During this initial year of operation, the subsidiary reported a profit of 47,000 kites. It distributed two dividends, each for 7,100 kites with one dividend paid on March 1 and the other on October 1. Applicable exchange rates for 1 kite follow:

  October 1, 2013   0.75 
  December 31, 2013   0.74
