When the statutory surplus reserve reaches 50% of the registered capital of a company, no additional reserve is required. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, no statutory reserve was appropriated by the subsidiaries in China. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the subsidiary in China appropriated statutory reserve $1.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
