For our brand advertising business, we continue to place emphasis on online video and are convinced this will be an area of significant future growth. We have successfully expanded and diversified our collection of licensed and in-house produced quality video content, and develop innovative applications that cater to various devices, including the most sought after iPad. We are very encouraged by the fast-growing user base and new advertisers. For our online game business, Changyou demonstrated that the ongoing strategic release of feedback-driven content and a diverse portfolio of games are helping retain existing users, attract new ones, and reinforce the popularity of our games. We are optimistic about our ability to build on our momentum this year and add value over the long term.
Commenting on Sohu's brand advertising business, Ms. Belinda Wang, Co-President and COO, added, "Our brand advertising business performed well in the second quarter. The World Expo and World Cup clearly drove our strong performance. These events also enabled us to build stronger relationships with a growing roster of advertisers. Our investments in online video also led to encouraging increases in revenue in this area. As a result, we are starting to gain significant and sustained traction as we increasingly provide higher value advertising solutions to our advertising partners around China."

Ms. Carol Yu, Co-President and CFO of Sohu, commented, "We had a solid quarter as both our core businesses reported record revenues with strong growth. With our debt-free balance sheet, strong cash flows, and robust platform, we believe we are particularly well positioned to further expand and deliver long-term value to our shareholders."
Business Outlook
Sohu estimates total revenues for the third quarter of 2010 to be between US$153.0 million and US$158.0 million, with advertising revenues of US$61.0 million to US$63.0 million.
Sohu estimates brand advertising revenues for the third quarter of 2010 to be between US$57.0 million and US$59.0 million.
Sohu estimates online game revenues for the third quarter of 2010 to be between US$80.0 million and US$83.0 million.
Sohu estimates non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2010, before deducting the share of non-GAAP net income pertaining to the Non-Controlling Interest, to be between US$54.0 million to US$56.5 million. After deducting the share of non-GAAP net income pertaining to the Non-Controlling Interest, Sohu estimates non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2010 to be between US$39.0 million to US$41.0 million, and non-GAAP fully diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2010 to be between US$1.00 and US$1.05.
Assuming no new grants of share-based awards, Sohu estimates compensation expense and income tax expense related to share-based awards for the third quarter of 2010 to be between US$6.5 million and US$7.5 million, which includes Changyou's share-based compensation expense for the third quarter of 2010 estimated to be between US$1.5 million and US$2.0 million. Considering Sohu's share in Changyou, the estimated impact of this expense under US GAAP is expected to reduce Sohu's fully diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2010 by 16 US cents to 18 US cents.
Supplementary Information for Online Game Business
Operational Results
Aggregate registered accounts for Changyou's games(2) grew 12% quarter-over-quarter and 42% year-over-year to 98.2 million.
Changyou has adopted a new method for reporting aggregate peak concurrent users ("PCU") for Changyou's games. Aggregate PCU for Changyou's games determined under the previous method rose 23% quarter-over-quarter and 35% year-over-year to approximately 1.28 million. Aggregate PCU for Changyou's games determined under the new method rose 25% quarter-over-quarter and 21% year-over-year to approximately 1.14 million. Under the previous method, aggregate PCU for a quarter was determined by adding up the separate PCUs for each of Changyou's games for the quarter. Under the new method, the aggregate PCU reported by Changyou for its games will be the highest aggregate PCU of the games for a day that occurs during the quarter. We believe that the new method will provide investors with a better foundation for understanding the performance of our online game business on a comparative quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year basis. In this release, we are providing quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year comparisons using both methods in order to facilitate investors' understanding as Changyou transitions from the previous method to the new method. Going forward, we plan to only report aggregate PCU for Changyou's games determined under the new method.
Aggregate active paying accounts ("APA") for Changyou's games grew 17% quarter-over-quarter and 17% year-over-year to approximately 2.79 million.
Average revenue per active paying account ("ARPU") for Changyou's games was RMB184 for the quarter, a decline of 8% quarter-over-quarter and 1% year-over-year, which is consistent with Changyou's intention to have ARPU within a range that keeps Changyou's games affordable for the majority of Chinese game players.

and Zhong Hua Ying Xiong.
Revenues
Total online game revenues for the second quarter of 2010 increased 8% quarter-over-quarter and 17% year-over-year to US$77.7 million.
Revenues from game operations for the second quarter of 2010 increased 8% quarter-over-quarter and 16% year-over-year to US$75.6 million. The increases were mainly due to the ongoing popularity of TLBB, Changyou's flagship game.
Overseas licensing revenues for the second quarter of 2010 increased 15% quarter-over-quarter and 29% year-over-year to US$2.1 million. The increases were largely the result of increased momentum of TLBB in Vietnam and Malaysia.
Recent Business Developments
Open Beta Testing of Zhong Hua Ying Xiong
On May 20, 2010, Changyou began open beta testing of Zhong Hua Ying Xiong, Changyou's first 3D martial arts-themed massively multi-player online role-playing game ("MMORPG"). This licensed game is based on a popular Hong Kong comic book of the same name. The game features advanced 3D graphics, cinematic cutscenes, and dynamic real-time fighting movements that are designed to attract 3D online game enthusiasts.
Acquisition of I.C.E. Entertainment
In May 2010, Changyou completed the acquisition of I.C.E Entertainment Limited, a Shanghai-based online game developer and operator. The acquisition adds over 140 game engineers and game operation professionals to Changyou's platform.
Non-GAAP Disclosure
To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), Sohu's management uses non-GAAP measures of cost of revenues, operating expenses, income tax expense, net income and net income per share, which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude the impact of share-based awards granted to employees on the consolidated statements of operations, which consists mainly of share-based compensation expense and non-cash tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to share-based awards. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
Sohu's management believes excluding the impact of share-based awards from its non-GAAP financial measure is useful for itself and investors. Further, the impact of share-based awards cannot be anticipated by management and business line leaders and these expenses were not built into the annual budgets and quarterly forecasts, which have been the basis for information Sohu provides to analysts and investors as guidance for future operating performance. As the impact of share-based awards does not involve any upfront or subsequent cash outflow, Sohu does not factor this in when evaluating and approving expenditures or when determining the allocation of its resources to its business segments. As a result, in general, the monthly financial results for internal reporting and any performance measure for commissions and bonuses are based on non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of share-based awards.
The non-GAAP financial measures are provided to enhance investors' overall understanding of Sohu's current financial performance and prospects for the future. A limitation of using non-GAAP cost of revenues, operating expenses, net income and net income per share, excluding the impact of share-based awards, is that the impact of share-based awards have been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense in Sohu's business for the foreseeable future. In order to mitigate these limitations Sohu has provided specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying tables include details on the reconciliation between the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures that have been presented.
Notes to Financial Information
Financial information in this press release other than the information indicated as being non-GAAP is extracted from Sohu's unaudited interim financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Safe Harbor Statement
This announcement contains forward-looking statements. It is currently expected that the Business Outlook will not be updated until release of Sohu's next quarterly earnings announcement; however, Sohu reserves right to update its Business Outlook at any time for any reason. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about Sohu's beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and therefore you should not place undue reliance on them. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. We caution you that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the current global financial and credit markets crisis and its potential impact on the Chinese economy, the slower growth the Chinese economy experienced during the latter half of 2008 and in 2009, which could recur in the future, the uncertain regulatory landscape in the People's Republic of China, fluctuations in Sohu's quarterly operating results, and Sohu's reliance on online advertising sales, online games and wireless services (most wireless revenues are collected from a few mobile network operators) for its revenues. Further information regarding these and other risks is included in Sohu's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
