1. The Labor Pension Act took effect on July 1, 2005 and laborers were allowed to choose between the pension system set forth in the Labor Standards Act, or the pension system set forth in the Labor Pension Act with their years of service retained for the new pension system. The Company established its Employee Retirement Regulations in accordance with the Labor Pension Act, and began contributing 6% of employees' monthly salaries to their personal pension account starting on July 1, 2005. (Pursuant to the Labor Pension Act, the ratio of pension contributions to be borne by employers may not be lower than 6% of employees' monthly salaries.)
2. The Company's Employee Retirement Regulations established in accordance with the Labor Standards Act uses the defined benefits plan, in which employees receive two basis points for each full year of service within 15 years (inclusive), and an additional basis point for each year after 15 years, limited to 45 basis points in total. Payment of employee pensions is calculated based on the employee's years of service and 6-month average wage before the approved date of retirement. The calculation of average wage is in accordance with the Labor Standards Act. The Company makes contributions to employees' pension fund in a dedicated account at the Central Trust of China in accordance with the Labor Standard Act.
3. The Company handles pensions in accordance with SFAS No. 18.
