As of September 30, 2020, the balance of construction in progress was $72.7 million, of which $57.8 million was related to our buildings in our new Dingxing and Kazuo locations, $4.2 million was for manufacturing equipment purchases not yet placed in service and $10.7 million was for our construction in progress for our other consolidated subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2019, the balance of construction in progress was $61.8 million, of which $48.8 million was for our buildings in our new Dingxing and Kazuo locations, $3.4 million was for manufacturing equipment purchases not yet placed in service and $9.6 million was for our construction in progress at our other consolidated subsidiaries. 

​

From time to time we review our estimates of the useful lives of our property, plant and equipment. As a result of the review, we determined a portion of our manufacturing equipment was lasting longer than the estimate previously established for the respective useful lives. Where appropriate, we extended the useful life of the manufacturing equipment in our accounting records. In addition, the useful life of our buildings located in China was extended to better

align with industry standards. The changes in our estimate of the useful life, effective January 1, 2020, were made in order to remain consistent with US GAAP regarding management estimates. The effect of the change in the useful lives decreased our manufacturing costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 by approximately $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, and increased our basic and diluted net income per share by approximately $0.01 and $0.03, respectively, as a result of lower depreciation expense.
