FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

        In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company measures short-term investments and available-for-sale investments at fair value on a recurring basis. Available-for-sale investments classified within Level 1 are valued using quoted market prices that currently available on a securities exchange registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Short-term investments classified within Level 2 are valued using directly or indirectly observable inputs in the market place. The available-for-sale investments classified within Level 3 are valued based on a model utilizing unobservable inputs which require significant management judgment and estimation. The estimated fair value of long-term loans approximated the carrying amount as of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2015, as the interest rates of the long-term loans are considered as approximate the current rate for comparable loans at the respective balance sheet dates.

        Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

        Based on the review of various factors of Dining Secretary, including, but not limited to its current market condition, operating performance and current and expected earnings trend, the Company determined the decline in fair value of Dining Secretary to below its carrying value is other than temporary. Accordingly, an impairment with amount of RMB33 million based on the difference of its fair value and cost was provided in other income with a reversal of the previously recognized unrealized loss of RMB4 million recorded in other comprehensive income in 2014.

        The Company determined the fair value of their investment by using an income approach concluding on the overall investee's equity value and allocating this value to the various classes of preferred and common shares by using an option-pricing method. The determination of the fair value was assisted by an independent appraisal, based on estimates, judgments and information of other comparable public companies.
