Note 10 - STATUTORY RESERVES

The Company’s subsidiaries and VIE in the PRC are required to make appropriations to certain non-distributable reserve funds. In accordance with the laws and regulations applicable to China’s foreign investment enterprises and with China’s Company Laws, an enterprise’s income, after the payment of PRC income taxes, must be allocated to the statutory surplus reserves. The proportion of allocation for reserves is 10 percent of the profit after tax to the surplus reserve fund, not to exceed 50 percent of registered capital.

Use of the statutory reserve fund is restricted to set offs against losses, expansion of production and operation or increase in the registered capital of a company. Use of the statutory public welfare fund is restricted to the capital expenditures for the collective welfare of employees. These reserves are not transferable to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. These reserves are therefore not available for distribution except in liquidation. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s VIE had allocated $4,666,381 and $4,666,381, respectively, to these non-distributable reserve funds.
