Such consideration, if in excess of the outstanding loan amount, when received by the Nominee Shareholders upon the exercise of the exclusive option is required to be remitted in full to ChinaCache Beijing. Beijing Blue IT cannot declare any profit distributions or grant loans in any form without the prior written consent of the Company. The Nominee Shareholders must remit in full any funds received from Beijing Blue IT to ChinaCache Beijing, in the event any distributions are made by the VIEs pursuant to any written consents of the Company. This agreement is valid for ten years and expires on September 23, 2015. Such agreement was renewed for an additional ten years to September 23, 2025. Such agreement can be renewed for an additional ten years at the sole discretion of the Company, and the times of such renewals are unlimited.

A similar exclusive option agreement was signed by ChinaCache Beijing with Beijing Jingtian . Exclusive business cooperation agreement Pursuant to the exclusive business cooperation agreement between ChinaCache Beijing and the VIEs, ChinaCache Beijing is to provide exclusive business support, technical and consulting services including technical services, business consultations, access to intellectual property licenses, equipment or property leasing, marketing consultancy, system integration, product research and development and system maintenance in return for fees in an amount as determined and adjustable at the sole discretion of ChinaCache Beijing.

The original term of each of these three agreements was five years running from September 23, 2005, and each of the agreements was renewed in September 2010 for a five year term which expires on September 23, 2015. In September 2015, each of such agreements was renewed for an additional five years to September 23, 2020. The term of the equipment leasing agreement can be extended solely by ChinaCache Beijing by written notice prior to the expiration of the term, and the extended term shall be determined by ChinaCache Beijing. The exclusive business cooperation agreement, exclusive technical support and service agreement, exclusive technical consultation and training agreement, and equipment leasing agreement are collectively referred to as “Service Agreements”. Loan agreement The Company provided a loan facility of RMB10,000,000 to the Nominee Shareholders of Beijing Blue IT for the purpose of providing capital to Beijing Blue IT to develop its business. In addition, the Company also agreed to provide unlimited financial support to Beijing Blue IT for its operations and agree to forego the right to seek repayment in the event Beijing Blue IT is unable to repay such funding. The loan agreement between the Company and the Nominee Shareholders of Beijing Blue IT is valid for ten years and expires on September 23, 2015. Such agreement was renewed for an additional ten years to September 23, 2025. Such agreement can be extended for another ten years upon mutual written consent of the Company and the Nominee Shareholders of Beijing Blue IT. On January 20, 2016 the Nominee Shareholders of Beijing Blue I.T. entered into another loan agreement with ChinaCache Holdings. Pursuant to these agreements, ChinaCache Holdings provided an interest-free loan facility of RMB10,000,000 respectively, to the Nominee Shareholders of Beijing Blue I.T. for the purpose of subscribe for the capital increase of Beijing Blue I.T. The term of the loan agreement is ten years and expires on January 20, 2026. The term of the loan agreement may be extended upon mutual written consent of the parties. ChinaCache Beijing also provided a loan of RMB8,500,000 to the Nominee Shareholders of Beijing Jingtian for their investment in the registered share capital. In addition, the Company, through ChinaCache Beijing, agreed to provide unlimited financial support to Beijing Jingtian for their operations and agree to forego the right to seek repayment in the event this VIE are unable to repay such funding. The loan agreement between ChinaCache Beijing and the Nominee Shareholders of Beijing Jingtian is valid for ten years and expires on December 3, 2022. Such agreement can be extended upon mutual written consent of ChinaCache Beijing and the Nominee Shareholders of Beijing Jingtian. Power of attorney agreement The Nominee Shareholders entered into the power of attorney agreement whereby they granted an irrevocable proxy of the voting rights underlying their respective equity interests in the VIEs to ChinaCache Beijing, which includes, but are not limited to, all the shareholders’ rights and voting rights empowered to the Nominee Shareholders by the company law and the Company’s Article of Association. This agreement remains continuously valid, as long as the Nominee Shareholders continue to be the shareholders of the VIEs. Subsequently, ChinaCache Beijing assigned the power of attorney agreement to ChinaCache Beijing’s shareholders or a party designated by ChinaCache Beijing’s shareholders, to whom it granted an irrevocable proxy of the voting rights underlying their respective equity interests in the VIEs, which includes, but are not limited to, all the shareholders’ rights and voting rights empowered to the Nominee Shareholders by the company law and the Company’s Article of Association. Share pledge agreement Pursuant to the share pledge agreement between ChinaCache Beijing and the Nominee Shareholders, the Nominee Shareholders have pledged all their equity interests in the VIEs to guarantee the performance of the VIEs’ obligations under the Service Agreements. If the VIEs breach their respective contractual obligations under the business cooperation agreements, ChinaCache Beijing, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including the right to sell the pledged equity interests. The Nominee Shareholders agreed not to transfer, sell, pledge, dispose of or otherwise create any new encumbrance on their equity interests in the VIEs without the prior written consent of ChinaCache Beijing. This agreement is continuously valid until all payments due under the above VIE agreements have been fulfilled by the VIEs. Despite the lack of technical majority ownership, there exists a parent-subsidiary relationship between the Company and the VIEs through the irrevocable powers of attorney agreement, whereby the Nominee Shareholders effectively assigned all of their voting rights underlying their equity interest in the VIEs to the Company. In addition, the Company, either directly or through ChinaCache Beijing, obtained effective control over the VIEs through the ability to exercise all the rights of the VIEs’ shareholders pursuant to the share pledge agreement and the exclusive option agreements. The Company demonstrates its ability and intention to continue to exercise the ability to absorb substantially all of the expected losses directly through the loan agreements. In addition, the Company also demonstrates its ability to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of the VIEs through ChinaCache Beijing using the Service Agreements. Thus, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and consolidates the VIEs under by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 810-10 (“ASC 810-10”) “Consolidation: Overall”. Legal compliance Assessing the legal validity and compliance of these above noted arrangements are a precursor to the Company’s ability to consolidate the results of operations and financial condition of its VIEs. In the opinion of the Company’s management and PRC counsel, (i) the ownership structure of the VIEs are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations; (ii) the contractual arrangements with the VIEs and their shareholders are valid, binding and enforceable, and will not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect; and (iii) the Company’s business operations are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations in all material respects. However, there is significant consolidation judgment due to the existence of substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations. Accordingly, the Company cannot be assured that PRC regulatory authorities will not ultimately take a contrary view to its opinion. If the current ownership structure of the Company and its contractual arrangements with its VIEs is found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws and regulations, the Company may be required to restructure its ownership structure and operations in the PRC. To the extent that changes to and new PRC laws and regulations prohibit the Company’s VIE arrangements from also complying with the principles of consolidation, then the Company would no longer be able to consolidate and therefore would have to deconsolidate the financial position and results of operations of its VIEs. In the opinion of management, the likelihood of loss and deconsolidation in respect of the Company’s current ownership structure or the contractual arrangements with its VIEs is remote based on current facts and circumstances. There was no pledge or collateralization of the VIEs’ assets. Creditors of the VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, who is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, and such amounts have been parenthetically presented on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. The Consolidated VIEs operate the data centers and own facilities including data center buildings, leasehold improvements, fiber optic cables, computers and network equipment, which are recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. They also hold certain value-added technology licenses, registered copyrights, trademarks and registered domain names, including the official website, which are also considered as revenue-producing assets. However, none of such assets was recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as such assets were all acquired or internally developed with insignificant cost and expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company also hires data center operation and marketing workforce for its daily operations and such costs are expensed when incurred. The Company has not provided any financial or other support that it was not previously contractually required to provide to the Consolidated VIEs during the periods presented. Unrecognized revenue-producing assets held by the VIEs mainly include licenses, such as the Internet Content Provision License, the Value-Added Telecommunication Services Operating License, the Online Culture Operating Permit, and trademarks, patents, copy rights and the domain names. However, none of such assets was recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as such assets were all acquired or internally developed with insignificant cost and expensed as incurred. Recognized revenue-producing assets held by the VIEs include core technology, trademarks and domain names. Unrecognized revenue-producing assets, including customer lists for provision of content and application delivery total solutions, as well as trademarks, are held by the Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises (“WFOEs”). The following tables represent the financial information of the consolidated VIEs as of December 31, 2014 and 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 before eliminating the intercompany balances and transactions between the consolidated VIEs and other entities within the Group: As of December 31, 2014 2015 RMB RMB US$ ASSETS: Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents Accounts receivable (net of allowance for doubtful accounts of RMB58,871 and RMB54,171 (US$8,363) as of December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively) Prepaid expenses and other current assets Deferred tax assets Amounts due from inter-companies (1) Total current assets Non-current assets: Property and equipment, net Intangible assets, net Long term investments Deferred tax assets Long term deposits and other non-current assets Total non-current assets TOTAL ASSETS As of December 31, 2014 2015 RMB RMB US$ LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY: Current liabilities: Accounts payable Accrued employee benefits Accrued expenses and other payables Income tax payable Liabilities for uncertain tax positions Amounts due to inter-companies (1) Amount due to a subsidiary held for sale (2) — Current portion of capital lease obligations Deferred government grant Total current liabilities Non-current liabilities: Non-current portion of capital lease obligations Deferred government grant — Total non-current liabilities Total liabilities (1) Amount due from/to inter-companies consist of intercompany receivables/payables to the other companies within the Group.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). (b) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs are eliminated upon consolidation. Results of acquired subsidiaries or VIEs are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. (c) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Areas where management uses subjective judgment include, but are not limited to, estimating the useful lives of long-lived assets and intangible assets, impairment of long-term investments, long-lived assets and intangible assets, allowance for doubtful debts, accounting for deferred income taxes, and accounting for share-based compensation arrangements. The valuation of and accounting for the Company’s financial instruments also requires significant estimates and judgments provided by management. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. (d) Foreign currency The functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries and VIEs is the Renminbi (“RMB”), except for ChinaCache US, ChinaCache HK and Chinacache IE, which are the United States dollar (“US$”), Hong Kong dollar (“HK$”) and Euro (“EUR”) respectively, as determined based on the criteria of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830 (“ASC 830”) “ Foreign Currency Matters ”. The reporting currency of the Company is also the RMB. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured into the functional currency 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. Exchange gains and losses are included in foreign exchange gains and losses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Assets and liabilities of ChinaCache US, ChinaCache HK and Chinacache IE 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. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). (e) Convenience translation Amounts in United States dollars (‘‘US$’’) are presented for the convenience of the reader and are translated at the noon buying rate of US$1.00 to RMB6.4778 on December 31, 2015 in the City of New York for cable transfers of RMB as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at such rate. (f) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use and have original maturities less than three months. For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents also consist of cash and cash equivalents included in assets held for sale. (g) Restricted cash Restricted cash represents amounts held by a bank as security for the short term loan and, therefore, are not available for the Group’s use. (h) Accounts r eceivable and allowance for doubtful accounts Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period when loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging and other factors. An accounts receivable is written off after all collection effort has ceased. (i) Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: Optical Fibers 20 years Computer equipment 3-5 years Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5 years Motor vehicles 10 years Leasehold improvements Over the shorter of lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense when incurred, whereas the cost of betterments that extend the useful life of property and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirement, sale and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and related accumulated depreciation with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Property and equipment that are purchased or constructed which require a period of time before the assets are ready for their intended use are accounted for as construction-in-progress. Construction-in-progress is recorded at acquisition cost, including installation costs. Construction-in-progress is transferred to specific property and equipment accounts and commences depreciation when these assets are ready for their intended use. The Company did not recognize any capitalized interest during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015. (j) Land use right The land use right represent the amounts paid and relevant costs incurred for the right to use land in the PRC and are recorded at purchase cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective land use right agreement. (k) Intangible assets Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the intangible assets as follows: Purchased software 5 years (l) Long-lived assets (disposal group) to be disposed of by sale The Group classifies long-lived assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through disposal by sale rather than through continuing use. Such long-lived assets and disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the sale, excluding the finance costs and income tax expense. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Property and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized once classified as held for distribution. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the consolidated balance sheets. A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. (m) Impairment of long-lived assets The Company evaluates its long-lived assets or asset group, including intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or a group of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company evaluates for 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 flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, when the market prices are not readily available for the long-lived assets. No impairment charge was recognized for each of the three years ended December 31, 2015. (n) Investments Held to maturity investments All highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than 90 days but less than 365 days are classified as short-term investments. Investments that are expected to be realized in cash during the next 12 months are also included in short-term investments. The Company accounts for short-term investments in accordance with ASC Topic 320 (“ASC 320”), Investments - Debt and Equity Securities . The Company classifies the short-term investments in debt and equity securities as “held-to-maturity”, “trading” or “available-for-sale”, whose classification determines the respective accounting methods stipulated by ASC 320. Dividend and interest income for all categories of investments in securities are included in earnings. Any realized gains or losses, if any, on the sale of the short-term investments are determined on a specific identification method, and such gains and losses are reflected in earnings during the period in which gains or losses are realized. The securities that the Company has positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and stated at amortized cost. For individual securities classified as held-to-maturity securities, the Company evaluates whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary in accordance with the Company’s policy and ASC 320. When the Company intends to sell an impaired debt security or it is more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred. In these instances, the other-than-temporary impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the entire excess of the debt security’s amortized cost basis over its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. When the Company does not intend to sell an impaired debt security and it is more-likely-than-not that it will not be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company must determine whether or not it will recover its amortized cost basis. If the Company concludes that it will not, an other-than-temporary impairment exists and that portion of the credit loss is recognized in earnings, while the portion of loss related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive loss. The securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities are included in earnings. Available-for-sale investments Investments not classified as trading or as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale securities. Such available-for-sale investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. Realized gains or losses are charged to earnings during the period in which the gain or loss is realized. If the Company determines a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the individual security is written down to its estimated fair value. The new cost basis will not be adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value. Determination of whether declines in value are other-than-temporary requires significant judgment. Subsequent increases and decreases in the fair value of available-for-sale securities will be included in other comprehensive income (loss) except for an other-than-temporary impairment, which would be charged to current period earnings. Impairment of available-for-sale investment for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 were RMB1,217,000, nil and nil, respectively. Investment in limited partnerships — Equity method/ Cost Where consolidation is not appropriate, the Company applies the equity method of accounting that is consistent with ASC 323 “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures” to limited partnerships in which the Company holds either (a) a five percent or greater interest or (b) less than a five percent interest when the Company has more than virtually no influence over the operating or financial policies of the limited partnership. The Company considers certain qualitative factors in assessing whether it has more than virtually no influence for partnership interests of less than five percent. For investments other than those described in (a) and (b) above, the Company applies the cost method of accounting that is consistent with ASC 325 “Investments — Other”. Cost Method Investment In accordance with ASC subtopic 325-20 (“ASC 325-20”), Investments-Other: Cost Method Investments, for investments which are not in-substance common stock and hence, do not have readily determinable fair values or investments in an investee over which the Company does not have significant influence, the Company carries the investment at cost and only adjusts for other-than-temporary declines in fair value and distributions of earnings that exceed the Company’s share of earnings since its investment. Management regularly evaluates the impairment of the cost method investments based on performance and financial position of the investee as well as other evidence of market value. Such evaluation includes, but is not limited to, reviewing the investee’s cash position, recent financing, projected and historical financial performance, cash flow forecasts and financing needs. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the excess of the investment’s cost over its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value would then become the new cost basis of investment. (o) Fair value of financial instruments The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables included in prepaid expenses, short-term investments and other current assets, short term loan, accounts payables, balances with related parties and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term loan approximate its fair value since it bears interest rate which approximates market interest rates. Available-for-sale investments were initially recognized at cost and subsequently remeasured at the end of each reporting period with the adjustment in its fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company, with the assistance of an independent third party valuation firm, determined the estimated fair value of its available-for-sale investments that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. (p) Revenue recognition The Company provides a portfolio of content and application delivery total solutions within its one class of services, such as, web page content services; file transfer services; rich media streaming services; guaranteed application delivery; managed internet data services; cloud services; content bridging services; mobile internet solution; and value-added services to its customers that in turn improve the performance, reliability and scalability of their internet services and applications. Consistent with the criteria of ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes revenue from sales of these services when there is a signed sales agreement with fixed or determinable fees, services have been provided to the customer and collection of the resulting customer’s receivable is reasonably assured. The Company’s services are provided under the terms of a one-year master service agreement, which will typically accompany a one-year term renewal option with the same terms and conditions. Customers can choose at the outset of the arrangement to either use the Company’s services through a monthly fixed bandwidth or traffic volume usage and fee arrangement or choose a plan based on actual bandwidth or traffic volume used during the month at fixed pre-set rates. The Company recognizes and bills for revenue for excess usage, if any, in the month of its occurrence to the extent a customer’s usage of the services exceeds their pre-set monthly fixed bandwidth usage and fee arrangements. The rates as specified in the master service agreements are fixed for the duration of the contract term and are not subject to adjustment. The Company may charge its customers an initial set-up fee prior to the commencement of their services. To date these amounts have been insignificant, however, the Company’s policy is to record these initial set-up fees as deferred revenue and recognize them as revenue ratably over the estimated life of the customer arrangement. Business tax and related surcharges on revenues earned from provision of services to customers is recorded as a deduction from gross revenue to derive net revenue in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized. The business tax and related surcharges expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 amounted to approximately RMB23,906,000, RMB10,598,000 and RMB nil (US$nil), respectively. Effective in September 2012, 6% of value-added tax, or VAT, replaced the original 5% business tax in Beijing as a result of the PRC government’s pilot VAT reform program, which applies to all services provided by Chinacache Beijing and Beijing Jingtian and certain services provided by Beijing Blue IT. Effective in June 2014, 6% of VAT replaced the original 3% business tax in Beijing as a result of the PRC government’s pilot VAT reform program on telecom industry, which applies to all services provided by Beijing Blue IT. (q) Cost of revenues Cost of revenue consists primarily of depreciation of the Company’s long-lived assets, amortization of acquired intangible assets, maintenance, purchase of bandwidth and other overhead expenses directly attributable to the provision of content and application delivery total solutions. Prior to September 2012, ChinaCache Beijing was subject to business tax and other surcharges on certain revenues earned for exclusive business support, technical and consulting services provided to the Company’s VIEs, pursuant to the VIE agreements (Note 1). Since September 2012, all service provided by ChinaCache Beijing is subject to VAT. Effective since June 2014, all the services provided by the Group in Mainland China, including VIEs are subject to VAT. Such business tax, VAT (to the extent that is non-deductible) and other surcharges are accrued and charged to cost of revenues as the related exclusive business support, technical and consulting services are rendered. (r) Advertising expenditures Advertising expenditures are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenditures, included in sales and marketing expenses, amounted to approximately RMB81,000, RMB450,000 and RMB678,000 (US$105,000), for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. (s) Research and development costs Research and development costs consist primarily of payroll and related personnel costs for minor routine upgrades and related enhancements to the Company’s services and network. Costs incurred in the development of the Company’s services are expensed as incurred. To date, the amount of costs qualifying for capitalization has been insignificant. (t) Government Grants Government grants are provided by the relevant PRC municipal government authorities to subsidize the cost of certain research and development projects. The amount of such government grants are determined solely at the discretion of the relevant government authorities and there is no assurance that the Company will continue to receive these government grants in the future. Government grants are recognized when it is probable that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them, and the grants are received. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as deferred government grants and released to the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss over the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate, as other operating income. Where the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as deferred government grants and released to the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset, when operational, as other operating income. Government grants received by the Company also consist of unrestricted grants which are received on an unsolicited and unconditional basis to support the growth of the Company and do not relate to the Company’s operating activities. Unrestricted grants are classified as non-operating income and recorded in other income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss upon receipt. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Company received unrestricted grants amounting to RMB1,031,000, RMB5,282,000 and RMB685,000(US$106,000), respectively. (u) Leases Leases are classified at the inception date as either a capital lease or an operating lease. The Company did not enter into any leases whereby it is the lessor for any of the periods presented. As the lessee, a lease is a capital lease if any of the following conditions exists: 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 property’s 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. A lease involving integral equipment is a capital lease only if condition (a) or (b) exists. 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. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the periods of their respective leases. The Company leases office space and employee accommodation under operating lease agreements. Certain of the lease agreements contain rent holidays. Rent holidays are considered in determining the straight-line rent expense to be recorded over the lease term. The lease term begins on the date of initial possession of the lease property for purposes of recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The excess of rent expense and rent paid, as the case may be for respective leases, is recorded as deferred rental included in the prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. (v) Income taxes The Company follows the liability method in accounting for income taxes in accordance to ASC topic 740 (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company adopted ASC 740 to account for uncertainty in income taxes. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of “interest expense” and “other expenses,” respectively, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. (w) Share -based compensation Share options and restricted shares award granted to employees are accounted for under ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company determines whether a share option or restricted shares award should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or an equity award. All grants of share options and restricted shares award to employees classified as equity awards are recognized in the financial statements over their requisite service period based on their grant date fair values. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expenses using the accelerated method for its share options and restricted share award granted. For restricted share awards granted with performance conditions, the Company commences recognition of the related compensation expense if it is probable the defined performance condition will be met. To the extent that the Company determines that it is probable that a different number of share-based awards will vest depending on the outcome of the performance condition, the cumulative effect of the change in estimate is recognized in the period of change. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in the subsequent period if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. Forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical and future expectations of employee turnover rates and are adjusted to reflect future changes in circumstances and facts, if any. Share-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures such that expense was recorded only for those share-based awards that are expected to vest. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Company estimated that the forfeiture rate for both the management group and the non-management group was zero. To the extent the Company revises this estimate in the future, the share-based payments could be materially impacted in the period of revision, as well as in following periods. The Company, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, determined the estimated fair values of the share options granted to employees and non-employees using the binomial option pricing model. (x) Loss per share In accordance with ASC 260, “ Earnings per Share,” basic loss 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 loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders as adjusted for the effect of dilutive ordinary equivalent shares, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of the ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of the share options, using the treasury stock method. Ordinary share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive. (y) Comprehensive loss Comprehensive loss is defined as the decrease in equity of the Company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive loss is reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive income of the Company includes foreign currency translation adjustments related to ChinaCache US, ChinaCache HK and Chinacache IE, whose functional currency are US$, HK$ and EURO, respectively, and the change in fair value of available-for-sale investments (Note 11) and their corresponding deferred tax impact, if any. (z) Segment reporting The Company follows ASC 280, ““ Segment Reporting.” The Company’s Chief Executive Officer or chief operating decision-maker reviews the consolidated financial results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Company as a whole and hence, the Company has only one reportable segment. The Company operates and manages its business as a single segment through the provision of a single class of global services for accelerating and improving the delivery of content and applications over the Internet. As the Company’s long-lived assets are substantially all located in the PRC and substantially all the Company’s revenues are derived from within the PRC, no geographical segments are presented. (aa) Employee benefits The full-time employees of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are entitled to staff welfare benefits including medical care, housing fund, unemployment insurance and pension benefits, which are government mandated defined contribution plans. These entities are required to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ respective salaries, subject to certain ceilings, in accordance with the relevant PRC regulations, and make cash contributions to the state-sponsored plans out of the amounts accrued. The total amounts for such employee benefits, which were expensed as incurred, were RMB41,036,000, RMB46,178,000 and RMB53,820,000 (US$8,308,000) for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. (bb) Share Repurchase Program Pursuant to a Board of Directors’ resolution on December 18, 2014 (“2014 Share Repurchase Plan”), August 24, 2015 (“August 2015 Share Repurchase Plan”) and December 28, 2015 (“December 2015 Share Repurchase Plan”), the Company’s management is authorized to repurchase up to US$10 million, US$6 million and US$5 million of the Company’s ADSs, respectively. Each of the Share Repurchase Plan is effective for 12 months. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had repurchased 1,300,715 ADSs amounting to US$10,000,000 (equivalent to RMB63,375,000) and 626,295 ADSs amounting to US$4,815,000 (equivalent to RMB30,516,000) under the 2014 Share Repurchase Plan and the August 2015 Share Repurchase Plan, respectively (2013 and 2014: Nil). The Company accounted for those shares repurchase as Treasury Stock at cost in accordance to ASC Subtopic 505-30 (“ASC 505-30”), Treasury Stock, and is shown separately in the Shareholders’ Equity as the Company has not yet decided on the ultimate disposition of those ADSs acquired. When the Company uses the treasury stock to settle the exercise of share options and restricted shares vested, the difference between the proceeds received upon settlement and the repurchase price is debited into accumulated deficit. When the Company decides to retire the treasury stock, the difference between the original issuance price and the repurchase price is debited into accumulated deficit. (cc) Recent Accounting Pronouncement Effective January 1, 2015, the Company adopted the amended guidance of ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which limit the definition of discontinued operations as only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The amended guidance also expands the definition of discontinued operations to include a business or nonprofit activity that, on acquisition, meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale and a disposal of an equity method investment that meets the definition of discontinued operations. The amended guidance requires the Company to report discontinued operations if (1) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria in Topic 205 to be classified as held for sale; (2) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; or (3) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is dispo |
CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Dec. 31, 2015 | |
CONCENTRATION OF RISK | |
CONCENTRATION OF RISK | 3. CONCENTRATION OF RISK (a) Credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables included in prepaid expenses, short-term investments and other current assets, available-for-sale investments and amounts due from related parties. As of December 31, 2014 and 2015, RMB256,768,000 and RMB519,914,000 (US$80,261,000), respectively, were deposited with major financial institutions located in the PRC, RMB142,773,000 and RMB51,108,000 (US$7,890,000), respectively, were deposited with in the major financial institutions located in the Hong Kong Special Administration Region, RMB nil and 1,218,000(US$188,000) ,respectively held in the major financial institutions located in Europe, and RMB44,511,000 and RMB 43,978,000(US$6,789,000), respectively held in the major financial institutions in United States of America. Management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality and continually monitor the credit worthiness of these financial institutions. Historically, deposits in Chinese banks are secure due to the state policy on protecting depositors’ interests. However, China promulgated a new Bankruptcy Law in August 2006 that came into effect on June 1, 2007, which contains a separate article expressly stating that the State Council may promulgate implementation measures for the bankruptcy of Chinese banks based on the Bankruptcy Law. Under the new Bankruptcy Law, a Chinese bank may go into bankruptcy. In addition, since China’s concession to the World Trade Organization, foreign banks have been gradually permitted to operate in China and have been significant competitors against Chinese banks in many aspects, especially since the opening of the Renminbi business to foreign banks in late 2006. Therefore, the risk of bankruptcy of those Chinese banks in which the Company has deposits has increased. In the event of bankruptcy of one of the banks which holds the Company’s deposits, it is unlikely to claim its deposits back in full since it is unlikely to be classified as a secured creditor based on PRC laws. (b) Business, supplier, customer, and economic risk The Company participates in a relatively young and dynamic industry that is heavily reliant and also susceptible to complementary and/or competitive technological advancements. The Company believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: (i) Business Risk - Third parties may develop technological or business model innovations that address content delivery requirements in a manner that is, or is perceived to be, equivalent or superior to the Company’s services. If competitors introduce new products or services that compete with, or surpass the quality, price or performance of the Company’s services, the Company may be unable to renew its agreements with existing customers or attract new customers at the prices and levels that allow the Company to generate reasonable rates of return on its investment. (ii) Supplier Risk - Changes in key telecommunications resources suppliers and certain strategic relationships with telecom carriers. The Company’s operations are dependent upon communications capacity provided by the third-party telecom carriers and third-party controlled end-user access network. There can be no assurance that the Company are adequately prepared for unexpected increases in bandwidth demands by its customers. The communications capacity the Company has leased may become unavailable for a variety of reasons, such as physical interruption, technical difficulties, contractual disputes, or the financial health of its third-party providers. Any failure of these network providers to provide the capacity the Company requires may result in a reduction in, or interruption of, service to its customers. For the years ended on December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, 94%, 97% and 95% of bandwidth resources in term of costs were leased from the two major PRC telecom carriers, China Telecom and China Unicom. (iii) Customer Risk - Revenue concentration on certain customers. The success of the Company’s business going forward will rely in part on Company’s ability to continue to obtain and expand business from existing customers while also attracting new customers. Although the Company has a diversified base of customers covering its one class of services, such as, web page content services; file transfer services; rich media streaming service; guaranteed application services; managed internet data services; cloud services; content bridging services; mobile internet solution; and value-added services, the Company does depend on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of their revenue, and the loss of, or a significant shortfall in demand from, these customers could significantly harm the Company’s results of operations. Details of the revenues for customers accounting for 10% or more of total revenues are as follows: Years as of December 31, 2013 2014 2015 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 US$’000 Customer A * * * Customer B Details of the accounts receivables for customers accounting for 10% or more of total accounts receivable are as follows: Years as of December 31, 2014 2015 RMB’000 RMB’000 US$’000 Customer A * * Customer B * *not greater than 10% (iv) Emerging or unproven business models of customers. Many of the Company’s existing and potential customers are pursuing emerging or unproven business models which, if unsuccessful, could lead to a substantial decline in demand for the Company’s services, and the Company’s growth and prospects may be materially and adversely affected. (v) Political, economic and social uncertainties. The Company’s operations could be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than 20 years, no assurance can be given that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC political, economic and social conditions. There is also no guarantee that the PRC government’s pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective. (vi) Regulatory restrictions. The applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations currently prohibit foreign ownership of companies that provide content and application delivery services. Accordingly, the Company’s subsidiary, ChinaCache Beijing is currently ineligible to apply for the required licenses for providing content and application delivery services in China. As a result, the Company operates its business in the PRC through its VIEs, which holds the licenses and permits required to provide content and application delivery services in the PRC. The PRC Government may also choose at any time to block access to the Company’s customers’ content which could also materially impact the Company’s ability to generate revenue. (c) Currency convertibility risk Substantially all of the Company’s businesses are transacted in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. On January 1, 1994, the PRC government abolished the dual rate system and introduced a single rate of exchange as quoted daily by the People’s Bank of China. However, the unification of the exchange rates does not imply the convertibility of RMB into US$ or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the People’s Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts. (d) Foreign currency exchange rate risk From July 21, 2005, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. The appreciation of the RMB against US$ was approximately 2.8% and the depreciation of the RMB against US$ 2.5% in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, while the depreciation of RMB against US$ was approximately 4.4% in the year ended December 31, 2015. Most of revenues and costs of the Company are denominated in RMB, while a portion of cash and cash equivalents, short-term financial assets and investments are denominated in U.S. dollars. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially and adversely affect the Company’s cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, and any dividends payable on, the ADS in US$. |

The 2007 Plan, 2008 Plan, 2010 Plan and 2011 Plan (collectively, the “Option Plans”) will be administered by the Compensation Committee as set forth in the Option Plans (the “Plan Administrator”). The board of directors of a committee designated by the board will administer the plan to execute Option Agreements with those persons selected by the Plan Administrator and issue ordinary shares of the Company upon exercise of any options so granted pursuant to the terms of an Option Agreement. The 2007 and 2008 Option Plans each contain the same terms and conditions. All options granted under the 2007 and 2008 Option Plans have a term of nine years from the option grant date and have two different vesting schedules: 1) vest 100% on the stated vesting commencement date in the grantee’s option agreement; or 2) vest 50% on the second anniversary of the stated vesting commencement date and 25% on the third and fourth anniversaries of the stated vesting commencement date.

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Company granted 9,471,008, 5,734,480 and nil options, respectively, to a combination of employees and directors of the Company at exercise prices ranging from US$0.24 to US$0.53. As of December 31, 2015, options to purchase 17,472,054 of ordinary shares were outstanding and options to purchase 7,294,209 ordinary shares were available for future grant under the Option Plans. The binomial option pricing model was applied in determining the estimated fair value of the options granted to employees and non-employees. The model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the estimated expected stock price volatility, the expected price multiple at which employees are likely to exercise share options. For expected volatilities, the Company has made reference to the historical price volatilities of ordinary shares of several comparable companies in the same industry as the Company. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury Bills yield in effect at the time of grant. (a) Options Granted to Employees The following table summarized the Company’s employee share option activity under the Option Plans: Number of options Weighted average Exercise price Weighted average remaining contractual term Aggregate intrinsic value (US$) (Years) (US$’000) Outstanding, January 1, 2014 Granted Exercised ) Forfeited ) Outstanding, December 31, 2014 Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2014 Exercisable at December 31, 2014 Exercised ) Forfeited ) Outstanding, December 31, 2015 Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2015 Exercisable at December 31, 2015 The aggregated intrinsic value of stock options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2015 was calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on December 31, 2015 of US$8.24 per ADS (equivalent to US$0.52 per ordinary share). The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 was RMB15,497,000, RMB79,729,000 and RMB29,241,000(US$4,514,000), respectively.

INCOME TAXES | 20. INCOME TAXES Enterprise income tax Cayman Islands The Company is a tax exempt company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and conducts substantially all of its business through its subsidiaries and VIEs. Ireland ChinaCache Ireland limited was registered in Mahon, Cork, Ireland in 2013. The entity is subject to Ireland Income Tax (12.5%). United States of America ChinaCache North America, Inc. was registered in California, United States of America in 2007. The entity is subject to both California State Income Tax (8.84%) and Federal Income Tax (graduated income tax rate up to 35%) on its taxable income under the current laws of the state of California and United States of America. Hong Kong ChinaCache Networks (Hong Kong) Limited, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Hong Kong, is subject to Hong Kong corporate income tax at a rate of 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits arising in Hong Kong. The PRC The Company’s subsidiaries and the VIEs that are each incorporated in the PRC are subject to Corporate Income Tax (“CIT”) on the taxable income as reported in their respective statutory financial statements adjusted in accordance with the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Laws (“PRC Income Tax Laws”) effective from January 1, 2008. Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and the VIEs are subject to a CIT statutory rate of 25%. Under the PRC Income Tax Laws, an enterprise which qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise (“the HNTE”) is entitled to a preferential tax rate of 15% provided it continues to meet HNTE qualification standards on an annual basis. ChinaCache Beijing qualifies as an HNTE and is entitled for a preferential tax rate of 15% from 2013 to 2015. The HNTE certificate of ChinaCache Beijing is expiring in 2016 and there exists uncertainties with the reapplication outcome. The Company thus applied 25% in deferred tax computation. Beijing Blue IT has applied for renewal of High and New Technology Enterprise status from 2015 to 2017 and received official approval as High and New Technology Enterprise in July 2015, and therefore is eligible for a preferential tax rate of 15% effective from 2015 to 2017 if it continues to qualify on an annual basis. In accordance with the PRC Income Tax Laws, enterprises established under the laws of foreign countries or regions but whose “place of effective management” is located within the PRC are considered PRC tax resident enterprises and subject to PRC income tax at the rate of 25% on worldwide income. The definition of “place of effective management” refers to an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production and business, personnel, accounting, properties, etc. of an enterprise. As of December 31, 2015, no applicable detailed interpretation or guidance has been issued to define “place of effective management”. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2015, the administrative practice associated with interpreting and applying the concept of “place of effective management” is unclear. Based on the assessment of facts and circumstances available at December 31, 2015, management believes none of its non-PRC entities are more likely than not PRC tax resident enterprises. It is possible the assessment of tax residency status may change in the next twelve months, pending announcement of new PRC tax rules in the future. The Company will continue to monitor its tax status.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company has net operating tax losses carried forward from its PRC subsidiaries, as per filed tax returns, of RMB44,860,000 (US$6,925,000), which will expire between 2016 and 2020. As of December 31, 2015, the Company intends to permanently reinvest the undistributed earnings from its foreign subsidiaries to fund future operations. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in foreign subsidiaries is not determined because such a determination is not practicable. Unrecognized Tax Benefits As of December 31, 2014 and 2015, the Company recorded an unrecognized tax benefit of RMB24,917,000 and RMB22,978,000 (US$3,547,000), respectively, of which RMB13,178,000 and RMB6,828,000 (US$1,054,000), respectively, are presented on a net basis against the deferred tax assets related to tax loss carry forwards on the consolidated balance sheets. The unrecognized tax benefit is mainly related to under-reported income and transfer pricing for certain subsidiaries and VIEs. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months, pending clarification of current tax law or audit by the tax authorities, however, an estimate of the range of the possible change cannot be made at this time. As of December 31, 2014 and 2015, all of the unrecognized tax benefits, if ultimately recognized, will impact the effective tax rate. The Company recorded penalty of RMB99,000 and RMB2,206,000 (US$341,000) and interest expense of RMB2,031,000 and RMB1,619,000 (US$250,000) for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s tax years ended December 31, 2008 through 2015 remain open for statutory examination by tax authorities. A roll-forward of accrued unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: December 31, 2014 2015 RMB’000 RMB’000 US$’000 Balance—beginning Increase based on tax positions related to the current year Decrease of tax positions related to prior year ) ) ) Reclassified as liabilities held for sale (Note 10) — ) ) Balance—ending |

RESTRICTED NET ASSETS | |
RESTRICTED NET ASSETS | 23. RESTRICTED NET ASSETS The Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiaries. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries. In accordance with the PRC Regulations on Enterprises with Foreign Investment and the articles of association of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, a foreign-invested enterprise established in the PRC is required to provide certain statutory reserves, namely general reserve fund, the enterprise expansion fund and staff welfare and bonus fund which are appropriated from net profit as reported in the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. A foreign-invested enterprise is required to allocate at least 10% of its annual after-tax profit to the general reserve until such reserve has reached 50% of its respective registered capital based on the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. Appropriations to the enterprise expansion fund and staff welfare and bonus fund are at the discretion of the board of directors for all foreign-invested enterprises. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends. ChinaCache Beijing was established as a foreign-invested enterprise and, therefore, is subject to the above mandated restrictions on distributable profits. As a result of these PRC laws and regulations subject to the limit discussed above that require annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax income to be set aside, prior to payment of dividends as general reserve fund, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company in the form of dividend payments, loans or advances. As of December 31, 2014 and 2015, the Company had appointed RMB1,326,000 and RMB1,326,000 (US$205,000), respectively in its statutory reserves. Foreign exchange and other regulations in the PRC may further restrict the Company’s VIEs from transferring funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances. Amounts restricted include paid-in capital and statutory reserves of the Company’s PRC Subsidiaries and the equity of VIEs, as determined pursuant to PRC generally accepted accounting principles. As of December 31, 2015, restricted net assets of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and VIEs were RMB449,886,000(US$69,450,000). |

During 2014, the Company issued 31,379,008 treasury stock to its share depositary bank which will be used to settle stock option awards upon their exercise. During 2015, the Company issued 163,904 treasury stock to its share depositary bank which will be used to settle stock option awards upon their exercise. No consideration was received by the Company for this issuance of ordinary shares. These ordinary shares are legally issued and outstanding but are treated as escrowed shares for accounting purposes and therefore, have been excluded from the computation of loss per share. Any ordinary shares not used in the settlement of stock option awards will be returned to the Company. During 2015, treasury stock has been used to settle the exercise of 8,776,032 share options and 9,291,500 shares of restricted shares vested, respectively. |

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT | 25. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT The Company applies ASC topic 820, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” . ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires disclosures to be provided on fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: 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. ASC 820 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. In accordance with ASC 820, the available-for-sale investment of the mutual fund is classified within Level 1 as the Company measures the fair value using quoted trading prices that are published on a regular basis. The available-for-sale investments in preferred shares of Investee C and convertible loan of investee B are classified within Level 3 and determined based on discounted cash flow model using the discount curve of market interest rates. The fair value of the investments was determined by management with the assistance of an independent third party valuation firm. Investment in the Investee B RMB’000 Fair value at January 1, 2014 — Investment during 2014 Fair value at December 31, 2014 and January 1, 2015 Changes in fair value Fair value at December 31, 2015 Fair value at December 31, 2015 (US$’000) The Company’s valuation techniques used to measure the fair value were derived from management’s assumptions of estimations. Changes in the fair value of the available-for-sale investment will be recorded in other comprehensive income. |

(c) Contingencies The Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors have been named as defendants in a putative shareholder class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California filed on October 9, 2015. The action — purportedly brought on behalf of a class of persons who allegedly suffered damages as a result of their trading activities related to our ADSs from March 27, 2015 to August 20, 2015 — alleges that certain of our statements in press releases, quarterly earnings calls, and an SEC filing contained misstatements or omissions related to our High Performance Cloud Cache platform and asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act. On January 5, 2016, the court appointed a lead plaintiff and approved the lead plaintiff’s selection of lead counsel. On February 19, 2016, the lead plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint. On April 4, 2016, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint. As the action remains in its preliminary stages, the Company’s management is unable to express any opinion on the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or any estimate of the amount or range of any potential loss. |

Principles of consolidation | (b) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs are eliminated upon consolidation. Results of acquired subsidiaries or VIEs are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. |
Use of estimates | (c) Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Areas where management uses subjective judgment include, but are not limited to, estimating the useful lives of long-lived assets and intangible assets, impairment of long-term investments, long-lived assets and intangible assets, allowance for doubtful debts, accounting for deferred income taxes, and accounting for share-based compensation arrangements. The valuation of and accounting for the Company’s financial instruments also requires significant estimates and judgments provided by management. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. |
Foreign currency | (d) Foreign currency The functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries and VIEs is the Renminbi (“RMB”), except for ChinaCache US, ChinaCache HK and Chinacache IE, which are the United States dollar (“US$”), Hong Kong dollar (“HK$”) and Euro (“EUR”) respectively, as determined based on the criteria of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830 (“ASC 830”) “ Foreign Currency Matters ”. The reporting currency of the Company is also the RMB. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured into the functional currency 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. Exchange gains and losses are included in foreign exchange gains and losses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Assets and liabilities of ChinaCache US, ChinaCache HK and Chinacache IE 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. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). |

An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period when loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging and other factors. An accounts receivable is written off after all collection effort has ceased. |
Property and equipment | (i) Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: Optical Fibers 20 years Computer equipment 3-5 years Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5 years Motor vehicles 10 years Leasehold improvements Over the shorter of lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense when incurred, whereas the cost of betterments that extend the useful life of property and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirement, sale and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and related accumulated depreciation with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Property and equipment that are purchased or constructed which require a period of time before the assets are ready for their intended use are accounted for as construction-in-progress. Construction-in-progress is recorded at acquisition cost, including installation costs. Construction-in-progress is transferred to specific property and equipment accounts and commences depreciation when these assets are ready for their intended use. The Company did not recognize any capitalized interest during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 |
Land use right | (j) Land use right The land use right represent the amounts paid and relevant costs incurred for the right to use land in the PRC and are recorded at purchase cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective land use right agreement. |
Intangible assets | (k) Intangible assets Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the intangible assets as follows: Purchased software 5 years |
Long-lived assets (disposal group) to be disposed of by sale | (l) Long-lived assets (disposal group) to be disposed of by sale The Group classifies long-lived assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through disposal by sale rather than through continuing use. Such long-lived assets and disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the sale, excluding the finance costs and income tax expense. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Property and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized once classified as held for distribution. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the consolidated balance sheets. A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. |
Impairment of long-lived assets | (m) Impairment of long-lived assets The Company evaluates its long-lived assets or asset group, including intangible assets with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or a group of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company evaluates for 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 flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, when the market prices are not readily available for the long-lived assets. No impairment charge was recognized for each of the three years ended December 31, 2015. |
Investments | (n) Investments Held to maturity investments All highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than 90 days but less than 365 days are classified as short-term investments. Investments that are expected to be realized in cash during the next 12 months are also included in short-term investments. The Company accounts for short-term investments in accordance with ASC Topic 320 (“ASC 320”), Investments - Debt and Equity Securities . The Company classifies the short-term investments in debt and equity securities as “held-to-maturity”, “trading” or “available-for-sale”, whose classification determines the respective accounting methods stipulated by ASC 320. Dividend and interest income for all categories of investments in securities are included in earnings. Any realized gains or losses, if any, on the sale of the short-term investments are determined on a specific identification method, and such gains and losses are reflected in earnings during the period in which gains or losses are realized. The securities that the Company has positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and stated at amortized cost. For individual securities classified as held-to-maturity securities, the Company evaluates whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary in accordance with the Company’s policy and ASC 320. When the Company intends to sell an impaired debt security or it is more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred. In these instances, the other-than-temporary impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the entire excess of the debt security’s amortized cost basis over its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. When the Company does not intend to sell an impaired debt security and it is more-likely-than-not that it will not be required to sell prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company must determine whether or not it will recover its amortized cost basis. If the Company concludes that it will not, an other-than-temporary impairment exists and that portion of the credit loss is recognized in earnings, while the portion of loss related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive loss. The securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities are included in earnings. Available-for-sale investments Investments not classified as trading or as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale securities. Such available-for-sale investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity. Realized gains or losses are charged to earnings during the period in which the gain or loss is realized. If the Company determines a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the individual security is written down to its estimated fair value. The new cost basis will not be adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value. Determination of whether declines in value are other-than-temporary requires significant judgment. Subsequent increases and decreases in the fair value of available-for-sale securities will be included in other comprehensive income (loss) except for an other-than-temporary impairment, which would be charged to current period earnings. Impairment of available-for-sale investment for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 were RMB1,217,000, nil and nil, respectively. Investment in limited partnerships — Equity method/ Cost Where consolidation is not appropriate, the Company applies the equity method of accounting that is consistent with ASC 323 “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures” to limited partnerships in which the Company holds either (a) a five percent or greater interest or (b) less than a five percent interest when the Company has more than virtually no influence over the operating or financial policies of the limited partnership. The Company considers certain qualitative factors in assessing whether it has more than virtually no influence for partnership interests of less than five percent. For investments other than those described in (a) and (b) above, the Company applies the cost method of accounting that is consistent with ASC 325 “Investments — Other”. Cost Method Investment In accordance with ASC subtopic 325-20 (“ASC 325-20”), Investments-Other: Cost Method Investments, for investments which are not in-substance common stock and hence, do not have readily determinable fair values or investments in an investee over which the Company does not have significant influence, the Company carries the investment at cost and only adjusts for other-than-temporary declines in fair value and distributions of earnings that exceed the Company’s share of earnings since its investment. Management regularly evaluates the impairment of the cost method investments based on performance and financial position of the investee as well as other evidence of market value. Such evaluation includes, but is not limited to, reviewing the investee’s cash position, recent financing, projected and historical financial performance, cash flow forecasts and financing needs. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the excess of the investment’s cost over its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value would then become the new cost basis of investment. |
Fair value of financial instruments | (o) Fair value of financial instruments The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables included in prepaid expenses, short-term investments and other current assets, short term loan, accounts payables, balances with related parties and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term loan approximate its fair value since it bears interest rate which approximates market interest rates. Available-for-sale investments were initially recognized at cost and subsequently remeasured at the end of each reporting period with the adjustment in its fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company, with the assistance of an independent third party valuation firm, determined the estimated fair value of its available-for-sale investments that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. |
Revenue recognition | (p) Revenue recognition The Company provides a portfolio of content and application delivery total solutions within its one class of services, such as, web page content services; file transfer services; rich media streaming services; guaranteed application delivery; managed internet data services; cloud services; content bridging services; mobile internet solution; and value-added services to its customers that in turn improve the performance, reliability and scalability of their internet services and applications. Consistent with the criteria of ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes revenue from sales of these services when there is a signed sales agreement with fixed or determinable fees, services have been provided to the customer and collection of the resulting customer’s receivable is reasonably assured. The Company’s services are provided under the terms of a one-year master service agreement, which will typically accompany a one-year term renewal option with the same terms and conditions. Customers can choose at the outset of the arrangement to either use the Company’s services through a monthly fixed bandwidth or traffic volume usage and fee arrangement or choose a plan based on actual bandwidth or traffic volume used during the month at fixed pre-set rates. The Company recognizes and bills for revenue for excess usage, if any, in the month of its occurrence to the extent a customer’s usage of the services exceeds their pre-set monthly fixed bandwidth usage and fee arrangements. The rates as specified in the master service agreements are fixed for the duration of the contract term and are not subject to adjustment. The Company may charge its customers an initial set-up fee prior to the commencement of their services. To date these amounts have been insignificant, however, the Company’s policy is to record these initial set-up fees as deferred revenue and recognize them as revenue ratably over the estimated life of the customer arrangement. Business tax and related surcharges on revenues earned from provision of services to customers is recorded as a deduction from gross revenue to derive net revenue in the same period in which the related revenue is recognized. The business tax and related surcharges expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 amounted to approximately RMB23,906,000, RMB10,598,000 and RMB nil (US$nil), respectively. Effective in September 2012, 6% of value-added tax, or VAT, replaced the original 5% business tax in Beijing as a result of the PRC government’s pilot VAT reform program, which applies to all services provided by Chinacache Beijing and Beijing Jingtian and certain services provided by Beijing Blue IT. Effective in June 2014, 6% of VAT replaced the original 3% business tax in Beijing as a result of the PRC government’s pilot VAT reform program on telecom industry, which applies to all services provided by Beijing Blue IT. |
Cost of revenues | (q) Cost of revenues Cost of revenue consists primarily of depreciation of the Company’s long-lived assets, amortization of acquired intangible assets, maintenance, purchase of bandwidth and other overhead expenses directly attributable to the provision of content and application delivery total solutions. Prior to September 2012, ChinaCache Beijing was subject to business tax and other surcharges on certain revenues earned for exclusive business support, technical and consulting services provided to the Company’s VIEs, pursuant to the VIE agreements (Note 1). Since September 2012, all service provided by ChinaCache Beijing is subject to VAT. Effective since June 2014, all the services provided by the Group in Mainland China, including VIEs are subject to VAT. Such business tax, VAT (to the extent that is non-deductible) and other surcharges are accrued and charged to cost of revenues as the related exclusive business support, technical and consulting services are rendered. |
Advertising expenditures | (r) Advertising expenditures Advertising expenditures are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenditures, included in sales and marketing expenses, amounted to approximately RMB81,000, RMB450,000 and RMB678,000 (US$105,000), for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. |
Research and development costs | (s) Research and development costs Research and development costs consist primarily of payroll and related personnel costs for minor routine upgrades and related enhancements to the Company’s services and network. Costs incurred in the development of the Company’s services are expensed as incurred. To date, the amount of costs qualifying for capitalization has been insignificant. |
Government Grants | (t) Government Grants Government grants are provided by the relevant PRC municipal government authorities to subsidize the cost of certain research and development projects. The amount of such government grants are determined solely at the discretion of the relevant government authorities and there is no assurance that the Company will continue to receive these government grants in the future. Government grants are recognized when it is probable that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them, and the grants are received. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as deferred government grants and released to the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss over the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate, as other operating income. Where the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as deferred government grants and released to the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset, when operational, as other operating income. Government grants received by the Company also consist of unrestricted grants which are received on an unsolicited and unconditional basis to support the growth of the Company and do not relate to the Company’s operating activities. Unrestricted grants are classified as non-operating income and recorded in other income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss upon receipt. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Company received unrestricted grants amounting to RMB1,031,000, RMB5,282,000 and RMB685,000(US$106,000), respectively. |
Leases | (u) Leases Leases are classified at the inception date as either a capital lease or an operating lease. The Company did not enter into any leases whereby it is the lessor for any of the periods presented. As the lessee, a lease is a capital lease if any of the following conditions exists: 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 property’s 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. A lease involving integral equipment is a capital lease only if condition (a) or (b) exists. 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. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the periods of their respective leases. The Company leases office space and employee accommodation under operating lease agreements. Certain of the lease agreements contain rent holidays. Rent holidays are considered in determining the straight-line rent expense to be recorded over the lease term. The lease term begins on the date of initial possession of the lease property for purposes of recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The excess of rent expense and rent paid, as the case may be for respective leases, is recorded as deferred rental included in the prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. |
Income taxes | (v) Income taxes The Company follows the liability method in accounting for income taxes in accordance to ASC topic 740 (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company adopted ASC 740 to account for uncertainty in income taxes. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of “interest expense” and “other expenses,” respectively, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. |
Share-based compensation | (w) Share -based compensation Share options and restricted shares award granted to employees are accounted for under ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company determines whether a share option or restricted shares award should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or an equity award. All grants of share options and restricted shares award to employees classified as equity awards are recognized in the financial statements over their requisite service period based on their grant date fair values. The Company has elected to recognize compensation expenses using the accelerated method for its share options and restricted share award granted. For restricted share awards granted with performance conditions, the Company commences recognition of the related compensation expense if it is probable the defined performance condition will be met. To the extent that the Company determines that it is probable that a different number of share-based awards will vest depending on the outcome of the performance condition, the cumulative effect of the change in estimate is recognized in the period of change. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in the subsequent period if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. Forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical and future expectations of employee turnover rates and are adjusted to reflect future changes in circumstances and facts, if any. Share-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures such that expense was recorded only for those share-based awards that are expected to vest. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Company estimated that the forfeiture rate for both the management group and the non-management group was zero. To the extent the Company revises this estimate in the future, the share-based payments could be materially impacted in the period of revision, as well as in following periods. The Company, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, determined the estimated fair values of the share options granted to employees and non-employees using the binomial option pricing model. |
Loss per share | (x) Loss per share In accordance with ASC 260, “ Earnings per Share,” basic loss 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 loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders as adjusted for the effect of dilutive ordinary equivalent shares, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of the ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of the share options, using the treasury stock method. Ordinary share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive. |
Comprehensive loss | (y) Comprehensive loss Comprehensive loss is defined as the decrease in equity of the Company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive loss is reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive income of the Company includes foreign currency translation adjustments related to ChinaCache US, ChinaCache HK and Chinacache IE, whose functional currency are US$, HK$ and EURO, respectively, and the change in fair value of available-for-sale investments (Note 11) and their corresponding deferred tax impact, if any. |
Segment reporting | (z) Segment reporting The Company follows ASC 280, ““ Segment Reporting.” The Company’s Chief Executive Officer or chief operating decision-maker reviews the consolidated financial results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Company as a whole and hence, the Company has only one reportable segment. The Company operates and manages its business as a single segment through the provision of a single class of global services for accelerating and improving the delivery of content and applications over the Internet. As the Company’s long-lived assets are substantially all located in the PRC and substantially all the Company’s revenues are derived from within the PRC, no geographical segments are presented. |
Employee benefits | (aa) Employee benefits The full-time employees of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are entitled to staff welfare benefits including medical care, housing fund, unemployment insurance and pension benefits, which are government mandated defined contribution plans. These entities are required to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ respective salaries, subject to certain ceilings, in accordance with the relevant PRC regulations, and make cash contributions to the state-sponsored plans out of the amounts accrued. The total amounts for such employee benefits, which were expensed as incurred, were RMB41,036,000, RMB46,178,000 and RMB53,820,000 (US$8,308,000) for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. |
Share Repurchase Program | (bb) Share Repurchase Program Pursuant to a Board of Directors’ resolution on December 18, 2014 (“2014 Share Repurchase Plan”), August 24, 2015 (“August 2015 Share Repurchase Plan”) and December 28, 2015 (“December 2015 Share Repurchase Plan”), the Company’s management is authorized to repurchase up to US$10 million, US$6 million and US$5 million of the Company’s ADSs, respectively. Each of the Share Repurchase Plan is effective for 12 months. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had repurchased 1,300,715 ADSs amounting to US$10,000,000 (equivalent to RMB63,375,000) and 626,295 ADSs amounting to US$4,815,000 (equivalent to RMB30,516,000) under the 2014 Share Repurchase Plan and the August 2015 Share Repurchase Plan, respectively (2013 and 2014: Nil). The Company accounted for those shares repurchase as Treasury Stock at cost in accordance to ASC Subtopic 505-30 (“ASC 505-30”), Treasury Stock, and is shown separately in the Shareholders’ Equity as the Company has not yet decided on the ultimate disposition of those ADSs acquired. When the Company uses the treasury stock to settle the exercise of share options and restricted shares vested, the difference between the proceeds received upon settlement and the repurchase price is debited into accumulated deficit. When the Company decides to retire the treasury stock, the difference between the original issuance price and the repurchase price is debited into accumulated deficit. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncement | (cc) Recent Accounting Pronouncement Effective January 1, 2015, the Company adopted the amended guidance of ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which limit the definition of discontinued operations as only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The amended guidance also expands the definition of discontinued operations to include a business or nonprofit activity that, on acquisition, meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale and a disposal of an equity method investment that meets the definition of discontinued operations. The amended guidance requires the Company to report discontinued operations if (1) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria in Topic 205 to be classified as held for sale; (2) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; or (3) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed other than by sale. As a result of the adoption of this amended guidance, the assets and liabilities of Xin Run that were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2015 (see Note 10 for more information) were not reported as discontinued operations as the Company did not believe the sale of Xin Run has a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 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. ASU 2014-09 is originally effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. As a result, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of its adoption and the impact of adopting the new revenue standard on its consolidated financial statements and considering additional disclosure requirements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 (“ASU 2015-17”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . ASU 2015-17 simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by eliminating the separate classification of deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in the consolidated balance sheet statement of financial position. The amendments in the update require that all deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheet. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. After the adoption of ASU 2015-17, all the current deferred tax assets will be reclassified as noncurrent deferred tax asset on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of its adoption. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases. ASU 2016-02 specifies the accounting for leases. For operating leases, ASU 2016-02 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. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 (“ASU 2016-09”), Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . ASU 2016-09 involves several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, classification on the statement of cash flows and accounting for forfeitures. Some of the areas apply only to nonpublic entities. In terms of accounting for forfeitures, companies will have to elect whether to account for forfeitures of share-based payments by (1) recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur (e.g., when an award does not vest because the employee leaves the company) or (2) estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change, as is currently required. The Company will make an election at the entity level using a modified retrospective transition method, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements. |
