3. | Variable Interest Entity
Falikang is a distribution entity jointly owned by AstraZeneca and FibroGen Beijing. FibroGen Beijing owns 51.1% of the outstanding shares of Falikang. Pursuant to the guidance under ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), the Company concluded that Falikang qualifies as a VIE. As Falikang is a distribution entity and AstraZeneca is the final decision maker for all the roxadustat commercialization activities, the Company lacks the power criterion while AstraZeneca meets both the power and economic criteria under the ASC 810, to direct the activities of Falikang that most significantly impact its performance. Therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE for accounting purposes. As a result, the Company accounts for its investment in Falikang under the equity method, and Falikang is not consolidated into the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company records its total investments in Falikang as an equity method investment in an unconsolidated VIE in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company recognizes its proportionate share of the reported profits or losses of Falikang as investment gain or loss in unconsolidated VIE in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, and as an adjustment to its investment in Falikang in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Falikang has not incurred material profit or loss to date. The Company may provide shareholder loans to Falikang to meet necessary financial obligations as part of its operations. To date, these loans have been immaterial. The Company’s equity method investment in Falikang was as follows (in thousands):
Entity |  | Ownership Percentage |  |  | Balance at December 31, 2020 |  |  | Share of Net Income |  |  | Currency Translation |  |  | Balance at September 30, 2021 |
Falikang |  |  | 51.1 | % |  | $ | 2,728 |  |  | $ | 664 |  |  | $ | 29 |  |  | $ | 3,421 |
