Financial Information Related to the VIE Structures, page 5
3.Please address the following as it relates to your condensed consolidating schedules:
•Present amounts due to/due from between the VIEs and the parent company and the
VIEs and the WFOE separately from any amounts due to/due from between the
parent, WFOE and their equity owned subsidiaries.
•Tell us in what line item you include the investment in equity owned subsidiaries and
net assets of the VIEs and revise to include each of these amounts in separate line
items clearly distinguishing the equity-owned investments from the VIE contractual
arrangements.
•Similarly, clarify where you have included any share of income (loss) of the VIEs
and revise to disclose such amounts in a separate line item to avoid any implication
that the VIE arrangements are similar to an equity method investment.
•Present any revenue and costs and expenses related to service fees paid by the VIEs
to the WFOE and/or parent company separately from the other costs and expenses of
the VIEs.
