The second and third deferred payments of RMB 49,592 (US$7,656) and RMB3,072 (US$474) will be settled in March 2017 and January 2019, respectively, and were recorded in “Other non-current liabilities” as of December 31, 2015.

(iii)Part of the acquisition consideration is contingent on the achievement by MobPartner of certain financial targets from January 2015 to December 2016 and capped at RMB56,949 (US$8,791) in total. The Group estimated and recognized a financial liability for the contingent consideration at its fair value of RMB17,202 (US$2,656) as of the acquisition date.
