Board of Directors on March 12, 2010.
B. There was no difference between the actual amounts of employees bonuses and
directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration for 2009 and 2008 and the amounts accrued
as expenses in the 2009 and 2008 financial statements.
C. As of financial reporting date, the appropriation of 2010 earnings had not been
resolved by the Board of Directors. Information on the appropriation of the
Company’s earnings as resolved by the Board of Directors and approved by the
stockholders will be posted in the “Market Observation Post System” at the website

(5) The Company estimates the amount of employees’ bonuses and directors’ and
supervisors’ remuneration according to the Company Law and the Company’s articles of
incorporation. The employees’ bonuses and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
were estimated based on a specific percentage approved by the management in
accordance with the Company’s articles of incorporation. The Company recognized
employees’ bonuses of $710,625 and $698,438, and directors’ and supervisors’
remuneration of $142,125 and $69,844 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. The number of shares of the dividend distribution is based on the closing
price of the day before the shareholders’ meeting date and considering the effect of
ex-rights and ex-dividends. Differences between the amounts approved in the
shareholders’ meeting and those recognized in the financial statements, if any, are
accounted for as changes in accounting estimates and recognized as profit or loss in the
year of distribution.
