Equity method investment application description As of December 31, 2013, the investment in Chengdu Diting was accounted for under the cost method due to the fact that the Group did not have significant influence in this company. In May of 2014, the Group obtained the right to appoint a director to Chengdu Diting and thus had one out of five seats on the board of directors of this investee. Given the existence of significant influence; the Group started to apply equity method in May 2014. The investment, results of operations (current and prior periods presented), and retained earnings of the Group have been adjusted retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods in which the investment was held.
