Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP
To supplement the Company's financial information presented in accordance
with general accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company has utilized
some non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors and management with
supplemental measures that facilitate comparisons of operating performance and
trends with prior and future operating performance, and that may not otherwise
be apparent on a GAAP basis. These non-GAAP financial measures include non-
GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-
GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, and
non-GAAP net income per ADS. These measures may be different from non-GAAP
financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of this financial
information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting
rules or principals, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance
with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all
of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as
determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures should only be used to
evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the
corresponding GAAP measures. Please see the attached reconciliation of GAAP to
non-GAAP for an explanation of the amounts excluded to arrive at non-GAAP
financial measures for the three-month periods ended

Notes to reconciliation of our GAAP statements of income to our adjusted
statements of income:
(1) To exclude share-based compensation expenses from its non-GAAP
measures primarily because they are non-cash expenses that the Company
does not believe are reflective of ongoing operating results.
(2) To exclude the impact caused by the impairment and/or disposal
losses on available-for-sale securities from its non-GAAP measures,
which is one-off in nature.
