PRC labor regulations require the Group to accrue for these benefits based on a certain percentage of the employees' salaries. Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, the Group recognized $3,325,383, $3,142,213 and $3,130,308 respectively. (b) Statutory Reserves Foreign invested enterprises in PRC are required under PRC laws to provide for certain statutory reserves, such as a general reserve, an enterprise expansion fund and a staff welfare and bonus fund. These entities are required to allocate at least 10% of their after tax profits as reported in their PRC statutory financial statements to the general reserve and have the right to discontinue allocations to the general reserve if the balance of such reserve have reached 50% of their registered capital.

As a result of these PRC laws and regulations, the Company's PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their abilities to transfer the registered capital and statutory reserves to the Company in the form of dividends, loans or advances and the restricted portion amounted to $124,814,365 and $182,840,330 as of December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.
