This Amendment No. 1 on Form 20-F/A (the Amendment) is being filed by JD.com, Inc. (the Company, we, our, or us) to amend the Companys Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, originally filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission on April 15, 2019 (the Original Filing). The Company is filing this Amendment to include the financial statements and related notes of Dada Nexus Limited (Dada), Bitauto Holdings Limited (Bitauto) and Tuniu Corporation (Tuniu), as required by Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Rule 3-09).
Rule 3-09 requires, among other things, that separate financial statements for unconsolidated subsidiaries and investees accounted for by the equity method to be included in the Form 20-F when such entities are individually significant. We have determined that our equity method investments in Dada, Bitauto and Tuniu, each of which is not consolidated in our financial statements, were significant under Rule 1-02(w) and Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X in relation to our financial results for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, and our equity method investments in Dada was also significant under Rule 1-02(w) and Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X in relation to our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2018. This Amendment is therefore filed to supplement the Original Filing with the inclusion of the financial statements and related notes of Dada, Bitauto and Tuniu as of December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 and for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 (the Financial Statements of Dada, Bitauto and Tuniu). In addition, Dada has restated its financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, all of which are included in the Financial Statements of Dada, Bitauto and Tuniu filed herewith.
This Form 20-F/A consists solely of the cover page, this explanatory note, the Financial Statements of Dada, Bitauto and Tuniu, certifications by our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and the consents of the independent auditor of each of Dada, Bitauto and Tuniu. This Amendment does not affect any other parts of, or exhibits to, the Original Filing, nor does it reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and with our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the Original Filing.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
To the Board of Directors of Dada Nexus Limited:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Dada Nexus Limited (the Company), its subsidiaries, its variable interest entity (VIE) and VIEs subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Managements Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Companys preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dada Nexus Limited, its subsidiaries, its VIE and VIEs subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
As discussed in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying 2016 and 2017 financial statements have been restated to correct certain errors. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for the years presented.
2.2 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, VIE and VIEs subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest. The results of the subsidiaries, VIE and VIEs subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company obtained control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. A controlling financial interest is typically determined when a company holds a majority of the voting equity interest in an entity.
The Group has adopted the guidance codified in ASC 810, Consolidations (ASC 810) on accounting for VIE, which requires certain variable interest entity to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary in which it has a controlling financial interest. A VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the ability to make certain decisions, the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive expected residual returns, or (c) an equity investor has voting rights that are disproportionate to its economic interest and substantially all of the entitys activities are on behalf of the investor.
All intercompany balances and transactions between the Group, its subsidiaries, VIE and VIEs subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.
VIE Arrangements
In order to comply with the PRC laws and regulations which prohibit or restrict foreign control of companies involved in provision of internet content and other restricted businesses, the Group operates its websites and other restricted businesses in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members and shareholders of the Group (Nominee Shareholders). On November 14, 2014, Dada Glory entered into a series of contractual agreements with Qusheng and its shareholders. The following is a summary of the agreements which allow the Dada Glory to exercise effective control over Qusheng:
Share Pledge Agreement
Under the equity interest pledge agreement entered between Dada Glory and the shareholders of Qusheng, the shareholders pledged all of their equity interests in Qusheng to guarantee their performance of their obligations under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement. If the shareholders of Qusheng breach their contractual obligations under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, Dada Glory, as the pledgee, will have the right to dispose the pledged equity pursuant to the PRC law. The shareholders of Qusheng have not placed any security equity interests or allowed any encumbrance on the pledged equity interests. The equity interest pledge agreement remains effective until the shareholders of Qusheng have fully performed their obligations and repaid their consulting and service fees by the shareholders of Qusheng under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement. During the equity pledge period, Dada Glory is entitled to all dividends and other distributions generated by Qusheng.
Exclusive Option Agreement
Pursuant to the exclusive option agreement entered into among Dada Glory, Qusheng and Qushengs shareholders, Qushengs shareholders irrevocably grant Dada Glory or its designated representatives an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interest of Qusheng. The exercise price shall be the lowest price as permitted by the applicable PRC law at the time of the transfer of the optioned interest. The option term remains effective for a term of 10 years and can be extended at Dada Glorys election. Without Dada Glorys written consent, Qusheng and its shareholders may not sell, transfer, mortgage, or otherwise dispose of in any manner any assets, or legal or beneficial interest in the business or revenues, or allow the encumbrance thereon of any security interest.

2.2 Basis of consolidation (continued)
VIE Arrangements (continued)
Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement
Under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement entered between Dada Glory and Qusheng, Qusheng appoints Dada Glory as its exclusive services provider with complete business support and technical and consulting services. Qusheng shall not accept any consultations or services provided by any third party, and shall not cooperate with any third party. Qusheng agrees to pay Dada Glory a monthly service fee for services performed, and the monthly service fee shall be 100% of the net income of Qusheng on a monthly basis. Unless earlier termination of this agreement by Dada Glory or relevant agreements separately executed between the parties, the term of this agreement shall be 10 years and extended term shall be determined by Dada Glorys election prior to the expiration thereof.
Power of Attorney
Pursuant to the irrevocable power of attorney, each of the Nominee Shareholders to exercise all shareholder rights under PRC law and the relevant articles of association, including but not limited to, proposing, convening and attending shareholders meetings of Qusheng, voting on their behalf on all matters requiring shareholder approval, sale or transfer or pledging or disposing of all or part of the Nominee Shareholders equity interests, and designating and appointing the senior management of Qusheng. Each power of attorney shall be irrevocably and continuously valid and effective from the date of its execution, unless Dada Glory issues adverse instructions in writing. Each Nominee Shareholders waive all the rights which have been authorized to Dada Glory under each power of attorney, and should not exercise such rights by themselves.
The irrevocable power of attorney has conveyed all shareholder rights held by the VIE shareholders to Dada Glory, including the right to appoint board members who nominate the general managers of the VIE to conduct day-to-day management of the VIEs businesses, and to approve significant transactions of the VIE. In addition, the exclusive option agreements provide Dada Glory with a substantive kick-out right of the VIEs shareholders through an exclusive option to purchase all or any part of the shareholders equity interest in the VIE at the lowest price permitted under PRC laws then in effect. In addition, through the exclusive support services agreements, the Company established the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, and through the equity pledge agreement, the Company has, in substance, an obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Risks in relation to the VIE structure
The Company believes that the contractual arrangements amongst Dada Glory, Qusheng and their respective shareholders are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable. The shareholders of Qusheng are also shareholders of the Company and therefore have no current interest in seeking to act contrary to the contractual arrangements. However, Qusheng and their shareholders may fail to take certain actions required for the Companys business or to follow the Companys instructions despite their contractual obligations to do so. Furthermore, if Qusheng or their shareholders do not act in the best interests of the Company under the contractual arrangements and any dispute relating to these contractual arrangements remains unresolved, the Company will have to enforce its rights under these contractual arrangements through the operations of PRC law and courts and therefore will be subject to uncertainties in the PRC legal system. All of these contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provided for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Companys ability to enforce these contractual arrangements, which may make it difficult to exert effective control over Qusheng, and its ability to conduct the Companys business may be adversely affected.

The VIE contributed approximately nil and 0.8% of the Groups consolidated net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and 2017, the VIE accounted for an aggregate of approximately 0.1% and 0.1%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and approximately 0.3% and 0.3%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities.
There are no terms in any arrangements, considering both explicit arrangements and implicit variable interests that require the Group or its subsidiaries to provide financial support to the VIE. However, if the VIE was ever to need financial support, the Group or its subsidiaries may, at its option and subject to statutory limits and restrictions, provide financial support to its VIE through loans to the shareholders of the VIE or entrustment loans to the VIE.
The Group believes that there are no assets held in the consolidated VIE that can be used only to settle obligations of the VIE, except for registered capital and the PRC statutory reserves. As the consolidated VIE is incorporated as a limited liability company under the PRC Company Law, creditors of the VIE do not have recourse to the general credit of the Group for any of the liabilities of the consolidated VIE.
Relevant PRC laws and regulations restrict the VIE from transferring a portion of their net assets, equivalent to the balance of their statutory reserve and their share capital, to the Group in the form of loans and advances or cash dividends.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.3 Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets, long lived assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Groups management reviews these estimates based on information that is currently available. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Group to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Groups financial statements mainly include the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used to measure the impairment of goodwill, property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions impacting the valuation of ordinary shares, share options and warrant liabilities, the purchase price allocation in relation to business combination, and realization of deferred tax assets.
2.4 Functional currency and foreign currency translation
The Group uses Renminbi (RMB) as its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar ($, US$ or USD). The functional currency of the Companys subsidiaries, VIE and VIEs subsidiaries is RMB or USD as determined based on the economic facts and circumstances.
Transactions denominated in other than the functional currencies are re-measured into the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities are re-measured at the balance sheet date exchange rate. The resulting exchange differences are included in the comprehensive loss.
Assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries with functional currency other than RMB are translated into RMB at fiscal year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal year. Translation adjustments arising from these are reported as foreign currency translation adjustments and are shown as a component of other comprehensive loss.
2.5 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash on hand and cash in bank which is highly liquid and unrestricted as to withdrawal and use.
2.6 Restricted cash
The Groups restricted cash mainly represents the deposits pledged for short-term bank loans.
2.7 Short-term investments
Short-term investments include (i) wealth management products issued by commercial banks or other financial institutions with variable interest rates indexed to the performance of underlying assets within one year; and (ii) a foreign currency forward contract sold by a commercial bank. These investments are stated at fair value. Changes in fair value of wealth management products is included in interest income and fair value changes of the foreign currency forward contracts are presented in Fair value change in foreign currency forward contract.
2.8 Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable mainly consists of amount due from the Groups customers, which are recorded net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Group performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers, and assesses allowance for doubtful accounts based upon expected collectability based on the age of the receivables and factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.9 Inventories, net
Inventories, consisting of products available for sale, are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost of inventory is determined using the weighted average cost method. Adjustments are recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated market value due to slow-moving merchandise and damaged goods, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted consumer demand, and promotional environment.
2.10 Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Property and equipment is depreciated at rates sufficient to write off its costs less impairment and residual value, if any, over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Category |
|
Estimated useful lives |
Computer equipment |
|
3 years |
Office facilities |
|
3-5 years |
Vehicles |
|
8 years |
Software |
|
3-5 years |
Leasehold improvement |
|
Over the shorter of the expected useful life or the lease term |
Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operating expenses as incurred, whereas the costs of renewals and betterment that extends the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the costs, accumulated depreciation and impairment with any resulting gain or loss recognized in the other operation income or expenses of Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
2.11 Business combination
U.S. GAAP requires that all business combinations to be accounted for under the purchase method. Since its incorporation, the Group adopted ASC 805, Business Combinations. Following this adoption, the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of the (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgments. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activitys current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of assets and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period. Although the Group believes that the assumptions applied in the determination are reasonable based on information available at the date of acquisition, actual results may differ from the forecasted amounts and the difference could be material.
2.12 Intangible assets, net
Intangible assets purchased are recognized and measured at cost upon acquisition and intangible assets arising from business combination are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition. The Group performs valuation of the intangible assets arising from business combination to determine the fair value to be assigned to each asset acquired. The acquired intangible assets are recognized and measured at fair value and are amortized using the straight-line approach over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.13 Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired as a result of the Groups acquisitions of JDDJ business. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed at least annually for impairment or earlier, if any indication of impairment exists.
The Group adopted FASB revised guidance on Testing of Goodwill for Impairment. Under this guidance, the Group has the option to choose whether it will apply the qualitative assessment first and then the quantitative assessment, if necessary, or to apply the quantitative assessment directly. For reporting units applying a qualitative assessment first, the Group starts the goodwill impairment test by assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Group determines that it is more likely not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is mandatory. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The quantitative impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of goodwill with its carrying value. For reporting units directly applying a quantitative assessment, the Group performs the goodwill impairment test by quantitatively comparing the fair values of those reporting units to their carrying amounts.
Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. The judgment in estimating the fair value of reporting units includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and making other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit. The Group performs the annual goodwill impairment assessment on December 31 and no goodwill impairment was identified as of December 31, 2016 and 2017 (Note 3).
2.14 Other non-current assets
Other non-current assets mainly consist of long-term lease deposits, a convertible loan to a private company, and investments in privately-held entities. For equity investments over which the Group does not have significant influence or control, the cost method of accounting is used. Under the cost method, the Group carries the investments at cost and recognizes income to the extent of dividend received from the distribution of the equity investees post-acquisition profits.
The Group reviews investments in equity investees for other-than-temporary impairment. The primary factors the Group considers in its determination are duration and severity of the decline in fair value, general market conditions, operating performance and the prospects of the equity investees. If the equity investments estimated fair value is less than the cost of the investment and the Group determines the impairment to be other-than-temporary, the Group recognizes an impairment loss for the difference between the fair value and the cost basis of the investment. No impairment loss was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017.
2.15 Warrant liabilities
Warrants classified as liabilities are initially recorded at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss during the period in which such instruments are outstanding.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.16 Fair value measurement
Fair value reflects the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it transacts and considers assumptions that market participants use when pricing the asset or liability.
The Group applies a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable, market-based inputs, other than quoted prices, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair value guidance describes three main approaches to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach, (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.
When available, the Group uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset or liability. If quoted market prices are not available, the Group will measure fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.17 Revenue recognition
The Group derives its revenues principally from merchants use of the Groups core platforms in connection with online marketplace platform services, on-demand logistic platform services, and comprehensive logistic solution services.
· Platform Service
On-demand Logistic Platform Service
The Group provides on-demand logistic platform services through its self-developed on-demand logistics platform (Dada Platform) where the Group assists the customer, a registered merchant, in finding a deliveryman (Driver) to complete a delivery requested by the customer. The Group acts as an agent as it is not the primary obligor and does not bear the inventory risk. The service fee is the difference between the amount paid by a customer based on an upfront quoted fare and the amount earned by a Driver based on expected time, distance and other factors. The Group earns a variable amount from the customers and may record a loss from a transaction when an up-front quoted fare offered to a customer is less than the amount the Group is committed to pay the Driver. The service fee is recognized on a net basis at the point of delivery of merchandise. The loss of a transaction is recorded in fulfilment expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
JDDJ Marketplace Platform Service
The Group provides JDDJ marketplace platform services on its Online-to-Offline (O2O) ecommerce grocery platform (JDDJ Platform). The service revenues primarily consist of commission fees charged to third-party merchants for participating in the Groups online marketplace, where the Group acts as an agent and facilitates the merchants online sales of their goods through JDDJ Platform. The Group is not the primary obligor, does not take inventory risk, and does not have latitude over pricing of the merchandise. Upon successful sales, the Group charges the merchant a fixed rate commission fee based on the sales amount. Commission fee revenues are recognized on a net basis at the point of delivery of products.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.17 Revenue recognition (Continued)
· Comprehensive Logistic Solution Services
The Group provides comprehensive logistic solution services to merchants on its online marketplace and business customers that do not sell products on its online marketplace by utilizing the Groups network of registered Drivers to fulfil the delivery service. The Group has determined that it acts as a principal in this type of services as the Group is primarily responsible for fulfilling the delivery request made by the customer, has latitudes in establishing prices and discretion in selecting Drivers and takes the gross credit risk. Revenues resulting from these services are recognized on a gross basis at a fixed rate or a pre-determined amount for each completed delivery, when merchandise are arrived at designated place or packages are delivered to the recipients, with the amounts paid to the Drivers recorded in fulfillment expenses.
· Goods Sales
The Group operates its own e-commerce business and sells delivery equipment and other merchandise. The Group also sells merchandise through unmanned smart mini-stores. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis as the Group is primarily obligated to the customers, subject to inventory risk, and has latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers. The Group recognizes revenues net of discounts and return allowances when the goods are delivered to the customers.
· Others
Other services primarily comprise (i) online marketing services to merchants or brand customers for promotion of their products or brands on JDDJ marketplace platform and (ii) service fees received from insurance companies for arranging life insurance for Drivers. Revenue is recognised when service is rendered.
· Incentive programs
Customer incentives
The Group offers various incentive programs to merchants and business customers in the form of coupons or volume-based discounts in the provision of on-demand logistics platform service and comprehensive logistics solution service that are recorded as reduction of revenues as the Group does not receive a distinct good or service in consideration or cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of goods or services received.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.17 Revenue recognition (Continued)
Driver incentives
The Group offers various incentive programs to Drivers such as volume-based incentives. Since Drivers are not the Groups customers, incentives are accounted for as fulfillment expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, incentives to Drivers recorded as fulfilment expenses were RMB74,745 and RMB127,392, respectively.
Consumer incentives
The consumer incentives are offered to promote the Groups platform in the form of promotion coupon on the JDDJ Platform, which are valid only during a limited period of time. These incentives are provided at the Groups discretion and are not contractually required by the merchants. These incentives also do not reduce the overall pricing of the services provided by the Group. As the consumers are not the Groups customers, incentives to consumers are recognized as selling and marketing expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, consumer incentives that were recorded as selling and marketing expenses were RMB117,961 and RMB362,137, respectively.
All the incentives granted can be categorized into 1) incentives granted concurrent with a purchase transaction and 2) incentives granted not concurrent with a purchase transaction. When the incentive is granted concurrent with a purchase transaction, expenses or reduction of revenues are accrued as the related transactions are recorded. When the incentive is not granted concurrent with a purchase transaction, expenses or reduction of revenues are recognized with coupon redemption.
Types of revenues
For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, all of the Groups revenues were generated in the PRC. The revenues by types were as follows:

Cost of goods sold primarily consist of purchase price of merchandise, inventory provision and surcharge and sales taxes.
2.19 Fulfilment expenses
Fulfilment expenses primarily consist of (i) Drivers remuneration to fulfil the Groups logistics orders from merchants, (ii) expenses incurred in operating the Groups customer service centers, (iii) expenses charged by third-party couriers for logistics service and third-party customer service, (iv) transaction fees charged by third-party payment platform and (v) packaging cost as well as other fulfilment expenses directly attributed to the Groups principal operations.
2.20 Selling and marketing expenses
Selling and marketing expenses primarily consist of incentive payments to consumers, advertising and promotion expenses, payroll and related expenses for employees involved in selling and marketing functions in the city stations, as well as the associated expenses of facilities and equipment, such as depreciation expenses, rental and others. The advertising and market promotion expenses amounted to RMB47,217 and RMB156,317 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.21 Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses primarily consist of technology infrastructure expenses, payroll and related expenses for employees involved in platform development and internal system support, charges for the usage of the server and computer equipment, and editorial content.
2.22 Operating leases
Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the leasing group are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases net of any incentives received by the Group from the leasing group are charged to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on a straight-line basis over the leasing periods.
2.23 Share-based compensation
The Group accounts for share options granted to employees in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation. The Group grants options and restricted share units to the Groups employees, directors, and consultants. In accordance with the guidance, the Group determines whether a share option should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or an equity award.
Options and restricted share units granted to the employees, including the directors, vest upon satisfaction of a service condition, which is generally satisfied over four years and are measured at the grant date. Options granted to non-employees with a service condition are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued, as this has been determined to be more reliably measurable. The Group has accounted for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and ASC subtopic 505-50, Equity: Equity based Payments to Non-Employees. The fair value of each option granted to non-employees will be estimated on the date of grant using the same option valuation model used for options granted to employees. Options granted to non-employees of the Group are re-measured each period end in accordance with ASC 505. The final measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the date on which the non-employees performance is completed.
Additionally, the Groups incentive plan provides an exercisability clause where employees or non-employees can only exercise vested options upon the occurrence of the event that the Groups ordinary shares are publicly traded. Options for which the service condition has been satisfied are forfeited should employment terminate prior to the occurrence of an exercisable event, which substantially creates a performance condition. The satisfaction of the performance condition becomes probable upon completion of the Groups initial public offering and therefore, the Group has not recorded any compensation expenses and will record the cumulative share-based compensation expenses for these options when it completes the initial public offering.
According to ASC 718, a change in any of the terms or conditions of equity-based awards shall be accounted for as a modification of the award. Therefore, the Group calculates incremental compensation cost of a modification as the excess of the fair value of the modified option over the fair value of the original option immediately before its terms are modified. For vested options, the Group would recognize incremental compensation cost on the date of modification and for unvested options, the Group would recognize, prospectively and over the remaining requisite service period, the sum of the incremental compensation cost and the remaining unrecognized compensation cost for the original award.
2.24 Government grants
Government grants include cash subsidies received by the Groups entities in the PRC from local governments as incentives for operating business in certain local districts. Such subsidies allow the Group full discretion in utilizing the funds and are used by the Group for general corporate purpose. Cash subsidies are included in other operating income and recognized when received.

Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements, net operating loss carry forwards and credits. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in which temporary differences are expected to be received or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the period of the enactment of the change.
2.26 Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity of the Group during a period arising from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. Comprehensive loss is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, consists of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments.
2.27 Recent accounting pronouncements
New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Group will adopt the new revenue standard beginning January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The impact of adopting this ASU will not be material to the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure for financial instruments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Under the new ASC, entities no longer use the cost method of accounting as it was applied before and the new ASC requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, a company can elect to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer (the measurement alternative). The Group will adopt this ASU beginning January 1, 2018 and does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize leases on balance sheet and disclose key information about lease arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms of longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued an update that provided an additional transition option that allows companies to continue applying the guidance under the lease standard in effect at that time in the comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Companies that elect this option would record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the date of adoption. The Group will elect this optional transition method. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements, as well as the impact of adoption on policies, practices, systems and financial statement disclosures. As of December 31, 2017, RMB162,779 of undiscounted future minimum operating lease commitments were not recognized on the Groups Consolidated Balance Sheets (see Note 20).
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.27 Recent accounting pronouncements (Continued)
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Group will adopt this ASU beginning January 1, 2018 and does not expect the adoption of this ASU has a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, Restricted Cash, which clarifies guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement impacts the presentation of restricted cash in the Companys Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Group will adopt this ASU beginning January 1, 2018 in accordance with the retrospective transition method, including restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flow.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. A goodwill impairment will be the amount by which a reporting units carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for an entitys annual or any interim goodwill impairments tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and will require adoption on a prospective basis. The Group is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which simplifies the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. Under the new standard, most of the guidance on stock compensation payments to non-employees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure FrameworkChanges to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Under the guidance, public companies will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, but entities are permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the requirements. The Group does not expect the adoption of this ASU has a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810), which amends two aspects of the related-party guidance in ASC 810. Specifically, the ASU (1) adds an elective private-company scope exception to the variable interest entity guidance for entities under common control, and (2) amends the guidance for determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. The amendments require organizations to consider indirect interests held through related parties under common control on a proportional basis rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in its entirety (as currently required in GAAP). Therefore, these amendments likely will result in more decision makers not consolidating VIEs. For entities other than private companies, ASU 2018-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. For private companies, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. This guidance will be adopted using a retrospective approach. The Group does not expect the adoption of this ASU has a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
3. BUSINESS COMBINATION
On April 26, 2016, the Group and JD.com, Inc. (JD) entered into an agreement to acquire JDDJ Business, an online marketplace where registered merchants offers local retailers products to its end consumers. In connection with the acquisition, the Company also entered into a Business Cooperation Agreement (BCA) and a Non-Compete Agreement (NCA) with JD.
The consideration for the acquisition of JDDJ business, BCA and NCA includes 286,832,885 ordinary shares of the Company, 46,743,137 Series E Preferred Shares and a warrant to subscribe 35,151,665 Series E Preferred Shares within two years with a pre-determined purchase price.

12. WARRANT LIABILITIES
In connection with the acquisition of JDDJ business on April 26, 2016, a warrant was issued to JD (Note 3), which provided JD the right to purchase additional 35,151,665 Series E Preferred Shares with the pre-determined purchase price of US$ 4.28 per share and exercisable at any time and expire on the earlier of (i) 24 months after issuance or (ii) immediately prior to a public offering (Qualified IPO). The warrant shall automatically terminate upon the completion of a Qualified Financing. A Qualified Financing means a bona fide private placement financing by the Company, which (i) values the Company at a pre-money valuation (excluding any amount of exercise price paid under this warrant) of at least US$4,090,950 and (ii) upon completion, will result in gross proceeds to the Company of at least US$100,000 in the aggregate (taking into account all closings of such financing if there is more than one closing).
The Group followed the authoritative guidance which requires liability classification for warrant issued that are exercisable into convertible redeemable preferred shares. Liability classification requires the warrant to be re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The Group utilized the service of an independent third party specialist to determine the fair value of the warrant, which took into consideration the fair value of underlying preferred shares, a risk-free interest rate, and expected volatility. Certain inputs used in the model are unobservable. As a result, the valuation of the warrant was categorized as Level 3 in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.
On December 28, 2017, the warrants were exercised by JD, upon which JD paid the subscription amounting to US$ 150,404 (RMB 983,820) for 35,151,665 Series E Preferred Shares.
12. WARRANT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
The Group estimates its fair value using binomial model as of December 31, 2016 and December 28, 2017 (immediate prior to the exercise of the warrants) using the following assumptions:

The carrying fair value of the warrant liabilities on exercise date was US$15,800 (RMB103,240), and the fair value changes in warrant liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2016, and 2017 were US$4,500 (RMB29,221) and US$12,700 (RMB82,467), respectively.
The Group estimated expected volatility by reference to the historical share price volatility of comparable companies over a period close to the remaining life of the warrant. The Group estimated the risk free interest rate based on the yield to maturity of U.S. Treasure Bill on the valuation date, with the maturity period close to the remaining life of the warrant and adjusted by country risk differential between US and China. The estimated fair value of the preferred shares was determined with assistance from an independent third party valuation firm. The dividend yield was estimated as zero based on the plan to retain profit for corporate expansion and no dividend distribute in the near future. The assumptions used in warrant fair value assessment represent the Groups best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. If factors change or different assumptions are used, the fair value change of warrants could be materially different for any period.
13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
In February 2015, the Group adopted the 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan (2015 Plan), which permits the granting of share options, restricted share units and other equity incentives to employees, directors and consultants of the Group. The 2015 plan administrator is the Groups board of directors. The board may also authorize one or more of the Groups officers to grant awards under the plan. The Group has authorized 68,698,662 ordinary shares for issuance under the 2015 Plan.
Employee options:
Under the 2015 Plan, options granted to employees vest upon satisfaction of a service condition, which is generally satisfied over four years. Additionally, the 2015 Plan includes a condition where employees can only exercise vested options upon the occurrence of that the Companys ordinary shares become listed securities, which substantially creates a performance condition (IPO Condition). Therefore, since the adoption of the 2015 Plan, the Group has not recognized any stock-based compensation expenses for options granted, because the exercisable event as described above has not occurred. The Group granted 7,632,897 and 3,057,177 share options to certain of its employees in 2016 and 2017, respectively. The options expire ten years from the date of grant.
In October 2016, in connection with the issuance of Series E Preferred Shares, the board of directors of the Company resolved to repurchase 1,199,608 share options from employees with a cash consideration of US$2,553 (RMB17,215). The Group believes that the repurchase was one-off in nature and the classification of the awards should not be changed as these awards were not deemed to have a substantive cash settlement feature. The repurchase of share options was an improbable-to-probable modification of the unvested awards and therefore accounted for as the issuance of a new award. The consideration paid for the repurchase was recognized as compensation cost in general and administrative expenses on settlement date.
13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)
Non-employee options:
Under the 2015 Plan, the Group granted 2,000,000 share options to certain non-employees vest upon satisfaction of a 4-year service condition in 2015, including a condition where optionee can only exercise vested options when the Companys ordinary shares become listed securities. The options expire ten years from the date of grant. The Group granted 862,390 and nil share options to certain of its non-employees in 2016 and 2017, respectively.
In April 2016, the board of directors agreed for early vesting and repurchase of 716,431 share options at the price of US$4.19 (RMB27.12) per share. The Group believes that the repurchase was one-off in nature and the classification of the awards should not be changed as these awards were not deemed to have a substantive cash settlement feature. The repurchase of early exercised share options was an improbable-to-probable modification of the unvested awards and accounted for as the issuance of a new award. The consideration paid for the repurchase was recognized as compensation cost in general and administrative expenses with an amount of US$2,991 (RMB19,372) on settlement date.
In determining the fair value of the stock options, the binomial option pricing model was applied. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the options at the relevant grant dates in 2016 and 2017 were as follows:

The Group estimated expected volatility by reference to the historical price volatilities of ordinary shares of comparable companies over a period close to the contract term of the options. The Group estimated the risk free interest rate based on the yield to maturity of U.S. government bonds at grant dates with a maturity period close to the contract term of options, adjusted by country risk differential between U.S. and China. As the Group has had no option exercise history, it estimated exercise multiples based on empirical research on typical employee stock option exercising behavior. The dividend yield was estimated as zero based on the plan to retain profit for corporate expansion and no dividend distribute in near future. The assumptions used in share-based compensation expenses recognition represent the Groups best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. If factors change or different assumptions are used, the share-based compensation expenses could be materially different for any period.

Escrowed shares
On November 11, 2014 and April 20, 2015, in conjunction with the issuance of preferred shares, the Group entered into a share restriction agreement with the founder and Co-founder to secure their services, pursuant to which all of their 72,887,414 ordinary shares of the Company became subject to transfer restrictions. In addition, the restricted shares shall initially be unvested and subject to repurchase by the Group at par value upon voluntary or involuntary termination of employment (the Repurchase Right). The Repurchase Right terminates over 4 and 3.6 years, respectively, in 48 and 43 equal monthly instalments thereafter. The founder and the Co-founder retain the voting rights of such restricted shares and any additional securities or cash received as the result of ownership of such shares, such as a share dividend, become subject to restriction in the same manner. The Group measured the fair values of the restricted shares as of November 11, 2014 and April 20, 2015 and recognized the amount as compensation expenses over the 48 and 43 months deemed service period on a straight-line basis.

Each holder of preferred shares shall have the right, at such holders sole discretion, to convert all or any portion of the preferred shares into ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis at any time. The initial conversion price is the issuance price of preferred shares, subject to adjustment in the event of (1) stock splits, share combinations, share dividends and distribution, recapitalizations and similar events, and (2) issuance of new securities at a price per share less than the conversion price in effect on the date of or immediately prior to such issuance.

14. CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SHARES (CONTINUED)
(2) If there are any assets or funds remaining after distribution according to above term (1), the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive for each Series A Preferred Share held by such holder, on parity with each other and prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or funds of the Group to the holders of the ordinary shares by reason of their ownership of such shares, the amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Series A issue price (Series A Preference Amount).

Dividends
(1) Each holder of a Preferred Share shall be entitled to receive noncumulative dividend at the rate of eight percent (8%) of the applicable Series A issue price, Series B issue price, Series C issue price or Series D issue price or Series E issue price as the case may be, per annum for each such share held by such holder, payable out of funds or assets when and as such funds or assets become legally available therefore on parity with each other, prior and in preference to, and satisfied before, any dividend on any other class or series of shares. Such dividends shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors.
(2) No dividend or distribution, whether in cash, in property, or in any other shares of the Group, shall be declared, paid, set aside or made with respect to the ordinary shares at any time unless all accrued but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Shares set forth in term (1), if any, have been paid in full, and a distribution is likewise declared, paid, set aside or made, respectively, at the same time with respect to each outstanding Preferred Share such that the dividend or distribution declared, paid, set aside or made to the holder thereof shall be equal to the dividend or distribution that such holder would have received pursuant to this term if such Preferred Share had been converted into ordinary shares immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution, or if no such record date is established, the date such dividend or distribution is made, and if such share then participated in and the holder thereof received such dividend or distribution.
Voting Rights
Subject to the provisions of Seventh Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles (including any Article providing for special voting rights), at all general meetings of the Group: (a) the holder of each ordinary share issued and outstanding shall have one vote in respect of each ordinary share held, and (b) the holder of a preferred share shall be entitled to such number of votes as equals the whole number of ordinary share into which such holders collective preferred shares are convertible immediately after the close of business on the record date of the determination of the Groups members entitled to vote or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of the Groups members is first solicited. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as converted basis (after aggregating all shares into which the preferred shares held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward). To the extent that the statute or the articles allow the preferred shares to vote separately as a class or series with respect to any matters, the preferred shares, shall have the right to vote separately as a class or series with respect to such matters.
14. CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SHARES (CONTINUED)
Accounting for the Preferred Shares
The Group has classified the preferred shares as mezzanine equity as these preferred shares are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event not solely within the control of the Group. The holders of the preferred shares have a redemption right and liquidation preference and will not receive the same form of consideration upon the occurrence of the conditional event as the ordinary shareholders would.
The Group recorded the initial carrying amount of the preferred shares with its issuance price, which approximated the issuance date fair value, after the reduction of the issuance cost. The Group uses interest method to accrete the carry value of the preferred shares to their maximum redemption price at the end of each reporting period. The change in redemption value is recorded against retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, against APIC. Once APIC has been exhausted, additional charges are recorded by increasing the accumulated deficit.
The Group did not identify any derivatives embedded in the preferred shares that were qualified for bifurcation and subject to fair value accounting. The Group also determined that there was no beneficial conversion feature attributable to the preferred shares, as the effective conversion price was not less than the fair value of the ordinary shares on the respective commitment date.
The following table summarised the roll-forward of the carrying amount of the preferred equity for the years of 2016 and 2017:

The number of outstanding ordinary shares of 6,100,000 split into 61,000,000 shares while the par value of US$ 0.001 was converted into US$0.0001.

16. TAXATION
Income Taxes
Cayman Islands
Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, the Company incorporated in the Cayman Islands are not subject to tax on income or capital gain. Additionally, the Cayman Islands does not impose a withholding tax on payments of dividends to shareholders.
Hong Kong
Entities incorporated in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong profits tax at a rate of 16.5% since January 1, 2010. Operations in Hong Kong have incurred net accumulated operating losses for income tax purpose and no income tax provisions are recorded for the period presented.
China
On March 16, 2007, the National Peoples Congress of the PRC introduced a new Corporate Income Tax Law (new CIT Law), under which Foreign Investment Enterprises (FlEs) and domestic companies would be subject to corporate income tax at a uniform rate of 25%.
Withholding tax on undistributed dividends
The new CIT Law also provides that an enterprise established under the laws of a foreign country or region but whose de facto management body is located in the PRC be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes and consequently be subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% for its global income. The implementing rules of the CIT Law merely define the location of the de facto management body as the place where the exercising, in substance, of the overall management and control of the production and business operation, personnel, accounting, property, etc., of a non-PRC company is located. Based on a review of surrounding facts and circumstances, the Group does not believe that it is likely that its operations outside of the PRC should be considered a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes.
The new CIT law also imposes a withholding income tax of 10% on dividends distributed by an FIE to its immediate holding company outside of China, if such immediate holding company is considered as a non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the received dividends have no connection with the establishment or place of such immediate holding company within China, unless such immediate holding companys jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. The Cayman Islands, where the Company is incorporated, does not have such tax treaty with China. According to the arrangement between the Mainland China and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion in August 2006, dividends paid by an FIE in China to its immediate holding company in Hong Kong will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of no more than 5% (if the foreign investor owns directly at least 25% of the shares of the FIE).The Company did not record any dividend withholding tax, as it has no retained earnings for any of the periods presented.

16. TAXATION (CONTINUED)
As of December 31, 2016 and 2017, the Group had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately RMB 2,399,399, and RMB 3,660,846, respectively, which arose from the subsidiaries, VIE and VIEs subsidiaries established in the PRC. The loss carry forwards will expire during the period from 2018 to 2022.
The Group believes that it is more likely than not that the net accumulated operating losses and other deferred tax assets will not be utilized in the future based on an evaluation of a variety of factors including the Groups operating history, accumulated deficit, existence of taxable temporary differences and reversal periods. Therefore, the Group provided full valuation allowances for the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of income taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer. The statute of limitations will be extended to five years under special circumstances, which are not clearly defined, but an underpayment of income tax liability exceeding RMB100 is specifically listed as a special circumstance. In the case of a transfer pricing related adjustment, the statute of limitations is ten years. There is no statute of limitations in the case of tax evasion. The Groups PRC subsidiaries are therefore subject to examination by the PRC tax authorities from 2014 through 2017 on non-transfer pricing matters, and from 2014 through 2017 on transfer pricing matters.
17. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Contingencies
The Group is subject to periodic legal or administrative proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. The Group does not believe that any currently pending legal or administrative proceeding to which the Group is a party will have a material adverse effect on the financial statements.
21. RESTATEMENT AND RECLASSIFICATIONS
Subsequent to the issuance of the Groups consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Group revisited its consolidated financial statements and determined to change the presentation of certain accounts in order to better reflect its business and be comparable to peer companies. Therefore, certain comparative amounts for the prior years have been reclassified to conform to current-year classifications. Additionally, the Group identified certain material errors and as a result has restated the Groups previously issued consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017.
Restatement of previously issued consolidated financial statements
The following errors in the Groups annual financial statements were identified and corrected as part of the restatement:
(a) Revenue related adjustments
In 2017, the Group erroneously recorded certain revenue earned from on-demand logistic platform service on a gross basis, rather than on a net basis as required by the accounting standards based on the nature of the transactions. The correction of this error resulted in a RMB557,149 reduction in both net revenues and fulfilment expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017.
In 2017, the Group erroneously recorded coupons to merchants in selling and marketing expenses, however based on the nature of the transactions, these coupons should be treated as considerations payable to customers and recorded as a reduction of revenue accordingly. The Group also erroneously recorded coupons issued to consumers on the JDDJ Platform for the promotion activities as reductions of revenue. However, these amounts should be treated as selling and marketing expenses as the consumers are not considered as the Groups customers in these transactions. In 2016 and 2017, the Group erroneously recorded certain amounts of revenues derived from on-demand logistic platform services as reductions of selling and marketing expenses, instead of revenues based on the nature of the transactions. The correction of these errors resulted in an increase of RMB34,287 in both net revenues and selling and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 and a decrease of RMB3,194 in both net revenues and selling and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017.
(b) Share-based compensation
In 2016 and 2017, the Group misreported an amount due from the Co-founder and the share-based compensation expenses for the share restriction arrangements with the founder and the Co-founder (Note 13). The correction of this error resulted in an increase of RMB13,869 in general and administrative expenses, an increase of RMB11,476 in APIC, an increase of RMB1,297 in opening accumulated deficit and a decrease of RMB1,096 in amount due from related parties as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016. The correction of this error also resulted in an increase of RMB11,151 in general and administrative expenses, an increase of RMB23,228 in APIC, an increase of RMB12,571 in opening accumulated deficit and a decrease of RMB494 in amount due from related parties as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017.
In 2016, the Group erroneously did not record the share-based compensation expenses for the JD Employee Awards for certain periods (Note 13). The correction of this error resulted in increases of RMB35, RMB3,298, and RMB37 in selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, respectively and a corresponding increase of RMB3,370 in APIC, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016. The correction of this error resulted in an increase of RMB3,370 in opening accumulated deficit for the year ended December 31, 2017 and APIC as of December 31, 2017.
(c) Foreign currency translation
The Group miscalculated the translation of the NCA and BCA acquired in connection with the JDDJ business acquisition from USD to RMB (Note 3). The correction of this error resulted in increases of RMB60,178, RMB3,498 and RMB63,676 in intangible assets, general and administrative expenses and accumulated other comprehensive income as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 and increases of RMB4,281, RMB5,571, RMB3,498 and RMB13,350 in intangible assets, general and administrative expenses, opening accumulated deficit and accumulated other comprehensive income as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively.
(d) Cash and cash equivalents
In 2016 and 2017, the Group erroneously classified short-term investments in wealth management products and certain amounts of cash held in accounts managed by the third party mobile and online payment platforms such as Alipay, WeChat Pay and JD Wallet as cash and cash equivalents. The correction of this error resulted in increases of RMB50,920 and RMB17,000 in short-term investments and increases of RMB14,402 and RMB24,275 in prepayment and other current assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively. Accordingly, the cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2016 and 2017 decreased by RMB65,322 and RMB41,275, respectively.
21. RESTATEMENT AND RECLASSIFICATIONS (CONTINUED)
(e) VAT tax
In 2017, the Group erroneously overstated the VAT receivables in prepayments and other current assets and VAT payables in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The correction of this error resulted in a decrease of RMB11,121 in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as well as prepayments and other current assets as of December 31, 2017.
(f) Long-term lease deposits
In 2016 and 2017, the Group erroneously recorded long-term lease deposits in the prepayment and other current assets. The correction of this error resulted in decreases of RMB259 and RMB6,103 in prepayment and other current assets and the corresponding increases in other non-current assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
(g) Acquisition cost
In 2016, the Group erroneously recorded the acquisition cost for JDDJ business combination (Note3) as share issuance cost. The correction of this error resulted in an increase of RMB 10,474 in both general and administrative expenses and APIC as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016. The correction of this error also resulted in an increase of RMB10,474 in opening accumulated deficit for the year ended December 31, 2017 and APIC as of December 31, 2017.
(h) Warrant
In 2016 and 2017, the Group applied certain incorrect assumptions in determining the fair values of the ordinary shares and warrants issued in connection with the JDDJ business combination (Note 12). The correction of this error resulted in increases of RMB42,926, RMB149,146, and RMB29,221 in goodwill, warrant liabilities and fair value change in warrant liabilities, respectively, and decreases of RMB9,536 in accumulated other comprehensive income and RMB125,905 in APIC as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, respectively, and increases of RMB42,926, RMB47,696 and RMB91,558 in goodwill, mezzanine equity and fair value change in warrant liabilities, respectively, and decreases of RMB 29,221 in opening accumulated deficit, RMB301 in accumulated other comprehensive income and RMB125,248 in APIC as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively.
Reclassifications
The following items in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation primarily for the following reasons:
(i) The Group decided not to present cost of revenues and gross profit, and thus, reclassified the costs related to the fulfilment of logistic services to the fulfilment expenses and retained the cost of goods sold. Additionally, the Group reclassified certain expense items to different accounts based on the nature of those expenses. These reclassifications resulted in the elimination of cost of revenues and increases of cost of goods sold, fulfilment expenses, selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
(j) Reclassification of payable to Drivers from accrued expenses and other current liabilities to a separate line item due to the significance of the amount. The reclassification resulted in an increase of payable to Drivers and a decrease of accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
(k) Reclassification of leasehold improvement from other non-current assets to property and equipment. The reclassification resulted in an increase of property and equipment and a decrease of other non-current assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
(l) Reclassification of others, net to other operating expenses, other operating income and foreign exchange gain/(loss) based on the nature of each related item. The reclassification resulted in changes of other operating expenses, other operating income, foreign exchange gain/(loss) and others, net for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
21. RESTATEMENT AND RECLASSIFICATIONS (CONTINUED)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
To the Board of Directors of Dada Nexus Limited:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Dada Nexus Limited (the Company), its subsidiaries, its variable interest entity (VIE) and VIEs subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Managements Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Companys preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dada Nexus Limited, its subsidiaries, its VIE and VIEs subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for the years presented.
2.2 Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, VIE and VIEs subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest. The results of the subsidiaries, VIE and VIEs subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company obtained control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. A controlling financial interest is typically determined when a company holds a majority of the voting equity interest in an entity.
The Group has adopted the guidance codified in ASC 810, Consolidations (ASC 810) on accounting for VIE, which requires certain variable interest entity to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary in which it has a controlling financial interest. A VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the ability to make certain decisions, the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive expected residual returns, or (c) an equity investor has voting rights that are disproportionate to its economic interest and substantially all of the entitys activities are on behalf of the investor.
All intercompany balances and transactions between the Group, its subsidiaries, VIE and VIEs subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.
VIE Arrangements
In order to comply with the PRC laws and regulations which prohibit or restrict foreign control of companies involved in provision of internet content and other restricted businesses, the Group operates its websites and other restricted businesses in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members and shareholders of the Group (Nominee Shareholders). On November 14, 2014, Dada Glory entered into a series of contractual agreements with Qusheng and its shareholders. The following is a summary of the agreements which allow the Dada Glory to exercise effective control over Qusheng:
Share Pledge Agreement
Under the equity interest pledge agreement entered between Dada Glory and the shareholders of Qusheng, the shareholders pledged all of their equity interests in Qusheng to guarantee their performance of their obligations under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement. If the shareholders of Qusheng breach their contractual obligations under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, Dada Glory, as the pledgee, will have the right to dispose the pledged equity pursuant to the PRC law. The shareholders of Qusheng have not placed any security equity interests or allowed any encumbrance on the pledged equity interests. The equity interest pledge agreement remains effective until the shareholders of Qusheng have fully performed their obligations and repaid their consulting and service fees by the shareholders of Qusheng under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement. During the equity pledge period, Dada Glory is entitled to all dividends and other distributions generated by Qusheng.
Exclusive Option Agreement
Pursuant to the exclusive option agreement entered into among Dada Glory, Qusheng and Qushengs shareholders, Qushengs shareholders irrevocably grant Dada Glory or its designated representatives an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of the equity interest of Qusheng. The exercise price shall be the lowest price as permitted by the applicable PRC law at the time of the transfer of the optioned interest. The option term remains effective for a term of 10 years and can be extended at Dada Glorys election. Without Dada Glorys written consent, Qusheng and its shareholders may not sell, transfer, mortgage, or otherwise dispose of in any manner any assets, or legal or beneficial interest in the business or revenues, or allow the encumbrance thereon of any security interest.

VIE Arrangements (continued)
Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement
Under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement entered between Dada Glory and Qusheng, Qusheng appoints Dada Glory as its exclusive services provider with complete business support and technical and consulting services. Qusheng shall not accept any consultations or services provided by any third party, and shall not cooperate with any third party. Qusheng agrees to pay Dada Glory a monthly service fee for services performed, and the monthly service fee shall be 100% of the net income of Qusheng on a monthly basis. Unless earlier termination of this agreement by Dada Glory or relevant agreements separately executed between the parties, the term of this agreement shall be 10 years and extended term shall be determined by Dada Glorys election prior to the expiration thereof.
Power of Attorney
Pursuant to the irrevocable power of attorney, each of the Nominee Shareholders to exercise all shareholder rights under PRC law and the relevant articles of association, including but not limited to, proposing, convening and attending shareholders meetings of Qusheng, voting on their behalf on all matters requiring shareholder approval, sale or transfer or pledging or disposing of all or part of the Nominee Shareholders equity interests, and designating and appointing the senior management of Qusheng. Each power of attorney shall be irrevocably and continuously valid and effective from the date of its execution, unless Dada Glory issues adverse instructions in writing. Each Nominee Shareholders waive all the rights which have been authorized to Dada Glory under each power of attorney, and should not exercise such rights by themselves.
The irrevocable power of attorney has conveyed all shareholder rights held by the VIE shareholders to Dada Glory, including the right to appoint board members who nominate the general managers of the VIE to conduct day-to-day management of the VIEs businesses, and to approve significant transactions of the VIE. In addition, the exclusive option agreements provide Dada Glory with a substantive kick-out right of the VIEs shareholders through an exclusive option to purchase all or any part of the shareholders equity interest in the VIE at the lowest price permitted under PRC laws then in effect. In addition, through the exclusive support services agreements, the Company established the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, and through the equity pledge agreement, the Company has, in substance, an obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
Risks in relation to the VIE structure
The Company believes that the contractual arrangements amongst Dada Glory, Qusheng and their respective shareholders are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable. The shareholders of Qusheng are also shareholders of the Company and therefore have no current interest in seeking to act contrary to the contractual arrangements. However, Qusheng and their shareholders may fail to take certain actions required for the Companys business or to follow the Companys instructions despite their contractual obligations to do so. Furthermore, if Qusheng or their shareholders do not act in the best interests of the Company under the contractual arrangements and any dispute relating to these contractual arrangements remains unresolved, the Company will have to enforce its rights under these contractual arrangements through the operations of PRC law and courts and therefore will be subject to uncertainties in the PRC legal system. All of these contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provided for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Companys ability to enforce these contractual arrangements, which may make it difficult to exert effective control over Qusheng, and its ability to conduct the Companys business may be adversely affected.

The VIE contributed approximately nil, 0.8% and 0.3% of the Groups consolidated net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the VIE accounted for an aggregate of approximately 0.1% and 0.1%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and approximately 0.3% and 0.4%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities.
There are no terms in any arrangements, considering both explicit arrangements and implicit variable interests that require the Group or its subsidiaries to provide financial support to the VIE. However, if the VIE was ever to need financial support, the Group or its subsidiaries may, at its option and subject to statutory limits and restrictions, provide financial support to its VIE through loans to the shareholders of the VIE or entrustment loans to the VIE.
The Group believes that there are no assets held in the consolidated VIE that can be used only to settle obligations of the VIE, except for registered capital and the PRC statutory reserves. As the consolidated VIE is incorporated as a limited liability company under the PRC Company Law, creditors of the VIE do not have recourse to the general credit of the Group for any of the liabilities of the consolidated VIE.
Relevant PRC laws and regulations restrict the VIE from transferring a portion of their net assets, equivalent to the balance of their statutory reserve and their share capital, to the Group in the form of loans and advances or cash dividends.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.3 Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets, long lived assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Groups management reviews these estimates based on information that is currently available. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Group to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Groups financial statements mainly include the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used to measure the impairment of goodwill, property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions impacting the valuation of ordinary shares, share options and warrant liabilities, the purchase price allocation in relation to business combination, and realization of deferred tax assets.
2.4 Functional currency and foreign currency translation
The Group uses Renminbi (RMB) as its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar ($, US$ or USD). The functional currency of the Companys subsidiaries, VIE and VIEs subsidiaries is RMB or USD as determined based on the economic facts and circumstances.
Transactions denominated in other than the functional currencies are re-measured into the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities are re-measured at the balance sheet date exchange rate. The resulting exchange differences are included in the comprehensive loss.
Assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries with functional currency other than RMB are translated into RMB at fiscal year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the fiscal year. Translation adjustments arising from these are reported as foreign currency translation adjustments and are shown as a component of other comprehensive loss.
2.5 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash on hand and cash in bank which is highly liquid and unrestricted as to withdrawal and use.
2.6 Restricted cash
The Groups restricted cash mainly represents the deposits pledged for short-term bank loans.
2.7 Short-term investments
Short-term investments include (i) wealth management products issued by commercial banks or other financial institutions with variable interest rates indexed to the performance of underlying assets within one year; and (ii) a foreign currency forward contract sold by a commercial bank. These investments are stated at fair value. Changes in fair value of wealth management products is included in interest income and fair value changes of the foreign currency forward contracts are presented in Fair value change in foreign currency forward contract.
2.8 Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable mainly consists of amount due from the Groups customers, which are recorded net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Group performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers, and assesses allowance for doubtful accounts based upon expected collectability based on the age of the receivables and factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.9 Inventories, net
Inventories, consisting of products available for sale, are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost of inventory is determined using the weighted average cost method. Adjustments are recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated market value due to slow-moving merchandise and damaged goods, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted consumer demand, and promotional environment. Provisions of RMB1,632 were recorded in the cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2018.
2.10 Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Property and equipment is depreciated at rates sufficient to write off its costs less impairment and residual value, if any, over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Category |
|
Estimated useful lives |
Computer equipment |
|
3 years |
Office facilities |
|
3-5 years |
Vehicles |
|
8 years |
Software |
|
3-5 years |
Leasehold improvement |
|
Over the shorter of the expected useful life or the lease term |
Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operating expenses as incurred, whereas the costs of renewals and betterment that extends the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the costs, accumulated depreciation and impairment with any resulting gain or loss recognized in the other operation income or expenses of Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
2.11 Business combination
U.S. GAAP requires that all business combinations to be accounted for under the purchase method. Since its incorporation, the Group adopted ASC 805, Business Combinations. Following this adoption, the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of the (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgments. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activitys current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of assets and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period. Although the Group believes that the assumptions applied in the determination are reasonable based on information available at the date of acquisition, actual results may differ from the forecasted amounts and the difference could be material.
2.12 Intangible assets, net
Intangible assets purchased are recognized and measured at cost upon acquisition and intangible assets arising from business combination are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition. The Group performs valuation of the intangible assets arising from business combination to determine the fair value to be assigned to each asset acquired. The acquired intangible assets are recognized and measured at fair value and are amortized using the straight-line approach over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.13 Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired as a result of the Groups acquisitions of JDDJ business. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed at least annually for impairment or earlier, if any indication of impairment exists.
The Group adopted FASB revised guidance on Testing of Goodwill for Impairment. Under this guidance, the Group has the option to choose whether it will apply the qualitative assessment first and then the quantitative assessment, if necessary, or to apply the quantitative assessment directly. For reporting units applying a qualitative assessment first, the Group starts the goodwill impairment test by assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Group determines that it is more likely not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is mandatory. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The quantitative impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of goodwill with its carrying value. For reporting units directly applying a quantitative assessment, the Group performs the goodwill impairment test by quantitatively comparing the fair values of those reporting units to their carrying amounts.
Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. The judgment in estimating the fair value of reporting units includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and making other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit. The Group performs the annual goodwill impairment assessment on December 31 and no goodwill impairment was identified as of December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 (Note 3).
2.14 Other non-current assets
Other non-current assets mainly consist of long-term lease deposits, a convertible loan to a private company, and equity investment without a readily determinable fair value. Beginning on January 1, 2018, the Groups equity investments without readily determinable fair values, which do not qualify for NAV practical expedient and over which the Group does not have the ability to exercise significant influence through the investments in common stock or in substance common stock, are accounted for under the measurement alternative upon the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-01 (the Measurement Alternative). Under the Measurement Alternative, the carrying value is measured at cost, less any impairment, plus and minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments. The Group recognized RMB3,432 and RMB2,000 of impairment losses to write off the loan receivable and equity investment without a readily determinable fair value, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2018.
2.15 Warrant liabilities
Warrants classified as liabilities are initially recorded at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss during the period in which such instruments are outstanding.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.16 Fair value measurement
Fair value reflects the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it transacts and considers assumptions that market participants use when pricing the asset or liability.
The Group applies a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable, market-based inputs, other than quoted prices, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair value guidance describes three main approaches to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach, (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.
When available, the Group uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset or liability. If quoted market prices are not available, the Group will measure fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.17 Revenue recognition
The Group derives its revenues principally from merchants use of the Groups core platforms in connection with online marketplace platform services, on-demand logistic platform services, and comprehensive logistic solution services. Revenue is stated net of value added tax (VAT), discounts and return allowances.
On January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), including related amendments and implementation guidance within ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 (collectively, including ASU 2014-09, ASC 606), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).
The impact of adopting the new revenue standard was not material to the consolidated financial statements and there was no adjustment to the beginning accumulated deficit on January 1, 2018. Results for reporting period beginning on January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC 605.
Platform Service
On-demand Logistic Platform Service
The Group provides on-demand logistic platform services through its self-developed on-demand logistics platform (Dada Platform) where the Group assists the customer, a registered merchant, in finding a deliveryman (Driver) to complete a delivery requested by the customer. The Group acts as an agent as it is not responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the delivery service, and does not have the ability to control the related services. The service fee is the difference between the amount paid by a customer based on an upfront quoted fare and the amount earned by a Driver based on expected time, distance and other factors. The Group earns a variable amount from the customers and may record a loss from a transaction when an up-front quoted fare offered to a customer is less than the amount the Group is committed to pay the Driver. The service fee is recognized on a net basis at the point of delivery of merchandise. The loss of a transaction is recorded in fulfilment expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
JDDJ Marketplace Platform Service
The Group provides JDDJ marketplace platform services on its Online-to-Offline (O2O) ecommerce grocery platform (JDDJ Platform). The service revenues primarily consist of commission fees charged to third-party merchants for participating in the Groups online marketplace, where the Group acts as an agent and its performance obligation is to facilitate the merchants online sales of their goods through JDDJ Platform. It is not primarily obligated to the consumers, does not take inventory risk, and does not have latitude over pricing of the merchandise. Upon successful sales, the Group charges the merchant a fixed rate commission fee based on the sales amount. Commission fee revenues are recognized on a net basis at the point of delivery of products.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.17 Revenue recognition (Continued)
Comprehensive Logistic Solution Services
The Group provides comprehensive logistic solution services to merchants on its online marketplace and business customers that do not sell products on its online marketplace by utilizing the Groups network of registered Drivers to fulfil the delivery service. The Group has determined that it acts as a principal in this type of services as the Group is responsible for identifying and directing the Driver to deliver the merchandise. The Group therefore controls the service before the merchandise are transferred to the recipient, is primarily responsible for fulfilling the obligation to the customer and also has pricing discretion. Revenues resulting from these services are recognized on a gross basis at a fixed rate or a pre-determined amount for each completed delivery, when merchandise are arrived at designated place or packages are delivered to the recipients, with the amounts paid to the Drivers recorded in fulfillment expenses.
Goods Sales
The Group operates its own e-commerce business and sells delivery equipment and other merchandise. The Group also sells merchandise through unmanned smart mini-stores. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis as the Group is acting as a principal in these transactions, is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified merchandise and also has pricing discretion . The Group recognizes revenues net of discounts and return allowances when the goods are delivered to the customers.
Others
Other services primarily comprise (i) warehouse fulfilment service to business customers, (ii) online marketing services to merchants or brand customers for promotion of their products or brands on JDDJ marketplace platform and (iii) service fees received from insurance companies for arranging life insurance for Drivers. Revenue is recognised when service is rendered.
Incentive programs
Customer incentives
The Group offers various incentive programs to merchants and business customers in the form of coupons or volume-based discounts in the provision of on-demand logistics platform service and comprehensive logistics solution service that are recorded as reduction of revenue as the Group does not receive a distinct good or service in consideration or cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of goods or services received.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.17 Revenue recognition (Continued)
Driver incentives
The Group offers various incentive programs to Drivers such as volume-based incentives. Since Drivers are not the Groups customers, incentives are accounted for as fulfillment expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, incentives to Drivers recorded as fulfilment expenses were RMB74,745, RMB127,392 and RMB223,664, respectively.
Consumer incentives
The consumer incentives are offered to promote the Groups platform in the form of promotion coupon on the JDDJ Platform, which are valid only during a limited period of time. These incentives are provided at the Groups discretion and are not contractually required by the merchants. These incentives also do not reduce the overall pricing of the services provided by the Group. As the Group has no performance obligation to consumers who are not the Groups customers, incentives to consumers are recognized as selling and marketing expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, consumer incentives that were recorded as selling and marketing expenses were RMB117,961 RMB362,137 and RMB782,479, respectively.
All the incentives granted can be categorized into 1) incentives granted concurrent with a purchase transaction and 2) incentives granted not concurrent with a purchase transaction. When the incentive is granted concurrent with a purchase transaction, expenses or reduction of revenue are accrued as the related transactions are recorded. When the incentive is not granted concurrent with a purchase transaction, expenses or reduction of revenue are recognized at the time of coupon redemption.
Disaggregation of revenues
For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, all of the Groups revenues were generated in the PRC. The disaggregated revenues by types were as follows:

2.17 Revenue recognition (Continued)
Contract balances
The remaining unsatisfied performance obligation as of December 31, 2017 and 2018 was immaterial.
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable represents amounts invoiced and revenues recognized prior to invoicing when the Group has satisfied its performance obligation and has the unconditional right to payment.
The Group sometimes receives advance payments from consumers before the service is rendered, which is recorded as advance from merchants included in the accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The balance as of December 31, 2017 and 2018 was immaterial.
Practical expedients and exemptions
The Group elects not to disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less (ii) contracts for which the Group recognizes revenues at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed and (iii) contracts with variable consideration related to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations.
2.18 Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold primarily consist of purchase price of merchandise, inventory provision and surcharge and sales taxes.
2.19 Fulfilment expenses
Fulfilment expenses primarily consist of (i) Drivers remuneration to fulfil the Groups logistics orders from merchants, (ii) expenses incurred in operating the Groups customer service centers, (iii) expenses charged by third-party couriers for logistics service and third-party customer service, (iv) transaction fees charged by third-party payment platform and (v) packaging cost as well as other fulfilment expenses directly attributed to the Groups principal operations.
2.20 Selling and marketing expenses
Selling and marketing expenses primarily consist of incentive payments to consumers, advertising and promotion expenses, payroll and related expenses for employees involved in selling and marketing functions in the city stations, as well as the associated expenses of facilities and equipment, such as depreciation expenses, rental and others. The advertising and market promotion expenses amounted to RMB47,217, RMB156,317 and RMB118,829 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.21 Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses primarily consist of technology infrastructure expenses, payroll and related expenses for employees involved in platform development and internal system support, charges for the usage of the server and computer equipment, and editorial content.
2.22 Operating leases
Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the leasing group are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases net of any incentives received by the Group from the leasing group are charged to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss on a straight-line basis over the leasing periods.
2.23 Share-based compensation
The Group accounts for share options granted to employees in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation. The Group grants options and restricted share units to the Groups employees, directors, and consultants. In accordance with the guidance, the Group determines whether a share option should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or an equity award.
Options and restricted share units granted to the employees, including the directors, vest upon satisfaction of a service condition, which is generally satisfied over four years and are measured at the grant date. Options granted to non-employees with a service condition are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued, as this has been determined to be more reliably measurable. The Group has accounted for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and ASC subtopic 505-50, Equity: Equity based Payments to Non-Employees. The fair value of each option granted to non-employees will be estimated on the date of grant using the same option valuation model used for options granted to employees. Options granted to non-employees of the Group are re-measured each period end in accordance with ASC 505. The final measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the date on which the non-employees performance is completed.
Additionally, the Groups incentive plan provides an exercisability clause where employees or non-employees can only exercise vested options upon the occurrence of the event that the Groups ordinary shares are publicly traded. Options for which the service condition has been satisfied are forfeited should employment terminate prior to the occurrence of an exercisable event, which substantially creates a performance condition. The satisfaction of the performance condition becomes probable upon completion of the Groups initial public offering and therefore, the Group has not recorded any compensation expenses and will record the cumulative share-based compensation expenses for these options when it completes the initial public offering.
According to ASC 718, a change in any of the terms or conditions of equity-based awards shall be accounted for as a modification of the award. Therefore, the Group calculates incremental compensation cost of a modification as the excess of the fair value of the modified option over the fair value of the original option immediately before its terms are modified. For vested options, the Group would recognize incremental compensation cost on the date of modification and for unvested options, the Group would recognize, prospectively and over the remaining requisite service period, the sum of the incremental compensation cost and the remaining unrecognized compensation cost for the original award.
2.24 Government grants
Government grants include cash subsidies received by the Groups entities in the PRC from local governments as incentives for operating business in certain local districts. Such subsidies allow the Group full discretion in utilizing the funds and are used by the Group for general corporate purpose. Cash subsidies are included in other operating income and recognized when received.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.25 Taxation
Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements, net operating loss carry forwards and credits. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in which temporary differences are expected to be received or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the period of the enactment of the change.
2.26 Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity of the Group during a period arising from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. Comprehensive loss is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, consists of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments.
2.27 Recent accounting pronouncements
New accounting pronouncements recently adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Group adopted the new revenue standard beginning January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The impact of adopting this ASU was not material to the consolidated financial statements and there was no adjustment to the beginning accumulated deficit on January 1, 2018 (Note 2).
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure for financial instruments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Under the new ASC, entities no longer use the cost method of accounting as it was applied before and the new ASC requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, a company can elect to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer (the measurement alternative). The Group adopted this ASU beginning January 1, 2018, which has no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Group adopted this ASU beginning January 1, 2018, which has no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, Restricted Cash, which clarifies guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement impacts the presentation of restricted cash in the Groups Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Group adopted this ASU beginning January 1, 2018 in accordance with the retrospective transition method, including restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.27 Recent accounting pronouncements (Continued)
New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize leases on balance sheet and disclose key information about lease arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms of longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued an update that provided an additional transition option that allows companies to continue applying the guidance under the lease standard in effect at that time in the comparative periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Companies that elect this option would record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on the date of adoption. The Group will elect this optional transition method. As of December 31, 2018, the Group has RMB122,260 of undiscounted future minimum operating lease commitments that are not recognized on its consolidated balance sheets (Note 20). Therefore, the Group would expect changes to its Consolidated Balance Sheets for the recognition of these and any additional leases entered into in the future upon adoption.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two-step impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. A goodwill impairment will be the amount by which a reporting units carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for an entitys annual or any interim goodwill impairments tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and will require adoption on a prospective basis. The Group is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which simplifies the accounting for non-employee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. Under the new standard, most of the guidance on stock compensation payments to non-employees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure FrameworkChanges to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Under the guidance, public companies will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, but entities are permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the requirements. The Group does not expect the adoption of this ASU has a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810), which amends two aspects of the related-party guidance in ASC 810. Specifically, the ASU (1) adds an elective private-company scope exception to the variable interest entity guidance for entities under common control, and (2) amends the guidance for determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. The amendments require organizations to consider indirect interests held through related parties under common control on a proportional basis rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in its entirety (as currently required in GAAP). Therefore, these amendments likely will result in more decision makers not consolidating VIEs. For entities other than private companies, ASU 2018-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. For private companies, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. This guidance will be adopted using a retrospective approach. The Group does not expect the adoption of this ASU has a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
3. BUSINESS COMBINATION
On April 26, 2016, the Group and JD.com, Inc.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Groups financial instruments include cash and cash equivalent, restricted cash, receivables, payables, prepayments and other current assets, short-term loan, amount due from and due to related parties and accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of these short-term financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The Group wrote off the convertible loan to a private company of RMB3,432 included in other noncurrent assets during 2018 due to the bankruptcy of the private company.
As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, information about inputs into the fair value measurement of the Groups assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is as follows:

The Group measures certain assets, including the equity investment without readily determinable fair value, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when it is deemed to be impaired. The fair values of these investments are determined based on valuation techniques using the best information available, and may include management judgments, future performance projections, etc. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, the Group recognized an impairment of equity investment without readily determinable fair value in the amount of nil and RMB2,000, respectively.
Certain non-financial assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including property, plant, and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets and they are recorded at fair value only when impairment is recognized by applying unobservable inputs such as forecasted financial performance, discount rate, etc. to the discounted cash flow valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of these assets. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, the Group recognized impairment of property and equipment in the amount of nil, nil and RMB8,481, respectively (Note 8).

12. WARRANT LIABILITIES
In connection with the acquisition of JDDJ business on April 26, 2016, a warrant was issued to JD (Note 3), which provided JD the right to purchase additional 35,151,665 Series E Preferred Shares with the pre-determined purchase price of US$ 4.28 per share and exercisable at any time and expire on the earlier of (i) 24 months after issuance or (ii) immediately prior to a public offering (Qualified IPO). The warrant shall automatically terminate upon the completion of a Qualified Financing. A Qualified Financing means a bona fide private placement financing by the Company, which (i) values the Company at a pre-money valuation (excluding any amount of exercise price paid under this warrant) of at least US$4,090,950 and (ii) upon completion, will result in gross proceeds to the Company of at least US$100,000 in the aggregate (taking into account all closings of such financing if there is more than one closing).
The Group followed the authoritative guidance which requires liability classification for warrant issued that are exercisable into convertible redeemable preferred shares. Liability classification requires the warrant to be re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The Group utilized the service of an independent third party specialist to determine the fair value of the warrant, which took into consideration the fair value of underlying preferred shares, a risk-free interest rate, and expected volatility. Certain inputs used in the model are unobservable. As a result, the valuation of the warrant was categorized as Level 3 in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.
On December 28, 2017, the warrants were exercised by JD, upon which JD paid the subscription amounting to US$ 150,404 (RMB 983,820) for 35,151,665 Series E Preferred Shares.
12. WARRANT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
The Group estimates its fair value using binomial model as of December 28, 2017 (immediate prior to the exercise of the warrants) using the following assumptions:

The carrying fair value of the warrant liabilities on exercise date was US$15,800 (RMB103,240), and the fair value changes in warrant liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2016, and 2017 were US$4,500 (RMB29,221) and US$12,700 (RMB 82,467), respectively.
The Group estimated expected volatility by reference to the historical share price volatility of comparable companies over a period close to the remaining life of the warrant. The Group estimated the risk free interest rate based on the yield to maturity of U.S. Treasure Bill on the valuation date, with the maturity period close to the remaining life of the warrant and adjusted by country risk differential between US and China. The estimated fair value of the preferred shares was determined with assistance from an independent third party valuation firm. The dividend yield was estimated as zero based on the plan to retain profit for corporate expansion and no dividend distribute in the near future. The assumptions used in warrant fair value assessment represent the Groups best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. If factors change or different assumptions are used, the fair value change of warrants could be materially different for any period.
13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
In February 2015, the Group adopted the 2015 Incentive Compensation Plan (2015 Plan), which permits the granting of share options, restricted share units and other equity incentives to employees, directors and consultants of the Group. The 2015 plan administrator is the Groups board of directors. The board may also authorize one or more of the Groups officers to grant awards under the plan. The Group has authorized 68,698,662 ordinary shares for issuance under the 2015 Plan.
Employee options:
Under the 2015 Plan, options granted to employees vest upon satisfaction of a service condition, which is generally satisfied over four years. Additionally, the 2015 Plan includes a condition where employees can only exercise vested options upon the occurrence of that the Companys ordinary shares become listed securities, which substantially creates a performance condition (IPO Condition). Therefore, since the adoption of the 2015 Plan, the Group has not recognized any stock-based compensation expenses for options granted, because the exercisable event as described above has not occurred. The Group granted 7,632,897, 3,057,177 and 5,264,956 share options to certain of its employees in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. The options expire ten years from the date of grant.
In October 2016, in connection with the issuance of Series E Preferred Shares, the board of directors of the Company resolved to repurchase 1,199,608 share options from employees with a cash consideration of US$2,553 (RMB17,215). The Group believes that the repurchase was one-off in nature and the classification of the awards should not be changed as these awards were not deemed to have a substantive cash settlement feature. The repurchase of share options was an improbable-to-probable modification of the unvested awards and therefore accounted for as the issuance of a new award. The consideration paid for the repurchase was recognized as compensation cost in general and administrative expenses on settlement date.
13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)
Non-employee options:
Under the 2015 Plan, the Group granted 2,000,000 share options to certain non-employees vest upon satisfaction of a 4-year service condition in 2015, including a condition where optionee can only exercise vested options when the Companys ordinary shares become listed securities. The options expire ten years from the date of grant. The Group granted 862,390, nil and nil share options to certain of its non-employees in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
In April 2016, the board of directors agreed for early vesting and repurchase of 716,431 share options at the price of US$4.19 (RMB27.12) per share. The Group believes that the repurchase was one-off in nature and the classification of the awards should not be changed as these awards were not deemed to have a substantive cash settlement feature. The repurchase of early exercised share options was an improbable-to-probable modification of the unvested awards and accounted for as the issuance of a new award. The consideration paid for the repurchase was recognized as compensation cost in general and administrative expenses with an amount of US$2,991 (RMB19,372) on settlement date.
In determining the fair value of the stock options, the binomial option pricing model was applied. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the options at the relevant grant dates in 2016, 2017 and 2018 were as follows:

The Group estimated expected volatility by reference to the historical price volatilities of ordinary shares of comparable companies over a period close to the contract term of the options. The Group estimated the risk free interest rate based on the yield to maturity of U.S. government bonds at grant dates with a maturity period close to the contract term of options, adjusted by country risk differential between U.S. and China. As the Group has had no option exercise history, it estimated exercise multiples based on empirical research on typical employee stock option exercising behavior. The dividend yield was estimated as zero based on the plan to retain profit for corporate expansion and no dividend distribute in near future. The assumptions used in share-based compensation expenses recognition represent the Groups best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. If factors change or different assumptions are used, the share-based compensation expenses could be materially different for any period.

Accounting for the Preferred Shares
The Group has classified the preferred shares as mezzanine equity as these preferred shares are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event not solely within the control of the Group. The holders of the preferred shares have a redemption right and liquidation preference and will not receive the same form of consideration upon the occurrence of the conditional event as the ordinary shareholders would.
The Group recorded the initial carrying amount of the preferred shares with its issuance price, which approximated the issuance date fair value, after the reduction of the issuance cost. The Group uses interest method to accrete the carry value of the preferred shares to their maximum redemption price at the end of each reporting period. The change in redemption value is recorded against retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, against APIC. Once APIC has been exhausted, additional charges are recorded by increasing the accumulated deficit.
The Group did not identify any derivatives embedded in the preferred shares that were qualified for bifurcation and subject to fair value accounting. The Group also determined that there was no beneficial conversion feature attributable to the preferred shares, as the effective conversion price was not less than the fair value of the ordinary shares on the respective commitment date.

16. TAXATION
Income Taxes
Cayman Islands
Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, the Company incorporated in the Cayman Islands are not subject to tax on income or capital gain. Additionally, the Cayman Islands does not impose a withholding tax on payments of dividends to shareholders.
Hong Kong
Entities incorporated in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong profits tax at a rate of 16.5% since January 1, 2010. Operations in Hong Kong have incurred net accumulated operating losses for income tax purpose and no income tax provisions are recorded for the period presented. Under the current Hong Kong Inland Revenue Ordinance, the Groups subsidiary domiciled in Hong Kong has introduced a two-tiered profits tax rate regime which is applicable to any year of assessment commencing on or after April 1, 2018. The profits tax rate for the first HK$2,000 of profits of corporations will be lowered to 8.25%, while profits above that amount will continue to be subject to the tax rate of 16.5%.
China
On March 16, 2007, the National Peoples Congress of the PRC introduced a new Corporate Income Tax Law (new CIT Law), under which Foreign Investment Enterprises (FlEs) and domestic companies would be subject to corporate income tax at a uniform rate of 25%. Certain enterprises will benefit from a preferential tax rate of 15% under the CIT Law if they qualify as high and new technology enterprises (HNTE). Under such regulation, Dada Glory and Yuanxin are qualified for HNTE status and are eligible to a reduced income tax rate of 15% for the years ended 2018, 2019 and 2020.
Withholding tax on undistributed dividends
The new CIT Law also provides that an enterprise established under the laws of a foreign country or region but whose de facto management body is located in the PRC be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes and consequently be subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% for its global income. The implementing rules of the CIT Law merely define the location of the de facto management body as the place where the exercising, in substance, of the overall management and control of the production and business operation, personnel, accounting, property, etc., of a non-PRC company is located. Based on a review of surrounding facts and circumstances, the Group does not believe that it is likely that its operations outside of the PRC should be considered a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes.
The new CIT law also imposes a withholding income tax of 10% on dividends distributed by an FIE to its immediate holding company outside of China, if such immediate holding company is considered as a non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the received dividends have no connection with the establishment or place of such immediate holding company within China, unless such immediate holding companys jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. The Cayman Islands, where the Company is incorporated, does not have such tax treaty with China. According to the arrangement between the Mainland China and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion in August 2006, dividends paid by an FIE in China to its immediate holding company in Hong Kong will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of no more than 5% (if the foreign investor owns directly at least 25% of the shares of the FIE).The Company did not record any dividend withholding tax, as it has no retained earnings for any of the periods presented.

16. TAXATION (CONTINUED)
As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the Group had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately RMB 3,660,846 and RMB 5,537,754, respectively, which arose from the subsidiaries, VIE and VIEs subsidiaries established in the PRC. The loss carry forwards will expire during the period from 2019 to 2028.
The Group believes that it is more likely than not that the net accumulated operating losses and other deferred tax assets will not be utilized in the future based on an evaluation of a variety of factors including the Groups operating history, accumulated deficit, existence of taxable temporary differences and reversal periods. Therefore, the Group provided full valuation allowances for the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of income taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer. The statute of limitations will be extended to five years under special circumstances, which are not clearly defined, but an underpayment of income tax liability exceeding RMB100 is specifically listed as a special circumstance. In the case of a transfer pricing related adjustment, the statute of limitations is ten years. There is no statute of limitations in the case of tax evasion. The Groups PRC subsidiaries are therefore subject to examination by the PRC tax authorities from 2014 through 2018 on non-transfer pricing matters, and from 2014 through 2018 on transfer pricing matters.
17. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, amount due from related parties and prepayments. The Group places its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality. Accounts receivable mainly consist of amounts receivable from merchants, which are all with good collection history. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk. With respect to prepayments, the Group performs on-going credit evaluations of the financial condition of these suppliers.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Bitauto Holdings Limited
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bitauto Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss), cash flows and changes in shareholders equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for revenues from contracts with customers in 2018.
Basis for Opinions
The Companys management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15 of the Form 20-F. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Companys consolidated financial statements and on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016, 2017 AND 2018
(Amounts in thousands of Renminbi (RMB), except for share and per share data)
1. Principal activities and organization (continued)
Variable interest entities
To comply with the PRC laws and regulations that restrict foreign ownership of companies involved in provision of internet content and other restricted businesses, the Group operates its websites and engages in such restricted businesses in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interest are held by certain management members of the Company and certain PRC entities (nominee shareholders). The Company obtained control over these PRC domestic companies by entering into a series of contractual agreements with these PRC domestic companies and their respective nominee shareholders. These contractual agreements include loan agreements, irrevocable power of attorney, share pledge agreements, exclusive business cooperation agreements and exclusive option agreements. Through these contractual agreements, the Company is entitled to receive a majority of residual returns and is obligated to absorb a majority of the risk of losses of these PRC domestic companies. Based on these contractual agreements, management concluded that these PRC domestic companies are VIEs of the Company, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. As such, the Group consolidated financial results of VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs in the Groups consolidated financial statements.
The summary of these contractual agreements are further described as below.
Loan Agreements
Pursuant to the relevant loan agreements, the relevant PRC subsidiaries provided interest-free loans to the respective nominee shareholders of the VIEs. The purpose of the loans is to provide capital and/or registered capital to VIEs in order to develop their businesses. The loan agreements have indefinite terms or certain terms that could be extended upon mutual written consent of the parties.
Irrevocable Power of Attorney
Each nominee shareholder of the VIEs executed an irrevocable power of attorney, appointing the relevant PRC subsidiaries or a person designated by such PRC subsidiaries as his or her attorney-in-fact to attend shareholders meetings of the respective VIEs, exercise all the shareholders voting rights, including but not limited to the sale, transfer, pledge or disposition of the shareholders equity interest in the VIEs, and designate or appoint legal representatives, directors and officers of the relevant VIEs. Each power of attorney remains valid and irrevocable from the date of execution so long as the person remains as the nominee shareholder of the respective VIEs.
Share Pledge Agreements
Pursuant to the share pledge agreements, the nominee shareholders of the VIEs have pledged all of their equity interest in the relevant VIEs to the relevant PRC subsidiaries as collateral for all of the VIEs and nominee shareholders payments due to the relevant PRC subsidiaries and to secure their obligations under applicable contractual agreements. Each pledge of shares or equity interest is effective on the date when it is registered with the local administration for industry and commerce and remains effective until all payments due under the relevant exclusive business cooperation agreement or all the obligations under the relevant contractual agreements have been fulfilled by the relevant VIEs. During the term of a pledge, the relevant PRC subsidiaries, the pledgees, may dispose of the pledge if the VIE defaults under the exclusive business cooperation agreement. Each of the relevant PRC subsidiaries also has the right to collect dividends generated by the shares or equity interest pursuant to these pledge agreements. In addition, each nominee shareholder of the relevant VIEs agrees not to transfer or create any new encumbrance adverse to the relevant PRC subsidiaries on the shareholders equity interest in such VIEs without prior written consent of the relevant PRC subsidiaries.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016, 2017 AND 2018
(Amounts in thousands of Renminbi (RMB), except for share and per share data)
1. Principal activities and organization (continued)
Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement
The relevant PRC subsidiaries and relevant VIEs entered into exclusive business cooperation agreements under which the relevant PRC subsidiaries provide the relevant VIEs, on an exclusive basis, with technical, consulting and other services in relation to the respective VIEs business. The VIEs shall pay service fees to the relevant PRC subsidiaries determined based on several metrics including the type, value and market price of the services provided by the relevant PRC subsidiaries and the operating conditions of the relevant VIEs. During the terms of the agreements, the relevant VIEs have agreed not to accept any consultation and/or services provided by any third party without the relevant PRC subsidiaries prior written consent. The agreements have certain terms that could be extended upon the relevant PRC subsidiaries prior written consent, or remain effective unless the relevant PRC subsidiaries terminate them in writing or either the relevant PRC subsidiaries or the relevant VIEs fail to obtain the governments approval for the renewal of the relevant business license.
Exclusive Option Agreements
Pursuant to these exclusive option agreements, each of the nominee shareholders of the VIEs irrevocably granted the relevant PRC subsidiaries an exclusive right to purchase, or designate one or more persons to purchase, the equity interest in the relevant VIEs then held by such nominee shareholder of the respective VIEs. The relevant PRC subsidiaries or their designees may purchase such equity interest at any time, once or at multiple times, in part or in whole at their own sole and absolute discretion to the extent permitted by the PRC laws. The agreements have certain terms that could be extended at the relevant PRC subsidiaries discretion, or remain effective until all the equity interest held by the nominee shareholders of the VIEs have been transferred or assigned to the relevant PRC subsidiaries or any other persons designated by them.
Risks in relations to the VIE structure
Based on the advice of the Companys PRC legal counsel, the ownership structure and contractual agreement of the VIEs and subsidiaries in the PRC do not violate any existing PRC laws and regulations. Therefore, in the opinion of management, (i) the ownership structure of the Company and the VIEs do not violate any existing PRC laws and regulations;(ii) the contractual agreement with VIEs and their nominee shareholders are valid and binding, and will not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect;(iii) the Groups business operation are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations in all material respects.
However, there are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations, and the PRC government may in the future take a view that is contrary to the above opinion. If the current ownership structure of the Company and its contractual arrangements with the VIEs and their nominee shareholders were found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, the Group may be subject to penalties, which may include but not to be limited to, revocation of the Groups business and operating licenses, being required to discontinue or restrict the Groups operations, or being required to restructure the Groups ownership structure or operations. These penalties may result in a material and adverse effect on the Groups ability to conduct its operations. In such cases, the Company may not be able to operate or control the VIEs, which may result in deconsolidation of the VIEs.

1. Principal activities and organization (continued)
In accordance with contractual agreements, the Company has the power to direct activities of the VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs and can have assets transferred out of the VIEs and the subsidiaries of VIEs. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in any of the consolidated VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs that can be used only to settle obligations of these entities, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves amounting to RMB641.3 million as of December 31, 2018 (2017: RMB577.0 million). Creditors of the VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of the liabilities of the consolidated VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs.
Currently, there is no contractual arrangement that requires the Company to provide any additional financial support to the VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs. As the Company conducts its business primarily based on the licenses and approvals held by its VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs, the Company may provide additional financial support on a discretionary basis in the future.
In addition to above variable interest entities the Company consolidated through contractual arrangements, the Company also established a number of asset-backed securitization vehicles to issue debt securities to third party investors. The vehicles are considered variable interest entities in accordance with ASC 810 and the Company are considered primary beneficiary of such variable interest entities. Accordingly, the Company consolidated these asset-backed securitization vehicles.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
(b) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs for which the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary.
A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies.
A VIE is an entity in which the Company, or its subsidiaries, through contractual agreements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with, ownership of the entity, and therefore the Company or its subsidiaries are the primary beneficiary of the entity.
All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries, the VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs acquired or disposed of during the year are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(c) Business combinations and noncontrolling interests
The Group accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805 Business Combinations. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the acquiree, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss). During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Group may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).
In a business combination considered as a step acquisition, the Group remeasures the previously held equity interest in the acquiree immediately before obtaining control at its acquisition-date fair value and the re-measurement gain or loss, if any, is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).
For the Companys majority-owned subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs, a noncontrolling interest is recognized to reflect the portion of their equity which is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Noncontrolling interests are classified as a separate line item in the equity section of the Groups consolidated balance sheets and have been separately disclosed in the Groups consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) to distinguish the interests from that of the Company.
(d) Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Group to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates are used for, but not limited to assessment for fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, estimating useful lives of intangible assets, assessment for impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, investment in equity investees, assessment for fair value of investment in convertible notes , determining allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable, allowance for credit losses for finance receivables, assessment for fair value of guarantee liabilities, valuation and recognition of share-based compensation and realization of deferred tax assets. The Group bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(e) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, and has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer of the Group. The Group managed its business in three reportable segments, namely advertising and subscription business, transaction services business and digital marketing solutions business.
(f) Foreign currency translation
The Company, its subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs individually determine their functional currency based on the criteria of ASC 830 Foreign Currency Matters. The functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries outside China are the U.S. dollar (US$) and the Hong Kong dollar (HKD), and the functional currency of PRC subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs is the RMB. Since the Groups operations are primarily denominated in the RMB, the Group has chosen the RMB as the reporting currency for the consolidated financial statements.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).
The financial statements of the entities with non-RMB functional currencies are translated into RMB using the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, average exchange rate for the year for income and expense items, and historical exchange rate for equity items. Translation gains or losses arising from the translation are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders equity.

(g) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and on hand, time deposits and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
(h) Restricted cash
Cash that is restricted as to withdrawal for use or pledged as security is reported separately on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. The Group held restricted cash of RMB1.48 billion and RMB4.79 billion as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, which were primarily pledged for bank borrowings, guarantees, asset-backed securitization debt and bills payable. Please refer to Note 6 for further details.
The Group provides loan facilitation services to facilitate auto loans to car buyers offered by auto loan facilitation financing partners. The auto loan facilitation financing partners offer financing solutions to car buyers. The Group provides guarantee in the event of default (please refer to Note 2 (v) for further details). As a result, the Group, as the guarantor, is required to maintain a separate guarantee funds, held as an escrow account with the auto loan facilitation financing partners. These guarantee funds are required by different financial institutions to be maintained at certain percentage of the balance of loans outstanding.
From January 1, 2018, the Group adopted ASU No. 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires companies to include amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts presented in the statement of cash flows. As a result of new accounting guidance adopted on January 1, 2018, the consolidated statements of cash flows was retrospectively adjusted to include restricted cash in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
(i) Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable are amounts due from customers for services performed or merchandise sold in the ordinary course of business. If collection of accounts receivable is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period when a loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, such as the accounts aging, financial conditions of the customer and industry trend.
(j) Bills receivable
Bills receivable represent short-term notes receivables issued by reputable financial institutions that entitle the Group to receive the full face amount from the financial institutions at maturity, which generally range from three to six months from the date of issuance.

(k) Finance receivables, net
The Group provides automobile financing lease services to individual customers and automobile dealers. The net investment of the lease will be recorded as finance receivables upon the inception of the lease. The net investment in a lease consists of the minimum lease payments, net of executory costs plus the unguaranteed residual value, less the unearned interest income plus the unamortized initial direct costs related to the lease. The accrued interests are also included in the finance receivables balance. Over the period of a lease, each lease payment received is allocated between the repayment of the net investment in the lease and lease income based on the effective interest method so as to produce a constant rate of return on the net investment in the lease. The lease income is recorded as the Groups revenue in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss). Initial direct costs of the capital leases are amortized over the lease term by adjusting against the related lease income. The net investment in the leases, net of allowance for credit losses, is presented as finance receivables and classified as current or non-current assets in the balance sheets based on the duration of the remaining lease terms. The Groups finance receivables are typically secured with automobiles in the lease arrangements. The allowance for credit losses is based on a systematic, ongoing review and valuation performed as part of the credit-risk evaluation process.
The Group reviews credit quality of its finance receivables based on customer repayment activities, such as the historical loss probability and days past due information. The entire balance of a finance receivable is considered contractually past due if the minimum required payment is not received by the contractual repayment day. If any delinquency arises, the Group will consider initiating collection process, which includes (a) making phone calls and sending collection notice to the customers; (b) outsourcing to collection specialists to conduct repossession of collateral automobiles; (c) lawsuit or disposal of collateral. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the fair value of collateral automobile is greater than carrying amount of finance receivable. The Group has not established a practice of modifying the contractual payment terms, or entering into any troubled debt restructurings of the finance receivables with its customers.
Accrued lease income on finance receivables is calculated based on the effective interest rate of the net investment. Finance receivables are placed on non-accrual status upon reaching past due status for more than 90 days. When a finance receivable is placed on non-accrual status, the Group stops accruing interest. The finance receivables in non-accrual status were RMB245.7 million and RMB411.6 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Lease income is subsequently recognized only upon the receipt of cash payments. The Group determines it is probable that, certain finance receivables that are past due for 180 days after the above mentioned collection process has been administered, will become uncollectable, and writes off such finance receivables.

(l) Investment in equity investees
Investment in equity investees represents the Groups investments in privately-held companies. The Group applies the equity method to account for an equity investment, in common stock or in-substance common stock, according to ASC 323 Investment - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, over which it has significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control.
An investment in in-substance common stock is an investment in an entity that has risk and reward characteristics that are substantially similar to that entitys common stock. The Group considers subordination, risks and rewards of ownership and obligation to transfer value when determining whether an investment in an entity is substantially similar to an investment in that entitys common stock.
For other equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and over which the Group neither has significant influence nor control through investment in common stock or in-substance common stock, the cost method is used for the year ended December 31, 2017. From January 1, 2018, the Group adopted ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.
Under the equity method, the Groups share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the equity investee is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) and its share of post-acquisition movements in accumulated other comprehensive income is recognized in shareholders equity. The excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the underlying equity in net assets of the equity investee represents goodwill and intangible assets acquired. When the Groups share of losses in the equity investee equals or exceeds its interest in the equity investee, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless the Group has guaranteed obligations of the investee or is otherwise committed to provide further financial support for the investee.
From time to time, the rights on certain investments in which the Group has significant influence were modified with new rounds of financing. These modifications may be additions or removals of certain rights. As a result of such modification, these equity investments, which were accounted for using equity method, were reclassified as investments without readily determinable fair value, or vice versa. The carrying amount of the investments was remeasured upon the reclassification and a deemed disposal gain or loss was recognized in the investment loss in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).
The Group continually reviews its investments in equity investees to determine whether a decline in fair value below the carrying value is other than temporary. The primary factors the Group considers in its determination are the length of time that the fair value of the investment is below the carrying value; the financial condition, operating performance and the prospects of the equity investee; and other company specific information such as recent financing rounds. If the decline in fair value is deemed to be other than temporary, the carrying value of the equity investee is written down to fair value, which is reflected in share of results of equity investees and investment loss in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).

(m) Investment in convertible notes
The financial instruments guidance in ASC 825-10 permits reporting entities to apply the fair value option on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Therefore, a reporting entity can elect the fair value option for certain instruments but not others within a group of similar instruments. Such fair value option permits the irrevocable election on an instrument-by-instrument basis at initial recognition of an asset or liability or upon an event that gives rise to a new basis of accounting for that instrument. The investments accounted for under the fair value option are carried at fair value with realized or unrealized gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss). The Group has elected the fair value option to account for investment in convertible notes. The convertible notes the Group held were interest free. Please refer to Note 10 for further details.
(n) Property, plant, and equipment, net
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment if any. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with no residual value based on the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets, which range as follows:
Computers and servers |
|
3 5 years |
Automobiles for Group uses |
|
5 years |
Automobiles for operating leases |
|
5 years |
Furniture and fixtures |
|
3 5 years |
Leasehold improvements |
|
shorter of remaining lease period or estimated useful life |
Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets disposed of or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in other gains, net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(o) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Group has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. In the qualitative assessment, the Group considers primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. The Group will perform the quantitative impairment test if the Group bypasses the qualitative assessment, or based on the qualitative assessment, if it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than the carrying amount.
In performing the two-step quantitative impairment test, the first step compares the fair values of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying amount of a reporting units goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business combination with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. This allocation process is only performed for the purposes of evaluating goodwill impairment and does not result in an entry to adjust the value of any assets or liabilities. Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets, liabilities and goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit.

(p) Intangible assets, net
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment if any. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized initially at fair value at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized and are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired in accordance with ASC subtopic 350-30 (ASC 350-30), Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. Separately identifiable intangible assets that have determinable lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method as follows:
Purchased software |
|
5 - 10 years |
Digital Sales Assistant system |
|
10 years |

(q) Impairment of long-lived assets
The Group reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
(r) Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of upfront fees, debt issuance costs, and debt discounts or premiums. Upfront fees, debt issuance costs, and debt discounts or premiums are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds received and the related accretion is recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) over the estimated term of the facilities and borrowings using the effective interest method.

(s) Asset-backed securitization debt
The Group securitizes finance receivables arising from its consumers through the transfer of those assets to asset-backed securitization vehicles. The securitization vehicles usually issue senior tranche debt securities to third party investors, collateralized by the transferred assets, and subordinate tranche debt securities to the Group. In limited circumstances, the Group may also subscribe a portion of the senior tranche debt securities. The asset-backed debt securities issued by the securitization vehicles to third party investors are recourse to the Group. The securitization vehicles are considered consolidated variable interest entities of the Group, and the asset-backed debt securities subscribed by third party investors are reported as current and non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets based on their respective expected repayment dates.
(t) Accounts payable
Accounts payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
(u) Bills payable
Bills payable represents short-term bank acceptance notes issued by financial institutions that entitle the holder to receive the stated amount from the financial institutions at the maturity date of the notes. The Group has utilized bills payable to settle amounts owed to the suppliers.

(v) Guarantee liabilities
The Group provides loan facilitation services to facilitate auto loans to car buyers offered by auto loan facilitation financing partners. The auto loan facilitation financing partners offer financing solutions to car buyers (borrowers) and the Group provides guarantee in the event of default on the full repayment of principal and any accrued interests.
The guarantee is within the scope of ASC Topic 460 Guarantees. The portion of the contract consideration that relates to ASC 460 must first be allocated to the guarantee, with the residual portion of the transaction price being recorded under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The liability is recognized at fair value at the inception of the guarantee.
Subsequent to the initial recognition of the guarantee liability, the Groups guarantee obligations are measured in a combination of two components: (i) ASC 460 component and (ii) ASC 450 (ASC Topic 450 Contingencies) component. The liability recorded based on ASC 460 is determined on a contract-by-contract basis and is reduced as the Group is released from the underlying risk, meaning as the loan is repaid by the borrowers or when the financial institutions are compensated in the event of a default. Generally, the liability is reduced by a systematic and rational amortization method, e.g. over the term of the loan. This component is a stand ready obligation which is not subject to the probable threshold used to record a contingent obligation. The other component is a contingent liability determined using historical experience of borrower defaults, representing the obligation to make future payments, measured using the guidance per ASC 450. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the guarantee obligation is measured at the greater of the amount determined per ASC 460 (guarantee liability) and the amount determined based on ASC 450 (contingent liability). Any gains or losses from guarantee liability is recognized in other gains, net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).
As of December 31 2018, the amount of maximum potential future payments that the Group could be required to make under the guarantee was RMB9.14 billion. Maximum potential future payments are approximately the total outstanding auto loan balance that the Group facilitated.
(w) Convertible debt
The Group determines the appropriate accounting treatment of its convertible debt in accordance with the terms in relation to the conversion feature, call and put option, and beneficial conversion feature. After considering the impact of such features, the Company may account for such instrument as a liability in its entirety, or separate the instrument into debt and equity components following the respective guidance described under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging and ASC 470 Debt.
The debt discount, if any, together with related issuance cost are subsequently amortized as interest expense, using the effective interest method, from the issuance date to the earliest conversion date. Convertible debt is classified as a current liability if their due date is or will be within one year from the balance sheet date.

Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurement for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
The Group measures certain financial assets, including the investments under the equity method, and investments without readily determinable fair value, investment in convertible notes, intangible assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment, at fair value when an impairment charge is recognized. And the fair value of the guarantee liability recorded at the inception of the loan was estimated based on the third-party appraisals report.
Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Accounting guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
Accounting guidance also describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.
(y) Treasury shares
The Companys equity instruments that are repurchased are recognized at cost and deducted from equity as treasury shares. No gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Companys equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration, if reissued, is recognized in additional paid-in capital. Voting rights related to treasury shares are nullified for the Company and no dividends are allocated to them. In 2018, the board of directors approved a US$150.0 million share repurchase plan. The share repurchase plan does not require the Company to acquire a specific number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The share repurchased during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 was nil, nil and 2,398,780, respectively.

(z) Statutory reserves
In accordance with the laws applicable to the Foreign Investment Enterprises established in the PRC, the Companys subsidiaries registered as wholly-owned foreign enterprise have to make appropriations from their net income based on PRC accounting standards to reserve funds including general reserve fund, enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund. The appropriation to the general reserve fund must be at least 10% of the net income based on PRC accounting standards until such appropriations for the fund reach 50% of the registered capital of the entity. Appropriations to the enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund are made at the discretion of the respective entity.
In addition, in accordance with the PRC Company Laws, the Companys VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs, registered as Chinese domestic companies, must make appropriations from their net income based on PRC accounting standards to non-distributable reserve funds including statutory surplus fund and discretionary surplus fund. The appropriation to the statutory surplus fund must be at least 10% of the net income based on PRC accounting standards until such appropriations for the fund reach 50% of the registered capital of the entity. Appropriation to the discretionary surplus fund is made at the discretion of the respective entity.
None of these reserves are allowed to be transferred to the Company in terms of dividends, loans or advances, nor can they be distributed except under liquidation.

(aa) Revenue recognition
Starting from January 1, 2018, the Group adopted ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) using the modified retrospective method to contracts that were not completed as of the date of adoption. As such, the comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition (ASC 605) in effect for periods prior to January 1, 2018. In accordance with ASC 606, VAT was presented on a net basis instead of on a gross basis under ASC 605, which meant VAT was classified from cost of revenues to net against revenues and VAT refunds were presented as other gains, net. Other than the presentation of VAT, the impact from adopting ASC 606 was not material to the Groups consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018. There was no cumulative effect on the opening balance of accumulated deficit upon adoption of ASC 606.
The following table illustrates the effect of the adoption of ASC 606 by presenting a comparison of selected line items from the Groups consolidated statement of comprehensive income/(loss) for the year ended December 31, 2018 (amounts in thousands of RMB):

Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services was transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expected to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The recognition of revenue involves certain management judgments including identification of performance obligations, standalone selling price for each performance obligation, etc. Also revenue arrangements are assessed to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. Revenue is recognized at a point in time or over time when the Group satisfies a performance obligation. The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation.
The Group determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
Step 1: identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
Step 2: identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
Step 3: determination of the transaction price;
Step 4: allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
Step 5: recognition of revenue when, or as, the Group satisfies a performance obligation.

(aa) Revenue recognition (continued)
Cost to obtain a contract
The incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract primarily consist of commissions associated with loan facilitation services, which recognized as cost of revenue when incurred.
Contract balances
Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of prepayment or payment within one year or less. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers, and the Group generally does not provide significant financing terms. Accounts receivable represents amounts invoiced, and revenue recognized prior to invoicing when the Group has satisfied its performance obligations and has the unconditional right to consideration.
Receipts in advance relates to unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the year. The Group invoices its customers based on the payment terms stipulated in the executed subscription agreements, which generally ranges from several months to one year.

(cc) Selling and administrative expenses
Selling and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits for the sales and marketing personnel and administrative personnel, sales and marketing expenses, share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization of assets and other expenses for daily operations.
Advertising expenditures are expensed as incurred and are included in selling and administrative expenses. Total advertising expenditures were RMB363.8 million, RMB631.7 million and RMB631.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018.
(dd) Product development expenses
Product development expenses consist primarily of staff costs related to personnel involved in the development and enhancement of the Groups service offerings on its websites, mobile application and related software. The Group recognizes these costs as expenses when incurred, unless they result in significant additional functionality, in which case they are capitalized.
(ee) Share-based compensation
The Groups share-based awards mainly comprise share options and RSUs. In accordance with ASC 718 Compensation Stock Compensation, share-based awards granted to employees are measured at fair value on grant date and share-based compensation expense is recognized (i) immediately at the grant date if no vesting conditions are required, or (ii) using the graded vesting method, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period.
All transactions in which goods or services are received in exchange for equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
If a share-based award is modified after the grant date, additional compensation expenses are recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified equity instrument over the fair value of the original equity instrument immediately before modification. The additional compensation expenses are recognized immediately on the date of the modification or over the remaining requisite service period, depending on the vesting status of the award.
The Group determined the fair value of share options with the assistance of independent third-party valuation firms. The binomial option pricing model was applied in determining the fair value of share options. The fair value of RSUs granted subsequent to the initial public offering will be the price of publicly traded shares on the date of grant.
The Group determined the fair value of share options granted by its subsidiaries with the assistance of independent third-party valuation firms. The binomial option pricing model or discount cash flow model were applied in determining the fair value of share options. The Groups subsidiary also granted RSUs subsequent to the initial public offering. The fair value of such RSUs will be the price of publicly traded shares on the date of grant.

(ff) Employee Benefits - PRC contribution scheme
Full-time employees of the Group in the PRC participate in a government mandated contribution scheme pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the Group makes contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees salaries. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations for further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefit relating to their current and past services. The total expenses for the scheme were RMB282.2 million, RMB364.5 million and RMB424.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
(gg) Income taxes
The Group accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred income taxes are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowance is provided on deferred tax assets to the extent that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realizable in the foreseeable future.
The Group adopts ASC 740-10-25 Income Taxes which prescribes a more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures. The Group did not have significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions or any unrecognized liabilities, interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

(hh) Leases
Each lease is classified at the inception date as either a capital lease or an operating lease.
A lease is a capital lease if any of the following conditions exist: a) ownership is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term, b) there is a bargain purchase option, c) the lease term is at least 75% of the propertys estimated remaining economic life or d) the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term is 90% or more of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at the inception date. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases.
Where the Group is a lessee, a capital lease is accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and an incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. The Group records the leased property as property, plant and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets and depreciated in the same manner as the other equipment. Under operating lease, the payments made by the lessee are charged to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss) on a straight-line basis over the terms of underlying lease.
Where the Group is a lessor, direct financing leases and leaseback transactions are accounted for as a capital lease if the transaction satisfies one of the four capital lease conditions as discussed above. Revenue is recognized over the lease period on a systematic and rational basis so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the financing leases. Under operating lease, the payments received by the lessor are recorded as lease income in the period in which the payment is received or becomes receivable.
(ii) Government grants
Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset.

(jj) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted earnings per ordinary share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary and potential ordinary shares outstanding during the year, if the effect of potential ordinary shares is dilutive. Potential ordinary shares for the Company include incremental shares of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of share options and RSUs, and conversion of convertible debt.
Additionally, for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share, Yixins net income/(loss) attributable to Bitauto Holdings Limited is adjusted as follows:
For the purpose of calculating basic earnings per share, Yixins net income/(loss) attributable to Bitauto Holdings Limited was determined using the two-class method by allocating Yixins net income/(loss) to each class of participating shares issued by Yixin, including the outstanding ordinary shares and redeemable convertible preference shares, prior to the IPO of Yixin.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the potentially issuable shares of Yixin, namely (i) the redeemable convertible preference shares, prior to the IPO of Yixin, and (ii) the share options and RSUs granted by Yixin, are assessed for dilutive impact. The diluted earnings per share will be adjusted if the impact is deemed dilutive.

3. Recent accounting pronouncements
In February, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU No. 2016-02 specifies the accounting for leases. For operating leases, this standard requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, on a generally straight-line basis. In addition, this standard requires both lessees and lessors to disclose certain key information about lease transactions. This standard is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements (ASU 2018-11), which addresses implementation issues related to the new lease standard. This guidance is effective for the Group as of January 1, 2019 and the Group will adopt this guidance using the modified retrospective approach with prior periods still accounted for under ASC Topic 840 Leases (ASC 840). This guidance includes a number of optional practical expedients that the Group may elect to apply, including an expedient that permits lease agreements that are twelve months or less to be excluded from the balance sheet. Having summarized lease agreements the Group entered into and identified any practical expedients applicable, the Group noted the most significant impact from adoption of the new lease standards is on the operating lease agreements that the Group entered into as a lessee, where a right-of-use asset and a lease liability shall be recorded on its consolidated balance sheets without any impact on the accumulated deficit upon adoption. The Group is currently evaluating the quantitative impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. Topic 326 introduces expected credit loss model, which is different from the incurred loss model the Group currently applied. It will incorporate both available forward looking information and historical pattern to estimate the lifetime expected credit losses for all finance receivables, including those that have not become past due. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. While the Group is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, it is generally expected that the adoption will likely increase the level of provision for credit losses of finance receivables.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure FrameworkChanges to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13) which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Under the guidance, the Group will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the requirements. The Group is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting units carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance should be adopted on a prospective basis for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Group is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Concentration of risks
(a) Concentration of customers
There were no customers that individually represented greater than 10% of the total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
(b) Concentration of credit risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and finance receivables.
As of December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, substantially all of the Groups cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were held by major financial institutions located in Hong Kong and the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality. Under the new Bankruptcy Law effective in 2007, a Chinese bank may go into bankruptcy. In the event of bankruptcy of one of the banks which holds the Groups deposits, it is unlikely to claim its deposits bank in full since it is unlikely to be classified as a secured creditor based on PRC laws.
Accounts receivable and finance receivables are typically unsecured or secured with automobiles for financing lease and derived from revenue earned from customers in the PRC, which are exposed to credit risk. The risk is mitigated by credit evaluations the Group performs on its customers and its ongoing monitoring process of outstanding balance. The Group maintains reserves for estimated credit losses and these losses have generally been within its expectations.
The Group is also exposed to credit risk in relation to investment in convertible notes measured at fair value. The maximum exposure at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of the investment.
(c) Interest rate risk
The Groups interest rate risk arises from the Groups borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash held at variable rates.
(d) Liquidity risk
The Group aims to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the policy of the Group is to consistently monitor the Groups liquidity risk and to maintain adequate cash and cash equivalents to meet the Groups liquidity requirements.
The remaining contractual maturities (or the earliest date a financial liability may become payable in the absence of a fixed maturity date) at the balance sheet date mainly includes the Groups financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, bills receivable, finance receivables, investment in convertible notes and other financial assets; financial liabilities such as borrowings, asset-backed securitization debt, accounts payable, bills payable, convertible debt and other financial liabilities; and operating lease commitments based on contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(Amounts in thousands of Renminbi (RMB), except for share and per share data)
4. Concentration of risks (continued)
(e) Foreign currency exchange rate risk
In July 2005, the PRC government changed its decades-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the US$, and the RMB appreciated more than 20% against the US$ over the following three years. Between July 2008 and June 2010, this appreciation halted and the exchange rate between the RMB and the US$ remained within a narrow band. Since June 2010, the RMB has fluctuated against the US$, at times significantly and unpredictably. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the US$ in the future.
(f) Currency convertibility risk
Substantially all of the Groups businesses are transacted in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In the PRC, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the Peoples Bank of China (the PBOC). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Group in the PRC must be processed through the PBOC or other PRC foreign exchange regulatory bodies and require certain supporting documentation in order to effect the remittance.

5. Significant equity transactions and acquisitions
Acquisition of additional interest in Target Net (Beijing) Technology Company Limited (Target Net)
As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, the Group held 51% equity interest in Target Net, an unlisted entity based in the PRC and involved in the provision of internet information distribution services. In October 2017, Target Net repurchased its equity interests held by a noncontrolling shareholder for a total consideration of RMB36.3 million, which increased the Groups ownership interest in Target Net to 74.8%. It was considered to be an equity transaction and the excess of the noncontrolling interest repurchased over the consideration was recorded in equity.
Acquisition of KKC
In April 2015 and September 2016, the Group acquired equity interest of KKC, an unlisted entity based in the PRC and involved in the used car business, in aggregate to approximately 54.8% on a fully diluted basis. Although holding the majority of equity interest, the Group did not obtain control over KKC due to the absence of the majority of voting power at the board of directors of KKC. In November 2016, the Group further acquired equity interest of KKC, increasing its equity interest to 49.7% of ordinary shares and approximately 74.8% on a fully diluted basis, and obtained control over KKC. The Group acquired KKC to expand its used car business.
The transaction in November 2016 was considered a step acquisition under ASC 805 Business Combinations.

Acquisition of Beijing Xinchuang Interactive Advertising Company Limited (Xinchuang)
As of December 31, 2016, the Group held 30% equity interest in Xinchuang, an unlisted entity located in the PRC and engaged in internet digital marketing services. In January 2017, the Group acquired an additional 30% of the equity interest, increasing its ownership interest to 60%. After the transaction, Xinchuang was consolidated as a subsidiary of CIG, one of the Groups subsidiaries. The Group acquired Xinchuang to expand its digital marketing solutions business.
This transaction was considered as a step acquisition under ASC 805 Business Combinations. A step acquisition gain of RMB36.3 million arising from revaluation of previously held equity interest was recognized in the investment income/(loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).
The total purchase consideration for acquiring Xinchuang was RMB105.6 million, including a liability of RMB63.6 million for the committed purchase of the remaining 40% equity interest in the following two years equally. In October 2017, a modification of the original share purchase agreement was entered into to terminate the commitment. It was considered an equity transaction and the difference between the liability as at modification date and the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest was recorded in equity.

The goodwill represented expected synergies arising on acquisitions. The knowledge and expertise of employees is not separable. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria for recognition as intangible asset under ASC 350 Intangibles Goodwill and Other. None of the goodwill recognized was expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The intangible assets arising from the acquisition include customer relationship, software, and brand name. The estimated useful lives were described in Note 2 (p).
The noncontrolling interest has been recognized at fair value on the acquisition date.
Neither the results of operations since the acquisition date nor the pro forma results of operations of the acquirees were presented because the effects of these business combinations, individually or in the aggregate, were not significant to the Groups consolidated results of operations.

Investments without readily determinable fair value
As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the carrying value of the Groups investments without readily determinable fair value were RMB1.09 billion and RMB1.16 billion, respectively. Investments that do not have readily determinable fair values are accounted for at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, the Group invested RMB268.5 million, RMB34.7 million, and RMB60.3 million in multiple private companies accounted for investments without readily determinable fair value respectively, which management believes will lead to future operating synergies with the Groups business in future years.

19. Convertible debt
On August 2, 2016, the Company issued convertible notes (the PAG Notes) for an aggregate principal amount of US$150.0 million to PA Grand Opportunity Limited (PAG). The PAG Notes are due on August 1, 2021 and bear interest of 2% annually which will be paid semi-annually beginning on February 2, 2017.
The PAG Notes can be converted, at the holders option, into the Companys fully paid American Depositary Shares (ADSs) or ordinary shares with an initial conversion price of approximately US$23.67 per ADS, representing an initial conversion rate of 4,224.7671 ADSs per US$100,000 principal amount of the PAG Notes.
The issuance costs of the PAG Notes were US$0.18 million and are being amortized to interest expense, using the effective interest method, until the maturity date of the PAG Notes.
The Company has accounted for the PAG Notes in accordance with ASC 470, as a single instrument classified as a long-term debt within the consolidated financial statements. The value of the PAG Notes is measured by the cash received. The Company recorded the interest expenses according to its annual interest rate. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the value of the PAG Notes in non-current liabilities is RMB707.9 million and RMB774.7 million, respectively.
The Company evaluated the embedded conversion features contained in the PAG Notes in accordance with ASC 815-10-15 to determine if the conversion option requires bifurcation. In accordance with ASC 815-10-15-83, the conversion option meets the definition of a derivative. However, bifurcation of conversion option from the PAG Notes is not required as the scope exception prescribed in ASC 815-10-15-74 is met as the conversion option is considered indexed to the entitys own stock and classified in stockholders equity.
As the conversion option was not bifurcated, the Company then assessed if there was any beneficial conversion feature (BCF) in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Company recognized a BCF of US$27.9 million (RMB185.7 million) through a credit to additional paid-in capital because the fair value per ordinary share of US$28.08 exceeded the conversion price of US$23.67 at the commitment date on August 2, 2016. The resulting discount of US$27.9 million to the PAG Notes is then accreted to the redemption value as interest expense using the effective interest method through the consolidated statement of comprehensive income/(loss) over the term of the PAG Notes.
The Company evaluated the embedded contingent redemption features contained in the PAG Notes in accordance with ASC 815-15-25-42 and ASC 815-15-25-26. The contingent redemption features were not required to be bifurcated because they are considered to be clearly and closely related to the debt host contract, as the PAG Notes were not issued at a substantial discount and are puttable at par.
On November 23, 2017, a third party investor who purchased US$24.0 million of the PAG Notes from PAG notified the Company of its intent of conversion. Upon conversion, the Company issued 1,013,941 ordinary shares to the investor and accordingly, the balance of the PAG Notes converted and related unamortized discounts and issuance costs, which amounted to RMB158.5 million, were recorded as the Companys shareholders equity. The unamortized BCF associated with the PAG Notes converted, which amounted to RMB23.3 million, was expensed immediately in accordance with ASC 470-20 Debt with conversion and other options.

The contractual repayment amount of the convertible debt is nil for each of the years ending December 31, 2019 and 2020, and US$126.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Group estimated it may repurchase the outstanding convertible debt in whole in cash before maturity.

In 2015, 2016 and 2017, Yixin issued redeemable convertible preference shares to JD Financial Investment Limited (one subsidiary of JD.com, Inc., collectively as JD together with other subsidiaries) and other third-party investors. The redeemable convertible preference shares contain conversion features and redemption features. The Group records accretion of redemption value in accordance with ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Group elects to use the effective interest method for the changes of redemption value over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the noncontrolling interests.
Upon completion of Yixins IPO on November 16, 2017, all the redeemable convertible preference shares were automatically converted into ordinary shares of Yixin. As of December 31, 2018, the Group held 44.8% (2017: 45.2%) of the then outstanding ordinary shares of Yixin. However, through the voting proxy agreement that the Group entered into with JD and another shareholder, the Group is able to control Yixin by gaining the simple majority of the voting rights in Yixins shareholders meeting immediately after the IPO. Accordingly, the Group continues to consolidate the operations and the financial results of Yixin and provide for noncontrolling interests reflecting ordinary shares in Yixin held by shareholders other than the Group in the consolidated financial statements. The Group recognized a one-time credit to additional paid-in capital of RMB2.37 billion in shareholders equity in the consolidated balance sheets to reflect the increase in the value of the Groups equity in Yixin that resulted from the completion of Yixins IPO and conversion of redeemable convertible preference shares.
In 2017, one subsidiary of the Group issued ordinary shares with redemption features to certain third-party investors. The Group classifies redeemable noncontrolling interests as mezzanine equity and records accretion of redemption value in accordance with ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Group elects to use the effective interest method for the changes of redemption value over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the noncontrolling interests.

30. Operating segment information
As disclosed in Note 2(e), the Group managed its business in three reportable segments, namely advertising and subscription business, transaction services business and digital marketing solutions business.
Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.
As the Groups long-lived assets are substantially all located in the PRC and substantially all the Groups revenues are derived from external customers within the PRC, no geographical segments are presented.
For the purpose of preparing segment information, all the intersegment transactions have been eliminated and only revenue from external customers are presented as segment revenue. The Group does not allocate non-operating income and expenses to each reportable segment. Accordingly, the measure of profit and loss for each reportable segment as reported to the chief operating decision maker is operating profit. A reconciliation of operating profit to profit before tax is presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income/(loss).

31. Restricted net assets
The Companys ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiaries. Relevant PRC laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Companys subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs registered in the PRC only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations.
In accordance with the laws applicable to the Foreign Investment Enterprises established in the PRC, the Companys subsidiaries registered as wholly-owned foreign enterprise have to make appropriations from their net income based on PRC accounting standards to reserve funds including general reserve fund, enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund. The appropriation to the general reserve fund must be at least 10% of the net income based on PRC accounting standards until such appropriations for the fund reach 50% of the registered capital of the entity. Appropriations to the enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund are made at the discretion of the respective entity.
In addition, in accordance with the PRC Company Laws, the Companys VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs, registered as Chinese domestic companies, must make appropriations from their net income based on PRC accounting standards to non-distributable reserve funds including statutory surplus fund and discretionary surplus fund. The appropriation to the statutory surplus fund must be at least 10% of the net income based on PRC accounting standards until such appropriations for the fund reached 50% of the registered capital of the entity. Appropriation to the discretionary surplus fund is made at the discretion of the respective entity. In addition, registered capital is also restricted from withdrawal in the PRC.
As of December 31, 2018, the Companys subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs registered in the PRC had registered capital and reserve funds appropriated of RMB24.12 billion.
As a result of these PRC laws and regulations that require annual appropriations of 10% of net income to be set aside, prior to payments of dividends as general reserve fund or statutory reserve fund, the Companys subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs registered in the PRC are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances. Even though the Company currently does not require any such dividends, loans or advances from the PRC entities for working capital and other funding purposes, the Company may in the future require additional cash resources from them due to changes in business conditions, funding of future acquisitions and development, or merely to declare and pay dividends or distributions to its shareholders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Tuniu Corporation
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tuniu Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, of changes in shareholders equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Companys management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Companys consolidated financial statements and on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As described in Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15, management has excluded an online travel agency acquired in 2018 from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2018. We have also excluded this online travel agency from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. This online travel agency is a subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues excluded from managements assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting represent 0.5% and 0.2%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

2. Principal Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Financial statements of 2016 have been adjusted to conform to the current year presentation. Such adjustments relate to the adoptions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09 as further described in Note 2(s) Revenue Recognition and Note 2(af) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.
Liquidity
The Groups consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities during the normal course of operations. The Group incurred net losses of approximately RMB2,407,194, RMB767,304 and RMB185,512 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately RMB2,239,444 and RMB418,649 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 respectively, and net cash provided by operating activities was RMB268,089 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Accumulated deficit was RMB4,738,593, RMB5,505,897 and RMB5,691,409 as of December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

(b) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, the Affiliated Entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power, has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of board of directors, or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.
A VIE is an entity in which the Company, or its subsidiary, through contractual arrangements, has controlling interest and therefore the Company or its subsidiary is the primary beneficiary of the entity. In determining whether the Company or its subsidiary has controlling interests in a VIE, the Company considers whether the company or its subsidiary has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance, and the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation right to absorb losses of the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.
All significant transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries and the Affiliated Entities have been eliminated upon consolidation.
To comply with PRC laws and regulations that restrict foreign equity ownership of companies that operate internet content, travel agency and air-ticketing services, the Company operates its website and engaged in such restricted services through Nanjing Tuniu and its subsidiaries. Nanjing Tunius equity interests are held by Dunde Yu, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Haifeng Yan, the Companys director, and several other PRC citizens. On September 17, 2008, Beijing Tuniu, one of the Companys wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a series of agreements with Nanjing Tuniu and its shareholders. Pursuant to these agreements, Beijing Tuniu has the ability to direct substantially all the activities of Nanjing Tuniu, and absorb substantially all of the risks and rewards of the Affiliated Entities. As a result, Beijing Tuniu is the primary beneficiary of Nanjing Tuniu, and has consolidated the Affiliated Entities.
Contractual arrangements
On September 17, 2008, Beijing Tuniu entered into a series of contractual agreements with Nanjing Tuniu and its shareholders. The following is a summary of the agreements which allow the Company to exercise effective control over Nanjing Tuniu:
(1) Purchase Option Agreement.
Under the purchase option agreement entered between Beijing Tuniu and the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu on September 17, 2008, Beijing Tuniu has the irrevocable exclusive right to purchase, or have its designated person or persons to purchase all or part of the shareholders equity interests in Nanjing Tuniu at RMB1,800 which was increased to RMB2,430 in March 2014. The option term remains valid for a period of 10 years and can be extended indefinitely at Beijing Tunius discretion. The purchase consideration was paid by Beijing Tuniu to the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu shortly after the purchase option agreement was entered. On January 24, 2014, the Company amended and restated the purchase option agreement, and the effective term of the purchase option agreement has been changed to until all equity interests held in Nanjing Tuniu are transferred or assigned to Beijing Tuniu or its designated person or persons.
(2) Equity Interest Pledge Agreement.
Under the equity interest pledge agreement entered between Beijing Tuniu and the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu on September 17, 2008, the shareholders pledged all of their equity interests in Nanjing Tuniu to guarantee their performance of their obligations under the purchase option agreement. If the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu breach their contractual obligations under the purchase option agreement, Beijing Tuniu, as the pledgee, will have the right to either conclude an agreement with the pledgor to obtain the pledged equity or seek payments from the proceeds of the auction or sell-off of the pledged equity to any person pursuant to the PRC law. The shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu agreed that they will not dispose of the pledged equity interests or create or allow any encumbrance on the pledged equity interests. During the equity pledge period, Beijing Tuniu is entitled to all dividends and other distributions made by Nanjing Tuniu. The equity interest pledge agreement remains effective until the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu discharge all their obligations under the purchase option agreement, or Beijing Tuniu enforces the equity interest pledge, whichever is earlier.

(3) Shareholders Voting Rights Agreement.
Under the shareholders voting rights agreement entered between Beijing Tuniu and the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu on September 17, 2008, each of the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu appointed Beijing Tunius designated person as their attorney-in-fact to exercise all of their voting and related rights with respect to their equity interests in Nanjing Tuniu, including attending shareholders meetings, voting on all matters of Nanjing Tuniu, nominating and appointing directors, convene extraordinary shareholders meetings, and other voting rights pursuant to the then effective articles of association. The shareholders voting rights agreement will remain in force for an unlimited term, unless all the parties to the agreement mutually agree to terminate the agreement in writing or cease to be shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu.
(4) Irrevocable Powers of Attorney.
Under the powers of attorney issued by the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu on September 17, 2008, the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu each irrevocably appointed Mr. Tao Jiang, a person designated by Beijing Tuniu, as the attorney-in-fact to exercise all of their voting and related rights with respect to their equity interests in Nanjing Tuniu. Each power of attorney will remain in force until the shareholders voting rights agreement expires or is terminated. On January 24, 2014, the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu issued powers of attorney to irrevocably appoint Beijing Tuniu as the attorney-in-fact to exercise all of their voting and related rights with respect to their equity interests in Nanjing Tuniu. These powers of attorney replaced the powers of attorney previously granted to Mr. Tao Jiang on September 17, 2008.
(5) Cooperation Agreement.
Under the cooperation agreement entered between Beijing Tuniu and Nanjing Tuniu, Beijing Tuniu has the exclusive right to provide Nanjing Tuniu technology consulting and services related to Nanjing Tunius operations, which require certain licenses. Beijing Tuniu owns the exclusive intellectual property rights created as a result of the performance of this agreement. Nanjing Tuniu agrees to pay Beijing Tuniu a monthly service fee for services performed, and the monthly service fee shall not be lower than 100% of Nanjing Tunius profits generated from such cooperation, which equal revenues generated from such cooperation, after deducting the expenses it incurred. This agreement remains effective for an unlimited term, unless the parties mutually agree to terminate the agreement, one of the parties is declared bankrupt or Beijing Tuniu is not able to provide consulting and services as agreed for more than three consecutive years because of force majeure. On January 24, 2014, the Company amended and restated the Cooperation Agreement. In the amended and restated agreement, the service fee has been changed to a quarterly payment which equals the profits of each of Nanjing Tuniu and its subsidiaries, and that Beijing Tuniu can adjust the service fee at its own discretion. Also in the amended and restated Cooperation Agreement, Beijing Tuniu has the unilateral right to terminate the agreement.
In the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, the Company and its subsidiaries received service fees of RMB109,572, RMB138,054 and RMB197,853, respectively, from its consolidated Affiliated Entities, which were eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Risks in relation to the VIE structure
The Group believes that each of the agreements and the powers of attorney under the contractual arrangements among Beijing Tuniu, Nanjing Tuniu and its shareholders is valid, binding and enforceable, and does not and will not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect. The legal opinion of Fangda Partners, which was the Companys PRC legal counsel, also supports this conclusion. The shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu are also shareholders, nominees of shareholders, or designated representatives of shareholders of the Company and therefore have no current interest in seeking to act contrary to the contractual arrangements. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Companys ability to enforce these contractual arrangements and if the shareholders of Nanjing Tuniu were to reduce their interest in the Company, their interests may diverge from that of the Company and that may potentially increase the risk that they would seek to act contrary to the contractual terms.
The Companys ability to control Nanjing Tuniu also depends on the power of attorney Beijing Tuniu has to vote on all matters requiring shareholder approval in Nanjing Tuniu. As noted above, the Company believes this power of attorney is legally enforceable but it may not be as effective as direct equity ownership.
In addition, if the legal structure and contractual arrangements were found to be in violation of any existing PRC laws and regulations, the PRC government could:
· levying fines or confiscate the Groups income;
· revoke the Groups business or operating licenses;
· require the Group to discontinue, restrict or restructure its operations;
· shut down the Groups servers or block the Groups websites and mobile platform;
· restrict or prohibit the use of the Groups financing proceeds to finance its business and operations in China; or
· take other regulatory or enforcement actions against the Group that could be harmful to the Groups business
The imposition of any of these penalties may result in a material and adverse effect on the Groups ability to conduct the Groups business. In addition, the imposition of any of these penalties may cause the Group to lose the right to direct the activities of Nanjing Tuniu (through its equity interest in its subsidiaries) or the right to receive economic benefits from the Affiliated Entities. Therefore, a risk exists in that the Group would no longer be able to consolidate Nanjing Tuniu and its subsidiaries. In March 2019, the PRC National Peoples Congress promulgated the Foreign Investment Law, or the 2019 PRC Foreign Investment Law, which will become effective on January 1, 2020 and will replace the major existing laws and regulations governing foreign investment in the PRC. The approved Foreign Investment Law does not touch upon the relevant concepts and regulatory regimes that were historically suggested for the regulation of VIE structures, and thus this regulatory topic remains unclear under the Foreign Investment Law. As the 2019 PRC Foreign Investment Law is newly adopted and relevant government authorities may promulgate more laws, regulations or rules on the interpretation and implementation of the 2019 PRC Foreign Investment Law, the possibility cant be ruled out that the VIE structure adopted by the Group may be deemed as a method of foreign investment by, any of such future laws, regulations and rules, which cause significant uncertainties as to whether the Groups VIE structures would be treated as a method of foreign investment. If the Groups VIE structure would be deemed as a method of foreign investment under any of such future laws, regulations and rules, and any of the Groups businesses operation would fall in the negative list for foreign investment that is subject to any foreign investment restrictions or prohibitions, the Group would be required to take further actions to comply with such laws, regulations and rules, which may materially and adversely affect the Groups current corporate structure, corporate governance, business, financial conditions and results of operations.
Summary financial information of the Affiliated Entities in the consolidated financial statements
As of December 31, 2018, the aggregate accumulated deficit of the Affiliated Entities was RMB3,764 million prior to the elimination of transactions between the Affiliated Entities and the Company or the Companys subsidiaries.

Certain financial data of 2016 listed in the tables above have been recast as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09 as further described in Note 2(s) Revenue Recognition and Note 2(af) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.
Currently there is no contractual arrangement that could require the Company to provide additional financial support to the Affiliated Entities. As the Company is conducting its business mainly through the Affiliated Entities, the Company may provide such support on a discretionary basis in the future, which could expose the Company to a loss.
Under the contractual arrangements with Nanjing Tuniu and through its equity interest in its subsidiaries, the Group has the power to direct the activities of the Affiliated Entities and direct the transfer of assets out of the Affiliated Entities. As the consolidated Affiliated Entities are each incorporated as a limited liability company under the PRC Company Law, the creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for all of the liabilities of the consolidated Affiliated Entities.
(c) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Groups consolidated financial statements in conformity with the U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Groups consolidated financial statements mainly include fair value of short-term and long-term investments, recoverability of receivables, estimating useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, impairment for goodwill and long-lived assets, the purchase price allocation in relation to business combination, fair value of contingent considerations with respect to business combinations, losses due to committed tour reservations, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and the determination of uncertain tax positions.

(d) Functional Currency and Foreign Currency Translation
The Group uses Renminbi (RMB) as its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries incorporated outside of PRC is the United States dollar (US$), while the functional currency of the PRC entities in the Group is RMB as determined based on ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters .
Transactions denominated in other than the functional currencies are re-measured into the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities are re-measured at the balance sheet date exchange rate. The resulting exchange differences are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as foreign exchange gains / losses.
When preparing the consolidated financial statements presented in RMB, assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries incorporated outside of PRC are translated into RMB at fiscal year-end exchange rates, and equity accounts are translated into RMB at historical exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the respective fiscal years. Translation adjustments arising from these are reported as foreign currency translation adjustments and are shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders equity.
The unaudited United States dollar amounts disclosed in the accompanying financial statements are presented solely for the convenience of the readers. Translations of amounts from RMB into US$ for the convenience of the reader were calculated at the rate of US$1.00 = RMB6.8755 on December 31, 2018, as set forth in H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at that rate on December 31, 2018, or at any other rate.
(e) Fair Value Measurement
The Group defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
The established fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value include:
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Groups financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, amounts due from and due to related parties, balance in relation to yield enhancement products, long-term investments in financial products, contingent consideration for acquisitions and certain accrued liabilities and other current liabilities. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments except for certain investments which are carried at fair value at each balance sheet date. Certain short-term and long-term investments in financial products and securities classified within Level 2 are valued using directly or indirectly observable inputs in the market place. Certain long-term investments in financial products classified within Level 3 are valued based on a model utilizing unobservable inputs which require significant management judgment and estimation.
The Groups assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Contingent consideration is valued using an expected cash flow method with unobservable inputs including the probability to achieve the operating and financial targets, which is assessed by the Group, in connection with the contingent consideration arrangements.
(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks, other financial institutions and Alipay, a third party payment processor, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use.
(g) Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents cash that cannot be withdrawn without the permission of third parties. The Groups restricted cash mainly represents (i) cash deposits required by tourism administration departments as a pledge to secure travellers rights and interests, (ii) cash deposits required by China Insurance Regulatory Commission for engaging in insurance agency or brokering activities. (iii) the deposits held in designated bank accounts for issuance of bank acceptance notes and letter of guarantee, and required by the Groups business partners.
(h) Short-term Investments
Short-term investments are comprised of (i) held-to-maturity investments such as time deposits, which are due between three months and one year and stated at amortized cost; and (ii) equity securities and investments in financial products issued by banks or other financial institutions, which contain a fixed or variable interest rate and with original maturities between three months and one year. Such investments are generally not permitted to be redeemed early or are subject to penalties for redemption prior to maturity. These investments are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value are reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. There was no other-than-temporary impairment of short-term investments for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018.
(i) Accounts Receivable, net
The Groups accounts receivable mainly consist of amounts due from the corporate customers, travel agents, insurance companies and travel boards or bureaus, which are carried at the original invoice amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Group reviews accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. The Group evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable considering many factors including reviewing accounts receivable balances, historical bad debt rates, payment patterns, counterparties credit worthiness and financial conditions, and industry trend analysis. The Group recognized allowance for doubtful accounts of RMB5,297, RMB13,332 and RMB3,299 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
The following table summarized the details of the Groups allowance for doubtful accounts:

(j) Long-term investments
Long-term investments include equity investments, held-to-maturity investments and other long-term investments.
Equity investments
The Group accounts for the investments in entities with significant influence under equity-method accounting. Under this method, the Groups pro rata share of income (loss) from an investment is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Dividends received reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Equity-method investment is reviewed for impairment by assessing if the decline in fair value of the investment below the carrying value is other-than-temporary. In making this determination, factors are evaluated in determining whether a loss in value should be recognized. These include consideration of the intent and ability of the Group to hold investment and the ability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity, justifying the carrying amount of the investment. Impairment losses are recognized when a decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary.
The Group adopted the ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, effective from January 1, 2018. The Group elects a measurement alternative for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and where the Group does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entity. Under the measurement alternative, the Group measures these investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. An impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss equal to the excess of the investments cost over its fair value when the impairment is deemed other-than-temporary.
Held-to-maturity investments
The investments that the Group intends and is able to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity investments and are stated at amortized cost, and interest income is recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Group monitors these investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors including, but not limited to, current economic and market conditions, the operating performance of the companies including current earnings trends and other company-specific information.
Other long-term investments
Other long-term investments include financial products with maturities over one year and securities including perpetual bonds and preferred shares issued by companies, which are carried at their fair value at each balance sheet date and changes in fair value are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
No event had occurred and indicated that other-than-temporary impairment existed and therefore the Group did not record any impairment charges for its investments for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018.
(k) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment if applicable. Property and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Category |
|
Estimated useful life |
Computers and equipment |
|
3 - 5 years |
Buildings |
|
16 - 20 years |
Furniture and fixtures |

2. Principal Accounting Policies - continued
(k) Property and Equipment - continued
Construction in progress represents leasehold improvements under construction or being installed and is stated at cost. Cost comprises original cost of property and equipment, installation, construction and other direct costs. Construction in progress is transferred to leasehold improvements and depreciation commences when the asset is ready for its intended use.
Gain or loss on the disposal of property and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
(l) Land use right, net
Land use right represents the payments for usage of land for office buildings, which is recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over their respective lease period which is 49.
(m) Capitalized Software Development Cost
The Group has capitalized certain direct development costs associated with internal-used software in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-use software , which requires the capitalization of costs relating to certain activities of developing internal-use software that occur during the application development stage. Costs capitalized mainly include payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who devoted time to the internal-use software projects during the application development stage. Capitalized internal-use software costs are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and the amount is included in property and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets, with an estimated useful life of five years. Software development cost capitalized amounted to RMB8,516, RMB19,545 and RMB75,443 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. The amortization expense for capitalized software costs amounted to RMB3,768, RMB5,729 and RMB14,699 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. The unamortized amount of capitalized internal use software development costs was RMB91,684 as of December 31, 2018.
(n) Business combination
U.S. GAAP requires that all business combinations not involving entities or businesses under common control be accounted for under the purchase method. The Group has adopted ASC 805 Business Combinations , and the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred and equity instruments issued. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of the (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to forecast the future cash inflows and outflows. Management determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activitys current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of products and forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period. Although management believes that the assumptions applied in the determination are reasonable based on information available at the date of acquisition, actual results may differ from the forecasted amounts and the difference could be material. The Group recognized adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.
A noncontrolling interest is recognized to reflect the portion of a subsidiarys equity which is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Group. Consolidated net loss on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss includes the net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests when applicable. The cumulative results of operations attributable to noncontrolling interests are also recorded as noncontrolling interests in the Groups consolidated balance sheets. Cash flows related to transactions with noncontrolling interests are presented under financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows when applicable.
Subsequent to the initial measurement of acquisition, adjustments to the amount of contingent consideration are recognized as a gain or loss during the period of adjustments, and are reflected in other operating income.

2. Principal Accounting Policies - continued
(o) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets purchased are recognized and measured at cost upon acquisition and intangible assets arising from acquisitions of subsidiaries are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition. The Companys purchased intangible assets include computer software, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives 3 years. Separable intangible assets arising from acquisitions consist of trade names, customer relationship, software, technology, non-compete agreements, travel licenses, insurance agency license and business cooperation agreement with JD.com Inc., which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 3.5 to 20 years. The estimated life of intangible assets subject to amortization is reassessed if circumstances occur that indicate the life has changed. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. No impairment of intangible assets was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018.
(p) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired.
The Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-08, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350) . This accounting standard gives the Group an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, goodwill is then tested following a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying amount of a reporting units goodwill. The fair value of each reporting unit is determined by the Group using the expected present value of future cash flows. The key assumptions used in the calculation include the long-term growth rates of revenue and gross margin, working-capital requirements and discount rates. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business combination, with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. This allocation process is only performed for purposes of evaluating goodwill impairment and does not result in an entry to adjust the value of any assets or liabilities. An impairment loss is recognized for any excess in the carrying value of goodwill over the implied fair value of goodwill.
Management performed goodwill impairment test and no impairment loss was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

(q) Impairment of long-lived assets
The Group evaluates its long-lived assets and finite lived intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Group measures impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of these assets. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018.
(r) Advances from Customers
Advances from customers represent the amounts travellers pay in advance to purchase packaged tours or other travelling products. Among the cash proceeds from travellers, the amounts payable to tour operators are recorded as accounts payable and the remaining are recognized as revenues when revenue recognition criteria are met.
(s) Revenue Recognition
The Groups revenue is primarily derived from sales of packaged tours and other service fees.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. Subsequently, the FASB issued several amendments which amends certain aspects of the guidance in ASC 2014-09 (ASU No. 2014-09 and the related amendments are collectively referred to as ASC 606). According to ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The Group adopted this new revenue standard effective from January 1, 2017 by applying the full retrospective method. Refer to note 2(af) for the effects of the adoption of ASC 606 on the Groups consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2016. There are no significant estimates in the Groups revenue arrangements.
Packaged tours: Packaged tours include organized tours which offer pre-arranged itineraries, transportations, accommodations, entertainments, meals and tour guide services; and self-guided tours which consist of combinations of air tickets and hotel bookings and other optional add-ons, such as airport pick-ups that the travellers choose at their discretion.
Prior to January 2017, substantially all of the Groups revenues from organized tours were recognized on a gross basis, which represented amounts charged to and received from travellers (who were the Groups customers). The Group was the primary obligor in the organised tour arrangements and bore the risks and rewards, including the travellers acceptance of products and services delivered. Even though the Group did not generally assume the substantive inventory risk before travellers placed an order, the Group was the party retained by and paid by the travellers, and the Group was responsible to (and solely authorized to) refund travellers their payments in situations of customer disputes. Further, the Group independently selected travel service suppliers, and determined the prices charged to customers and paid to its travel suppliers.
Since the beginning of 2017, the Group has implemented certain changes in its arrangements with the tour operators. The Groups role in the organized tour arrangements has changed from being a principal into an agent that provides tour booking services to the tour operators and travellers. Under the current organized tour arrangements, the tour operators are primarily responsible for all aspects of providing services relating to the tour and responsible for the resolution of customer disputes and any associated costs. As a result of the change of the Groups role, starting from January 1, 2017, revenues from organized tours (except for those that the Group takes substantive inventory risks and the self-operated local tour operators in which the Group acts as a principal, as discussed below) are generally reported on net basis, representing the difference between what the Group receives from the travellers and the amounts due to the tour operators.
Revenues from self-guided tours are recognized on a net basis, as the Group has no involvement in determining the service, and provides no additional services to travellers other than the booking services. Suppliers are responsible for all aspects of providing the air transportation and hotel accommodation, and other travel-related services. As such, the Group is an agent for the travel service providers in these transactions and revenues are reported on a net basis.

Under certain circumstances, the Group may enter into contractual commitments with suppliers to reserve tours, and is required to pay a deposit to ensure tour availabilities. Some of these contractual commitments are non-cancellable, and to the extent the reserved tours are not sold to customers, the Group would be liable to pay suppliers a pre-defined or negotiated penalty, thereby assuming inventory risks. For packaged tour arrangements that the Group undertakes inventory risk which is considered to be substantive, revenues are recognized on gross basis. Revenues for such arrangements that the Group undertakes substantive inventory risk were RMB497, 918 and RMB241,181 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, which were recorded in revenues for packaged tours.
In 2018, the Group expanded self-operated local tour operators in various destinations by directly providing destination-based services to the organized tour customers, starting from their arrival at the destination and all the way until they depart from the destination. As a self-operated local tour operator, the Group integrates the underlying resources such as transportations, accommodations, entertainments, meals and tour guide services from selected suppliers, directs the selected vendors to provide services on the Groups behalf, and hence sets up the price for the tour. Besides, the Group is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise of the whole packaged tours service, which is a single performance obligation. Accordingly, the Group is a principal for the self-operated local tour operator business and recognizes revenue on a gross basis in accordance with ASC 606. Revenues from the self-operated tour operator business are recognized over time during the period of the tours when control over the tour services is transferred to the customers. Revenues for the self-operated local tour operator business were RMB509,737 for the year ended December 31, 2018, which were recorded in revenues for packaged tours.
Under ASC 606, revenues from organized tours for which the Group was a principal for year 2016 were recognized over the period of the tours when control over the tour services was transferred to the customers over such period. Starting from January 1, 2017, under the current arrangements for the organized tours (except for the self-operated local tour operators in which the Group acts as a principal, as discussed above), for which the Groups role was changed into an agent, revenues are recognized when the tours depart, as control over the tour booking services is transferred to the customers when the tour booking is completed and successful.
Under ASC 606, revenues from self-guided tours are recognized when the tours depart.
Other revenues : Other revenues primarily comprise revenues generated from (i) service fees received from insurance companies, (ii) commission fees from other travel-related products and services, such as tourist attraction tickets, visa application services, accommodation reservation and transportation ticketing, (iii) fees for advertising services that we provide primarily to domestic and foreign tourism boards and bureaus, and (iv) service fees for financial services and interest income for yield enhancement products. Revenue is recognized when the services are rendered or when the tickets are issued.
The Group commenced the financial business in 2015. Certain domestic financial assets exchanges (the Exchange) and trust companies offered the yield enhancement products through the Groups online platform and the Group charged these companies for the service fees which were recorded as other revenue upon the delivery of service. The service revenues were insignificant for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018.
Further, from 2016 in certain cases, the Group purchased yield enhancement products with maturities ranged from three months to two years from the Exchanges and trust companies and split these products into smaller amount yield enhancement products with lower yield rate and shorter maturities within one year, which were offered to individual investors through the Groups online platform. The split of the products were arranged by Exchanges. As of December 31, 2017, yield enhancement products purchased from the Exchanges and trust companies with maturities within one year and accrued interest with the balances of RMB31,337 were recorded in current assets, and balances with the maturities over one year of RMB170,505 were recorded in non-current assets. Interest revenues of RMB50,867 were recorded as other revenues for the year ended December 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, yield enhancement products held by the individual investors with maturities within one year of RMB177,971 were recorded in current liabilities. Interest costs of RMB34,499 were recorded as cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017. In 2018, the Group terminated this financial service thus there were no related balances as of December 31, 2018. The interest revenues and costs were insignificant for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The Group also provided account receivables factoring service and cash lending service to customers and fees charged in connection with these financial services were recorded as other revenue over the period of the service rendered. The amount of such service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 was RMB117,537.
The Group provided online lending service in 2017 and fees charged in connection with this service was RMB220,701 for the year ended December 31, 2017. This service was terminated in late 2017.

Customer incentives
From time to time, travelers are offered coupons, travel vouchers, membership points, or cash rewards as customer incentives. For customer incentives offered where prior purchase is not required, the Group accounts for them as a reduction of revenue when the coupons and vouchers are utilized to purchase travelling products or as selling and marketing expenses when membership points are redeemed for merchandises. For customer incentives offered from prior purchase, the Group estimates the amount associated with the future obligation to customers, and records as a reduction of revenue when the prior purchase revenue is initially recognized. Unredeemed incentives are recorded in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Group estimates liabilities under the customer loyalty program based on accumulated customer incentives, and the estimate of probability of redemption in accordance with the historical redemption pattern. The actual expenditure may differ from the estimated liability recorded. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, liabilities recorded related to membership points and cash rewards were RMB2,142 and RMB1,395, respectively.
Business and related taxes, and value-added tax
The Group was mainly subject to business and related taxes on services provided in the PRC at applicable rates before May 1, 2016, which were deducted from revenues to arrive at net revenue. On May 1, 2016, the transition from the imposition of PRC business tax to the imposition of value-added tax (VAT) was expanded to all industries in China. The Groups business has been subject to VAT since that date, and the Group is permitted to offset input VAT (VAT that is paid in the acquisition of goods or services, and which is supported by valid VAT invoices received from vendors) against their VAT liability. VAT on the invoiced amount collected by the Group on behalf of tax authorities in respect of services provided, net of VAT paid for purchases, is recorded as a liability until it is paid to the tax authorities. The Group is also subject to certain government surcharges on VAT payable in the PRC and these surcharges are recorded in cost of revenues.

(t) Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues mainly consists of salaries and other compensation-related expenses related to the Groups tour advisors, customer services representatives, and other personnel related to tour transactions, and other expenses directly attributable to the Groups principal operations, primarily including payment processing fees, telecommunication expenses, rental expenses, depreciation expenses, interest expenses for yield enhancement products, and other service fee for financial service. For the arrangements where the Group secures availabilities of tours and bears substantive inventory risks, and for the self-operated local tour operators since 2018 and the organized tours prior to the beginning of 2017 in which the Group act as a principal, from which revenues are recognized on a gross basis, cost of revenues also includes the amount paid to tour operators or suppliers.
Losses arising from the committed tour reservations in above mentioned arrangements where the Group secures availabilities of tours were recorded in cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, which were RMB45,494 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Commencing in 2017, since the Group changed its role from principal to agent in the organized tour arrangements and revenues were recognized on a net basis, losses arising from the committed tour reservations were recorded as deductions to revenues, which were RMB11,009 for the year ended December 31, 2017 and were insignificant for the year ended December 31, 2018.
(u) Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses, which primarily consist of online marketing expense and brand marketing expenses through various forms of media, are recorded in sales and marketing expenses as incurred. Advertising expenses were RMB1,270,598, RMB302,987 and RMB222,073 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
(v) Research and Product Development Expenses
Research and product development expenses include salaries and other compensation-related expenses to the Groups research and product development personnel, as well as office rental, depreciation and related expenses and travel-related expenses for the Groups research and product development team. The Group recognizes software development costs in accordance with ASC 350-40 Softwareinternal use software . The Group expenses all costs that are incurred in connection with the planning and implementation phases of development, and costs that are associated with maintenance of the existing websites or software for internal use. Certain costs associated with developing internal-use software are capitalized when such costs are incurred within the application development stage of software development (see Note 2(m)).

(w) Leases
A lease for which substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to ownership remain with the lessor is classified as an operating lease. All leases of the Group are currently classified as operating leases. When a lease contains rent holidays or requires fixed escalations of the minimum lease payments, the Group records the total rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and the difference between the straight-line rental expense and cash payment under the lease is recorded as deferred rent liabilities. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, deferred rent of RMB10,332 and RMB5,412 was recorded as current liabilities and RMB9,548 and RMB5,304 was recorded as non-current liabilities, respectively.
(x) Share-based Compensation
The Company applies ASC 718, Compensation Stock Compensation to account for its share-based compensation program including share options and restricted shares. In accordance with the guidance, the Company determines whether a share-based award should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or equity award. All grants of share-based awards to employees classified as equity awards are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. For options, the fair values are calculated using the binominal option pricing model. Share-based compensation expenses are recorded net of an estimated forfeiture rate over the service period using the straight-line method. The modifications of the terms or conditions of the shared-based award are treated as an exchange of the original award for a new award. The incremental compensation expense is equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award immediately after the modification over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. For options already vested as of the modification date, the Company immediately recognized the incremental value as compensation expenses. For options still unvested as of the modification date, the incremental compensation expenses are recognized over the remaining service period of these options.
The Companys 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan allows the plan administrator to grant options and restricted shares to the Companys employees, directors, and consultants. The plan administrator is the Companys board of directors or a committee appointed and determined by the board. The board may also authorize one or more officers of the Company to grant awards under the plan. Under the 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan, options granted to employees vest upon satisfaction of a service condition, which is generally satisfied over four years. Additionally, the incentive plan provides an exercisability clause where employees can only exercise vested options upon the occurrence of the following events: (i) after the Companys ordinary shares has become a listed security, (ii) in connection with or after a triggering event (defined as a sale, transfer, or disposition of all or substantially all of the Companys assets, or a merger, consolidation, or other business combination transaction), or (iii) if the employee obtains all necessary governmental approvals and consents required. Options for which the service condition has been satisfied are forfeited should employment terminate three months prior to the occurrence of an exercisable event, which substantially creates a performance condition. This performance condition was met upon completion of the Companys initial public offering, and the associated share-based compensation expense for awards vested as of that date were recognized on May 9, 2014.

(y) Income Taxes
Current income taxes are provided on the basis of net income for financial reporting purposes, adjusted for income and expense items which are not assessable or deductible for income tax purposes, in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax base of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in the period of change. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Uncertain tax positions
U.S. GAAP prescribes a more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance also provides for the derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Groups uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the Group did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions or any interest or penalties associated with tax positions.
In order to assess uncertain tax positions, the Group applies a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. Under the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement.

(z) Employee Benefits
Full-time employees of the Group in the PRC are entitled to welfare benefits including pension, work-related injury benefits, maternity insurance, medical insurance, unemployment benefit and housing fund plans through a PRC government-mandated defined contribution plan. Chinese labor regulations require that the Group makes contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of employees salaries, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government. The Group has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions. The Group recorded employee benefit expenses of RMB256,801, RMB263,618 and RMB222,304 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
(aa) Government Subsidies
Government subsidies are cash subsidies received by the Groups entities in the PRC from provincial and local government authorities. The government subsidies are granted from time to time at the discretion of the relevant government authorities. These subsidies are granted for general corporate purposes and to support the Groups ongoing operations in the region. Cash subsidies are recorded in other operating income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss when received and when all conditions for their receipt have been satisfied. The Group recognized government subsidies of RMB21,098, RMB27,322 and RMB51,357 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
(ab) Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Accretion of the redeemable noncontrolling interests is deducted from the net income (loss) to arrive at net income (loss) attributable to the Companys ordinary shareholders. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of unvested restricted shares and shares issuable upon the exercise of share options using the treasury stock method. Ordinary equivalent shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted loss per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive. Except for voting rights, Class A and Class B shares have all the same rights and therefore the Group has elected not to use the two-class method.
(ac) Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of the Group during a period arising from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. Comprehensive income or loss is reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), as presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, consists of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments.

(ad) Treasury stock
On August 23, 2016, the Companys board of directors authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$150 million worth of its ADS over the next 12 months. On January 12, 2018, the Companys board of directors authorized an additional share repurchase program under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to US$100 million worth of the Companys ordinary shares or American depositary shares representing ordinary shares over the next 12 months. The share repurchase programs permitted the Company to purchase shares from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The repurchased shares were accounted for under the cost method and presented as treasury stock in equity on the Groups consolidated balance sheets. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Group reissued 564,663 shares to employees upon their exercise of share options or vesting of restricted share units under the Groups share compensation plans. The Company recognizes the difference in additional paid-in capital on the reissuance of the shares when reissuing treasury stock at an amount different from the average cost the Company paid to repurchase the treasury stock.
(ae) Segment Reporting
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Groups chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews the consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group as a whole and hence, the Group has only one reportable segment.
The Group does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting. The Groups long-lived assets are substantially all located in the PRC and substantially all the Groups revenues are derived from within the PRC, therefore, no geographical segments are presented.
(af) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. Subsequently, the FASB issued several amendments which amends certain aspects of the guidance in ASC 2014-09 (ASU No. 2014-09 and the related amendments are collectively referred to as ASC 606). The Group adopted this new revenue standard effective from January 1, 2017 by applying the full retrospective method. The new revenue standard has mainly changed the timing of revenue recognition. Under ASC 606, for 2016, instead of recognizing revenue at the end of the organized tours and self-guided tours in accordance with ASC 605, revenues from organized tours are now recognized over the period of the tours and revenues from self-guided tours are recognized on the departure day. In addition, the new revenue standard also changes the presentation of customer incentives. Under ASC 606, the estimated amount associated with the future obligation to customers is now recorded as a reduction of revenue instead of within sales and marketing expenses under incremental cost model in accordance ASC 605. Following the adoption of ASC 606, the revenue recognition for others services remained materially consistent with the historical practice. See Note 2(s) for details.

2. Principal Accounting Policies - continued
(af) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements continued
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 changes how entities measure certain equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities measured under the fair value option that are attributable to their own credit. The guidance also changes certain disclosure requirements and other aspects of previous U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. Effective from January 1, 2018, the Group adopted the new guidance related to accounting for equity investments and financial liabilities under the fair value option. Upon adoption of the ASU 2016-01, the Group elected a measurement alternative for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and where the Group does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entity. Under the measurement alternative, the Group measured these investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Before 2018, such investments were classified as cost method investments and were measured at cost, subject to impairment assessment. See Note 7 for details.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)(ASU 2016-02), which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months on the balance sheet. Under the new guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The ASU initially required a modified retrospective transition approach for existing leases, whereby the new leases standard will be applied to the earliest year presented. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which provides another transition method, the additional transition method, in addition to the existing transition method by allowing entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Group will adopt this new guidance by using the additional transition method for the year ended December 31, 2019 and interim periods in the year ended December 31, 2019. The Group has inventoried its leases and continues to review its other contractual arrangements to identify any implied leases. The Group currently believes that there will be no material impact on operating results or cash flows, and that the most significant effects of adoption will be the recognition of new right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Groups balance sheet for its various office facility operating leases. A cumulative-effect adjustment (the amount of which has not yet been determined) will be recognized to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption with prior period financial information not been adjusted.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13), Financial Instruments Credit Losses , which introduces new guidance for credit losses on instruments within its scope. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including, but not limited to, trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and net investments in leases. The new guidance also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and requires the entities to determine whether all or a portion of the unrealized loss on an available-for-sale debt security is a credit loss. The standard also indicates that entities may not use the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position as a factor in concluding whether a credit loss exists. The ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2016-15) , which amends the guidance in ASC 230 on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for 2018.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2016-18) , which amends ASC 230 to add or clarify guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and effective from January 1, 2018, the Group adopted the new guidance and retrospectively adjusted the prior periods presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The changes in restricted cash in the consolidated cash flows were RMB214,436 and RMB32,752 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively, which were no longer presented within investing activities and were retrospectively included in the changes of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as required. As of December 31, 2018, total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows include cash and cash equivalents of RMB560,356 and restricted cash of RMB270,670 within the consolidated balance sheets.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 (ASU 2017-01), Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The standard introduces a screen for determining when assets acquired are not a business and clarifies that a business must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that contribute to an output to be considered a business. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. As of January 1, 2018, the Group prospectively adopted the ASU. Upon adoption, the standard impacts how the Group assess future acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for 2018.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04 ), which removes the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, under the ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) that provides additional guidance around which changes to a share-based payment award requires an entity to apply modification accounting. Specifically, an entity is to account for the effects of a modification, unless all of the following are satisfied: (1) the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; and (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or as a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. For public entities, the update is effective beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Effective from January 1, 2018, the Group adopted the new guidance, which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for 2018.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure FrameworkChanges to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13) which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Under the guidance, public companies will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, but entities are permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the requirements. The Company does not expect a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
3. Risks and Concentration
(a) Credit and Concentration Risks
The Groups credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, prepayments and other current assets, accounts receivables, yield enhancement products and other long-term investments. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates.
The Group expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with the cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and other long-term investments which are held by reputable financial institutions in the jurisdictions where the Company, its subsidiaries and the Affiliated Entities are located. The Group believes that it is not exposed to unusual risks as these financial institutions have high credit quality.
The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk with respect to its customers, as customers usually prepay for travel services. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are primarily derived from revenue earned from corporate customers, travel agents, insurance companies and travel boards or bureaus. The risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated by credit evaluations performed on the corporate customers, travel agents and insurance companies and ongoing monitoring processes on outstanding balances. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

3. Risks and Concentration - continued
(a) Credit and Concentration Risks - continued
The Group has purchased securities and financial products issued by banks, Alipay, companies and other financial institutions. The Group has set up a risk evaluation system on the issuers of credit quality, ultimate borrowers of asset management schemes, and conducts collectability assessment of the financial assets on timely basis. As of December 31, 2018, the Group believes the securities and financial assets are financially sound based on publicly available information and managements assessment does not foresee substantial credit risk with respect to these securities and financial products.
(b) Foreign Currency Risk
The Groups operating transactions and its assets and liabilities are mainly denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. The value of RMB is subject to changes influenced by central government policies, and international economic and political developments. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the Peoples Bank of China (the PBOC). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Group in China must be processed through the PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

4. Business acquisition
Travel agencies
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Group acquired 80% of equity interests of an online travel agency to expand Tunius overseas business network and further enhance the Companys competitive position. The total purchase price of RMB20,234 including cash consideration of RMB9,852 and an accrual in the amount of RMB10,382 representing the fair value of contingent consideration to be made based on the achievement of profit target over the next four years. The fair value of the contingent cash consideration was estimated using a probability-weighted scenario analysis method. Key assumption included probabilities assigned to each scenario and a discount rate. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Group paid RMB9,852 cash consideration. The contingent consideration is due in increments annually over the next four years.
The business acquisition was accounted for using purchase accounting. The following is the summary of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

The Group measured the fair value of the trade names and travel licenses under the relief-from-royalty method. Under the methodology, fair value is calculated as the discounted cash flow savings accruing to the owner for not having to pay the royalty. Key assumptions included expected revenue attributable to the assets, royalty rates, discount rate and estimated asset lives. Customer relationships and technology were valued using the excess-earnings method, which measures the present value of the projected cash flows that are expected to be generated by the existing intangible asset after deduction of cash flows attributable to other contributory assets to realize the projected earnings attributable to the intangible asset. Key assumptions included discounted cash flow analyses, for other contributory assets, discount rate, remaining useful life, income tax amortization benefit and customer attrition rates. The Group measured the fair value of non-compete agreements based on incremental discounted cash flow analyses computed with and without the non-compete terms as described in share purchase agreement and the probability that such competition exists. The Group measured the fair value of the software under the replacement cost method.
Pro forma results of operations for all of the acquisitions described above have not been presented because they are not material to the consolidated income statements, either individually or in aggregate.

On March 16, 2007, the National Peoples Congress of the PRC enacted an Enterprise Income Tax Law (EIT Law), under which Foreign Investment Enterprises (FIEs) and domestic companies are subject to EIT at a uniform rate of 25%. The EIT law became effective on January 1, 2008.

14. Income Taxes continued
The EIT Law also provides that an enterprise established under the laws of a foreign country or region but whose de facto management body is located in the PRC be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes and consequently be subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% for its global income. The implementing Rules of the EIT Law merely define the location of the de facto management body as the place where the exercising, in substance, of the overall management and control of the production and business operation, personnel, accounting, properties, etc., of a non-PRC company is located.
The EIT Law also imposes a withholding income tax of 10% on dividends distributed by a FIE to its immediate holding company outside of China, if such immediate holding company is considered as a non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the received dividends have no connection with the establishment or place of such immediate holding company within China, unless such immediate holding companys jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. The Cayman Islands, where the Company incorporated, does not have such tax treaty with China. According to the arrangement between Mainland China and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion in August 2006, dividends paid by a FIE in China to its immediate holding company in Hong Kong will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of no more than 5% if the immediate holding company in Hong Kong owns directly at least 25% of the shares of the FIE and could be recognized as a Beneficial Owner of the dividend from PRC tax perspective.
Nanjing Tuniu obtained in 2010 its HNTE certificate with a valid period of three years and successfully renewed such certificate in December 2013 and December 2016 for additional three years, respectively. Therefore, Nanjing Tuniu was eligible to enjoy a preferential tax rate of 15% from 2016 to 2018 to the extent it has taxable income under the EIT Law, as long as it maintains the HNTE qualification and duly conducts relevant EIT filing procedures with the relevant tax authority. Nanjing Tuniu expects to obtain an updated HNTE in December 2019 certificate under which it will be eligible to enjoy a preferential tax rate of 15% from 2019 to 2021 to the extent it has taxable income under the EIT Law, as long as it maintains the HNTE qualification and duly conducts relevant EIT filing procedures with the relevant tax authority. Tuniu (Nanjing) Information Technology Co., Ltd also obtained HNTE certificate in 2017 and is eligible to enjoy a preferential tax rate of 15% from 2017 to 2019 to the extent it has taxable income under the EIT Law, as long as it maintains the HNTE qualification and duly conducts relevant EIT filing procedures with the relevant tax authority. Besides, Beijing Tuniu expects to obtain the HNTE certificate in 2019 under which it will be eligible to enjoy a preferential tax rate of 15% from 2019 to 2021 to the extent it has taxable income under the EIT Law, as long as it maintains the HNTE qualification and duly conducts relevant EIT filing procedures with the relevant tax authority. Nanjing Tuniu also obtained a software company certificate in 2012. Pursuant to such certificate, Nanjing Tuniu qualifies for a tax holiday during which it is entitled to an exemption from enterprise income tax for two years commencing from its first profit-making year of operation and a 50% reduction of enterprise income tax for the following three years. Nanjing Tuniu entered into the first tax profitable year for the year ended December 31, 2014.

As of December 31, 2018, the Group had net operating loss carryforwards of RMB1,180,159 which can be carried forward to offset taxable income. The carryforwards period for net operating losses under the EIT Law is five years. The net operating loss carry forward of the Group will start to expire in 2019 for the amount of RMB395,272 if not utilized. The remaining net operating loss carryforwards will expire in varying amounts between 2020 and 2023. Other than the expiration, there are no other limitations or restrictions upon the Groups ability to use these operating loss carryforwards. There is no expiration for the advertising expenses carryforwards.
A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when the Group determines that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be utilized in the future. In making such determination, the Group evaluates a variety of factors including the Groups operating history, accumulated deficit, existence of taxable temporary differences and reversal periods.
As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, valuation allowances of RMB1,198,872 and RMB1,207,426 were provided because it was more likely than not that the Group will not be able to utilize certain tax losses carry forwards and other deferred tax assets generated by its subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities. If events occur in the future that allow the Group to realize more of its deferred tax assets than the presently recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowances will increase income when those events occur.

15. Redeemable noncontrolling interests
In December 2016, the Group entered into an investment agreement with certain investors (noncontrolling shareholders) to establish a subsidiary. The noncontrolling shareholders contributed RMB90,000 and held 30% equity interest. Pursuant to the investment agreement, the noncontrolling shareholders have the option to request the Group to redeem their equity interests at an agreed price after three years of the investment. In April 2018, the Group agreed with one of the noncontrolling shareholders to purchase its 10% equity interest of the subsidiary at the cost of RMB30,000.
The Group recorded the noncontrolling interests as redeemable noncontrolling interests, outside of permanent equity in the Groups consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 480. The Group uses the effective interest method for the changes of redemption value over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the noncontrolling interests. The accretion, which increases the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests, is recorded against additional paid-in capital.
The change in the carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interests for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 is as follows:

17. Share-based Compensation Expenses
The Companys 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2008 Plan) allows the plan administrator to grant share options and restricted shares to the Companys employees, directors, and consultants, up to a maximum of 11,500,000 ordinary shares. In December 2012, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the plan to 18,375,140 ordinary shares. In April 2014 the Company adopted the 2014 Share Incentive Plan (the 2014 Plan). The maximum aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to all awards under the 2014 Plan was initially 5,500,000 ordinary shares as of the date of its approval. The number of shares reserved for future issuances under the 2014 Plan will be increased automatically if and whenever the ordinary shares reserved under the 2014 Plan account for less than1% of the total then-issued and outstanding ordinary shares on an as-converted basis, as a result of which increase the ordinary shares reserved under the 2014 Plan immediately after each such increase shall equal 5% of the then-issued and outstanding ordinary shares on an as-converted basis. In December 2016, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the 2014 Plan to 7,942,675 ordinary shares.
The share options and restricted shares granted under the 2008 plan initially have a contractual term of six years, and grants under the 2014 plan have a contractual term of ten years. The incentive awards under both 2008 plan and 2014 plan generally vest over a period of four years of continuous service, one fourth (1/4) of which vest upon the first anniversary of the stated vesting commencement date and the remaining vest ratably over the following 36 months. Under the 2008 plan, incentive awards are only exercisable upon occurrence of certain defined exercisable events. The Group did not recognize any share-based compensation expense for the awards granted until the completion of the Companys IPO on May 9, 2014 upon which the performance condition was satisfied. As of December 31, 2018, 20,507,371 options and 223,399 restricted shares were outstanding under the 2008 and 2014 plan.
Share-based compensation expense of RMB92,419, RMB98,675 and RMB68,738 were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

17. Share-based Compensation Expenses - continued
On March 4, 2016, the Company modified the exercise price of 14,478,293 share options granted under 2014 Plan to US$3.09. The incremental compensation expense of RMB23,197 (US$3,341) was equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award immediately after the modification over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. For options already vested as of the modification date, the Company immediately recognized the incremental value as compensation expenses. For options still unvested as of the modification date, the incremental compensation expenses are recognized over the remaining service period of these options.
On May 31, 2016, the Company modified the exercise price of 7,260,242 share options to US$0.0001 and the number of share options was reduced to 3,630,121. The incremental compensation expense was insignificant and was recognized over the remaining service period.
On February 15, 2017, the Company extended the contract life of 2,435,709 share options granted under 2008 plan from six years to ten years. On March 1, 2018, the Company extended the contract life of 200,523 share options granted under 2008 plan from six years to ten years. The incremental compensation expense for the modifications were insignificant and were recognized immediately since the share options were fully vested.
The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 was RMB26,587, RMB103,082 and RMB11,026(US$1,604), respectively.
The weighted-average grant date fair value for options granted during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018 was US$1.47, US$2.66 and US$1.28, respectively, computed using the binomial option pricing model.
The total fair value of share options vested during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017, and 2018 was RMB67,727, RMB82,814 and RMB73,997(US$10,762), respectively.
The Company estimated the expected volatility at the date of grant date and each option valuation date based on the annualized standard deviation of the daily return embedded in historical share prices of comparable companies. Risk free interest rate was estimated based on the yield to maturity of US treasury bonds denominated in US$ at the option valuation date. The exercise multiple is estimated as the ratio of fair value of underlying shares over the exercise price as at the time the option is exercised, based on a consideration of research study regarding exercise pattern based on empirical studies on the actual exercise behavior of employees. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its capital stock, and the Company does not anticipate any dividend payments on its ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. Time to maturity is the contract life of the option, and estimated forfeiture rates are determined based on historical employee turnover rate.

The Company had securities which could potentially dilute basic loss per share in the future, which were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as their effects would have been anti-dilutive. Such outstanding securities consist of the share options and unvested restricted shares with the number of 31,733,446, 17,269,396 and 8,316,843, for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
19. Restricted Net Assets
Pursuant to laws applicable to entities incorporated in the PRC, the Groups subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities in the PRC must make appropriations from after-tax profit to non-distributable reserve funds. These reserve funds include one or more of the following: (i) a general reserve, (ii) an enterprise expansion fund and (iii) a staff bonus and welfare fund. Subject to certain cumulative limits, the general reserve fund requires an annual appropriation of 10% of after tax profit (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC at each year-end) until the accumulative amount of such reserve fund reaches 50% of a companys registered capital; the other fund appropriations are at the subsidiaries discretion. These reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes of enterprise expansion and staff bonus and welfare and are not distributable as cash dividends. In addition, due to restrictions on the distribution of share capital from the Groups PRC subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities and also as a result of these entities unreserved accumulated losses, total restrictions placed on the distribution of the Groups PRC subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities net assets was RMB1,721 million, or 51.4% of the Groups total consolidated net assets as of December 31, 2018.

(b) Capital Commitments
As of December 31, 2018, capital commitments relating to leasehold improvement, purchase of equipment and construction of office building were approximately RMB 15,079.
(c) Contingencies
From time to time, the Group is involved in claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Based on currently available information, management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these unresolved matters, individually and in the aggregate, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Groups financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and the Groups view of these matters may change in the future. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Groups financial position and results of operations for the periods in which the unfavorable outcome occurs.
The Group records a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Group reviews the need for any such liability on a regular basis. In 2016, the Group received a lawsuit for claim of RMB8.8 million due to the Groups delay in payments for office rental and recorded the provision in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. During the year ended December 31, 2018, based on the result of Courts final judgment that the Groups loss was limited to RMB1.4 million, which was the deposit paid by the Group, the remaining provision of RMB7.4 million was reversed accordingly.
(d) Other commitments
Deposits or guarantees are required by the Groups business partners for air ticketing and tourist attraction tickets. Letters of guarantee are issued by banks to the Groups business partners with total amount of RMB212 million and RMB242 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, which occupies the Groups revolving credit facilities granted by banks with the total amount of RMB520 million as of December 31, 2018.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE I
TUNIU CORPORATION
CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE PARENT COMPANY
Note to Financial Statement Schedule I
Schedule I has been provided pursuant to the requirements of Rule 12-04(a) and 5-04-(c) of Regulation S-X, which require condensed financial information as to the financial position, change in financial position and results of operations of a parent company as of the same dates and for the same periods for which audited consolidated financial statements have been presented when the restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries exceed 25 percent of consolidated net assets as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year.
The condensed financial information has been prepared using the same accounting policies as set out in the accompanying consolidated financial statements except that the equity method has been used to account for investments in its subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities. Such investments in subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities are presented as investment deficit in subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities and the loss of the subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities is presented as share of loss of subsidiaries and Affiliated Entities.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The footnote disclosures to the consolidated financial statements contain information relating to the operations of the parent company and, as such, this schedule should be read in conjunction with the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
As of December 31, 2018, the parent company had no significant capital and other commitments, long-term obligations, or guarantee, except for those which have separately disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.
