Full time employees of the Company in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees.

The employee benefits were expensed as incurred. The Company has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made. The total amounts for such employee benefits were approximately US$279,000 and US$265,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The total amounts for such employee benefits were approximately US$135,000 and US$136,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
