PRC laws and regulations require wholly-owned foreign enterprises (“WOFE”) to provide<br />

for the reserve fund by appropriating a part of the net profit (based on the entity’s<br />

statutory accounts) before dividend distribution. Each subsidiary being WOFE is required<br />

to appropriate at least 10% of its net profit after tax to the reserve fund until the balance<br />

of this fund has reached 50% of its registered capital. The reserve fund can only be used,<br />

upon approval by the relevant authority, to offset accumulated losses or increase capital.<br />

(ii) Enterprise expansion fund<br />

In accordance with relevant regulations and the articles of association of the Group’s PRC<br />

subsidiaries, appropriations from net profit should be made to the enterprise expansion<br />

fund, after offsetting accumulated losses from prior years, and before profit distributions<br />

to the investors for the subsidiaries registered in the PRC as a foreign invested company.<br />

The percentages to be appropriated to the enterprise expansion fund are determined by<br />

the board of directors of the subsidiaries.<br />

(iii) Statutory surplus reserve<br />

In accordance with the PRC Company Law and the articles of association of the Group’s<br />

PRC subsidiaries, a subsidiary registered in the PRC as a domestic company is required to<br />

appropriate 10% of its annual statutory net profit (after offsetting any prior years’ losses)<br />

to the statutory surplus reserve. When the balance of this reserve fund reaches 50% of the<br />

entity’s capital, any further appropriation is optional. The statutory surplus reserve can be<br />

utilised to offset prior years’ losses or to increase capital. However, the balance of the<br />

statutory surplus reserve must be maintained at a minimum of 25% of the capital after<br />
