* In calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share, the amount of Leju’s net income included in net income (loss) attributable to E-House’s ordinary shareholders is calculated by multiplying Leju’s diluted EPS by the weighted average number of Leju shares held by E-House’s during the period, which may result in net income (loss) attributable to E-House ordinary shareholders, for purposes of computing diluted earnings (loss) per share, being different from that actually recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. This difference is presented as increase (decrease) of income (loss) from Leju.
