Restricted net assets |
Restricted net assets | 16. Restricted net assets The Group’s ability to pay dividends may depend on the Group receiving distributions of funds from its Chinese subsidiar ies . Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Group’s PRC subsidiar ies only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the Group’s PRC subsidiar ies . In accordance with the Company Law of the PRC, a domestic enterprise is required to provide statutory reserves of at least 10% of its annual after-tax profit until such reserve has reached 50% of its respective registered capital based on the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. A domestic enterprise is also required to provide discretionary surplus reserve, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, from the profits determined in accordance with the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends. The Group’s Chinese subsidiaries were established as domestic invested enterprise and therefore are subject to the above-mentioned restrictions on distributable profits. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, no appropriation to statutory reserves was made because the Chinese subsidiar ies had substantial losses during such periods. As a result of these PRC laws and regulations subject to the limit discussed above that require annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax income to be set aside, prior to payment of dividends, as general reserve fund, the Group’s Chinese subsidiar ies are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Group. Foreign exchange and other regulation in China may further restrict the Group’s Chinese subsidiar ies from transferring funds to the Group in the form of dividends, loans and advances. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, amounts restricted are the paid-in capital of the Group’s Chinese subsidiaries, which amounted to $306,010 and $255,858, respectively.
