NOTE 15

STATUTORY RESERVES

The Company is required to make appropriations to reserve funds, comprising the statutory surplus reserve, statutory public welfare fund and discretionary surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC (the “PRC GAAP”). Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve should be at least 10% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entities’ registered capital or members’ equity. Appropriations to the statutory public welfare fund are at a minimum of 5% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP. Commencing on January 1, 2006, the new PRC regulations waived the requirement for appropriating retained earnings to a welfare fund. In accordance with the Chinese Company Law, the Company allocated 10% of income after taxes to the statutory surplus reserve for the six months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, statutory reserve activity is as follows:

Addition to statutory reserves		2,117,544

Balance – June 30, 2013	$	16,684,390
