The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2008 was 2%, decreased from 7% in the same period of 2007 and 17% in the previous quarter, primarily because certain qualified PRC subsidiaries of Ctrip obtained approval for the High and New Technology Enterprise ("HNTE") status in the fourth quarter.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement Ctrip's unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Ctrip uses non-GAAP financial information related to product development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, income from operations, operating margin, net income, and diluted earnings per ordinary share and per ADS, each of which is adjusted from the most comparable GAAP result to exclude the share-based compensation charges recorded under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 123R, "Share-Based Payment", for 2008 and 2007. Ctrip's management believes the non-GAAP financial measures facilitate better understanding of operating results from quarter to quarter and provides the management better capability to plan and forecast future periods.
The non-GAAP information is not in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered a substitute for the GAAP results. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation charges that have been and will continue to be significant recurring expenses in our business for the foreseeable future.
Reconciliations of Ctrip's non-GAAP financial data to the most comparable GAAP data included in the consolidated statement of operations are included at the end of this press release.
