China has corporate tax rate of 25% with net operating loss carry forwards expiring after 5 years. The Company had $14.7 million of net operating loss carry forwards in China as of December 31, 2019. Hong Kong has a corporate tax rate of 17% with net operating loss carry forwards that don't expire. The Company had $2.8million of net operating loss carry forwards in Hong Kong as of December 31, 2019. On October 25, 2019, the Company acquired wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries in Finland, Sweden and Norway. These companies had net operating loss carryforwards of $11.2 million in Finland and $12.9 million in Sweden. There were no net operating loss carryforwards in Norway. The Finland tax rate is 33.6% and the Sweden tax rate is 21.4%. Due to the uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to retain the tax benefits of these losses in Sweden, the Company has not included these net operating loss carryforwards as part of their deferred tax assets. The Company's net operating loss carry forwards may be limited due to ownership changes.
