[1]	In 2015 and 2016, the Group entered into agreements to acquire minority stake of a number of privately-held entities with total consideration of RMB351,800 and RMB90,234 respectively. The investments are not investment in common stock or in-substance common stock and therefore have been precluded from applying the equity method of accounting. They have been accounted for as investments under cost method, since all of these equity securities do not have a readily determinable fair value.
[2]	In 2016, the Group acquired minority stake of a number of privately-held entities with total consideration of RMB107,010. Investments have been accounted for under the equity method where the Group has significant influence in these investments and the investments are considered as in substance ordinary shares. In 2016, following the deconsolidation and disposal of Xingxue (Note 4), the Group reclassified the remaining 31.14% equity interest of Xingxue as an equity investment, as the Group still can exercise significant influence over Xingxue.
[3]	In 2015, the Group entered into share purchase agreements to acquire 4.25% equity stake of a company with a total consideration of RMB6,117. The Group recorded this investment as an available-for-sale debt security since the preferred shares purchased by the Group are redeemable at the option of the Group. Subsequent to initial recognition, the available-for-sale debt security is measured at fair value at every period end. There was no significant change in fair value of the investment from the investment date to December 31, 2016. In 2016, one of the Group's investees became listed on NASDAQ Global Market. As the investment has readily determinable fair value upon listing, the Group reclassified this investment as an available-for-sale security upon its listing and recorded the investment at fair value with unrealized holding gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income under ASC 320.

Investments in debt and equity securities which are categorized neither as held-to-maturity nor trading and which are intended to be sold or mature more than one year from the balance sheet date or operating cycle, if longer. Such securities are reported at fair value; unrealized gains (losses) related to Available-for-sale Securities are excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity (other comprehensive income), unless the Available-for-sale security is designated as a hedge or is determined to have had an other than temporary decline in fair value below its amortized cost basis. All or a portion of the unrealized holding gain (loss) of an Available-for-sale security that is designated as being hedged in a fair value hedge is recognized in earnings during the period of the hedge, as are other than temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis for investments in equity securities and debt securities that an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. Other than temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis for debt securities categorized as Available-for-sale that an entity does not intend to sell and for which it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell before the recovery of its amortized cost basis are bifurcated into credit losses and losses related to all other factors. Other than temporary declines in fair value below cost basis related to credit losses are recognized in earnings, and losses related to all other factors are recognized in other comprehensive income.
