FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of
historical facts are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made under the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

You can identify these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as may, will, expect,
is expected to, anticipate, aim, estimate, intend, plan, believe, are likely to or other similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking
statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to:



| |  |  | our anticipated growth strategies;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | our future business development, results of operations and financial condition;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expected changes in our revenues and certain cost or expense items;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our ability to attract clients and further enhance our brand recognition;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | trends and competition in the real estate, Internet and online advertising industries; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | PRC laws, regulations and policies relating to the real estate, Internet and online advertising industries.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You should read thoroughly this annual report and the documents that we refer to in this annual report with the understanding that our
actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Other sections of this annual report include additional factors which could
adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and
uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Except as required by law, we undertake
no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Our business depends substantially on revenues from our marketing services, including primarily online advertising, and participants
in the real estate and home furnishing and improvement sectors may choose other advertising media over online advertising or other online advertisers, which could lead to loss of our revenues.

All of our marketing service revenues are generated through our websites, and we expect to continue to derive a significant proportion of
our revenues from marketing. Marketing represents our largest source of revenues, accounting for 80.6%, 74.7% and 71.7% of our revenues in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. In particular, our new home business accounted for 85.1%, 82.3% and 85.4%,
of our marketing service revenues in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. New home business primarily consists of sales of marketing services to residential property developers and their sales agents who are in the process of promoting newly developed
properties for sale.

Although the online marketing industry in China has been growing, advertisers in the real estate sector
in China have typically relied on traditional forms of advertising media, such as newspapers, magazines and outdoor advertising. If we are unable to retain and develop our base of advertising customers, including real estate developers, our business
may not grow as quickly as we expect. Moreover, advertisers may not continue to do business with us if they do not perceive our marketing services to be effective or our user demographics to be desirable.

Our ability to continue to generate and maintain marketing service revenues depends on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our
control, including:



| |  |  | the amount of user traffic on our websites, our ability to achieve user demographic characteristics that are attractive to advertisers, and our ability
to demonstrate such user traffic and demographic characteristics through our website traffic tracking tools and reporting systems;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | potential downward pressure on online marketing pricing due to increased competition from other online advertisers and traditional online advertising
media; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | widespread adoption of technologies that permit Internet users to selectively block unwanted web views, including advertisements on web pages.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we are unable to remain competitive and provide value to our advertisers, they may stop placing
advertisements with us, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to continue to obtain listings from our key customer groups, including real estate developers, agents, brokers and property owners and managers, our business, financial condition
and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We derive a significant portion of our revenues
from our listing services. In 2009, 2010 and 2011, listing service revenues represented approximately 13.8%, 18.0% and 19.5%, respectively, of our total revenues. The success of the listing service business depends on our ability to persuade real
estate developers, real estate agents, brokers and property owners and managers to list their properties on our websites. We believe having large numbers of high-quality listings from such real estate professionals attracts users to our websites,
thereby enhancing our attractiveness to advertisers and other real estate market participants. However, substantially all of our listing agreements are non-exclusive. Our listing customers may choose not to continue to use our listing services and
may choose to utilize the services of one or more of our competitors or alternative means of listing, such as real estate magazines or newspapers. If owners of large numbers of property listings, such as major developers or large brokers or property
owners in key real estate markets, choose not to renew their existing agreements with us, our websites could become less attractive to users. If we experience reduced user traffic on our websites, advertisers from whom we derive the largest
proportion of our revenues, and other real estate market participants, may discontinue the use of or be unwilling to pay for our services. In such an event, our competitive position could be significantly weakened and our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Our business could be materially and
adversely affected by fluctuations in, and government measures influencing, Chinas real estate industry.

We
conduct our real estate services business primarily in China, and our business depends substantially on conditions of the PRC real estate market. In particular, our new home business, which accounted for 69.7%, 62.3% and 68.5% of our total revenues
in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, depends upon growth in the real estate-related industry nationwide and in specific regions in China. Demand for private residential property in China has grown rapidly in recent years, but such growth is often
coupled with volatility in market conditions and fluctuation in property prices. Fluctuations of supply and demand in Chinas real estate market are caused by economic, social, political and other factors. To the extent fluctuations in the real
estate market adversely affect the demand for real estate and home furnishing and improvement services and for real estate- and home furnishing and improvement-related advertising, demand for our products and services, as well as the level of our
growth and profitability, may be materially reduced.

The real estate market in China is typically affected by changes in
government policies affecting the real estate and financial markets and related areas. In the past, the PRC government has adopted various administrative measures to curb what it perceived as unsustainable growth in the real estate market,
particularly when the real estate market in China experienced rapid and significant increases in home sales as well as prices. For example, after home sales and prices in China experienced a rapid increase in 2009 and 2010, the PRC government issued
a series of rules, orders and notices intended to curtail the overheating of the PRC property market. In particular:



| |  |  | Minimum down payment has been raised to 30% for all first property purchase;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The minimum down payment for the second housing unit purchased by a family is increased from 50% to 60% and the loan interest rate must be no less than
110% of benchmark lending interest rate;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The business tax is imposed and calculated on the full sales revenue for any housing unit held for less than five years, and on the difference between
the sales revenue and the initial amount paid for the housing unit for any non-ordinary housing unit held for five or more years;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | All municipalities directly under the central government, all provincial capitals and other cities where the local housing prices are deemed to be too
high or to have risen too fast are required to temporarily suspend the sale of housing units to families with registered local permanent residences that already own two or more housing units, families without registered local permanent residences
that already own one or more housing units, and families without registered local permanent residences that cannot provide evidence of their local payment of taxes or social insurance premiums for a required period;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Real property tax pilot projects were launched in Shanghai and Chongqing. Local regulations require a real property tax to be imposed on certain local
housing units purchased on or after January 28, 2011, generally, at a current tax rate of 0.6% in Shanghai and at a tax rate ranging from 0.5% to 1.2% in Chongqing. In Chongqing, the real property tax is also imposed on local independent houses
owned by individuals; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In the circular promulgated by the General Office of the State Council on January 26, 2011, each citys government is required to
appropriately set up and make public its target for controlling the price of local, newly built, residential housing units in 2011. Accordingly, many cities, including Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing and Shenzhen, have already set their respective
price control targets.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a result of these measures to cool down the overheating property market and to
curb excessive lending in the real estate industry, transaction volumes and/or average selling prices in the property market in many cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, have declined significantly.

In addition to government policies aimed specifically at controlling growth in real estate markets in China, our business, financial
condition and results of operations may also be negatively affected by other macroeconomic and regulatory measures. For example, in part due to concerns about inflation, the Peoples Bank of China (PBOC) significantly increased the
reserve requirement ratio for PRC commercial banks in 2010 and 2011. The reserve requirement ratio refers to the amount of funds that PRC banks must hold in reserve with the PBOC against deposits made by their customers. Increases in the reserve
requirement ratio may negatively impact the amount of funds available to lend real estate developers and home buyers by commercial banks in China, which in turn may negatively impact demand for our services and products, our business, financial
condition and results of operations. Any future policies in the following areas could cause a decline in home sales and prices, which in turn could affect the demand for our services and negatively impact our business, financial condition and
results of operation:



| |  |  | restrictive monetary policies adopted by the PRC government, including any significant increase in interest rates;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adverse developments in the credit markets and/or mortgage financing markets resulting from PRC government policies;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | policies regarding land supply;
| | - |  | -------------------------------



| |  |  | significant increases in transaction costs as a result of changes in PRC government policies regarding real estate transaction taxes, such as the sales
tax on residential property sales by individuals within five years of purchase;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adverse changes in PRC government policies regarding the acquisition and/or ownership of real estate;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adverse changes in PRC national or local government policies or practices regarding brokerage, referral or franchise business or related fees and
commissions; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | other PRC government policies or regulations that burden real estate transactions or ownership.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from four major urban centers in China, in particular, Beijing and Shanghai, and we
face market risk due to our concentration in these major urban areas.

We derive a substantial portion of our revenues
from four major urban centers in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. In 2009, 2010 and 2011, we generated revenues of US$72.9 million, US$124.6 million and US$164.4 million, respectively, representing 57.4%, 55.5% and 48.0%,
respectively, of our revenues, from these four urban centers. We expect these four urban centers to continue to be important regional sources of revenues in all of our revenue categories. If any of these major urban centers experience events which
negatively impact the real estate industry or online advertising, such as a serious economic downturn or contraction, a natural disaster, or a slower growth due to adverse governmental policies or otherwise, demand for our services could decline
significantly and our revenues and profitability could be materially reduced.

We may fail to compete successfully
against current or future competitors, which could significantly reduce our market share and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face competition from other companies in each of our primary business activities. In particular, online real estate Internet service
market in China is becoming increasingly competitive. The barriers of entry for establishing Internet-based businesses are low, thereby allowing new entrants to emerge rapidly. As the online real estate Internet service industry in China is
relatively new and constantly evolving, our current or future competitors may be able to better position themselves to compete as the industry matures. We also face competition from companies in other media that offer online advertising, online
listing and similar services. Any of these competitors may offer products and services that provide significant advantages over those offered by us in terms of performance, price, scope, creativity or other advantages. These products and services
may achieve greater market acceptance than our service offerings, and thus weaken our brand. Increased competition in the online real estate Internet service industry in China could make it difficult for us to retain existing customers and attract
new customers, and could lead to a reduction in our fees. Furthermore, our current competitors include major Internet portals in China that provide real estate Internet services, such as Sina.com and Sohu.com, which may have more established brand
names, larger visitor numbers and more extensive Internet distribution channels than we do.

In addition, we have faced and may continue to face strong competition from regionally
focused websites providing regional real estate listings together with localized services. Any of our current or future competitors may also receive investments from or enter into other commercial or strategic relationships with larger,
well-established and well-financed companies and obtain significantly greater financial, marketing and content licensing and development resources than us. Furthermore, some of our competitors receive support from local governments, which may place
us at a disadvantage when competing with them in their local markets. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against our current or future competitors. Any failure to compete effectively in the real estate Internet
services market in China would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to maintain and enhance brand awareness for our websites could lead to loss of existing customers and qualified
personnel.

We believe maintaining and enhancing our brand name as a leading real estate Internet company in China is
a critical part of our strategy. In addition to promoting the SouFun brand through our direct sales force, we also intend to continue to pursue other means to enhance brand awareness, including publication of real estate research
reports, event sponsorships, portal collaboration arrangements, and advertising and marketing activities. We cannot assure you that our efforts will be successful in maintaining or enhancing our brand awareness. If our brand enhancement strategy is
unsuccessful, or if other brands surpass our brand in market recognition in one or more cities in which we operate, we may fail to attract new or retain existing users, customers or qualified personnel, which could materially decrease our revenues
and profitability.

Loss of our right to use the SouFun brand name, or unauthorized use of our intellectual
property by third parties, and the expenses incurred in protecting our intellectual property rights, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and competitive advantage.

Our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, domain names and other intellectual property are important to our business.
Unauthorized use of such intellectual property, whether owned by us or licensed to us, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and competitive advantages. We rely on intellectual
property laws and contractual arrangements with our key employees and certain of our customers, collaborators and others to protect our intellectual property rights. The measures we take to protect our intellectual property rights may not be
adequate and policing the unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and expensive.

We have applied to
register in China the Chinese and English dual-language SouFun trademark as well as SouFun in English and 搜房 (SouFun in Chinese) individually. We have successfully registered such
trademarks in some industry categories, but our applications for certain other industry categories conflicts with existing registrations or applications for similar trademarks by another PRC company in such industry categories. We are in the process
of resolving these conflicting trademark applications, but we estimate that this process may take several years to complete. Determination of the title to a trademark is generally made on the basis of three elements: (i) who has first applied
for registration of the trademark in dispute; (ii) who has first used the trademark in dispute; and (iii) who has the reputation of using such trademark in the market. We believe that we first applied for and used the relevant trademarks,
and our use of such trademarks has been reputable in the market. However, unless and until we secure the trademark registrations for which we have applied, we may be unable to effectively enforce our proprietary rights in connection with such
trademarks or prevent the use by others of trademarks identical or similar to ours. Moreover, if the conflicting trademark applications are not resolved in our favor, we may be unable to use part or all of our current name or trademarks in our
business operations. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected if we lose the right to use the SouFun brand names, or if we are unable to prevent third parties from using our
trademarks, as we would not be able to leverage such brand names to develop our business and protect the brands reputation and would lose the benefits of brand awareness among Internet users in China.

In addition, the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property
in Internet-related industries in China is uncertain and still evolving, and could involve substantial risks. The laws and enforcement procedures in China are not yet well developed, and do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent
as laws and enforcement procedures in the United States and other jurisdictions. Furthermore, litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our
resources and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are unable to adequately protect the intellectual property rights that we own or use, we may lose these rights and our business,
growth prospects and profitability may suffer.

Regulation of the Internet industry in China, including censorship of
information distributed over the Internet, may materially and adversely affect our business.

China has enacted laws,
rules and regulations governing Internet access and the distribution of news, information or other content, as well as products and services, through the Internet. In the past, the PRC government has prohibited the distribution of information
through the Internet that it deems to be in violation of applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations. In particular, under regulations promulgated by the State Council, the MIIT, the General Administration of Press and Publication (formerly the State
Press and Publications Administration) and the Ministry of Culture, Internet content providers and Internet publishers are prohibited from posting or displaying content over the Internet that, among other things: (i) opposes the fundamental
principles of the PRC constitution; (ii) compromises state security, divulges state secrets, subverts state power or damages national unity; (iii) disseminates rumors, disturbs social order or disrupts social stability;
(iv) propagates obscenity, pornography, gambling, violence, murder or fear or incites the commission of crimes; or (v) insults or slanders a third party or infringes upon the lawful right of a third party.

If any Internet content we offer or will offer through our consolidated controlled entities were deemed by the PRC government to violate
any of such content restrictions, we would not be able to continue such offerings and could be subject to penalties, including confiscation of illegal revenues, fines, suspension of business and revocation of required licenses, which could have a
material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may also be subject to potential liability for any unlawful actions of our customers or affiliates or for content we distribute that is deemed inappropriate.
It may be difficult to determine the type of content that may result in liability to us, and if we are found to be liable, we may be forced to cease operation of our websites in China.

If any of our consolidated controlled entities fails to maintain the applicable licenses and approvals held by it under the complex
regulatory environment for Internet-based businesses and online advertising businesses in China, or any of our PRC subsidiaries or consolidated controlled entities fail to pass its annual government inspection or obtain renewal of its business
license, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

The
Internet and online advertising industries in China are still at a relatively early stage of development and are highly regulated by the PRC government. Various regulatory authorities of the PRC government, such as the State Council, MIIT, SAIC, the
General Administration of Press and Publication, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the Ministry of Public Security, are empowered to issue and implement regulations governing various aspects of the Internet and advertising
industries. Moreover, new laws, rules and regulations may be adopted, or new interpretations of existing laws, rules and regulations may be released, to address issues that arise from time to time. As a result, substantial uncertainties exist
regarding the interpretation and implementation of any current and future PRC laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Internet and online advertising industries.

Our consolidated controlled entities are required to obtain applicable licenses or approvals from various regulatory authorities in order to provide advertising and other value-added services and
products. These licenses or approvals are essential to the operation of our business and are generally subject to annual review by the relevant PRC governmental authorities. For example, each of Beijing Internet, Beijing Technology, Beijing JTX
Technology, Beijing China Index and Beijing Advertising currently holds an Internet content provider license, or ICP license, as required under the applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations; and each of Beijing Technology, Beijing JTX Technology,
Beijing China Index and Beijing Advertising currently holds an approval for operating electronic bulletin board services as required under the applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations. Beijing Advertising, Beijing Internet, Shanghai Advertising
and certain other consolidated controlled entities are allowed to provide marketing services in accordance with the business scope indicated in each of their respective business licenses.

##### Table of Contents

Some of our consolidated controlled entities, however, may be required to obtain additional
licenses. For example, since our websites include online residential communities that allow visitors to post information, including graphics or weblinks to videos, other websites or data in microblogs or online discussion forums, on our websites for
discussion with other users, the release of such information on our websites may be deemed as providing internet publication services and therefore require Internet publication licenses. Similarly, if we or third parties post information that may be
viewed as news information, the release of such information on our websites may be deemed as internet news information services and therefore require Internet news information licenses. We, like many other similarly-situated business operators, have
been operating our businesses without such licenses. Recently, certain of our relevant consolidated controlled entities have applied to the relevant government authorities for Internet publication licenses again in accordance with applicable PRC
laws, rules and regulations, and pursuant to the request by the relevant governmental authorities, we are now preparing the relevant supplementary materials for such application. In addition, we are still in discussion with the relevant government
authorities on our application for, and the authorities issuance of, Internet news information service licenses.

Under
the applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations, the failure to obtain and/or maintain an Internet publication license and/or Internet news information service license may subject the entity to various penalties, including confiscation of revenues,
imposition of fines and/or restrictions on their business operations, or the discontinuation of their operations. Although our relevant consolidated controlled entities have not received any revenues directly from Internet publication services or
Internet news information services, we cannot assure you that the PRC regulatory authorities will not impose any such penalties. Any such disruption in the business operations of our consolidated controlled entities could materially and adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Unexpected network interruptions or security
breaches, including hacking or computer virus attacks, may cause delays or interruptions of service, resulting in reduced use and performance of our websites and damage our reputation and brands.

Our business depends heavily on the performance and reliability of Chinas Internet infrastructure, the continued accessibility of
bandwidth and servers on our service providers networks and the continuing performance, reliability and availability of our technology platform. Any failure to maintain the satisfactory performance, reliability, security and availability of
our computer and hardware systems may cause significant harm to our reputation and our ability to attract and maintain customers and visitor traffic. Major risks related to our network infrastructure include:



| |  |  | any breakdown or system failure resulting in a sustained shutdown of our servers, including failures which may be attributable to sustained power
shutdowns, or efforts to gain unauthorized access to our systems causing loss or corruption of data or malfunctions of software or hardware;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any disruption or failure in the national backbone network, which would prevent our customers and users from accessing our websites;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any damage from fire, flood, earthquake and other natural disasters; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | computer viruses, hackings and similar events.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------

Computer viruses and hackings may cause delays or other service interruptions and could result in significant damage to our hardware, software systems and databases, disruptions to our business
activities, such as to our e-mail and other communication systems, breaches of security and inadvertent disclosure of confidential or sensitive information, inadvertent transmissions of computer viruses and interruptions of access to our websites
through the use of denial-of-service or similar attacks. In addition, the inadvertent transmission of computer viruses could expose us to a material risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. All of our servers and routers, including back-up
servers, are currently hosted by third-party service providers in Beijing and Shanghai and all information on our websites is backed up weekly. Any hacking, security breach or other system disruption or failure which occurs in between our weekly
backup procedures could disrupt our business or cause us to lose, and be unable to recover, data such as real estate listings, contact information and other important customer information.

We also do not maintain insurance policies covering losses relating to our systems and do
not have business interruption insurance. Moreover, the low coverage limits of our property insurance policies may not be adequate to compensate us for all losses, particularly with respect to any loss of business and reputation that may occur. To
improve our performance and to prevent disruption of our services, we may have to make substantial investments to deploy additional servers or create one or more copies of our websites to mirror our online resources, either of which could increase
our expenses and reduce our net income.

Breaches of security in connection with our websites could expose us to
potential liability and harm our reputation.

Ensuring secured transmission of confidential information through public
networks is essential to maintaining the confidence of our customers and users. Our existing security measures may not be adequate to protect such confidential information. In addition, computer and network systems are susceptible to breaches by
computer hackers. Security breaches could expose us to litigation and potential liability for failing to secure confidential customer information, and could harm our reputation and reduce our ability to attract customers and users. Any future
security breaches, if any, may result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The successful operation of our business depends upon the performance and reliability of the Internet infrastructure and telecommunications networks in China.

Our business depends on the performance and reliability of the Internet infrastructure in China. Substantially all access to the Internet
is maintained through state-controlled telecommunication operators under the administrative control and regulatory supervision of MIIT. In addition, the national networks in China are connected to the Internet through international gateways
controlled by the PRC government. These international gateways are generally the only channels through which a domestic user can connect to the Internet. We cannot assure you that a more sophisticated Internet infrastructure will be developed in
China. We may not have access to alternative networks in the event of disruptions, failures or other problems with Chinas Internet infrastructure. In addition, the Internet infrastructure in China may not support the demands associated with
continued growth in Internet usage.

We also rely on China Telecommunications Corporation, or China Telecom, and China United
Netcom (Hong Kong) Ltd, or China Unicom, to provide us with data communications capacity primarily through local telecommunications lines and Internet data centers to host our servers. We do not have access to alternative services in the event of
disruptions, failures or other problems with the fixed telecommunications networks of China Telecom and China Unicom, or if China Telecom or China Unicom otherwise fails to provide such services. Any unscheduled service interruption could disrupt
our operations, damage our reputation and result in a decrease in our revenues. Furthermore, we have no control over the costs of the services provided by China Telecom and China Unicom. If the prices that we pay for telecommunications and Internet
services rise significantly, our gross margins could be significantly reduced. In addition, if Internet access fees or other charges to Internet users increase, our user traffic may decrease, which in turn may cause our revenues to decline.

You should not rely on our quarterly operating results as an indication of our future performance because our quarterly
financial results are subject to fluctuations.

The real estate sector in China is characterized by seasonal
fluctuations, which may cause our revenues to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. The first quarter of each year generally contributes the smallest portion of our annual revenues due to reduced advertising and marketing activity of our
customers in the PRC real estate industry during and around the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday, which generally occurs in January or February of each year. Furthermore, as we are substantially dependent on sales of marketing and listing services,
our quarterly revenues and results of operations are likely to be affected by:



| |  |  | seasonality of the real estate market and real estate consumers purchasing patterns;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers for our marketing and listing services;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount and timing of our operating expenses and capital expenditures;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the adoption of new, or changes to existing, governmental regulations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a shortfall in our revenues relative to our forecasts and a decline in our operating results; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | economic conditions in general and specific to the real estate industry and to China.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These factors are difficult to discern in our historical results since our revenues have grown rapidly in recent years. As a result, you
should not rely on our quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations as indicators of likely future performance.

Failure to continue to develop and expand our content, service offerings and features, and to develop or incorporate the
technologies that support them, could jeopardize our competitive position.

As an Internet portal company, we
participate in an industry characterized by rapidly changing technology and new products and services. To remain competitive, we must continue to develop and expand our content and service offerings. We must also continue to enhance and improve the
user interface, functionality and features of our websites. These efforts may require us to develop internally, or to license, increasingly complex technologies. In addition, many of our competitors are continually introducing new Internet-related
products, services and technologies, which will require us to update or modify our own technology to keep pace. Developing and integrating new products, services and technologies into our existing businesses could be expensive and time-consuming.
Furthermore, such new features, functions and services may not achieve market acceptance or serve to enhance our brand loyalty. We may not succeed in incorporating new Internet technologies, or, in order to do so, we may incur substantial expenses.
If we fail to develop and introduce or acquire new features, functions, services or technologies effectively and on a timely basis, we may not continue to attract new users and may be unable to retain our existing users, which could affect our
marketability as a popular advertising and listing media. If we are not successful in incorporating new Internet technologies, our future profitability and growth could be materially and adversely affected.

Our revenues and profitability could suffer if we are unable to successfully implement our growth strategies or manage our growth
effectively.

We intend to grow our business by rolling out our full suite of services, including marketing and
listing services for our new home, secondary and rental properties and home furnishing and improvement businesses, to more cities across China where we currently offer primarily real estate and home furnishing and improvement content coverage
through our localized website portals. We also plan to expand into new geographic areas and sectors. However, some of our growth strategies relate to new services and technologies for which there are no established markets in China or relate to
services, technologies, new geographic markets or new businesses in which we have limited or no experience. Moreover, due to the breadth and diversity of the PRC real estate market, our business model may not be successful in new and untested
markets as demand and preferences may vary significantly by region. As a result, we may not be able to leverage our experience to expand into other parts of China or to enter into businesses with respect to new products or services. We cannot assure
you that we will be able to successfully grow our secondary and rental property and home furnishing and improvement businesses in our existing cities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to enter new geographic markets or deliver new
services and technologies on a commercially viable basis or in a timely manner, or at all. If we are unable to successfully implement our growth strategies, our revenues and profitability may not grow as we expect, and our competitiveness may be
materially and adversely affected.

Increases in the volume of our website traffic as a result of our expansion into new
geographic regions could also strain the capacity of our existing computer systems, which could lead to slower response times or system failures. This would cause the number of real estate search inquiries, advertising impressions, other revenue
producing offerings and our informational offerings to decline, any of which could significantly reduce our revenue growth and our brand loyalty. We may need to incur additional costs to upgrade our computer systems in order to accommodate increased
demand if our systems cannot handle current or higher volumes of traffic. Mismanagement of any of our services in new or existing markets or the deterioration of the quality of our services could significantly damage our brand names and reputation
and adversely impact our ability to attract and retain customers and visitor traffic.

Our growth plans place a significant demand on our management, systems and other resources.
In addition to training and managing a growing workforce, we will need to continue to develop and improve our financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. We cannot assure you that we will be able to efficiently or
effectively manage the growth of our operations, and any failure to do so may limit our future growth and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The members of our senior management team, in particular, Mr. Vincent Tianquan Mo (Mr. Mo), our founding
shareholder, director and executive chairman, have played an important role in the growth and development of our business, and if we are unable to continue to retain their services, our business, financial condition and results of operations could
be materially and adversely affected.

Our future success is significantly dependent upon the continued services of
our senior management. In particular, Mr. Mo has played an important role in the growth and development of our business. To date, we have relied heavily on the expertise and experience of Mr. Mo and other senior management personnel in our
business operations, including their extensive knowledge of the PRC real estate market, their strong reputation in the PRC real estate industry, and their relationships with our employees, relevant regulatory authorities and many of our customers.
If Mr. Mo or other senior management personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to locate suitable or qualified replacements and may incur additional expenses to identify their successors. In
addition, if Mr. Mo or other senior management personnel joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose our customers, and our collaboration arrangements may be disrupted, which would have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not maintain key-man insurance for Mr. Mo or other senior management personnel.

Failure to attract and retain qualified personnel could jeopardize our competitive position.

As our industry is characterized by high demand and intense competition for talent, we may need to offer higher compensation and other benefits in order to attract and retain quality sales, technical and
other operational personnel in the future. We have from time to time in the past experienced, and we expect in the future to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications. We
cannot assure you we will be able to attract or retain the quality personnel that we need to achieve our business objectives. If we fail to successfully attract new personnel or retain and motivate our current personnel, we may lose competitiveness
and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We may be
subject to intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claims by third parties, which may force us to incur substantial legal expenses and, if determined adversely against us, could materially disrupt our business.

We cannot be certain that our services and information provided on our websites do not or will not infringe patents, copyrights or other
intellectual property rights held by third parties. From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims alleging infringement of patents, trademarks or copyrights, or misappropriation of creative ideas or formats, or other
infringement of proprietary intellectual property rights.

In particular, if our current applications for registering our trademarks in certain
relevant industry categories are unsuccessful and we continue to use such trademarks after these or similar trademarks have been registered by another entity, or if a holder of any registered trademark similar to ours claims that we are infringing
its trademark rights, we could potentially be subject to civil liability for damages and faces fines, penalties or other sanctions, including forfeiture of profits earned from illegal use of the trademark. See Loss of our right to use
the SouFun brand name, or unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties, and the expenses incurred in protecting our intellectual property rights, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition,
results of operations, reputation and competitive advantage. In addition, Beijing China Index was fined RMB10,000 in 2008 by the local branch of SAIC in connection with the use of the trade name China Index Research Institution for
providing consulting services on our websites. Moreover, we have previously been involved in disputes arising from alleged infringement of third parties copyrights on our websites, such as the use of photos or articles to which we did not have
the rights, which led to judgments against us. We could be subject to similar claims, suits or judgments in the future if we post information to which we do not have the rights. Any such claims, regardless of merit, may involve us in time-consuming
and costly litigation or investigation and divert significant management and staff resources. If we are found to have violated the intellectual property rights of others, we may be enjoined from using such intellectual property and may also be
ordered to pay fines or monetary damages. As a result, we would be required to enter into expensive royalty or licensing arrangements or to develop alternative technologies, business methods, content or other intellectual property. We expect that
the likelihood of such claims may increase as the number of competitors in our markets grows and as related patents and trademarks are registered and copyrights are obtained by such competitors. In addition, as we have expanded, and may continue to
expand, our business into new geographical markets, we may be exposed to such claims in jurisdictions other than China and the scope of intellectual property protection in these overseas jurisdictions may be different from or greater than that in
China. The intellectual property laws in overseas jurisdictions may also impose more stringent compliance requirements and cause more potential damages or penalties than those in China. Such claims in overseas jurisdictions, if successful, could
require us to pay significant compensatory and punitive damage awards as well as expose us to costly and time-consuming litigation or investigations, all of which could materially disrupt our business and have a material adverse effect on our growth
and profitability.

We are exposed to potential liability for information on our websites and for products and services
sold over the Internet and we may incur significant costs and damage to our reputation as a result of defending against such potential liability.

We provide third-party content on our websites such as real estate listings, links to third-party websites, advertisements and content provided by customers and users of our community-oriented services.
We could be exposed to liability with respect to such third-party information. Among other things, we may face assertions that, by directly or indirectly providing such third-party content or links to other websites, we should be liable for
defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, or other actions by parties providing such content or operating those websites. We may also face assertions that content on our websites, including statistics or other data we compile
internally, or information contained in websites linked to our websites contains false information, errors or omissions, and users and our customers could seek damages for losses incurred as a result of their reliance upon or otherwise relating to
incorrect information. We may also be subject to fines and other sanctions by the government for such incorrect information. In addition, our websites could be used as a platform for fraudulent transactions. The measures we take to guard against
liability for third-party content or information may not be adequate to exonerate us from relevant civil and other liabilities.

Any such claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming to defend and result in litigation and significant diversion of
managements attention and resources. Even if these claims do not result in liability to us, we could incur significant costs in investigating and defending against these claims and suffer damage to our reputation. Our general liability
insurance may not cover all potential claims to which we are exposed to and may not be adequate to indemnify us for all liability that may be imposed.

Potential acquisitions, which form part of our strategy, may disrupt our ability to manage our business effectively, including our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses into our
existing operations.

Potential acquisitions form part of our strategy to further expand our business. Future
acquisitions and the subsequent integration of new companies or businesses will require significant attention from our management, in particular to ensure that the acquisition does not disrupt any existing collaborations, or affect our users
opinion and perception of our services and customer support. In addition, our management will need to ensure that the acquired business is effectively integrated into our existing operations. The diversion of our managements attention and any
difficulties encountered in integration could have a material adverse effect on our ability to manage our business. In addition, future acquisitions could expose us to potential risks, including:



| |  |  | risks associated with the assimilation of new operations, services, technologies and personnel;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | unforeseen or hidden liabilities;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | the diversion of resources from our existing businesses and technologies;

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may be
unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, which could result in harm to our business, loss of investor confidence in our financial reporting and a lower trading price of our ADSs.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide accurate and timely financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. We
discovered in the past, and may in the future discover, areas of our internal controls involving deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses that have required or will require improvements in our procedures on the preparation,
review, approval and disclosure of financial reports.

Our management has concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting is effective. See Item 15. Control and Procedures. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on our managements assessment of our internal control over financial report and has
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. A number of our internal control measures were implemented or strengthened recently. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue to implement effectively
these or other new or improved controls or that our management or our independent registered public accounting firm will determine that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in the
future.

A lack of effective internal control over financial reporting in the future could result in the loss of investor
confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and negatively impact the trading price of our ADSs. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from
time to time, we may not be able to provide accurate financial statements, which could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or provide accurate financial statements, and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial
information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our ADSs.

Certain of our leased property interests may
be defective and we may be forced to relocate operations affected by such defects, which could cause significant disruption to our business.

As of December 31, 2011, we had 103 leased properties in China in addition to our principal executive offices in Beijing, China. A number of these leased properties, all of which were used as
offices, contained defects in the leasehold interests. Such defects included the lack of proper title or right to lease and the landlords failure to duly register the lease with the relevant PRC government authority.

According to PRC laws, rules and regulations, in situations where a tenant lacks evidence of the landlords title or right to lease,
the relevant lease agreement may not be valid or enforceable under PRC laws, rules and regulations, and may also be subject to challenge by third parties. In addition, according to PRC laws, rules and regulations, the failure to register the lease
agreement will not affect its effectiveness between the tenant and the landlord, however, such lease agreement may be subject to challenge by and unenforceable against a third party who leases the same property from the landlord and has duly
registered the lease with the competent PRC government authority. Furthermore, the landlord and the tenant may be subject to administrative fines for such failure to register the lease.

We have taken steps to cause our landlords to procure valid evidence as to the title or right to lease, as well as to complete the lease
registration procedures. However, we cannot assure you that such defects will be cured in a timely manner or at all. Our business may be interrupted and additional relocation costs may be incurred if we are required to relocate operations affected
by such defects. Moreover, if our lease agreements are challenged by third parties, it could result in diversion of management attention and cause us to incur costs associated with defending such actions, even if such challenges are ultimately
determined in our favor.

We have limited business insurance coverage in China.

The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development and PRC insurance companies offer only limited business
insurance products. As a result, we do not have any business disruption insurance or litigation insurance coverage for our operations in China. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster may cause us to incur substantial costs and
result in the diversion of our resources, as well as significantly disrupt our operations, and have a material adverse affect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Our Corporate Structure

If the PRC government determines that the Structure Contracts that establish the structure for our business operations do not comply
with applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to restructure our ownership structure.

As we are a Cayman Islands company and our PRC subsidiaries and their branch companies in China are treated as foreign-invested enterprises under applicable PRC laws, we are subject to ownership
limitations as well as special approval requirements on foreign investment. Specifically, foreign entities are not allowed to own more than a 50% equity interest in any PRC company operating an ICP business and are only allowed to directly own 100%
of the equity interest of a PRC company operating an advertising business if such foreign entity has at least three years of direct experience operating an advertising business outside China, or less than 100% of the equity interest in the
advertising business if the foreign investor has at least two years of direct experience operating an advertising business outside China. Currently, we do not directly operate an advertising business outside China and cannot qualify under PRC laws,
rules and regulations to invest directly in a PRC entity that provides advertising services in China and our PRC foreign-invested subsidiaries may be prohibited from providing advertising services.

To comply with applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations, we conduct our operations in China through a series of contractual
arrangements entered into among three of our PRC subsidiaries, SouFun Media, SouFun Network and Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng, our 12 consolidated controlled entities, and their respective shareholders, which consist of exclusive technical consultancy
and service agreements, equity pledge agreements, operating agreements, shareholders proxy agreements, loan agreements, exclusive call option agreements, and intra-group memoranda of understanding. See Item 7. Major Shareholders and
Related Party Transactions Related Party TransactionsStructure Contracts. As a result of these contractual arrangements, we exercise the ability to control the consolidated controlled entities through our rights to all the residual
benefits of the consolidated controlled entities and our obligation to fund the losses of the consolidated controlled entities. Accordingly, we consolidate their results in our financial statements. Our consolidated controlled entities hold the
licenses and approvals that are essential to the operation of our Internet content distribution and advertising businesses. As certain agreements with our customers for Internet content distribution and advertising services were entered into
directly with our PRC subsidiaries and not our consolidated controlled entities, there can be no assurance that the PRC government will not deem our Internet content distribution and advertising business to be in violation of applicable PRC laws,
rules and regulations.

On July 13, 2006, MIIT publicly released the Notice on Strengthening the Administration of
Foreign Investment in Operating Value-Added Telecommunications Business, or the MIIT Notice, which reiterates certain provisions under Chinas Administrative Rules on Foreign-Invested Telecommunications Enterprises prohibiting, among others,
the renting, transferring or sale of a telecommunications license to foreign investors in any form. Under the MIIT Notice, holders of valued-added telecommunications business operating licenses, or their shareholders, must also directly own the
domain names and trademarks used by such license holders in their daily operations. To comply with this requirement under the MIIT Notice, we terminated the trademark license agreements and domain name license agreements between Beijing Advertising
and us as well as those between Beijing Internet and us in August 2006, we have assigned all registered trademarks, trademark applications and domain names relating to SouFun and Jia Tian Xia to the relevant consolidated
controlled entities in order to maintain their respective ICP licenses to operate as value-added telecommunication service providers. Since there is currently no official interpretation or implementation practice under the MIIT Notice, it remains
uncertain how the MIIT Notice will be enforced and whether or to what extent the MIIT Notice may affect the legality of the corporate structures and contractual arrangements adopted by foreign-invested Internet companies, such as ours, that operate
in China. See Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party TransactionsRelated Party Transactions.

If
the past or current ownership structures, Structure Contracts and businesses of our Company, our PRC subsidiaries and our consolidated controlled entities are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws, rules or regulations, MIIT
and other relevant PRC regulatory authorities would have broad discretion in dealing with such violations, including:



| |  |  | revoking the business and operating licenses of our PRC subsidiaries or consolidated controlled entities, whose business and operating licenses are
essential to the operation of our business;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We cannot assure you that the relevant PRC regulatory authorities will not require that we restructure our Structure Contracts to comply
with the MIIT Notice or that we can restructure our ownership structure without material disruption to our business. In addition, new PRC laws, rules and regulations may be introduced to impose additional requirements that may be applicable to our
corporate structure and contractual arrangements. The imposition of any of these penalties and the effect of any new PRC laws, rules and regulations applicable to our corporate structure and contractual arrangements could materially disrupt our
ability to conduct our business and have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may lose the ability to utilize assets held by our consolidated controlled entities that are important to the operation of our
business if any of these entities goes bankrupt or becomes subject to a dissolution or liquidation proceeding.

Our
wholly-owned subsidiaries, SouFun Media, SouFun Network and Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng, are considered foreign-invested enterprises in China and are, therefore, not permitted under PRC law to hold the ICP licenses and to operate the advertising
businesses that are critical to our operations. As a result, our consolidated controlled entities are the holders of the ICP licenses required for operating our websites and our advertising business in China. We do not have any direct or indirect
shareholding interests in these consolidated controlled entities. They are instead held directly or indirectly by Mr. Mo, our founder and executive chairman, and Richard Jiangong Dai (Mr. Dai), the president, chief executive
officer and a director of our Company. Mr. Dai is a nephew of Mr. Mo. Both Mr. Mo and Mr. Dai are PRC citizens. Through the Structure Contracts, we exercise management, financial and voting control over these consolidated
controlled entities through our rights to all the residual benefits of the consolidated controlled entities and our obligation to fund losses of the consolidated controlled entities and also have a contractual right, to the extent permitted by PRC
laws, rules and regulations, to acquire the equity interests in these entities. Consequently, if any of these consolidated controlled entities goes bankrupt and all or part of its assets become subject to liens or rights of third-party creditors, we
may be unable to continue some or all of our business activities, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of our consolidated controlled entities undergoes a voluntary or
involuntary liquidation proceeding, the shareholders or unrelated third-party creditors may claim rights to some or all of these assets, thereby hindering our ability to operate our business, which could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Contractual or other arrangements among our affiliates may be subject to
scrutiny by PRC tax authorities, and a finding that we or our affiliates owe additional taxes could substantially reduce our profitability and the value of your investment.

As a result of the Structure Contracts, we are entitled to substantially all of the economic benefits of ownership of the consolidated
controlled entities and also bear substantially all of the economic risks associated with consolidated controlled entities. If the PRC tax authorities determine that the economic terms, including pricing, of our arrangements with our consolidated
controlled entities were not determined on an arms length basis, we could be subject to significant additional tax liabilities. In particular, the PRC tax authorities may perform a transfer pricing adjustment, which could result in a
reduction, for PRC tax purposes, of deductions recorded by our consolidated controlled entities. Such a reduction could increase the tax liabilities of our consolidated controlled entities without reducing the tax liabilities of our PRC
subsidiaries. This increased tax liability could further result in late payment fees and other penalties to our consolidated controlled entities for underpaid taxes. Any of these events could materially reduce our net income.

Contractual arrangements, including voting proxies, with our consolidated controlled
entities for our Internet content distribution and marketing businesses may not be as effective in providing operational control as direct or indirect ownership.

Since the applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations restrict foreign ownership in the Internet content distribution and marketing businesses, we conduct our Internet content distribution and advertising
businesses and derive related revenues through the Structure Contracts with our consolidated controlled entities. As we have no direct or indirect ownership interest in our consolidated controlled entities, these Structure Contracts, including the
voting proxies granted to us, may not be as effective in providing us with control over these companies as direct or indirect ownership. If we were the controlling shareholders of these companies with direct or indirect ownership, we would be able
to exercise our rights as shareholders to effect changes in the board of directors, which in turn could effect change, subject to any applicable fiduciary obligations, at the management level. However, pursuant to the Structure Contracts, if any of
our consolidated controlled entities or their shareholders fail to perform their obligations under these contractual arrangements, we may be forced to (i) incur substantial costs and resources to enforce such arrangements, including the voting
proxies, and (ii) rely on legal remedies available under PRC law, including exercising our call option right over the equity interests in our consolidated controlled entities, seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming
monetary damages. In addition, pursuant to these Structure Contracts, if Mr. Mo or Mr. Dai were to terminate their employment with us, they would be obligated to transfer their respective share ownership in any of our consolidated
controlled entities to us or our designee. If Mr. Mo or Mr. Dai were to refuse to effect such a transfer, or if they were otherwise to act in bad faith toward us, then we may have to take legal action to compel them to fulfill their
contractual obligations. In the event that we are unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, or if we experience significant time delays or other obstacles in the process of enforcing these contractual arrangements, our business, financial
condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We are controlled by our significant
shareholders and their affiliated entities, whose interests may differ from our other shareholders.

As of
December 31, 2011, Media Partner Technology Limited, or Media Partner, and Next Decade Investments Limited, or Next Decade, whose shares are held in an irrevocable discretionary trust established by Mr. Mo, together hold approximately
28.5% of our outstanding share capital and approximately 72.9% of our voting power under our dual-class ordinary share structure, and are our largest shareholders. In addition, Next Decade has also entered into call option agreements with two other
principal shareholders of our Company, General Atlantic Mauritius Limited, or General Atlantic, and Apax Partners LLP and its affiliated entitles, or Apax, pursuant to which Next Decade has the option to purchase 987,656 Class A ordinary shares
from each of them at any time during the two-year period after the closing of our initial public offering. As of December 31, 2011, General Atlantic and Apax each hold approximately 19.6% of our outstanding share capital and approximately 5.2%
of our voting power. Media Partner and Next Decade together, as our largest shareholders, could exert substantial influence over the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers,
consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. This concentration of ownership may also discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our Company, which could
deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our Company and might reduce the price of our ADSs. These actions may be taken even if they are opposed by our other shareholders, including the
investors in the ADSs.

The continuing cooperation of our significant shareholders on an on-going basis, including Media
Partner and Next Decade, is important to our businesses. Without their consent or cooperation, we could be prevented from entering into transactions or conducting business that could be beneficial to us. We cannot assure you, however, that the
interests of our significant shareholders would not differ from the interests of our other shareholders, including investors in the ADSs.

Risks Relating to Doing Business in China

Chinas economic, political and social conditions, as well as government policies, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business and operations are primarily conducted in
China. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations have been, and are expected to continue to be, affected by the economic, political and social developments in relation to the Internet, online marketing and real estate industries
in China. A slowdown of economic growth in China could reduce the sale of real estate and related products and services, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including: a higher level of government
involvement; the on-going development of a market-oriented economy; a rapid growth rate; a higher level of control over foreign exchange; and a less efficient allocation of resources.

While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth since the late 1970s, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among
various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. These measures are intended to benefit the overall PRC economy, but may also have a negative
effect on us. For example, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by PRC government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us.

The PRC economy has been transitioning from a centrally-planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although the PRC government
has implemented measures since the late 1970s which emphasize the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The PRC
government also exercises significant control over Chinas economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to
particular industries or companies.

The discontinuation of any of the preferential tax treatments currently available
to us in China could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations

Prior to
January 1, 2008, our PRC subsidiaries were governed by the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law Concerning Foreign-Invested Enterprises and Foreign Enterprises, or the Old EIT Law, and generally subject to enterprise income taxes at a statutory rate
of 33.0%, which consists of a 30.0% national income tax and 3.0% local income tax. Some of our subsidiaries were qualified for preferential tax treatment under the Old EIT Law.

In March 2007, the National Peoples Congress of China enacted the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the New EIT Law, which
became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, all foreign-invested enterprises and domestic enterprises, including our subsidiaries and consolidated controlled entities, are subject to enterprise income tax at a uniform rate of
25.0% if no preferential tax policy is applicable. The New EIT Law also provided for a transition period commencing January 1, 2008 for those enterprises which were established before the promulgation of the New EIT Law and were entitled to
preferential tax treatment such as a reduced tax rate or a tax holiday. Based on the transitional rule, foreign-invested enterprises located in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Shanghai Zhangjiang High Technology Park, such as SouFun Shenzhen and
SouFun Shanghai, which previously enjoyed a preferential tax rate of 15.0%, are eligible for a five-year transition period during which the income tax rate will be gradually increased to the unified rate of 25.0%. The applicable rates for SouFun
Shenzhen and SouFun Shanghai are 18.0%, 20.0%, 22.0% and 24.0% in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, and 25.0% in 2012 and onward. As a result of these changes in tax rates, our profitability, net income and earnings per share may be affected
by the increase in the enterprise income tax rate.

##### Table of Contents

In April 2008, the relevant PRC governmental authorities released qualification
criteria and application and assessment procedures for high and new technology enterprises, which would be entitled to a statutory tax rate of 15.0%. Currently, five of our PRC subsidiaries or consolidated controlled entities are
qualified as high and new technology enterprises. We cannot assure you that our PRC subsidiaries or consolidated controlled entities will continue to be entitled to preferential tax rates as qualified high and new technology
enterprises under the New EIT Law. We also cannot assure you that the tax authorities will not, in the future, discontinue any of our preferential tax treatments, potentially with retroactive effect. In the event that preferential tax
treatment for any of our subsidiaries or consolidated controlled entities is discontinued, the affected entity will become subject to a 25.0% standard enterprise income tax rate, which would increase our income tax expenses and could materially
reduce our net income and profitability. See also Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsA. Operating ResultsResults of OperationsTaxationPRC Income Tax.

We may be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes under the New EIT Law and therefore be subject to PRC taxation on
our worldwide income.

We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Under the New EIT Law and its
implementation rules, an enterprise incorporated in a foreign country or region may be classified as either a non-resident enterprise or a resident enterprise. If any enterprise incorporated in a foreign country or region has
its de facto management bodies located within the PRC territory, such enterprise will be considered a PRC tax resident enterprise and thus will normally be subject to enterprise income tax at the rate of 25.0% on its worldwide income.
The relevant implementing rules provide that de facto management bodies means the bodies which exercise substantial and overall management and control over the manufacturing and business operation, personnel, accounting, properties and
other factors of an enterprise. In April 2009, SAT issued a Notice Regarding the Determination of Chinese-Controlled Offshore-Incorporated Enterprises as PRC Tax Resident Enterprises on the Basis of De Facto Management Bodies, or Circular 82,
which sets forth certain specific criteria for determining whether the de facto management body of a Chinese-controlled offshore-incorporated enterprise is located in China. However, Circular 82 only applies to offshore enterprises
controlled by PRC enterprises and not those controlled by PRC individuals or foreigners in China, such as our Company. See Item 10. Additional InformationTaxationRegulation of Foreign Exchange, Taxation and Dividend
DistributionTaxation and Dividend Distribution. Substantially all of the members of our management are currently located in China and we expect them to continue to be located in China. Due to the lack of clear guidance on the criteria
pursuant to which the PRC tax authorities will determine our tax residency under the New EIT Law, it remains unclear whether the PRC tax authorities will treat us as a PRC resident enterprise. As a result, Jingtian & Gongcheng, our PRC
legal counsel, is unable to express an opinion as to the likelihood that we will be subject to the tax applicable to resident enterprises or non-resident enterprises under the New EIT Law. If we are deemed to be a PRC tax resident enterprise, we
will be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25.0% on our worldwide income. The New EIT Law provides that dividend income between qualified resident enterprises is exempt income, which the implementing rules have clarified to mean a dividend
derived by a resident enterprise on equity interest it directly owns in another resident enterprise. It is possible, therefore, that dividends we receive through our offshore subsidiaries from our PRC subsidiaries, would be exempt income under the
New EIT Law and its implementing rules if our offshore subsidiaries are deemed to be a resident enterprise. If we are deemed to be a PRC tax resident enterprise, we would then be obliged to withhold PRC withholding income tax on the
gross amount of dividends we pay to shareholders who are non-PRC tax residents. The withholding income tax rate is 10.0%, unless otherwise provided under the applicable double tax treaties between China and the governments of other jurisdictions. If
the PRC tax authority determines that we and our offshore subsidiaries, such as Bravo Work and China Index Academy, are PRC resident enterprises, we and such subsidiaries may be subject to enterprise income tax at the rate of 25.0% as to our global
income, which could have an impact on our effective tax rate and an adverse effect on our net income and results of operations.

We rely primarily on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries, and any limitation on the ability of our
subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business as well as our liquidity.

As a holding company, we rely primarily on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements, which include funds necessary to pay dividends and
other cash distributions to our shareholders, service any debt we may incur and to pay our operating expenses. If our subsidiaries incur debt in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other
distributions to us.

##### Table of Contents

Our subsidiaries are entities incorporated and established in China and therefore, are
subject to certain limitations with respect to dividend payments. PRC regulations currently allow payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits determined in accordance with accounting standards and regulations in China. Each year, our
subsidiaries in China and our consolidated controlled entities are required to allocate a portion of their after-tax profits to their respective reserve funds, until the reserves reach 50.0% of their respective registered capital. Allocations to
these reserves and funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferable to us in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends. Such restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries and consolidated controlled entities to transfer
funds to us could adversely limit our ability to grow, pay dividends, make investments or acquisitions that could benefit our businesses or otherwise fund and conduct our businesses.

Under the relevant PRC tax law applicable to us prior to January 1, 2008, dividend payments to foreign investors made by
foreign-invested enterprises were exempted from PRC withholding tax. However, under the New EIT Law and its implementing rules, non-resident enterprises without an establishment in China, or whose income has no connection with their institutions and
establishment inside China, are subject to withholding tax at the rate of 10.0% with respect to their PRC-sourced dividend income, subject to applicable tax agreements or treaties between the PRC and other tax jurisdictions. Similarly, any gains
realized on the transfer of shares by such investors are also subject to a 10.0% PRC income tax if such gains are regarded as income from sources within China.

According to the Mainland and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Arrangement on the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income, or the Avoidance
of Double Taxation Arrangement, dividends derived by a Hong Kong resident enterprise from a PRC resident enterprise should be subject to withholding tax at the rate of 5.0%, provided that such Hong Kong resident enterprise directly owns at least
25.0% of the equity interest in the PRC resident enterprise. However, under the New EIT Law and its implementation rules, as well as Circular No. 601 issued by SAT in October 2009, or Circular 601, dividends from our PRC subsidiaries paid
to us through our Hong Kong subsidiaries may be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 10.0% if our Hong Kong subsidiaries cannot be considered as a beneficial owner.

We hold equity interests in several of our major PRC subsidiaries indirectly through subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong, including
primarily Bravo Work, China Index Academy and China Home Holdings (HK) Limited. Neither we nor Jingtian & Gongcheng, our PRC legal counsel, is certain as to whether it is more likely than not that PRC tax authorities would require or permit
Bravo Work, China Index Academy and China Home Holdings (HK) Limited to be treated as PRC resident enterprises. To the extent that Bravo Work, China Index Academy and China Home Holdings (HK) Limited are each considered a non-resident
enterprise under the Avoidance of Double Taxation Arrangement, dividends derived by Bravo Work, China Index Academy and China Home Holdings (HK) Limited from our PRC subsidiaries may be subject to a maximum withholding tax rate of 10.0%. See
Item 10. Additional InformationTaxationRegulation of Foreign Exchange, Taxation and Dividend DistributionTaxation and Dividend Distribution.

The discontinuation of the previously available exemption from withholding tax as a result of the New EIT Law and its implementing rules have and will increase our income tax expenses and reduce our net
income, and may materially reduce our profitability.

SouFun Media, SouFun Network, Beijing Zhong Zhi Shi Zheng and the
relevant consolidated controlled entities may be subject to fines and legal or administrative sanctions in connection with dividend distributions we made between December 2007 and June 2009.

On December 12, 2007, our then board of directors adopted resolutions to declare dividends in the aggregate of RMB350.0 million to
our shareholders. Our then existing shareholders subsequently agreed to reduce the amount of the dividends to RMB300.0 million. On February 20, 2009, our then board of directors adopted resolutions to declare additional dividends in the
aggregate of RMB300.0 million to our shareholders. Following these resolutions, between December 2007 and June 2009, we directed our wholly-owned subsidiaries, SouFun Media and SouFun Network, and the entities controlled by SouFun Media and SouFun
Network, including our indirect subsidiary Beijing Zhong Zhi Shi Zheng and consolidated controlled entities such as Beijing Internet, Beijing Technology, Beijing China Index, Beijing Advertising and Beijing JTX Technology, to pay an aggregate of
RMB300.2 million in dividends payable by us to accounts in China designated by our then existing shareholders for the receipt of such dividend payments. The RMB 300.2 million dividend payments were recorded on SouFun Medias and SouFun
Networks accounts as other receivables due from us and are deemed as non-interest bearing loans from SouFun Media or SouFun Network to us, which are treated in China as loans to an overseas borrower. The dividend payments paid through Beijing
Zhong Zhi Shi Zheng or the relevant consolidated controlled entities were recorded on SouFun Medias and SouFun Networks accounts as other payables to Beijing Zhong Zhi Shi Zheng and such consolidated controlled entities, which are
treated in China as loans from domestic lenders.

##### Table of Contents

Pursuant to the General Lending Code implemented in August 1996 by the Peoples
Bank of China, or PBOC, the central bank of China, commercial lending in China must be made by or through a PRC-qualified financial institution as defined under the General Lending Code. As none of the payors is or was at the relevant
time a PRC-qualified financial institution as defined under the General Lending Code, PBOC may impose a fine for non-compliance on each of the payors in an amount equal to one to five times the value of any income received from its
non-compliance, and the payors may be required to terminate such loans. If PBOC instructs these entities to terminate such overseas loans and domestic loans, we have to fully repay the overseas loans from SouFun Media and SouFun Network, and SouFun
Media and SouFun Network have to fully repay the domestic loans to Beijing Zhong Zhi Shi Zheng and the relevant consolidated controlled entities.

Moreover, pursuant to the PRC Foreign Currency Administration Regulations promulgated by the State Council in January 1996, as amended, a PRC entity is required to apply for SAFE approval prior to
extending commercial loans to offshore entities such as our Company. As there is no specific definition of commercial loans under the Foreign Currency Administration Regulations and PRC governmental authorities have not issued any
implementation rules with respect to the provision of commercial loans to offshore entities. Accordingly, it is not clear whether such provision will be applied to the non-interest bearing loans described above. Under the Foreign Currency
Administration Regulations, an entity may be required to correct the violation and be subject to a warning and/or a fine for the violation of the foreign registration administrative regulations. If SAFE determines that the PRC Foreign Currency
Administration Regulations do apply to us, it may require SouFun Media and SouFun Network to register the overseas loans to us and require us to rectify any prior non-compliance by properly obtaining SAFE approval. SAFE may also impose a warning
and/or fine based on the PRC Foreign Currency Administration Regulations. We cannot assure you that SouFun Media and SouFun Network will be able to complete the necessary registration and filing procedures required by the PRC Foreign Currency
Administration Regulations. In addition, it is not clear whether SAFE may consider the making of payments in Renminbi which should have been made in foreign currency to be foreign currency arbitrage, which may be deemed a violation and may subject a
violator to warnings, penalties or other sanctions. Due to a general uncertainty over the interpretation and implementation of the PRC Foreign Currency Administration Regulations as well as the broad enforcement discretion granted to SAFE, we cannot
ensure that we, SouFun Media or SouFun Network will not be subject to such warnings, penalties or other administrative penalties resulting from the overseas loans.

According to the New EIT Law, loan arrangements between related parties without interest are not considered arms-length transactions. Therefore, the PRC taxation authorities could impose enterprise income
and business taxes on SouFun Media, SouFun Network, Beijing Zhong Zhi Shi Zheng and the relevant consolidated controlled entities for the deemed interest income with regard to the arrangements for the overseas and domestic loans. The deemed interest
rate would be determined by reference to the lending rate over the relevant period published by PBOC. We cannot assure you that we will not be subject to fines, or legal or administrative sanctions as a result of non-compliance with the General
Lending Code and the Foreign Currency Administration Regulations. Further, we cannot assure you that the PRC taxation authorities will not impose enterprise income and business taxes on SouFun Media, SouFun Network, Beijing Zhong Zhi Shi Zheng and
the relevant variable interest entities for any deemed interest income with respect to these loans. Because the applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not provide clear definitions for several key terms and because the relevant PRC regulatory
authorities have significant discretion on the interpretation of such matters, we cannot predict the likelihood that the risks described here will materialize.

The PRC legal system embodies uncertainties, which could limit the legal protections available to you and us.

In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past 30 years has
significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in China. Our PRC operating subsidiaries include several wholly-foreign-owned enterprises, including primarily SouFun Media, SouFun Network and Beijing Hong An Tu
Sheng. These PRC subsidiaries are subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign-invested enterprises in China. In particular, they are subject to PRC laws, rules and regulations governing foreign companies ownership and operation of
Internet content distribution and advertising businesses as well as of the real estate sector. Such laws and regulations are subject to change, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties, which could limit the legal protections
available to us and our investors. In addition, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the PRC legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement of such laws, or the
preemption of local regulations by PRC laws, rules and regulations.

Moreover, China has a civil law system based on written statutes, which, unlike common law
systems, is a system in which decided judicial cases have little precedential value. Furthermore, interpretation of statutes and regulations may be subject to government policies reflecting domestic political changes. The relative inexperience of
Chinas judiciary in many cases creates additional uncertainty as to the outcome of litigation. In addition, enforcement of existing laws or contracts based on existing laws may be uncertain and sporadic, and it may be difficult to obtain swift
and equitable enforcement within China. All such uncertainties could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Government control of currency conversion may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively.

Substantially all of our revenues and operating expenses are denominated in Renminbi. Under applicable PRC law, the Renminbi is freely convertible to foreign currencies with respect to current
account transactions, but not with respect to capital account transactions. Current account transactions include ordinary course import or export transactions, payments for services rendered and payments of license fees, royalties,
interest on loans and dividends. Capital account transactions include cross-border investments and repayments of the principal of loans.

Our PRC subsidiaries currently may purchase foreign currencies for settlement of current account transactions, including payment of dividends to us. Our PRC subsidiaries may also retain foreign exchange
in their current accounts, subject to a ceiling approved by SAFE, to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities or to pay dividends. However, we cannot assure you that the relevant PRC governmental authorities will not limit or eliminate the ability of
our PRC subsidiaries to purchase and retain foreign currencies in the future.

Foreign exchange transactions under the capital
account are still subject to limitations and require approvals from or registration with SAFE. This could affect our PRC subsidiaries ability to obtain debt or equity financing from outside China, including by means of loans or capital
contributions from us.

Since substantially all of our revenues are denominated in Renminbi, including fees and payments from
our PRC consolidated controlled entities pursuant to the Structure Contracts, existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenues generated in Renminbi to fund expenditures denominated in foreign
currencies, including any dividends that our PRC subsidiaries may pay to us in the future.

If SAFE determines that its
foreign exchange regulations apply to us and our shareholding structure, a failure by our shareholders who are PRC citizens or residents to comply with these regulations may restrict our ability to distribute profits, restrict our overseas and
cross-border investment activities or subject us to liability under PRC laws, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

In October 2005, SAFE issued the Notice on Issues Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fundraising and Return Investment
Activities of Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, which became effective as of November 1, 2005 and was supplemented by an implementing notice issued on November 24, 2005. We refer to them collectively as
Notice 75. To further clarify and simplify the implementation of Notice 75, SAFE issued the Implementing Rules Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in Fund-Raising and Round-trip Investment Activities of the Domestic Residents
Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or Notice 19, effective on July 1, 2011. Under Notice 75 and Notice 19, PRC residents and citizens must register with the relevant local SAFE branch prior to their establishment or control of an
offshore entity established for the purpose of an overseas equity financing involving onshore assets or equity interests held by them, and must also make filings with SAFE thereafter upon the occurrence of certain material capital changes. The
registration and filing procedures under Notice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from the offshore entity, such as inbound investments or shareholders loans, or capital outflow to
the offshore entity, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity sale proceeds or the return of funds upon a capital reduction.

The interpretation and implementation of Notice 75 involve significant uncertainty. For
example, the shares of Media Partner and Next Decade, two of our shareholders, are held in irrevocable discretionary family trusts established by Mr. Mo, of which Mr. Mo has represented that none of the trustees and beneficial owners is a
PRC resident. However, since Mr. Mo, a PRC resident, was our indirect shareholder before the establishment of the family trusts, we have not been able to obtain confirmation from SAFE as to whether Notice 75 applies to us or Mr. Mo. We
cannot predict how Notice 75 will affect our business operations or future strategies. If SAFE determines that Notice 75 does apply to us, our present and prospective PRC subsidiaries ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as any
remittance of dividends or foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with Notice 75 requirements of our PRC resident shareholders. We cannot assure you that our PRC resident shareholders will be able to complete the
necessary registration and filing procedures required by Notice 75. If Notice 75 is determined to apply to us or any of our PRC resident shareholders, a failure by any of our shareholders or beneficiary owners to comply with Notice 75 may subject
the relevant shareholders or beneficiaries to penalties under PRC foreign exchange administrative regulations, and may subject us to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiaries
ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity as well as our ability to pay dividends or make
other distributions to our shareholders.

Recently enacted regulations in the PRC may make it more difficult for us to
pursue growth through acquisitions.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies promulgated the Regulations
on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, which became effective on September 8, 2006 and was amended on June 22, 2009. The M&A Rules and recently issued regulations and rules
concerning mergers and acquisitions established additional procedures and requirements that could make merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex. For example, the M&A Rules require that the Ministry
of Commerce be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise or a foreign company with substantial PRC operations, if certain thresholds under the Provisions on
Thresholds for Prior Notification of Concentrations of Undertakings, issued by the State Council on August 3, 2008, are triggered. According to the Implementing Rules Concerning Security Review on the Mergers and Acquisitions by Foreign
Investors of Domestic Enterprises issued by the Ministry of Commerce in August 2011, mergers and acquisitions by foreign investors involved in an industry related to national security are subject to strict review by the Ministry of Commerce. These
rules also prohibit any transactions attempting to bypass such security review, including by controlling entities through contractual arrangements. We believe that our business is not in an industry related to national security. However, we cannot
preclude the possibility that the Ministry of Commerce or other government agencies may publish interpretations contrary to our understanding or broaden the scope of such security review in the future. Although we have no current plans to make any
acquisitions, we may elect to grow our business in the future in part by directly acquiring complementary businesses in China. Complying with the requirements of these regulations to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any
required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the Ministry of Commerce, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions.

We may be subject to fines and legal or administrative sanctions if we or our PRC citizen employees fail to comply with PRC regulations with respect to the registration of such employees share
options and restricted share units.

In February 2012, SAFE promulgated the Notices on Issues concerning the Foreign
Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Stock Incentive Plan of Overseas Publicly-Listed Company, or the Stock Option Rule. Under the Stock Option Rule, a Chinese entitys directors, supervisors, senior management
officers, other staff, or individuals which have an employment or labor relationship with such Chinese entity who are granted stock options by an overseas publicly listed company are required, through a PRC agent or PRC subsidiary of such overseas
publicly listed company, to register with SAFE and complete certain other procedures. Our local employees who have been granted stock options are subject to these regulations. We have designated our PRC relevant subsidiaries to handle the
registration and other procedures required by the Stock Option Rule. If we or our PRC option holders fail to comply with these rules, we and our PRC option holders may be subject to fines and other legal or administrative sanctions. See
Item 4. Information on the CompanyBusiness OverviewRegulationRegulations relating to Employee Share Options.

Our auditor, like other independent registered public accounting firms operating in
China, is not permitted to be subject to inspection by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and as such, investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection.

Our independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit reports included in our annual reports filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or PCAOB, is required by the laws of the United
States to undergo regular inspections by PCAOB to assess its compliance with the laws of the United States and professional standards. Because our auditor is located in China, a jurisdiction where PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections
without the approval of the PRC authorities, our auditor, like other independent registered public accounting firms operating in China, is currently not inspected by PCAOB.

Inspection of other firms that PCAOB has conducted outside of China have identified deficiencies in those firms audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the
inspection process to improve future auditor quality. The inability of PCAOB to conduct inspections of independent registered public accounting firms operating in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditors
audit procedures or quality control procedure. As a result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of PCAOB inspections.

Fluctuations in the exchange rates of the Renminbi could materially and adversely affect the value of our shares or ADSs and result
in foreign currency exchange losses.

Substantially all of our revenues, cash and cash equivalent assets, costs and
expenses, are denominated in Renminbi, and the functional currency of our principal operating subsidiaries and consolidated controlled entities is the Renminbi. On the other hand, a portion of our expenditures are denominated in foreign currencies,
primarily the U.S. dollar, and we use the U.S. dollar as our functional and reporting currency. The ADSs is also traded in U.S. dollars. As a result, the value of your investment in our ADSs will be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates,
particularly appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies, without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations.

The exchange rates between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies are affected by, among other things, changes in
Chinas political and economic conditions. In July 2005, the PRC government discontinued pegging the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. However, PBOC regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations
in the exchange rate. Nevertheless, under Chinas current exchange rate regime, the Renminbi may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future the
PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the Renminbi exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend we declare and
distribute that will be exchanged into U.S. dollars and earnings from and the value of any U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make in the future. To the extent that we need to convert future financing proceeds into Renminbi for our operations,
any appreciation of the Renminbi against the relevant foreign currencies would materially reduce the Renminbi amounts we would receive from the conversion. On the other hand, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of
making payments of dividends on our shares or for other business purposes when the U.S. dollar appreciates against the Renminbi, the amounts of U.S. dollars we would receive from such conversion would be reduced. In addition, any depreciation of our
U.S. dollar-denominated monetary assets could result in a charge to our income statement and a reduction in the value of our assets.

In addition, very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure
to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and
effectiveness of these hedging transactions may be limited and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, our currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to
convert Renminbi into foreign currency.

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process,
enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China based on United States or other foreign laws against us or our management.

We are a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. We conduct our operations in China and substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition, certain of our directors and
executive officers reside within China, and most of the assets of these persons are located within China. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside China upon these directors, and
executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws. Moreover, Jingtian & Gongcheng, our PRC legal counsel, has advised us that China does not have treaties with
the United States or most other countries providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judicial judgments. As a result, recognition and enforcement in China of judgments of a court in the United States or any other jurisdiction in
relation to any matter not subject to a binding arbitration provision may be difficult. Furthermore, an original action may be brought in China against our directors, or executive officers only if the actions are not required to be arbitrated under
PRC law and upon satisfaction of the conditions for institution of a cause of action pursuant to the PRC Civil Procedure Law. For example, pursuant to the PRC Civil Procedure Law, the facts alleged in the complaint must give rise to a cause of
action under PRC law and the action must fall within the jurisdiction of the PRC courts. As a result of the conditions set forth in the PRC Civil Procedure Law and the discretion of the PRC court to determine whether the conditions are satisfied and
whether to accept the action for adjudication, there remains some uncertainty as to whether an investor will be able to bring an original action in a PRC court based on U.S. federal securities laws.

We face risks related to natural disasters, health epidemics and other outbreaks of contagious diseases, including avian flu, SARS
and H1N1 flu.

Our business could be adversely affected by natural disasters, avian flu, SARS, H1N1 flu, also known as
swine flu, or other epidemics or outbreaks of contagious diseases. In May 2008, China experienced an earthquake with a reported magnitude of 8.0 on the Richter scale in Sichuan Province, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of people.
There have been recent reports of outbreaks of a highly pathogenic avian flu caused by the H5N1 virus, in certain regions of Asia and Europe. In 2005 and 2006, there were reports on the occurrences of avian flu in various parts of China, including a
few confirmed human cases. Since April 2009, there have been reports on the occurrences of H1N1 flu in Mexico, the United States, China and certain other countries and regions around the world. An outbreak of avian flu or H1N1 flu in the human
population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, particularly in Asia. In addition, any recurrence of SARS, a highly contagious form of atypical pneumonia,
similar to the occurrence in 2003 that affected China, Hong Kong and certain other countries and regions, would also have similar adverse effects. These natural disasters, outbreaks of contagious diseases and other adverse public health developments
in China could severely disrupt our business operations or the real estate and home furnishing and improvement markets in China and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We have not adopted any written preventive
measures or contingency plans to combat any future natural disasters or outbreaks of avian flu, H1N1 flu, SARS or any other epidemic.

Risks Relating to Our ADSs

The market price movement of our ADSs may be volatile.

The market price of our ADSs may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Among the factors that could affect the price of our ADSs
are risk factors described in this section and other factors, including:



| |  |  | announcements of competitive developments;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | regulatory developments in our target markets which affect us, our users, our customers or our competitors;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure of our quarterly financial and results of operations to meet market expectations or failure to meet our previously announced guidance;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other Internet or online real estate and home furnishing and improvement services
companies;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | additions or departures of our executive officers and other key personnel;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | announcements regarding intellectual property litigation (or potential litigation) involving us or any of our directors and officers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Renminbi;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | release or expiration of the underwriters post-offering lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding ordinary shares and ADSs;
and/or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | sales or perceived sales of additional ordinary shares or ADSs.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to
the operating performance of particular industries or companies. For example, the capital and credit markets have experienced significant volatility and disruption in recent years. In September 2008, such volatility and disruption reached extreme
levels and developed into a global crisis. As a result, stock prices of a broad range of companies worldwide, whether or not they were related to financial services, declined significantly. Future market fluctuations may also have a material adverse
effect on the market price of our ADSs.

The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our ADSs or
ordinary shares could adversely affect their market price.

Sales of substantial amounts of our ADSs or ordinary
shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our ADSs and could materially impair our future ability to raise capital through offerings of our ADSs. As of December 31,
2011, we had 78,150,568 ordinary shares outstanding, including 16,499,309 Class A ordinary shares represented by ADSs. In addition, as of December 31, 2011, there were outstanding options to purchase 9,874,672 of our ordinary shares,
including exercisable options to purchase 5,912,823 ordinary shares. All of the ADSs sold in our initial public offering are tradable without any restriction or further registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
Securities Act, unless held by our affiliates as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. All of our shares outstanding prior to our initial public offering are restricted securities as defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act and, in the absence of registration, may not be sold other than in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another exemption from registration. Certain of our shareholders or their transferees
and assignees have the right to cause us to register the sale of their shares under the Securities Act upon the occurrence of certain circumstances. See Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and EmployeesShare
OwnershipShareholders Agreement and Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party TransactionsRelated Party Transactions. Registration of these ordinary shares under the Securities Act would result in such
shares becoming freely tradable without any restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration. Sales of these registered ordinary shares in the public market could cause the price of our ADSs to decline.

We may need additional capital, and the sale of additional ADSs or other equity
securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders, while the incurrence of debt may impose restrictions on our operations.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the foreseeable future. We may, however, require
additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If these resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell
equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of equity securities would result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to
operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to, and we will, rely on exemptions from certain NYSE corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, including the requirement that a
majority of an issuers directors consist of independent directors. This may afford less protection to holders of our ordinary shares and ADSs.

We are a foreign private issuer under the securities laws of the United States and the rules of the NYSE. Under the securities laws of the United States, foreign private issuers
are subject to different disclosure requirements than U.S. domiciled registrants, as well as different financial reporting requirements. Under the NYSE rules, a foreign private issuer is subject to less stringent corporate governance
requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the rules of the NYSE permit a foreign private issuer to follow its home country practice in lieu of the listing requirements of the NYSE. The corporate governance practice in our home
country, the Cayman Islands, does not require a majority of our board to consist of independent directors or the implementation of a nominating and corporate governance committee. We currently rely on the exemptions provided by the NYSE to a foreign
private issuer and have a board of directors with a majority of non-independent directors, an audit committee comprised of independent directors, a compensation committee with one non-independent director and a combined nominating and corporate
governance committee with one non-independent director. As a result, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE corporate governance requirements.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain disclosure requirements under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or the Exchange Act, which may afford less protection to our shareholders than they would enjoy if we were a U.S. company.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from, among other things, the rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the
Exchange Act. In addition, our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit and recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. We are also not required under the
Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. As a result, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than
they would under the Exchange Act rules applicable to U.S. companies.

We may become a passive foreign investment
company, or PFIC, which could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences to U.S. investors.

A non-U.S. corporation is
deemed a PFIC for any taxable year if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income for such year is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year
is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. We operate an active real estate and home furnishing and improvement Internet portal in China. Based on the market price of our ADSs, the value
of our assets, and the composition of our income and assets, we do not believe that we were a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2011. The determination of whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC is made on an annual basis after the
close of each taxable year. There can be no assurance that we were not a PFIC for our current taxable year or any future taxable year. The most consequential factor affecting the outcome of annual PFIC determination in current and future taxable
years will be our market capitalization. Because items of working capital are generally treated as passive assets for PFIC purposes, accumulating cash, cash equivalents and other assets that are readily convertible into cash increases the risk that
we will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A determination that we are a PFIC could result in adverse U.S. tax consequences to you if you are a U.S. taxpayer, in the form of increased tax liabilities and burdensome
reporting requirements. For example, if we were a PFIC, you would generally be taxed at the higher ordinary income rates, rather than the lower capital gain rates, if you dispose of ADSs at a gain in a later year, even if we are not a PFIC in that
year. In addition, a portion of the tax imposed on your gain would be increased by an interest charge. Also, if we were classified as a PFIC in any taxable year, you would not be able to benefit from any preferential tax rate (if any) with respect
to any dividend distribution that you may receive from us in that year or in the following year. Since our business and assets may evolve over time in ways that are different from what we currently anticipate, we cannot assure you that we will not
be a PFIC for any future taxable year. For more information on the tax consequences to you if we were treated as a PFIC, see Item 10. Additional InformationTaxationUnited States Federal Income TaxationU.S. HoldersStatus
as a PFIC.

Since shareholder rights under Cayman Islands law differ from those under U.S. law,
you may have difficulty protecting your shareholder rights.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our amended and
restated memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands, or the Cayman Companies Law, and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by minority
shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us and to our shareholders under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part
from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the Cayman Islands.

The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly
established as they are under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and some states, such as
Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, shareholders of Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

As a result, public shareholders of Cayman Islands companies may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in
connection with actions taken by management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a U.S. company.

The voting rights of holders of ADSs are limited by the terms of the deposit agreement.

A holder of our ADSs may only exercise the voting rights with respect to the underlying ordinary shares in accordance with the provisions of the deposit agreement. Upon receipt of voting instructions of a
holder of ADSs in the manner set forth in the deposit agreement, the depositary will endeavor to vote the underlying ordinary shares in accordance with these instructions. Under our amended and restated articles of association and Cayman Islands
law, the minimum notice period required for convening a general meeting is 10 days. When a general meeting is convened, you may not receive sufficient notice to permit you to withdraw your ordinary shares and allow you to cast your vote as a
direct shareholder with respect to any specific matter. In addition, the depositary and its agents may not be able to send voting instructions to you or carry out your voting instructions in a timely manner. We will make all reasonable efforts to
cause the depositary to extend voting rights to you in a timely manner, but we cannot assure you that you will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that you can instruct the depositary to vote your shares. Furthermore, the depositary and
its agents will not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote, for the manner in which any vote is cast or for the effect of any such vote. As a result, you may not be able to exercise your right to vote and you may lack
recourse if the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs are not voted as you requested.

You may not be able to participate
in rights offerings and may experience dilution of your holdings.

We may, from time to time, distribute rights to our
shareholders, including rights to acquire securities. We cannot offer or sell securities in the United States unless we register those securities under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act is available. Under the deposit agreement, the depositary will not distribute rights to holders of ADSs unless the distribution and sale of rights and the securities to which these rights relate are either exempt from registration under the
Securities Act with respect to all holders of ADSs, or are registered under the Securities Act. The depositary may, but is not required to, attempt to sell such undistributed rights to third parties in this situation. We can give no assurances that
we will be able to establish an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and we are under no obligation to file a registration statement with respect to these rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to have a registration
statement declared effective. Accordingly, holders of ADSs may be unable to participate in any rights offerings and may experience dilution of their holdings as a result.

##### Table of Contents

If the depositary is unable to sell rights that are not exercised or not distributed or if
the sale is not lawful or reasonably practicable, it will allow the rights to lapse, in which case you will receive no value for these rights.

You may not receive distributions on ordinary shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical to make them available to you.

The depositary for our ADSs has agreed to pay to you the cash dividends or other distributions it or its custodian receives on ordinary
shares or other deposited securities after deducting its fees and expenses. You will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of ordinary shares your ADSs represent. However, the depositary is not required to make such distributions
if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any holder of ADSs. For example, it would be unlawful to make a distribution to holders of ADSs if it consisted of securities that required registration under the
Securities Act, but were not properly registered or distributed pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration. It could also be impracticable to make a distribution if doing so would entail fees and expenses that would exceed the value of
the distribution or the distribution consisted of property that could not be transported or transferred. We have not undertaken any obligation to register under U.S. securities laws any ADSs, ordinary shares, rights or other securities that may be
distributed to our shareholders. We also have not undertaken any obligation to take any other action to permit the distribution of ADSs, ordinary shares, rights or anything else to holders of ADSs. This means that you may not receive any
distribution we make on our ordinary shares or any value for it if it is illegal or impractical for us to make such distribution available to you, such as if an exemption from registration under the U.S. securities laws is not available. These
restrictions may decrease the value of your ADSs.

We may be required to withhold PRC income tax on any dividend we pay
you, and any gain you realize on the transfer of our ordinary shares and/or ADSs may also be subject to PRC withholding tax.

Pursuant to the New EIT Law, we and our offshore subsidiaries, such as Bravo Work, China Index Academy and China Home Holdings (HK) Limited, may be treated as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC tax
purposes. See Risks Relating to Doing Business in ChinaWe rely primarily on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries, and any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to make payments to us could
have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business as well as our liquidity. If we and our offshore subsidiaries are so treated by the PRC tax authorities, we would be obligated to withhold a 10.0% PRC withholding tax or, a
withholding tax at a reduced rate as provided under the applicable double tax treaty between China and the governments of other jurisdictions on any dividend we pay to you, subject to completion of the record-filing procedures and approval from the
relevant tax authorities, pursuant to a Circular No. 124 issued by SAT in August 2009, or Circular 124.

In
addition, any gain realized by any investors who are non-resident enterprises of China from the transfer of our ordinary shares and/or ADSs could be regarded as being derived from sources within China and be subject to a 10.0% PRC withholding tax.
Such PRC withholding tax would reduce your investment return on our ordinary shares and/or ADSs and may also materially and adversely affect the price of our ordinary shares and/or ADSs.

Our dual-class ordinary share structure with different voting rights could discourage others from pursuing any change of control
transactions that holders of our Class A ordinary shares and ADSs may view as beneficial.

Our ordinary shares
are divided into Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote per share, while holders of Class B ordinary shares are entitled to 10 votes per share. A number of
our shareholders, including primarily Media Partner and Next Decade, whose shares are held in an irrevocable discretionary trust established by Mr. Mo, hold Class B ordinary shares. We intend to maintain the dual-class ordinary share structure.
Each Class B ordinary share is convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time by its holder and Class A ordinary shares are not convertible into Class B ordinary shares under any circumstances. Upon any transfer of
Class B ordinary shares by a Class B ordinary shareholder to any person or entity which is not an affiliate of such holder, such Class B ordinary shares will be automatically and immediately converted into the equal number of
Class A ordinary shares.

##### Table of Contents

Due to the disparate voting powers attached to these classes of shares, our shareholders
holding Class B ordinary shares have significant voting power over matters requiring shareholder approval, including election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or sale of our Company or our assets. This
concentrated control could discourage others from pursuing any potential merger, takeover or other change-of-control transactions that holders of Class A ordinary shares and ADSs may view as beneficial.

Our articles of association contain anti-takeover provisions that could adversely affect the rights of holders of our ordinary
shares and ADSs

We have included certain provisions in our current articles of association that would limit the
ability of others to acquire control of our Company. These provisions could deprive our shareholders of the opportunity to sell their ordinary shares at a premium over the prevailing market price by discouraging third parties from seeking to obtain
control of our Company in a tender offer or similar transactions. These provisions include the following:



| |  |  | A dual-class ordinary share structure; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Our board of directors, without further action by our shareholders, may issue preferred shares with special voting rights compared to our ordinary
shares.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. History and Development of the Company

We were incorporated on June 18, 1999 as Fly High Holdings Limited, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, and on July 14, 1999, we changed our name to SouFun.com Limited. On
June 17, 2004, we changed our corporate domicile to the Cayman Islands, becoming a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability. On June 22, 2004, we changed our name to SouFun Holdings Limited. Since our inception, we have
conducted our operations in China primarily through our PRC subsidiaries and consolidated controlled entities.

In
August 2006, Telstra International Holdings Ltd., or Telstra International, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Telstra Corporation Limited, one of the global Fortune 500 companies, acquired a 55.1% equity interest in our Company.

On September 17, 2010, we completed our initial public offering and listing of 2,933,238 ADSs, each representing four
Class A ordinary shares, on the New York Stock Exchange, which are traded under the symbol of SFUN. Concurrently with our initial public offering, Telstra International sold to General Atlantic, Apax, Next Decade and Digital Link
Investments Limited, or Digital Link, all of its shares in our Company in a private sale at the initial public offering price.

On February 18, 2011, we changed our ADS to share ratio from one ADS representing four Class A ordinary shares to one ADS
representing one Class A ordinary share.

marketing and listing coverage of over 300 cities across China and have what we believe is one of the largest and most comprehensive nationwide databases of online listings for new, secondary and rental properties as well as home furnishing and
improvement products and services in China as measured by geographic coverage. Our principal executive offices are located at 8thFloor, Tower 3, Xihuan Plaza, No. 1 Xizhimenwai Avenue, Xicheng District, Beijing 100044. Our telephone number at

B. Business Overview

Overview

We operate the leading real estate Internet portal in China in

improvement website in terms of unique visitors according to research from CR-Nielsen. Through our websites, we provide marketing, listing, e-commerce and other value-added services and products for Chinas fast-growing real estate and home
furnishing and improvement sectors. Our user-friendly websites support active online communities and networks of users seeking information on, and other value-added services and products for, the real estate and home furnishing and improvement

We have built a large and active community of users who are attracted by the comprehensive real estate and home furnishing and improvement content available on our portal that forms the foundation of our
service offerings. We currently maintain 103 offices across China to focus on local market needs.

Our user base has also
attracted numerous customers, which include real estate developers, real estate agents and brokers, property owners, property managers, mortgage brokers, lenders and suppliers of home furnishing and improvement products and services. Our diverse
offerings and broad geographic coverage have resulted in an active and dynamic online community that provides an effective and targeted channel for advertisers to market their products and services, and serves as a centralized source of information,
products and services for consumers in the real estate and home furnishing and improvement markets.

In 2009, 2010 and 2011,
we had revenues of US$127.0 million, US$224.5 million and US$343.8 million, respectively. During the same periods, our net income attributable to our shareholders was US$52.7 million, US$63.1 million and US$101.6 million,

Marketing Services

We target our marketing services toward participants in Chinas real estate and home furnishing and improvement sectors. Marketing is
our most important business. Revenues from marketing services were US$102.4 million, US$167.7 million and US$246.6 million in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, representing 80.6%, 74.7% and 71.7% of our revenues in those years, respectively. Our
marketing services are delivered through our website www.soufun.com and include traditional Internet advertisements such as banners, links, logos and floating signs, as well as featured promotions, which are specially-tailored packages of
traditional online advertising tools, such as Internet advertisements, combined with our other services. Customers of our marketing services include a broad range of participants in the PRC real estate and home furnishing and improvement sectors,
such as:



| |  |  | real estate developers;
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | real estate professionals, such as agents and brokers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | retailers and other suppliers of home furnishing and improvement products and services;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | home design, decoration and re-modeling companies; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | banks offering residential mortgage loan products.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------

We also combine traditional online advertising tools with our other services to create featured promotion packages for our customers. Using the inherent flexibility of website advertising, we create
customized marketing and promotional packages with additional features at the request of our customers to meet the different needs of various customers operating in diverse geographic markets in China. Additional revenues could often be generated by
adding features without incurring significant additional costs. Marketing services have been and will continue to be a growth area for us, as we believe that participants in Chinas real estate and home furnishing and improvement sectors are
increasingly looking to the Internet as an additional vehicle through which to attract customers.

We generally enter into two
main types of marketing contracts with our customers. The first type is a framework contract with payment due on a monthly basis. The second type is a general contract with payment due on either a quarterly or semi-annual basis or with 50% of the
contract amount payable within seven days of the date of entry into the contract and the remainder payable within seven days of the expiration of the contract. Our marketing contracts generally have a one year term.

Listing Services

Our listing services include basic listing services and special listing services. In 2009, 2010 and 2011, our revenues from listing services were US$17.6 million, US$40.4 million and US$67.1 million in
2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, representing 13.8%, 18.0% and 19.5% of our revenues, respectively.

Basic Listing
Services. Basic listing services contributed approximately 65.6%, 80.0% and 82.5% of our listing service revenues in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Real estate developers, owners, agents, brokers, managers and suppliers of home furnishing
and improvement products and services subscribe to our basic listing services for a fee, which allow them to post listings for properties or home furnishing and improvement products and services over the subscription periods. All visitors to our
websites have access to listing information free of charge.

Most of our basic listing subscription contracts are one to three
months in duration. We typically collect payments for such subscriptions for our basic listing services upon the signing of a subscription contract. We also offer longer arrangements, such as to certain large real estate agencies. For subscription
contracts with longer terms, the contract prices are generally payable in installments every one to three months until the end of the contract term.

We offer free trials of our basic listing services. These free trials allow users to experience our basic listing services and high user traffic. While there is no time restriction on our free trials,
there are incentives for free trial users to upgrade their free trial accounts to paid subscriptions for our basic listing services because listings posted through free trial accounts are featured in less prominent positions and rankings than those
of subscribers.

In addition, we allow individual property owners to list their own properties for sale or
rent on our property listing sections without charge. Such free listings do not enjoy prime positioning and are strictly limited to individual, non-real estate professional home owners. To help prevent real estate professionals from abusing the
individual property owner basic listing service, we have created a customer hotline for our users to report any abuse.

Our
basic listing service helps us build our comprehensive database of information regarding new, secondary and rental properties as well as home furnishing and improvement products and services in major urban centers across China. The increasing amount
of our basic listings results in increased user traffic on our websites, which we believe can be leveraged to yield more marketing and special listing customers and higher marketing and special listing fees from our institutional customers.

We update the listing data on our websites on a daily basis through our proprietary content management process and software.
This proprietary content management process is monitored by our listing monitoring team and allows our customers to submit listing information in a specific format. Our listing monitoring team periodically checks all listing information uploaded to
our websites to identify common anomalies in posted information in order to limit unreliable data. Once we discover false information in a listing, we liaise with the real estate agent or broker to rectify the listing immediately. If such listing
information is not revised on a timely basis, we will move it into a database that cannot be accessed by our users.

Special Listing Services. Special listing services are tailor-made marketing campaigns provided primarily to developers marketing
new property developments. Revenues from special listing services were US$6.0 million, US$8.1 million and US$11.8 million in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, representing 34.4%, 20.0% and 17.5% of our listing service revenues in those years,
respectively.

Through collaboration among our research, product development and sales personnel, we identify property
developments with similar attributes and create a plan for collectively promoting such property developments in a special listing, typically in the form of an online listing combined with an offline event. Once we determine a theme for a
special listing program and identify suitable property developments for the program, our marketing and sales staff directly contact the targeted developers to solicit their participation in the special listing program. Each participating developer
pays a specified fee to list its development in our special listing section for the duration of the program, which generally ranges from three months to one year. Some examples of our special listings include events and promotions for the top 100
PRC property developers and the China Villa Festival. We organized and hosted, both online and offline, eight consecutive China Villa Festivals from 2004 to 2011, which is an annual event that attracts media, real estate professionals, economists
and industry academics. This special listing event was coupled with a marketing program which promoted and advertised various villa projects across 100 cities in China. We believe growth in new property developments will continue due to Chinas
growing and increasingly affluent urban population, providing a steady market for our special listing service.

E-commerce Services

In early 2011, we launched e-commerce services for the home furnishing and improvement sector through www.jiatx.com. We offer an online transaction platform and related e-commerce services to
third-party merchants of home furnishing and improvement products and services. Products sold on www.jiatx.com include basic raw materials, furniture, home decoration items, hardware, bathroom accessories and kitchen utensils. We earn a commission,
which ranges from 5% to 15% of the sales transaction amount, from the third-party merchants when a transaction is completed through our marketplace and online payment platforms. Our revenue from e-commerce services was US$1.7 million in 2011.

Other Value-added Services and Products

In addition to marketing and listing services, we also provide other value-added services and products. Revenues from other value-added
services and products were US$6.9 million, US$13.4 million and US$28.4 million in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, representing 5.6%, 7.3% and 8.3% of our revenues in those years, respectively.

Online Content Subscription and Research Services.We utilize our extensive PRC real estate database and research capabilities to
provide online content relating to the real estate sector through our websites, such as real estate database access, research services, real estate industry and company-specific research reports and home furnishing and improvement-related research.
Our customers include PRC real estate enterprises as well as government entities. Our research group, China Index Academy, combines our research department resources with an advisory panel of leading real estate experts and industry professionals.
The advisory panel provides strategic research guidance, identifies key issues facing the PRC real estate market and acts as an advisory board to the China Index Academy and us. We provide online content subscription services on either a flat-fee
subscription basis for database access or a per-project basis for our research services. We charge subscription fees based on the number of databases that the subscriber would like to access.

Total Web Solution Services. Total web solution services help
our customers initiate their services and products into our websites as well as to design their own websites. Customers interested in targeting consumers in the real estate and home furnishing and improvement sectors often request our assistance
with website management, establishing website traffic tracking tools and electronic bulletin board services, a type of online information service that offers a shared environment where visitors to the website can leave messages, retrieve messages,
engage in online discussions and exchange information with other visitors. We believe our total web solution services enable us to enhance our relationship with our customers by providing an additional avenue through which we can cross-sell other
services, such as marketing and listing services. We believe our total web solution services also serve as an effective tool to educate and train our customers in marketing strategies. Such training is particularly important for customers located in
smaller cities where local Internet penetration and sophistication may be lower than the larger and more developed cities in China.

SouFun Card Membership Services. We provide both free and paid membership services to the registered members of our SouFun cards. Our free services include primarily regular updates regarding local
property developments, tours to visit property developments and other services relating to properties purchases. Our paid services primarily include offers to purchase properties with discounts from our exclusive partner developers and dedicated
information and related services to facilitate property purchases, which we began to offer in 2011. Our membership fees for paid services generally range from RMB5,000 to RMB20,000. The discount is reflected as a fixed amount off, or a
percentage discount to, the total purchase price of the specified property, or a combination of both, which are determined by us and our partner developers. The discounts are significantly higher than our membership fees, resulting in net savings
for our members. Membership fees are refundable until our members apply the discounts to purchase properties. We do not share our membership fees with our partner developers and do not otherwise pay them in connection with our paid membership
services. In 2001, we offered discounts on 209 property developments in 17 cities in China. Our revenues from SouFun card membership services totaled US$22.5 million in 2011, or 6.4% of our total revenues for the year. We expect that revenues from
paid SouFun card membership services will increase in the near future as they allow our members to achieve significant savings and provide additional exposure and attract more buyers for our partner developers.

Prepaid Cards. In addition to the above services and products, we also sold prepaid cards issued by home furnishing and
improvement vendors in 2009 and 2010. We provided marketing services to these home furnishing and improvement vendors in exchange for their prepaid cards in those years due to the impact of financial crisis on their ability to pay for our services.
The prepaid cards contained monetary value in denominations varying from RMB20 to RMB2,000 that could only be used to purchase certain products from the vendors specified stores and were not redeemable for cash. We re-sold the prepaid cards,
typically at a discount to their face value, to external parties. We ceased accepting prepaid cards as payment for our marketing services after July 2010 and sold all the remaining prepaid cards by the end of 2010. In 2009 and 2010, revenue
from prepaid card business was US$5.4 million and US$13.5 million, respectively.

Our Websites

Our website, www.soufun.com, is a leading real estate and home furnishing and improvement Internet portal in China in terms of:



| |  |  | visitor traffic: According to CR-Nielsen, our website received a weekly average of approximately 10.5 million unique visitors in 2011; and

| |  |  | members: As of December 31, 2011, we had over 24 million registered members of our www.soufun.com website and had
11 million registered members of our SouFun card.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of December 31, 2011, our
www.soufun.com website contained links to our local websites covering 314 cities across China, as well as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Vancouver, Canada. Our website also contains links to other specialized real estate and home furnishing
and improvement websites, including our www.jiatx.com website, our e-commerce services platform.

We believe user
satisfaction ultimately rests on the appeal, attraction and functionality of our websites. Our Internet technology and sales and marketing teams spend considerable time and resources upgrading and enhancing our websites based on market trends and
feedback from users and our marketing and listing customers. We distinguish ourselves from other real estate- and home furnishing and improvement-focused websites through the quality and breadth of our real estate and home furnishing and improvement
content. We also maintain a centralized customer service hotline and e-mail reporting system through which users can obtain assistance or otherwise contact us.

Our www.soufun.com website covers a wide spectrum of PRC real estate and home furnishing and improvement information and constitutes the foundation and gateway for our primary business activities.
We aim at providing a central forum of reliable information regarding Chinas real estate and home furnishing and improvement market that is helpful to participants in the real estate and home furnishing and improvement transaction process. Our
content, which is generally free to our website users, is designed to assist users with each step of the real estate and home furnishing and improvement transaction process. Our extensive home-related content and information is organized into the
following sections and categories on our website, which are intended to address the individual needs of our users.

Online Property Listings and Search Engines for New Home and Secondary and Rental Properties

Our www.soufun.com website contains databases for new home, secondary and rental properties, and provides search engines on such
properties in our databases.

With our on-the-ground capabilities in 103 offices in China, we devote significant resources to
collect first-hand real estate market intelligence and listing information in such markets and to update such information on a regular basis. Our user-friendly search engines and website interfaces allow users to tailor their searches to specific
types of properties by using search criteria. Users seeking information on properties in specific geographic locations can narrow their searches to a specific city and often to specific districts or areas in the vicinity of a particular subway line
within that city by using pull-down menus. Users can further refine their searches using selection criteria, including price range, type of property, number of rooms and size. After selecting search parameters, users are directed to a page listing
available properties as well as basic information about each individual property, including location, price, number of rooms and the source of the listing.

Information on Home Furnishing and Improvement Products and Services

Our www.soufun.com website contains information regarding design firms, contractors, do-it-yourself projects, building materials
and a wide range of products and services relevant to home decoration and re-modeling, furniture and other home furnishing and services. We provide an efficient platform for companies in the home furnishing and improvement sector, which are usually
small in size, to promote their brands and establish their presence on the Internet. We also provide search tools enabling visitors to search for specific businesses by area of expertise, product or service category. For example, a visitor
interested in searching for suppliers and installers of window products in Beijing can use our pull-down search tools to focus their search for businesses providing such products and services.

Other pull-down menus allow visitors to view numerous design concepts, model interior decoration plans or other home improvement ideas.
After selecting search parameters, users are directed to a page listing applicable home furnishing and improvement products and services as well as basic information about each home furnishing and improvement product or service, including price,
product and service information and the source of the information. Much of the content, pictures and graphics are provided by other users of the website, which allows people interested in home decoration and furnishing to share ideas and information
online. Users can also use this section to find and compare the work and experience of architects and interior designers.

##### Table of Contents

In early 2011, we launched our e-commerce services for the home furnishing and improvement
sector through www.jiatx.com. We offer an online transaction platform and related e-commerce services to suppliers of home furnishing and improvement products and services. Products sold on www.jiatx.com include basic suppliers of home
raw materials, furniture, home decoration items, hardware, bathroom accessories and kitchen utensils.

Real Estate
Database and Information

Supported by our research group, China Index Academy, our website provides an extensive
database for users to search real estate information, as well as general research reports regarding the PRC real estate industry at both the national and regional levels. The research section of our website provides research coverage of different
topics within the PRC real estate industry. For example, our research database contains information on topics such as real estate projects, land information, real estate financing information, real estate-related laws and regulations and real estate
public company information. We believe our research section serves to raise our profile as experts on the PRC real estate industry. Supported by a dedicated research team and an advisory board of leading real estate experts and industry
professionals, our research section offers a collective body of knowledge that we believe is well-known in the PRC real estate industry.

Online Residential Communities

We offer online residential
community services through our website, www.soufun.com. Such online residential community services provide a forum for visitors to share personal views, anecdotes and other information regarding different aspects of the PRC real estate
market, specific property developments and residential communities and other subjects. They also provide a platform for conducting real estate and home furnishing and improvement transactions online. We believe our electronic bulletin board fora,
SouFun blogs and other online community-oriented services are valuable means for enhancing loyalty and brand awareness among our users by creating virtual communities sharing a common interest in PRC real estate and home furnishing and improvement
topics. In addition to using such fora to increase website traffic, we are also exploring ways to generate new revenue streams from our online fora and community-oriented services.

Our National Coverage

Currently we provide real estate-related content,
search services, marketing and listing coverage of 314 cities across China and have on-the-ground personnel located in 103 offices across China. We believe this extensive nationwide coverage enhances our national brand image, and enables us to
deliver consistent and quality marketing and listing services to customers. The real estate industry is inherently a local industry, and online marketing and online listing services targeted at the real estate industry are most effective when
delivered by personnel familiar with and experienced in the relevant local markets. Our local personnel also provide our central office staff with valuable data regarding these local real estate markets, which contributes to our knowledge and
expertise about real estate markets throughout China. In addition, our network of branch offices helps us to tailor our marketing and listing services to local conditions and the needs of local real estate developers and real estate professionals,
and to provide close after-sale support and services.

We have established a strong presence in 11 major cities, including
Beijing and Shanghai, which are our level 1 cities, and Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu, Suzhou and Nanjing, which are our level 2 cities. We entered these cities in the early stages of our development, and these
cities have contributed and are expected to continue to contribute a majority of our revenues in the near future. In most of these cities, we offer our full line of services and target a full range of customers, including new home developers,
agents, brokers, property managers and suppliers of home furnishing and improvement products and services.

We also offer limited listing and other information relating to the real estate markets in
Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Vancouver, Canada, but these markets do not constitute a material part of our business. The following map sets forth the cities we currently cover in mainland China:



LOGO

As part of our growth strategy, we also intend to expand our coverage areas to include additional
cities across China. The expansion will focus on cities with populations of over one million, strong potential for GDP growth and housing development, high attractiveness for real estate and home furnishing and improvement investment, as measured by
the scale of property development, and stable Internet infrastructure. We believe this expansion could further solidify our reputation as one of Chinas leading real estate and home furnishing and improvement Internet companies, as well as
provide us with new markets for our marketing, listing and other value-added services and products.

Brand Awareness and Marketing

We believe our comprehensive listing database has made www.soufun.com a leading destination website for real estate
participants in China. In addition, we seek to promote the SouFun brand through our directed selling efforts and other means, including our support for research, academic organizations and the publication of various research reports, event
sponsorships, portal collaboration arrangements and marketing alliances. As a result, we believe the SouFun brand has become commonly associated with Chinas growing real estate and home furnishing and improvement sectors.

Real Estate Research and Reports

We believe our knowledge of Chinas real estate and home furnishing and improvement sectors provides a valuable competitive advantage
and helps promote our brand name in the PRC real estate and furnishing and improvement market. The attractiveness of our marketing and listing services is rooted in our ability to commercialize various aspects of our databases and industry knowledge
to create new and innovative services for our marketing and listing customers. To maintain and extend our leading position in this area, we seek to recruit and retain employees knowledgeable about Chinas real estate and home furnishing and
improvement sectors through a variety of incentive measures, including share-based compensation plans. Members of our research department produce research reports and provide other information services that help promote our reputation as an informed
participant in Chinas real estate and home furnishing and improvement sectors.

Event Sponsorships

We regularly sponsor real estate and home furnishing and improvement events attended by industry participants. For
example, in March 2011, we hosted our eighth annual conference in Beijing to announce the Top 100 Property Developers in China together with the Enterprise Economic Research Institute of the Development Research Center of the PRC State
Council and the Institute of Real Estate Studies of Tsinghua University, two of Chinas leading research institutions. Many PRC real estate developers and government agencies involved in the PRC real estate sector attended this conference. The
event also attracted broad media attention and interest from the public in each of the past eight years that we held the event.

Portal Collaboration Arrangements

We work with well-known Internet portals to attract additional users to our websites. Our portal collaboration arrangements typically have terms ranging from one to three years, with fees paid to our
portal collaboration partners in installments every three months.

We currently have portal collaboration arrangements with
some of Chinas larger Chinese-language portals to generate user traffic to our website.

Advertising and Marketing

We conduct general marketing and advertising activities to promote awareness of the SouFun brand. We have
also used outdoor advertisements in the Beijing Capital International Airport, bus bulletin boards and subway stations.

Our Sales Force

We have built a sales and marketing team that is experienced in the online advertising, Internet and real estate
industries. Currently, our sales and marketing team consist of approximately 2,965 persons located in 103 offices across China. We also occasionally engage sales agents for collecting information on local markets or for specific business lines
within local markets. Our sales and marketing team, together with these sales agents, work closely with our customers in local markets and help us gain insight into developments in these local markets, the competitive landscape and new market
opportunities, which helps us to set our prices and strategies for each locality.

Our sales and marketing personnel are
divided into the new home group, secondary and rental properties group, home furnishing and improvement group and research group. This structure allows our sales and marketing personnel to gain expertise with a specific subset of customers within
the market sectors that we target, and to effectively design and market tailored services to customers within each subset.

To
motivate our sales and marketing personnel, a majority of their compensation consists of performance incentives such as commissions and bonuses. Sales quotas are assigned to all sales personnel according to monthly, quarterly and annual sales plans.
In addition, we apply a merit based promotion system to motivate our sales personnel.

Because sales of online marketing
services are highly competitive, we strongly emphasize training programs designed to improve the sales and marketing skills of our staff. We provide three types of training to our sales and marketing personnel: (i) mandatory entrance training
for each new sales and marketing employee during a three-month probationary period; (ii) rotation training that aims to rotate every sales and marketing employee in different posts for a certain period of time; and (iii) regular training
in which weekly seminars and case studies are conducted for sales and marketing personnel. Our combination of training, performance-based compensation and a merit based promotion system has been effective in identifying, motivating and retaining
strong performers.

We also have key account sales representatives in Beijing that serve our approximately 80
key account customers, which are identified based on their reputation, the scope of their operations as well as the amount of their contracts with us. We appoint one designated contact person to serve each key account customer. Key account customers
in our new home business are generally entitled to more benefits than our other customers, such as preferential service fee discounts and preferential positioning within our nationwide real estate listings. We also prepare press release and reports
for our key account customers.

Information Technology Systems and Infrastructure

We maintain most of our servers and backup servers in Beijing and Shanghai. We believe our server hosting partners provide significant
operating advantages, including high-quality bandwidth, constant room temperature and an enhanced ability to protect our systems from power loss, break-ins and other external causes of service interruption. We have not experienced any material
system failures over the past 10 years.

To better serve our website visitors, we have utilized our key proprietary
technologies and developed a technology platform that is specifically used for our real estate and home furnishing and improvement Internet portal services. The key components of our technology platform include:



| |  |  | Search platform. Our search platform is designed to support targeted searches of our listing databases. Besides the key word search
function, our search platform provides additional search functions that improve search accuracy with various search criteria, including searches based on the location, price and type of the property. In addition, our search engine is able to refine
the search by conditional filtering and aggregation of the search results.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Large-scale system infrastructure. With a combination of proprietary in-house and third-party solutions, we have designed our system to
handle large amounts of data flow with a high degree of scalability and reliability. Our distributed architecture uses parallel computing technology and clusters of low-cost computers to handle high-volume visitor traffic and process large amounts
of information.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Anti-fraud and anti-spam technology. We have also developed a proprietary anti-fraud and anti-spam system through which we are able to
detect fraudulent activities and identify and filter spam messages. We attempt to continuously improve the accuracy and effectiveness of this technology through machine-learning capability and customizable rules.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seasonality

The real
estate sector in China is characterized by seasonal fluctuations, which may cause our revenues to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. The first quarter of each year generally contributes the smallest portion of our annual revenues due
to reduced advertising and marketing activity of our customers in the PRC real estate industry during and around the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday, which generally occurs in January or February of each year. In contrast, the third quarter of each
year generally contributes the largest portion of our annual revenues due to increased advertising and marketing activity of our customers in the PRC real estate industry as most property purchases take place in September and October of each year in
terms of monthly transaction volumes. See Item 3. Key InformationRisk FactorsRisks Relating to Our BusinessYou should not rely on our quarterly operating results as an indication of our future performance because our
quarterly financial results are subject to fluctuations.

Competition

We face competition from other companies in each of our primary business activities. We compete with these companies principally on the
basis of website traffic volume, the quality and quantity of real estate and home furnishing and improvement listings and other information content, geographic coverage, service offerings and marketing and listing customers. We also compete for
qualified employees with sales, real estate, home furnishing and improvement products and services and Internet industry experience. We monitor our market share in the online advertising industry in China through market information gathered
internally as well as from independent market research institutions such as CR-Nielsen and Data Center of China Internet. Due to the nature of online residential real estate listings and the fact that the PRC market for residential real estate is a
developing industry, there is limited independent third-party information on the market share of websites that provide residential real estate listings. To help assess our competitiveness and market position, our listing services division gathers
information on the number and prices of paid online listing subscription accounts and similar information on our competitors from public sources for our internal records. Based on these internal records, we believe we are currently one of the
leading Internet portals for residential real estate listings in China.

##### Table of Contents

Some of our competitors may have greater access to capital markets, more financial and other
resources and a longer operating history than us. For instance, major general-purpose Internet portals, such as Sina.com and Sohu.com, which provide real estate and home furnishing and improvement information services, may have an advantage over us
due to their more established brand name, larger user base and extensive Internet distribution channels.

Other existing and
potential competitors include:



| |  |  | real estate and home furnishing and improvement websites offering listing and marketing services in China including real estate websites
sponsored or supported by local governments in China, which may be able to use such government connections to develop relationships with locally-active real estate developers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | traditional advertising media such as general-purpose and real estate-focused newspapers, magazines, television and outdoor advertising that
compete for overall advertising spending;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | websites focused on real estate research services in China; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | online listing service providers, including general-purpose Internet portals and regional websites dedicated to online listing. We believe the
key players in the markets for online real estate marketing and listing services in China include E-House (China) Holdings Limited (which recently acquired China Real Estate Information Corporation), Sohu.com Inc.s focus.cn, Anjuke.com,
Tencents fangqq.com, Szhome.com and House365.com.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although the barriers to entry for establishing
many types of Internet-based businesses are low, we believe that certain key features of our marketing and listing businesses, together with the complexity of Chinas real estate and home furnishing and improvement market, make it difficult for
competitors to grow quickly and compete successfully against us. Specifically, we believe our brand name in Chinas real estate and home furnishing and improvement Internet industry, the size and growth of our average daily user traffic, our
customized marketing, listing and other value-added service offerings, our ownership of what we believe is one of the largest online real estate listing databases in China in terms of geographical coverage, including content coverage of 314 urban
real estate markets in China as of December 31, 2011, and our relationships and in-depth knowledge of the real estate and home furnishing and improvement sectors provide us with an advantage over our competitors.

We believe that we and other domestic operators are likely to have a competitive advantage over international service providers who lack
operational infrastructure and experience in China. We cannot assure you, however, that this competitive advantage will continue to exist, particularly if international operators establish joint ventures with, form alliances with or acquire domestic
operators.

Intellectual Property

Our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, domain names and other intellectual property are important to our business. We rely on intellectual property laws and contractual arrangements with our key
employees and certain of our customers, collaborators and others to protect our intellectual property rights. Despite these measures, we cannot assure you that we will be able to prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which would
adversely affect our business.

We own 110 registered copyrights and own or license 120 registered trademarks in the PRC. We
have 32 trademark applications in various industry categories, pending with the PRC Trademark Office. Our application for the SouFun trademark for certain industry categories in China conflicts with existing registrations of or
applications for similar trademarks. We are in the process of resolving these conflicts, but we estimate that this process may take several years or longer. Unless and until we secure the trademark registrations for which we have applied, we may be
unable to effectively enforce our proprietary rights in connection with such trademarks or prevent the use by others of trademarks identical or similar to ours. Moreover, if the conflicting trademark applications are not resolved in our favor, we
may be unable to use part or all of our current name or trademarks in our business operations and may face civil liability for damages, including forfeiture of profits earned from illegal use of the trademark. See Item 3. Key
InformationRisk FactorsRisks Relating to Our BusinessLoss of our right to use the SouFun brand name, or unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties, and the expenses incurred in protecting our
intellectual property rights, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and competitive advantage and We may be subject to intellectual property infringement or
misappropriation claims by third parties, which may force us to incur substantial legal expenses and, if determined adversely against us, could materially disrupt our business.

We have also filed applications to register certain trademarks in a number of other
jurisdictions, including Hong Kong, Australia, France, Japan, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.

We
currently own or license 385 registered domain names, including our official website,www.soufun.com, and domain names registered in connection with www.jiatx.com and www.landlist.cn.

Facilities

Our
principal executive offices are located in approximately 10,052 sq.m. of office space in Xihuan Plaza, No. 1 Xizhimenwai Avenue, Xicheng District, Beijing 100044, China under 11 leases that are valid through December 31, 2012. As of
December 31, 2011, we leased 103 properties with an aggregate GFA of approximately 58,163 sq.m. for our local offices across China. Our leased properties mainly consist of office premises, all of which are leased from independent third parties.
We believe our existing leased premises are adequate for our current business operations and that additional space can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms to meet our future requirements. See Item 3. Key InformationRisk
FactorsRisks Relating to Our BusinessCertain of our leased property interests may be defective and we may be forced to relocate operations affected by such defects, which could cause significant disruption to our business.

We own an office building with a GFA of 325,000 square feet at 72 Wall Street, New York. The building was the former training
center of American International Group, Inc. (AIG). We acquired the building from Sahn Eagle LLC, a third party, in two transactions. We acquired from Sahn Eagle LLC a majority of the building with a GFA of approximately 237,250 square
feet for approximately US$46.0 million in July 2011. In October 2011, we acquired the remaining space of approximately 87,750 square feet in the building for an additional approximately US$14.7 million from Sahn Eagle LLC. We plan to use the
building as our global training center.

We own certain commercial properties of approximately 2,913 sq.m. in Sanya, Hainan
Province, China. We acquired these properties for RMB82.5 million (approximately US$13.1 million) pursuant to a purchase agreement which we entered into with the previous owner of these properties, Beijing Hengxinjiahua Investment Consultancy
Limited, on March 15, 2012. We plan to use these properties as our local office in Hainan as well as for internal training purposes.

Insurance

We maintain
property insurance to cover potential damages to a portion of our property. In addition, we provide medical, unemployment and other insurance to our employees in compliance with applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations. We do not maintain
insurance policies covering losses relating to our systems and do not have business interruption insurance.

Legal Proceedings

We are currently not involved in any material legal or arbitration proceedings. From time to time, we may be subject to
claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, such as intellectual property infringement claims against us for use of others articles or photographs and employment disputes. Such claims or legal actions, even if without
merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and management resources and potentially result in civil liability for damages. See Item 3. Key InformationRisk FactorsRisks Relating to Our BusinessWe may be
subject to intellectual property infringement or misappropriation claims by third parties, which may force us to incur substantial legal expenses and, if determined adversely against us, could materially disrupt our business.

Regulation

Our business
is subject to substantial regulation by the PRC government. This section sets forth a summary of certain significant PRC regulations that affect our business and the industries within which we operate.

##### Table of Contents

General

The telecommunications industry, including Internet information services and Internet access services, is highly regulated by the PRC
government. Regulations issued or implemented by the State Council, MIIT and other relevant government authorities cover virtually every aspect of telecommunications network operations, including entry into the telecommunications industry, the scope
of permissible business activities, interconnection and transmission line arrangements, tariff policy and foreign investment.

MIIT, under the leadership of the State Council, is responsible for, among other things:



| |  |  | formulating and enforcing telecommunications industry policy, standards and regulations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | granting licenses to provide telecommunications and Internet services;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | formulating tariff and service charge policies for telecommunications and Internet services;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | supervising the operations of telecommunications and Internet service providers; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | maintaining fair and orderly market competition among operators.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------

In addition to the regulations promulgated by the central PRC government, some local governments have also promulgated local rules
applicable to Internet companies operating within their respective jurisdictions.

In 1994, the Standing Committee of the
National Peoples Congress promulgated the PRC Advertising Law. In addition, SAIC and other ministries and agencies have issued regulations that further regulate our advertising business, as discussed below.

Restrictions on Foreign Ownership in the Online Advertising Industry

Internet Content Provision and Wireless Value-Added Services

In September 2000, the State Council promulgated the Telecommunications Regulations, which categorize all telecommunications
businesses in China as either basic telecommunications businesses or value-added telecommunications businesses. In February 2003, MIIT amended the original classification of telecommunications business with Internet content provision services
and wireless value-added services being classified as value-added telecommunications businesses. The Telecommunications Regulations also set forth extensive guidelines with respect to different aspects of telecommunications operations in China.

In order to comply with Chinas commitments with respect to its entry into the World Trade Organization, the State
Council promulgated the Administrative Rules on Foreign-invested Telecommunications Enterprises in December 2001, as amended in September 2008. The Administrative Rules on Foreign-invested Telecommunications Enterprises set forth detailed
requirements with respect to capitalization, investor qualifications and application procedures in connection with the establishment of a foreign-invested telecommunications enterprise. Pursuant to these administrative rules, the ultimate capital
contribution ratio of the foreign investor or investors in a foreign-invested telecommunications enterprise that aims to provide value-added telecommunications services may not exceed 50.0%. In addition, pursuant to the Foreign Investment Industrial
Guidance Catalog issued by the PRC government, the permitted foreign investment in value-added telecommunications service providers may not be more than 50.0%. However, for a foreign investor to acquire any equity interest in a value-added
telecommunications business in China, it must satisfy a number of stringent performance and operational experience requirements, including demonstrating a track record and experience in operating a value-added telecommunications business overseas.
Moreover, foreign investors that meet these requirements must obtain approvals from MIIT and MOFCOM or their authorized local counterparts, which retain considerable discretion in granting approvals.

In July 2006, MIIT publicly released the Notice on Strengthening the Administration of Foreign Investment in Operating Value-added
Telecommunications Business, or the MIIT Notice, which reiterates certain provisions under the 2002 Administrative Rules on Foreign-invested Telecommunications Enterprises. According to the MIIT Notice, if any foreign investor intends to invest in a
PRC telecommunications business, a foreign-invested telecommunications enterprise must be established and such enterprise must apply for the relevant telecommunications business licenses. Under the MIIT Notice, domestic telecommunications
enterprises may not rent, transfer or sell a telecommunications license to foreign investors in any form, nor may they provide any resources, premises, facilities and other assistance in any form to foreign investors for their illegal operation of
any telecommunications business in China.

Advertising Services

The principal regulations governing foreign ownership in advertising businesses in China include:



| |  |  | The Foreign Investment Industrial Guidance Catalog;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Administrative Regulations on Foreign-invested Advertising Enterprises; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Circular Regarding Investment in the Advertising Industry by Foreign Investors through Equity Acquisition.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These regulations require foreign entities that directly invest in the PRC advertising industry to have at least a two-year track record
with a principal business in the advertising industry outside China. Since December 2005, foreign investors have been permitted to directly own a 100% interest in advertising companies in China, but such foreign investors are also required to
have at least a three-year track record with a principal business in the advertising industry outside China. PRC laws, rules and regulations do not permit the transfer of any approvals or licenses, including business licenses containing a scope of
business that permits engagement in the advertising business. In the event we are able to qualify to acquire the equity interest in Beijing Advertising, Beijing Internet, Beijing Technology, Beijing JTX Technology, Shanghai Advertising, Shanghai
JBT, Beijing China Index, Shanghai China Index, Tianjin JTX Advertising, Beijing Li Tian Rong Ze, Tianjin Xin Rui and Beijing Yi Ran Ju Ke under the rules allowing complete foreign ownership, these PRC operating companies would continue to exist as
the operators of our advertising business consistent with the current regulatory requirements. However, as a holding company, we have not been involved in advertising outside China for the required number of years.

As a result of current PRC laws, rules and regulations that impose substantial restrictions on foreign investment in the Internet and
advertising businesses in China, we conduct this portion of our operations through a series of contractual arrangements among our PRC subsidiaries and our consolidated controlled entities.

In the opinion of, Jingtian & Gongcheng, our PRC legal counsel:



| |  |  | each of the Structure Contracts is legal, valid and binding on the contracting parties under applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the execution, delivery, effectiveness, enforceability and performance of each of the Structure Contracts do not violate any published PRC laws, rules
and regulations currently in force and effect;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | none of our Structure Contracts contravenes any published PRC laws, rules and regulations currently in force and effect; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | no filings, registrations, consents, approvals, permits, authorizations, certificates and licenses of any PRC government authorities are currently
required in connection with the execution, delivery, effectiveness, performance and enforceability of each Structure Contract, provided that the pledges of equity interests under the Structure Contracts should be registered with competent PRC
government authorities, and provided further that the exercise of the call option in the future must be approved and registered by competent PRC government authorities.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current or future PRC laws, rules and
regulations, including the laws and regulations governing the enforcement and performance of our Structure Contracts in the event of any imposition of statutory liens, bankruptcy and criminal proceedings. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the
PRC regulatory authorities will not ultimately take a contrary view from that of Jingtian & Gongcheng, our PRC legal counsel.

Regulation relating to Our Business

Internet Content Provision
Services

The provision of real estate and home furnishing and improvement and other content on Internet websites is
subject to applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations relating to the telecommunications industry and the Internet, and regulated by various government authorities, including MIIT and SAIC. The principal regulations governing the telecommunications
industry and the Internet include:



| |  |  | The Telecommunications Regulations (2000);
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | The Catalog of Classes of Telecommunications Business;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Administrative Measures for Telecommunications Business Operating Licenses; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Internet Information Services Administrative Measures.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------

Under these regulations, Internet content provision services are classified as value-added telecommunications businesses, and a commercial operator must obtain a telecommunications and information
services operating license, or ICP license, from the appropriate telecommunications authority in order to carry out commercial Internet content provision operations in China. If an Internet content provider is not engaged in commercial Internet
content operations, it is only required to file a record with the appropriate telecommunications authority. In addition, the regulations also provide that operators involved in Internet content provision in sensitive and strategic sectors, including
news, publishing, education, health care, medicine and medical devices, must obtain additional approvals from the relevant authorities in relation to those sectors.

Five of our consolidated controlled entities, Beijing Internet, Beijing China Index, Beijing Technology, Beijing JTX Technology and Beijing Advertising, each hold an ICP license issued by the Beijing
Telecommunications Administration Bureau (the municipal branch of MIIT).

The MIIT Notice requires that a value-added
telecommunications business operator (or its shareholders) must own domain names and trademarks used by it in the value-added telecommunications business, and have premises and facilities appropriate for such business. To comply with the MIIT
Notice, Beijing Technology, a consolidated controlled entity, has been registered as the owner or is applying to be the owner of the Chinese and English dual-language SouFun trademark in several categories and obtained the
www.soufun.com domain name. Beijing China Index, another consolidated controlled entity, has also been registered as the owner or is applying to be the owner of the trademark for the Chinese characters of DiGua in several
categories and obtained the www.landlist.cn domain name. All of our trademarks and domain names will be owned directly by our consolidated controlled entities.

Furthermore, according to the Tentative Measures of Internet Publication Administration, jointly issued by the General Administration of Press and Publication and MIIT in June 2002, all entities that
are engaged in Internet publication in China must obtain an approval from the General Administration of Press and Publication. Internet publication is broadly defined in the Tentative Measures for Internet Publication Administration to include any
act of online dissemination whereby any Internet content provision service provider selects, edits and processes information (including content from books, newspaper, periodicals, audio and video products and electronic publications that have
already been formally published or information that has been made public in other media) created by themselves or others and subsequently posts such information on the Internet or transmits it to users via the Internet for browsing, reading, use or
downloading by the public.

Advertising Services

SAIC is responsible for regulating advertising activities in China. The principal regulations governing advertising in China, including
online advertising, include:



| |  |  | The Advertising Law;
| | - |  | --------------------



| |  |  | The Administration of Advertising Regulations; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Implementation Rules for the Administration of Advertising Regulations.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

These regulations stipulate that companies that engage in advertising activities in China must obtain from SAIC or its local branches a
business license which specifically includes operating an advertising business within its business scope. Companies conducting advertising activities without such a license may be subject to penalties, including fines, confiscation of illegal
revenues and orders to cease advertising operations. The business license of an advertising company is valid for the duration of its existence, unless the license is suspended or revoked due to a violation of any relevant law or regulation.

##### Table of Contents

The business scope of each of Beijing Advertising, Beijing Technology, Beijing JTX
Technology, Shanghai Advertising, Beijing China Index, Beijing Internet, Tianjin JTX Advertising, Tianjin Xin Rui and Beijing Yi Ran Ju Ke includes operating an advertising business, which allows them to engage in the advertising business.

Electronic Bulletin Board Services

In October 2000, MIIT adopted the Administrative Regulations on Internet Electronic Bulletin Board Services, requiring an Internet content service provider that provides online bulletin board
services to register with, and obtain approval from, local telecommunications authorities. Currently, Beijing China Index is operating electronic bulletin board services on www.landlist.cn. Beijing Technology is operating on www.soufun.com.
On November 11, 2005 and November 6, 2006, respectively, the Beijing Telecommunications Administration Bureau issued to Beijing China Index and Beijing Technology, respectively, an approval for operating electronic bulletin board services
on www.landlist.cn and www.soufun.com, respectively. Beijing JTX Technology and Beijing Advertising also obtained approval for operating electronic bulletin board services on www.jiatx.com on June 15, 2007. These approvals each
have an original validity which is keyed to the corresponding ICP license and their continued validity is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions and qualifications.

Regulations relating to Information Security and Confidentiality of User Identity and Information

Internet content in China is also regulated and restricted from a state security standpoint. Based on a law enacted by the Standing Committee of the National Peoples Congress, any effort to
undertake the following actions may be subject to criminal punishment in China:



| |  |  | gain improper entry into a computer or system of national strategic importance;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | disseminate politically disruptive information;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | leak government secrets;
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | spread false commercial information; or
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | infringe intellectual property rights.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------

The Ministry of Public Security has also promulgated measures that prohibit the use of the Internet in ways that, among other things, result in the leakage of government secrets or the spread of socially
destabilizing content. The Ministry of Public Security has supervision and inspection powers in this regard, and we may be subject to the jurisdiction of the local security bureaus. If an ICP license holder violates these measures, the PRC
government may revoke its license and shut down its website.

The security and confidentiality of information on the identity
of Internet users are also regulated in China. The Internet Information Service Administrative Measures promulgated by the PRC State Council in September 2000 require Internet content service providers to maintain an adequate system that
protects the security of user information, and the Administrative Regulations on Internet Bulletin Board Services adopted by MIIT in October 2000 require Internet electronic bulletin board service providers to protect the security and
confidentiality of the personal information of users who use bulletin board services. In December 2005, the Ministry of Public Security promulgated the Regulations on Technical Measures of Internet Security Protection, requiring Internet
service providers to utilize standard technical measures for Internet security protection. We have been advised by Jingtian & Gongcheng, our PRC legal counsel, that both requirements are for the protection of information on the identity of
Internet users.

Regulations relating to Trademarks

Both the PRC Trademark Law and the Implementation Regulation of the PRC Trademark Law, as currently in effect, provide protection to the
holders of registered trademarks and trade names. The PRC Trademark Office handles trademark registrations and grants a renewable term of rights of 10 years to registered trademarks. In addition, trademark license agreements must be filed with
the Trademark Office.

After receiving a trademark registration application, the PRC Trademark Office will make a public
announcement with respect to the proposed trademark registration application if the relevant trademark passes the preliminary examination. Any person may, within three months after such public announcement, object to such trademark application. The
PRC Trademark Office will then decide who is entitled to the trademark registration, and its decisions may be appealed to the PRC Trademark Review and Adjudication Board, whose decision may be further appealed through judicial proceedings. If no
objection is filed within three months after the public announcement period or if the objection has been overruled, the PRC Trademark Office will approve the registration and issue a registration certificate, upon which the trademark is registered
and will be effective for a renewable 10-year period, unless otherwise revoked.

Regulations relating to Employee Share Options

Under the Stock Option Rule promulgated by SAFE in February 2012, a PRC entitys directors, supervisors, senior management officers,
other staff or individuals which have a employment or labor relationship with a Chinese entity who are granted stock options by an overseas publicly listed company which are required, through a PRC agent or PRC subsidiary of such overseas publicly
listed company, to register with SAFE and complete certain other procedures. We and our PRC resident employees who have been granted stock options are subject to these regulations. We have designated our PRC relevant subsidiaries to handle the
registration and other procedures required by the Stock Option Rule. If we or our PRC option holders fail to comply with these regulations in the future, we or our PRC option holders may be subject to fines and legal sanctions.

Regulations Relating to Foreign Investment in Value-Added Telecommunications Industry

According to the Administrative Rules for Foreign Investment in Telecommunications Enterprises issued by the State Council effective in
January 2002, as amended in September 2008, a foreign investor may hold no more than a 50% equity interest in a value-added telecommunications services provider in China and such foreign investor must have experience operating in such
industry.

C. Organizational Structure

We conduct substantially all of our operations in China through our PRC subsidiaries and consolidated controlled entities. For more information regarding the contractual arrangements among our PRC

A. Operating Results

Overview

We operate the leading real estate Internet portal in China in terms of the number of page views and visitors to our websites in 2011,
according to a report issued in March 2012 by CR-Nielsen, an independent market research institution commissioned by us. We also operate the leading home furnishing and improvement website in terms of unique visitors according to research from
CR-Nielsen. Through our websites, we provide marketing, listing, e-commerce and other value-added services and products for Chinas fast-growing real estate and home furnishing and improvement sectors. Our user-friendly websites support active
online communities and networks of users seeking information on, and other value-added services and products for, the real estate and home furnishing and improvement sectors in China. Our current service and product offerings include:



| |  |  | Marketing services: We offer marketing services on our websites, mainly through advertisements, to real estate developers in the marketing phase
of new property developments as well as to real estate agencies and home furnishing and improvement vendors who wish to promote their products and services. A substantial majority of our revenues is derived from marketing services.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Listing services: We offer basic and special listing services. Our basic listing services are mainly offered to real estate agents, brokers,
developers, property owners and managers and home furnishing and improvement vendors. Our basic listing services allow our customers to post information of their products and services on our websites. Our special listing services offer customized
marketing programs involving both online listings and offline themed events.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | E-commerce services: We launched our e-commerce services in early 2011. Through our website www.jiatx.com, we offer an online transaction
platform and related e-commerce services to home furnishing and improvement vendors in China.

We have built a large and active community of users who are attracted by the comprehensive real estate and home furnishing and
improvement content available on our portal that forms the foundation of our service offerings. According to CR-Nielsen, in 2011, our website, www.soufun.com, received a weekly average of over 10.5 million unique visitors and generated a
weekly average of over 16.3 million website visits. We currently maintain 103 offices to focus on local market needs.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Economic growth in China and in the PRC real estate market

We conduct substantially all of our business and operations in China. Accordingly, our results of operations have been, and are expected
to continue to be, affected by the general performance of Chinas economy. As a leading real estate and home furnishing and improvement Internet portal, our financial results have also been affected by the performance of the real estate and
home furnishing and improvement sectors in China.

Growth in Chinas Internet and online marketing sectors

We are an Internet portal company and a significant majority of our revenues is generated from our marketing services.
As such, our results of operations are heavily dependent on the successful and continued development of Chinas Internet and online marketing sectors. The Internet has emerged as an increasingly attractive and cost-effective advertising channel
in China, especially as the number of Internet users, disposable income of urban households and network infrastructure in China have increased.

Competition in Chinas online real estate and home furnishing and improvement Internet services

We face competition from other companies in each of our primary business activities. In particular, the online real estate and home furnishing and improvement Internet service market in China has become
increasingly competitive, and such competition may continue to intensify in future periods. As the barriers to entry for establishing Internet-based businesses are typically low, it is possible for new entrants to emerge and rapidly scale up their
operations. We expect additional companies to enter the online real estate and home furnishing and improvement Internet service industry in China and a wider range of online services in this area to be introduced.

Performance of certain geographic areas and urban centers in China

A substantial portion of our revenues is concentrated in Chinas major urban centers including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and
Guangzhou. Although our percentage of revenues from these four urban centers has decreased as we expanded our operations elsewhere in China, we expect these four urban centers to continue to represent a significant portion of our revenues in the
near term. We also plan to expand into new geographic areas and sectors. As of December 31, 2011, we had established real estate-related content, search services, marketing and listing coverage of 314 cities across China. The financial
performance of newly penetrated cities will have a substantial impact on our results of operations as we expand into new markets, as we may incur significant additional operating expenses, including hiring new sales and other personnel, in order to
expand our operations.

PRC regulations affecting the Internet, online marketing and real estate industries

The Internet, online marketing and real estate industries in China are heavily regulated. PRC laws, rules and
regulations cover virtually every aspect of these industries, including entry into the industry, the scope of permissible business activities and foreign investment. The PRC government also exercises considerable direct and indirect influence over
these industries by imposing industry policies and other economic measures. Many of these regulations have recently been implemented and are expected to be refined and adjusted over time. Moreover, the PRC government regulates interest rates, real
estate transaction taxes and the acquisition and ownership of real estate. It also regulates Internet access and the distribution of news, information or other content, as well as products and services, through the Internet. The PRC government also
levies business taxes, surcharges and cultural construction fees on advertising-related sales in China, such as sales of our marketing, listing and other value-added services. In addition, because certain of our PRC subsidiaries and consolidated
controlled entities currently qualify as high and new technology enterprises, they enjoy tax holidays from the relevant PRC tax authorities or under local governmental policies. If we were to lose such preferential tax treatment, we
would be subject to a higher enterprise income tax rate, which would have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and profitability. See Item 4. Information on the CompanyBusiness
OverviewRegulation. Political, economic and social factors may also lead to further policy refinement and adjustments. The imposition of new laws and regulations, or changes to current laws and regulations, could have a material impact
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Demand for home furnishing and improvement information
and products

As Chinas real estate market has expanded and matured, the ancillary home furnishing and
improvement industry has also been growing to meet rising consumer demand. Similarly, we have expanded our marketing and listing services to suppliers of home furnishing and improvement products and services. By adding this category of advertisers
and clients, we have been able to expand our sources of marketing and listing service revenues and, accordingly, expect our revenue growth to benefit from the continued growth of Chinas home furnishing and improvement sectors.

Basis of Presentation

To comply with applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations restricting foreign ownership of companies that operate Internet content provision and online advertising services, we operate our websites and
provide such services in China through contractual arrangements with our consolidated controlled entities. The equity interests of the consolidated controlled entities are held directly or indirectly by Mr. Mo, our founder and executive
chairman, and Mr. Dai, our president and chief executive officer, but the effective control of the consolidated controlled entities has been transferred to us through a series of Structure Contracts. We have funded these consolidated controlled
entities paid-in capital by extending loans to Mr. Mo and Mr. Dai. Pursuant to the terms of the Structure Contracts, we are obligated to bear substantially all of the risk of losses from our consolidated controlled entities
activities and are entitled to receive substantially all of their profits, if any. See Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party TransactionsRelated Party TransactionsStructure Contracts. and our consolidated
financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Based on these Structure Contracts, we believe that,
notwithstanding our lack of equity ownership, the arrangements provide us with effective control over our consolidated controlled entities. Accordingly, the financial results of these entities are included in our consolidated financial statements.

We refer to our consolidated controlled entities as PRC entities we control through contractual arrangements, or PRC Domestic
Entities, in our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this annual report.

Critical Accounting
Policies

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of each set of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each financial
reporting period. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since
the use of estimates and assumptions is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time such estimate is made, and if
different accounting estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe the following
critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The following descriptions of critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates should be read
in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and other disclosures included elsewhere in this annual report.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenues only when there is (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) the sales price is fixed or determinable; (iii) delivery of services has occurred; and
(iv) collectability is reasonably assured. We derive revenues from the provision of marketing, listing, e-commerce and other value-added services and products. To the extent that our revenues consist of multiple deliverables, we will recognize
such revenues in accordance with applicable accounting policies. Our revenues are recognized on the following bases:

Marketing Services

We offer marketing services on our websites, primarily in the form of banner advertisements, floating links, logos and other media insertions. We offer these services to real estate developers and home
furnishing and improvement product and service providers, which allows such advertisers to place advertisements on particular areas of our websites, in various particular formats and over particular periods of time. Marketing services typically last
from several days to one year. The service fees are generally payable in installments over the service period. Delivery of the service occurs upon displaying the agreed service on our websites over the specified service period. Revenue is recognized
ratably over the contract period, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured, as prescribed by ASC 605-10 Revenue Recognition: Overall.

##### Table of Contents

For certain arrangements, we provide marketing services that contain multiple deliverables,
that is, different forms of services to be delivered over different periods of time. Starting from January 1, 2011, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13 (ASU 2009-13), Multiple-Deliverable
Revenue Arrangements. We adopted this guidance on a prospective basis applicable for transactions originating or materially modified after the date of adoption. This guidance changed the criteria for separating units of accounting in
multiple-element arrangements and the way in which an entity is required to allocate the revenue to these units of accounting.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2009-13, as we sold our marketing services over a broad price range, there was a lack of objective and
reliable evidence of fair value for each deliverable included in the arrangement. Accordingly, a combined unit of accounting was used pursuant to ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition  Multiple-Element Arrangements, whereby revenue was
recognized ratably over the performance period of the last deliverable in the arrangement. Revenue from marketing services of US$235,860 would have been recognized in 2011 if those arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption
of ASU 2009-13 were still being recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance period of the last deliverable.

Subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2009-13, we account for each deliverable in the arrangement as separate unit of accounting. Revenue is
allocated to each unit of accounting on a relative fair value basis based on a selling price hierarchy and is recognized ratably over the duration of the service period. The selling price for a deliverable is based in its vendor-specific objective
evidence (VSOE) if available, third party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available, or best estimate of selling price (BESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The total arrangement consideration is allocated to
each unit of accounting based on its relative selling price which is determined based on our BESP for that deliverable because neither VSOE nor TPE exist. In determining the BESP for each deliverable, we consider our overall pricing model and
objectives, as well as market or competitive conditions that may impact the price at which we would transact if the deliverable were sold regularly on a standalone basis. We will monitor the conditions that affect its determination of selling price
for each deliverable and will reassess such estimates periodically. For contracts entered into prior to December 31, 2010 without material modification in 2011, we continue to recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the performance
period of the last deliverable.

Listing Services. Listing services comprise basic listing and special listing
services. We offer our basic or special listing services to real estate agents, brokers, developers, property owners, property managers and others seeking to sell or rent new or secondary residential and commercial properties.

Basic Listing Services. Basic listings entitle our customers to post and change information for properties, home furnishings and
other related products and services in a particular area on our websites for a specified period of time, typically ranging from one to 36 months, in exchange for a fixed fee. Delivery of services occurs by making access to our websites
available for posting by the customers over the specified listing period. In accordance with ASC 605-25, revenue is recognized ratably over the duration of the service period as the basic listing services are being delivered.

Special Listing Services. Special listing services are multiple element arrangements comprising website listing services and other
coordination of promotional themed events, such as physical forum discussion or a banquet gathering, each with the special listing as the theme, where our customers promote their products or services to a live audience. These offline
services do not have standalone value and are always sold with special listing services. Delivery of services occurs by making access to the websites available for posting by the customers over the specified listing period and upon completion of the
offline services. As the offline services do not have standalone value, a combined unit of accounting is used pursuant to ASC 605-25 whereby revenue is recognized upon delivery of the final deliverable, which is recognized
ratably over the duration of the special listing service period.

E-Commerce Services

We began to provide e-commerce services in 2011 by operating (i) an online marketplace platform which enables third-party merchants
to sell home furnishing products to customers online and (ii) an online payment platform which enables customers to make payments to third-party merchants online. We earn a commission, which ranges from 5% to 15% of the sales transaction
amount, from the third-party merchants when a transaction is completed through our marketplace and online payment platforms. When a customer places an order for home furnishing products with a third-party merchant through our marketplace platform,
the sales price and the shipping charge for the sale transaction are confirmed. Delivery of goods to a consumer will be processed by the third-party merchant after payment is made through our online payment platform. The sales transaction is
completed and we recognizes the commission earned as e-commerce services revenue upon confirmation of receipt of the home furnishing products by the consumer and remittance of the net payment to the third-party merchant through our marketplace and
online payment platforms.

Other Value-added Services and Products

We generate revenues from other value-added services, including (i) subscription services for access to our information database, (ii)
consulting services for customized and industry-related research reports and indices, and (iii) paid SouFun card membership services. We also generated revenues from sales of other value-added products, which included prepaid cards, in 2009 and
2010. Revenues derived from subscription services for access to our information database are recognized ratably over the subscription period. Revenues derived from consulting services for customized and industry-related research reports and indices
are recognized when the relevant services are completed. Our business is subject to business taxes, surcharges or cultural construction fees levied on advertising-related sales in China. In accordance with ASC 605-45, Revenue
RecognitionPrincipal Agent Considerations, all such business taxes, surcharges and cultural construction fees are presented as cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of income. Business tax and related surcharges and cultural
construction fees for 2009, 2010 and 2011 were US$10.9 million, US$17.1 million and US$21.1 million, respectively.

We began
to offer paid membership services to registered members of our SouFun cards in the first half of 2011. These services include primarily opportunities to purchase properties with discounts from our exclusive partner developers and dedicated
information and related services to facilitate property purchases. Revenues from SouFun card membership services are recognized when membership fees are received and the discounts have been applied by the members to purchase properties. The
membership fees received by us are recorded as deferred revenue before our members apply the discounts to purchase properties.

In 2009 and 2010, we sold certain prepaid cards issued by certain home furnishing and improvement vendors. We provided marketing services
to these home furnishing and improvement vendors in exchange for their prepaid cards. The significant terms of these transactions were stated in written contracts between us and the vendors. The prepaid cards contained monetary values of varying
denomination from RMB20 to RMB2,000 that could be used to purchase certain products from the vendors specified stores. The prepaid cards were not redeemable for cash from the vendors. We sold the prepaid cards, typically at a discount to their
stated monetary value, to external parties. The exchange of marketing services for prepaid cards was accounted for in accordance with ASC 845, Nonmonetary Transactions. In accordance with ASC 845-10-30, the nonmonetary transaction is
measured based on fair value of the assets (or services) involved. The fair value of the services to be provided was not determinable within a reasonable range because the service fees received had historically varied widely. The fair value of the
prepaid cards was determinable by reference to the historical cash proceeds received upon the sale of such cards to customers. We reassessed our fair value estimate periodically to reflect changes experienced in the selling prices of the prepaid
cards. Service revenue from this exchange was measured based on the fair value of the prepaid cards received and was recognized in accordance with the revenue model stated above in Marketing services. Revenue from sales of prepaid cards
was recognized when the prepaid cards were delivered to the customers and cash was received. We ceased the sale of pre-paid cards in 2010.

All service fees and prepaid cards received in advance of the provision of services are initially recorded as deferred revenue which is subsequently recognized as revenue when the related services are
performed by us.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We consider many factors in assessing the collectability of receivables due from our customers, such as the age of the amounts due, the
customers payment history and the customers creditworthiness. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which uncollectability is determined to be probable. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor,
probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators of probability that an account receivable will be uncollectable. In subsequent periods when all collection efforts have been
exhausted, the uncollectable account receivable is written off against our allowance for doubtful accounts. Where the actual outcome or expectation in the future is different from the original estimate, such differences will have an impact on the
carrying amounts of the accounts receivable and the allowance loss in the period in which such estimate has been changed.

Share-based Compensation Costs

We account for share-based awards granted to employees under ASC 718, CompensationStock Compensation: Overall. In accordance with ASC 718, we determine whether a share option should be
classified and accounted for as a liability award or an equity award. All grants of share-based awards to employees classified as equity awards are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant-date fair values, which are calculated
using the Binomial Option Pricing Model. All grants of share-based awards to employees and directors classified as liability awards are re-measured at the end of each reporting period with an adjustment for fair value recorded to the current period
expense in order to properly reflect the cumulative expense based on the current fair value of the vested awards over the vesting periods. We have elected to recognize compensation expense using the straight-line method for all employee equity
awards granted with graded vesting based on service conditions, which was not subject to performance vesting conditions.

We
use the accelerated attribution method for the equity awards with performance conditions on a tranche-by-tranche basis, based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions. To the extent the required vesting conditions are not met resulting
in the forfeiture of the share-based awards, previously recognized compensation expense relating to those awards are reversed. ASC 718-10 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if
actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. Share-based compensation expense was recorded net of estimated forfeitures such that expense was recorded only for those share-based awards that are expected to vest.

Income Taxes

We follow the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, if any. Accounting standards regarding income taxes
require a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if, based on the available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, we access the need to
establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets at each reporting period based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. We consider, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses,
forecasts of futures profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, if any, not expiring.

We apply ASC 740-10, Income Taxes: Overall, to account for uncertainties in income taxes. Interest and penalties arising from underpayment of income taxes are computed in accordance with the
related PRC tax law. The amount of interest expense is computed by applying the applicable statutory rate of interest to the difference between the tax position recognized and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
Interest and penalties recognized in accordance with ASC 740-10 are classified in our consolidated statements of income as income tax expense.

##### Table of Contents

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10, we recognize in our financial statements
the impact of a tax position if a tax return position or future tax position is more likely than not to prevail based on the facts and technical merits of the position. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are
measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

Our estimated liability for unrecognized tax benefits which is included in the accrued expenses and other liabilities account is periodically assessed for adequacy and may be affected by
changing interpretations of laws, rulings by tax authorities, changes and/or developments with respect to tax audits and expiration of the statute of limitations. The outcome for a particular audit cannot be determined with certainty prior to the
conclusion of the audit and, in some cases, the appeal or litigation process. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from our estimates. As each audit is concluded, adjustments, if any, are recorded in our financial statements. In
addition, in future periods, changes in facts, circumstances and new information may require us to adjust the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are
recognized in the period in which the changes occur.

New home business accounted for 85.1%, 82.3% and 85.4% of our marketing service revenues in 2009, 2010
and 2011, respectively. New home business primarily consists of marketing services for newly developed properties for sale. Our new home customers are largely real estate developers and their sales agents who are in the process of promoting newly
developed properties for sale.

Listing Services

Our listing service revenues consist of revenues derived from both basic listing services and special listing services. Basic listing
services are targeted at real estate agents, brokers, developers, property owners, property managers and others seeking to sell or rent new and secondary properties and allow visitors to our websites to search for product suppliers and service
providers in Chinas home furnishing and improvement sector. Revenues from basic listing services are predominantly derived from our secondary and rental business. Special listing services are tailor made marketing campaigns provided primarily
to developers marketing new property developments. We identify property developments with similar attributes and create a plan for collectively promoting such property developments in a special listing, typically in the form of an online
listing supported or supplemented by an offline event, such as a physical discussion forum or a banquet gathering, with the special listing as the theme.

In 2009, 2010 and 2011, revenues from our listing services represented 13.8%, 18.0% and 19.5% of our
revenues, respectively. We believe that listing service revenues will continue to remain a significant revenue source. We expect basic listing service revenue to grow as a percentage of our total revenues as the secondary home market continues to
grow in China. We expect special listing service revenue to grow at a slower rate than our total revenues as our special listing customers have been reducing the use of this service while increasing the use of our marketing service.

E-commerce Services

We launched our e-commerce services in early 2011. Through our website www.jiatx.com, we offer an online transaction platform and related e-commerce services to home furnishing and improvement
vendors in China. Revenues from e-commerce services represented 0.5% of our revenues in 2011.

Other Value-added Services
and Products

We also derive revenues from other value-added services and products, including subscriptions to our
information database, research reports, total web solution services and paid membership services to registered members of our SouFun cards. In addition, we sold prepaid cards issued by certain home furnishing and improvement vendors in 2009 and
2010. In 2009 and 2010, we provided marketing services to these home furnishing and improvement vendors in exchange for prepaid cards issued by them due to the impact of the financial crisis on their ability of to pay for our services. We sold the
prepaid cards, typically at a discount to their face value, to external parties. We ceased accepting prepaid cards in exchange for our marketing services in July 2010 and sold all of the remaining prepaid cards by the end of 2010. In 2009, 2010
and 2011, revenues from other value-added services and products represented 5.6%, 7.3% and 8.3% of our revenues, respectively.

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues includes cost of services and cost of other value-added services and products. Cost of services primarily consists of staff costs, business taxes and surcharges, operating lease
expenses, network costs, communication expenses, share-based compensation expenses and other costs directly related to the offering of our marketing, listing and other value-added services and products. Staff costs include salary and benefits paid
to members of our editorial staff, customer service personnel and personnel dedicated to servicing and designing websites for our customers. Business taxes and related surcharges are taxes, surcharges and cultural construction fees levied on
advertising sales in China, which are approximately 8.5% or, in Shanghai, 9.5% of our marketing service revenues and approximately 5.5% of our listing and other value-added services and products revenues. Operating lease expenses consist primarily
of rent for our various office facilities as allocated on the basis of the space occupied by our editorial staff and customer service personnel. Network costs consist of server hosting fees, bandwidth fees and related charges. Communication costs
consist of telephone expenses relating to our operations. Cost of revenues also includes share-based compensation expenses in connection with stock options and other share-based compensation granted to our editorial and production staff, and
business taxes and surcharges relating to technical and consulting service fees charged by our wholly-foreign-owned enterprises for services provided under our exclusive technical consultancy and services agreements with our consolidated controlled
entities. In 2009 and 2010, we also incurred costs of other value-added services and products relating to our sales of prepaid cards. In 2009, 2010 and 2011, our cost of revenues represented 24.7%, 27.6% and 19.4% of our revenues, respectively.

Selling Expenses

Our selling expenses primarily consist of staff costs, such as salaries and benefits paid to personnel in our sales and distribution department, operating lease expenses, which include rental expenses
related to our selling and distribution department, traveling and communication expenses, office expenses and advertising and promotion expenses, including fees we pay to other Internet portals for the purpose of promoting and increasing traffic to
our websites. Selling expenses also include other expenses incurred in relation to our selling and distribution activities and share-based compensation costs in connection with stock options and other share-based compensation granted to our sales
and marketing personnel. We expect our selling expenses to increase in the near future in line with an increase in revenues as we continue to promote our websites and our brand name.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of staff costs, such as salaries and benefits paid to our management and general administrative, product and development personnel, bad debt expense
relating to uncollectible accounts receivable, office expenses, communication expenses and other expenses in relation to general and administrative purposes, as well as website development expenses related to the maintenance of our Internet portal
browser and real estate database. Our general and administrative expenses also include share-based compensation costs in connection with share options and other share-based compensation granted to our general administrative, technical and research
personnel. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute amounts as our business continues to grow and remain relatively stable as a percentage of our revenues.

Our operating income was US$48.3 million, US$78.4 million and US$139.2 million in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, representing 38.0%, 34.9% and 40.5% of our revenues in those periods, respectively.

Cayman Islands Income Tax

Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, we are not subject to tax on our income or capital gains. In addition, the Cayman Islands
imposes no withholding tax on any dividends paid by us.

British Virgin Islands Income Tax

Our subsidiaries in the British Virgin Islands are exempted from any income tax or dividend withholding tax under the current laws of the
British Virgin Islands.

Hong Kong Income Tax

Our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong profits tax at a rate of 16.5% on assessable profits determined under the current relevant Hong Kong tax regulations. In 2009, 2010 and 2011, we did
not make any provisions for Hong Kong profit tax as we had no assessable profits derived from or earned in Hong Kong during those periods. Dividends paid by our Hong Kong subsidiaries to their shareholders are not subject to any Hong Kong
withholding tax.

According to the Avoidance of Double Taxation Arrangement between Hong Kong and Mainland China, dividends
derived by a Hong Kong resident enterprise from a PRC resident enterprise should be subject to withholding tax at the rate of 5.0%, provided that such Hong Kong resident enterprise directly owns at least 25.0% of the equity interest in the PRC
resident enterprise. However, under the New EIT Law and Circular 601, dividends from our PRC subsidiaries paid to us through our Hong Kong subsidiaries may be subject to withholding tax of 10.0% if our Hong Kong subsidiaries cannot be considered as
a beneficial owner.

Certain of our subsidiaries, including Best Scholar Holdings (Delaware) Limited, Best Work Holdings (New York) LLC and Wall Street Index
Research Center LLC, are incorporated in the United States. These companies do not conduct any substantive operations of their own. No provision for United States income tax has been made in the financial statements as the subsidiaries in the United
States have not had any income for the three years ended December 31, 2011. In addition, no dividend distributions are expected from these subsidiaries. Thus, withholding tax, if any, will be minimal.

PRC Income Tax

Prior to January 1, 2008, our PRC subsidiaries were governed by the Old EIT Law, and generally subject to enterprise income taxes at a statutory rate of 33.0%, which consists of a 30.0% national
income tax and 3.0% local income tax. Some of our subsidiaries were qualified for preferential tax treatment under the Old EIT Law.

In March 2007, the National Peoples Congress of China enacted the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the New EIT Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, all
foreign-invested enterprises and domestic enterprises, including our subsidiaries and consolidated controlled entities, are subject to enterprise income tax at a uniform rate of 25.0% if no preferential tax policy is applicable. The New EIT Law also
provided for a transition period commencing January 1, 2008 for those enterprises which were established before the promulgation of the New EIT Law and were entitled to preferential tax treatment such as a reduced tax rate or a tax holiday.
Based on the transitional rule, foreign-invested enterprises located in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Shanghai Zhangjiang High Technology Park, such as SouFun Shenzhen and SouFun Shanghai, which previously enjoyed a preferential tax rate of
15.0%, are eligible for a five-year transition period during which the income tax rate will be gradually increased to the unified rate of 25.0%. The applicable rates for SouFun Shenzhen and SouFun Shanghai would be 18.0%, 20.0%, 22.0% and 24.0% in
2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, and 25.0% in 2012 and onward. As a result of these changes in tax rates, our profitability, net income and earnings per share may be affected by the increase in the enterprise income tax rate.

In April 2008, the relevant PRC governmental authorities also released qualification
criteria and application and assessment procedures for high and new technology enterprises, which would be entitled to a statutory tax rate of 15.0%. Beijing JTX Technology, Beijing Zhong Zhi Shi Zheng, SouFun Media and SouFun Network
and Beijing Technology obtained qualification as high and new technology enterprises in May and June 2009 and may apply for renewal of such status on a three-year basis. Renewal of such status is subject to such companies continuing to
demonstrate the requisite qualifications and obtaining approval from the relevant authorities. In April 2010, following discussions with relevant PRC tax authorities on our status as a high and new technology enterprise, we paid US$9.0
million (including interest of US$1.2 million) to resolve uncertainties about our tax treatment in 2008. As there was no penalty charge relating to these payments, we did not record any penalties in relation to these payments in 2008 and 2009.
Although some of our subsidiaries and consolidated controlled entities in China qualified in years prior to 2008 for certification as high and new technology enterprises under the previous PRC enterprise income tax laws, we failed to
promptly renew such certification under the New EIT Law in 2008. As a result, these PRC entities became subject to income tax at the rate of 25.0% instead of the preferential tax rates enjoyed by high and new technology enterprises. We
engaged in discussions with the relevant PRC tax authorities to persuade them to retroactively recognize our subsidiaries and consolidated controlled entities in China as high and new technology enterprises strong supported by the state
so that we could apply the preferential tax rates to these PRC entities starting from 2008. As our request for retroactive recognition was not formally agreed to by the tax authorities, we decided to accept the 25.0% tax rate and make a lump-sum
payment of US$9.0 million to resolve any uncertainty relating to our PRC entities tax and to settle our tax liability and avoid further interest charges or any assessment of penalties. This lump-sum payment consisted of US$7.8 million relating
to income taxes owed for 2008 and interest owed on such income taxes of US$1.2 million. This payment did not include any penalties or other payments and was not a condition to or related to the receipt by certain of our subsidiaries and controlled
consolidated entities of qualification as high and new technology enterprises in 2009. During 2009, Beijing JTX Technology, Beijing Zhong Zhi Shi Zheng, SouFun Media, SouFun Network and Beijing Technology obtained qualification as
high and new technology enterprises effective from 2009 under the New EIT Law.

In April 2010, the State
Administration of Taxation, or SAT, issued Circular 157, which stated that enterprises recognized as high and new technology enterprises and eligible to enjoy the grandfathering treatments such as continuing their tax holiday under a
2007 circular 39, may choose (i) the reduced tax rate of 15.0% applicable to high and new technology enterprises or (ii) the remaining tax holiday based on the tax rates in the grandfathering period as stated in Circular 39.
They are not allowed to enjoy their remaining tax holiday based on the preferential tax rate for high and new technology enterprises of 15.0%. Circular 157 applies retroactively from January 1, 2008.

SouFun Network, Beijing Technology and Beijing JTX Technology each enjoy a three-year exemption, three-year 50% reduction
holiday as high and new technology enterprises registered in the Zhongguancun Science Park in Beijing. Pursuant to Circular 157, the income tax rates we initially used in our audited consolidated financial statements for SouFun Network,
Beijing Technology and Beijing JTX Technology were 10.0%, 10.0% and 0% for 2009, respectively, and 11.0%, 11.0% and 11.0% for 2010, respectively, instead of 7.5%, 7.5% and 0% for 2009, respectively, and 7.5%, 7.5% and 7.5% for 2010, respectively. As
we believed Circular 157 was similar to a change in tax law and should be retroactive from January 1, 2008, an additional tax expense of US$7.5 million was recognized in 2010 to account for the cumulative effect of Circular 157 for the two
years ended December 31, 2010. This additional tax expense consisted of current income tax expense of US$4.8 million and deferred tax expense of US$2.7 million.

SAT has recently informally confirmed that Circular 157 does not apply to high and new technology enterprises registered in the Zhongguancun Science Park because they enjoy a three-year exemption,
three-year 50% reduction holiday which is different from the two-year exemption from enterprise income tax followed by a three-year half reduction of enterprise income tax under Circular 39. Thus, the applicable income tax rates for
SouFun Network, Beijing Technology, and Beijing JTX Technology have been changed to 7.5%, 7.5%, 0%, respectively, for 2009 and 7.5%, 7.5%, 7.5%, respectively, for both 2010 and 2011, instead of 10%, 10%, 0%, respectively, for 2009 , 11%, 11%, 11%,
respectively, for 2010 and 12%, 12%,12%, respectively, for 2011, which had initially been applied in our audited financial statements previously. Therefore, the cumulative impact regarding the updated status of Circular 157 has been reflected in the
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. A tax expense of US$7.5 million was reversed in 2011 for the cumulative effect of unnecessary application of Circular 157 during 2009 and 2010. The reversed tax expense consists of
current income tax expense of US4.8 million and deferred tax expense of US$2.7 million. However, as SAT has not formally confirmed its above position on Circular 157 in writing, there is no assurance that SAT will not reverse or otherwise change its
above position in the future. If SAT changes its position, the tax rates applicable to us may increase and our profitability, net income and earnings per share may negatively be affected.

Moreover, under the New EIT law, if we are deemed to be a non-PRC tax resident enterprise
without an office or premises in China, a withholding tax at the rate of 10.0% will be applicable to any dividends paid by our PRC subsidiaries to us, unless we are entitled to reduction or elimination of such tax provided by applicable tax
treaties.

Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010

Revenues

Our revenues increased by 53.2% from US$224.5 million in 2010 to US$343.8 million in 2011. This increase in revenues reflected growth
across our business lines. In addition, we began paid membership services to the registered members of our SouFun cards and e-commerce business through our www.jiatx.com website in 2011, which also contributed to the increase in our revenues.

Marketing Services. Revenues from marketing services increased by 47.1% from US$167.7 million in 2010 to US$246.6
million in 2011. The increase was mainly due to an increase in revenues from new home marketing of US$72.7 million. Such increase was largely driven by increased real estate developments in level 2 cities and continuing adoption of online marketing
by real estate developers. To a lesser extent, the increase in marketing service revenues was attributable to growth in our home furnishing and improvement business driven by increased advertising spending by service providers.

Listing Services. Revenues from our listing services increased by 66.3% from US$40.4 million in 2010 to US$67.1 million in
2011, including a 71.4% increase in basic listing service revenues from US$32.3 million to US$55.4 million and a 45.5% increase in revenues from special listing services from US$8.1 million to US$11.8 million over the same periods. Listing
service revenues increased as a percentage of revenues from 18.0% in 2010 to 19.5% in 2011 as a result of increased advertising spending by real estate developers and secondary real estate market in responses to unfavorable market conditions as a
result of the PRC governments regulations to curb investment in the real estate industry.

The increase in basic
listings revenue was primarily due to an increase of US$22.9 million in listing service revenues from our secondary and rental business in all levels of cities. The growth in new subscription accounts was largely due to strong demand for listing
services supported by growing secondary real estate markets in these cities.

The increase in revenues from special listings
mainly resulted from increased advertising spending from new home developers in tier 1 and tier 2 cities.

E-commerce
Services. We launched our e-commerce services in 2011 and revenues from e-commerce services amounted to US$1.7 million in 2011.

Other Value-added Services and Products. Revenues from other value-added services and products increased by 73.2% from US$16.4 million in 2010 to US$28.4 million in 2011, primarily due to our
launch of paid SouFun card membership services in 2011, partially offset by the discontinuation of prepaid card sales in 2010. Revenue from SouFun card membership services totaled US$22.5 million in 2011. We did not sell any prepaid cards in 2011
while revenue from sales of prepaid cards totaled US$13.5 million in 2010.

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues as a percentage of our total revenues was 27.6% and 19.4% in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Our cost of revenues
increased by 7.4% from US$62.0 million in 2010 to US$66.6 million in 2011. This increase was primarily due to an increase in staff costs from US$19.1 million in 2010 to US$25.5 million in 2011, due to our hiring of additional editorial
staff and customer service personnel to support our growth. In addition, increases in business taxes, surcharges and meeting expenses and other expenses primarily due to our business growth also contributed to the increase in our cost of revenues.
We did not incur any costs of other value-added products in 2011 as we discontinued accepting prepaid cards from customers for our services in 2010, which partially offset the increase in our cost of revenues. Costs of other value-added services and
products amounted to US$12.9 million in 2010.

##### Table of Contents

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased by 70.6% from US$162.5 million in 2010 to US$277.3 million in 2011. Our
gross margin increased from 72.4% in 2010 to 80.6% in 2011, primarily due to our increasing economies of scale.

Operating
Expenses

Our operating expenses increased by 64.3% from US$84.1 million in 2010 to US$138.1 million in 2011. The
increase in our operating expenses was attributable to increases in both our selling expenses and general and administrative expenses.

Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses increased by 58.1% from US$42.5 million in 2010 to US$67.2 million in 2011, primarily due to an increase in staff costs and traveling and communication
expenses. Staff costs increased by 42.3% from US$21.4 million in 2010 to US$30.5 million in 2011, mainly due to the hiring of additional sales and marketing personnel to support our business growth. Increases in our advertising and promotion
expenses as well as our traveling and communication expenses due to our business growth also contributed to the increase in our selling expenses. Advertising and promotion expenses increased by 126.2% from US$3.7 million to US$8.3 million, and
traveling and communication expenses increased by 82.9% from US$6.3 million to US$11.5 million over the same periods.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased by 70.6% from US$41.5 million in 2010
to US$70.9 million in 2011, primarily due to increases in allowance for doubtful accounts and staff costs due to our business growth. Allowance for doubtful accounts increased by 141.2% from US$6.8 million in 2010 to US$16.4 million in 2011,
primarily reflecting the increase in our revenues, as well as the impact of the PRC governments regulations to curb investment in the real estate industry on our customers ability to pay us. Staff costs increased by 44.2% from US$18.9
million in 2010 to US$27.2 million in 2011, primarily due to our hiring of additional technical and research personnel.

Operating Income and Operating Margin

As a result of the foregoing, our operating income increased by 77.5% from US$78.4 million in 2010 to US$139.2 million in 2011. Our operating margin increased from 34.9% in 2010 to 40.5% in 2011.

Foreign Exchange Gain/(Loss)

We had a foreign exchange loss of US$0.5 million in 2010, primarily due to certain Renminbi-denominated dividend liabilities, which were repaid by June 30, 2010. We had a de minimis foreign
exchange gain in 2011.

Interest Income

Our interest income increased by 338.6% from US$2.4 million in 2010 to US$10.5 million in 2011, mainly due to the increase in amount of funds we kept in time deposits which generally offered higher
interest rates.

Interest Expenses

Our interest expenses amounted to US$2.7 million in 2011, as compared with nil in 2010, primarily due to bank loans that we borrowed in 2011.

Other-than-temporary Impairment on Available-for-sale Securities

We had other-than-temporary impairment on available-for-sale securities of US$4.3 million in 2011, as compared with nil in 2010, primarily
due to our investment in the shares of Syswin Inc. (a primary real estate service provider in China listed on the New York Stock Exchange, ticker symbol SYSW), the trading prices of which had declined significantly after our investment.

##### Table of Contents

Realized GainTrading Securities

We had realized gain of US$0.3 million in each of 2010 and 2011. These realized gains were primarily attributable to our investment
in certain wealth management products offered by commercial banks in China.

Government Grants

Our government grants increased by 89.1% from US$0.7 million in 2010 to US$1.4 million in 2011, primarily due to an increase in the
amount of government grants received by our Shanghai-based subsidiaries, as a result of an increase in the amount of business taxes assessed on these subsidiaries.

Income Before Income Taxes and Noncontrolling Interest

As a result of the
foregoing, our income before income taxes and noncontrolling interest increased by 77.2% from US$81.4 million in 2010 to US$144.2 million in 2011.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

Our income tax expense increased by 134.1%
from US$18.2 million in 2010 to US$42.6 million in 2011. The increase in our tax expenses was principally due to our increased income before income tax and the withholding tax on dividends distributed by our subsidiaries to us. See Item
10. Additional InformationA. Share Capital Regulations relating to Foreign Exchange, Taxation and Dividend DistributionTaxation and Dividend Distribution.

Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Our Noncontrolling Interests

Net loss
attributable to our noncontrolling interests amounted to US$0.3 million in 2011 as compared to net income of US$0.4 million in 2010, mainly due to a decline in the business of Beijing Information. We disposed of our 90% interest in Beijing
Information on February 8, 2012 to a third party and it was no longer consolidated within our consolidated group.

Net
Income Attributable to SouFun Holdings Limited Shareholders

As a result of the foregoing, our net income attributable to
our shareholders increased by 61.0% from US$63.1 million in 2010 to US$101.6 million in 2011. Our net income margin increased from 28.1% in 2010 to 29.6% in 2011.

Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009

Revenues

Our revenues increased by 76.7% from US$127.0 million in
2009 to US$224.5 million in 2010. This increase in revenues was reflected growth across all of our business lines.

Marketing Services. Revenues from marketing services increased by 63.8% from US$102.4 million in 2009 to
US$167.7 million in 2010. The increase was mainly due to a net increase in revenues from new home marketing business of US$50.9 million across all levels of cities. The general improvement in operating conditions in the PRC real estate
market and the continued growth and expansion of our operations in all levels of cities were the primary drivers behind the increased marketing service revenues. The growth in marketing service revenues was also supported by an increase in the
number of marketing contracts we entered into in 2010, principally as a result of strong growth in the number of contracts in smaller cities in which we operate, even though the new contracts entered into in these smaller cities generally have
shorter terms and smaller amounts than in level 1 cities. To a lesser extent, the increase in marketing service revenues was attributable to growth in our home furnishing and improvement business across all levels of cities, particularly in level 1
cities, driven by increased advertising spending by service providers as a result of improved economic conditions in China.

Listing Services. Revenues from our listing services increased by 129.8% from US$17.6 million in 2009 to US$40.4 million
in 2010, including a 180.5% increase in basic listing service revenues from US$11.5 million to US$32.3 million and a 33.3% increase in revenues from special listing services from US$6.1 million to US$8.1 million over the same
period. Listing service revenues increased as a percentage of revenues from 13.8% in 2009 to 18.0% in 2010 as a result of improved economic conditions in the PRC real estate market, which drove the growth in listing activity in the secondary homes
market.

##### Table of Contents

The increase in basic listings revenue was primarily due to an increase of
US$20.3 million in listing service revenues from our secondary and rental business across all levels of cities, which was attributable to an increase in the number of paid online listing subscription accounts from 89,826 as of December 31,
2009 to 183,473 as of December 31, 2010. The growth in new subscription accounts was largely due to strong demand for listing services supported by growing secondary real estate markets in these cities. Our basic listing service revenues and
the number of paid online subscription accounts for basic listing services are affected by the geographical market where our services are delivered and the pricing of the listing subscription accounts. In July 2009, we reduced the number of
listings allowed in each listing subscription account and repackaged our listing subscription offerings at a lower price, resulting in the number of our paid online subscription accounts increasing at a higher rate than the growth of our listing
service revenues.

The increase in revenues from special listings mainly resulted from an increase in the number of
participants at our special events, in particular at our top 100 PRC property developers event, during the first half of 2010. Compared with the year ended December 31, 2009, which was adversely affected by the global financial crisis, we were
able to hold more special listing events in 2010. Relatively better property market conditions as well as the timely hosting of themed events of interest to market participants in 2010 also resulted in higher participation as compared to the same
period in 2009.

Other Value-added Services and Products. Revenues from other value-added services and products
increased by 130.6% from US$7.1 million in 2009 to US$16.4 million in 2010, primarily due to increase in revenue received from marketing services to home decoration vendors, subscription services for access to the our information database and
consulting services for customized and industry-related research reports and indices.

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues in 2009 and 2010 as a percentage of our total revenues was 24.7% and 27.6%, respectively. Our cost of revenues
increased by 97.8% from US$31.3 million in 2009 to US$62.0 million in 2010. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the cost of other value-added services and products and increases in staff costs relating to our editorial staff and
customer service personnel. Our costs of other value-added services and products increased from US$4.9 million in 2009 to US$12.9 million in 2010, principally as a result of an increase in sales of prepaid cards. In addition, our staff
costs increased from US$9.1 million in 2009 to US$19.1 million in 2010, mainly as a result of higher headcount for our editorial staff and customer service personnel and an increase in salaries.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased by 70.0% from US$95.7 million in 2009 to US$162.5 million in 2010. Our gross margin decreased from 75.3% in 2009 to 72.4% in 2010
primarily as a result of increased costs of other value-added services as well as from increased staff costs largely due to hiring of additional editorial and production staff. We discontinued the acceptance of prepaid cards in exchange for our
marketing services in July 2010 and sold all the remaining prepaid cards by the end of 2010.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses increased by 77.5% from US$47.4 million in 2009 to US$84.1 million in 2010. The increase
in our operating expenses was mainly attributable to increases in both our selling expenses and general and administrative expenses.

Selling Expenses. Our selling expenses increased by 68.8% from US$25.2 million in 2009 to US$42.5 million in 2010, primarily due to an increase in staff costs and traveling and
communication expenses. The 82.4% increase in staff costs from US$11.8 million in 2009 to US$21.5 million in 2010 was mainly due to the hiring of additional sales and marketing personnel. As a result of the increase in headcount, our
traveling and communication expenses increased by 88.7% to US$6.3 million in 2010 from US$3.3 million in the same period in 2009.

##### Table of Contents

General and Administrative Expenses.

Our general and administrative expenses increased by 87.4% from US$22.2 million in 2009 to US$41.5 million in 2010, primarily
due to an increase in professional service fees and website development expenses. Professional service fees increased from US$0.3 million in 2009 to US$3.8 million in 2010, mainly as a result of fees paid to our professional advisors in
connection with our initial public offering. Website development expenses increased by 90.8% from US$3.2 million in 2009 to US$6.1 million in 2010, primarily due to an increase in staff costs due to an increase in headcount and salaries
paid to our technical and research personnel.

Operating Income and Operating Margin

As a result of the foregoing, our operating income increased 62.2% from US$48.3 million in 2009 to US$78.4 million in 2010. Our
operating margin decreased from 38.0% in 2009 to 34.9% in 2010, largely due to the drop in gross margins from the increased sale of lower margin prepaid cards.

Foreign Exchange Gain/(Loss)

We had a foreign exchange loss of
US$0.01 million in 2009 and a foreign exchange loss of US$0.5 million in 2010, primarily due to outstanding Renminbi-denominated dividend liabilities that will be repaid no later than June 30, 2011, in each case related to exchange
rate fluctuations of the Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar.

Interest Income

Our interest income increased by 98.3% from US$1.2 million in 2009 to US$2.4 million in 2010, mainly due to the increase in
amount of funds we kept in time deposits.

Realized GainTrading Securities

We recognized a gain of US$0.2 million in 2009 and US$0.3 million in 2010 from sales of our investment in a structured note with
a maturity of less than one year and aggregate principal amount of US$7.6 million issued by a financial institution.

Government Grants

Our government grants increased by 1.4% from US$0.73 million in 2009 to US$0.74 million in 2010, primarily due to an increase in the amount of government grants received by our Shanghai-based
subsidiaries, as a result of an increase in the amount of business taxes assessed on these subsidiaries.

Income Before
Income Taxes and Noncontrolling Interest

As a result of the foregoing, our income before income taxes and noncontrolling
interest increased by 61.4% from US$50.4 million in 2009 to US$81.4 million in 2010.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

We incurred income tax benefit of US$2.2 million in 2009 and income tax expense of US$18.2 million in 2010.
Although we enjoyed preferential corporate income tax rates due to the status of certain of our PRC subsidiaries as high and new technology enterprises  in 2010, the increase in our tax expenses was principally the result of a one-off
income tax expense provision of US$7.5 million due to the impact of Circular 157.

In April 2010, SAT issued
Circular 157, which seeks to provide additional guidance on the interaction of certain preferential tax rates under the transitional rules of the New EIT Law. Prior to the issuance of Circular 157, three of our subsidiaries were entitled to pay
income tax at a lower rate, and would be required to pay income tax at a higher rate pursuant to Circular 157, which has a retroactive effect and would apply to our 2009 tax year. As a consequence of Circular 157, we recorded a one-off income tax
expense of US$7.5 million, which consisted of a current income tax expense of US$4.8 million and a deferred tax expense of US$2.7 million recorded in the second quarter of 2010.

##### Table of Contents

SAT has recently informally confirmed that Circular 157 does not apply to high and new
technology enterprises registered in the Zhongguancun Science Park. Pursuant to SATs confirmation, the applicable income tax rates for SouFun Network, Beijing Technology, and Beijing JTX Technology are changed to 7.5%, 7.5%, 0%, respectively,
for 2009 and 7.5%, 7.5%, 7.5%, respectively, for both 2010 and 2011, instead of 10%, 10%, 0%, respectively, for 2009 , 11%, 11%, 11%, respectively, for 2010 and 12%, 12%,12%, respectively, for 2011, which had initially been applied in our audited
financial statements previously. Accordingly, a tax expense of US$7.5 million was reversed in 2011 for the cumulative effect of unnecessary application of Circular 157 during 2009 and 2010. The reversed tax expense consists of current income tax
expense of US$4.8 million and deferred tax expense of US$2.7 million. This has been appropriately reflected in the 2011 financial statements. See Item 3. Key InformationRisk FactorsRisks Relating to Our BusinessThe
discontinuation of any of the preferential tax treatments currently available to us in China could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and Results of OperationsTaxationPRC
Income Tax.

Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Our Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to a 10.0% equity interest in Beijing Information that is not directly or indirectly owned by us changed from net
loss US$0.42 million in 2009 to net income US$0.4 million in 2010, mainly as a result of an increase in the net income from Beijing Information.

Net Income Attributable to SouFun Holdings Limited Shareholders

As a
result of the foregoing, our net income attributable to our shareholders increased by 19.9% from US$52.7 million in 2009 to US$63.1 million in 2010. Our net income margin decreased from 41.4% in 2009 to 28.1% in 2010.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through internally generated cash and equity financings. As of December 31, 2011, we had approximately US$150.4 million in cash and cash
equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash and bank deposits. All of our investments with original stated maturities of 90 days or less are classified as cash and cash equivalents. All of our investments with original
stated maturities of greater than 90 days and less than 365 days are classified as short-term investments. As of December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, we had short-term investments of US$28.6 million, US$62.4 million and US$8.6
million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2011, we had short term borrowings of US$255.6 million, consisting of US
dollar denominated bank borrowings of US$50.0 million and US$205.6 million from commercial banks in Singapore and Hong Kong, respectively. These bank borrowings are repayable on demand and bear interest at interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 1.9%
to LIBOR plus 3.1%. These bank borrowings are secured by bank deposits of approximately US$54.1 million and US$229.4 million, respectively, placed with the respective PRC branches of these banks. The cash deposits pledged for the bank borrowings
will be released when we are required to repay the bank borrowings. These pledged deposits are classified as restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheets.

We believe that our working capital is sufficient for our present requirements. We may, however, seek additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including
selling debt securities or additional equity securities or obtaining credit facilities to meet our cash needs. See Item 3. Key InformationRisks FactorsRisks Relating to Our ADSsWe may need additional capital, and the
sale of additional ADSs or other equity securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders, while the incurrence of debt may impose restrictions on our operations.

Net Cash Generated from Operating Activities

We had net cash generated by operating activities of US$155.3 million in 2011, which was primarily attributable to our net income of
US$101.6 million during this period, and an increase in advances from customers of US$12.3 million as a result of more advances from our marketing and basic listing customers. This was partially offset by an increase of US$19.8 million in our
accounts receivable due to the expansion of our business operations.

We had net cash generated by operating activities of
US$106.5 million in 2010. This was primarily attributable to our net income of US$63.1 million during this period, an increase in advances from customers of US$26.4 million as a result of more advances from our marketing and basic
listing customers, and an increase in accrued but unpaid income tax payable of US$11.0 million. This was partially offset by an increase of US$14.6 million in our accounts receivable due to the expansion of our business operations.

We had net cash generated by operating activities of US$66.0 million in 2009. This was primarily attributable to our net income of
US$52.6 million during this period, an increase in advances from customers of US$12.8 million as a result of more advances from our marketing and basic listing customers, and an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities of US$7.9
million due primarily to an increase in other taxes and surcharges payable as a result of increased gross revenues and an accrued unrecognized tax benefit. This was partially offset by an increase of US$7.1 million in our accounts receivable
due to the expansion of our business operations.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Our net cash used in investing activities was US$20.2 million in 2011. This was primarily attributable to a US$60.1 million increase in
buildings and land mainly from the purchase of the former AIG training center in New York, a US$204.2 million increase in short-term investments in the form of time deposits in China, and a US$14.8 million loan to Dandong Yuanlong Villa Management
Company. These amounts were partially offset by an increase in cash proceeds received from the maturity of short-term investments of US$258.4 million relating to our time deposits in China.

Our net cash used in investing activities was US$46.1 million in 2010. This was primarily attributable to a US$97.0 million
increase in short-term investments in the form of time deposits in China, a loan of US$10.6 million to Beijing Pujin Finance Company, an independent third party, for a term of six months with an interest rate of 10% per annum, acquisition
of property and equipment of US$5.6 million, deposits for purchase of non-current assets of US$4.6 million and acquisition of an available-for-sale security of US$5.0 million. These amounts were partially offset by an increase in cash
proceeds received from the maturity of short-term investments of US$68.9 million relating to our time deposits in China and a decrease in amount due from related parties of US$7.6 million.

Our net cash used in investing activities was US$12.0 million in 2009. This was primarily attributable to a US$35.9 million
increase in short-term investments in the form of time deposits in China and a change in the amount due from related parties of US$6.8 million relating to an entrusted loan of US$7.3 million to CNED Hengshui Zhongcheng Wanyuan Home Co.,
Ltd., or Hengshui, a PRC company 51%-owned by Mr. Mo, our founder and executive chairman, and 49%-owned by independent third parties, with the intention of providing commitment deposits to Hengshui to secure exclusive future marketing and
listing business from Hengshui. The loan to Hengshui bore an interest rate of 10.0% per annum. The loan to Hengshui matured and was repaid on May 5, 2010. See Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions. These
amounts were partially offset by an increase in cash proceeds received from the maturity of short-term investments of US$32.2 million relating to our time deposits in China.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Our net cash used in financing activities was US$161.6 million in 2011, primarily due to repayment of short-term loans of US$3.6
million, dividend payments to our shareholders of US$142.2 million, and an increase in restricted cash pledged security for short-term bank borrowings of US$277.3 million. These amounts were partially offset by proceeds from short-term bank
borrowings of US$255.6 million and proceeds from the exercise of share options of US$6.0 million.

Our net cash received from
financing activities in 2010 was US$14.4 million. This was attributable to proceeds from exercise of share options of US$0.3 million, proceeds from initial public offering of US$10.5 million and proceeds from a short-term loan of
US$3.6 million to fund the deposit for purchase of the former AIG training center referred to above. In March of 2011, we incurred US$45.0 million bank loan as additional funding for the purchase of the training center and to repay the
short term loan. The bank loan will mature on March 14, 2014.

Our net cash used in financing activities in 2009 was
US$24.8 million. This was attributable to dividend payments to our shareholders of US$24.2 million.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures were US$1.6 million, US$5.6 million and US$60.1 million in 2009, 2010 and 2011,
respectively. In 2009, our capital expenditures were primarily related to the purchase of servers, computer equipment and other office equipment relating to our operations as well as renovations of our offices. In 2011, our capital expenditure was
primarily related to the purchase of the former AIG training center in New York. The increase in capital expenditures from US$1.6 million in 2009 to US$5.6 million in 2010 was mainly due to the decoration and purchase of fixed assets as a
result of the new offices and also the expansion of current offices. The increase in capital expenditures from US$5.6 million in 2010 to US$60.1 million in 2011 was primarily due to the purchase of the former AIG training center in New York. In
addition, we expect our capital expenditures to increase in the future as our business continues to develop and expand as we make further improvements to our websites and our services.

Inflation

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the
change in the consumer price index in China was -0.7%, 3.3% and 5.4% in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Recent inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations. However, we cannot assure you that we will not be adversely
affected by inflation or deflation in China in the future.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

We have a team of experienced engineers who are mostly based at our headquarters in Beijing. We recruit most of our engineers locally and
have established various recruiting and training programs with leading universities in China. We compete aggressively for engineering talent to help us address challenges such as Chinese language processing, information retrieval and high
performance computing. In each of the three years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, our research and development expenditures, including share-based compensation expenses for research and development staff, were US$3.2 million,
US$6.1 million and US$10.4 million, representing 2.5%, 2.7% and 3.0% of our total revenues in 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

D. Trend Information

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this annual report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events for the period from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011
that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our net revenues, income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that caused the disclosed financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results
or financial conditions.

E. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have any outstanding off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments. We have no plans to enter into transactions
involving, or otherwise form relationships with, unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or commitments.

September 1, 1999, our shareholders approved the stock-related award incentive plan, or the Plan. The number of options awarded to a person was based on the persons potential ability to contribute to our success, the persons
position with us and other factors deemed relevant and necessary by our board of directors. Under the Plan, we awarded to several of our employees and directors options to purchase 9,874,672 ordinary shares of our Company. Options generally do not
vest unless the grantee remains under our employment or in service with us on the given vesting date. However, the Plan provides that in circumstances where there is a change in the control of our Company, if no substitution or assumption is
provided by the successor corporation, the outstanding options will automatically vest and become exercisable for a period of 30 days, after which such options will terminate. The termination date for the options granted is 10 years after
the date of grant.

On August 31, 2006, Telstra International acquired 55.1% of our equity interest (assuming all
outstanding options have not been exercised) and became a significant shareholder of our Company, which resulted in a change in control event as defined in the Plan. Pursuant to a shareholders agreement among our then existing shareholders, we
assumed all the options that were granted under the Plan and remained valid prior to the change in control event.

a.
Standard Stock Options

From September 1, 1999 to September 30, 2006, we awarded standard stock options
exercisable to acquire Class A or Class B ordinary shares of our Company. All standard stock options were granted to employees and directors and vested over the requisite service periods of three to four years using a graded vesting. The
maturity life of the standard stock options was 10 years originally. On April 20, 2010, our board of directors resolved to extend the maturity life of the standard stock option 10 years to 15 years.

From 2001 to 2003, we awarded 1,739,500 standard stock options, classified as liability awards, with exercise prices ranging from HK$1.00
to HK$5.00. In April 2010, we agreed with the grantees to modify the Hong Kong dollar exercise currency to U.S. dollars. The modified exercise prices of these options range from US$0.13 to US$0.64.

b. Special Stock Options

We have awarded 15,711,200 special stock options to our employees and directors, with exercise prices ranging from US$2.50 to US$5.31, since December 31, 2006. Terms for special stock options are the
same as standard stock options, except that two special stock options are exercisable into one Class A ordinary share. These special stock options vest 10% after the first year of service, 20% after the second year of service, 40% after the
third year of service and 30% after the fourth year of service, except for special stock options granted in September 2010, which vest 20.0% after the first year of service, 20.0% after the second year of service, 30.0% after the third year of
service and 30.0% after the fourth year of service. The maturity life of the special stock options is 10 years.

Our
board of directors may amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time, provided, however, that our board of directors must first seek the approval of our shareholders and, if such amendment, alteration, suspension or termination would
adversely affect the rights of an optionee under any option granted prior to that date, the approval of such optionee. Without further action by our board of directors, our Plan has no specified termination date.

2010 Stock Incentive Plan

We adopted our 2010 stock incentive plan, or the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, on August 4, 2010. The purpose of our 2010 stock incentive plan is to recognize and acknowledge the contributions made to
our Company by eligible participants and to promote the success of our business. By providing an opportunity to have a personal stake in our Company, our 2010 Stock Incentive Plan aims to:



| |  |  | attract and retain the best available personnel;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to provide an additional incentive to our employees, directors and consultants; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to promote the success of the Companys business.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------

To date, we have awarded 8,000,000 options under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, which are exercisable into 4,000,000 Class A
ordinary shares, with an exercise price per share ranging from US$12.24 to US$15.95.

a. Eligible Participants

Under our 2010 stock incentive plan, our board of directors or its designated committee may, at its discretion, offer to
grant an option to subscribe for such number of our ordinary shares at an exercise price as our directors may determine to the following parties:



| |  |  | any full-time or part-time employees, executives or officers of us, our parent or any of our subsidiaries;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any directors, including non-executive directors and independent non-executive directors, of us, our parent or any of our subsidiaries;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any advisers, consultants and agents to us or any of our subsidiaries; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | such other persons who, in the sole opinion of our board of directors or its designated committee, has made contributions to the business or
other development of us.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

b. Maximum Number of Ordinary Shares

The maximum number of ordinary shares in respect of which options may be granted (including ordinary shares in respect of which options,
whether exercised or still outstanding, have already been granted) under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan may not in the aggregate exceed 10% of the total number of ordinary shares in issue from time to time, including ordinary shares issuable upon
conversion of any preferred shares in issue from time to time. The maximum number of ordinary shares in respect of which we may grant options (including ordinary shares in respect of which options, whether exercised or still outstanding, have
already been granted) under our 2010 stock incentive plan as of December 31, 2011 was 7,815,057 ordinary shares.

c.
Price of Ordinary Shares

The determination by our board of directors, or its designated committee, of the subscription
price will be by reference to the fair market value of the ordinary shares. If there exists a public market for our ordinary shares, including our ADSs, the fair market value of our ordinary shares will be (i) the closing price for the last
market trading day prior to the time of the determination (or, if no closing price was reported on that date, on the last trading date on which a closing price was reported) on the stock exchange determined by our board of directors, or its
designated committee, to be the primary market for our ordinary shares or ADSs or (ii) if the ordinary shares are not traded on any such exchange or national market system, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of an ordinary shares
on the NYSE for the day prior to the time of the determination (or, if not such prices were reported on that date, on the last date on which such prices were reported), in each case, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the
board of directors or its appointed committee deems reliable. If there is no established market for our ordinary shares, our board of directors, or its designated committee, will determine the fair market value of our ordinary shares in good faith
by reference to the placing price of the latest private placement of our ordinary shares and the development of our business operations since such latest private placement.

d. Performance Criteria

The 2010 Stock Incentive Plan allows our board of
directors, or its designated committee, to establish the performance criteria when granting stock options on the basis of any one of, or combination of, increase in our share price, earnings per share, total shareholder return, return on equity,
return on assets, return on investment, net operating income, cash flow, revenue, economic value added, personal management objectives, or other measures of performance selected by our board of directors, or its designated committee. Partial
achievement of the specified criteria may result in a vesting corresponding to the degree of achievement as specified in the award agreement with the relevant optionee.

e. Time of Exercise of Options

The time and conditions under which an option may be exercised will be determined by the board of directors, or its designated committee,
under the terms of the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan and as specified in the award agreement with a grantee, but in no case will options be exercisable at a rate of more than one fourth per year over the vesting period from the date the options are
granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any options granted to an officer, director or consultant that may become exercisable, the award agreement governing such grant may provide that the options may become exercisable, subject to
reasonable conditions such as the officer, director or consultants continuous service at any time or during any period established in the award agreement governing such grant.

f. Administration

Our board of directors, or a committee designated by our board of directors, will administer the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan. Decisions by our board of directors or a committee designated by our board of
directors as to all matters arising in relation to the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan or its interpretation or effect are final and binding on all parties.

g. Termination

Unless terminated earlier, the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan
will continue for a term of 10 years. Our board of directors has the authority to amend or terminate the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan subject to shareholder approval with respect to certain amendments. However, no such action may impair the rights
of any grantee of any options unless agreed by the grantee.

The following table summarizes, as of April 20, 2012, the
outstanding options that we granted to our current directors and executive officers.

C. Board

Board of Directors

Our board of directors consists of seven members. A director is not required to hold any shares in our Company by way of qualification. A director may vote with respect to any contract or transaction in
which he or she is materially interested provided the nature of the interest is disclosed prior to its consideration and any vote on such contract or transaction. Our board of directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money,
mortgage its business, property and uncalled capital, and issue debentures or other securities whenever money is borrowed or as security for any obligation of the company or of any third party. None of our non-executive directors has a service
contract with us that provides for benefits upon termination of employment.

Under Cayman Islands law, our directors have a duty of loyalty to act honestly in good faith with a view to our best interests. Our
directors also have a duty to exercise the care, diligence and skills that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our amended and

| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No director or officer may be directly involved in decisions regarding his or her own compensation.

Pursuant to the investors rights agreement by and among General Atlantic, Apax, Next Decade, Media Partner and Digital
Link dated August 13, 2010 in connection with the private placement by Telstra International, or the Investors Rights Agreement, each of General Atlantic and Apax is entitled to nominate one director to our board so long as each of them,
together with its affiliates, owns at least 10.0% of our outstanding Class A ordinary shares. Pursuant to the Investors Rights Agreement, the directors nominated by General Atlantic and Apax shall also serve on our audit committee,
compensation committee and nomination and corporate governance committee, or if this arrangement is not permitted under any laws, rules and regulations, be permitted to participate as non-voting observers in such committees. Immediately after the
closing our initial public offering, we appointed a director nominated by General Atlantic and a director nominated by Apax to our board, and such directors also serve at our audit committee, compensation committee and nomination and corporate
governance committee. See Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party TransactionRelated Party TransactionsTelstra Private PlacementInvestors Rights Agreement.

Terms of Directors and Executive Officers

Each of our directors holds office until a successor has been duly elected and qualified unless the director was appointed by our board of directors, in which case such director holds office until the
following annual meeting of shareholders, at which time such director is eligible for reelection. All current directors have been appointed pursuant to shareholder resolutions. Accordingly, none of the existing directors require reelection at an
annual meeting of shareholders.

D. Employees

We had 3,611, 5,868 and 7,600 employees as of December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. The following table sets forth the number of our employees categorized by function as of

Our employees receive a base salary and are eligible for performance-based bonuses. We have
granted share options to certain of our employees. For more information, see Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and EmployeesCompensationShare Options.

As required by PRC regulations, we participate in various employee benefit plans that are organized by municipal and provincial
governments, including housing, pension, medical and unemployment benefit plans. We make monthly payments to these plans for each of our employees based on the employees compensation.

We believe we maintain a good working relationship with our employees and we have not experienced any significant labor disputes. We
believe this is primarily attributable to our well-established reputation and brand name within the PRC real estate industry, our strong corporate culture, as well as the positive career development opportunities we provide to our employees. Our
employees have not entered into any collective bargaining agreements, and no labor union has been established by our employees.

Structure Contracts

To comply with applicable PRC laws, rules and

Internet, Beijing Advertising, Beijing China Index, Beijing Technology, Beijing JTX Technology, Tianjin JTX Advertising, Shanghai Advertising, Shanghai China Index, Shanghai JBT, Beijing Li Tian Rong Ze, Tianjin Xin Rui and Beijing Yi Ran Ju Ke. The
Structure Contracts include:

Exclusive Technical Consultancy and Services Agreements

Each of our consolidated controlled entities has entered into an exclusive technical consultancy and services agreement with SouFun Media,
SouFun Network and/or Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng. Under these agreements, SouFun Media, SouFun Network or Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng, as the case may be, has the exclusive right to provide the consolidated controlled entities with relevant technical
services relating to the consolidated controlled entities business, such as IT system operations and maintenance services, or technology supporting services for the consolidated controlled entities advertising products. In exchange for
these services, each of our consolidated controlled entities has agreed to make monthly payments to the service provider for such services. The original term of each agreement is 10 years and SouFun Media, SouFun Network or Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng
can unilaterally extend the term of the exclusive technical consultancy and services agreements and such request will be unconditionally agreed to by our consolidated controlled entities.

Equity Pledge Agreements

In order to secure the payment obligations of
each consolidated controlled entity under the exclusive technical consultancy and services agreements described above, except as disclosed below, the direct shareholders of each consolidated controlled entity, Mr. Mo, Mr. Dai, Beijing
Internet and Beijing Advertising, as the case may be, have pledged to SouFun Media, SouFun Network or Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng their entire respective ownership interests in such consolidated controlled entity. Upon the occurrence of certain events
of default specified in these agreements, to SouFun Media, SouFun Network or Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng, as applicable, may exercise its rights and foreclose on the pledged equity interest. Under these agreements, the shareholders may not transfer the
pledged equity interest without the prior written consent of to SouFun Media, SouFun Network or Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng, as the case may be. Each of SouFun Media, SouFun Network or Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng, as the case may be, also has the right to
collect dividends of the relevant consolidated controlled entity from the shareholders of the consolidated controlled entities. The agreements will also be binding upon successors of the shareholders and transferees of the pledged equity interest.

We are currently in the process of registering the relevant equity pledges with SAIC pursuant to the PRC Property Rights Law
with respect to the equity pledge agreement among Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng, Mr. Mo. and Mr. Dai and the equity pledge agreement among SouFun Media, Mr. Mo and Mr. Dai. We may not be able to enforce the equity pledges against any
third parties who acquire the equity interests in either Beijing JTX Technology or Beijing Yi Ran Ju Ke before each of the pledge is registered.

Operating Agreements

Each of our consolidated controlled entities and such
consolidated controlled entitys shareholders have entered into an operating agreement with SouFun Media, SouFun Network or Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng. Under each of these agreements, SouFun Media, SouFun Network and Beijing Hong An Tu Shen have

In turn, each consolidated controlled entity is required to pledge its accounts receivable and mortgage all of its assets as counter-security to SouFun Media, SouFun Network or Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng. Our consolidated controlled entities and their
direct shareholders, Mr. Mo, Mr. Dai, Beijing Internet and Beijing Advertising, as the case may be, have each agreed not to enter into any transaction that would substantially affect the assets, rights, obligations or operations of such
consolidated controlled entity without the prior written consent of SouFun Media, SouFun Network or Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng. The original term of each agreement is 10 years. The agreements can be extended prior to expiration with written
confirmation from SouFun Media, SouFun Network or Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng, or can be terminated by SouFun Media, SouFun Network or Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng, upon 30 days advance notice.

SouFun Network or Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng to exercise their respective rights as shareholders of such consolidated controlled entity to attend shareholders meetings and cast votes. SouFun Media, SouFun Network and Beijing Hong An Tu Sheng may
assign part or all of these proxy rights to its designated employees, and will be indemnified for any loss under this agreement. These agreements will also be binding upon successors of the parties or transferees of the parties equity
interests. Each agreement will remain in effect until terminated upon written consent by all the parties to the agreement or by their successors.

Shareholders Agreement

On August 31, 2006, the Company, Telstra International, Next Decade, Media Partner, Digital Link Investments Limited, Mr. Mo,
Mr. Shan Li, Mr. Dai and IDG Technology Venture Investment Inc. (collectively, the Shareholders), entered into a shareholders agreement. Under the terms of the shareholders agreement, holders of registrable
securities have piggyback registration rights, which may require us to register all or any part of the registrable securities then held by such holders when we register any of our ordinary shares or other securities in connection with
the public offering of such securities solely for cash, but excluding any registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in any of our stock plans or a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same
information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the registrable securities.

Registrable securities include our ordinary shares held by the Shareholders or issuable to them upon conversion of any other securities
convertible into our ordinary shares. Prior to the filing of any registration statement we must notify all Shareholders in writing and provide them with an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the registrable
securities held by them. If any of the offerings involves an underwriting, we will not be required to include any registrable security of a holder in such underwriting unless such holder accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between
us and the underwriter(s) selected by us and enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected by us. The managing underwriter of any such offering has certain rights to limit the number of our ordinary shares
included in such registration. However, the number of registrable securities included in an underwritten public offering subsequent to our initial public offering pursuant to the piggyback registration rights may not be reduced to less
than 30% of the aggregate securities included in such offering. If a Shareholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, it may withdraw from the underwriting by providing written notice to us and any underwriters at least 10 business
days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. If such Shareholder decides not to include its registrable securities in such registration statement, such Shareholder will continue to have the right to include any registrable
securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by us with respect to future offerings of securities.

subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Such option has not been exercised to date.

Investors Rights Agreement

In connection with the private placement by Telstra International in September 2010, we entered into an investors
rights agreement with General Atlantic, Apax, Next Decade, Media Partner and Digital Link, dated August 13, 2010, or the Investors Rights Agreement.

Pursuant to the Investors Rights Agreement, each of General Atlantic and Apax is entitled to nominate one director to our board so long as each of them, together with its affiliates, owns at least
10.0% of our outstanding Class A ordinary shares. Pursuant to the Investors Rights Agreement, the directors nominated by General Atlantic and Apax shall also serve on our audit committee, compensation committee and nomination and
corporate governance committee, or if this arrangement is not permitted under any laws, rules and regulations, be permitted to participate as non-voting observers in such committees. Immediately after the closing our initial public offering, we
appointed a director nominated by General Atlantic and a director nominated by Apax to our board, and such directors also serve at our audit committee, compensation committee and nomination and corporate governance committee.

Under the Investors Rights Agreement, subject to certain limited exceptions, each of General Atlantic and Apax has agreed that it
will not transfer more than 5.0% of our share capital to a competitor of ours without the prior written consent of our board of directors. Each of General Atlantic, Apax, Next Decade, Media Partner and Digital Link will have a right of first refusal
if one of the other parties proposes to sell more than 10.0% of our share capital in a single private transaction or a series of related private transactions.

Moreover, in the event that we propose to issue any additional securities in the form of capital stock or convertible debt for the primary purpose of raising equity capital, we will offer each of General
Atlantic and Apax the right to purchase its pro rata share of such additional securities on the same terms as the additional securities are to be issued, at least 15 business days prior to the consummation of such transaction. In the event we
receive a formal acquisition proposal, we must notify General Atlantic and Apax of such proposal and General Atlantic and Apax will have 15 business days to submit an alternative proposal.

##### Table of Contents

We have made certain representations and warranties to each of General Atlantic and Apax
regarding our business and the accuracy of the disclosure included in the registration statement on Form F-1 filed in connection with our initial public offering, and the private placement memorandum related to the Telstra Private Placement. We have
also agreed to indemnify General Atlantic and Apax for any losses up to US$20.0 million each (or, in the event of fraud or willful or intentional misconduct, up to the aggregate purchase price paid under the Share Purchase Agreement by General
Atlantic or Apax, as applicable) arising out of any breach by us of any representations, warranties or covenants contained in the Investors Rights Agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement

We entered into a registration rights
agreement with General Atlantic and Apax dated August 13, 2010, or the Registration Rights Agreement. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, General Atlantic and Apax have demand registration rights pursuant to which we will be required to
effect the registration of all or a portion of General Atlantics and/or Apaxs Class A ordinary shares, provided that the aggregate price of registrable securities to be sold to the public is expected to equal or exceed
US$20.0 million. Each of General Atlantic and Apax will be entitled to a total of two demand registrations (registrations to be effected under a registration statement on Form F-3 are not counted as demand registrations). We will not be
required to effect a demand registration within any six-month period following the effective date of any registration statement pertaining to Class A ordinary shares or ADSs (other than certain registration statements on Form F-4 or with
respect to any employee benefit plan).

We will have the right to preempt any demand registration with a primary registration,
in which case General Atlantic and Apax will have incidental registration rights as described below. Once we are eligible to use Form F-3, General Atlantic and Apax will have the right to require us to register its Class A ordinary shares on a
Form F-3. We will not be required to comply with any demand to file a Form F-3 in certain circumstances, including if the aggregate proceeds expected to be received from the sale of securities requested to be included in the Form F-3 is less than
US$5.0 million or if we have effected two registrations on Form F-3 within the last 12 months pursuant to a request by General Atlantic or Apax under the Registration Rights Agreement. We have agreed to pay certain expenses in connection
with any demand or Form F-3 registration.

General Atlantic and Apax also have the right to request that their Class A
ordinary shares be included in any registration of our Class A ordinary shares, other than registrations on Form F-4 or S-8 or in compensation or acquisition-related registrations. In addition, the underwriters may, for marketing reasons, cut
back all or a part of the shares General Atlantic or Apax have requested to be registered in any incidental registration and we will have the right to terminate any registration we initiated prior to its effectiveness regardless of any request for
inclusion by the holders.

Dividend Policy

Our board of directors has the discretion over whether to pay dividends on our ordinary shares. If our board of directors decides to pay
dividends on our ordinary shares, the form, frequency and amount will be based upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, shareholders interests, contractual restrictions and such
other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant. For a description of our corporate structure and its potential impact upon our ability to pay dividends, see Item 3. Key InformationRisk FactorsRisks Relating to Doing
Business in ChinaWe rely primarily on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries, and any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material adverse effect on our ability to
conduct our business as well as our liquidity.

Holders of ADSs are entitled to receiving dividends, subject to the
terms of the deposit agreement, to the same extent as the holders of our ordinary shares. Cash dividends, if any, will be paid to the depositary in U.S. dollars and paid to holders of ADSs according to the terms of the deposit agreement. Other
distributions, if any, will be paid by the depositary to holders of ADSs in any means it deems legal, fair and practical. Under the deposit agreement, the depositary is required to distribute dividends to holders of ADSs unless such distribution is
prohibited by law. The amounts distributed to holders will be net of fees, expenses, taxes and other governmental charges payable by holders under the deposit agreement.

In 2007, 2009 and 2011, we declared dividends of RMB350.0 million (US$47.9 million), RMB300.0 million (US$43.9 million) and US$154.5 million, respectively, to our shareholders. Our shareholders
subsequently agreed to reduce the 2007 dividend to RMB300.0 million (US$41.1 million). Approximately US$1.7 million of these dividends currently remain unpaid, which we intend settle by the end of June 2012.

Regulations relating to Foreign Exchange, Taxation and Dividend Distribution

Foreign Exchange

The principal regulation governing foreign
exchange in China is the Foreign Currency Administration Regulations and the Regulations of Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange. The Renminbi is freely convertible for current account transactions, such as trade and service-related
foreign exchange transactions, but not for capital account transactions, such as direct investments, loans or investments in securities outside China, without the prior approval of SAFE. Pursuant to the Foreign Currency Administration Regulations,
foreign-invested enterprises in China may purchase foreign exchange at authorized commercial banks without the approval of SAFE for trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions by providing commercial documents evidencing these
transactions. They may also retain foreign exchange, subject to a cap approved by SAFE, to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities or to pay dividends. However, the relevant PRC government authorities may limit or eliminate the ability of
foreign-invested enterprises to purchase and retain foreign currencies in the future. In addition, foreign exchange transactions for capital accounts are still subject to limitations and require approval from SAFE.

Taxation and Dividend Distribution

We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, we are not subject to income or capital gains tax. In addition, dividend payments are not subject to withholding
tax in the Cayman Islands.

In March 2007, the National Peoples Congress of China enacted the New EIT Law, which took
effect on January 1, 2008. Under the New EIT Law, since January 1, 2008, foreign-invested enterprises, such as our subsidiaries and consolidated controlled entities, are subject to enterprise income tax at a uniform rate of 25.0% if no tax
preferential policy is applicable. In addition, under the New EIT Law, enterprises organized under the laws of jurisdictions outside China may be classified as either non-resident enterprises or resident enterprises.
Non-resident enterprises without an establishment or place of business in China are subject to withholding tax at the rate of 10.0% with respect to their PRC-sourced dividend income, which rate can be reduced under applicable double tax treaties or
arrangements. As we are incorporated in the Caymans Islands, we may be regarded as a non-resident enterprise. We hold equity interests in several of our major PRC subsidiaries indirectly through subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong,
including primarily Bravo Work, China Index Academy and China Home Holdings (HK) Limited. According to the Avoidance of Double Taxation Arrangement between Mainland China and Hong Kong, dividends declared by a resident enterprise in mainland China
to a Hong Kong resident enterprise should be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 5.0%, provided, however, that such Hong Kong resident enterprise directly owns at least 25.0% of the equity interest in the PRC resident enterprise.

In August 2009, SAT issued Circular 124. Pursuant to Circular 124, non-tax residents of China who wish to enjoy a treaty benefit on their
China-sourced income under a Sino-foreign double tax agreement have to go through either an approval application procedure (for passive incomedividends, interest, royalties and capital gains) or record filing procedure
(for active incomebusiness profits of a permanent establishment, service fees and personal employment income) in which specific forms attached to Circular 124 have to be submitted to the relevant Chinese tax authorities together with the
relevant supporting documentation. Circular 124 provides details of the procedures and documentation requirements. Pursuant to Circular 124, we must submit application to and obtain approval from authorized Chinese tax bureaus to enjoy the reduced
withholding tax rate for our Hong Kong-incorporated holding companies with respect to the dividends income derived from the PRC subsidiaries.

In addition, SAT released Circular 601 in October 2009. Circular 601 provides guidance for the determination of beneficial ownership for the purpose of claiming benefits under double taxation
arrangements by treaty residents in respect of articles of dividends, royalties and interest under double taxation arrangements. Under Circular 601, a beneficial owner shall generally engage in substantive business activities
which is further referred to as manufacturing, trading and management activities under Article 1 of Circular 601. Circular 601 also sets forth several factors, the existence of which generally does not provide support that the treaty resident
is a beneficial owner. The following are two of the unfavorable factors listed in Circular 601: the treaty resident does not have or almost does not have any other business activities besides ownership of the assets or rights that
generate the income; where the treaty resident is a corporation, the amount of its assets, scale of operations and number of employees is limited and does not commensurate with the amount of its income. According to Circular 601, non-resident
enterprises which could not provide valid supporting documents as beneficiary owners could not be approved to enjoy treaty benefits. Therefore, dividends from our PRC subsidiaries paid to us through our Hong Kong subsidiaries may be
subject to a withholding tax rate of 10.0% if our Hong Kong subsidiaries cannot be considered as a beneficial owner under Circular 601.



-86-

##### Table of Contents

Despite the above, the New EIT Law also provides that an enterprise incorporated outside
China with its de facto management bodies located within mainland China should be considered a PRC resident enterprise and therefore be subject to enterprise income tax on its worldwide income at the rate of 25.0%.

The implementing rules for the New EIT Law defines de facto management organization as the body that exercises substantial
and comprehensive control over the production, operation, personnel, accounting, property and other factors of an enterprise. SAT issued Circular 82 in April 2009. Circular 82 provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the de
facto management bodies of a Chinese-controlled offshore-incorporated enterprise is located in China. Although Circular 82 only applies to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises, not those controlled by PRC individuals or
foreigners in China, like us, the determining criteria set forth in Circular 82 may reflect SATs general position on how the de facto management bodies test should be applied in determining the tax resident status of offshore
enterprises, regardless of whether they are controlled by PRC enterprises, individuals or foreigners.

Substantially all
members of our management are currently located in China and we expect them to continue to be located in China for the foreseeable future. Therefore, if we are deemed to be a PRC tax resident enterprise, we will be subject to an enterprise income
tax rate of 25.0% on our worldwide income if no preferential tax treatment is applicable. According to the New EIT Law and its implementing rules, dividends are exempted from income tax if such dividends are received by a resident enterprise on
equity interest it directly owns in another resident enterprise. Therefore, it is possible that dividends we derive through our Hong Kong subsidiaries from our PRC subsidiaries would be tax exempt income under the New EIT Law if our Hong Kong
subsidiaries are also deemed to be resident enterprises.

If we are deemed to be a PRC tax resident enterprise, we
would then be obliged to withhold PRC withholding income tax on the gross amount of dividends declared to shareholders who are non-PRC tax residents. The withholding income tax rate is 10.0%, unless otherwise provided under the applicable double tax
treaties between China and governments of other jurisdictions.

Although the New EIT Law has been effective for more than four
years, significant uncertainties still exist with respect to the interpretation of the New EIT Law and its implementing rules. Any increase in the enterprise income tax rate applicable to us, the imposition of PRC income tax on our global income or
the imposition of withholding tax on dividends declared by our subsidiaries to us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Regulations relating to Foreign Exchange in Certain Onshore and Offshore Transactions

In October 2005, SAFE issued Notice 75. To further clarify and simplify the implementation of Notice 75, SAFE issued the Implementing Rules Relating to the Administration of Foreign Exchange in
Fund-Raising and Round-trip Investment Activities of the Domestic Residents Conducted via Offshore Special Purpose Companies, or Notice 19, effective on July 1, 2011. Under Notice 75 and Notice 19, PRC residents, whether natural or legal
persons, must register with the relevant local SAFE branches prior to their establishment, or prior to their taking control of, an offshore entity established for the purpose of overseas equity financing involving onshore assets or equity interests
held by them, and must also make filings with SAFE afterwards upon the occurrence of certain material capital changes. Moreover, Notice 75 applies retroactively. As a result, PRC residents who have established or acquired control of offshore
entities that have made onshore investments in China in the past are required to complete the relevant registration procedures with local SAFE branches. The registration and filing procedures under Notice 75 are prerequisites for other approval and
registration procedures necessary for capital inflow from offshore entities, such as inbound investments or shareholders loans, or capital outflow to offshore entities, such as the payment of profits or dividends, liquidating distributions, equity
sale proceeds, or the return of funds upon a capital reduction. SAFE has further clarified that the term PRC residents as used under Notice 75 refers to those who (i) have permanent residence in mainland China or will return to
mainland China for permanent residence after temporary leave due to traveling, education, medical treatment, working, request for residence, and other reasons; (ii) hold domestic-funding interests in domestic entities; or
(iii) are the ultimate holders of foreign-fund interests that have been converted from domestic-funding interests.

---

##### Table of Contents

Because of uncertainty over how Notice 75 will be interpreted and implemented, we cannot
predict how it will affect our business operations or future strategies. If SAFE determines that Notice 75 applies to us, our present and prospective PRC subsidiaries ability to conduct foreign exchange activities, such as any remittance of
dividends or foreign currency-denominated borrowings, may be subject to compliance with Notice 75 requirements by our PRC resident shareholders. We cannot assure you that our PRC resident shareholders will be able to complete the necessary
registration and filing procedures required by Notice 75. If Notice 75 is determined to apply to us or any of our PRC resident shareholders, a failure by our PRC resident shareholders or beneficiary owners to comply with Notice 75 could subject the
relevant PRC residents or beneficiaries to penalties under PRC foreign exchange regulations, and could subject us to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our subsidiaries ability to make
distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could materially and adversely affect our business and prospects.

E. Taxation

Cayman Islands
Taxation

The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or
appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments
executed in, or after execution brought within the jurisdiction of, the Cayman Islands. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

PRC Taxation

PRC Taxation Relating to Us and Our Corporate Group

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. We hold our equity interests in our subsidiaries in the PRC primarily through
our subsidiary holding companies incorporated in Hong Kong. Our business operations are principally conducted through the consolidated controlled entities. The New EIT Law and its implementation rules, both of which became effective on
January 1, 2008, provide that China-sourced income of foreign enterprises, such as dividends paid by a PRC resident enterprise to non-PRC resident enterprise shareholders, will normally be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of 10.0%,
unless there are applicable tax treaties that reduce such rate. According to the Avoidance of Double Taxation Arrangement between Mainland China and Hong Kong, dividends declared by a resident enterprise in mainland China to a Hong Kong resident
enterprise should be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 5.0%, provided, however, that such Hong Kong resident enterprise directly owns at least 25.0% of the equity interest in the PRC resident enterprise. Accordingly, any dividends from our PRC
subsidiaries paid to us through our Hong Kong subsidiaries will likely be subject to a withholding tax at the rate of 5.0% under the Avoidance of Double Taxation Arrangement.

Pursuant to Circular 124, however, we must submit an application to and obtain approval from authorized Chinese tax bureaus to be able to claim the benefits of the Avoidance of Double Taxation
Arrangement. Pursuant to Circular 124, non-tax residents of China who wish to enjoy a treaty benefit on their China-sourced income under a Sino-foreign double tax agreement have to go through either an approval application procedure (for
passive incomedividends, interest, royalties and capital gains) or record filing procedure (for active incomebusiness profits of a permanent establishment, service fees and personal employment income) in which specific forms
attached to Circular 124 have to be submitted to relevant Chinese tax authorities together with relevant supporting documentation. Therefore, we must submit an application to and obtain approval from authorized Chinese tax bureaus to enjoy of the
reduced withholding tax for our Hong Kong-incorporated holding companies with respect to dividend income derived from our PRC subsidiaries.

In addition, in October 2009, SAT further issued Circular 601. According to Circular 601,
non-resident enterprises which could not provide valid supporting documents as beneficiary owners could not be approved to enjoy treaty benefits. Therefore, dividends from our PRC subsidiaries paid to us through our Hong Kong
subsidiaries may be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10.0% if our Hong Kong subsidiaries cannot be considered a beneficial owner under Circular 601.

The implementing rules for the New EIT Law define de facto management organization as the body that exercises substantial and comprehensive control over the production, operation, personnel,
accounting, property and other factors of an enterprise. The PRC SAT issued the Notice Regarding the Determination of Chinese-Controlled Offshore-Incorporated Enterprises as PRC Tax Resident Enterprises on the Basis of De Facto Management Bodies, or
Circular 82, in April 2009. Circular 82 provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the de facto management bodies of a Chinese-controlled offshore-incorporated enterprise is located in China. Although Circular 82 only
applies to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises, not those controlled by PRC individuals or foreigners, like us, the determining criteria set forth in Circular 82 may reflect SATs general position on how the de facto
management bodies test should be applied in determining the tax resident status of offshore enterprises, regardless of whether they are controlled by PRC enterprises, individuals or foreigners.

Substantially all members of our management are currently located in China and we expect them to continue to be located in China for the
foreseeable future. Consequently, we may be deemed to be a PRC tax resident enterprise and therefore be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25.0% on our worldwide income if no preferential tax treatment is applicable. According to the New
EIT Law and its implementing rules, dividends are exempted from income tax if such dividends are received by a resident enterprise on equity interest it directly owns in another resident enterprise. Therefore, it is possible that the dividends we
receive from our PRC subsidiaries would be tax-exempt income under the New EIT Law if our Company or our subsidiary holding companies through which we hold our equity interests in our PRC subsidiaries are deemed to be resident
enterprises.

If we are deemed to be a PRC tax resident enterprise, we would then be obliged to withhold PRC withholding
income tax on the gross amount of dividends we paid to shareholders who are non-PRC tax residents. The withholding income tax rate is 10.0%, unless otherwise provided under the applicable double tax treaties between China and governments of other
jurisdictions.

Although the New EIT Law and its implementing rules have been effective for several years, significant
uncertainties still exist with respect to the interpretation of the New EIT Law and its implementing rules. Any increase in the enterprise income tax rate applicable to us, the imposition of PRC income tax on our global income or the imposition of
withholding tax on dividends distributed by our subsidiaries to us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In April 2010, SAT announced Circular 157 stating that enterprises recognized as high and new technology enterprises and eligible for the grand-fathering treatments such as continuing their
tax holiday under Circular 39 may choose (i) the reduced tax rate of 15.0% applicable to high and new technology enterprises or (ii) the remaining tax holiday based on the tax rates in the grandfather period as stated in
Circular 39. They are not allowed to enjoy their remaining tax holiday based on the preferential tax rate for high and new technology enterprises of 15.0%. Circular 157 applies retroactively from January 1, 2008.

SouFun Network, Beijing Technology and Beijing JTX Technology each enjoy a three-year exemption, three-year 50% reduction
holiday as high and new technology enterprises registered in the Zhongguancun Science Park. Pursuant to Circular 157, the income tax rates we initially used in our audited consolidated financial statements for SouFun Network, Beijing
Technology and Beijing JTX Technology were 10.0%, 10.0% and 0% for 2009, respectively, and 11.0%, 11.0% and 11.0% for 2010, respectively, instead of 7.5%, 7.5% and 0% for 2009, respectively, and 7.5%, 7.5% and 7.5% for 2010, respectively. As we
believe Circular 157 is similar to a change in tax law and should be retroactive from January 1, 2008, an additional tax expense of US$7.5 million was recognized in 2010 to account for the cumulative effect of Circular 157 for the two years
ended December 31, 2010. This additional tax expense consisted of current income tax expense of US$4.8 million and deferred tax expense of US$2.7 million.

##### Table of Contents

SAT has recently informally confirmed that Circular 157 does not apply to high and new
technology enterprises registered in the Zhongguancun Science Park because they enjoy a three-year exemption, three-year 50% reduction holiday which is different from the two-year exemption from enterprise income tax followed by a
three-year half reduction of enterprise income tax under Circular 39. Thus, the applicable income tax rates for SouFun Network, Beijing Technology, and Beijing JTX Technology are changed to 7.5%, 7.5%, 0%, respectively, for 2009 and 7.5%, 7.5%,
7.5%, respectively, for both 2010 and 2011, instead of 10%, 10%, 0%, respectively, for 2009 , 11%, 11%, 11%, respectively, for 2010 and 12%, 12%,12%, respectively, for 2011, which had initially been applied in our audited financial statements
previously. Therefore, the cumulative impact regarding the updated status of Circular 157 has been reflected in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. A tax expense of US$7.5 million was reversed in 2011 for the
cumulative effect of unnecessary application of Circular 157 during 2009 and 2010. The reversed tax expense consists of current income tax expense of US4.8 million and deferred tax expense of US$2.7 million.

PRC Taxation Relating to Our Overseas Shareholders

The implementation rules of the New EIT Law provide that (i) if the enterprise that distributes dividends is domiciled in the PRC or (ii) if gains are realized from transferring equity interests
of enterprises domiciled in the PRC, then such dividends or capital gains are treated as China-sourced income. It is not clear how domicile may be interpreted under the New EIT Law, and it may be interpreted as the jurisdiction where the
enterprise is a tax resident. Therefore, if we or our offshore subsidiary holding companies through which we indirectly hold our equity interests in our PRC subsidiaries are considered to be PRC resident enterprises for tax purposes, any dividends
we pay to our overseas shareholders or ADS holders as well as gains realized by such shareholders or ADS holders from the transfer of our shares or ADSs may be regarded as PRC-sourced income and as a result become subject to PRC withholding tax at
the rate up to 10.0% unless a reduced rate is provided under the applicable double tax treaty. See Item 3. Key InformationRisk FactorsRisks Relating to Our ADSsWe may be required to withhold PRC income tax on any
dividend we pay you, and any gain you realize on the transfer of our ordinary shares and/or ADSs may also be subject to PRC withholding tax.

United States Federal Income Taxation

The following discussion describes
the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our ADSs or ordinary shares under currently applicable law. This discussion does not address any U.S. federal consequences other than U.S. federal income tax
consequences (such as the gift or estate tax). This discussion also does not address any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences of an investment in our ordinary shares or ADSs. This discussion applies to you only if you are a U.S. holder (as
defined below) and beneficially own our ordinary shares or ADSs as capital assets for tax purposes. This discussion does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, such as:



| |  |  | dealers in securities or currencies;

This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the
Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. In addition, this
discussion relies in part on our assumptions regarding the projected value of our shares and the nature of our business. Finally, this discussion is based in part upon the representations of the depositary and the assumption that each obligation in
the deposit agreement and any related agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms.

You should consult your own
tax advisor concerning the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our ordinary shares or ADSs, as well as the consequences to you arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

For purposes of the U.S. federal income tax discussion below, you are a U.S. holder if you beneficially own our
ordinary shares or ADSs and are:



| |  |  | a citizen or resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation, that was created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any
political subdivision of the United States;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a trust, if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S.
persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) the trust has a valid election in effect to be treated as a U.S. person.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If a partnership or other flow-through entity holds ordinary shares or ADSs, the tax treatment of a partner or other owner will generally
depend on the status of the partner or other owner and the activities of the partnership or other flow-through entity. A holder of ordinary shares or ADSs that is a partnership or a partner in such partnership should consult its own tax advisor
regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the ordinary shares or ADSs.

ADSs. If you hold ADSs, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you generally will be treated as the owner of the underlying
ordinary shares that are represented by such ADSs. Accordingly, deposits or withdrawals of ordinary shares for ADSs will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.

Dividends on Ordinary Shares or ADSs. We do not anticipate paying dividends on our ordinary shares or indirectly on our ADSs in the foreseeable future. See Item 8. Financial
InformationDividend Policy.

Subject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, discussion below, if we
do make distributions and you are a U.S. Holder, the gross amount of any distributions (including amounts withheld to reflect PRC withholding taxes, if any) you receive on your ordinary shares or ADSs are generally treated as dividend income if the
distributions are made from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, calculated according to U.S. federal income tax principles. Such income (including any withheld taxes) will be includable in your gross income on the day actually or
constructively received by you, in the case of ordinary shares, or by the depositary in the case of ADSs. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent
of your basis in the ordinary shares or ADSs and thereafter as a capital gain. If you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, including an individual, and have held your ADSs for a sufficient period of time, dividend distributions paid before
January 1, 2013 on our ADSs (but not our ordinary shares) will generally constitute qualified dividend income taxed at a preferential rate (generally 15.0%) as long as our ADSs continue to be readily tradable on the New York Stock Exchange.
Based on existing guidance, it is not clear whether a dividend on an ordinary share will be treated as a qualified dividend, because the ordinary shares are not themselves listed on a U.S. exchange. Unless legislation to the contrary is enacted,
dividends paid on or after January 1, 2013 will be taxed at ordinary income rates. You should consult your own tax adviser as to the rate of tax that will apply to you with respect to dividend distributions, if any, you receive from us.

##### Table of Contents

We do not intend to calculate our earnings and profits according to U.S. tax accounting
principles. Accordingly, notwithstanding the discussion in the preceding paragraph, distributions on our ordinary shares or ADSs, if any, will generally be taxed to you as dividend distributions for U.S. tax purposes. If you are a corporation, you
will not be entitled to claim a dividends-received deduction with respect to distributions you receive from us. In the event we are treated as a PRC resident enterprise under PRC law, we may be required to withhold PRC income tax on
dividends paid to you under the New EIT Law. See Item 3. Key InformationRisk FactorsRisks Relating to Our ADSsWe may be required to withhold PRC income tax on any dividend we pay you, and any gain you realize on the
transfer of our ordinary shares and/or ADSs may also be subject to PRC withholding tax. Subject to generally applicable limitations, you may be eligible to claim a deduction or a foreign tax credit for PRC tax withheld at the appropriate rate.
Dividends generally will be categorized as passive category income or, in the case of some U.S. holders, as general category income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. The rules governing the use of foreign tax
credits are very complex, and you are urged to consult your own tax adviser as to your ability, and the various limitations on your ability, to claim foreign tax credits in connection with the receipt of dividends.

Sales and Other Dispositions of Ordinary Shares or ADSs. Subject to the PFIC discussion below, when you sell or otherwise dispose
of ordinary shares or ADSs in a taxable transaction, you will generally recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or other taxable disposition and your adjusted tax basis in the
ordinary shares or ADSs, both as determined in U.S. dollars. Any gain or loss you recognize will be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the ordinary shares or ADSs for more than one year at the time of disposition. If you are an
individual, long-term capital gain will be taxed at preferential rates. Your ability to deduct capital losses will be subject to various limitations.

The gain or loss you recognize on a sale or disposition of our ordinary shares or ADSs generally will be treated as arising from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation
purposes. However, if gains from the disposition of ordinary shares or ADSs are taxed under the New EIT Law, see Item 3. Key InformationRisk FactorsRisks Relating to Our ADSsWe may be required to withhold PRC income tax
on any dividend we pay you, and any gain you realize on the transfer of our ordinary shares and/or ADSs may also be subject to PRC withholding tax, the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC may apply to treat such gains as
arising from sources within China for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to you under your particular circumstances if any PRC withholding tax is imposed on the
disposition of ordinary shares or ADSs, including the availability of the foreign tax credit.

Status as a PFIC. If we
are a PFIC in any taxable year in which you hold ordinary shares or ADSs, you will generally be subject to additional taxes and interest charges on certain excess distributions we make and on any gain realized on the disposition or
deemed disposition of your ordinary shares or ADSs, regardless of whether we continue to be a PFIC in the year in which you receive an excess distribution or dispose of or are deemed to dispose of your ordinary shares or ADSs.
Distributions in respect of your ordinary shares or ADSs during a taxable year will generally constitute excess distributions if, in the aggregate, they exceed 125% of the average amount of distributions in respect of your ordinary
shares or ADSs over the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the portion of your holding period before such taxable year.

To compute the tax on excess distributions or any gain, (1) the excess distribution or the gain will be allocated ratably to each day in your holding period, (2) the amount allocated to the
current year and any tax year before we first became a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income in the current year, (3) the amount allocated to other taxable years will be taxable at the highest applicable marginal rate in effect for that year,
and (4) an interest charge at the rate for underpayment of taxes for any period described under (3) above will be imposed with respect to any portion of the excess distribution or gain that is allocated to such period. In addition, if we
are a PFIC or were in the year prior to a distribution, no distribution that you receive from us will qualify for taxation at the preferential rate discussed in the United States Federal Income TaxationU.S. Holders Dividends on
Ordinary Shares or ADSs section above.

##### Table of Contents

We will be classified as a PFIC in any taxable year if either: (1) 75.0% or more of our
gross income for the taxable year is passive income (such as certain dividends, interest, rents or royalties), or (2) the average percentage value (determined on a quarterly basis) of our gross assets during the taxable year that produce
passive income or are held for the production of passive income is at least 50.0% of the value of our total assets. For purposes of the asset test, any cash, cash equivalents, cash invested in short-term, interest bearing, debt instruments, or bank
deposits, and any other current asset that is readily convertible into cash, will generally count as a passive asset.

We
operate an active online real estate and home furnishing and improvement Internet portal in China and do not believe we were a PFIC for our 2011 taxable year or that we are likely to become one in any future taxable years. We have no current
intention to change the general manner in which we organize or conduct our business in later taxable years. Our expectations are based on assumptions as to our projections of the value of our outstanding shares and of the other cash that we will
hold and generate in the ordinary course of our business. We have not conducted a separate appraisal of the values of our assets for this purpose. Despite our expectations, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC in any future taxable
years, as PFIC status is re-tested each year and depends on the actual facts in such year. We could be a PFIC, for example, if our market capitalization (i.e., our share price multiplied by the total number of our outstanding ordinary shares) at any
time in the future is lower than projected, or if our business and assets evolve in ways that are different from what we currently anticipate. In addition, though we believe that our assets and the income derived from our assets do not generally
constitute passive assets and income under the PFIC rules, there is no assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, will agree with us.

If we are a PFIC in any year, as a U.S. holder, you may be required to file a return on IRS Form 8621 regarding your ordinary shares or ADSs. In addition, recently enacted legislation will require
you, as a U.S. holder, to file an annual information return containing such information as the Secretary of the Treasury may require. You should consult your own tax adviser regarding reporting requirements with regard to your ordinary shares or
ADSs.

The ADSs will be marketable as long as they remain regularly traded on a national securities exchange, such
as the New York Stock Exchange. As a result, if we are a PFIC in any year so long as the ADSs are and remain marketable, you will be able to avoid the excess distribution rules described above by making a timely so-called
mark-to-market election with respect to your ADSs. If you make this election in a timely fashion, you will generally recognize as ordinary income or ordinary loss the difference between the adjusted tax basis of your ADSs on the first
day of any taxable year and their value on the last day of that taxable year. Any income resulting from this election and any gain realized on a sale of such stock will generally be taxed at ordinary income rates and will not be eligible for the
reduced rates of tax applicable to qualified dividend income or long-term capital gain. Any ordinary losses will be limited to the extent of the amount, if any, of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election, reduced by
such losses recognized in prior years. Your basis in the ADSs will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss. If you make a mark-to-market election, it will be effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and for all subsequent
taxable years, unless the ADSs are no longer regularly traded on a qualified exchange or the IRS consents to the revocation of the election.

In addition, if we are a PFIC in any year, you might be able to avoid the excess distribution rules described above by making a timely so-called qualified electing fund, or QEF, election to be
taxed currently on your pro rata portion of our income and gain. However, we do not intend to provide the information that would be necessary for you to make a QEF election.

You should consult with your tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding ADSs or ordinary shares if we are considered to be a PFIC in any taxable year as well as your
eligibility for a mark-to-market election and whether making such an election would be advisable to you in your particular circumstances.

Additional Tax on Investment Income

For taxable years beginning after
December 31, 2012, if you are an individual, estate or trust and whose income exceeds certain thresholds, you will be subject to a 3.8% Medicare contribution tax on unearned income, including, among other things, dividends on, and capital gains
from, the sale or other taxable disposition of, your ordinary shares or ADSs, subject to certain limitations and exceptions.

U.S. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Rules

In general, dividend payments with respect to the ordinary shares or ADSs and the proceeds received on the sale or other disposition of
those ordinary shares or ADSs may be subject to information reporting to the IRS, and to backup withholding (currently imposed at a rate of 28.0%, which such rate is scheduled to increase to 31% for payments made on or after January 1, 2013).
Backup withholding will not apply, however, if you (1) are a corporation or come within certain other exempt categories and, when required, can demonstrate that fact or (2) provide a taxpayer identification number, certify as to no loss of
exemption from backup withholding and otherwise comply with the applicable backup withholding rules. To establish your status as an exempt person, you will generally be required to provide certification on IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8.
Any amounts withheld from payments to you under the backup withholding rules will generally be allowed as a refund or a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that you timely furnish the required information to the IRS.

You may be required to report information with respect to your ordinary shares or ADSs not held through a custodial account
with a U.S. financial institution to the IRS. In general, if you hold specified foreign financial assets (which generally would include ordinary shares or ADSs) with an aggregate value exceeding $50,000, you will be required to report
information about those assets on new IRS Form 8938, which must be attached to your annual income tax return. Higher asset thresholds apply if you file a joint tax return or reside abroad. If you fail to report required information, you could become
subject to substantial penalties. These disclosure requirements are effective for taxable years beginning after March 18, 2010 (which, for a U.S. individual taxpayer who has a calendar taxable year, would include the taxable year ending
December 31, 2011). You should consult your own tax advisor regarding your obligation to file new IRS Form 8938.

You
should consult your own tax advisor regarding the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular situations as well as any additional tax consequences resulting from purchasing, holding or disposing of ordinary shares or ADSs,
including the applicability and effect of the tax laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction, including estate, gift, and inheritance laws.

H. Documents on display

We have previously filed with the SEC our registration statement on Form F-1 (File Number 333-169170), as amended, and a prospectus under
the Securities Act with respect to our ordinary shares represented by our ADSs, and a related registration statement on Form F-6 (File Number 333-169176) with respect to our ADSs, as amended. We have also filed with the SEC a Form S-8 (File Number
333-173157) with respect to our ADSs, as amended.

We are subject to the periodic reporting and other informational
requirements of the Exchange Act. Under the Exchange Act, we are required to file reports and other information with the SEC. Specifically, we are required to file annually a Form 20-F within four months after the end of each fiscal year for fiscal
years ending on or after December 15, 2011. Copies of reports and other information, when so filed, may be inspected without charge and may be obtained at prescribed rates at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at 100 F Street,
N.E., Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information regarding the Washington, D.C. Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains a web site at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports,
proxy and information statements, and other information regarding registrants that make electronic filings with the SEC using its EDGAR system.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules of the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of quarterly reports and proxy statements, and our executive officers, directors and
principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements
with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

Information

ITEM 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk associated with short and long-term borrowings bearing variable interest rates and lease payments under leases tied to floating interest rates. To
manage this interest rate exposure, we enter into interest rate swap and cap agreements. We are also exposed to foreign currency risk, which can adversely affect our operating profits.

##### Table of Contents

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Notes 1, 2, 11 and 14 to our
audited consolidated financial statements contained in this annual report, which provide further information on our debt and derivative instruments contained in this annual report.

Liquidity Risk

The principal method we use to manage liquidity risk
arising from liabilities is maintaining an adequate level of cash and cash equivalents with different banks. In 2009, 2010 and 2011, we monitored our liquidity risks by considering the maturity of our financial assets and projected cash flows from
operations. Our objective is to maintain a balance between a continuity of funding and flexibility through settlement from customers and subsequent payment to vendors to meet our working capital requirements.

Interest Rate Risk

Our earnings are affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact of such changes on interest income and expense from
interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities. Our interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities are predominately denominated in Renminbi and U.S. dollars. Our financial assets consist primarily of cash deposits with fixed interest rates
and receivables. Therefore, our exposure to interest rate risks has been insignificant.

Foreign Currency Risk

Substantially all of our revenues, cash and cash equivalent assets, costs and expenses, are denominated in Renminbi, and the functional
currency of our principal operating subsidiaries and consolidated controlled entities is the Renminbi. On the other hand, a portion of our expenditures are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the U.S. dollar, and we use the U.S. dollar as
our functional and reporting currency. The ADSs are also traded in U.S. dollars. As a result, the value of your investment in our ADSs will be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly appreciation or depreciation in the value of the
Renminbi relative to the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies, without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. For example, if the Renminbi had weakened 5.0% against the U.S. dollar with all other
variables held constant, our profit for the relevant periods would have been US$2.5 million, US$3.3 million and US$6.6 million lower for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. See Item 3. Key
InformationRisk FactorsRisks Relating to Doing Business in ChinaFluctuations in the exchange rates of the Renminbi could materially and adversely affect the value of our shares or ADSs and result in foreign currency exchange
losses.

From time to time we manage to convert Renminbi into foreign currencies for purchases of equipment from
overseas suppliers and for certain expenses. The Renminbi is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In July 2005, the PRC government discontinued pegging the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. However, the PBOC, regularly intervenes in the
foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate. Nevertheless, under Chinas current exchange rate regime, the Renminbi may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in
the medium to long term.

Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate
fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these
hedging transactions may be limited and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure at all. In addition, our currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert Renminbi into
other currencies.

Credit Risk

Substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents are held in banks in mainland China and Hong Kong that our management believes are of high credit quality. We have policies that limit the amount of
credit exposure to any bank. With respect to credit risk arising from other financial assets, comprising accounts receivable, commitment deposits to real estate developers in order to secure future marketing and listing business, amounts due from
related parties and amounts due from subsidiaries, our exposure to credit risk arises from default of the counterparties, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amounts of these instruments. We perform on-going credit evaluations of our
customers financial condition. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of entities comprising our customer base. No customer individually accounted for 10.0% or more of our revenues
in any of 2009, 2010 and 2011. We generally do not require collateral for accounts receivable.

##### Table of Contents

Fair Value Risk

Our financial assets mainly include cash and cash equivalents, account receivables, amounts due from related parties and investments in subsidiaries. Our financial liabilities mainly include other
payables and advances from customers. The carrying amounts of our financial instruments approximate to their fair values as of the balance sheet date. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market
information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect
the estimates.

D. American Depositary Shares

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., our depositary, may charge each person to whom ADSs are issued, including, without limitation, issuances against deposits of shares, issuances in respect of share distributions,
rights and other distributions, issuances pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by us or issuances pursuant to a merger, exchange of securities or any other transaction or event affecting the ADSs or deposited securities, and each
person surrendering ADSs for withdrawal of deposited securities in any manner permitted by the deposit agreement or whose ADRs are cancelled or reduced for any other reason, $5.00 for each 100 ADSs (or any portion thereof) issued, delivered,
reduced, cancelled or surrendered, the case may be. The depositary may sell (by public or private sale) sufficient securities and property received in respect of a share distribution, rights and/or other distribution prior to such deposit to pay
such charge.

The following additional charges shall be incurred by the ADR holders, by any party depositing or withdrawing
ordinary shares or by any party surrendering ADSs or to whom ADSs are issued (including, without limitation, issuance pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by us or an exchange of stock regarding the ADRs or the deposited securities
or a distribution of ADSs), whichever is applicable:



| |  |  | a fee of $1.50 per ADR or ADRs for transfers of certificated or direct registration ADRs;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a fee of up to $0.05 per ADS for any cash distribution made pursuant to the deposit agreement;

| |  |  | reimbursement of such fees, charges and expenses as are incurred by the depositary and/or any of the depositarys agents (including,
without limitation, the custodian and expenses incurred on behalf of holders in connection with compliance with foreign exchange control regulations or any law or regulation relating to foreign investment) in connection with the servicing of the
ordinary shares or other deposited securities, the delivery of deposited securities or otherwise in connection with the depositarys or its custodians compliance with applicable law, rule or regulation (which charge shall be assessed on a
proportionate basis against holders as of the record date or dates set by the depositary and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the depositary by billing such holders or by deducting such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash
distributions);

| |  |  | a fee for the distribution of securities (or the sale of securities in connection with a distribution), such fee being in an amount equal to the
fee for the execution and delivery of ADSs which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (treating all such securities as if they were ordinary shares) but which securities or the net cash proceeds from the sale thereof
are instead distributed by the depositary to those holders entitled thereto;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges;

shares;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | transfer or registration fees for the registration of transfer of deposited securities on any applicable register in connection with the deposit
or withdrawal of deposited securities; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | expenses of the depositary in connection with the conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We will pay all other charges and expenses of the depositary and any agent of the depositary (except the custodian) pursuant to
agreements from time to time between us and the depositary. The charges described above may be amended from time to time by agreement between us and the depositary.

Our depositary has agreed to reimburse us for certain expenses we incur that are related to establishment and maintenance of the ADR program, including investor relations expenses and exchange application
and listing fees. Neither the depositary nor we can determine the exact amount to be made available to us because (i) the number of ADSs that will be issued and outstanding, (ii) the level of fees to be charged to holders of ADSs and
(iii) our reimbursable expenses related to the ADR program are not known at this time. The depositary collects its fees for issuance and cancellation of ADSs directly from investors depositing ordinary shares or surrendering ADSs for the
purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees.
The depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deduction from cash distributions, or by directly billing investors, or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them. The depositary may generally
refuse to provide services to any holder until the fees and expenses owing by such holder for those services or otherwise are paid.

Not applicable.

ITEM 14. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

A. Material Modifications to the
Rights of Security Holders

None.

B. Use of Proceeds

We completed our initial public offering of
2,933,238 ordinary shares, in the form of ADSs, at a price of US$10.625 per ADS, in September 2010, after our ordinary shares and American Depositary Receipts were registered under the Securities Act. (The aforementioned offering price has been
retroactively adjusted to reflect the adjustment of our ADS to share ratio from one ADS representing four Class A ordinary shares to one ADS representing one Class A ordinary share effective on February 18, 2011.) The aggregate price of the offering
amount registered and sold was US$124.7 million, of which we received net proceeds of US$9.8 million after deduction of underwriting discounts and commissions paid by us. As of March 31, 2012, we had spent all of the net proceeds, including
US$5.0 million used to invest in the shares of Syswin Inc. (a primary real estate service provider in China listed on the NYSE, ticker symbol SYSW), approximately US$2.8 million used to pay for our initial public offering expenses and
the rest used for general corporate purposes.

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.

Based upon that evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed
by us in the reports that we file and furnish under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed by us in
the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Rule 13a-15(c) of the Exchange Act, based on criteria established in the framework in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2011.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Our independent registered public accounting
firm, Ernst & Young Hua Ming, has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, as stated in its report, which appears on page F-3 of this annual report on Form 20-F.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010, our chief executive officer and our
chief financial officer had concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective based on the following reason. In connection with the audit of our financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2010, our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young Hua Ming identified the following as a material weakness involving internal control over financial reporting: we did not have sufficient accounting
personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting matters to properly identify, analyze and conclude on accounting issues and to prepare financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC
reporting requirements.

The following specific remedial actions were initiated and completed during our most recent fiscal
year to address the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:



| |  |  | Hiring additional technical accounting personnel to address our complex accounting and financial reporting requirements;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Assessing and enhancing the technical accounting capabilities at our subsidiaries to strengthen our accounting personnels knowledge, skills, and
training; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Conducting training sessions for accounting personnel to improve their familiarity with U.S. GAAP, including any recent accounting pronouncements;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a result of these remedial actions, we believe that the material weakness identified above have been
remediated. Our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.

Other than as described above, management does not believe that there have been any other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter, which have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

Our board of directors has determined that Sam Hanhui Sun is an audit committee financial expert as defined by SEC rules, and
that he satisfies the independence requirements of Section 303A and Rule 
10A-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS

Our board of directors has adopted our code of conduct and ethics, a code that applies to members of the board of directors including its
chairman and other senior officers, including the chief financial officer and the chief operations officer. This code is publicly available on our website at ir.soufun.com.

ITEM 16C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

In January 2003, the SEC adopted rules requiring disclosure of fees billed by a public companys independent auditors in each of the companys two most recent fiscal years. Our auditors charged
the following fees for professional services rendered for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011:



|              |  |                            |       |  |      |  |     |

|              |  | 2010                       |       |  | 2011 | 
|              |  | (U.S. dollars inthousands) |      
|Audit fees(1) |  |                            | 1,220 |  |      |  | 928 | 
|Tax Fees(2)   |  |                            | 50    |  |      |  | 55  | 
|Total         |  |                            | 1,270 |  |      |  | 983 | 



|(1) | Audit Fees are defined as the standard audit work that needs to be performed each year in order to issue opinions on our consolidated financial statements and to issue
reports on our local statutory financial statements. Also included are services that can only be provided by our auditor, such as auditing of nonrecurring transactions and implementation of new accounting policies, reviews of quarterly financial
results, consents and comfort letters and any other audit services required for the SEC or other regulatory filings.

|(2) | Tax Fees include those tax services provided by the independent auditor for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During the 12-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011, our auditors were not
engaged to perform any services that are defined as audited related services.

Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of
Independent Auditors

Our audit committee is responsible for pre-approving all audit and non-audit services provided by
our auditor. These services may include audit services, audit related services, tax services and other services, as described above. Pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or categories of services, and is subject to a specific
budget. Our management and our auditor report to the audit committee regarding the extent of services provided in accordance with this pre-approval and the fees for the services performed to date on an annual basis. The audit committee may also
pre-approve additional services on a case-by-case basis.

ITEM 16D. EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS
FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES

None.

ITEM 16E. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS

None.

ITEM 16F. CHANGE IN REGISTRANTS CERTIFYING
ACCOUNT

Not applicable.

ITEM 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

As a
foreign private issuer with shares listed on the NYSE, we are subject to corporate governance requirements imposed by the NYSE. Under Section 303A, NYSE listed non-US companies may, in general, follow their home country corporate governance
practices in lieu of some of the NYSE corporate governance requirements. A NYSE listed non-U.S. company is simply required to provide a general summary of the significant differences to its U.S. investors either on the company website or in its
annual report distributed to its U.S. investors.

We are committed to a high standard of corporate governance. As such, we
endeavor to comply with most of the NYSE corporate governance practices. However, the following are ways in which our current corporate governance practices differ from NYSE corporate governance requirements since the laws of Cayman Islands do not
require such compliance:



| |  |  | The majority of our board of directors is not comprised of independent directors.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We are not required to schedule an executive session at least once a year to be attended by only independent directors and all directors are
currently entitled to attend all of our board meetings.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We have not yet adopted or disclosed a method for interested parties to communicate directly with the presiding director or with non-management
directors as a group.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | We are not required to obtain shareholder approval for the adoption of, or material revisions to, our equity compensation plans and our
directors may amend, materially revise, or terminate our equity compensation plans, but no such action will affect any outstanding award in any manner materially adverse to a participant without the consent of the participant.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

None of the above practices conflicts with the laws of the Cayman Islands or our amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association.

We may in the future determine to voluntarily comply with one or more of the
foregoing provisions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of SouFun Holdings Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SouFun Holdings Limited (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of SouFun Holdings Limited at December 31, 2010 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have
audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), SouFun Holdings Limiteds internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in
Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated April 25, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of SouFun Holdings Limited

We have audited SouFun Holdings Limiteds internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). SouFun Holdings Limiteds management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment
of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control
over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, SouFun Holdings Limited maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2011, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), the consolidated balance sheets of SouFun Holdings Limited as of December 31, 2010 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2011 of SouFun Holdings Limited and our report dated April 25, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

|1. | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
|-- | --------------------------------------------------



To comply with PRC laws and regulations which restrict foreign control of companies
involved in internet content provision (ICP) and advertising businesses, the Group operates its websites and provides online marketing advertising services in the PRC through its PRC Domestic Entities. The equity interests of the PRC
Domestic Entities are legally held directly by Tianquan Vincent Mo, Director of the Company, and Jiangong Dai, President of the Company. The effective control of the PRC Domestic Entities is held by three of the WOFEs, namely SouFun Network, SouFun
Media and Beijing Hong An, through a series of standardized contractual arrangements and their supplementary agreements signed with each of the PRC Domestic Entities (hereafter, together the Contractual Agreements). As a result of the
Contractual Agreements, the Company maintains the ability to approve decisions made by the PRC Domestic Entities, is entitled to substantially all of the economic benefits from the PRC Domestic Entities and is obligated to absorb all of the PRC
Domestic Entities expected losses.

Therefore, the Company consolidates the PRC Domestic Entities in accordance with SEC
Regulation SX-3A-02 and Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810-10, Consolidation: Overall.

The following is a summary of the standardized Contractual Agreements:

Exclusive Technical Consultancy and Service Agreements

The Company, through the WOFEs, provides the following exclusive technical services to the PRC Domestic Entities:
i) access to information assembled by the WOFEs concerning the real estate industry and companies in this sector to enable the PRC Domestic Entities to target potential customers and provide research services; and ii) technical information
technology system support to enable the PRC Domestic Entities to service the advertising and listing needs of its customers. The agreements are effective for 10 years and can be extended indefinitely at the sole discretion of the WOFEs.

Operating Agreements

Pursuant to the operating agreements, the PRC Domestic Entities will appoint or remove their directors and executive officers base on instruction from the WOFEs. In addition, the WOFEs possess the rights
to control the daily operation and to make management decisions for the PRC Domestic Entities. The agreements are effective for 10 years and can be extended indefinitely at the sole discretion of the WOFEs.

Equity Pledge Agreements, Shareholders Proxy Agreements, and Exclusive Call Option Agreements

The legal shareholders have pledged their entire respective ownership interests in each Domestic PRC Entity to the WOFEs. The legal
shareholders entrusted the WOFEs their rights to attend shareholders meetings and cast votes. The agreements will continue unless terminated upon written consents by the WOFEs or their designated legal persons. The agreements are effective for
10 years and can be extended at the sole discretion of the WOFEs.

The Company has the exclusive right to acquire from the
legal shareholders their entire respective equity interests in each PRC Domestic Entity at a price equivalent to the historical cost when permitted by applicable PRC laws and regulations. The agreements have a term of ten years and can be extended
indefinitely at the sole discretion of the WOFEs.

Equity Pledge Agreements, Shareholders Proxy Agreements, and Exclusive Call
Option Agreements (continued)



Each Domestic PRC Entity and its legal shareholders have also agreed not to enter into
any transaction that would substantially affect the assets, rights, obligations or operations of the Domestic PRC Entity without prior written consent from the WOFEs. The PRC Domestic Entities will not distribute any dividend without the prior
written consent from the WOFEs. The agreements are effective for 10 years and can be extended indefinitely at the sole discretion of the WOFEs.

Loan Agreements

The WOFEs provided loans to the legal shareholders
to enable them to pay the registered capital of the PRC Domestic Entities. Under the terms of the loan agreements, the legal shareholders will repay the loans by transferring their legal ownership in the PRC Domestic Entities when permitted by
applicable PRC laws and regulations. The agreements are effective for 10 years and will be automatically extended indefinitely until the legal shareholders transfer the equity of the PRC Domestic Entities to the WOFEs.

Supplementary Agreements

In addition to the above contractual agreements, the WOFEs and the PRC Domestic Entities entered into supplementary agreements in March 2010 to memorialize certain terms previously agreed amongst the
WOFEs, the PRC Domestic Entities and their shareholders. While this supplementary agreement was signed in 2010, the terms, intent and substance of all the agreements above remained unchanged. All provisions in the Supplementary Agreements have been
incorporated into the standardized contractual agreements signed subsequent to March 2010. Pursuant to the supplementary agreement:



| |  |  | the WOFEs have unilateral discretion in setting the technical service fees charged to the PRC Domestic Entities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the WOFEs are obligated to provide financial support to the PRC Domestic Entities in the event the PRC Domestic Entities incur losses;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the annual budget of the PRC Domestic Entities should be assessed and approved by the WOFEs;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the legal shareholders agree to remit any dividends, received from the PRC Domestic Entities, to the WOFEs; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the PRC Domestic Entities are obligated to transfer their entire retained earnings after deduction of PRC income tax to the WOFEs upon the WOFEs
request.

Supplementary Agreements

With the above agreements, the three WOFEs demonstrate their ability to control the PRC Domestic Entities, through the WOFEs right
to all the residual benefits of the PRC Domestic Entities and the WOFEs obligation to fund losses of the PRC Domestic Entities. As a result, the three WOFEs have been determined to be the primary beneficiaries of the PRC Domestic Entities.
Accordingly, in accordance with SEC Regulation SX-3A-02 and ASC 810, the Company, through the WOFEs, has consolidated the operating results of the PRC Domestic Entities in the Companys financial statements. Business taxes relating to service
fees charged by the WOFEs are recorded as cost of services.

The carrying amounts of the assets, liabilities and the results of
operations of the PRC Domestic Entities included in the Companys consolidated balance sheets and statements of income are as follows:

Entities and the Company has not provided any financial support that it was not previously contractually required to provide to the PRC Domestic Entities. There were no assets of the PRC Domestic Entities that can only be used to settle their own
obligations. Creditors of the PRC Domestic Entities have no recourse to the general credit of their respective primary beneficiary.

(Amounts in thousands of United States Dollar (US$), except for number of shares and per share data)



|2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|-- | ------------------------------------------

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles (U.S. GAAP).

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the
Company will continue as a going concern.

The Groups working capital deficiency as of December 31, 2011 was
US$188,255. This was primarily caused by bank borrowings of US$205,670 being classified as current liabilities as they are repayable on demand, whilst cash deposits of US$247,631 that were pledged with the respective banks being classified as
non-current assets as they have terms of more than one year. As such, continued operation of the Group is dependent upon the Groups ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing or to improve future operations. The Group believes that
the following factor would provide sufficient liquidity to finance the Groups anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.



| |  |  | The Group obtained written confirmations from the respective banks that the cash deposits pledged for the bank borrowings will be released at any time
the loans are required to be settled by the Company; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Groups continuous net cash inflows from operating activities.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------

Based on the above considerations, management is of the opinion that the Group has sufficient funds to meet its working capital
requirements and debt obligations in the next twelve months. As a result, management believes it is appropriate to prepare these consolidated financial statements on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern and thus these
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might have been necessary should the Company not be able to
continue in existence as a going concern.

Use of Estimate

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates
and assumptions reflected in the Groups financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, realization of deferred tax assets, impairment of
long-lived assets, share-based compensation expense, fair value of the trading and available-for-sale securities and uncertain income tax positions. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and PRC Domestic Entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. A
controlling financial interest is typically determined when the Company holds a majority of the voting equity interest in an entity. However, if the Company demonstrates its ability to control the PRC Domestic Entities through the Companys
rights to all the residual benefits of the PRC Domestic Entities and the Companys obligation to fund losses of the PRC Domestic Entities then the entity is included in the consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions between the Company, its subsidiaries and PRC Domestic Entities have been eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The functional currency of the Company and its overseas subsidiaries, including Selovo, Pendiary, Max Impact, Bravo Work, China Index,
China Home, China Home (BVI) Limited, China Home (HK) Limited, and China Real estate, Wall Street, China Property, China Property (BVI), HK Property, Best Scholar, Best Scholar (Delaware), Best Work, Sou You Tian Xia, Sou You Tian Xia (BVI) and Sou
You Tian Xia (HK) is the United States dollar (US$). The Companys PRC subsidiaries and PRC Domestic Entities determine their functional currency to be the Chinese Renminbi (RMB) based on the criteria of ASC 830-10,
Foreign Currency Matters: Overall. The Company uses US$ as its reporting currency. The Company uses the monthly average exchange rate for the year and the exchange rate at the balance sheet date to translate the operating results and
financial position, respectively. Translation differences are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of shareholders equity.

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Foreign currency denominated financial assets and
liabilities are remeasured at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of income.

The assets and liabilities of the Companys PRC subsidiaries and PRC Domestic Entities are translated into US$ at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. The consolidated statements
of income of these entities are translated into US$ at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. The resulting translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders equity.

For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash flows of the Companys PRC subsidiaries and PRC
Domestic Entities are translated into US$ at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the cash flows. Frequently recurring cash flows of these entities which arise throughout the year are translated into US$ at the weighted average exchange
rates for the year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions with original
maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. In addition, all highly liquid investments with original stated maturity of 90 days or less are classified as cash equivalents.

Short-term Investments

All highly liquid investments with original maturities of greater than 90 days but less than 365 days are classified as
short-term investments which are stated at their approximate fair value. The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with ASC 320-10, Investments-Debt and Equity Securities: Overall. 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 320-10. Dividend and interest
income, including amortization of the premium and discount arising at acquisition, for all categories of investments in securities are included in earnings. Any realized gains or losses on the sale of the short-term investments are determined on a
specific identification method, and such gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of income.

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 320-10. If the Company concludes that it does not intend or is not required to sell an impaired debt security
before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, the impairment is considered temporary and the held-to-maturity securities continue to be recognized at the amortized costs. 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 the
consolidated statements of income 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.

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.

Investments not classified as trading or as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale investment is reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders equity. Realized gains or losses are charged to earnings during the period in which the gain or loss is realized. An impairment loss on the available-for-sale debt securities
would be recognized in the consolidated statements of income when the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. Impairment loss of nil, nil and US$4,343 was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011
respectively.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Group considers many factors in assessing the collectability of its receivables, such as, the age of the amounts due, the
customers payment history and credit-worthiness. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which a loss is determined to be probable. Accounts receivable balances are written off after all collection efforts have been
exhausted.

Property and Equipment, Net

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:



|                      |  |                                  |  |                          |      |

|Motor vehicles        |  | 5 years                          |  |                          | 5    | %
|Leasehold improvement |  | shorter of lease term or 5 years |  |                          |     |  
|Building              |  | 12 years                         |  |                          |     |  

Land is stated at cost and is not depreciated.

Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives
of property and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts with any
resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of income.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Group evaluates its long-lived assets or asset group 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 a group of long-lived assets may not be fully recoverable. When these events occur, the Group evaluates the
impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying
amount of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value. No impairment charge was recognized for any of the years presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments of the Group primarily include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, loans receivable, amounts due from related parties, short-term investments, including
trading and available-for-sale securities, and short-term loans. As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, the carrying values of these financial instruments, other than the trading and available-for-sale securities, approximated their fair values due
to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The trading and available-for-sale securities were recorded at fair value at each reporting date.

The Group applies ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Overall, in measuring fair value. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC 820-10 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 820-10 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments(continued)



In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company measures its trading securities at fair
value using a model utilizing market direct observable inputs, such as historical volatility and risk-free interest rate. The Company measures available-for-sale securities using quoted prices from the active market.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010 and 2011 are summarized below:



|                            |  |                                                             |     |  |                                             |  |   |                               |  |  |                                 |  |  |  |     |

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are derived from online marketing services, listing services, e-commerce and other value-added services and products. Revenue for
each type of service and product sales is recognized only when the following criteria are met: a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; b) price is fixed or determinable; c) delivery of services has occurred; and
d) collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue Recognition (continued)

Marketing Services

The Group offers marketing services on the Groups websites, primarily presented as banner advertisements, floating links, logos and other media insertions (forms of services). These
services are offered to real estate developers and providers of products and services for home decoration and improvement. Marketing services allow advertisers to place advertisements on particular areas of the Groups websites, in particular
formats and over particular periods of time. Written contracts, containing all significant terms, signed by the Group and its customers provide persuasive evidence of the arrangement. The contracts do not contain any specific performance,
cancellation, termination or refund provisions.

The service fee is negotiated between the customer and the Group but once a
price is agreed to and the written contract is signed by both parties, the price is fixed and not subject to change. The service fee is due and payable in installments over the service period. Historically, the service fee has varied widely for
marketing services and such variation in prices exists even when the same forms of services is provided in the same location of our websites and for the same service duration. The marketing services typically last from several days to one year.
Delivery of the service occurs upon displaying the agreed forms of services on the Groups websites over the specified service period. The Group performs credit assessments on its customers prior to signing the written contract to ensure
collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period, as there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured, as prescribed by ASC 605-10,
Revenue Recognition: Overall.

For certain arrangements, the Group provides marketing services that contain
multiple deliverables, that is, different forms of services to be delivered over different periods of time. Starting from January 1, 2011, the Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13 (ASU
2009-13), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. The Group adopted this guidance on a prospective basis applicable for transactions originating or materially modified after the date of adoption. This guidance changed the
criteria for separating units of accounting in multiple-element arrangements and the way in which an entity is required to allocate the revenue to these units of accounting.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2009-13, as the Company sold its marketing services over a broad price range, there was a lack of objective and reliable evidence of fair value for each deliverable included
in the arrangement. Accordingly, a combined unit of accounting was used pursuant to ASC 605-25, Revenue RecognitionMultiple-Element Arrangements, whereby revenue was recognized ratably over the performance period of the last
deliverable in the arrangement. Revenue from marketing services of US$235,860 would have been recognized in 2011 if those arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption of ASU 2009-13 were still being recognized on a
straight-line basis over the performance period of the last deliverable.

Marketing Services(continued)



Subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2009-13, the Group accounts for each deliverable in
the arrangement as separate unit of accounting. Revenue is allocated to each unit of accounting on a relative fair value basis based on a selling price hierarchy and is recognized ratably over the duration of the service period. The selling price
for a deliverable is based in its vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) if available, third party evidence (TPE) if VSOE is not available, or best estimate of selling price (BESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is
available. The total arrangement consideration is allocated to each unit of accounting based on its relative selling price which is determined based on the Groups BESP for that deliverable because neither VSOE nor TPE exist. In determining its
BESP for each deliverable, the Group considered its overall pricing model and objectives, as well as market or competitive conditions that may impact the price at which the Group would transact if the deliverable were sold regularly on a standalone
basis. The Group will monitor the conditions that affect its determination of selling price for each deliverable and will reassess such estimates periodically.

For the contracts entered into prior to December 31, 2010 without material modification in 2011, the Group continued to recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the performance period of the
last deliverable.

Listing Services

Listing service revenue consist of revenues derived from both basic listing services and special listing services.

The Groups basic or special listing services are provided to agents, brokers, property developers, property owners, property managers and others seeking to sell or rent new or secondary residential
and commercial properties.



| | 1) | Basic listing services:
| | -- | -----------------------

Basic
listing services entitle the customers to post and make changes to information for properties, home furnishings and other related products and services in a particular area on the website for a specified period of time, which typically range from
one to 36 months, in exchange for a fixed fee. Written contracts, containing all significant terms, signed by the Group and its customers provide persuasive evidence of the arrangement. The amount of fee to be paid is not subject to change once
the contract has been signed. The contracts do not contain any specific performance, cancellation, termination or refund provisions. Delivery of services occurs by making access to the websites available for posting by the customers over the
specified listing period. The Group performs credit assessments of its customers prior to signing the written contract to ensure collectability is reasonably assured. In accordance with ASC 605-25, revenue is recognized ratably over the duration of
the service period as the basic listing services are being delivered.

Listing Services(continued)



| | 2) | Special listing services:
| | -- | -------------------------

Special listing services are multiple element arrangements comprising website listing services and other coordination of promotional
themed events (Offline Services), such as physical forum discussion or a banquet gathering, each with the special listing as the theme, where the Groups customers promote their products or services to a live audience. The Offline
Services do not have standalone value and are always sold with special listing services. Written contracts, containing all significant terms, signed by the Group and its customers provide persuasive evidence of the arrangement. The amount of fee to
be paid is not subject to change once the contract has been signed. The contracts do not contain any specific performance, cancellation, termination or refund provisions. Delivery of services occurs by making access to the websites available for
posting by the customers over the specified listing period and upon completion of the Offline Services. The Group performs credit assessments of its customers prior to signing the written contract to ensure collectability is reasonably assured.

As the Offline Services do not have standalone value, a combined unit of accounting is used pursuant to ASC 605-25 whereby
revenue is recognized upon delivery of the final deliverable, which is recognized ratably over the duration of the special listing service period.

E-Commerce Services

Commencing in 2011, the Group provided
e-commerce services by operating (i) an online marketplace platform which enables third-party merchants to sell home furnishing products to customers online and (ii) an online payment platform which enables customers to make payments to third-party
merchants online. The Group earns a commission, which ranges from 5% to 15% of the sales transaction amount, from the third-party merchants when a transaction is completed through the Groups marketplace and online payment platforms.

When a customer places his or her order for home furnishing products with a third-party merchant through the Groups
marketplace platform, the sales price and the shipping charge for the sale transaction are confirmed. Delivery of goods to a consumer will be processed by the third-party merchant after payment is made through the Groups online payment
platform. The sales transaction is completed and the Group recognizes the commission earned as e-commerce services revenue upon confirmation of receipt of the home furnishing products by the consumer and remittance of the net payment to the
third-party merchant through the Groups marketplace and online payment platforms.

Other Value-added Services and Products

Commencing in 2009, the Group provided marketing services to home decoration vendors in exchange for prepaid cards issued by the vendors.
The significant terms of these transactions are stated in written contracts which are signed by the Group and the customers. The prepaid cards contain monetary values of varying denomination from RMB20.00 to RMB2,000.00 that can be used to purchase
certain products from the vendors specified stores. The prepaid cards are not redeemable for cash from the vendors. The Group sells the prepaid cards, typically at a discount to their stated monetary value, to external parties. The exchange of
marketing services for prepaid cards is accounted for in accordance with ASC 845 Nonmonetary Transactions. In accordance with ASC 845-10-30, the nonmonetary transaction is measured based on fair value of the assets (or services)
involved. The fair value of the services to be provided is not determinable within a reasonable range because the service fees received have historically varied widely. The fair value of the prepaid cards is determinable by reference to the
historical cash proceeds received upon the sale of such cards to customers. The Company reassesses its fair value estimate periodically to reflect changes experienced in the selling prices of the prepaid cards. Service revenue from this exchange is
measured based on the fair value of the prepaid cards received and is recognized in accordance with the revenue model stated above in Marketing services. Revenue from sales of prepaid cards is recognized when the prepaid cards are
delivered to the customers and cash is received. The Group ceased the sale of other value-added products in 2011.

in 2011, the Group entered into arrangements with real estate developers, pursuant to which the Group charges its customers RMB5,000.00 to RMB20,000.00 in order for them to purchase specified properties from the real estate developers at a discount
greater than the face value of the fees charged by the Group. The discount is either a fixed amount off or a fixed percentage to the price of the specified property value. The fees paid by customers are refundable before a purchase of the specified
properties at a discount is made by the customers. Revenue is recognized by the Group when cash consideration of the fees is received and the discount has been applied by the customers to pay for the purchase price of the specified properties. Cash
received in advance of the purchase of specified properties are recorded as deferred revenue.

The Group generates revenues
from other value-added services including subscription services for access to the Groups information database and consulting services for customized and industry-related research reports and indices. Revenues derived from subscription services
for access to the Groups information database are recognized ratably over the subscription period. Revenues derived from consulting services for customized and industry-related research reports and indices are recognized when the relevant
services are completed.

The Groups business is subject to business taxes, surcharges or cultural construction fees
levied on advertising-related sales in China. In accordance with ASC 605-45, Revenue RecognitionPrincipal Agent Considerations, all such business taxes, surcharges and cultural construction fees are presented as cost of
revenues in the consolidated statements of income. Business tax and related surcharges and cultural construction fees for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 were US$10,870, US$17,103 and US$21,118, respectively.

All service fees and prepaid cards received in advance of the provision of services are initially recorded as deferred revenue which is
subsequently recognized as revenue when the related services are performed by the Group.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenue consists of employee costs, business taxes and surcharges, server and bandwidth leasing fees and other
direct costs incurred in providing the related services and sales of products. These costs are expensed when incurred. In addition, cost of revenue includes the 5% business tax for the technology consultancy service fees charged by the WOFEs to the
PRC Domestic Entities.

Advertising Expenditure

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are included in selling expenses in the consolidated statements of income. For the years
ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the advertising expenses were US$1,526, US$3,666 and US$5,130, respectively.

Leases

Leases are classified at the inception date as either a capital lease or an operating lease. A lease is a capital lease if any of the following conditions 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 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 as incurred. The Group had no capital leases for any of the years stated herein.

Income Taxes

The Group follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, if any. Accounting standards regarding income taxes require a
reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation
allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative
losses, forecasts of futures profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Groups experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, if any, not expiring.

The Group applies ASC 740-10, Income taxes: Overall, to account for uncertainties in income taxes. Interest and penalties
arising from underpayment of income taxes shall be computed in accordance with the related PRC tax law. The amount of interest expense is computed by applying the applicable statutory rate of interest to the difference between the tax position
recognized and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interest and penalties recognized in accordance with ASC 740-10 is classified in the consolidated statements of income as income tax expense.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10, the Group recognizes in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if a
tax return position or future tax position is more likely than not to prevail based on the facts and technical merits of the position. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the
largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

Income Taxes(continued)



The Groups estimated liability for unrecognized tax benefits which is included in
the accrued expenses and other liabilities account is periodically assessed for adequacy and may be affected by changing interpretations of laws, rulings by tax authorities, changes and/or developments with respect to tax audits, and
expiration of the statute of limitations. The outcome for a particular audit cannot be determined with certainty prior to the conclusion of the audit and, in some cases, appeal or litigation process. The actual benefits ultimately realized may
differ from the Groups estimates. As each audit is concluded, adjustments, if any, are recorded in the Groups financial statements. Additionally, in future periods, changes in facts, circumstances, and new information may require the
Group to adjust the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recognized in the period in which the changes occur.

Share-based Compensation

The Groups employees and directors participate in the Companys share-based award incentive plan which is more fully discussed in Note 15. The Company applies ASC 718,
Compensation-Stock Compensation to account for its employee share-based payments. There have been no share-based payments made to non-employees for any of the years presented.

In accordance with ASC 718, the Company determines whether a share option should be classified and accounted for as a liability award
or equity award. All grants of share-based awards to employees classified as equity awards are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values which are calculated using an option pricing model. All grants of share-based
awards to employees and directors classified as liabilities are remeasured at the end of each reporting period with an adjustment for fair value recorded to the current period expense in order to properly reflect the cumulative expense based on the
current fair value of the vested rewards over the vesting periods. The Group has elected to recognize compensation expense using the straight-line method for all employee equity awards granted with graded vesting based on service conditions, which
was not subject to performance vesting conditions. Meanwhile the Group uses the accelerated attribution method for the equity awards with performance conditions on a tranche-by-tranche basis based on the probable outcome of the performance
conditions. To the extent the required vesting conditions are not met resulting in the forfeiture of the share-based awards, previously recognized compensation expense relating to those awards are reversed. ASC 718-10 requires forfeitures to be
estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. Share-based compensation expense was recorded net of estimated forfeitures such that expense was recorded only for
those share-based awards that are expected to vest.

|-- | ------------------------------------------------------



Earnings per Share

The Company computes earnings per Class A and Class B ordinary shares in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, using
the two class method. Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period except that it does not include unvested ordinary shares subject to
repurchase or cancellation. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares and, if dilutive, potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded
from the computation of diluted net income per share if their inclusion is anti-dilutive. Potential ordinary shares consist of the incremental ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, restricted shares subject to forfeiture, and
contracts that may be settled in the Companys stock or cash. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and restricted shares is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The computation of the
diluted net income per share of Class A ordinary shares assumes the conversion of Class B ordinary shares, while the diluted net income per share of Class B ordinary shares does not assume the conversion of those shares.

The liquidation and dividend rights of the holders of the Companys Class A and Class B ordinary shares are identical, except with
respect to voting. As a result, and in accordance with ASC 260, the undistributed earnings for each year are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A and Class B ordinary shares as if the earnings for the year had been
distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis. Further, as the conversion of Class B ordinary shares is assumed in the computation of the diluted net income per
share of Class A ordinary shares, the undistributed earnings are equal to net income for that computation. For the purposes of calculating the Companys basic and diluted earnings per Class A and Class B ordinary shares, the ordinary
shares relating to the options that were exercised are assumed to have been outstanding from the date of exercise of such options.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined to include all
changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. For the years presented, the Groups comprehensive income includes net income, unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale investments and
foreign currency translation adjustments and is presented in the statement of changes in shareholders equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements
in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value
measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Group does not expect the adoption of ASU
2011-04 will have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)



In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220),
Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income (OCI) and its components in the statements of shareholders equity. Instead, an entity will be required to present
items of net income and OCI in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the
Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. ASU 2011-12 defers the ASU 2011-05 requirement that companies present reclassification adjustments for
each component of OCI in both net income and OCI on the face of the financial statements and the requirement to report reclassification adjustments in interim periods. The amendments in ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 should be applied retrospectively
and are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Group does not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 will have a material impact on
its consolidated financial statements.



|3. | CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
|-- | ----------------------

Concentration of Credit Risk

Assets that potentially subject the Group to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans receivable and amounts due from related
parties. As of December 31, 2011, substantially all of the Groups cash were deposited in financial institutions located in the PRC and in Hong Kong, which management believes are of high credit quality. Accounts receivable are typically
unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers in the PRC. The risk with respect to accounts receivable is mitigated by credit evaluations the Group performs on its customers and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances.

Loans receivable are typically secured by pledged assets or third-party guarantees and for a term of one year or less. The
risk with respect to loans receivable is mitigated by credit evaluations the Group performs on the borrowers and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances.

Amounts due from related parties are typically unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand. In evaluating the collectability of the amounts due from related parties balance, the Group considers many
factors, including the related parties repayment history and their credit-worthiness. An allowance for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable.

Concentration of Customers

There are no revenues from customers which individually represent greater than 10% of the total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Current Vulnerability Due to Certain Other Concentrations

The Groups operations may 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 30 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s political, economic and social conditions. There is also no guarantee that the PRC governments pursuit of economic reforms
will be consistent or effective.

Current Vulnerability Due to Certain Other Concentrations (continued)



The Group transacts all of its business 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 (the PBOC). However, the unification of the
exchange rates does not imply that the RMB may be readily convertible into United States dollars or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the PBOC or other banks authorized to buy and sell
foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the PBOC.

Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other
institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts. Additionally, the value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and international
economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the PRC foreign exchange trading system market.

Internet
and advertising related businesses are subject to significant restrictions under current PRC laws and regulations. Specifically, foreign investors are not allowed to own more than a 50% equity interest in any ICP business. In addition, PRC
regulations require any foreign entities that invest in the advertising services industry to have at least a two-year track record with a principal business in the advertising industry outside of the PRC. Currently, the Group conducts its operations
in the PRC through contractual arrangements entered into between the WOFESs and PRC Domestic Entities. The relevant regulatory authorities may find the current contractual arrangements and businesses to be in violation of any existing or future PRC
laws or regulations. If so, the relevant regulatory authorities would have broad discretion in dealing with such violations. In the opinion of management, the likelihood of penalties in respect of the Groups current operations through
contractual arrangements entered into between the WOFEs and PRC Domestic Entities is remote based on current facts and circumstances.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2011, the Group held fixed-rate time deposits in commercial banks and
financial institutions with an original maturity of less than one year.

As of December 31, 2010, the Group held
adjustable-rate investments that were classified as trading securities. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the trading securities were disposed for US$7,813 and a gain of US$263 was recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

Interest income on the fixed-rate time deposits and the adjustable-rate investments of US$272, US$1,133 and US$2,300 was
recognized for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, in the consolidated statements of income.

On November 4, 2010, the Group acquired 714,285 ADSs of Syswin Corporation, a US listed company, at a consideration of US$5,000. The
investment constituted a 1.01% ownership in Syswin Corporation and was classified as an available-for-sale security. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the market price of Syswin Corporation significantly declined and an other-than-temporary
impairment loss of US$4,343, including a reclassification adjustment of US$721 from other comprehensive loss recognized in 2010, was recorded in the consolidated statement of income. As a result, the new cost base of the available-for-sale security
was US$657 as of December 31, 2011.

operations reflected in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the Companys subsidiaries.

|13. | RESTRICTED NET ASSETS (continued)
|--- | ---------------------------------



In accordance with the PRC Regulations on Enterprises with Foreign Investment and their
articles of association, 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. WOFEs were established as a foreign invested enterprise and therefore are subject to the above mandated restrictions on distributable
profits.

Additionally, in accordance with the Company Law of the PRC, a domestic enterprise is required to provide a statutory
common reserve of at least 10% of its annual after-tax profit until such reserve has reached 50% of its respective registered capital based on the enterprises PRC statutory accounts. A domestic enterprise is also required to provide a
discretionary surplus reserve, at the discretion of the board of directors, from the profits determined in accordance with the enterprises PRC statutory accounts. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not
distributable as cash dividends. The PRC Domestic Entities were established as domestic invested enterprises and therefore are subject to the above mentioned restrictions on distributable profits.

As a result of these PRC laws and regulations 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 are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company.

Amounts restricted include paid-in capital, statutory reserve funds and net assets of the Companys PRC subsidiaries, as determined pursuant to PRC generally accepted accounting principles, totaling
US$196,991 and US$347,197 as of December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Therefore in accordance with Rules 504 and 4.08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X, the condensed parent company only financial statements as of December 31,
2010 and 2011 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 are disclosed in Note 22.

British Virgin Islands

Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, Pendiary, Selovo, China Home (BVI), China Property(BVI), Best Scholar and Sou You
Tian Xia (BVI) are not subject to tax on income or capital gains. In addition, upon payments of dividends by these companies to their shareholders, no British Virgin Islands withholding tax will be imposed.

Hong Kong

Bravo Work, Max Impact, China Index, China Home(HK), China Real Estate, HK Property and Sou You Tian Xia (HK) are incorporated in Hong
Kong and do not conduct any substantive operations of their own.

No provision for Hong Kong profits tax has been made in the
financial statements as the subsidiaries in Hong Kong have no assessable profits for the three years ended December 31, 2011. In addition, upon payment of dividends by these companies to their shareholders, no Hong Kong withholding tax will be
imposed.

United States of America

Wall Street, Best Scholar (Delaware) and Best Work are incorporated in the United States of America and do not conduct any substantive operations of their own. No provision for the United States of
America income tax has been made in the financial statements as the subsidiaries in the United States of America have no assessable incomes for the three years ended December 31, 2011. In addition, no dividend distribution is expected. Thus,
withholding tax, if any, will be minimal.

China

Prior to January 1, 2008, PRC enterprise income tax (EIT), was generally assessed at the rate of 33% of taxable income. However, five
PRC entities of the Group including SouFunMedia, SouFun Network, Beijing Technology, Beijing JTX Technology and Beijing Zhongzhi, obtained the certificate of High and New Technology Enterprise (HNTE) within the Zhongguancun Science Park
(the ZSP) in Beijing, the PRC. Thus, SouFun Media, SouFun Network, Beijing Technology and Beijing JTX Technology were granted a reduced EIT rate of 15% as well as a tax holiday of three years, followed by three years of 50 percent
reduction starting from years 2003, 2006, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Beijing Zhongzhi was granted a one-year EIT exemption for the year 2007.

In March 2007, a new enterprise income tax law (the New EIT Law) in the PRC was enacted which became effective on January 1, 2008. The New EIT Law applies a unified 25% EIT rate to both
foreign invested enterprises and domestic enterprises, unless a preferential EIT rate is otherwise stipulated. A five-year transition period is allowed for those enterprises which enjoyed a reduced EIT rate prior to year 2008 with the transitional
EIT rates of 18%, 20%, 22%, 24% and 25% for years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Thus, the applicable EIT rate for SouFun Shenzhen and SouFun Shanghai was 20%, 22% and 24% for years 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

On April 14, 2008, relevant governmental regulatory authorities released further qualification criteria, application procedures and
assessment processes for meeting the HNTE status under the New EIT law which would entitle qualified and approved entities to a favorable statutory tax rate of 15%.

In April 2009, the State Administration for Taxation (SAT) issued Circular
Guoshuihan [2009] No. 203 (Circular 203) stipulating that entities which qualified for the HNTE status should apply with in-charge tax authorities to enjoy the reduced EIT rate of 15% provided under the New EIT Law starting from the
year when the new HNTE certificate becomes effective. In addition, an entity which qualified for the HNTE can continue to enjoy its remaining tax holiday from January 1, 2008 provided that it has obtained the HNTE certificate according to the
new recognition criteria set by the New EIT Law and the relevant regulations.

In May and June 2009, SouFun Media, SouFun
Network, Beijing Technology, Beijing JTX Technology and Beijing Zhongzhi obtained the new HNTE certificate with effect from January 1, 2009. As approved by the in-charge tax authority, Beijing Zhongzhi and SouFun Media are entitled to enjoy the
reduced EIT rate of 15% for years 2009, 2010 and 2011. Beijing Technology, SouFun Network and Beijing JTX Technology were entitled to continue their remaining tax holiday granted under the old EIT Law.

The SAT subsequently issued Circular Guoshuihan [2010] No.157 (Circular 157) in April 2010 to further clarify the applicable
EIT rate for entities which qualified for the HNTE status. According to Circular 157, entities which qualified for the HNTE status should elect one of the following two EIT treatments and no changes could be made once the election is made:

1) The applicable EIT rate is 15% but the remaining tax holiday should no longer be enjoyed; or

2) The remaining tax holiday could be enjoyed based on the transitional EIT rates, that is, 18%, 20%, 22% 24% and 25% for the years from
2008 to 2012.

The effective date of Circular 157 was January 1, 2008.

As a consequence of Circular 157, the company elected to apply the second EIT treatment, the applicable EIT rate for SouFun Network and
Beijing Technology was 10%, 11% and 12% for years 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, whilst the applicable EIT rate for Beijing JTX Technology was 0%, 11% and 12% for years 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Beijing Municipal State Tax Bureau clarified the tax policy with the SAT in relation to the
three-year exemption, three-year 50% reduction tax holiday that was implemented for entities which qualified for the HNTE status in the ZSP and reached a verbal agreement with the SAT that Circular 157 is not applicable to the entities
registered in the ZSP. As a result, the applicable income tax rates for SouFun Network, Beijing Technology, and Beijing JTX Technology, the Companys subsidiaries registered in the ZSP which qualified for the HNTE status, should be 7.5%, 7.5%,
0% for year 2009 and 7.5%, 7.5%, 7.5% for years 2010 and 2011, respectively. Accordingly, income tax expenses of US$7,500 were reversed in the year ended December 31, 2011 for the cumulative effect of unnecessarily applying Circular 157 during the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010. The reversed tax expenses consist of current income tax expenses of US$4,800 and deferred tax expenses of US$2,700.

Dividends paid by PRC subsidiaries of the Group out of the profits earned after
December 31, 2007 to non-PRC tax resident investors are subject to PRC withholding tax. The withholding tax on dividends is 10%, unless a foreign investors tax jurisdiction has a tax treaty with the PRC that provides for a lower
withholding tax rate and the foreign investor is recognized as the beneficial owner of the income under the relevant tax rules.

Moreover, the current EIT Law treats enterprises established outside of China with effective management and control located in
China as PRC resident enterprises for tax purposes. The term effective management and control is generally defined as exercising overall management and control over the business, personnel, accounting, properties, etc. of an enterprise.
The Company, if considered a PRC resident enterprise for tax purposes, would be subject to the PRC Enterprise Income Tax at the rate of 25% on its worldwide income for the period after January 1, 2008. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has not
accrued for PRC tax on such basis. The Company will continue to monitor its tax status.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had net operating losses from several of its PRC entities of
US$7,066, which can be carried forward to offset future taxable profit. The net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2011 will expire in years 2012 to 2016 if not utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities arising from undistributed earnings

As of December 31, 2010, aggregate undistributed earnings of the PRC subsidiaries that are available for distribution to their
non-PRC parent companies were considered to be indefinitely reinvested under ASC 740-30, Income Taxes: Other Considerations or Special Areas. Accordingly, no deferred tax liabilities were provided for the outside basis of the PRC
entities. As of December 31, 2011, aggregate undistributed earnings of the PRC subsidiaries that are available for distribution to non-PRC parent companies were not considered to be indefinitely reinvested. In accordance with the New EIT Law, a
withholding income tax will be imposed on the PRC subsidiaries when dividends are distributed to their non-PRC parent companies. Accordingly, deferred tax liabilities amounted to US$18,414 were recognized as of December 31, 2011.

Deferred tax liabilities arising from undistributed earnings(continued)



Deferred tax liabilities arising from the aggregate undistributed earnings of the PRC
entities that are available for distribution to PRC tax resident parent companies, that is, the WOFEs, amounted to US$10,219 and US$20,167 as of December 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Stock related award incentive plan of 1999

On September 1, 1999, the Companys shareholders approved the 1999 Stock Related Award Incentive Plan (the 1999
Plan). Under the 1999 Plan, the Company may issue up to 12% of the fully diluted ordinary shares of the Company to its directors and employees. The purpose of the 1999 Plan is to provide additional incentive and motivation to its directors and
employees, through an equity interest in the Company, to work towards increasing the value of the Company. The 1999 Plan provides for accelerated vesting, subject to certain conditions, if there is a change in control. The 1999 Plan has no stated
expiry date.

The exercise price, vesting and other conditions of individual awards are determined by the chairman of the
Company. The awards are typically subject to a 3-year to a 4-year service vesting condition and expire 10 or 15 years after the grant date. In addition, the grantee must return all awards and any proceeds from the sale of the awards if he/she
violates certain provisions including a non-compete condition for a period of 2 years after cessation of employment with the Company. The non-compete condition does not give rise to an in-substance service condition.

Starting from December 31, 2006, the Company awarded Special Stock Options to its employees and directors. Terms for Special Stock
Options are the same as other option grants except the underlying ordinary shares to be received upon exercise of the vested options do not have any entitlement to vote. Every two Special Stock Options is exercisable into one Class A ordinary share.
The Special Stock Options have been accounted for as equity awards and measured at the date on which the terms of the grant was communicated to the grantee (the grant date). These Special Stock Options vest 10% after the first year of
service, 20% after the second year of service, 40% after the third year of service and 30% after the fourth year of service. The contractual life of the Special Stock Option is ten years from the date of grant.

From 2001 to 2003, the Company granted stock options which contained an exercise price denominated in HK$. Since this denomination is
neither the functional currency of the Company nor the currency in which the grantee is paid, these stock options are dual indexed to foreign exchange and the shares of the Company. Accordingly, they are accounted for as liability awards that are
remeasured at fair value with changes recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

|15. | SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS (continued)
|--- | --------------------------------



As of January 1, 2010, there were 1,739,500 stock options outstanding, which are
accounted for as liability awards, with a weighted average exercise price of HK$2.59 and weighted average remaining contractual term of 7.22 years. These liability awards were fully vested. In April 2010, the Company modified the exercise
prices of these fully vested stock options from a range of HK$1 to HK$5 to a range of US$0.13 to US$0.64. The modification resulted in the liability awards being reclassified as equity awards, as the stock options were no longer dual indexed to the
Companys ordinary shares and foreign exchange. No additional compensation expense was recognized at the date of modification, as the modification did not result in any incremental fair value in the new equity awards granted. Share-based
compensation expenses for the liability awards were US$1,242, US$325and nil for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. There were no grants of liability awards during any of the years presented.

On August 4, 2010, the Companys board of directors and shareholders approved the 2010 Stock Related Award Incentive Plan (the 2010 Plan). Under the 2010 Plan, the Company may issue
up to 10% of the total number of ordinary shares, including ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of any preferred shares to its directors and employees. The purpose of the 2010 Plan was to recognize and acknowledge the contributions made to the
Company by eligible employees and to promote the success of the Companys business. The 2010 Plan allows the board of directors, or its designated committee, to establish the performance criteria when granting stock options on the basis of any
one of, or combination of, increase in share price, earnings per share, total shareholder return, return on equity, return on assets, return on investment, net operating income, cash flow, revenue, economic value added, personal management
objectives, or other measures of performance selected by the Companys board of directors, or its designated committee. Partial achievement of the specified criteria may result in a vesting corresponding to the degree of achievement as
specified in the detail rules.

The exercise price, vesting and other conditions of individual awards are determined by the
Chairman of the Company. The awards are typically subject to a 4-year service vesting condition and multiple performance conditions with a contractual life of 10 years. In addition, the grantee must return all awards and any proceeds from the sale
of the awards if he/she violates certain provisions.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the fair value of the Companys ordinary share as at December 31, 2011 and the exercise price. Total intrinsic
value of options exercised for the three years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 was nil, US$20,342 and US$29,373, respectively.

As of December 31, 2011, there was US$14,753 of unrecognized share-based compensation cost related to equity awards that are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 2.18
years. To the extent the actual forfeiture rate is different from the original estimate, actual share-based compensation costs related to these awards may be different from the expectation.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued 2,084,109 shares of common stock and received US$2,655 cash in connection
with the exercise of outstanding stock options.

The fair value for the 1999 Plan was estimated using the binominal option
pricing model by the Company with assistance from an external valuation firm. The volatility assumption was estimated based on the price volatility of the shares of comparable companies in the internet media business because the Company was not a
public company at the grant date and therefore did not have data to calculate expected volatility of the price of the underlying ordinary shares over the expected term of the option. The expected term was estimated based on the resulting output of
the binomial option pricing model. The risk-free rate was based on the market yield of US Treasury Bonds & Notes with maturity terms equal to the expected term of the option awards. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience.
The suboptimal exercise factor of 1.5 is based on external consultants research on the early exercise behavior of employees with stock options.

The fair value for the 2010 plan was estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model by the management. The volatility assumption was estimated based on the implied volatilities of comparable public companies due to the limited historical volatility of the Companys share. The expected term
was estimated based on the average between the vesting term and the contractual term. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Forfeitures were
estimated based on historical experience.

The following table presents the assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the
share options granted in the periods presented:

|17. | EMPLOYEE DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
|--- | ----------------------------------

Full time employees of the Group in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan, pursuant to
which certain pension benefits, medical care, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the PRC subsidiaries of the Group make contributions to the government for these
benefits based on certain percentages of the employees salaries. The Group has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made. The total amounts for such employee benefits, which were expensed as incurred, were US$5,027,
US$10,083 and US$13,431, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.



|18. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
|--- | -----------------------------

Operating lease commitments

As of December 31, 2011, the Group had future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases with initial terms in excess of one year as follows:

|18. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
|--- | -----------------------------------------



Operating lease commitments (continued)



Payments under operating leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the periods
of their respective leases. The Companys lease arrangements have no renewal options, rent escalation clauses, restrictions or contingent rents and are all conducted with third parties. For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011,
total rental expenses for all operating leases amounted to US$4,565, US$7,327 and US$10,765 respectively.

Leasehold
improvement commitment

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Group entered into an agreement with Tianquan
Vincent Mo, the executive chairman of the board of directors, to lease a building owned by him. Pursuant to the lease arrangement, the Group (i) has the right to use the building for 10 years for nil consideration and (ii) is obligated to pay for
all of the contracted leasehold improvement expenses amounting to US$899 to be incurred on the building. For the year ended December 31, 2011, US$572 of the contract amount was paid by the Group and recognized as general and administrative expenses
in the consolidated statements of income. The remaining balance of US$327 will be paid in year 2012.

Variable interest
entity structure

In the opinion of management, (i) the ownership structure of the Company and the PRC Domestic
Entities is in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations; (ii) the contractual arrangements with the PRC Domestic Entities and their shareholders are valid and binding, and will not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations
currently in effect; and (iii) the Groups business operations are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations in all material respects.

However, there are 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 Group and its contractual arrangements with the PRC Domestic Entities are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws and
regulations, the Group may be required to restructure its ownership structure and operations in the PRC to comply with the changing and new PRC laws and regulations. In the opinion of management, the likelihood of loss in respect of the Groups
current ownership structure or the contractual arrangements with the PRC Domestic Entities is remote based on current facts and circumstances.

Income taxes

As of December 31, 2011, the Group has recognized
US$7,439 accrual for unrecognized tax benefits (note 14). The final outcome of the tax uncertainty is dependent upon various matters including tax examinations, interpretation of tax laws or expiration of statutes of limitation. However, due to
the uncertainties associated with the status of examinations, including the protocols of finalizing audits by the relevant tax authorities, there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the future cash outflows associated with these tax
uncertainties. As of December 31, 2011, the Group classified the accrual for unrecognized tax benefits as a current liability.



|19. | SEGMENT REPORTING
|--- | -----------------

In accordance with ASC 280-10 Segment Reporting: Overall, the Groups chief operating decision maker
has been identified as the chief executive officer, who makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on the Groups consolidated results. As a result, the Group has only one reportable segment.

Geographic disclosures:

As the Group generates substantially all of its revenues from customers domiciled in the PRC, no geographical segments are presented. All of the Groups long-lived assets are located in the PRC
except for building and land which are located in the United States of America.

Options to purchase 3,012,762 (exercise price of US$5 to US$10 per share), 4,021,800 (exercise price of
US$10 to US$10.63 per share) and nil ordinary shares were outstanding during the year ended 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options exercise price was
greater than the average fair value of the ordinary shares and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.



|21. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
|--- | -----------------

Bank borrowing

On January 16, 2012, the Group entered into a borrowing agreement with a financial institution in Hong Kong for the sum of US$15,000. The bank borrowing bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.7%, is
repayable on demand and is secured by bank deposits of US$15,290 placed with the branch of the financial institution in the PRC.

Disposal of a subsidiary

On September 19, 2011, the Company entered
into an agreement to dispose its 90% equity shareholding in Beijing Information to Beijing Chuangkai Information Consultancy Co. Ltd, the 10% noncontrolling shareholder of Beijing Information, for nil consideration. Prior to the disposal, the
Company transferred all of Beijing Informations assets and liabilities of US$198 and US$59, respectively, to another subsidiary for nil consideration. Beijing Information was dormant at the time of disposal.

Immediately upon the completion of the disposal on February 8, 2012, Beijing Information was deconsolidated from the Group. As there was
no difference between the fair value of consideration received for the disposal and the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities, no gain or loss is to be recognized in the Companys consolidated statements of income for the year ending
December 31, 2012.

Since the Company transferred all of Beijing Informations assets and liabilities to another
subsidiary prior to disposing Beijing Information, Beijing Information does not meet the definition of a discontinued operation under ASC 205, Presentation of Financial StatementsDiscontinued Operation, as Beijing
Informations operations and cash flows have not been eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Group.

Acquisition of properties

On March 15, 2012, the Group entered into an agreement with Beijing Hengxinjilahua Investment Consultancy Limited, an independent third-party, to acquire certain commercial properties of approximately
2,913 square meters in Sanya, Hainan Province, the PRC, for a total consideration of US$13,093. The commercial properties are intended to be used for Hainan local office as well as internal training purposes. The consideration has been paid in full
by the Group.
