The VIE arrangements

PRC regulations currently limit direct foreign ownership of business entities providing value-added telecommunications services, online advertising services, online game and internet services in the PRC where certain licenses are required for the provision of such services. To comply with these PRC regulations, the Company currently conducts substantially all of its businesses through two VIEs and their respective subsidiaries including Qianxiang Tiancheng and Renren Games. Qianxiang Tiancheng is mainly engaged in the provision of online advertising and IVAS. Renren Games is primarily engaged in the provision of online gaming.

Qianxiang Shiji, a wholly owned subsidiary of CIAC ("WFOE"), Renren Network, a wholly owned subsidiary of Game HK ("WFOE"), entered into a series of contractual arrangements with the VIEs that enable the Company to (1) have power to direct the activities that most significantly affects the economic performance of the VIEs, and (2) receive the economic benefits of the VIEs that could be significant to the VIEs. Accordingly, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and has consolidated the VIEs' financial results of operations, assets and liabilities in the Company's consolidated financial statements. In making the conclusion that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, the Company believes the Company's rights under the terms of the exclusive option agreement and power of attorney are substantive given the substantive participating rights held by Softbank as it relates to operating matters, which provide it with a substantive kick out right.

More specifically, the Company believes the terms of the contractual agreements are valid, binding and enforceable under PRC laws and regulations currently in effect. In particular the Company also believes that the minimum amount of consideration permitted by the applicable PRC law to exercise the exclusive option does not represent a financial barrier or disincentive for the Company to currently exercise its rights under the exclusive option agreement. A simple majority vote of the Company's board of directors is required to pass a resolution to exercise the Company's rights under the exclusive option agreement, for which Mr. Joe Chen's consent is not required. The Company's rights under the exclusive option agreement give the Company the power to control the shareholders of the VIEs and thus the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact VIEs' economic performance. In addition, the Company's rights under the powers of attorney also reinforce the Company's abilities to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs' economic performance. The Company also believes that this ability to exercise control ensures that the VIEs will continue to execute and renew service agreements and pay service fees to the Company. By charging service fees in whatever amounts the Company deems fit, and by ensuring that service agreements are executed and renewed indefinitely, the Company has the rights to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs.

The VIEs hold the requisite licenses and permits necessary to conduct the Company's business.

The contractual agreements below provide the Company with the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIEs and enable the Company to receive substantially all of economic benefits and absorb the losses of the VIEs.

(1)

Power of Attorney: WFOEs hold irrevocable power of attorney executed by the legal owners of the VIEs to exercise their voting rights on, including but not limited to dividend declaration, all matters at meetings of the legal owners of the VIEs and through such power of attorney has the right to control the operations of the VIEs. The power of attorney for Qianxiang Tiancheng will remain in force for ten years until December 22, 2020, and will be automatically renewed upon the extension of the terms of the relevant business operations agreements until the earlier of the following events: (i) nominee loses his/her position in WFOEs or WFOEs issue a written notice to dismiss or replace nominee; and (ii) the business operations agreements among WFOEs, VIEs and VIEs' shareholders terminate or expire. The power of attorney for Renren Games became effective on November 30, 2012 and will remain effective as long as Renren Games exist. Neither of the shareholders of Renren Games has the right to terminate or revoke the power of attorney without the prior written consent of Renren Network.

(2)

Business Operations Agreement: The business operations agreements specifically and explicitly grant WFOEs the principal operating decision making rights, such as appointment of the directors and executive management, of the VIEs.

The terms of the business operations agreements are ten years and will be extended automatically for another ten years unless WFOEs provide a 30-day advance written notice to VIEs and to each of VIEs' shareholders requesting not to extend the term three months prior to the expiration dates of December 22, 2020 and November 29, 2022, respectively. Neither VIEs nor any of VIEs' shareholders may terminate the agreements during the terms or the extensions of the terms.

(3)

Exclusive Equity Option Agreement: Under the exclusive equity option agreement, the WFOEs have the exclusive right to purchase the equity interests of the VIEs from the registered legal equity owners as far as PRC regulations permit a transfer of legal ownership to foreign ownership. The WFOEs can exercise the purchase right at any portion and any time in the 10-year agreement period.

Without the WFOEs' consent, VIEs' shareholders shall not transfer, donate, pledge, or otherwise dispose their equity shareholdings in VIEs in any way. The equity option agreement will remain in full force and effect until the earlier of: (i) the date on which all of the equity interests in VIEs have been acquired by the respective WFOE or its designated representative(s); or (ii) the receipt of the 30-day advance written termination notice issued by the respective WFOE to the shareholders of VIEs. The term of these agreements will be automatically renewed upon the extension of the term of the relevant exclusive equity option agreement.

(4)

Spousal Consent Agreement: The spouse of each of the shareholders of Qianxiang Tiancheng acknowledged that certain equity interests of Qianxiang Tiancheng held by and registered in the name of his/her spouse will be disposed of pursuant to the equity option agreements. These spouses understand that such equity interests are held by their respective spouse on behalf of Qianxiang Shiji, and they will not take any action to interfere with the disposition of such equity interests, including, without limitation, claiming that such equity interests constitute communal property of marriage.

The spouse of each of the shareholders of Renren Games has acknowledged that certain equity interests of Renren Games, held by and registered in the name of his/her spouse will be disposed of pursuant to the loan agreement, equity option agreement and equity interest pledge agreement of which they are respectively a party, and they will not take any action to interfere with such arrangement, including claiming that such equity interests constitute property or communal property between his/her spouse and himself/herself.

(5)

Exclusive Technical and Consulting Services Agreement: The WFOEs and registered shareholders irrevocably agree that the WFOEs shall be the exclusive technology service provider to the VIEs in return for a service fee which is determined at the sole discretion of the WFOEs.

The term of each of agreement is ten years and will be extended automatically for another ten years unless terminated by the WFOEs. The WFOEs can terminate the agreement at any time by providing a 30-day prior written notice. VIEs are not permitted to terminate the agreements prior to the expiration of the terms by December 22, 2020 and November 29, 2022, unless the WFOEs fail to comply with any of its obligations under this agreement and such breach makes the WFOEs unable to continue to perform this agreement.

(6)

Intellectual Property License Agreement: The WFOEs and registered shareholders agree that the WFOEs shall have the exclusive right to license its intellectual property rights to VIEs in return for a license fee. The license fee is determined at the discretion of the Company. The term of these agreements will be automatically renewed upon the extension of the term of the relevant intellectual property license agreement.

The term of the agreement will be extended for another five years with both parties' consents. The WFOEs may terminate the agreement at any time by providing a 30-day prior written notice. Any party may terminate the agreement immediately with written notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches the relevant agreement and fails to cure its breach within 30 days from the date it receives the written notice specifying its breach from the non-breaching party. The parties will review the agreement every three months and determine if any amendment is needed.

(7)

Loan Agreements: Under loan agreements between WFOE and each of the shareholders of the respective VIEs, WFOE made interest-free loans to the shareholders of exclusively for the purpose of the initial capitalization and the subsequent financial needs of the VIEs. The loans can only be repaid with the proceeds derived from the sale of all of the equity interests in VIE to WFOE or its designated representatives pursuant to the equity option agreements. The term of each of these loans is ten years from the actual drawing down of such loans by the shareholders of VIE, and will be automatically extended for another ten years unless a written notice to the contrary is given by WFOE to the shareholders of VIE three months prior to the expiration of the loan agreements.

(8)

Equity Interest Pledge Agreement: Shareholders of the VIEs have pledged all of their equity interests in the VIEs with their respective WFOEs and the WFOEs are entitled to certain rights to sell the pledged equity interests through auction or other means if the VIEs or the shareholders default in their obligations under other above-stated agreements.

These agreements are substantially the same, and that the equity interest pledge has become effective and will expire on the earlier of: (i) the date on which the VIE and its shareholders have fully performed their obligations under the loan agreements, the exclusive technical service agreement, the intellectual property right license agreement and the equity option agreements; (ii) the enforcement of the pledge by WFOE pursuant to the terms and conditions under this agreement to fully satisfy its rights under such agreements; or (iii) the completion of the transfer of all equity interests of VIE by the shareholders of VIE to another individual or legal entity designated by WFOE pursuant to the equity option agreement and no equity interest of VIE is held by such shareholders.

Risks in relation to the VIE structure

The Company and the Company's legal counsel believe that Qianxiang Shiji's, and Renren Network's contractual arrangements with the VIEs are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company's ability to enforce these contractual arrangements and if the shareholders of the VIE were to reduce their interest in the Company, their interests may diverge from that of the Company and that may potentially increase the risk that they would seek to act contrary to the contractual terms, for example by influencing the VIEs not to pay the service fees when required to do so. If the legal structure and contractual arrangements were found to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations, the PRC government could:

•

Revoke the business and operating licenses of the WFOEs, the VIEs and their subsidiaries;

•

Discontinue or restrict the operations of any related-party transactions among the WFOEs, the VIEs and their subsidiaries;

•

Impose fines or other requirements on the WFOEs, the VIEs and their subsidiaries;

•

Require the Company or the WFOEs, the VIEs and their subsidiaries to revise the relevant ownership structure or restructure operations; and/or

•

Restrict or prohibit the Company's use of the proceeds of the additional public offering to finance the Company's business and operations in China.

The Company's ability to conduct its business including online advertising, online game, online talent show, other internet value added services and social commerce services (discontinued after the Company's deconsolidation of Nuomi in October 2013) may be negatively affected if the PRC government were to carry out any of the aforementioned actions. As a result, the Company may not be able to consolidate the VIEs and the VIEs' subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements as it may lose the ability to exert effective control over the VIEs and the VIEs' subsidiaries and shareholders, and it may lose the ability to receive economic benefits from the VIEs and the VIEs' subsidiaries.

Certain shareholders of the VIEs are also shareholders of the Company. The interests of the shareholders of the VIEs may diverge from that of the Company and that may potentially increase the risk that they would seek to act contrary to the contractual terms, for example by influencing the VIEs not to pay the service fees when required to do so. The Company cannot assure that when conflicts of interest arise, shareholders of the VIEs will act in the best interests of the Company or that conflicts of interests will be resolved in the Company's favor. Currently, the Company does not have existing arrangements to address potential conflicts of interest the shareholders of the VIEs may encounter in their capacity as beneficial owners and directors of the VIEs. The Company believes the shareholders of the VIEs will not act contrary to any of the contractual arrangements and the exclusive option agreements provide the Company with a mechanism to remove the current shareholders of the VIEs as beneficial shareholders of the VIEs should they act to the detriment of the Company. The Company relies on the current shareholders of VIEs whom also are directors and executive officers of the Company, to fulfill their fiduciary duties and abide by laws of Cayman Islands and act in the best interest of the Company or that conflicts will be resolved in our favor. If the Company cannot resolve any conflicts of interest or disputes between the Company and the shareholders of the VIEs, the Company would have to rely on legal proceedings, which could result in disruption of its business, and there is substantial uncertainty as to the outcome of any such legal proceedings.

The Company's ability to control the VIEs also depends on the power of attorney that Qianxiang Shiji and Renren Network have to vote on all matters requiring shareholder approval in the VIEs. As noted above, the Company believes this power of attorney is legally enforceable but may not be as effective as direct equity ownership.

The following financial statement balances and amounts of the Company's VIEs were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions between the offshore companies, WFOEs, VIEs and VIEs' subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2013 and 2014, the balance of the amount payable by the VIEs and their subsidiaries to the WFOEs related to the service fees were $nil and $2,264, respectively and was eliminated upon consolidation.

The VIEs contributed an aggregate of 98.6%, 96.6% and 94.5% of the consolidated net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The VIEs hold domain names, trade mark and various licenses, including value-added telecommunications business operating license, ICP license, BBS Permits and Audio/Video Program Transmission License, etc., upon which the Company's business depends. A substantial majority of the Company's employees that provide the Company's services are hired by the VIEs, and the VIEs lease a substantial majority of the properties where the Company's services are delivered. As of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, the VIEs accounted for an aggregate of 11.7% and 8.1%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and 42.3% and 66.7%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities. The assets not associated with the VIEs primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and term deposits in offshore accounts, short-term investments and long-term investments

There are no consolidated VIEs' assets that are collateral for the VIEs' obligations and can only be used to settle the VIEs' obligations. There are no creditors (or beneficial interest holders) of the VIEs that have recourse to the general credit of the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries. There are no terms in any arrangements, considering both explicit arrangements and implicit variable interests, which require the Company or its subsidiaries to provide financial support to the VIEs. However, if the VIEs ever need financial support, the Company or its subsidiaries may, at its option and subject to statutory limits and restrictions, provide financial support to its VIEs through loans to the shareholders of the VIEs or entrustment loans to the VIEs.

Relevant PRC laws and regulations restrict the VIEs from transferring a portion of its net assets, equivalent to the balance of its statutory reserve and its share capital, to the Company in the form of loans and advances or cash dividends. Please refer to Note 24 for disclosure of restricted net assets.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").

Certain accounts and balances in the 2013 and 2014 consolidated financial statements and the related notes have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of discontinued operations as described in Note 5.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the financial statements of Renren Inc., its subsidiaries, its VIEs and VIEs' subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts receivables, share-based compensation, deferred tax valuation allowance, income taxes, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, fair value of derivative financial instruments, impairment of long-term and short-term investments.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and term deposits which are highly liquid with a maturity of three months or less.

Term deposits

Term deposits are classified as held-to-maturity investments and carried at amortized cost. The term deposits mature within one year and are subject to penalty for early redemption before their maturity.

Fair value

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

Authoritative literature provides a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:

•

Level 1-inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

•

Level 2-inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•

Level 3-inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

Investments

(1)

Short-term investments

The Company's short-term investments comprise marketable securities which are classified as available-for-sale and held-to-maturity and derivative financial instruments that are regarded as assets. The available-for-sale investments are reported at fair values with the unrealized gains or losses recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income in equity. Short-term investments with contractual maturity dates less than one year are classified as held-to-maturity measured at amortized costs when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. The Company's derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value. The changes in fair value of those derivative instruments are recognized as gain or loss if such derivative instruments are not qualified for hedge accounting.

The Company reviews its available-for-sale short-term investments for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") based on the specific identification method. The Company considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence in evaluating the potential impairment of its short-term investments. If the cost of an investment exceeds the investment's fair value, the Company considers, among other factors, general market conditions, expected future performance of the investees, the duration and the extent to which the fair value of the investment is less than the cost, and the Company's intent and ability to hold the investment. The Company separates the amount of the OTTI into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings, which represents the difference between a security's amortized cost basis and the discounted present value of expected future cash flows. The amount due to other factors is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) if the entity neither intends to sell and will not more likely than not be required to sell the security before recovery. The difference between the amortized cost basis and the cash flows expected to be collected is accreted as interest income.

(2)

Long-term investments

Equity method investments

Investment in an entity where the Company can exercise significant influence, but not control, is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and adjusted for the Company's share of undistributed earnings or losses of the investee. Investment losses are recognized until the investment is fully written down as the Company does not guarantee the investee's obligations nor it is committed to provide additional funding.

When the Company's carrying value in an equity method affiliated company is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in the Company's consolidated financial statements unless the Company guaranteed obligations of the affiliated company or has committed additional funding. When the affiliated company subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it exceeds the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized.

The management regularly evaluates the impairment of the equity investment based on performance and the financial position of the investee as well as other evidence of market value. Such evaluation includes, but is not limited to, reviewing the investee's cash position, recent financings, projected and historical financial performance, cash flow forecasts and financing needs. An impairment charge is recorded when the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its fair value and this condition is determined to be other-than-temporary.

Warrants and purchased call options

The warrants and purchased call options represent the financial instruments purchased by the Company to acquire additional equity interest if the counterparties fulfilled certain conditions during certain period of time. The warrants and purchased call options are recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and carried at cost less impairment.

Cost method investments

For investments in an investee over which the Company does not have significant influence, the Company carries the investment at cost and recognizes income as any dividends declared from distribution of investee's earnings. The Company reviews the cost method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may no longer be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment's cost and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value of the investment would then become the new cost basis of the investment.

Held-to-Maturity investment

Held-to-maturity investment includes debt securities that the Company purchased from Sofi Lending Corp., which will mature on July 3, 2032 and has a fixed annual interest rate of 4%. The Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. The Company's held-to-maturity investment is classified as long-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets based on their contractual maturity dates and are stated at their amortized costs.

Accounts and notes receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable represents those receivables derived in the ordinary course of business. Notes receivables are bank accepted drafts related to trade receivables of advertising revenue with a maturity less than six months. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on aging analyses of accounts receivable balances, historical bad debt rates, repayment patterns and customer credit worthiness. No allowance is recorded for notes receivables as such balance is secured by the acceptance of the bank.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment, net is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Building		46 years
Furniture and vehicles		5 years
Computer equipment and application software		2-3 years
Leasehold improvements		Over the lesser of the lease term or useful life of the assets

Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets, other than goodwill, resulting from the acquisitions of entities accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting are estimated by management based on the fair value of assets acquired. Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method or accelerated method over the following estimated average useful lives, which are as follows:

Domain names, trademarks and online licenses		Indefinite lives
Operating platform and technology		3-8 years
Non-compete agreements		4 years
Game license		0.5-5 years
Login user		0.5-1 year
Technology, user generated content and relationship with broadcasters		6 years
Customer relationship		4 years

Intangible assets with indefinite lives

If an intangible asset is determined to have an indefinite life, it should not be amortized until its useful life is determined to be no longer indefinite. An intangible asset that is not subject to amortization is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Such impairment test consists of the fair values of assets and their carrying value amounts and an impairment loss is recognized if and when the carrying amounts exceed the fair values. The estimates of fair values of intangible assets not subject to amortization are determined using various discounted cash flow valuation methodologies. Significant assumptions are inherent in this process, including estimates of discount rates. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the respective intangible assets. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, the Company recorded impairment loss for indefinite-lived intangible assets from discontinued operations of $nil, $nil and $13,536, and from continuing operations of $nil, $nil and $122 respectively.

Impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite lives

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed by the straight-line method.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets, with determinable useful lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset's carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company measures the carrying amount of long-lived asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it. Impairment exists when the sum of the expected future net cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset being evaluated. Impairment loss is calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is estimated based on various valuation techniques, including the discounted value of estimated future undiscounted cash flows. The evaluation of asset impairment requires the Company to make assumptions about future cash flows over the life of the asset being evaluated. These assumptions require significant judgment and actual results may differ from assumed and estimated amounts. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, the Company recorded impairment loss for intangible assets with definite life from discontinued operations of $nil, $nil and $nil, and from continuing operations of $nil, $208 and $1,803, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations.

Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for impairment upon first adoption and annually, or more frequently if event and circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.

Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, and assumptions that are consistent with the plans and estimates being used to manage the Company's business, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for the Company's business, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of the Company's weighted average cost of capital. The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit change from year to year based on operating results and market conditions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment for the reporting unit.

The Company performs a two-step goodwill impairment test. The first step compares the fair values of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired and the second step will not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of the affected reporting unit's goodwill to the carrying value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business combination with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. This allocation process is only performed for purposes of evaluating goodwill impairment and does not result in an entry to adjust the value of any assets or liabilities. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess in the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill. In estimating the fair value of each reporting unit the Company estimates the future cash flows of each reporting unit, the Company has taken into consideration the overall and industry economic conditions and trends, market risk of the Company and historical information. The Company recorded $nil, $nil and $46,864 impairment charges of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Online advertising revenues

The Company provides advertisement placement services in its SNS platforms and online games. The Company primarily enters into pay-for-time contracts, under which the Company bills its customers based on the period of time to display the advertisements in the specific formats on specific web pages. The Company also enters into pay-for-volume arrangements, under which it bills its customers on the traffic volume basis, e.g. pay-per-click or pay-per-impression.

For pay-for-time contracts, revenue is recognized ratably over the period the advertising is displayed.

For pay-for-volume contracts, revenue is recognized based on traffic volume tracked and the pre-agreed unit price.

Contractual billings in excess of recognized revenue and payments received in advance of revenue recognition are recorded as deferred revenues.

The Company principally enters into advertising placement contracts with advertisers' advertising agents and the Company offers volume rebates to certain advertisers' advertising agents. The Company recognizes estimated rebates as the reduction of revenues based on a systematic and rational allocation of the cost of honoring rebates earned and claimed to each of the underlying revenue transactions that results in progress by the customer toward earning the rebate or refund. Estimation of the total rebate is based on the estimates of the sales volume to be reached based on the historic experience of the Company. If amounts of future rebates cannot be reasonably estimated, a liability will be recognized for the maximum potential amount of the rebates.

Online game revenues

The Company generates revenues from the provision of online game, primarily web-based online game services. The online games can be accessed and played by end users free of charge but the end users may choose to purchase in-game merchandise or premium features to enhance their game playing experience using virtual currencies. The end users can purchase virtual currencies by making direct online payments or purchasing prepaid cards ("PP-Cards"). The Company uses on-line payment services operated by independent service providers and pays a fee for such services. Net proceeds received from these service providers after deduction of service fees are recorded as deferred revenues. The Company sells PP-Cards through distributors at a discount to the face value of the PP-Card. As the Company does not have control over and generally does not know the ultimate selling price of the PP-Cards sold by the distributors, net proceeds received from distributors after deduction of sales discounts are recorded as deferred revenues.

End users consume virtual currencies by purchasing in-game merchandise or premium features online. The Company calculates the monetary value of each unit of virtual currency consumed using a moving weighted average method by dividing the total cumulative unrecognized deferred revenues by total unconsumed virtual currencies monthly in advance.

The Company categorizes in-game merchandise or premium features as either consumptive or permanent. For the consumptive in-game merchandise or premium features, revenues are recognized when the in-game merchandise or premium features are first used by the end users. For the permanent in-game merchandise or premium features, revenues are recognized ratably over the estimated average playing period of paying players for each applicable game, which represents the Company's best estimate of the estimated average life of permanent in-game merchandise or premium features.

In estimating the average playing period of paying players for each applicable game, the Company considers the charging data, which are affected by various factors such as acceptance and popularity of the game, the game updates and other in-game items, promotional events launched, future operating strategies and market conditions. Given the short operating history of the Company's online games, the estimated average playing period of paying players for each applicable game may not accurately reflect the actual lives of the permanent in-game merchandise or premium features in that game. The Company reviews, at least annually, the average playing period of paying players for all applicable games to determine whether the estimated lives for permanent in-game merchandise or premium features remain reasonable. Based on the Company's latest review, such estimated lives remain reasonable and have not changed significantly over time. The Company may revise its estimates as it continues to collect operating data, and refine its estimation process and results accordingly. All paying players' data in an applicable game collected since the launch date of such game are used to perform the relevant assessment for that applicable game.

If there is insufficient player data to determine the average playing period of paying players for an applicable game, such as in the case of a newly launched game, the Company estimates the average playing period of paying players based on other similar games the Company or third parties operate, taking into account of the game profile, the target audience and the appeal to paying players of different demographics, until sufficient data is collected, which is normally up to 12 months after launch.

The amount associated with unused virtual currencies, which are without contractual expiration term, is carried as deferred revenues indefinitely as the Company was not able to reasonably estimate the amount of virtual currency which will be ultimately given up by the users due to the short operating history of the Company.

The Company also entered into revenue sharing agreements with various third-party game developers, under which the Company provides links of online games developed by those third-party game developers on the Company's platforms while the third-party game developers operate the games, including providing game software, hardware, technical support and customer services. All of the web games developed by third-party game developers can be accessed and played by game players on the Company's platforms without downloading separate software. The Company views the game developers to be its customers and considers its responsibility under such agreements to be that of distribution and payment collection for such games. The Company primarily collects payments from game players in connection with the sale of in-game currencies and remits the agreed-upon percentages of the proceeds to the game developers with the residual portion of such proceeds being deferred for revenue recognition until the estimated consumption date (the estimated date by which in-game currencies are consumed within the games for purchase of in-game merchandise or premium features), which is typically within a short period of time after the purchase of the in-game currencies. Purchase of in-game currencies is not refundable unless there is unused in-game currency at the time a game is discontinued. Typically, a game will only be discontinued when the monthly revenue generated by a game becomes insignificant.

Online talent show revenue ("Woxiu")

"Woxiu," which translates into "a show of your own" in Chinese, is a virtual stage the Company initially offers at 56.com platform and then at Renren platform after the completion of the disposition of 56.com (see Note 4.3), where grassroots musicians and performers can live-stream their performances and share with viewers. Fans of the performing user can chat along with the performer and other live audience and purchase consumable virtual items to show support to the performers.

All "Woxiu" live video shows are available free of charge and fans can purchase virtual items or features on the platform with virtual currencies to support their favorite performers. The number of virtual currencies consumed is kept track of by our operation system and will be deducted from users' accounts automatically when the virtual currencies are deemed as consumed. Revenue is recognized monthly based on the virtual currencies consumed. We pay the performers certain percentage of the amount of virtual currencies consumed. We recognize the total revenue on a gross basis, and the commission paid to the performers is recorded as cost of revenues. Similar to online game, the Company calculates the amount of revenues recognized for each unit of virtual currency consumed using moving weighted average method by dividing the total cumulative unrecognized deferred revenues by total unconsumed virtual currency.

Social commerce services

Between June 2010 and October 2013, the Company was engaged in social commerce services through nuomi.com. Third-party merchants agree to provide Nuomi users discounted prices when pre-agreed amount of Nuomi users sign up for a deal consisting of particular products, services or events provided by the merchants. The Company recognizes revenue for the difference of the amounts it collects from Nuomi users and the amount the Company pays to the third-party merchants. The revenues are recognized when all following criteria are met: (i) the number of participating users reaches the minimum requirement of the merchants; (ii) the participating users have made their payments to the Company; (iii) the Company have released the electronic coupons for the agreed discounted prices to the participating users; and (iv) the electronic coupons have been consumed by the participating users. The payments received for unused coupons are initially recognized as other accounts payables and part of such balance is recognized as revenues when the above criteria have been met.

The third party merchants are responsible and liable for the quality of the products or services provided. The Company holds the right to claim reimbursements from the third party merchants or deduct from the amounts payable to them.

The Company no longer provides social commerce services since October 2013, when the Company deconsolidated Nuomi due to the loss in controlling financial interest in Nuomi (see Note 4.1).

Business taxes

The Company's PRC subsidiaries and VIEs are subject to business taxes at the rate of 3.36% for wireless value added services ("WVAS") revenue, 5.6% for games revenue and 8.6% for advertising revenue before a pilot value-added tax ("VAT") reform program was officially launched on January 1, 2012 ("Pilot Program") by the Chinese State Council. Businesses in the Pilot Program would pay VAT instead of business tax. The Company reports revenue net of business taxes. Business taxes deducted in arriving net revenue during 2012, 2013 and 2014 were $5,685, $2,663 and $1,267, respectively.

Value added taxes

On January 1, 2012, the Chinese State Council officially launched a pilot value-added tax ("VAT") reform program ("Pilot Program"), applicable to businesses in selected industries. Businesses in the Pilot Program would pay VAT instead of business tax. The Pilot Program initially applied only to transportation industry and "modern service industries" ("Pilot Industries") in Shanghai and subsequently was expanded to ten other provinces and municipalities between August and December 2012. Since September 1, 2012, certain revenue generated from providing services which were previously subject to business tax became subject to VAT and related surcharges by various Chinese local tax authorities at rates ranging from 6.72% to 6.78%. VAT is also reported as a deduction to revenue when incurred and amounted to $8,980, $8,874 and $4,441 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified input VAT paid to suppliers against their output VAT liabilities. Net VAT balance between input VAT and output VAT is recorded in the line item of accrued expense and other payables on the face of consolidated balance sheet.

Income taxes

Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities.

Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Net operating loss carry forwards and credits are applied using enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that a portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics.

The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return is recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant tax authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Interest and penalties on income taxes will be classified as a component of the provisions for income taxes. The Company did not recognize any income tax due to uncertain tax position or incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, accounts and notes receivable, amounts due from/to related parties, short-term investments, derivative financial instruments, long-term investments, accounts payable, and written put option. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, amounts due from/to related parties, and accounts payables approximate their carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

The short-term investments, derivative financial instruments and written put option are carried at fair value.

The long-term investments are carried at carrying value and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortized cost. It is not practical to estimate the fair value of such investments because of the lack of quoted market price and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses are primarily incurred for development of new services, features and products for the Company's SNS, online games as well as further improve the Company's technology infrastructure to support these businesses. The Company has expensed all research and development costs when incurred.

Foreign currency translation

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is United States dollar ("US dollar"). The financial records of the Company's subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC, Japan, Taiwan, Hongkong and Korea are maintained in their local currencies, Renminbi ("RMB"), Japanese Yen ("JPY"), New Taiwan Dollar ("TWD"), Hong Kong Dollar ("HKD") and Korea Won ("KRW"), respectively, which are also the functional currencies of these entities.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statements of operations.

The Company's entities with functional currency of RMB, TWD, HKD, KRW and JPY, translate their operating results and financial positions into US dollar, the Company's reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Equity amounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rates for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component in the statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

Comprehensive (loss) income

Comprehensive (loss) income includes net income or loss, unrealized gain (loss) on short-term investment and foreign currency translation adjustments and is reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

Share-based compensation

Share-based payment transactions with employees, such as share options are measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity instrument. The Company recognizes the compensation costs net of estimated forfeitures using the straight-line method, over the applicable vesting period. The estimate of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of stock compensation expense to be recognized in future periods. Share options granted to employees with market conditions attached are measured at fair value on the grant date and are recognized as the compensation costs over the estimated requisite service period, regardless of whether the market condition has been met.

Share awards issued to non-employees are measured at fair value at the earlier of the commitment date or the date the service is completed and recognized over the period the service is provided.

A change in any of the terms or conditions of share options shall be accounted for as a modification of the plan. Therefore, the Company calculates incremental compensation cost of a modification as the excess of the fair value of the modified option over the fair value of the original option immediately before its terms are modified, measured based on the share price and other pertinent factors at the modification date. For vested options, the Company would recognize incremental compensation cost in the period of the modification occurred and for unvested options, the Company would recognize, over the remaining requisite service period, the sum of the incremental compensation cost and the remaining unrecognized compensation cost for the original award on the modification date.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per ordinary share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. The Company had stock options, which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. For market-based stock awards, the options are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share if the market condition has been met at the end of reporting period. To calculate the number of shares for diluted income per share, the effect of share options is computed using the treasury stock method. Potential ordinary shares in the diluted net loss per share computation are excluded in periods of losses from continuing operations as their effect would be anti-diluted.

Accounting pronouncements newly adopted

In March 2013, the FASB issued an authoritative pronouncement related to parent's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. When a reporting entity (parent) ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity, the parent is required to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income. Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided.

For an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, the partial sale guidance still applies. As such, a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon a partial sale of such an equity method investment. However, this treatment does not apply to an equity method investment that is not a foreign entity. In those instances, the cumulative translation adjustment is released into net income only if the partial sale represents a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity that contains the equity method investment.

Additionally, the amendments in this pronouncement clarify that the sale of an investment in a foreign entity includes both: (1) events that result in the loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity (i.e., irrespective of any retained investment); and (2) events that result in an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date (sometimes also referred to as a step acquisition). Accordingly, the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon the occurrence of those events.

The amendments in this pronouncement are effective prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments should be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments, it should apply them as of the beginning of the entity's fiscal year of adoption. The Company considers the adoption of this guidance does not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued a pronouncement which provides guidance on financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward exists. The FASB's objective in issuing this pronouncement is to eliminate diversity in practice resulting from a lack of guidance on this topic in current U.S. GAAP. The amendments in this pronouncement state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward, except as follows.

To the extent a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets.

This pronouncement applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this pronouncement are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company considers the adoption of this guidance does not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In April, 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2014-08, which amends the definition of a discontinued operation in ASC 205-20 and requires entities to provide additional disclosures about discontinued operations as well as disposal transactions that do not meet the discontinued-operations criteria. The new guidance eliminates the second and third criteria of discontinued operation in ASC 205-20-45-1 and instead requires discontinued-operations treatment for disposals of a component or group of components that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major impact on an entity's operations or financial results. The ASU also expands the scope of ASC 205-20 to disposals of equity method investments and businesses that, upon initial acquisition, qualify as held for sale.

The ASU also requires entities to reclassify assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation for all comparative periods presented in the statement of financial position.

Regarding the statement of cash flows, an entity must disclose, in all periods presented, either (1) operating and investing cash flows or (2) depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, and significant operating and investing noncash items related to the discontinued operation.

The ASU is effective prospectively for all disposals (except disposals classified as held for sale before the adoption date) or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued, ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The guidance substantially converges final standards on revenue recognition between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board providing a framework on addressing revenue recognition issues and, upon its effective date, replaces almost all exiting revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, in current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued a new pronouncement which requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In August, 2014, the FASB issued a new pronouncement which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity's financial statements. Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is "substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern." The new standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

3. SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Foreign currency risk

The RMB is not a freely convertible currency. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People's Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. Cash and cash equivalents of the Company included aggregate amounts of $122,838 and $148,830 at December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, which were denominated in RMB.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, term deposits, short term investment, accounts receivable and amounts due from related parties. The Company places their cash, cash equivalents, term deposits and short term investment, with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality. The Company conducts credit evaluations of customers in online advertising and generally do not require collateral or other security from their customers.

There was no customer who accounted for 10% or more of total net revenue for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Clients accounting for 10% or more of accounts receivables are as follows:

4.	DECONSOLIDATION OF SUBSIDIARIES

4.1 Deconsolidation of Nuomi Holdings Inc and its subsidiaries

Nuomi Holdings Inc and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Nuomi") primarily provided deep-discount localized social commerce services and products through Nuomi.com to Nuomi users. Entertainment, dining, health and beauty services made up the majority of its social commerce deals.

On August 23, 2013, the Company, Baidu Holdings Limited ("Baidu") and Nuomi Holdings Inc. ("Nuomi Inc"), entered into a share purchase agreement whereby Baidu would purchase the newly issued shares of Nuomi Inc. On a fully-diluted basis, upon the completion of the transaction on October 26, 2013, the Company's ownership of Nuomi Inc. was reduced to 31.61%. As a result, from October 26, 2013, the Company no longer retained power of control over Nuomi and accordingly deconsolidated Nuomi's financial statements from the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On October 26, 2013, the Company used equity method to account for the investment in Nuomi Inc at value of $63,626, which represented fair value of 31.61% equity interest in Nuomi Inc. and was determined by the Company with the assistance of an independent valuation firm. On the same date, the Company calculated a gain on loss of control of $132,821, which was recorded as "gain on deconsolidation of the subsidiaries" in the statements of operations. The gain on such deconsolidation is calculated as follows:

	As of
	October 26, 2013


Fair value of 31.61% shares in Nuomi Inc.	$	63,626
Less: Cash and cash equivalents		18,310
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		26,417
Property and equipment, net		1,318
Other non-current assets		190
Accounts payable		(28,467	)
Accrued expenses and other payables		(10,957	)
Amounts due to Renren Inc.		(74,825	)
Deferred revenue		(1,181	)
Gain on deconsolidation of Nuomi Inc	$	132,821

In February 2014, the Company sold the remaining 31.61% equity interest in Nuomi Inc. to Baidu in the amount of 68,066 with a gain of $56,993 (see Note 8). Therefore, the Company treated the operations of Nuomi as discontinued and presented the investment in Nuomi Inc. separately under the caption "Equity method investment-current" in current assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013.

4.2 Deconsolidation of Beijing Qingting Technology Development Co. Ltd ("Qingting")

Beijing Qingting Technology Development Co. Ltd., or Qingting was jointly established by the Company and eLong Inc, or eLong in April 2011 to operate travel interest-related fengche.com website in China. The Company held 65% equity interest of Qingting until February 2012, when the Company purchased the remaining 35% equity interest of Qingting from eLong with total cash consideration of $555. As a result, Qingting became a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company as of December 31, 2012.

On October 31, 2013, the Company sold 60% equity interest of Qingting to an independent individual for a cash consideration of $81. Upon the completion of the transaction on October 31, 2013, the Company's ownership of Qingting was reduced to 40%. As a result, from November 1, 2013, the Company no longer retained power of control over Qingting and accordingly deconsolidated Qingting's financial statements from the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On October 31, 2013, the Company used equity method to account for the investment in Qingting at value of $160, which represents fair value of 40% equity interest in Qingting. On the same date, the Company calculated a loss on loss of control of $156, which is recorded as a deduction of "gain on deconsolidation of the subsidiaries" in the statements of operations. The loss on such deconsolidation is calculated as follows:

	As of
	October 31, 2013

Cash consideration received	$	81
Fair value of 40% investment in Qingting		160
Less: Cash and cash equivalents		328
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		5
Property and equipment, net		64
Loss on deconsolidation of Qingting	$	(156	)

The operations of Qingting were treated as discontinued since October 2013.

On October 28, 2014, the Company, the nominee shareholder of Qianjun Technology and a subsidiary of Sohu.com (“Sohu”), entered into a share purchase agreement, whereby Sohu would acquire 100% ownership of Qianjun Technology in the amount of $25,000, of which $21,831 was related to the repayment of intercompany loan provided by the Company to Qianjun Technology.

Upon the completion of the change of registration at Administration for Industry & Commerce, on December 1, 2014, the Company no longer retained power of control over Qianjun Technology and accordingly deconsolidated Qianjun Technology's financial statement from the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On December 1, 2014, the Company calculated a gain regarding such disposition as follows:

		As of
	Note	December 1, 2014

Equity method investments

(i)

In September 2012 and March 2014, the Company entered into agreements to purchase 5,573,719 Series B Preferred Shares and 6,014,304 Series D Preferred Shares issued by SoFi at a price of $8.791258 per Series B Share and $3.453 per Series D Share with a total consideration of $69,789. The Company held 26.68% and 24.62% equity interest of SoFi as of December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively and recognized its share of loss in SoFi of $3,103 and gain of $2,028 for the years ended December 31, 2013, and 2014, respectively.

(ii)

In November 2011, February 2013 and January 2014, the Company invested $20,000, $20,000 and $40,000, respectively in JMOOP, which is a Cayman Islands exempted Limited partnership, and served as a limited partner. JMOOP is essentially a hedge fund that focuses on generating return for its partners through investments in the Japanese foreign currency exchange and credit markets. Pursuant to Subscription Agreement of JMOOP, once the general partner and a prospective investor agreed on the terms and investment objectives, the investor will subscribe for the agreed amount and become a limited partner of JMOOP. The general partner will create a new tranche within the fund for the new limited partner's monies, and commence the investing activities for this tranche. There are multiple tranches within JMOOP and there is no restriction on the maximum size of the fund. The general partner is not required to obtain existing partners' consents for or notify the existing partners of the addition of new investors into the fund. Therefore, the Company is practically unable to track its percentage ownership regularly in the partnership's capital. JMOOP reports the fair market value of the investment securities owned by the Company's investment tranche on a monthly basis, and the Company recognizes the appreciation or depreciation on its investment in JMOOP based on such valuation report.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had two individual partner accounts, "Tranche Y" and "Tranche W", and accounted for them using equity method. The Company recognized its share of loss of $3,560, gain of $29,290 and gain of $55,978 for the year ended December 31, 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively, and recognized capital distributions of $19,158 and $84,057 in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, capital distribution receivable of $419 was recorded as amount due from related party (see Note 19).

(iii)

In November 2014, the Company acquired 35,040,427 Series C Preferred Shares issued by Snowball at a price of $0.9988 per share. Meanwhile, the Company received a detachable preferred share warrant to (1) purchase additional up to 8,872,590 Series C Preferred Shares at a price of $1.6906 per share; (2) if Snowball issued subsequent equity securities, purchase such subsequent equity securities at a price of the lower of $1.6906 and the per share price paid by investors purchasing such subsequent equity securities.

The total consideration for the purchase of Series C Preferred Shares and warrant was $34,998, of which $901 was allocated to the value of warrant based on its fair value at the acquisition date.

(iv)

In December, 2014, the Company invested $30,000 in Hayman which is a Cayman Islands exempted Limited partnership and served as a Limited Partner. The general partner of Hayman is Hayman Offshore Management Inc, which is also the general partner of JMOOP.

(v)

In September 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 5,321,428 Series B-1 Preferred Shares and 649,351 Series B-2 Preferred Shares issued by Eall at a price of $3.08 per Series B-1 Share and $2.62 per Series B-2 Share with a total consideration of $18,090. The Company held 18.77% equity interest of Eall and one board seat out of four as of December 31, 2014 and recognized its share of loss of $211 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

(vi)

In April, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 7,856,395 Series A Preferred Shares issued by Rise at a price of $2.1872 per share with a total consideration of $17,183. The Company held 35.6% equity interest of Rise as of December 31, 2014.

(vii)

In December 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with "ESS" to purchase 3,333,333 Ordinary Shares at the price of $1.20 per share with total cash consideration of $4,000. Since the Company held 25% equity interest of ESS as of December 31, 2014 and was able to exert significant influence over ESS, the investment was accounted for using equity method.

Meanwhile the Company was granted a call option to invest additional $7,000 within next 18 months to acquire additional ordinary shares at a per share price determined on the basis of ESS's valuation of $30,000. Since the fair value of this call option was immaterial at the purchase date, it was recorded aggregately with the cost of equity method investment.

Besides, the Company wrote an option, which allows ESS to request additional investment of $7,000 from the Company if the aggregate amount of pre-sale letters received by ESS from its potential clients exceeded $10,000 during next 3 years. Such written put option was separately recorded based on its fair value of $730 at the purchase date under the caption of "Other non-current liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014.

(viii)

Others represents other equity method investments with individual carrying amount less than $15,000 as of December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

The Company, CIAC, Renren-Jingwei Inc, Link224 Inc., Renren Lianhe Holdings, Wole Inc., JiehunChina Inc., Funall Technology Inc., Xin Ditu Holdings, Renren Study Inc., Jingwei Inc. Limited, Renren Finance Inc. are all incorporated in the Cayman Islands. They are tax-exempted under the tax laws of the Cayman Islands.

Qianxiang Wangjing, incorporated in the PRC on November 11, 2008, qualified as a "software enterprise" in 2009, and therefore was entitled to a two-year exemption starting from the commencement of the profitable year 2009, followed by a 50% reduction in tax rates for the succeeding three years in accordance with the EIT Law if Qianxiang Wangjing qualified for renewal and filed an annual qualification status update to the tax authority. In 2013, Qianxiang Wangjing did not file such report and accordingly was not entitled to such tax reduction from 2013.

Shanghai Changda, incorporated in the PRC on October 25, 2010, qualified as a "software enterprise" in 2010, and therefore was entitled to a two-year exemption starting from the commencement of the profitable year 2011, followed by a 50% reduction in tax rates for the succeeding three years in accordance with the EIT Law if Shanghai Changda qualified for renewal and filed an annual qualification status update to the tax authority. In 2013, Shanghai Changda did not file such report and accordingly was not continually entitled to such tax reduction from 2013.

Renren Games, incorporated in the PRC on November 15, 2012, qualified as a "software enterprise" in 2013, and therefore was entitled to a two-year exemption starting from the commencement of the profitable year 2013, followed by a 50% reduction in tax rates for the succeeding three years in accordance with the EIT Law.

Other subsidiaries and VIEs of the Company domiciled in the PRC were subject to 25% statutory income tax rate in the years presented.

The EIT Law includes a provision specifying that legal entities organized outside PRC will be considered residents for Chinese income tax purposes if their place of effective management or control is within PRC. If legal entities organized outside PRC were considered residents for Chinese income tax purpose, they would become subject to the EIT Law on their worldwide income. This would cause any income from legal entities organized outside PRC earned to be subject to PRC's 25% EIT. The Implementation Rules to EIT Law provide that non-resident legal entities will be considered as PRC residents if substantial and overall management and control over the manufacturing and business operations, personnel, accounting, properties, etc. reside within PRC.

Despite the present uncertainties resulting from the limited PRC tax guidance on the issue, the Company does not believe that the legal entities organized outside PRC should be characterized as PRC residents for EIT Law purposes.

Under the EIT Law and its implementation rules which became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends generated after January 1, 2008 and payable by a foreign-invested enterprise in PRC to its foreign investors who are non-resident enterprises are subject to a 10% withholding tax, unless any such foreign investor's jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with PRC that provides for a different withholding arrangement. The Cayman Islands, where the Company is incorporated, does not have a tax treaty with PRC.

The Company's subsidiaries and VIEs located in the PRC had aggregate accumulated deficits as of December 31, 2014. Accordingly, no deferred tax liability had been accrued for the Chinese dividend withholding taxes as of December 31, 2014.

The current and deferred component of income tax expenses (benefits) which were substantially attributable to the Company's PRC subsidiaries and VIE and VIE's subsidiaries, are as follows:

	Years ended December 31,
	2012		2013			2014

Current income tax expense	$	7	$	1,019		$	1,620
Deferred income tax expense (benefit)		1,377		(4,999	)		4,897
Total income tax expense (benefits)	$	1,384	$	(3,980	)	$	6,517

The principal components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows:

	As of December 31,
	2013			2014

The Company operates through multiple subsidiaries and VIEs and VIEs' subsidiaries. The valuation allowance is considered on each individual entity basis. The subsidiaries and VIEs and VIEs' subsidiaries registered in the PRC have total deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carry forwards of $42,606 and $54,577 as of December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The Company assessed the available evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income would be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2014, valuation allowances were established because the Company believes that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be realized as it does not expect to generate sufficient taxable income in the near future.

Reconciliation between the income taxes expense (benefits) computed by applying the PRC tax rate to loss before the provision of income taxes and the actual provision for income taxes is as follows:

	Years ended December 31,
	2012			2013			2014

Income tax expense (benefits)	$	1,384		$	(3,980	)	$	6,517

If the tax holidays were not available, income taxes provision and net income (loss) per share would have been as follows:

	Years ended December 31,
	2012			2013			2014

Provision for income taxes	$	11,230		$	738		$	8,224

Net income (loss) per ordinary share from continuing operations attributable to Renren Inc. shareholders
- basic	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.03	)	$	0.03
- diluted	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.03	)	$	0.03

The Company did not identify significant unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The Company did not incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses and also believed that the adoption of pronouncement issued by FASB regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes did not have a significant impact on the unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months from December 31, 2014.

Since January 1, 2008, the relevant tax authorities have not conducted a tax examination on, PRC entities. In accordance with relevant PRC tax administration laws, tax years from 2010 to 2014 of the Company's PRC subsidiaries and VIEs and VIEs' subsidiaries remain subject to tax audits as of December 31, 2014, at the tax authority's discretion.

	Years ended December 31,
	2012	2013	2014
	Using Black- Scholes model	Using binomial model	Using binomial model
Risk-free interest rate	1.28~1.93%	2.0~2.9%	2.6%
Volatility	53%~64%	55%~57%	54%
Expected term (in years)	5.96~6.08	10	10
Exercise price	$1.10~$2.03	$0.01~$1.087	$1.097
Dividend yield	-	-	-

(1)

Volatility

The volatility of the underlying ordinary shares during the life of the options was estimated based on the historical stock price volatility of listed comparable companies over a period comparable to the expected term of the options.

(2)

Risk-free interest rate

Risk-free interest rate was estimated based on the yield to maturity of treasury bonds of the United States with a maturity period close to the expected life of the options

(3)

Expected term

For the options granted to employees, the Company estimated the expected term based on the vesting and contractual terms and employee demographics.

For the options granted to non-employees, the Company estimated the expected term as the original contractual term.

(4)

Dividend yield

The dividend yield was estimated by the Company based on its expected dividend policy over the expected term of the options.

(5)

Exercise price

The exercise price of the options was determined by the Company's board of directors.

(6)

Fair value of underlying ordinary shares

The closing market price of the Company's ordinary shares on the grant date was used.

For the options containing market and service vesting conditions, the Company estimated the fair value and derived service period of these options using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model. The calculation was based on the exercise price of $1.097 per ordinary share, the stock price of $2.60, annual risk free rate of 2.197%, volatility of 52% and a term of 10 years.

The aggregate intrinsic value was calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the closing stock price of $1.15, $1.02, and $0.84 of the Company's ordinary share on December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 were $14,848, $15,964, and $7,451 respectively.

STATUTORY RESERVE AND RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

In accordance with the Regulations on Enterprises with Foreign Investment of China and their articles of association, the Company's subsidiaries and VIE entities located in the PRC, being foreign invested enterprises established in the PRC, are required to provide for certain statutory reserves. These statutory reserve funds include one or more of the following: (i) a general reserve, (ii) an enterprise expansion fund or discretionary reserve fund, and (iii) a staff bonus and welfare fund. Subject to certain cumulative limits, the general reserve fund requires a minimum annual appropriation of 10% of after-tax profit (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in China at each year-end); the other fund appropriations are at the subsidiaries' or the affiliated PRC entities' discretion. These statutory reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes of enterprise expansion, staff bonus and welfare, and are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation of the Company's subsidiaries, the Company's affiliated PRC entities and their respective subsidiaries. The Company's subsidiaries and VIE entities are required to allocate at least 10% of their after-tax profits to the general reserve until such reserve has reached 50% of their respective registered capital. As of December 31, 2014, none of the Company's PRC subsidiaries and VIE entities had a general reserve that reached the 50% of their registered capital threshold, therefore they will continue to allocate at least 10% of their after tax profits to the general reserve fund.

Appropriations to the enterprise expansion reserve and the staff welfare and bonus reserve are to be made at the discretion of the board of directors of each of the Company's subsidiaries.

The appropriation to these reserves by the Company's PRC subsidiaries was $3,205, $nil and $nil for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

As a result of these PRC laws and regulations and the requirement that distributions by PRC entities can only be paid out of distributable profits computed in accordance with PRC GAAP, the PRC entities are restricted from transferring a portion of their net assets to the Company. Amounts restricted include paid-in capital and the statutory reserves of the Company's PRC subsidiaries and VIE entities. The aggregate amounts of capital and statutory reserves restricted which represented the amount of net assets of the relevant subsidiaries and VIE entities in the Company not available for distribution was 279,224 as of December 31, 2014.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(U.S. dollars in thousands, except share data and per share data, or otherwise noted)

1.	BASIS FOR PREPARATION

The condensed financial information of the Parent Company has been prepared using the same accounting policies as set out in the Group's consolidated financial statements except that the Parent Company used the equity method to account for investments in its subsidiaries and VIEs.

The condensed financial information is provided since the restricted net assets of the Group's subsidiaries, VIEs and VIEs' subsidiaries were over the 25% of the consolidated net assets of the Group as of December 31, 2014.

2.	INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES, VIES AND VIES' SUBSIDIARIES

The Parent Company and its subsidiaries, VIEs and VIEs' subsidiaries were included in the consolidated financial statements where inter-company balances and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation. For purpose of the Parent Company's stand-alone financial statements, its investments in subsidiaries, VIEs and VIEs' subsidiaries were reported using the equity method of accounting. The Parent Company's share of loss from its subsidiaries, VIEs and VIEs' subsidiaries were reported as share of loss of subsidiaries, VIEs and VIEs' subsidiaries in the accompanying Parent Company financial statements. Ordinarily under the equity method, an investor in an equity method investee would cease to recognize its share of the losses of an investee once the carrying value of the investment has been reduced to nil absent an undertaking by the investor to provide continuing support and fund losses. For the purpose of this Schedule I, the Parent Company has continued to reflect its share, based on its proportionate interest, of the losses of subsidiaries, VIEs and VIEs' subsidiaries regardless of the carrying value of the investment even though the Parent Company is not obligated to provide continuing support or fund losses.
