21. | Statutory Reserves
Our subsidiaries located in China are required to transfer 10% of their net income, as determined in accordance with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) accounting rules and regulations, to a statutory surplus reserve fund until such reserve balance reaches 50% of the company’s registered capital. The transfer to this reserve must be made before distributions of any dividend to shareholders. As of October 28, 2018, the company’s statutory surplus reserve was $4.2 million, representing 10% of accumulated earnings and profits determined in accordance with PRC accounting rules and regulations. The surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than during liquidation and can be used to fund previous years’ losses, if any, and may be utilized for business expansion or converted into share capital by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in proportion to their shareholding or by increasing the par value of the shares currently held by them provided that the remaining reserve balance after such issue is not less than 25% of the registered capital. Our subsidiaries located in China can transfer funds to the parent company with the exception of the statutory surplus reserve of $4.2 million to assist with debt repayment, capital expenditures, and other expenses of the company’s business.
