			December 31,			March 31,
			2017			2018

	Accumulated depreciation		(3,371,234	)		(4,034,475	)
	Carrying amount	$	34,965,510		$	35,840,227

During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, the Company incurred depreciation expense of $291,872 and $532,213, respectively

The Company has not yet obtained the property ownership certificates of the buildings in its Dalian manufacturing facilities with a carrying amount of $23,670,773 and $24,358,528 as of December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018, 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.

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 during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2018.
