18. Additional Information—Condensed Financial Statements of Weibo Corporation

The condensed financial information of Weibo Corporation has been prepared in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Rule 5-04 and Rule 12-04, using the same accounting policies as set out in the Group’s consolidated financial statements, except that the Company used the equity method to account for investment in its subsidiaries and VIE.

The operations of the Company, its subsidiaries and VIE were included in the consolidated financial statements, whereby the inter-company balances and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation. For the purpose of the Company’s stand-alone financial information, its investment in subsidiaries and VIE were reported using the equity method of accounting.

Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit the payment of dividends by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and VIE only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, PRC laws and regulations require that annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax income should be set aside as a reserve prior to the payment of dividends. As a result of these PRC laws and regulations, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and VIE are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company, either in the form of dividends, loans or advances.

The footnote disclosures contain supplemental information relating to the operations of the Company and, as such, these statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, there were no material contingencies, significant provisions for long-term obligations, or guarantees of the Group, except for those which have been separately disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, if any.
