No bonus was paid to the Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009. The amounts reflected the salary paid to the Executives during each of fiscal years. The Company withheld 3 month salary payment for Dr. Leung and Mr. Hui during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

As required by SEC rules, amounts in the column “Stock Awards” present the aggregate grant date fair value of awards made each year computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification™ 718
Compensation—Stock Compensation
(“FASB ASC 718”). The grant date fair value of each of the executives’ award is measured based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.
These amounts do not reflect whether the recipient has actually realized or will realize a financial benefit from the awards. Under generally accepted accounting principles, compensation expense with respect to stock awards granted to our employees, executives and directors is generally recognized over the requisite services period. The SEC’s disclosure rules previously required that we present stock award information based on the amount recognized during the corresponding year for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to these awards. However, the recent changes in the SEC’s disclosure rules require that we now present stock award amounts using the grant date fair value of the awards granted during the corresponding year.

All other compensation only represents the followings:
(a) a monthly contribution of HK$1,000 (approximately $128) paid by the Company into a mandatory provident fund for the benefit of each of the Named Executive Officers;
(b) monthly cash allowance of HK$40,000 (approximately $5,128) paid to Dr. Earnest Leung and Mr. Godfrey Hui commencing from July 2009 and monthly allowance of HK$6,000 (approximately $769) paid to Ms. Jennifer Fu commencing from February 2010; The Company withheld 3 month cash allowance for Dr. Leung and Mr. Hui during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011; and
(c) income tax reimbursement paid to Dr. Earnest Leung, Mr. Godfrey Hui and Ms Jennifer Fu during each fiscal year. As the Company disclosed the income tax reimbursement accrued to each of executives for past years, the amounts reported in the table above differ from the amounts previously reported in our Summary Compensation Table for the same persons in those same years. As of December 31, 2011, the accrued income tax reimbursement to Dr. Leung, Mr. Hui and Ms Fu was $59,977, $34,578 and $1,188 respectively.
There is no item that is not a perquisite or personal benefit (such as tax reimbursements and contributions to the mandatory provident fund) whose value exceeds $10,000 for each Named Executives.
