NOTE 10. PENSION PLANS

 

In 2016, the Group participates in a defined contribution pension scheme under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (“MPF Scheme”) for all its eligible employees in Hong Kong.

 

The MPF Scheme is available to all employees aged 18 to 64 with at least 60 days of service in the employment in Hong Kong.  Contributions are made by the Groups subsidiary operating in Hong Kong at 5% of the participants relevant income with a ceiling of HK$30,000.  The participants are entitled to 100% of the Groups contributions together with accrued returns irrespective of their length of service with the Group, but the benefits are required by law to be preserved until the retirement age of 65.  The only obligation of the Group with respect to MPF Scheme is to make the required contributions under the plan.

 

In the year ended December 31, 2016, the assets of the schemes are controlled by trustees and held separately from those of the Group.  In 2016, no assets are allocated to pension. Total pension cost was $Nil during year ended December 31, 2016 (2015: $Nil).
