第二财季,ATA因我们一项主要考试的时间安排而面临挑战。但在从纸笔考试向机考持续转型的过程中,我们在提供新考试方面取得了重大进展,扩大了投资,并寻求通过在中国新三板上市来最大化我们的估值。我们仍有望实现之前提供的所有财务指标指引。今天,我将概述运营和财务亮点,然后简要讨论2016财年的展望。我将从第5页开始,其中列出了我们的一些运营亮点。在2016年第二季度,我们交付了约170万次计费考试,而去年同期约为300万次。下降的主要原因是CPA考试时间安排的变化,该考试在2015财年第二季度举行,并由ATA在2015年10月(即2015年第三季度)连续第四年交付。我们很高兴地报告,今年的考试量创下纪录,超过了去年在中国交付的160万次考试。我们在本季度交付了新设立的基金从业人员认证考试。这是一项新考试,扩展了我们与中国证券业协会的关系。在第二季度,我们还与招商银行签订了新合同,ATA将开始管理其校园招聘考试。我们继续努力获取新业务,进展迅速。其产品供应和过往记录将逐步在我们的核心考试服务业务中产生积极成果。9月,我们还宣布了对Brilent Inc.的新战略投资,这是一家位于硅谷的易用软件工具提供商,利用机器学习、分析和数据科学的进步来革新招聘人员筛选求职者的方式。Brilent同样允许招聘人员在几分钟内处理大量申请者。我们相信Brilent已创造出最先进、最有效的技术之一,以应对当前招聘市场面临的挑战,并期待与Brilent团队密切合作,深化我们对数据分析和人力资源或招聘流程的理解。9月底,我们的全资子公司ATA在线向全国中小企业股份转让系统提交了在新三板上市的申请,目前我们正在接受审查,该过程迄今进展顺利。接下来看2016年第二季度的财务亮点,如第6页所示,我们报告净收入为5340万元人民币,符合我们对该期间的净收入指引范围。我们2016年第二季度的收入受到CPA考试时间安排变化的影响,该考试在2015年第二季度举行,但今年推迟了一个季度,在2016年第三季度举行。由于本季度为政府和公司客户交付了新考试,我们实现了稳定的收入增长,这有助于抵消CPA考试时间变化带来的季度波动。2016年第二季度的毛利率保持稳定,为45.6%,而上一财季为45.4%。在强劲的财年开局之后,公司重申了之前公布的2016年净收入和非GAAP净利润指引,我将在本次电话会议稍后详细讨论。在下一页,我们按业务细分了2016年第二季度的收入,可大致分为两个领域:考试服务和考试准备与培训解决方案。考试服务占2016年第二季度收入的约84.5%。在下一页,我们提供了公司第二季度财务结果的摘要。毛利润为2440万元人民币(380万美元),而去年同期为4650万元人民币。如前所述,增长主要是由于CPA考试时间安排的变化。公司报告净亏损1410万元人民币(约220万美元),而去年同期净利润为880万元人民币。2016年第二季度每ADS摊薄亏损为0.62元人民币(0.10美元),而去年同期每ADS摊薄收益为0.38元人民币。在第9页,我们提供了2016财年上半年公司财务结果的摘要。毛利润为7850万元人民币(1240万美元),而去年同期为9400万元人民币。2016年上半年的毛利率从2015年上半年的50.3%上升至32%。2016年上半年净亏损为790万元人民币(120万美元),每ADS摊薄亏损为0.34元人民币(0.06美元),而去年同期净利润为1340万元人民币。在第10页,我们提供了调整了股权激励费用和外汇损益后的季度数据补充图表。剔除这些项目,2016年第二季度调整后净亏损为1060万元人民币(170万美元),而去年同期调整后净利润为1100万元人民币。2016年第二季度非GAAP基础上的每ADS摊薄亏损为0.46元人民币(0.08美元),而去年同期每ADS摊薄收益为0.48元人民币。2016年上半年调整后净亏损为70万元人民币,而去年同期调整后净利润为1980万元人民币,非GAAP基础上的每ADS摊薄亏损为0.04元人民币。我们继续得到自由现金流和稳健资产负债表的支持,这已在第11页突出显示。截至2015年9月30日,我们拥有约3390万美元的现金及现金等价物。我们没有长期债务或短期借款,并继续遵循过去几年为我们服务良好的精简成本结构。2015年9月,公司延续了通过回购和特别股息回馈股东的稳定传统,同意在公开市场和私下协商交易中不时回购最多300万美元的已发行ADS。截至2016年11月6日,公司已回购114,767份ADS,平均股价为3.43美元。该股票回购计划有效期至2016年3月31日。如第12页所示,我们预计第三季度2016年净收入将在1.95亿至2.05亿元人民币之间。我们预计2016年全年净收入将在3.6亿至3.8亿元人民币之间,非GAAP净利润指引将在2800万至3800万元人民币之间。请注意,该指引基于我们自己的内部预测,我们将持续评估我们的预测。接下来,我想请我们的董事长兼首席执行官Kevin Ma先生详细介绍我们的增长战略和2016财年的展望。

Thank you, Carolyne and welcome everyone. To summarize the fiscal second quarter, ATA encountered challenges due to the timing of one of our major exams. But made great strides in delivering new exams as part of the ongoing shift from paper base testing to computer based testing, expanding our investments and seeking to maximize our valuation through a listing on the new Third Board in China. We remain on track to meet all of the financial metrics we previously provided as guidance. Today, I will provide an overview of this operating and financial highlight and then briefly discuss our outlook for fiscal year 2016. I will begin on slide 5, which lists some of our operating highlights. During second quarter 2016, we delivered approximately 1.7 million billable tests, which compares to approximately 3.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to the change in timing of the CPA exam, which took place in the fiscal 2015 second quarter and was delivered by ATA for the fourth consecutive year in October 2015 or third quarter [2015]. We are pleased to report that this year’s exam saw record volumes surpassing last years’ 1.6 million exams delivered across China. We delivered the newly instituted from Fund Practitioners Certification Exam during the quarter. This is a new exam that expands upon our relationship with the Securities Association of China. During the second quarter, we also entered in to a new contract with China Merchants Bank whereby ATA will begin administering its campus recruitment exam. We continue working to secure new business and are coming through fast. It is offering and past [records] will gradually yield positive results in our core testing services business. In September, we also announced a new strategy investment in Brilent Inc., a Silicon Valley based provider of easy-to-use software tool that utilizes advances in machine learning, analytics and data science to revolutionize the way recruiters screen job candidates. Brilent too allows recruiters to string high volume of applicants in minutes. We believe Brilent has created one of the most advanced and effective technologies to adjust the current challenges facing the recruitment market and look forward to working closely with the Brilent team as we deepen our understanding of data analytics and the HR or recruitment process. At the end of September, our wholly owned subsidiary ATA Online submitted its application to the National Equities Exchange and Quotations to list on the New Third Board, and we are currently undergoing that review process which has proceeded smoothly thus far. Moving on to our financial highlights for second quarter 2016 as shown on slide 6, we report net revenues of RMB53.4 million and meet our net revenue guidance range for the period. Our revenues for second quarter 2016 were impacted by the change in timing of the CPA Exam, which took place in second quarter 2015, but took place a quarter later this year in third quarter 2016. As a result of delivering new exams for our government and corporate clients for the quarter, we achieved steady topline growth, which helped to offset a lumpy quarter with the CPA Exam change in timing. Gross margin remained steady at 45.6% for second quarter 2016, compared to 45.4% in the prior fiscal quarter. Following a strong fiscal [fresh start], the company is reiterating its previously announced net revenue and non-GAAP net income guidance for the year 2016, which I will discuss in further detail later on this call. On the next slide, we breakout revenues for second quarter 2016 by our businesses which can be broken down broadly in to two areas; testing services and test preparation and training solutions. Testing services accounted for about 84.5% of our revenues in second quarter 2016. On the next slide we provide a printout of the company’s financial results for the second quarter. Gross profit was RMB24.4 million, US$3.8 million compared to RMB46.5 million in the prior year period. As mentioned before, the increase was primarily a result of the change in timing of the CPA exams. The company reported a net loss of RMB14.1 million or about US$2.2 million compared to net income of RMB8.8 million in the prior year period. Diluted losses per ADS were RMB0.62 or $0.10 in second quarter 2016 compared to diluted earnings per ADS of RMB0.38 in the prior year period. On slide 9, we provide a summary on the company’s financial result for the first half of fiscal year 2016. Gross profit was RMB78.5 million, US$12.4 million compared to RMB94 million in the prior year period. Gross margin for the first half 2016 increased to 32% from 50.3% in first half 2015. Net loss was RMB7.9 million US$1.2 million for the first half 2016 or diluted losses per ADS of RMB0.34, US$0.06 compared to net income of RMB13.4 million in the prior year period. On slide 10, we provide a supplemental chart of quarterly numbers adjusted for the share based compensation expense and foreign currency gain or losses. Excluding these items, adjusted net loss for second quarter 2016 was RMB10.6 million or US$1.7 million compared to adjusted net income of RMB11 million in the prior year period. Diluted losses per ADS during second quarter 2016 on a non-GAAP basis were RMB0.46, US$0.08, compared to the diluted earnings per ADS of RMB0.48 in the prior year period. Adjusted net loss for first half 2016 was RMB0.7 million compared to adjusted net income of RMB19.8 million in the prior year period, and the diluted losses per ADS on a non-GAAP basis was RMB0.04. We continue to be supported by free cash flow and a solid balance sheet, which we’ve highlighted on slide 11. As of September 30, 2015, we had about US$33.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. We have no long term debt or short term borrowings, and continue to follow the straight cost structure that has served us well over the past several years. In September 2015, the company continues a steady tradition of giving back to its shareholders through repurchases in special dividends by [offering] their agreed purchase of up to US$3 million as it issued an outstanding ADS from time to time in open markets and privately negotiate (inaudible) conception. By November 6, 2016 the company had repurchased 114,767 ADS at an average stock price of US$3.43. This share repurchase plan is in effect until March 31, 2016. As shown on slide 12, we expect third quarter to double ’16 net revenues will be in the range of RMB195 million to RMB205 million. We expect second year 2016 net revenues to be between RMB360 million and RMB380 million and non-GAAP net income guidance to be between RMB28 million and RMB38 million. Please keep in mind that the guidance is based on our own internal projection, and we will continue to evaluate our projections on an ongoing basis. With that I’d like to turn it over to our Chairman and CEO, Mr. Kevin Ma to provide some more detail on our growth strategy and the outlook for fiscal year 2016.
