The depreciation expense in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, amounted to approximately $104 thousand and 24, respectively, whereas depreciation expense in the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, amounted to approximately $178 thousand and $41 thousand, respectively. The net increase in total Property, Plant & Equipment is primarily due to the set-up of product manufacturing, processing, and packaging facilities, in the U.S. subsidiaries. The net increase in land and accumulated depreciation is primarily due to foreign exchange translations because of a decline in value of foreign currencies. The construction in progress relates to the Washington facility under construction.
