The PRC laws and regulations require that annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax income should be set aside prior to payments of dividends as statutory surplus reserve until the balance reaches 50% of the PRC entity registered capital. In private school sector, the PRC laws and regulations require that certain amount should be set aside as development fund prior to payments of dividends. In the case of for-profit private school, this amount should be no less than 10% of the audited annual net income of the school, while in the case of a non-profit private school, this amount should be no less than 10% of audited annual increase in the non-restricted net assets of the school, if any. The statutory reserve may be applied against prior year losses, if any, and may be used for general business expansion and production or increase in registered capital of the entities. For the years ended February 28, 2021 and 2022, the Group made apportions of $1,721 and $40,489 to the statutory surplus reserve, respectively, and made $36,852 and reversed $7,412 to the development fund, respectively. 24.
