The longer days sales outstanding ("DSO") in the first quarter of 2012 as compared to that for the fourth quarter of 2011 was attributable to: 1) a change to gross revenues, as a result of the value-added tax implemented in the advertising industry in Shanghai since January 1, 2012; and 2) seasonally slower cash collection at the beginning of the year

- Cash used for repurchasing shares in the first quarter of 2012 was $6.0 million.
Jason Jiang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Focus Media said, "In the first quarter of 2012, our year-on-year revenue growth was mainly driven by the strength of our poster frame and in-store networks due to their exposure to promotion spending budgets which tend to be less affected by macroeconomic uncertainty, mitigating slower growth of our LCD network which was affected by cut back on branding budgets, which tend to be impacted by macroeconomic uncertainties. We have since second quarter of 2012 seen some form of stabilization in the advertising environment including branding spending, despite we have yet to see return to normalization. We remain confident and will continue to strive to achieve our business objectives for the year."
Kit Low, the Company Chief Financial Officer added, "We continue to register gross margin expansion for the Company on a year-on-year basis, which was helped by diversification of our revenue sources from our various business lines.In the first quarter of 2012, the Company achieved aggregate net revenue year-on-year growth in our LCD display, poster frame business, in-store and movie theater network of 35%. GAAP net income attributable to Focus Media and Non-GAAP net income attributable to Focus Media for the first quarter of 2012 was $37.9 million and $61.6 million, respectively.In the first quarter of 2012, the Company generated a net cash inflow from operating activities after deducting the purchases of equipment and subsidiaries of $38.5 million."
First Quarter 2012 financial results
Advertising net revenue from the LCD display network was $87.6 million for the first quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 6% from $82.5 million for the first quarter of 2011.The slower year-on-year growth as compared to previous quarters was mainly driven by a combination of macro-economic uncertainty and an earlier Chinese Lunar New Year which we believe pulled some of the otherwise first quarter 2012 advertising budget into fourth quarter of 2011. It also represented a decrease of 36% from $137.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 due to seasonality and we believe also magnified by an earlier Chinese Lunar New Year.
Advertising net revenue from the poster frame network was $65.7 million for the first quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 82% from $36.1 million for the first quarter of 2011 which was driven by the strength of promotional budget spending in the market as well as a more stabilized competitive environment of the poster frame business.

Advertising net revenue from the in-store network was $12.7 million for the first quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 34% from $9.5 million for the first quarter of 2011 and a decrease of 21% from $16.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 due to seasonality.
Advertising net revenue from the movie theater network was $18.4 million for the first quarter of 2012, more than doubling the $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2011 which was attributable to robust growth of Chinese box office as well as robust execution by the business division.It also represented a decrease of 11% from $20.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 due to seasonal factors.
Advertising net revenue from the traditional outdoor billboard network was $15.3 million for the first quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 46% from $10.5 million for the first quarter of 2011 which was primarily helped by the revenue consolidated from the four subsidiaries acquired in the second half of 2011.It also represented a decrease of 13% from $17.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 which was due to seasonality.
Non-GAAP gross profit from the LCD display network for the first quarter of 2012 was $62.6 million, a slight decrease of 2% from $64.2 million for the first quarter of 2011 which was attributable to an increase in the expenses associated with interactive screens including depreciation, and labor expenses as well as rental expenses due to footprint expansion.It also represented a decrease of 45% from $113.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 which was mainly due to quarter-on-quarter revenue decline.
Non-GAAP gross profit from the poster frame network for the first quarter of 2012 was $36.5 million, more than tripling the $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2011 due to significant year-on-year growth of revenues, and representing a slight increase of 2% from $35.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP operating expenses for the first quarter of 2012 was $47.3 million, an increase of 28% from $37.0 million for the first quarter of 2011, which was mainly attributable to an increase in selling and marketing expenses resulting from revenue growth. It also represented a decrease of 24% from $64.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 which was also attributable to a decrease in selling and marketing expenses in line with the seasonal revenue decline.
In the first quarter of 2012, the provision for income taxes included withholding tax amounting to $2.3 million, which was accrued based on the expected amount of dividend to be distributed from the domestic operating arm to our offshore holding company, which is subject to PRC's withholding tax rate of 10%.
