During the three months period ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred depreciation expense of $228,335 and 286,356, respectively.

The Company has not yet obtained the property ownership certificates of the buildings in its Dalian manufacturing facilities with a carrying amount of $16,958,674 and $16,178,549 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company built its facilities on the land for which it had already obtained the related land use right. The Company has submitted applications to the Chinese government for the ownership certificates on the completed buildings located on these lands. However, the application process takes longer than the Company expected and it has not obtained the certificates as of the date of this report. However, since the Company has obtained the land use right in relation to the land, the management believe the Company has legal title to the buildings thereon albeit the lack of ownership certificates. As soon as the Chinese government completes its formalities, the Company will obtain the ownership certificates. The management expects that they will obtain the property ownership certificates by March 2017.

During the course of the Company’s strategic review of its operations, the Company assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of the Company’s property, plant and equipment. The impairment charge, if any, represented the excess of carrying amounts of the Company’s property, plant and equipment over the estimated discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the Company’s production facilities. The Company believes that there was no impairment of its property, plant and equipment as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016.
