NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 AND 2017

(Renminbi in thousands, except share data and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

        China Lodging Group, Limited (the "Company") was incorporated in the Cayman Islands under the laws of the Cayman Islands on January 4, 2007. The principal business activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Group") are to develop leased and owned, manachised and franchised hotels under the "Joya Hotel", "Manxin Hotel", "JI Hotel", "Starway Hotel", "HanTing Hotel", "Elan Hotel", "Hi Inn", "VUE Hotel", "Crystal Orange Hotel", "Orange Hotel Select", and "Orange Hotel" brands in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). The Group also has the rights as master franchisee for Mercure, Ibis and Ibis Styles, and co-development rights for Grand Mercure and Novotel, in Pan-China region.

Leased and owned hotels

        The Group leases hotel properties from property owners or purchases properties directly and is responsible for all aspects of hotel operations and management, including hiring, training and supervising the managers and employees required to operate the hotels. In addition, the Group is responsible for hotel development and customization to conform to the standards of the Group brands at the beginning of the lease or the construction, as well as repairs and maintenance, operating expenses and management of properties over the term of the lease or the land and building certificate.

        Under the lease arrangements, the Group typically receives rental holidays of two to six months and pays rent on a quarterly or biannual basis. Rent is typically subject to the fixed escalations of three to five percent every three to five years. The Group recognizes rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

        As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017, the Group had 624 and 686 leased and owned hotels in operation, respectively.

Manachised and franchised hotels

        Typically the Group enters into certain franchise and management arrangements with franchisees for which the Group is responsible for providing branding, quality assurance, training, reservation, hiring and appointing of the hotel general manager and various other support services relating to the hotel renovation and operation. Those hotels are classified as manachised hotels. Under typical franchise and management agreements, the franchisee is required to pay an initial franchise fee and ongoing franchise and management service fees, the majority of which are equal to a certain percentage of the revenues of the hotel. The franchisee is responsible for the costs of hotel development, renovation and the costs of its operations. The term of the franchise and management agreements are typically eight to ten years and are renewable upon mutual agreement between the Group and the franchisee. The Group also has some franchised hotels in which cases the Group does not provide a hotel general manager. As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017, the Group had 2,471 and 2,654 manachised hotels in operation and 174 and 201 franchised hotels in operation, respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

        The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, regarding financial reporting, and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management of the Group considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and operation results. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Group's 2016 20-F.

Basis of consolidation

        The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

        The Group evaluates the need to consolidate certain variable interest entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.

        The Group is deemed as the primary beneficiary of and consolidates variable interest entities when the Group has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic success of the entities and effectively assumes the obligation to absorb losses and has the rights to receive benefits that are potentially significant to the entities.

        The Group evaluates its business activities and arrangements with the entities that operate the manachised and franchised hotels to identify potential variable interest entities. Generally, these entities qualify for the business scope exception, therefore consolidation is not appropriate under the variable interest entity consolidation guidance.

Impairment of long-lived assets

        The Group evaluates its long-lived assets and finite lived intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Group measures impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of these assets.

        The Group performed a recoverability test of its long-lived assets associated with certain hotels due to the continued underperformance relative to the projected operating results, of which the carrying amount of the property and equipment exceed the future undiscounted net cash flows, and

2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

recognized an impairment loss of RMB39,615 and RMB44,439 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

        Fair value of the property and equipment was determined by the Group based on the income approach using the discounted cash flow associated with the underlying assets, which incorporated certain assumptions including projected hotels' revenue, growth rates and projected operating costs based on current economic condition, expectation of management and projected trends of current operating results.

Revenue recognition

        Revenue from leased and owned hotels is derived from hotel operations, mainly including the rental of rooms, food and beverage sales and souvenir sales. Revenue is recognized when rooms are occupied and food and beverages and souvenirs are sold.

        Revenues from manachised and franchised hotels are derived from franchise agreements where the franchisees are primarily required to pay (i) an initial one-time franchise fee, and (ii) continuing franchise fees, which mainly consist of (a) on-going management and service fees mainly based on a certain percentage of the room revenues of the franchised hotels, and (b) system maintenance, support fees and central reservation system usage fees. The one-time franchise fee is recognized when the manachised and franchised hotel opens for business, the fee becomes non-refundable, and the Group has fulfilled all its commitments and obligations, including the assistance to the franchisees in property design, leasehold improvement construction project management, systems installation and personnel recruiting and training. The ongoing management and service fees are recognized when the underlying service revenue is recognized by the franchisees' operations. The system maintenance, support fee and central reservation system usage fee is recognized over the period when services are provided.

        In addition, the Group accounts for hotel manager fees related to the manachised hotels under the franchise program as revenues. Pursuant to the franchise agreements, the Group charges the franchisees fixed hotel manager fees to cover the manachised hotel managers' payroll, social welfare benefits and certain other out-of-pocket expenses that the Group incurs on behalf of the manachised hotels. The hotel manager fee is recognized as revenue monthly. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 and 2017, the hotel manager fees that were recognized as revenue were RMB 155,633 and RMB176,517, respectively

        Membership fees from the Group's customer loyalty program are earned and recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected membership duration of the different membership levels. Such duration is estimated based on the Group's and management's experience and is adjusted on a periodic basis to reflect changes in membership retention. The membership duration is estimated to be two to five years which reflects the expected membership retention. Revenues recognized from the customer loyalty program were RMB70,815, and RMB77,376 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

        Other revenues are derived from activities other than the operation of hotel businesses, which mainly include revenues from Hua Zhu mall and the provision of IT products and services to hotels.

2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Revenues from Hua Zhu mall are commissions charged from suppliers for goods sold through the platform and are recognized upon delivery of goods to end customers when its suppliers' obligation is fulfilled and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues from IT products are recognized when goods are delivered and revenues from IT services are recognized when services are rendered.

Leases

        A lease of which substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to ownership remain with the lessor is classified as an operating lease. All leases of the Group are currently classified as operating leases. When a lease contains rent holidays or requires fixed escalations of the minimum lease payments, the Group records the total rental expense on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term and the difference between the straight-line rental expense and cash payment under the lease is recorded as deferred rent. As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017, deferred rent of RMB37,648 and RMB41,595 were recorded as other current liabilities and RMB1,023,843 and RMB1,242,292 were recorded as long-term liabilities, respectively.

Fair value

        The Group defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

        The established fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value include:

            Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

            Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

            Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

        The estimated fair value of the Group's financial instruments of which the inputs used to value are classified as Level 2 and are not reported at fair value, including cash, restricted cash, loan receivables, receivables, payables and accruals, approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature or

because the interest rate approximates market rate. Cost-method investments are presented at cost unless impaired based on the result of impairment assessment, as the investees are all private entities and their fair values are not practicable to obtain without undue cost. As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017, cost-method investments were RMB172,571 and RMB246,971 respectively.

        When available, the Group uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset or liability. If quoted market prices are not available, the Group measures fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates.

        As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017, information about inputs into the fair value measurements of the Group's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is as follows:

2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

RMB150,533, and RMB44,439 for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the six-month period ended June 30, 2017 respectively. As a result of the impairment assessment, the Group determined that the long term investment with a carrying amount of RMB3,208 was impaired for the year ended December 31, 2016.

        Fair value of the property and equipment as well as the reporting units was determined by the Group based on the income approach using the discounted cash flow associated with the underlying assets, which incorporated certain assumptions including projected hotels' revenue, growth rates and projected operating costs based on current economic condition, expectation of management and projected trends of current operating results. As a result, the Group has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its long-lived assets held and used and its reporting units are unobservable inputs that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The revenue growth rate and the discount rate were the significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement, which are 4% and 20%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2016 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Translation into United States Dollars

        The financial statements of the Group are stated in RMB. Translations of amounts from RMB into United States dollars are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the rate of US$1.00 = RMB6.7793, on June 30, 2017, as set forth in H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board. The translation is not intended to imply that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into United States dollars at that rate on June 30, 2017, or at any other rate.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

        In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): "Scope of Modification Accounting". This update provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments affect any entity that changes the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. For the Group, the amendments are effective January 1, 2018. The Group has not made any changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards but will refer to the guidance in ASU 2017-09 should that occur. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

6. LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS (Continued)

        In December 2016, the Group purchased 11,635,400 ordinary shares of Banyan Tree Holdings Limited ("Banyan Tree"), a leading, international hospitality brand that manages and develops premium resorts, hotels and spas listed in Singapore Stock Exchange in Singapore, from open market for consideration of RMB27,328. As of December 31, 2016, the Group holds approximately 2% of Banyan Tree's total outstanding shares. In January 2017, the Group purchased 3,000,000 ordinary shares of Banyan Tree from open market for consideration of RMB7,020. In April 2017, the Group sold all the 14,635,400 ordinary shares and reclassified the accumulated unrealized gain of RMB1,469 from other comprehensive income to other income accordingly.

        Given the level of investments, the Group accounts for its investments in Quanjude, Tang Palace, and Banyan Tree as "available-for-sale" and measured the fair value at every period end. The unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are reported in other comprehensive income until realized.

        In 2016, the Group sold its subsidiary- Chengjia Hotel Management Co., Ltd. to Chengjia (Shanghai) Apartment Management Co., Limited ("Cjia"), the Group's equity investee. As a result, the Group recognized a gain of RMB49,630 in other income. As of December 31, 2016, the Group had approximately 23% equity interest of Cjia and convertible note with original value of RMB51,200. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Group invested in Cjia for another two set of convertible notes totaled RMB200,300. As of June 30, 2017, the Group had approximately 23% equity interest of Cjia and convertible notes with original value of RMB251,500. The convertible notes are recorded as available-for-sale investments. The Group recognized its share of loss in Cjia of RMB15,737 in income (loss) from equity method investments for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, which reduced the cost of equity-method investment to zero and further adjusted the carrying amount of convertible notes balance to RMB226,530 as of June 30, 2017. The remaining carrying amount of the convertible notes approximated its fair value as of June 30, 2017.

Cost-method investments:

        From 2012 to 2013, the Group invested in preferred shares and convertible promissory notes of UBOX International Holdings Co., Limited ("UBOX"), a privately-held company, with the total consideration of RMB40,517. The convertible notes were subsequently converted to ordinary shares of UBOX in 2013 and 2014. As a result of restructuring of UBOX group, the investment in UBOX has been converted to the investment of ordinary shares of Beijing UBOX On-line Technology Co., Ltd. ("BJ UBOX"). The Group has additionally injected RMB7,703 to BJ UBOX in 2015. In April 2017, the Group sold 4,810,000 shares of BJ UBOX and recognized gain of RMB35,545 in other income. As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017, the Group had approximately 3% and 2% equity interest of BJ UBOX, respectively. The investments were accounted for using the cost method since the Group does not have the ability to exert significant influence over the operating and financing activities of UBOX or BJ UBOX.

Chinese bike-sharing company. In May 2017, the Group converted the entire outstanding principal amount and accrued interest of the convertible notes into 648,559 preferred shares. As of June 30, 2017, the Group had less than 1% equity interest of Mobike. The Group accounted the investment under cost method since the Group does not have the ability to exert significant influence over Mobike.

        In May 2017, the Group purchased approximately 4% equity interest of Blossom Hill Hotel Investment & Management (Kunshan) Co., Ltd ("Blossom Hill"), a Chinese hospitality brand that manages and develops premium resorts and hotels with strong features of traditional Chinese culture, for the consideration of RMB15,194. The Group accounted the investment under cost method since the Group does not have the ability to exert significant influence over Blossom Hill.

        Other investments included several insignificant cost method investments in certain privately-held companies.

Equity-method investments:

        In January 2016, the Group set up Shanghai Distrii Technology Development Co., Ltd. ("Distrii") together with another founder. Distrii is an office rental service company in which the Group contributed RMB35,000 and owned equity interest of 39%. In January 2017, another unrelated investor injected in Distrii which diluted the Group's share of equity interest to 32%, and afterwards the Group sold 6% of Distrii's equity interest for consideration of RMB18,000 and recognized gain of RMB22,682 in other income. As of June 30, 2017, the Group had approximately 26% equity interest of Distrii. The Group accounted for the investment in Distrii under equity-method as the Group has the ability to exert significant influence.

        Other investments included several insignificant equity investments in certain privately-held companies.

8. DEBT

        In April 2017, the Group entered into a three-year bank loan contract, under which the Group can borrow up to US$40 million (equivalently RMB270,976) for the period ended September 30, 2017, and the Group had a RMB307,000 deposit pledged accordingly. The interest rate of this borrowing is based on the three-month Libor on draw-down date plus 1.4%. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Group had drawn down US$40 million (equivalently RMB270,976) under this contract and repaid nil. As of June 30, 2017, a portion of loan of US$0.02 million (equivalently RMB135) was recorded under "short-term debt" and the carrying amount of the remaining long term loan was US$39.98 million (equivalently RMB270,841). The weighted average interest rate for borrowings drawn under such credit facility was 2.57% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017.

        In May 2017, the Group entered into an US$250 million (equivalently RMB1,693,600) term facility and US$250 million (equivalently RMB1,693,600) revolving credit facility agreement with several banks. The US$250 million (equivalently RMB1,693,600) revolving credit facility is available for 35 months after the date of the agreement. The interest rate on the loan is Libor plus 1.75%. There are some financial covenants including interest cover, leverage and tangible net worth related to this facility. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Group had drawn down US$500 million (equivalently RMB3,387,200) under this contract and repaid nil. As of June 30, 2017, the carrying amount of this long term loan was US$500 million (equivalently RMB3,387,200). The weighted average interest rate for the loan was 2.94% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. The Group is in compliance with all the financial covenants as of June 30, 2017.

9. INCOME TAXES

        The effective tax rate is based on expected income and statutory tax rates. For interim financial reporting, the Group estimates the annual tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision in accordance with ASC No. 740-270 "Income tax—Interim reporting". As the year progresses, the Group refines the estimates of the year's taxable income as new information becomes available. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Group adjusts the income tax provision (benefit) during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected annual tax rate.

        The Group considers positive and negative evidence to determine whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of recent losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Group's experience with tax attributes expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. Valuation allowances have been established for deferred tax assets based on a more-likely-than-not threshold. The Group's ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on its ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward periods provided for in the tax law.

        The Group's effective tax rate for the six months periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2017 was 21.8% and 25.2% respectively.

10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

        The Group measures share-based compensation in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income based on the fair value of equity awards on the date of the grant, with compensation expenses recognized typically on a straight-line basis over the period in which the grantee is required to provide service to the Group in exchange for the equity award. The Group estimates the fair value of stock options using the binomial option pricing model. The fair value of nonvested restricted stock with service conditions or performance conditions is based on the fair market value of the underlying ordinary shares on the date of grant.

        The share-based compensation expenses have been categorized as either hotel operating costs, general and administrative expenses or selling and marketing expenses, depending on the job functions of the grantees. For the six month period ended June 30, 2016 and 2017, the Group recognized share-based compensation expenses of RMB31,095 and RMB31,820, respectively, which was classified as follows:
