The Company presents the payables to and receivables from E-House on a net basis as part of the “Amounts due to related parties” on the consolidated balance sheet, and provides disclosures of the nature and amount of the related party transactions as well as balances as of the date of each balance sheet presented pursuant to the requirements of ASC 850-10-50. The Company notes that “ASC 850-10 paragraph 60-7 states:

A right of setoff exists when all of the following conditions are met:

a.              Each of two parties owes the other determinable amounts.

b.              The reporting party has the right to set off the amount owed with the amount owed by the other party.

c.               The reporting party intends to set off.

d.              The right of setoff is enforceable at law.

Specifically, the movements of the loan payable is presented as “loans from (refund to) E-House for working capital” in the rollforward table disclosed in Note 13 on page F-36. Please see below excerpt from Note 13 with notes on the movements of the loan payable.

The rollforward of the payable (receivable) balance with E-House for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 is as follows:

Notes

A.             Represents the movement of the loan payable to E-House

B.              Represents the movement of the loans from E-House for capital contributions and headquarter expenses allocated by E-House prior to Leju’s initial public offering, which were subsequently 100% waived by E-House and recorded as capital contributions by Leju.  Accordingly, the net balance at each year end is zero.

C.              Represents the movement of service fees receivable from and payable to E-House.

D.             Represents Leju revenues collected by E-House on behalf of the Company
