SOHU.COM INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)



|1. | The Company and Basis of Presentation
|-- | -------------------------------------

Nature of Operations

Sohu.com Inc. (Sohu or the Company), a Delaware corporation organized in 1996, is a leading online media, search, gaming, community and mobile service group providing comprehensive
online products and services in the Peoples Republic of China (the PRC or China). The Company, together with its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (collectively the Sohu
Group) mainly offers online brand advertising services, online game services (through Changyou.com Limited), Sogou search and start-up page services (through Sogou Inc.), and wireless services through its Internet sites: sohu.com, 17173.com,
focus.cn, chinaren.com, changyou.com and sogou.com.

Online brand advertising and online game are the two core businesses of the Sohu Group.
The online brand advertising business provides advertisements on the Sohu Groups portal matrix to advertisers who wish to build up their brand awareness online. The online game business, consisting of multi-player online role-playing games
(MMORPGs) and web- based games, is conducted by a majority-owned subsidiary, Changyou.com Limited (Changyou). As of June 30, 2011, Changyou was operating eight MMORPGs, (i) Tian Long Ba Bu (TLBB),
(ii) Blade Online (BO), (iii) Blade Hero 2 (BH 2) which is the sequel to BO, (iv) Da Hua Shui Hu (DHSH), (v) Zhong Hua Ying Xiong (ZHYX), (vi) Immortal Faith (IF),
(vii) San Jie Qi Yuan (SJQY); and (viii) Legend of Ancient World (LAW). TLBB is Changyous first in-house developed MMORPG and is one of the most popular online games in China. The web-based game business is
conducted by a newly acquired majority-owned variable interest entity of Changyou, Shenzhen 7Road Technology Co, Ltd (7Road). 7Roads in-house developed web-based game, DDTank, is one of the most popular web-based games in China.

On April 7, 2009, Changyou completed its initial public offering on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, trading under the symbol
CYOU. After Changyous offering, Sohu continues to consolidate Changyou in Sohus consolidated financial statements, as Sohu is Changyous controlling shareholder, but recognizes noncontrolling interest reflecting shares
held by shareholders other than Sohu. As of June 30, 2011, approximately 31% of the economic interest in Changyou was recognized as noncontrolling interest in Sohus consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 - Changyou Transactions -
Sohus Shareholding in Changyou.

Basis of Consolidation and Recognition of Noncontrolling Interest

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sohu and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities
(VIEs). VIEs are consolidated if the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions are eliminated.

For
majority-owned subsidiaries and VIEs, noncontrolling interest is recognized to reflect the portion of their equity which is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the controlling shareholder.

Basis of Presentation

The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for
the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP)
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.



|2. | Changyou Transactions
|-- | ---------------------

Share-based Award to Tao Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Changyou

In January 2008, Sohu communicated to and agreed with Tao Wang, who is now the Chief Executive Officer of Changyou, to grant him 700,000 ordinary shares
and 800,000 restricted ordinary shares, in lieu of his contingent right in Beijing Fire Fox Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (Beijing Fire Fox), which was one of Sohus subsidiaries devoted to the development of TLBB.

##### Table of Contents

The 800,000 restricted ordinary shares were subject to a four-year vesting period commencing
February 1, 2008. In addition, Tao Wang would not be entitled to participate in any distributions on Changyou shares, whether or not vested, until the earlier of Changyous completion of an initial public offering or February 2012, and in
any event entitlement to distributions would be subject to vesting of the shares.

In January 2009, under Changyous 2008 Share Incentive
Plan described below, Changyou issued 700,000 of its Class B ordinary shares and 800,000 of its Class B restricted ordinary shares to Tao Wang through Prominence Investments Ltd. (Prominence), which is an entity deemed under applicable
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules to be beneficially owned by Tao Wang.

In February 2009, 200,000 Class B restricted
ordinary shares held by Prominence became vested. Upon this vesting, the number of Class B ordinary shares held beneficially by Tao Wang increased to 900,000 shares and the number of Class B restricted ordinary shares held beneficially by Tao Wang
decreased to 600,000 shares.

In March 2009, in preparation for its initial public offering, Changyou effected a ten-for-one share split that
resulted in the aforementioned 900,000 Class B ordinary shares and 600,000 Class B restricted ordinary shares becoming 9,000,000 Class B ordinary shares and 6,000,000 Class B restricted ordinary shares, respectively.

Upon the completion of Changyous initial public offering in April 2009, vested Class B ordinary shares held by Prominence became entitled to
participate in distributions on Changyou shares. Since the completion of the initial public offering, Class B restricted ordinary shares held by Prominence have continued, and will continue, to become vested from time to time in accordance with
their terms.

Changyous 2008 Share Incentive Plan

On December 31, 2008, Changyou reserved 2,000,000 of its ordinary shares, which included 1,774,000 Class B ordinary shares and 226,000 Class A ordinary shares, for issuance to certain of its
executive officers and to certain of its employees as incentive compensation under Changyous 2008 Share Incentive Plan. As described above, 700,000 ordinary shares and 800,000 restricted ordinary shares were granted to Tao Wang through
Prominence under this incentive plan.

In March 2009, the 2,000,000 reserved ordinary shares were subject to a ten-for-one share split
effected by Changyou and became 20,000,000 ordinary shares.

Initial Public Offering of Changyou

On April 7, 2009, Changyou completed its initial public offering of 7,500,000 Class A ordinary shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, and
Sohu sold 9,750,000 Class A ordinary shares of Changyou. Changyou is currently trading under the symbol CYOU.

The initial
public offering consisted of American depositary shares (ADSs), with each ADS representing two Class A ordinary shares. Changyous ordinary shares are divided into Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares.
Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares have the same rights in Changyou, with the exception of voting and conversion rights. Each Class A ordinary share is entitled to one vote on all matters subject to a
shareholder vote, and each Class B ordinary share is entitled to ten votes on all matters subject to a shareholder vote. Each Class B ordinary share is convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time at the election of the holder.
Class A ordinary shares are not convertible into Class B ordinary shares under any circumstances.

Sohus Shareholding in
Changyou

Shareholding and Control

As of June 30, 2011, Changyou had outstanding a combined total of 105,010,000 Class A and Class B ordinary shares, consisting of (i) 70,250,000 Class B ordinary shares held by Sohu through
its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary Sohu.com (Game) Limited (Sohu Game); (ii) 14,397,000 Class B ordinary shares held by Tao Wang through Prominence, including 2,000,000 Class B restricted ordinary shares that were not vested;
(iii) 17,853,000 Class A ordinary shares held by public shareholders; (iv) 1,805,000 Class A ordinary shares issued to certain of Changyous executive officers other than Tao Wang and to certain of its employees upon
conversion of Class B ordinary shares that had been issued upon the vesting and settlement of Class B restricted share units granted to them; and (v) 705,000 Class A ordinary shares issued to certain of Changyous executive officers
other than Tao Wang and to certain of its employees upon the vesting and settlement of Class A restricted share units granted to them.

As of June 30, 2011, treating Tao Wangs 2,000,000 Class B restricted ordinary shares as owned by Tao Wang, Sohu held approximately 67% of the
combined total of Changyous outstanding Class A and Class B ordinary shares and controlled approximately 81% of the total voting power in Changyou. As a result, Sohu had the power to elect the entire Board of Directors of Changyou and
determine the outcome of all matters submitted to a shareholder vote. As Changyous controlling shareholder, Sohu will continue to consolidate Changyou in Sohus consolidated financial statements but recognize noncontrolling interest
reflecting shares held by shareholders other than Sohu, as discussed in Note 13  Noncontrolling Interest  Noncontrolling Interest for Changyou.

##### Table of Contents

Economic Interest

Because Tao Wangs 2,000,000 Class B restricted ordinary shares are subject to forfeiture to Sohu until they become vested, for accounting purposes those shares are treated as owned by Sohu, rather
than as owned by Tao Wang, and therefore those shares are not included in the noncontrolling interest line items in Sohus consolidated financial statements. As a result, as of June 30, 2011, Sohu was treated as holding approximately 69%
of the economic interest in Changyou. Accordingly, shareholders other than Sohu were treated as holding the remaining 31% of the economic interest, which was recognized as noncontrolling interest in Sohus consolidated financial statements, as
discussed in Note 13  Noncontrolling Interest  Noncontrolling Interest for Changyou.

Sohus economic interest in Changyou,
as well as the noncontrolling interest recognized for Changyou in Sohus consolidated financial statements, will continue to change as the Class B restricted ordinary shares granted to Tao Wang become vested, and the restricted share units
granted to certain of Changyous executive officers other than Tao Wang and to certain of its employees and Sohus employees become vested and settled.

Dilutive Impact

As of June 30, 2011, Changyou had outstanding a combined total of
1,884,200 Class A and Class B restricted ordinary shares and restricted share units.

Because no Class A ordinary shares or Class B
ordinary shares will be issued with respect to these restricted share units until the restricted share units are vested and settled, the unvested restricted share units and vested restricted share units that have not yet been settled are not
included as outstanding shares of Changyou and have no impact on Sohus basic net income per share. Unvested restricted share units and vested restricted share units that have not yet been settled do, however, have a dilutive impact on
Sohus diluted net income per share.

In the calculation of Sohus diluted net income per share, Sohus economic interest in
Changyou is calculated treating all of Changyous existing unvested restricted shares, unvested restricted share units, and vested restricted share units that have not yet been settled as vested, in the case of restricted shares, and vested and
settled, in the case of restricted shares units. See Note 14 - Net Income per Share.



|3. | Sogou Transactions
|-- | ------------------

Restructuring Transactions

During 2010, the Company restructured the Sogou search business in preparation for the sale by its online search subsidiary Sogou Inc. (Sogou) of newly-issued Series A Preferred Shares to
Alibaba Investment Limited (Alibaba), a private investment subsidiary of Alibaba Group Holding Limited, China Web Search (HK) Limited (China Web), an investment vehicle of Yunfeng Fund, LP, and Photon Group Limited
(Photon), the investment fund of Sohus Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Charles Zhang.

In the restructuring,
the Company transferred to Sogou certain assets and liabilities associated with the mobile version of Sogou Pinyin, and transferred to Sohu certain non-search assets and liabilities that had been held by Sogou. Sogou will remain liable for a loan
payable to Sohu in the amount of $45 million, which will be payable solely from the proceeds of an initial public offering by Sogou. The loan amount consists primarily of losses historically incurred in search business and previously funded by Sohu.

On October 22, 2010, Sogou completed the sale of newly-issued Series A Preferred Shares to Alibaba, China Web and Photon for $15
million, $9 million, and $24 million, respectively.

Sogou Series A Terms

The following is a summary of some of the key terms of the Sogou Series A Preferred Shares.

Dividend Rights

Sogou may not declare or pay dividends on its ordinary shares unless the
holders of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding first receive a dividend on each outstanding Series A Preferred Share in an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) the dividends that would have been payable to the holder of such
Series A Preferred Share if such share had been converted into ordinary shares, at the then-applicable conversion rate, immediately prior to the record date for such dividend, and (ii) all accrued and unpaid Accruing Dividends. Accruing
Dividends are calculated from the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares at the rate per annum of $0.0375 per Series A Preferred Share.

##### Table of Contents

Liquidation Rights

In the event of any Liquidation Event, such as the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Sogou, a merger or consolidation of Sogou resulting in a change of control, the sale of
substantially all of Sogous assets or similar events, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, before any payment to holders of ordinary shares, an amount equal to the greater of (i) 1.3 times the original $48
million of the Series A Preferred Shares plus all accrued but unpaid Accruing Dividends and any other accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares or (ii) such amount per share as would be payable if the Series A Preferred
Shares had been converted into ordinary shares, at the then-applicable conversion rate, immediately prior to the Liquidation Event.

Redemption Rights

The Series A
Preferred Shares are not redeemable.

Conversion Rights

Each Series A Preferred Share is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder. Each Series A Preferred Share is convertible into
such number of ordinary shares as is determined by dividing the original issue price of Series A Preferred Share by the then-effective conversion price. The conversion price is initially the same as the original issue price of $0.625, and is subject
to adjustment on a weighted average basis upon the issuance of additional equity shares, or securities convertible into equity shares, at a price per share less than the original price per share of the Series A Preferred Shares, subject to certain
customary exceptions, such as shares issued pursuant to the Sogou 2010 Share Incentive Plan. Each Series A Preferred Share will be automatically converted into ordinary shares of Sogou upon the closing of a qualified initial public offering of Sogou
based on the then-effective conversion price.

Voting Rights

Each holder of Series A Preferred Shares is entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of ordinary shares into which the Series A Preferred Shares held by such holder are then convertible.

Other Rights

The Series A
Terms include various other provisions typical of preferred share investments, such as rights of first refusal and co-sale, and registration rights.

Sogous 2010 Share Incentive Plan

Sogou 2010 Share Incentive Plan

On October 20, 2010, Sogou adopted the Sogou 2010 Share Incentive Plan (the Sogou 2010 Share Incentive Plan), which
provides for the issuance of up to 24,000,000 ordinary shares of Sogou to management and key employees of Sogou and of any present or future parents or subsidiaries or variable interest entities of Sogou. The maximum term of any issued share right
under the Sogou 2010 Share Incentive Plan is ten years from the grant date. The Sogou 2010 Share Incentive Plan will expire on October 19, 2020. In March 2011, the Boards of Directors of Sohu and Sogou approved a program of grants pursuant to
which, on April 1, 2011, Sogou issued options for the purchase of 18,930,500 ordinary shares.

These share options will become vested and
exercisable in four equal installments, with each installment vesting upon Sogous achievement of the performance target for the corresponding period. The performance target for each installment will be set at the beginning of each vesting
period, therefore each installment is considered to be granted at that date.

Share-based Awards to Sohu management

Under an arrangement approved by the Boards of Directors of Sohu and Sogou in March 2011, Sohu has the right to provide to Sohus management and key
employees the opportunity to purchase from Sohu up to 12,000,000 ordinary shares of Sogou at a fixed exercise price of $0.625 per share. Of these 12,000,000 ordinary shares, 8,800,000 are Sogou ordinary shares previously held by Sohu and 3,200,000
are Sogou ordinary shares that were newly-issued on April 14, 2011 by Sogou to Sohu at a price of $0.625 per share, or a total of $2 million. During the second quarter of 2011, Sogou issued options for the purchase of 8,773,000 Sogou ordinary
shares options to Sohu management and key employees under this arrangement. These share options will become vested and exercisable in four equal installments, with each installment vesting upon Sogous achievement of the performance target for
the corresponding period. The performance target for each installment will be set at the beginning of each period, therefore each installment is considered to be granted at that date.

Shareholding and Control

Sogous outstanding ordinary shares and Series A preferred shares. As a result, Sohu had the power to elect the entire Board of Directors of Sogou and determine the outcome of all matters submitted to a shareholder vote. As Sogous
controlling shareholder, Sohu will continue to consolidate Sogou in Sohus consolidated financial statements but recognize noncontrolling interest reflecting shares held by shareholders other than Sohu, as discussed in Note 13 
Noncontrolling Interest  Noncontrolling Interest for Sogou.

Dilutive Impact

Because no ordinary shares will be issued with respect to these share options granted by Sogou until they are vested and exercised, the Sogou shares
underlying the unvested share options granted by Sogou are not included as outstanding shares of Sogou, and have no impact on Sohus basic net income per share. In addition, as no Sogou share options will be vested until the applicable
performance targets are met, the share options have no dilutive impact on Sohus diluted net income per share until they are vested. See Note 14  Net Income per Share.



|4. | Segment Information
|-- | -------------------

There are five
business segments that constitute the primary reporting segments of Sohu Group. They are Changyou, which mainly consists of online game business, Sogou, which mainly consists of Sogou search and start-up page business, online brand advertising,
wireless and others. Beginning with the second quarter of 2011, to better reflect managements perspective and match the segment with the entity, the Company changed the segment name of game and sponsored search to Changyou and Sogou,
respectively.

In 2010, the chief operating decision maker (CODM) began reviewing certain additional information for the Sogou
segment. Accordingly, the Company has adjusted the Sogou segment operating performance measurement disclosures to include income from operations and the main segment assets for the Sogou segment. For the remaining segments, the operating performance
measurements are unchanged.

Consistent with prior periods, some items, such as share-based compensation expense, operating expenses, other
income and expense, and income tax expense, are not reviewed by the CODM. These items are disclosed in the segment information for reconciliation purposes only.

The Company has restated the presentation of its segments for prior periods to conform to the current presentation, and it will restate all comparable periods hereafter.

|6. | Income Taxes
|-- | ------------

Sohu and Changyou.com (US) Inc. are subject to income taxes in the United States (U.S.). The majority of the subsidiaries
and VIEs of the Company are based in mainland China and are subject to income taxes in the PRC. These China-based subsidiaries and VIEs conduct substantially all of the Companys operations, and generate most of the Companys income.

The Company did not have any interest or penalties associated with tax positions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, nor
did the Company have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2011.

PRC Corporate Income Tax

Related to New and High Technology Enterprises

Under the previous PRC income tax law, which expired on December 31, 2007, New and High Technology Enterprises (NHTEs) located in the Zhongguancun zone of Beijing (BJ ZGC)
were exempted from income tax for three years beginning with their first year of operations and were entitled to a 50% tax reduction to 7.5% for the subsequent three years and 15% thereafter. The years during which NHTEs enjoy preferential tax rates
are known as tax holidays.

Effective January 1, 2008, the current PRC Corporate Income Tax Law (the CIT Law)
imposes a unified income tax rate of 25% for both domestic and wholly foreign-owned enterprises (WFOEs) but grants preferential tax treatment to NHTEs. Under the CIT Law, NHTEs can enjoy a preferential income tax rate of 15% for three
years but need to re-apply after the end of the three-year period. The current CIT Law provides grandfathering treatment allowing NHTEs to continue to enjoy their unexpired tax holidays under the previous PRC income tax law, as long as these NHTEs
continue to meet the criteria for NHTEs under the current CIT Law and were (i) qualified as NHTEs under the previous PRC income tax law, and (ii) established before March 16, 2007.

Three China-based subsidiaries, Beijing Sohu New Era Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Sohu
Era), Beijing Sohu New Media Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Sohu Media) and Beijing Sogou Technology Development Co., Ltd. (Sogou Technology), qualified as NHTEs during the year ended December 31, 2008. In July
2011, in accordance with guidance issued by governmental authorities, these three companies resubmitted application materials for qualification as NHTEs. Pending approval of these resubmitted applications, the three companies will be entitled to
continue to enjoy their beneficial tax rates as if they had already qualified as NHTEs for 2011. Therefore, for the year 2011, Sohu Era will be subject to a 15% income tax rate; Sohu Media and Sogou Technology will enjoy a 7.5% income tax rate due
to their unexpired tax holidays.

Two China-based VIEs, Beijing Sohu Internet Information Service Co., Ltd. (Sohu Internet) and
Beijing Sogou Information Service Co., Ltd. (Sogou Information), qualified as NHTEs during the year ended December 31, 2009. These two companies will reapply for qualification in 2012. In 2011, Sohu Internet will be subject to a 15%
income tax rate and Sogou Information will enjoy a 7.5% income tax rate due to its unexpired tax holiday.

Related to Software Enterprises

Under the current CIT Law, a Software Enterprise can enjoy an income tax exemption for two years beginning with its first profitable year
and a 50% tax reduction to a rate of 12.5% for the subsequent three years.

In 2008, the China-based subsidiary and the VIE of Changyou,
Beijing AmazGame Age Internet Technology Co., Ltd. (AmazGame) and Beijing Gamease Age Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (Gamease) qualified as Software Enterprises. As a result, both AmazGame and Gamease became subject
to a 0% income tax rate for the full year 2008 and a 50% tax reduction to a rate of 12.5% from the fiscal year 2009 through the fiscal year 2011. In 2009, 7Road qualified as a Software Enterprise, which entitled 7Road to an income tax
exemption in 2009 and 2010. 7Road became subject to a 50% tax reduction to a rate of 12.5% from the fiscal year 2011 through the fiscal year 2013. Beijing Changyou Gamespace Software Technology Co., Ltd. (Gamespace), Beijing Guanyou
Gamespace Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (Guanyou Gamespace), ICE Information Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (ICE WFOE) and Shanghai ICE Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Shanghai ICE) have qualified as
Software Enterprises and will be entitled to an income tax exemption for two years beginning with their first profitable year and 50% tax reduction for the subsequent three years.



|7. | Commitments and Contingencies
|-- | -----------------------------

Contractual Obligation

The Company entered into an agreement to purchase an office building to be built in Beijing, which will serve as the Companys headquarters, for a purchase price of $124 million. As of June 30,
2011, $80 million had been paid and was recognized as prepaid non-current assets in the Companys consolidated financial statements. The remaining $44 million payment will be settled in installments as various stages of the development plan are
completed. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2012.

Changyou entered into an agreement to purchase an office building to
be built in Beijing, which will serve as its headquarters, for a purchase price of approximately $153 million. As of June 30, 2011, $61 million had been paid and was recognized as prepaid non-current assets in the Companys consolidated
financial statements. The remaining $92 million payment will be settled in installments as various stages of the development plan are completed. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2012.

The Sohu Group also has some commitments related to future minimum content and service purchases, operating lease obligations, and license fees of games
developed by third-parties.

Litigation

The Sohu Group is a party to various litigation matters which it considers routine and incidental to its business. Management does not expect the results of any of these actions to have a material adverse
effect on the Companys business, results of operations or financial condition.

In March 2008, the Sohu Group was sued by four major
record companies, Sony BMG, Warner, Universal and Gold Label, which alleged that the Sohu Group provided music search links and download services that violated copyrights they owned. As of June 30, 2011, the lawsuits with these four record
companies were still in process. At this stage, an estimation of the loss cannot be made.

Laws and Regulations

The Chinese market in which the Sohu Group operates poses certain macro-economic and regulatory risks and uncertainties. These uncertainties extend to the ability to operate an Internet business and to
conduct online brand advertising, online game, Sogou search and start-up page, wireless and others services in the PRC. Though the PRC has, since 1978, implemented a wide range of market-oriented economic reforms, continued reforms and progress
towards a full market-oriented economy are uncertain. In addition, the telecommunication, information, and media industries remain highly regulated. Restrictions are currently in place and are unclear with respect to which segments of these
industries foreign-owned entities, like the Sohu Group, may operate. The Chinese government may issue from time to time new laws or new interpretations of existing laws to regulate areas such as telecommunication, information and media.

Regulatory risks also encompass the interpretation by the tax authorities of current tax laws and regulations, including the applicability of certain
preferential tax treatments. The Sohu Groups legal structure and scope of operations in China could be subject to restrictions, which could result in severe limits on its ability to conduct business in the PRC.

The Sohu Groups sales, purchase and expense transactions are generally denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the Sohu Groups assets
and liabilities are denominated in RMB. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions. Remittances in currencies
other than RMB by its subsidiaries in China may require certain supporting documentation in order to effect the remittance.



|8. | Fair Value Measurements
|-- | -----------------------

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Companys financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, investment in debt securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The
carrying amount of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value, other financial instruments are measured at their respective fair values. For fair value measurement, U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier
hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 - observable inputs that reflect
quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - include other inputs that are directly or
indirectly observable in the market place.

Level 3 - unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair
value.

The following table sets forth the financial instruments, measured at fair value, by level within the fair value hierarchy as of
June 30, 2011 (in thousands):

Cash equivalents:

The Companys cash equivalents mainly consist of time deposits placed with banks for less than three months. The fair value of time deposits is determined based on the pervasive interest rates in the
market, which are also the interest rates as stated in the contracts with the banks. The Company classifies the valuation techniques that use the pervasive interest rates input as Level 2 of fair value measurement. See above Fair Value of
Financial Instruments.

Short-term investments

In accordance with ASC 825, for investments in financial instruments with a variable interest rate indexed to performance of underlying assets, the Company elected the fair value method at the date of
initial recognition and carried these investments at fair value. Changes in the fair value are reflected in the consolidated statements of income as other income. To estimate fair value, the Company used the marked-to-market method to refer to the
price of similar products provided by issuers at the end of each period end. The Company classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 2 of fair value measurement. See above Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

As of June 30, 2011, the Companys investments in financial instruments were mainly held by 7Road, totaling approximately $15.3
million. The investments are issued by commercial banks in China with a variable interest rate indexed to performance of underlying assets. Since these investments maturity dates are within one year, they are classified as short-term
investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded $40,000 interest income from short-term investments in the consolidated statements of operations.

Investment in Debt Securities

In September 2010, the Company purchased from a
PRC-based company (the Debtor) a convertible debt security with a principal amount of $74.6 million (equal to RMB0.5 billion) with an initial maturity of twelve months subject to extension at the Companys election in its sole
discretion for additional sequential six-month periods, and bearing interest at the rate of 3.8% per annum, payable quarterly in cash. The Debtors obligations on the debt are secured by a pledge from the Debtors parent company of
its entire equity interest in the Debtor. Under the terms of the security, if the Company continues to extend the maturity to March 31, 2014, it will have an option, exercisable on March 31, 2014, to convert the outstanding principal into
fixed percentages of equity interests in two companies which are affiliates of the Debtor. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the interest income generated from this debt security amounted to $0.74 million and $1.45 million
respectively.

The Company elected the fair value option to account for its investments in debt securities at their initial recognition.
Changes in fair value generated from currency translation in the amount of $1.06 million and $1.75 million, respectively, were recognized in other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. There is no difference between the fair
value and the unpaid principal balance of the debt securities as of June 30, 2011. To estimate fair value, the Company used the income approach, which considers the estimated future return from the investment and the probabilities of getting
these returns. The Company classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 3 of fair value measurement. See above Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Acquisition of 7Road

On May 11, 2011, Changyou acquired 68.258% of the equity interests of 7Road for fixed cash consideration of approximately $68.26 million, plus additional variable cash consideration of up to a
maximum of $32.76 million that is contingent upon the achievement of specified performance milestones through December 31, 2012. 7Road is primarily engaged in web-based game development. The Company began to consolidate 7Roads financial
statements commencing June 1, 2011. The purpose of the acquisition was to accelerate Changyous position in Chinas online games industry and add a new category of games to Changyous growing product portfolio.

On the acquisition date, the allocation of the consideration of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair value was as follows (in
thousands):

The excess of the purchase price over tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed
was recorded as goodwill. The acquired identifiable intangible assets were valued by various approaches, including the income approach and the replacement cost approach, as appropriate. As of June 30, 2011, no measurement period adjustment had
been recorded.

The fair value of noncontrolling interest in 7Road has been determined mainly based on the number of shares held by
noncontrolling shareholders and the equity value close to the acquisition date, taking into consideration other factors, as appropriate. If 7Road achieves specified performance milestones, subject to certain other specified circumstances the
noncontrolling shareholders will have the right to put their equity interests in 7Road to Changyou at a pre-determined price agreed upon at the acquisition date (the put option). In accordance with ASC480, the Company measured this
noncontrolling interest and a put option at their acquisition-date fair value. An independent valuation firm was hired to determine the fair value upon the acquisition date.

The acquisition of 7Road includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by Changyou based on the future financial performance of 7Road over a period
through December 31, 2012. The range of the undiscounted amounts the Company could pay under the contingent consideration agreement is between nil and $32.76 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition
date of $28.05 million was estimated by an independent valuation firm, with the income approach applied. There are no indemnification assets involved.

Total identifiable intangible assets acquired upon acquisition mainly include completed game, games under development and other identifiable intangible assets acquired, including non-compete agreement of
$179,000, and relationship with operator of $807,000. The games under development will be subject to amortization after completion. Completed game and other identifiable intangible assets acquired are amortized over an estimated average weighted
useful life of five years. Total goodwill of $103.37 million primarily represents the expected synergies from combining operations of 7Road with those of Changyou, which are expected to be complementary to each other. In accordance with ASC350,
goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment and is not deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisition of Shanghai Jingmao and its
affiliate

In May 2010, Changyou acquired 50% of the equity interests in each of Shanghai Jing Mao Culture Communication Co. Limited
(Shanghai Jingmao) and its affiliate which are primarily engaged in the cinema advertising business in China. The investment was accounted for under the equity method of accounting due to Changyous inability to control Shanghai
Jingmao. At the end of January 2011, Changyou acquired the remaining 50% of the equity interests in each of Shanghai Jingmao and its affiliate for total consideration of approximately $3.0 million. Payments for $1.0 million of the total
consideration are contingent upon occurrence of certain specified events and management considers the possibility of Changyou making gains due to the non-occurrence of the specified events to be remote. With unilateral control of 100% of the voting
equity interests of Shanghai Jingmao and its affiliate, Changyou started to consolidate Shanghai Jingmao and its affiliates financial statements commencing February 1, 2011. The purpose of the acquisition was to secure additional
advertising resources for the promotion of Changyous online games.

In accordance with ASC805 in a business combination achieved in stages, Changyou re-measured its previously held equity
interests in Shanghai Jingmao and its affiliate as at their acquisition-date fair value and recognized a total loss of $613,000 in other expenses in the first quarter of 2011. An independent valuation firm was hired to determine the fair value of
the previously held equity interests in Shanghai Jing Mao and its affiliate as of the acquisition date.

The excess of the purchase price over
tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The acquired identifiable intangible assets were valued by various approaches, including the income approach and the replacement cost
approach, as appropriate. As of June 30, 2011, no measurement period adjustment had been recorded. Based on the Companys assessment of their financial performance, Shanghai Jingmao and its affiliate, as stand-alone entities or combined
with Sohu through Changyou, are not considered material to the Sohu Group for the period presented.

Total identifiable intangible assets
acquired upon acquisition mainly include publishing rights of $8,330,000, partnership relationship of $1,035,000, trade name of $502,000, non-compete agreement of $126,000, and customer list of $108,000. Except for the trade name, which is expected
to have an indefinite useful life, other identifiable intangible assets acquired have an estimated average weighted useful life of two years. Under ASC350, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized and their remaining useful
life is evaluated at each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite life. Total goodwill of $5.1 million primarily represents the expected synergies from combining operations of Shanghai Jingmao
and its affiliate with those of Changyou, which are complementary to each other. In accordance with ASC350, goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment and is not deductible for tax purposes.



|10. | VIEs
|--- | ----

To satisfy PRC laws and regulations, the Company conducts certain business in the PRC through its VIEs. The Company consolidates all of
its VIEs in its consolidated financial statements.

All the VIEs are directly or indirectly owned by Dr. Charles Zhang (Dr.
Zhang), the Companys Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and a major shareholder, and certain executive officer and employees of the Sohu Group. Capital for these VIEs was funded by the Sohu Group through loans provided to Dr. Zhang
and those executive officer and employees, and was initially recorded as loans to related parties. These loans are eliminated for accounting purposes against the capital of the VIEs upon consolidation.

Under contractual agreements with the Sohu Group, Dr. Zhang and those executive officer and employees of the Sohu Group who are shareholders of the
VIEs are required to transfer their ownership in these entities to the Sohu Group, if permitted by PRC laws and regulations, or, if not so permitted, to designees of the Sohu Group at any time to repay the loans outstanding. All voting rights of the
VIEs are assigned to the Sohu Group, and the Sohu Group has the right to designate all directors and senior management personnel of the VIEs, also has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIEs. Dr. Zhang and those executive officer and
employees of the Sohu Group who are shareholders of the VIEs have pledged their shares in the VIEs as collateral for the loans. As of June 30, 2011, the aggregate amount of these loans was $14.4 million.

As of June 30, 2011, the total assets for the consolidated VIEs were $268.3 million, mainly comprising cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable and fixed assets. As of June 30, 2011, the total liabilities for the consolidated VIEs were $80.3 million, mainly comprising receipts in advance and deferred revenue and accrued liabilities. These balances are reflected in
Sohus consolidated financial statements with intercompany transactions eliminated.

Under the contractual arrangements with the VIEs,
the Company has the power to direct activities of the VIEs, and can have assets transferred freely out of the VIEs without any restrictions. Therefore the Company considers that there is no asset of a consolidated VIE that can be used only to settle
obligations of the VIE, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves of the VIEs amounting to a total of $33.6 million as of June 30, 2011. As all the consolidated VIEs are incorporated as limited liability companies under the PRC
Company Law, creditors of the VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of the liabilities of the consolidated VIEs, which consisted of receipts in advance and deferred revenue of $41.1 million, accrued liabilities of
$20.6 million, taxes payable of $10.6 million, and other accrued liabilities of $8.0 million, totaled $80.3 million. Currently there is no contractual arrangement that could require the Company to provide additional financial support to the
consolidated VIEs. As the Company is conducting certain business in the PRC mainly through the VIEs, the Company may provide such support on a discretionary basis in the future, which could expose the Company to a loss.

|11. | Sohu.com Inc. Shareholders Equity
|--- | ----------------------------------

Stockholder Rights Plan

Sohu adopted a stockholder rights plan (the Plan) in 2001. The Plan was designed to deter coercive takeover tactics, including the accumulation of shares in the open market or through private
transactions, and to prevent an acquirer from gaining control of Sohu without offering a fair and adequate price and terms to all of Sohus stockholders. In general, the Plan vested stockholders of Sohu with rights to purchase preferred stock
of Sohu at a substantial discount from those securities fair market value upon a person or group acquiring without the approval of the Board of Directors more than 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sohu. Any person or group who
triggered the purchase right distribution would have become ineligible to participate in the Plan, which would have caused substantial dilution of such person or groups holdings. The rights expired on July 25, 2011.

Stock Incentive Plan

Sohu,
Changyou and Sogou all have incentive plans for the granting of share-based awards, including common stock/ordinary shares, share options, restricted shares and restricted share units, to their employees and directors.

1) Sohu.com Inc. Share-based Awards

Sohus 2000 Stock Incentive Plan

Sohus 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the Sohu 2000 Stock Incentive Plan) provided for the issuance of up to 9,500,000 shares of common stock, including those issued pursuant to the exercise
of share options and upon vesting and settlement of restricted share units. The maximum term of any issued stock right under the Sohu 2000 Stock Incentive Plan is ten years from the grant date. The Sohu 2000 Stock Incentive Plan expired on
January 24, 2010 and a new plan (the Sohu 2010 Stock Incentive Plan discussed below) was adopted on July 2, 2010. As of the expiration date, 9,128,724 shares of common stock had been issued or were subject to issuance upon the vesting and
exercise of share options or the vesting and settlement of restricted share units granted under the plan.

June 30, 2011, total share-based compensation expense recognized for awards under the Sohu 2000 Stock Incentive Plan was $2.3 million and $5.5 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, total share-based

Note (1): The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the difference between Sohus closing
stock price of $72.27 on June 30, 2011 and the exercise price of share options. The total intrinsic value of share options exercised for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $6.2 million.

No options have been granted under Sohus 2000 Stock Incentive Plan since 2006. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, no
compensation expense was recognized for share options because the requisite service periods for share options had ended by the end of 2009.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, total cash received from the exercise of share options amounted to $0.2 million and $1.4 million,
respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, total cash received from the exercise of share options amounted to $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

2) Changyou.com Limited Share-based Awards

On December 31, 2008, Changyou reserved 2,000,000 of its ordinary shares, which included 1,774,000 Class B ordinary shares and 226,000 Class A ordinary shares, for issuance to certain of its
executive officers and employees as incentive compensation under Changyous 2008 Share Incentive Plan (the Changyou 2008 Share Incentive Plan).

In March 2009, the 2,000,000 reserved ordinary shares were subject to a ten-for-one share split effected by Changyou and became 20,000,000 ordinary shares.

Through June 30, 2011, Changyou has granted under the Changyou 2008 Share Incentive Plan 13,000,000 Class B ordinary shares and 2,000,000 Class B
restricted ordinary shares to Tao Wang through Prominence and 4,545,200 Class A and Class B restricted share units (settleable by Changyous issuance of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares, respectively) to certain of
its executive officers other than Tao Wang and to certain of its employees and Sohus employees.

For the three and six months ended
June 30, 2011, total share-based compensation expense recognized for awards under the Changyou 2008 Share Incentive Plan was $1.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, total share-based
compensation expense recognized for awards under the Changyou 2008 Share Incentive Plan was $2.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively.

Share-based Awards granted before Changyous Initial Public Offering

i) Share-based Award to Tao Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Changyou

As discussed above in Note
2 - Changyou Transactions, in January 2008, Sohu communicated to and agreed with Tao Wang to grant him 700,000 ordinary shares and 800,000 restricted ordinary shares, in lieu of his contingent right in Beijing Fire Fox. The difference between the
fair value (Incremental Fair Value), of these 700,000 ordinary shares and 800,000 restricted ordinary shares and Tao Wangs contingent right in Beijing Fire Fox was accounted for as share-based compensation expense.

In February 2009, 200,000 Class B restricted ordinary shares held by Prominence became vested. Upon this vesting, the number of Class B ordinary shares
held beneficially by Tao Wang increased to 900,000 shares and the number of Class B restricted ordinary shares held beneficially by Tao Wang decreased to 600,000 shares.

On March 16, 2009, the ordinary shares described above, which had been issued as 700,000 Class B ordinary shares and 800,000 Class B restricted ordinary shares in January 2009 and had become 900,000
Class B ordinary shares and 600,000 Class B restricted ordinary shares in February 2009 as a result of vesting, became 9,000,000 Class B ordinary shares and 6,000,000 Class B restricted ordinary shares, respectively, as a result of a ten-for-one
share split effected by Changyou on that date.

For the 700,000 ordinary shares, because the terms of the issuance of these ordinary shares
had been approved and were communicated to and agreed with Tao Wang as of January 2, 2008, this was considered the grant date. Accordingly, the Incremental Fair Value was determined as of that date. The portion of the Incremental Fair Value
related to these ordinary shares, equal to $1.8 million, was recognized as share-based compensation expense in product development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

##### Table of Contents

For the 800,000 restricted ordinary shares, as a result of the modification of their vesting terms in April
2008, the portion of the Incremental Fair Value related to these shares, equal to $7.0 million, was determined in April 2008, and was accounted for as share-based compensation expense over the vesting period starting from the date of the
modification, following the accelerated basis of attribution. A summary of activity for these restricted ordinary shares as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is presented below:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, total share-based compensation expense recognized for the
abovementioned Class B restricted ordinary shares was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, total share-based compensation expense recognized for the abovementioned Class
B restricted ordinary shares was $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2011, there was $0.3 million of
unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested Class B restricted ordinary shares. The total fair value of Class B restricted ordinary shares vested to Tao Wang on their respective vesting dates during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2011 was nil and $39.7 million, respectively. The total fair value of Class B restricted ordinary shares vested to Tao Wang on their respective vesting dates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was nil and $32.7
million, respectively.

The fair value of the ordinary shares and restricted ordinary shares was assessed using the income approach/discounted
cash flow method, with a discount for lack of marketability given that the shares underlying the award were not publicly traded at the time of grant, and was determined partly in reliance on a report prepared by a qualified professional appraiser
using managements estimates and assumptions. This assessment required complex and subjective judgments regarding Changyous projected financial and operating results, its unique business risks, the liquidity of its ordinary shares and its
operating history and prospects at the time the grants were made.

ii) Share-based Awards to Executive Officers (other than Tao Wang) and
Certain Key Employees

In April 2008, Changyou approved and communicated to executive officers other than Tao Wang the grant of an aggregate
of 180,000 restricted ordinary shares and to certain key employees the grant of an aggregate of 94,000 restricted share units of Changyou (settleable in ordinary shares upon vesting). These restricted ordinary shares and restricted share units were
subject to vesting over a four-year period commencing on February 1, 2008, with initial vesting also subject to the listing of Changyous ordinary shares in an initial public offering by Changyou. The fair value of the awards at grant date
was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations starting from April 2, 2009, when ADSs representing Changyous Class A ordinary shares were first listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

On January 15, 2009, Changyou issued 180,000 Class B restricted ordinary shares to executive officers other than Tao Wang and granted 94,000 Class B
restricted share units to certain key employees, the grant of which had been approved and communicated in April 2008 as described above.

On

Determining the fair value of the ordinary shares of Sogou required complex and subjective judgments regarding its
projected financial and operating results, its unique business risks, the liquidity of its ordinary shares and its operating history and prospects at the time the grants were made.

The Company and a qualified professional appraiser estimated the fair value of Sogous common shares primarily using the income approach in the form of discounted cash flow analysis, which is based
on Sogous projected cash flow using managements best estimate as of the valuation date. The Company also used the market approach as a check to corroborate the overall value for Sogou from the income approach by comparing the trading
multiples of publicly-traded comparable companies to the implied multiples of the Company based on the income approach.

The Sogou share-based
compensation cost is measured at the fair value of the award as calculated under the Binomial option  pricing model (the BP Model). A calculation using the BP Model typically incorporates a large number of very short time periods
to reflect a realistic range of possible prices that a share could achieve over the options contractual term, which could result in several hundred total nodes. In addition, various probabilities could be assigned to each node to reflect the
impact that a node is expected to have in conjunction with exercise and post-vesting assumptions. Assumptions used in the BP Model are presented below:



|                                        |  |

|Exercise multiple                       |  | 2~3        
|Expected forfeiture rate (Post-vesting) |  | 12.5%~22.3%
|Weighted average expected option life   |  | 10         
|Volatility rate                         |  | 55.14%     
|Dividend yield                          |  | 0%         
|Fair value                              |  | 0.32       

The Company estimated the risk free rate based on the yield to maturity of China Sovereign bonds denominated in United
States dollars as of the valuation date. An exercise multiple was estimated as the ratio of fair value of the stock over the exercise price as of the time the option is exercised, based on consideration of research studies regarding exercise
patterns based on historical statistical data. In the Companys valuation analysis, a multiple of two was applied for employees and a multiple of three was applied for management. The Company estimated the forfeiture rate to be 12.5% for Sogou
managements and 22.3% for Sogou employees share options granted as of April 1, 2011. The life of the stock options is the contract life of the option. Based on the option agreement, the contract life of the option is 10 years. The
expected volatility at the valuation date was estimated based on the historical volatility of comparable companies for the period before the grant date with length commensurate with the expected term of the options. Sogou has no history or
expectation of paying dividends on its common shares. Accordingly, the dividend yield is estimated to be 0%.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, total share-based compensation expense recognized for
share options under the Sogou 2010 Share Incentive Plan was both $0.47 million.

As of June 30, 2011, there was $1.0 million of
unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested share options.

Share-based Awards to Sohu management

Under an arrangement approved by the Boards of Directors of Sohu and Sogou in March 2011, Sohu has the right to provide to Sohus management and key
employees the opportunity to purchase from Sohu up to 12,000,000 ordinary shares of Sogou at a fixed exercise price of $0.625 per share. Of these 12,000,000 ordinary shares, 8,800,000 are Sogou ordinary shares previously held by Sohu and 3,200,000
are Sogou ordinary shares that were newly-issued on April 14, 2011 by Sogou to Sohu at a price of $0.625 per share, or a total of $2 million. During the second quarter of 2011, Sogou issued options for the purchase of 8,773,000 Sogou ordinary
shares options to Sohu management and key employees under this arrangement. These share options will become vested and exercisable in four equal installments, with each installment vesting upon Sogous achievement of the performance target for
the corresponding period. The performance target for each installment will be set at the beginning of each period, therefore each installment is considered to be granted at that date. As of June 30, 2011, 2,193,250 share options had been
granted.

A summary of options activity as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is presented below:

The method used to determine the fair value of share options granted to Sohus management was the same as the method
used for the share options granted to Sogous management and key employees as described above, except for the assumptions used in the BP Model.

Assumptions used in the BP Model for Share-based awards to Sohu management are presented below:



|                                        |  |

|Average risk-free interest rate         |  | 4.08%~4.22%  
|Exercise multiple                       |  | 2~3          
|Expected forfeiture rate (Post-vesting) |  | 21.4%~27%    
|Weighted average expected option life   |  | 10           
|Volatility rate                         |  | 54.41%~54.66%
|Dividend yield                          |  | 0%           
|Fair value                              |  | 0.12~0.15    

For both the three and the six months ended June 30, 2011, total share-based compensation expense recognized for
share options under the arrangement was $44,930.

As of June 30, 2011, there was $0.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense
related to the unvested share options.



|12. | Mezzanine Equity
|--- | ----------------

On May 11, 2011, Changyou acquired 68.258% of the equity interests of 7Road. As Changyous controlling shareholder, the
Company began to consolidate 7Roads financial statements commencing June 1, 2011.



-30-



---

##### Table of Contents

Mezzanine Equity consists of noncontrolling interest in 7Road and a put option pursuant to which the
noncontrolling shareholders will have the right to put their equity interests in 7Road to Changyou at a pre-determined price if 7Road achieves specified performance milestones in the coming three years and certain circumstances occur. The put option
will expire in 2014. Since the occurrence of the sale is not solely within the control of Changyou, the Company classifies the noncontrolling interest as mezzanine equity instead of permanent equity in Sohus and Changyous consolidated
financial statements.

In accordance with ASC subtopic 480-10, the Company accretes the balance of noncontrolling interest to its redemption
value over the period from the date of the 7Road acquisition to the earliest redemption date of the noncontrolling interest. Any subsequent changes in the redemption value are considered to be changes in accounting estimates and will be amortized
over the same period.

As of June 30, 2011, the estimated redemption value of the mezzanine equity was approximately $67.2 million based
on the estimation of 7Road's financial performance. For the month ended June 30, 2011, the accretion was $361,000, and was recorded as net income attributable to the mezzanine classified noncontrolling interest shareholders in the statements of
operations.



|13. | Noncontrolling Interest
|--- | -----------------------

The primary majority-owned subsidiaries and VIEs of the Company which are consolidated in its consolidated financial statements but
with noncontrolling interest recognized are Changyou and Sogou.

Noncontrolling Interest for Changyou

As Sohu is Changyous controlling shareholder, Changyous financial results have been consolidated with those of Sohu for all periods presented.
To reflect the economic interest in Changyou held by shareholders other than Sohu (noncontrolling shareholders), Changyous net income attributable to these noncontrolling shareholders is recorded as noncontrolling interest in
Sohus consolidated statements of operations, based on their share of the economic interest in Changyou. Changyous cumulative results of operations attributable to these noncontrolling shareholders, along with changes in
shareholders equity and adjustment for share-based compensation expense in relation to those share-based awards which are unvested and vested but not yet settled, are recorded as noncontrolling interest in Sohus consolidated balance
sheets. See Note 2 - Changyou Transactions - Sohus Shareholding in Changyou.

Noncontrolling Interest for Sogou

As Sohu is Sogous controlling shareholder, Sogous financial results have been consolidated with those of Sohu for all
periods presented. To reflect the economic interest in Sogou held by shareholders other than Sohu (noncontrolling shareholders), Sogous net income/loss attributable to these noncontrolling shareholders is recorded as noncontrolling
interest in Sohus consolidated statements of operations. Sogous cumulative results of operations attributable to these noncontrolling shareholders, along with changes in shareholders equity and adjustment for share-based
compensation expense in relation to those share-based awards which are unvested and vested but not yet settled and noncontrolling shareholders original investments in Series A Preferred shares are accounted for as a noncontrolling interest
classified as permanent equity in Sohus consolidated balance sheets, as redemption of the noncontrolling interest is solely within the control of Sohu. These treatments are based on the terms governing investment by the noncontrolling
shareholders in the Series A Preferred Shares of Sogou (the Sogou Series A Terms) and the terms of Sogous restructuring. See Note 3 - Sogou Transaction.

By virtue of the Sogou Series A Terms and the terms of the restructuring, as Sogou loses money after its restructuring, the net losses will be allocated in the following order: (i) net losses will be
allocated to Sohu until its basis in Sogou decreases to zero; (ii) additional net losses will be allocated to Alibaba, China Web and Photon until their investment in Sogou decreases to zero; and (iii) further net losses will be allocated
between Sohu and noncontrolling shareholders based on their shareholding percentage in Sogou. Any subsequent net income from Sogou will be allocated in the following order: (i) net income will be allocated between Sohu and noncontrolling
shareholders based on their shareholding percentage in Sogou until their basis in Sogou increases to zero; (ii) additional net income will be allocated to Alibaba, China Web and Photon to bring their basis back; (iii) further net income
will be allocated to Sohu to bring its basis back; and (iv) further net income will be allocated between Sohu and noncontrolling shareholders based on their shareholding percentage in Sogou.

Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated Statements of Operations

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of operations was $17.0 million and $27.3 million,
respectively, compared with $12.0 million and $23.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Noncontrolling Interest of Changyou

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $175.7 million and $130.3 million, respectively, noncontrolling interest was recognized in Sohus consolidated balance sheets, representing a 31%
and a 29%, respectively, economic interest in Changyous net assets and reflected the reclassification of Changyous share-based compensation expense from shareholders additional paid-in capital to noncontrolling interest.

Noncontrolling Interest of Sogou

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $41.2 million and $47.2 million, respectively, noncontrolling interest was recognized in Sohus consolidated balance sheets, representing
Sogous cumulative results of operations attributable to shareholders other than Sohu, Sogous share-based compensation expenses, along with these shareholders original investments in the Series A Preferred Shares issued by Sogou.



|14. | Net Income per Share
|--- | --------------------

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net
income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares comprise shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of share-based
awards using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of share-based awards with performance requirements is not considered before the performance targets are actually met. The computation of diluted net income per share does not assume
conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., an increase in earnings per share amounts or a decrease in loss per share amounts) on net income per share. Additionally, for purposes of
calculating the numerator of diluted net income per share, the net income attributable to Sohu is adjusted for two factors as following:



|(1) | Difference between Changyous net income attributable to Sohu determined by:
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | i) | the percentage of the total economic interest in Changyou held by Sohu, which was approximately 69% for the second quarter of 2011, and

exercise or settlement of share-based awards
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

under the treasury stock method, which was
approximately 66% for the second quarter of 2011.

In the calculation of Sohus diluted net income per share, the percentage of 66% was
calculated by treating all of Changyous existing unvested restricted shares, unvested restricted share units, and vested restricted share units that have not yet been settled are treated as vested and settled by Changyou under the treasury
stock method, causing the percentage of weighted average number of shares held by Sohu in Changyou to decrease from 69% to 66%. As a result, Changyous net income attributable to Sohu on a diluted basis decreased accordingly. This impact is
presented as incremental dilution from Changyou in the table below.

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



| | i) | the Sogou Series A Terms and the terms of Sogous restructuring, and

| | ii) | the percentage of the weighted average number of Sogou shares held by Sohu to the weighted average number of Sogou ordinary shares, shares issuable upon the conversion
of convertible preferred shares under the if-converted method, and shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of share-based awards under the treasury stock method, which was approximately 64% for the second quarter of 2011.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the calculation of Sohus diluted net income per share, assuming a dilutive effect, the percentage of 64% was
calculated by treating the convertible preferred shares issued by Sogou as having been converted at the beginning of the period. The dilutive effect of share-based awards with a performance requirement was not considered because the performance
targets were not met. The above difference is presented as incremental dilution from Sogou in the table below.

|15. | Subsequent Events
|--- | -----------------

The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued, with no other
material event or transaction needing recognition or disclosure found.



|16. | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
|--- | -----------------------------------------

In April 2011, FASB issued revised guidance on the Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreement. The
revised guidance specifies the criterion pertaining to an exchange of collateral should not be a determining factor in assessing effective control, which should focus on a transferors contractual rights and obligations with respect to
transferred financial assets if an entity enters into agreements to transfer financial assets that both entitle and obligate the transferor to repurchase or redeem the financial assets before their maturity. The revised guidance removes from the
assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the
collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The revised guidance is effective prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the first interim or annual period beginning
on or after December 15, 2011. The Company has not early adopted the new guidance and is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

In May 2011, FASB issued revised guidance on the Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and
IFRSs. The revised guidance specifies how to measure fair value and improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, not requiring additional
fair value measurements and not intending to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The revised guidance is effective to all reporting entities that are required or permitted to measure or
disclose the fair value of an asset, a liability, or an instrument classified in a reporting entitys shareholders equity in the financial statements during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company
has not early adopted the new guidance and is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued revised guidance on the Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The revised guidance requires an entity to
present reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income and eliminates one presentation option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of
changes in stockholders equity. The revised guidance states that an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single
continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In a single continuous statement, the entity is required to present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive
income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with the total of comprehensive income in that statement. In the two-statement approach, an entity is required to present components of net income and total net income in the statement of net
income. The statement of other comprehensive income should immediately follow the statement of net income and include the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with a total for comprehensive
income. The revised guidance should be applied retrospectively and effective for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has not early adopted the new guidance and is currently evaluating the impact on its
consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

##### Table of Contents

Starting from 2003, our online game business has developed from nascency to become one of the top massively
multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG) operators in China. Its success was further endorsed by the carve-out and initial public offering of our MMORPG subsidiary Changyou (NASDAQ: CYOU) in April 2009. The successful initial
public offering has provided Changyou with the platform and resources to become a leading company in the MMORPG industry, and has enabled Changyou to compete head to head with first tier game companies. As Changyous controlling shareholder,
Sohu continues to consolidate Changyou but recognizes noncontrolling interest reflecting shares held by shareholders other than Sohu. During the second quarter of 2011, treating all existing restricted shares as vested and restricted share units as
vested and settled, Sohu owned approximately 66% of the economic interest in Changyou, with the remaining 34% of the economic interest in Changyou owned by Changyous shareholders other than Sohu.

Online Game Business

Our online game business is conducted via Sohus
majority-owned subsidiary Changyou.

Changyou is a leading MMORPG developer and operator in China as measured by the popularity of one of our
games, Tian Long Ba Bu (TLBB). TLBB, which was launched in May 2007, received an award as one of the Most Liked Online Games by Game Players at the China Digital Entertainment Expo and Conference, or China Joy, for three
consecutive years from 2008 to 2010 and was ranked as one of the worlds five most profitable online games in 2009 by Forbes magazine. Changyou engages in the development, operation and licensing of our MMORPGs, which are interactive online
games that may be played simultaneously by hundreds of thousands of game players. As of June 30, 2011, Changyou was operating eight MMORPGs, including the in-house developed TLBB, and the licensed Blade Online (BO), Blade Hero 2
(BH2), Da Hua Shui Hu (DHSH), Zhong Hua Ying Xiong (ZHYX), Immortal Faith (IF), San Jie Qi Yuan (SJQY) and Legend of Ancient World (LAW). As of June 30, 2011,
Changyous MMORPG games in China had approximately 131.9 million aggregate registered accounts. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, Changyous MMORPG games in China had approximately 1.0 million aggregate peak
concurrent users, 2.9 million aggregate active paying accounts and average revenue per active paying account of RMB211.

Changyou has
several MMORPGs in the pipeline with different graphic styles, themes and features to appeal to different segments of the online game player community.

Changyou operates its current MMORPGs under the item-based revenue model, meaning that game players can play the games for free, but may choose to pay for virtual items to enhance the game-playing
experience. Game players purchase prepaid game cards or game points, which are used to purchase virtual items. Changyou sells prepaid game cards to regional distributors throughout China, who in turn sub-distribute the prepaid game cards to numerous
retail outlets, including Internet cafés and various Websites, newsstands, software stores, book stores and retail stores. Changyou also directly sells game points to its game players through its online sales platform.

On May 11, 2011, Changyou acquired 68.258% of the equity interests of 7Road and began to consolidate 7Roads financial statements commencing
June 1, 2011. 7Road is primarily engaged in Web-based game development. Changyou generated Web-based game revenues for the first time as a result of the 7Road acquisition. For the month ended June 30, 2011, 7Roads Web-based games had
approximately 18.6 million aggregate active accounts. For the month ended June 30, 2011, 7Road generated Web-based game revenue of $3.3 million, and had approximately 662,000 active charging accounts and average revenue recognized per
active charging accounts of RMB32.

7Roads Web-based game is designed to be operated under the item-based revenue model. 7Road has
licensed the game to third party operators who offer the game to users in China and other countries on their Websites or terminals.

Agreements between Sohu and Changyou

Changyou has entered into agreements with Sohu with respect to various interim and ongoing relationships between us, including a Master Transaction Agreement, a Non-Competition Agreement, and an Amended
and Restated Marketing Services Agreement. These agreements contain provisions, among others, relating to the transfer of assets and assumption of liabilities of the MMORPG business, provide cross-indemnification of liabilities arising from each
others business, mutually limit Sohu and Changyou from competing in each others business, and also include a number of ongoing commercial relationships.

Sogou Search and Start-up Page Business

Our Sogou search and start-up page business
is conducted through Sohus online search subsidiary Sogou Inc. (Sogou) via Sogou.com, an interactive proprietary search engine. Sogou search and start-up page services provide customers, especially small and medium-sized
enterprises, with pay-for-click services, priority placements in our search directory, and online marketing services on the Sogou start-up page, the default homepage of Sogou browser.

During 2010, we restructured our Sogou search business in preparation for the sale of Sogous newly-issued Series A Preferred Shares to Alibaba Investment Limited (Alibaba), a private
investment subsidiary of Alibaba Group Holding Limited, China Web Search (HK) Limited (China Web), an investment vehicle of Yunfeng Fund, LP, and Photon Group Limited (Photon), the investment fund of Sohus Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer Dr. Charles Zhang. In the restructuring, we transferred to Sogou certain assets and liabilities associated with the mobile version of Sogou Pinyin, and transferred to Sohu certain non-search assets and liabilities that
had been held by Sogou. Sogou will remain liable for a loan payable to Sohu in the amount of $45 million, which will be payable solely from the proceeds of an initial public offering by Sogou. The loan amount consists primarily of losses
historically incurred in our search business and previously funded by Sohu.

On October 22, 2010, Sogou completed the sale of
newly-issued Series A Preferred Shares to Alibaba, China Web and Photon for $15 million, $9 million, and $24 million, respectively, that represent approximately 10%, 6% and 16%, respectively, of the outstanding share capital of Sogou on a
fully-diluted basis. Sohu and Sogou have established a share incentive program for Sogou management and key employees as well as certain members of Sohus management and key employees. Sohu will retain approximately 53% of Sogou on a
fully-diluted basis, and intends in any event to retain a majority of the outstanding share capital of Sogou on a fully-diluted basis. As Sogous controlling shareholder, Sohu will continue to consolidate Sogou but will recognize noncontrolling
interest reflecting shares held by shareholders other than Sohu.

With its new capital structure in place, Sogou is a separate operating
entity focused exclusively on its desktop products and online search businesses, which we believe are picking up momentum. The shareholder group includes not only Alibaba and Sohu, but also Sogous management team. We believe that this
transformation has also helped to further attract talent as well as to build confidence among our business partners, and most importantly our distributors. We believe that our collaboration with Alibaba is progressing well.

Wireless Business

Our wireless
business offers value-added services (such as news, weather forecasts, chatting, entertainment information, mobile games and mobile phone ringtone and logo downloads) to mobile phone users.

Others Business

Our others business includes offering cinema advertisement slots to
be shown in theaters before the screening of movies, which is a new business of Sohu Group from Changyous acquisition of Shanghai Jingmao and its affiliate; sales of software; sub-licensing of premium licensed content to third parties;
provision of applications service provider (ASP) services; and Website construction and maintenance.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING
POLICIES AND MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations relates to our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the basis of consolidation, the revenue recognition, the share-based compensation expense recognition, income taxes and uncertain tax positions,
recognition of mezzanine equity, recognition of noncontrolling interest, computation of net income per share, determination of fair value of financial instruments, determination of short-term investments, determination of net accounts receivable,
determination of fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired through business combination, accounting for investment in debt securities, assessment of impairment for long-lived assets and goodwill, and determination of functional
currencies represent critical accounting policies that reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The recognition of
revenues involves certain management judgments. The amount and timing of our revenues could be materially different for any period if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. For a barter transaction involving advertising
services, we recognize revenue and expense at fair value only if the fair value of the advertising services surrendered/received in the transaction is determinable. No revenue from advertising-for-advertising barter transaction is recognized since
the fair value cannot be reliably determined.

Online Brand Advertising Revenues

Online brand advertising revenues are recognized after deducting agent rebates and applicable business tax and related surcharges.

For online brand advertising revenues, a contract is signed to establish the fixed price and advertising services to be provided. Based on the contracts,
we provide advertisement placements on our different Website channels and/or in different formats, including but not limited to banners, links, logos, buttons, rich media and content integration.

For online brand advertising revenue recognition, prior to entering into contracts, we make a credit assessment of the customer to assess the
collectability of the contract. For those contracts for which the collectability was assessed as reasonably assured, we recognize revenue ratably over the period during which the advertising services were provided and when all revenue recognition
criteria were met. For those contracts for which the collectability was assessed as not reasonably assured, we recognize revenue only when the cash was received and all other revenue recognition criteria were met.

Before 2011, we treated all elements of advertising contracts as a single unit of accounting for revenue recognition purpose. In accordance with ASU
No.2009 -13 Revenue Recognition - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (ASU No.2009 -13), on January 1, 2011, we began to treat advertising contracts with multiple deliverable elements as separate units of accounting for
revenue recognition purposes and to recognize revenue on a periodic basis during the contract when each deliverable service is provided. Since the contract price is for all deliverables, we allocate the arrangement consideration to all deliverables
at the inception of the arrangement on the basis of their relative selling price according to the selling price hierarchy established by ASU No.2009 -13. We use (a) vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price, if it exists,
otherwise, (b) third -party evidence of selling price. If neither (a) nor (b) exists, we will use (c) the managements best estimate of the selling price for that deliverable.

Sponsorship services, which is a type of online brand advertising services, is similar to other online brand advertising services, but generally involves
larger amounts and longer contract periods. Sponsorship services may allow advertisers to sponsor a particular area on our Websites, and may include brand affiliation services and/or a larger volume of services, and may require some exclusivity or
premier placements. Sponsorship services advertisement revenues are normally recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period, provided our obligations under the contract have been met and all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Online Game Revenues

We generate online game revenues from operating and licensing MMORPGs and Web-based games in China and overseas.

We earn revenues from our current MMORPG operations by providing online services to game players pursuant to the item-based revenue model. Under the
item-based revenue model, game players play games free of charge and are charged for purchases of virtual items.

Under the item-based revenue
model, proceeds received from sales of prepaid cards are initially recorded as receipts in advance. Proceeds from sale of prepaid cards to distributors are deferred when received and, revenue is recognized over the estimated lives of the virtual
items purchased or as the virtual items are consumed. The revenues are recorded net of business tax and related surcharges, sales discounts and rebates to our distributors.

Under the item-based revenue model, game players can access our games free of charge, but may purchase consumable virtual items, including those with a predetermined expiration time, such as three months,
or perpetual items, such as certain costumes that stay bound to a game player for the life of the game. Revenues in relation to consumable virtual items are recognized as they are consumed, as our services in connection with these items have been
fully rendered to our game players as of that time. Revenues in relation to perpetual virtual items are recognized over their estimated lives. We will provide continual online game services in connection with these perpetual virtual items until they
are no longer used by our game players. We have considered the average period that game players typically play our games and other game player behavior patterns to arrive at our best estimates for the lives of these perpetual virtual items. We have
also considered that the estimated lives of perpetual virtual items may be affected by various factors, including the acceptance and popularity of expansion packs, promotional events launched and market conditions. However, given the relatively
short operating history of our games, and of our most popular game TLBB in particular, our estimate of the period that game players typically play our games may not accurately reflect the estimated lives of the perpetual virtual items. We have
adopted a policy of assessing the estimated lives of perpetual virtual items on a quarterly basis. All paying users data collected since the launch of the games are used to perform the relevant assessments. Historical behavior patterns of
these paying users during the period between their first log-on date and last log-on date are used to estimate the lives of perpetual virtual items. While we believe our estimates to be reasonable based on available game player information, we may
revise such estimates in the future as our games operation periods become longer and we continue to gain more operating history and data. Any adjustments arising from changes in the estimates of the lives of perpetual virtual items would be
applied prospectively on the basis that such changes are caused by new information indicating a change in the game player behavior patterns. Any changes in our estimate of lives of perpetual virtual items may result in our revenues being recognized
on a basis different from prior periods and may cause our operating results to fluctuate.

##### Table of Contents

We also derive revenues from licensing our MMORPGs in other countries and territories. The licensing
agreements provided for two revenue streams, an initial license fee and a monthly revenue-based royalty based on monthly revenues from the games. The initial license fee consists of both a fixed amount and additional amounts receivable upon
achieving certain sales targets. Since we are required to provide when-and-if-available upgrades to the licensees during the license period, both the fixed portion and the additional portion of the initial license fee are recognized ratably as
revenue over the license period. The fixed portion of the initial license fee is recognized ratably over the remaining license period from the date the game is launched, and the additional portion of the initial license fee is recognized ratably
over the remaining license period from the date such additional amount is certain. The monthly usage-based royalty fee is recognized when earned, provided that collectability is reasonably assured.

We first generated Web-based game revenues after Changyou acquired 68.258% of the equity interests of 7Road. 7Roads Web-based game is designed to
be operated under the item-based revenue model. 7Road has licensed the game to third party operators who offer the game to users in China and other countries on their Websites or terminals. The licensing agreements provided for two revenue streams,
an initial fixed license fee and a monthly revenue-based royalty. Since 7Road is required to provide when-and-if-available upgrades to the licensees during the license period, the initial license fee is recognized ratably as revenue over the license
period. Since the third party operator is the party that signs the user agreement with its users and is responsible for its users experience on its Websites or terminals, 7Road is not the primary obligor, and the net revenue-based royalty paid
by the third party operator is recorded as revenue. If the license agreement with the operator requires 7Road to set-up and to maintain the servers to host the Web-based games for the users, 7Road is obliged to provide on-going services to users and
we recognize revenue when the virtual items are consumed. Otherwise, we recognize revenue when 7Road is entitled to the revenue-based royalty and collectability is reasonably assured.

Sogou Search and Start-up Page Revenues

Sogou search and start-up page services
mainly include pay-for-click services, priority placement services, and online marketing services on the Sogou start-up page. Pay-for-click services mainly consist of displaying the text-based links of our advertisers on our Websites and our Website
Alliance network. The priority placement services are placed in our search directory and are normally provided for a fixed fee over the service period of the contracts. Online marketing services mainly consist of displaying the links to our
advertisers Websites on the Sogou start-up page. Sogou search and start-up page contracts are normally for relatively small amounts and are signed with small and medium-sized enterprises.

Revenue for pay-for-click services is recognized on a per click basis when the users click on the displayed links. Revenue for priority placement
services is normally recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period, provided our obligations under the contract have been met and all revenue recognition criteria have been met. The priority of the display of text-based links is based
on the bidding price of different advertisers. Revenue for online marketing services on the Sogou start-up page is normally recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period, provided our obligations under the contract have been met and
all revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Wireless Revenues

Wireless revenues are derived from a wide range of wireless products focused on entertainment, information and communications, such as short messaging services (SMS), Ring Back Tone
(RBT), Wireless Application Protocol (WAP), multi-media messaging services (MMS), interactive voice response (IVR) and mobile games. We mainly offer news, weather forecasts, chatting, entertainment
information, mobile games, mobile phone ring tones and logo downloads and various other mobile related services to mobile phone users through contracts signed with third party mobile network operators.

##### Table of Contents

We contract with China Mobile and its subsidiaries and China Unicom and its subsidiaries (China mobile
network operators) for billing, collection and transmission services offered to their users. We also contract with other service providers to obtain content and to distribute our wireless products. In addition, we purchase certain content from
third-party content providers. In most of these arrangements, the fees payable to the third-party service and content providers are calculated based on certain percentages of the revenue earned after deducting the fees paid to China mobile network
operators.

Wireless service fees are charged on a monthly or per message/download basis. Due to technical issues with the operators
network, we might be unable to collect certain wireless service fees from an operator in certain circumstances. This un-collectability is referred to as the failure rate, which can vary from operator to operator. Wireless revenues are
recognized in the month in which the service is performed, provided that no significant obligations remain. To recognize wireless revenue, we rely on China mobile network operators to provide us billing confirmations for the actual amount of
services they have billed to their mobile customers. At the end of each reporting period, when an operator has not provided us the monthly billing confirmations, we use the information generated from our internal system as well as historical data to
estimate the failure rate, to estimate the amount of collectable wireless service fees and to recognize revenue. When we later receive the actual billing confirmation, we then record a true-up accounting adjustment. Although we believe we have the
ability to make reasonable estimates, the differences between the actual facts and our estimates may result in significant fluctuations in the amount and timing of the revenue recognized. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, 57% of our
estimated wireless revenues were confirmed by the monthly billing confirmations received from China mobile network operators. Generally, (i) within 15 to 120 days after the end of each month, we receive billing confirmations from each of the
operators confirming the amount of wireless service charges billed to that operators mobile phone users and (ii) within 30 to 180 days after delivering billing confirmations, each operator remits the wireless service fees, net of its
service fees, for the month to us.

Our management must determine whether to record our wireless revenues using the gross or net method of
reporting. Determining whether revenue should be reported gross or net is based on an assessment of various factors, the primary factors being whether we are acting as the principal in offering services to the customer or whether we are acting as an
agent in the transaction and the specific requirements of each contract. Currently, a majority of our wireless revenues are recorded on a gross basis, as we have the primary responsibility for fulfillment and acceptability of the wireless services.
To the extent we are acting as a principal in a transaction, we report as revenue payments received on a gross basis, and report as costs of revenue amounts attributable to services provided by China mobile network operators and other vendors. To
the extent we are acting as an agent in a transaction, we report on a net basis as revenue payments received. Whether we are serving as principal or agent in a transaction is judgmental in nature and is determined by evaluating the terms of the
arrangement.

Others Revenues

Other revenues are primarily generated from cinema advertisements, sub-licensing of premium licensed content, sales of software to third parties, provision of ASP services, and Website construction and
maintenance.

For cinema advertising revenues, a contract is signed to establish the fixed price and advertising services to be provided.
Based on the contracts, we provide advertisement placement on advertising slots to be shown in theatres before the screening of movies. The rights to place advertisements in such advertising slots were granted under contracts with different theatres
and film production companies.

Revenue from the cinema advertising is recognized when all the recognition criteria are met. Depending on the
terms of a customer contract, fees for services performed can be recognized according to two principal methods: proportional performance or straight line.



|(1) | Fees are generally recognized as earned based on the proportional performance method of revenue recognition in situations where our fee is earned on a per advertising
slot placement basis or where our fee is reconcilable to the number of advertising slots to be shown as detailed in the customer contracts.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(2) | Fees are recognized on a straight line basis over the contract period when the advertising service is provided essentially on a pro-rata basis during the contract
period.

Share-based Compensation Expense

Sohu, Changyou and Sogou all have incentive plans for the granting of share-based awards, including common stock/ ordinary shares, share options, restricted shares and restricted share units, to their
employees and directors. Share-based compensation expense is recognized as costs and/or expenses in the consolidated financial statements based on the fair value of the related share-based awards on their grant dates.



-40-



---

##### Table of Contents

For Sohus share-based awards, in determining the fair value of share options granted, the
Black-Scholes valuation model is applied; in determining the fair value of restricted share units granted, the public market price of the underlying shares on the grant dates is applied.

For Changyous share-based awards, in determining the fair value of ordinary shares, restricted shares and restricted share units granted in 2008, the income approach/discounted cash flow method with
a discount for lack of marketability was applied, given that the shares underlying the awards were not publicly traded at the time of grant. In determining the fair value of restricted share units granted in 2009 before Changyous initial
public offering, the fair value of the underlying shares was determined based on Changyous offering price for its initial public offering. In determining the fair value of restricted share units granted after Changyous initial public
offering, the public market price of the underlying shares on the grant dates is applied.

For Sogous share-based awards, in determining
the fair value of share options granted, the income approach/discounted cash flow method with a discount for lack of marketability was applied, given that the shares underlying the awards were not publicly traded at the time of grant.

Share-based compensation expense for the ordinary shares granted is fully recognized in the quarter during which these ordinary shares are granted. For
share options, restricted shares and restricted share units granted under Sohus and Changyous share-based awards, compensation expense is recognized on an accelerated basis over the requisite service period. For share options granted
under Sogous share-based awards, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period during which the performance target will be met. The number of share-based awards for which the service is not expected to
be rendered over the requisite period is estimated, and the related compensation expense is not recorded for that number of awards.

The
assumptions used in share-based compensation expense recognition represent managements best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. If factors change or different assumptions
are used, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different for any period. Moreover, the estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value that ultimately will be realized by employees who
receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by us for accounting purposes.

Income Taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach which requires the recognition of income taxes payable or refundable for the current
year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial
reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, if based on available evidence, it is considered that it is more likely than
not that some portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such determination, we consider factors including (i) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, (ii) future profitability, and
(iii) tax planning strategies.

Our deferred tax assets are related to net operating losses of Sohu that would be subject to corporate
income tax in the United States (U.S. Corporate Income Tax), and net operating losses and temporary differences between accounting and tax basis for our China-based subsidiaries and VIEs that are subject to corporate income tax
in the PRC under the CIT law (PRC Corporate Income Tax). Substantially all of our income is earned through China-based subsidiaries and VIEs. In the foreseeable future we do not intend to repatriate income to the United States
(U.S.) where it would be subject to U.S. Corporate Income Tax, except that, under certain circumstances, we may repatriate to the U.S. income that will be subject to the U.S. Alternative Minimum Tax. In the foreseeable future, it is more
likely than not that the deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating losses of Sohu will not be realized. Hence, we recorded a valuation allowance against our gross deferred tax assets in order to reduce the deferred tax assets to the
amount that is more likely than not to be realized. If events were to occur in the future that would allow us to realize more of our deferred tax assets than the presently recorded net amount, an adjustment would be made to the deferred tax assets
that would increase income for the period when those events occurred. If events were to occur in the future that would require us to realize less of our deferred tax assets than the presently recorded net amount, an adjustment would be made to the
valuation allowance against deferred tax assets that would decrease income for the period when those events occurred.

Significant management
judgment is required in determining income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities.

##### Table of Contents

Uncertain Tax Positions

In order to assess uncertain tax positions, we apply a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. For the two-step approach,
the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution of related appeals or litigation
processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement.

Mezzanine Equity

Mezzanine equity consists of noncontrolling interest in 7Road and a put
option pursuant to which the noncontrolling shareholders will have the right to put their equity interests in 7Road to Changyou at a pre-determined price if 7Road achieves specified performance milestones in the coming three years and certain
circumstances occur. The put option will expire in 2014.

In accordance with ASC subtopic 480-10, we accrete the balance of noncontrolling
interest to its redemption value over the period from the date of the 7Road acquisition to the earliest redemption date of the noncontrolling interest. Any subsequent changes in the redemption value are considered to be changes in accounting
estimates and will be amortized over the same period.

Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling interest is the portion of economic interest in Sohus majority-owned subsidiaries and VIEs which is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to Sohu. Currently, the noncontrolling
interest in our consolidated financial statements mainly consists of noncontrolling interest for Changyou and Sogou.

Noncontrolling
Interest for Changyou

To reflect the economic interest in Changyou held by shareholders other than Sohu (noncontrolling
shareholders), Changyous net income attributable to these noncontrolling shareholders is recorded as noncontrolling interest in Sohus consolidated statements of operations, based on their share of the economic interests in
Changyou. Changyous cumulative results of operations attributable to these noncontrolling shareholders, along with changes in shareholders equity and adjustment for share-based compensation expense in relation to those share-based awards
which are unvested and vested but not yet settled, are recorded as noncontrolling interest in Sohus consolidated balance sheets.

Noncontrolling Interest for Sogou

To reflect the economic interest in Sogou held by shareholders other than Sohu (noncontrolling shareholders), Sogous net income/loss
attributable to these noncontrolling shareholders is recorded as noncontrolling interest in Sohus consolidated statements of operations. Sogous cumulative results of operations attributable to these noncontrolling shareholders, along
with changes in shareholders equity and adjustment for share-based compensation expense in relation to those share-based awards which are unvested and vested but not yet settled and noncontrolling shareholders original investments in
Series A Preferred shares are accounted for as a noncontrolling interest classified as permanent equity in Sohus consolidated balance sheets, as redemption of the noncontrolling interest is solely within the control of Sohu. These treatments
are based on the terms governing investment by the noncontrolling shareholders in the Series A Preferred Shares of Sogou (the Sogou Series A Terms) and the terms of Sogous restructuring.

By virtue of the Sogou Series A Terms and the terms of the restructuring, as Sogou loses money after its restructuring, the net losses will be allocated
in the following order: (i) net losses will be allocated to Sohu until its basis in Sogou decreases to zero; (ii) additional net losses will be allocated to Alibaba, China Web and Photon until their investment in Sogou decreases to zero;
and (iii) further net losses will be allocated between Sohu and noncontrolling shareholders based on their shareholding percentage in Sogou. Any subsequent net income from Sogou will be allocated in the following order: (i) net income will
be allocated between Sohu and noncontrolling shareholders based on their shareholding percentage in Sogou until their basis in Sogou increases to zero; (ii) additional net income will be allocated to Alibaba, China Web and Photon to bring their
basis back; (iii) further net income will be allocated to Sohu to bring its basis back; and (iv) further net income will be allocated between Sohu and noncontrolling shareholders based on their shareholding percentage in Sogou.

Net Income per Share

Basic net income
per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding
during the period. Potential common shares comprise shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of share-based awards using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of share-based awards with performance requirements is not considered
before the performance targets are actually met. The computation of diluted net income per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., an increase in earnings per
share amounts or a decrease in loss per share amounts) on net income per share. Additionally, for purposes of calculating the numerator of diluted net income per share, the net income attributable to Sohu is adjusted for two factors as following:

##### Table of Contents

|(1) | Difference between Changyous net income attributable to Sohu determined by:
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

i) the percentage of the total economic interest in Changyou held by Sohu, and

ii) the percentage of the weighted average number of Changyou shares held by Sohu to the weighted average number of Changyou ordinary
shares and shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of share-based awards under the treasury stock method.



|(2) | Difference between Sogous net income/loss attributable to Sohu determined by:
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i) the Sogou Series A Terms and the terms of Sogous restructuring, and

ii) the percentage of the weighted average number of Sogou shares held by Sohu to the weighted average number of Sogou ordinary shares,
shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible preferred shares under the if-converted method, and shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of share-based awards under the treasury stock method.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our
financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, investment in debt securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying amount of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities approximates their fair value. Other financial instruments are measured at their respective fair values. For fair value measurement, U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation
methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 - observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or
liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the market place.

Level 3 - unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Short-term Investments

For investments
in financial instruments with a variable interest rate indexed to performance of underlying assets, we elected the fair value option at the date of initial recognition and carried these investments at fair value. Changes in the fair value are
reflected in the consolidated statements of income as other income.

Accounts Receivable, Net

The carrying value of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects our best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. We make
estimations of the collectability of accounts receivable. In estimating the general allowance, many factors are considered, including but not limited to reviewing delinquent accounts receivable, performing aging analysis and customer credit
analysis, and analyzing historical bad debt records and current economic trends. Additional allowance for specific doubtful accounts might be made if the financial conditions of our customers or mobile network operators deteriorate or China mobile
network operators are unable to collect fees from their end customers, resulting in their inability to make payments due to us.

Investment
in Debt Securities

We invest our excess cash in certain debt securities of high-quality corporate issuers. We elected the fair value
option to account for our investments in debt securities at their initial recognition, and recorded changes in fair value in other income/expenses. The fair value election was made to mitigate accounting mismatches and to achieve operational
simplifications.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets include fixed assets, intangible assets and prepaid non-current assets.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets mainly comprise computer equipment and hardware, office building, leasehold improvements, vehicles and office furniture. Fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation with
no residual value. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Intangible
Assets

Intangible assets primarily comprise content and license, purchased copyrights, domain names, trademarks, marketing rights,
operating rights of licensed games, computer software purchased from unrelated third parties and developed technologies. Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization with no residual value. Amortization of intangible assets
is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

Prepaid non-current Assets

Prepaid non-current assets primarily include prepayments for the office buildings to be built as Sohus and Changyous headquarters before they
were recognized as fixed assets.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The carrying values of long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Based on the existence
of one or more indicators of impairment, we measure any impairment of long-lived assets using the projected discounted cash flow method. The estimation of future cash flows requires significant management judgment based on our historical results and
anticipated results and is subject to many factors. The discount rate that is commensurate with the risk inherent in our business model is determined by our management. An impairment charge would be recorded if we determined that the carrying value
of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying values of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
identifiable assets and liabilities acquired as a result of our acquisitions of interests in our subsidiaries and VIEs. Goodwill is not depreciated or amortized but is tested for impairment at reporting unit level (business segment) on an annual
basis, and between annual tests when an event occurs or circumstances change that could indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of goodwill with its carrying value. Application of a
goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each
reporting unit. The judgments in estimating the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and making other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially
affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit.

Functional Currency and Foreign Currency Translation

Functional Currency

An
entitys functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, normally that is the currency of the environment in which it primarily generates and expends cash. Managements judgment is essential to
determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements. The functional currency of Sohu.com Inc. is the U.S. dollar. The
functional currency of our subsidiaries and VIEs in the PRC (except for Wuxi Sohu New Momentum, a PRC subsidiary set up in May 2010), the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Korea, and India, respectively, are the RMB, British Pound, Malaysian Ringgit, Korean
Won, and Indian Rupee, respectively. Wuxi Sohu New Momentums functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our subsidiaries in the U.S. and Hong Kong is the U.S. dollar.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of our China-based subsidiaries and VIEs (not including Wuxi Sohu New Momentum), the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Korea and India are
translated into U.S. dollars, our reporting currency, at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheets date and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Foreign currency
translation adjustments are not included in determining net income for the period but are accumulated in a separate component of equity in our consolidated balance sheets.

Foreign currency transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are re-measured at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency re-measurement are included in
the consolidated statements of operations.

Total revenues were $198.7 million and $373.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30,
2011, compared to $146.1 million and $275.6 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2010. The increase in total revenues from the three months ended June 30, 2010 to the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $52.6 million,
and the increase from the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $97.5 million. The increase was mainly attributable to online game revenues and online brand advertising revenues.

Online Brand Advertising Revenues

Online brand advertising revenues were $67.7 million and $124.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to
$53.2 million and $92.7 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2010. The increase in online brand advertising revenues from the three months ended June 30, 2010 to the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $14.5 million,
and the increase from the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $32.2 million. The increase was mainly due to an increase in the number of brand advertising customers and strong advertising demand from
the IT sector, including e-commerce companies.

We expect online brand advertising revenues to increase in the third quarter of 2011, compared
to the second quarter of 2011.

Online Game Revenues

Online game revenues for the second quarter of 2011 include revenues from Changyous game operations, overseas licensing revenues and revenues from 7Road. Online game revenues were $101.5 million and
$196.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $77.7 million and $149.8 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2010. The increase in online game revenues from the three months ended
June 30, 2010 to the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $23.8 million, and the increase from the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $46.7 million. The increase was mainly due to increased
popularity of our flagship game, TLBB.

We expect online game revenues to increase in the third quarter of 2011, compared to the second
quarter of 2011.

Sogou Search and Start-up Page Revenues

Sogou search and start-up page services primarily include pay-for-click services, priority placements in our search directory, and online marketing services on the Sogou start-up page. Revenues from
pay-for-click services accounted for approximately 77% and 79%, respectively, of the total Sogou search and start-up page revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 80% and 78%, respectively, for the corresponding
periods in 2010.

##### Table of Contents

Sogou search and start-up page revenues were $13.6 million and $21.6 million, respectively, for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $3.9 million and $6.7 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2010. The increase in Sogou search and start-up page revenues from the three months ended June 30, 2010 to the
three months ended June 30, 2011 was $9.7 million, and the increase from the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $14.9 million. The increase was mainly due to increased search traffic and improved
monetization of traffic.

We expect Sogou search and start-up page revenues to increase in the third quarter of 2011, compared to the second
quarter of 2011.

Wireless Revenues

Wireless revenues were $11.6 million and $23.3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $11.1 million and $24.4 million, respectively, for the
corresponding periods in 2010.

We expect wireless revenues to be flat in the third quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2011.

Others Revenues

Revenues for other services were $4.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $0.3
million and $2.0 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2010. The increase in other revenues mainly arose from the cinema advertisement business and sub-licensing of premium licensed content.

For Sohus share options, as of June 30, 2011 there was no unrecognized compensation expense because the
requisite service periods for the remaining share options had ended by the end of 2009. For Sohus restricted share units, as of June 30, 2011 there was $13.1 million of related unrecognized compensation expense.

For Changyous share-based awards, as of June 30, 2011, there was $5.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense.

For Sogous share-based awards, as of June 30, 2011, there was $1.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense.

Operating Profit

As a result of
the foregoing, our operating profit was $68.8 million and $132.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $51.2 million and $99.3 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2010.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income was $1.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to other expense of $0.3
million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2010.

Interest Income and Exchange Difference

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, interest income and exchange difference was $1.6 million, comprising interest income of
$3.3 million, offset by exchange loss of $1.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, interest income and exchange difference was $3.9 million, comprising interest income of $6.0 million, offset by exchange loss of $2.1 million. For
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, interest income and exchange difference was $1.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, mainly consisted of interest income.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $10.3 million and $21.3 million,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $6.3 million and $14.3 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2010.

The increase in income tax expense from the three months ended June 30, 2010 to the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $4.0 million. The increase was mainly due to a $2.6 million increase in
income tax expense for online game business.

The increase in income tax expense from the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the six
months ended June 30, 2011 was $7.0 million. The increase was mainly due to a $5.3 million increase in income tax expense for online game business.

Net Income

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we had net income
of $61.6 million and $116.8 million, respectively, compared to $45.5 million and $86.8 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods of 2010.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we had net income of $61.6 million, including $10.2 million from online brand advertising, wireless and others segment, $54.6 million from Changyou segment,
and negative $3.2 million from Sogou segment. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we had net income of $45.5 million, including $9.7 million from online brand advertising, wireless and others segment, $42.1 million from Changyou segment,
and negative $6.3 million from Sogou segment.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we had net income of $116.8 million, including
$19.3 million from online brand advertising, wireless and others segment, $107.5 million from Changyou segment, and negative $10.0 million from Sogou segment. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we had net income of $86.8 million, including
$18.8 million from online brand advertising, wireless and others segment, $81.8 million from Changyou segment, and negative $13.8 million from Sogou segment.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $17.0 million and $27.3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30,
2011, compared to $12.0 million and $23.1 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2010.

The increase in net income
attributable to noncontrolling interest was mainly due to increased net income of Changyou.

We expect the noncontrolling interest recognized
for Changyou to increase in the third quarter of 2011, compared to the second quarter of 2011, due to vesting of share-based awards as described in Note 11 - Sohu.com Inc. Shareholders Equity - Changyou.com Limited Share-based Awards, as well
as the increase in Changyous net income.

We expect the noncontrolling interest recognized for Sogou to remain at a low level in the
third quarter of 2011.

Net Income attributable to Sohu.com Inc.

As a result of the foregoing, we had net income attributable to Sohu of $44.3 million and $89.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $33.5 million and
$63.6 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, investment in debt securities, as well as the cash flows
generated from our operations.

As of June 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and investment in debt
securities of approximately $811.4 million. As of June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $599.1 million. Cash equivalents primarily comprise time deposits.

Sohu entered into an agreement to purchase an office building to be built in Beijing, which will serve as our headquarters, for a purchase price of $124 million. As of June 30, 2011, $80 million had
been paid and was recognized as prepaid non-current assets in our consolidated financial statements. The remaining $44 million payment will be settled in installments as various stages of the development plan are completed. Construction is expected
to be completed by the end of 2012.

Changyou entered into an agreement to purchase an office building to be built in Beijing, which will
serve as its headquarters, for a purchase price of approximately $153 million. As of June 30, 2011, $61 million had been paid and was recognized as prepaid non-current assets in our consolidated financial statements. The remaining $92 million
payment will be settled in installments as various stages of the development plan are completed. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2012.

We believe our current liquidity and capital resources are sufficient to meet anticipated working capital needs (net cash used in operating activities), commitments and capital expenditures over the next
twelve months. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changes in business conditions and other future developments, or changes in general economic conditions.

Cash Generating Ability

We believe we will continue to generate strong cash flow from our
online brand advertising business and online game business, which, along with our available cash, will provide sufficient liquidity and financial flexibility.

Our cash flows were summarized below (in thousands):

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, $156.1 million net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to our net income of
$116.8 million, adjusted by non-cash items of share-based compensation expense of $9.7 million, depreciation and amortization of $26.9 million, cash from working capital items of $4.4 million and other miscellaneous non-cash expense of $1.2 million,
offset by a decrease in cash of $1.8 million from fair value change in debt securities and $1.1 million from excess tax benefits.

For the six
months ended June 30, 2010, $100.5 million net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to our net income of $86.8 million, adjusted by non-cash items of share-based compensation expense of $13.0 million, depreciation
and amortization of $11.1 million and other miscellaneous non-cash expense of $0.4 million, offset by a decrease in cash from working capital items of $9.6 million and $1.2 million from excess tax benefits.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the above excess tax benefits were presented as a reduction in cash flows from operating activities and a cash inflow from
financing activities. Realizing this benefit reduced the amount of taxes payable and does not otherwise affect cash flows.

Net Cash
Used in Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, $131.1 million net cash used in investing activities was
primarily attributable to $61.0 million used in acquiring fixed assets, intangible assets and prepaid non-current assets and $70.1 million used in business acquisitions and investing activities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, $65.6 million net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to a $52.2 million used in
acquiring fixed assets, intangible assets and prepaid non-current assets and $13.4 million used in business acquisition.

Net Cash
Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, $2.7 million net cash provided by financing
activities was primarily attributable to $1.4 million from the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of share options granted under our stock incentive plan, $1.1 million excess tax benefits mentioned in above Net Cash Provided by
Operating Activities, and $0.2 million in proceeds from noncontrolling shareholders.

For the six months ended June 3, 2010,
$1.5 million net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to repayment of a $3.0 million loan by one of Sohus subsidiaries to a third party, offset by a $1.2 million in excess tax benefits mentioned above in Net
Cash Provided by Operating Activities, and $0.3 million from the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of share options granted under our stock incentive plan.

Restrictions on Cash Transfers to Sohu.com Inc.

To fund any cash requirements it may have,
Sohu may need to rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by Sohu.com Limited and Changyou, our wholly-owned subsidiary and majority-owned subsidiary. Since substantially all of our operations are conducted through our indirect
China-based wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries and VIEs, Sohu.com Limited and Changyou may need to rely on dividends, loans or advances made by our PRC subsidiaries.

Substantially all of Changyous operations are conducted through Gamease, Guanyou Gamespace and Shanghai ICE, our VIEs, which generate all of our online game revenues. As these VIEs are not owned by
Changyous subsidiaries, they are not able to make dividend payments to Changyous subsidiaries. Instead, each of AmazGame, Gamespace and ICE WFOE, which are Changyous subsidiaries in China, has entered into a number of contracts
with its corresponding VIEs to provide services to such VIE in return for cash payments. In order for us to receive any dividends, loans or advances from Changyous PRC subsidiaries, or to distribute any dividends to our shareholders and ADS
holders, we will need to rely on these payments made from these VIEs to Changyous PRC subsidiaries. Depending on the nature of services provided by Changyous PRC subsidiaries to their corresponding VIEs, certain of these payments are
subject to PRC taxes, including business taxes and VAT, which effectively reduce the amount that a PRC subsidiary receives from its corresponding VIE. In addition, the PRC government could impose restrictions on such payments or change the tax rates
applicable to such payments.

In addition, regulations in the PRC currently permit payment of dividends of a PRC company only out of
accumulated profits as determined in accordance with accounting standards and regulations in China. Our China-based subsidiaries, which are wholly foreign-owned enterprises (WFOEs), are also required to set aside at least 10% of their
after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to their general reserves until the cumulative amount reaches 50% of their paid-in capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends, or as loans or advances. These WFOEs may
also allocate a portion of their after-tax profits, at the discretion of their Boards of Directors, to their staff welfare and bonus funds. Any amounts so allocated may not be distributed to Changyou and/or to Sohu.com Limited and, accordingly,
would not be available for distribution to Sohu.

Also, under regulations of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, ("SAFE"), the RMB is not
convertible into foreign currencies for capital account items, such as loans, repatriation of investments and investments outside of China, unless prior approval of the SAFE is obtained and prior registration with the SAFE is made.

With respect to PRC tax, certain dividends paid by WFOEs to their immediate Hong Kong holding companies that meet tax authorities requirements
would be subject to a withholding tax at the rate of 5%, which would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to Sohu. Any such dividends paid to Hong Kong holding companies that did not meet the tax authorities requirements would
be subject to a withholding tax at the rate of 10%, which would further reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to Sohu.

With
respect to U.S. tax, as Sohu Group has two listed companies, Sohu.com Inc. and Changyou.com Limited, which are regarded as separate legal entities for U.S. tax purposes, certain transactions between these two companies as well as between their
subsidiaries and VIEs might expose Sohu.com Inc. to 34% U.S. Corporate Income Tax. In addition, certain transactions of Changyou and its subsidiaries and VIEs (for example, investing in U.S. properties) might also expose Sohu.com Inc. to the risk
that these transactions will be treated as taxable for U.S. tax purposes. Moreover, if Changyou pays dividends, Sohu.com Inc., as one of the shareholders of Changyou, might be subject to U.S. tax at 34% for the dividends received or, under certain
circumstances, when Sohu sells Changyou American depositary shares (ADSs) originally held by Sohu at a price higher than its U.S. tax basis, a portion of the proceeds will be subject to U.S. tax at 34%. Furthermore, any dividends or any
deemed dividends received by Sohu.com Inc. would be subject to U.S. Tax at 34%.

We do not expect any of such restrictions or taxes to have a
material impact on our ability to meet our cash obligations.

Dividend Policy

The two listed companies within the Sohu Group, Sohu.com Inc. and Changyou.com Limited, do not expect to pay dividends on their common stock and ordinary shares, respectively, in the foreseeable future.
The Sohu Group currently intends to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of its business, and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on Sohu.com Inc.s common stock or on Changyou.com
Limiteds ordinary shares, including ordinary shares represented by Changyou.com Limiteds ADSs, for the foreseeable future.

Future
cash dividends distributed by Sohu.com Inc. and Changyou.com Limited, if any, will be declared at the discretion of their respective Boards of Directors and will depend upon their future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus,
general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors as their respective Boards of Directors may deem relevant.

Holders of
ADSs of Changyou.com Limited will be entitled to receive dividends, subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, to the same extent as the holders of Changyou.com Limiteds ordinary shares, less the fees and expenses payable under the deposit
agreement. Cash dividends will be paid by the depositary to holders of ADSs in U.S. dollars, subject to the terms of the deposit agreement. Other distributions, if any, will be paid by the depositary to holders of ADSs in any manner that the
depositary deems equitable and practicable.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS AND ARRANGEMENTS

We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of third parties. We have not entered into any
derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders equity, or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets
transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us
or that engages in leasing, hedging or product development services with us.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued revised guidance on the Reconsideration of
Effective Control for Repurchase Agreement. The revised guidance specifies the criterion pertaining to an exchange of collateral should not be a determining factor in assessing effective control, which should focus on a transferors
contractual rights and obligations with respect to transferred financial assets if an entity enters into agreements to transfer financial assets that both entitle and obligate the transferor to repurchase or redeem the financial assets before their
maturity. The revised guidance removes from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of
default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The revised guidance is effective prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after
the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. We have not early adopted the new guidance and are currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

In May 2011, FASB issued revised guidance on the Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement
and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The revised guidance specifies how to measure fair value and improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, not requiring additional fair value measurements and not intending to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The revised guidance is effective to all reporting entities that
are required or permitted to measure or disclose the fair value of an asset, a liability, or an instrument classified in a reporting entitys shareholders equity in the financial statements during interim and annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2011. We have not early adopted the new guidance and are currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued revised guidance on the Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The revised guidance requires an entity to
present reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income and eliminates one presentation option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of
changes in stockholders equity. The revised guidance states that an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single
continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In a single continuous statement, the entity is required to present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive
income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with the total of comprehensive income in that statement. In the two-statement approach, an entity is required to present components of net income and total net income in the statement of net
income. The statement of other comprehensive income should immediately follow the statement of net income and include the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with a total for comprehensive
income. The revised guidance is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We have not early adopted the new guidance and are currently evaluating the impact on our
consolidated financial statements of adopting this guidance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK

While our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, to date the majority of our revenues and costs are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of our assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. As a
result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the RMB. If the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, the value of our RMB
revenues and assets as expressed in our U.S. dollar financial statements will decline. We do not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose us to substantial market risk.

The RMB is currently freely convertible under the current account, which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the capital
account, which includes foreign direct investment. In addition, commencing on July 21, 2005, China reformed its exchange rate regime by changing to a managed floating exchange rate regime based on market supply and demand with reference
to a basket of currencies. Under the managed floating exchange rate regime, the RMB is no longer pegged to the U.S. dollar. The exchange rate of the RMB against the U.S. dollar was adjusted to RMB8.11 per U.S. dollar as of July 21, 2005,
representing an appreciation of about 2%. The Peoples Bank of China will announce the closing prices of foreign currencies such as the U.S. dollar traded against the RMB in the inter-bank foreign exchange market after the closing of the market
on each business day, and will make such prices the central parity for trading against the RMB on the following business day. On May 19, 2007, the Peoples Bank of China announced a policy to expand the maximum daily floating range of RMB
trading prices against the U.S. dollar in the inter-bank spot foreign exchange market from 0.3% to 0.5%. While the international reactions to the RMB revaluation and widening of the RMBs daily trading band have generally been positive, with
the increased floating range of the RMBs value against foreign currencies, the RMB may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar or other foreign currencies in the long term, depending on the fluctuation of the
basket of currencies against which it is currently valued.

On June 19, 2010, the Peoples Bank of China announced that it has
decided to proceed further with the reform of the RMB exchange rate regime to enhance the flexibility of the RMB exchange rate and that emphasis would be placed on reflecting market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies. While
so indicating its intention to make the RMBs exchange rate more flexible, the Peoples Bank of China ruled out any sharp fluctuations in the currency or a one-off adjustment. In early August 2011, the center point of the currencys
official trading band hit 6.436 representing appreciation of more than 5%. As a result of the announcement, the RMB may appreciate or depreciate more significantly in value against the U.S. dollar or other foreign currencies in the long term,
depending on the market supply and demand with reference to a basket of currencies.

To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign
currency exchange risk. While we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and we may not be able to successfully hedge our exposure. Accordingly, we may incur economic losses in
the future due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, which could have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

The following table sets forth a summary of our foreign currency sensitive financial instruments as of June 30, 2011, which consisted of cash and
cash equivalents, short-term investments, investment in debt securities, account receivables, prepaid and other current assets, and current liabilities. The maturity of those financial instruments was less than one year and their book value
approximated fair value.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The basic objectives of our investment program are to protect the invested funds from excessive risk and to provide for liquidity that is sufficient to meet operating and investment cash requirements.
Under the investment policy, our excess cash is invested in high-quality securities which are limited as to length of time to maturity and the amount of credit exposure.

Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest income generated from excess cash invested in demand deposits and debt securities. We have not used derivative financial instruments in
our investment portfolio in order to reduce this risk. We have not been exposed nor do we anticipate being exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates.

INFLATION RATE RISK

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the consumer
price index grew 5.4% in the first half of 2011. This rate of inflation was the highest in the past two years, and there may be further inflation in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the Evaluation Date), have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that
all material information related to Sohu required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.

During the period covered by this quarterly report, there were no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Due to recent Chinese accounting scandals, the price of our common stock might fluctuate significantly and if our stock price drops sharply, we may
be subject to shareholder litigation, which could cause our stock price to fall further.

In the past few months, there have been
well-publicized accounting problems at several U.S.-listed Chinese companies that have resulted in significant drops in the trading prices of their shares and, in some cases, have led to the resignation of outside auditors, trading halts or share
de-listings by NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange, and investigations by the Division of Enforcement of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Many, but not all, of the companies involved in these scandals had entered the U.S. trading
market through reverse mergers into publicly traded shells. The scandals have had a broad effect on Chinese companies with shares listed in the United States. For example, Interactive Brokers Group joined other brokers in banning clients
from borrowing money to buy securities of any of 160 Chinese companies, including Sina, Sohu and most PRC-based Internet companies. We believe that, although we have had effective internal controls since our listing in NASDAQ in 2000 and we were one
of the few Chinese companies to report no material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting in the first year that Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was in effect, such accounting scandals in other Chinese companies
could have an adverse effect on the market for shares of our common stock. Investors could lose confidence in PRC companies in general, which could lead to fluctuations in the market prices of our common stock and, if such prices were to drop
sharply, could subject us to shareholder litigation, which could cause the price for our shares to drop further.

With the exception of the
forgoing, there are no material changes or updates to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2011.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Use of Proceeds

On July 17,
2000, Sohu completed an underwritten initial public offering of its common stock pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (SEC file No. 333-96137), which became effective on July 10, 2000. Public trading of the common stock offered
in the initial public offering commenced on July 12, 2000. Sohu sold an aggregate of 4,600,000 shares of common stock in the offering at a price to the public of $13 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $59.8 million. Sohus net
proceeds, after deduction of the underwriting discount of $4.2 million and other offering expenses of $3.2 million, were approximately $52.4 million. All shares sold in the offering were sold by Sohu.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, Sohu did not use any proceeds from the offering. The remaining net proceeds from the offering have been
invested in cash and cash equivalents. The use of the proceeds from the offering does not represent a material change in the use of proceeds described in the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 described above.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

ITEM 4. (REMOVED AND RESERVED)
