As a result of the Company's strong financial performance, the Board of Directors approved a payout of 30% of the annual net income to the shareholders for the fiscal year of 2004, 2005,2006 and 2007, respectively. However, the Company does not have a pre-defined dividend policy. The board will continue to evaluate whether to pay an annual dividend based on the Company's potential long-term capital requirements relating to operating needs, investments, acquisitions and as well as business risks faced by the Company. | Announcement Date | Ex-Dividend | Record | Payable | Amount | | 06/24/05 | 06/28/05 | 06/30/05 | 07/08/05 | $0.305 | | 06/20/06 | 06/28/06 | 06/30/06 | 07/14/06 | $0.255 | | 06/25/07 | 06/27/07 | 06/29/07 | 07/06/07 | $0.277 | | 06/03/08 | 06/10/08 | 06/12/08 | 07/07/08 | $0.244 |
