Note 9 – Statutory Reserve and Development Fund

As stipulated by the Company Law of the PRC, net income after taxation can only be distributed as dividends after appropriation has been made for the following:

Making up cumulative prior years’ losses, if any;

ii.

Allocations to the “statutory surplus reserve” of at least 10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, until the fund amounts to 50% of the Company’s registered capital;

iii.

Allocations of 5-10% of income after tax, as determined under PRC accounting rules and regulations, to the Company’s “statutory common welfare fund,” which is established for the purpose of providing employee facilities and other collective benefits to the Company’s employees; and

iv.

Allocations to the discretionary surplus reserve, if approved in the stockholders’ general meeting. The Company allocates 5% of income after tax as development fund. The fund is for enlarging the Company’s business and increasing capital.

Pursuant to the new Corporate Law effective on January 1, 2006, there is now only one “statutory surplus reserve” requirement. The reserve is 10% of income after tax, not to exceed 50% of registered capital.

The Company appropriated $3,029,967, $3,755,921 and $1,286,315 as reserve for the statutory surplus reserve, and $1,514,984, $1,877,960 and $643,158 as reserve for development fund, for 2011, 2010 and 2009 respectively.
