   December 31,   March 31, 
   2018   2019 
Buildings  $23,626,924   $29,285,262

Accumulated depreciation   (5,460,526)   (6,274,384)
Carrying amount  $38,908,503   $44,464,272 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2019, the Company incurred depreciation expense of $532,213 and $674,847, respectively

 

The Company has not yet obtained the property ownership certificates of the buildings in its Dalian manufacturing facilities with a carrying amount of $21,749,144 and $27,199,506 as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, 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, 2018 and 2019.
