China In March 2007, a new enterprise income tax law (the “New EIT Law”) in the PRC was enacted which was effective on January 1, 2008. The New EIT Law applies a uniform 25% EIT rate to both foreign invested enterprises and domestic enterprises. The new law provides a five-year transition period from its effective date for those enterprises which were established before the promulgation date of the new tax law and which were entitled to a preferential tax treatment such as a reduced tax rate or a tax holiday. Based on the transitional rule, certain categories of enterprises, including the foreign invested enterprise located in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Pudong New District, which previously enjoyed a preferential tax rate of 15% are eligible for a five-year transition period during which the income tax rate will be gradually increased to the unified rate of 25%. Specifically, the applicable rates for AMS and MSC would be 22%, 24% and 25% for 2010, 2011, 2012 and thereafter, respectively. AMS and MSC have accounted for their current and deferred income tax based on the five-year transitional tax rates, as applicable. Dividends paid by PRC subsidiaries of the Group out of the profits earned after December 31, 2007 to non-PRC tax resident investors would be subject to PRC withholding tax. The withholding tax would be 10%, unless a foreign investor’s tax jurisdiction has a tax treaty with China that provides for a lower withholding tax rate. In general, the PRC tax authorities have up to five years to conduct examinations of the PRC entities’ tax filings. Accordingly, the PRC entities’ tax years from 2006 to 2010 remain subject to examination by the tax authorities. Income before income taxes consists of:

It is possible that the amount of unrecognized tax positions will change in the next twelve months. However, an estimate of the range of the possible change cannot be made at this time. The bases for interest and penalties are of 0.05% per day and 50% respectively of the relevant income tax liabilities.

Aggregate undistributed earnings of the Company’s subsidiaries located in the PRC that are available for distribution at December 31, 2011 are considered to be indefinitely reinvested under ASC 740, Income Taxes, and accordingly, no provision has been made for taxes that would be payable upon the distribution of those amounts to any entity within the Group outside the PRC. Unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in foreign subsidiaries were not recorded because the determination of that amount is not practicable. The Group does not have any present plan to pay any cash dividends from the PRC subsidiaries in the foreseeable future. It intends to retain most of its available funds and any future earnings on its PRC subsidiaries for use in the operation and expansion of its business. As of December 31, 2011, the PRC subsidiaries have not declared any dividends to its holding companies. Dividends paid to shareholders in 2011 were from funds held by the Group's offshore holding companies. Business taxes Generally revenue earned from the provision of leasing and management services is subject to 5% business tax regulations promulgated by the State Council of the PRC. According to Guoshuihan [1999] No. 3402 issued by State Administration of Tax (the “SAT”), the revenue generated from certain qualified profit sharing cooperation arrangements, which is treated as investment income under existing PRC tax regulation is not subject to business taxes. One of the Group’s subsidiaries has not recorded any business taxes on certain of its leasing and management services on the basis that revenue generated from these profit sharing cooperation arrangements with hospitals are not subject to business taxes. Based on the above, management believes that it is not probable the SAT will challenge this subsidiary’s position that it’s not subject to business tax for those profit sharing cooperation arrangements.
