These excerpts taken from the SOHU 10-K filed Feb 26, 2009.

(g) Accounts receivable, net

The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects the Company’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. In addition to reviewing delinquent accounts receivable, the Company considers many factors in estimating its general allowance, including aging analysis, historical bad debt records, customer credit analysis and any specific known troubled accounts.

STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px">(h) Associates

Associates are entities over which the Company has
significant influence, but which it does not control. Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Company’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of associates is recognized
in the income statement and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognized in reserves. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the
associates; unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. When the Company’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associates, the
Company does not recognize further losses, unless the Company has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associates.

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">(g) Investments in marketable debt securities

The Company invests its excess cash in certain marketable debt
securities of high-quality corporate issuers. The Company’s marketable debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair market values with the unrealized gains or losses recorded as accumulated other comprehensive
income in shareholders’ equity. Additionally, the Company assesses whether an other-than-temporary impairment loss on investments in marketable debt securities has occurred due to declines in fair value or other market conditions. Declines in
fair value that are considered other than temporary are recorded as an impairment of certain equity investments in the consolidated statement of income.

SIZE="2">Investments in marketable debt securities with original maturities greater than twelve months when purchased are considered long-term investments. Long-term investments in marketable securities with maturities less than twelve months from
the balance sheet date are recorded as current portion of long-term investments in marketable debt securities.
