* Land in China is owned by the government and land ownership rights cannot be sold to an individual or to a private company. However, the Chinese government grants the user a “land use right” to use the land. The land use rights granted to the Company are amortized using the straight-line method over a term of fifty years.

 

The Company’s subsidiary, Tongri Electric, has obtained the right to use two parcels of land for its factories from the Qingdao local government for 50 years. The land use rights are to expire in the years of 2055 and 2062. The acquisition costs of the land use rights were amortized with the building over 50 years. The use of land will be based on the specific requirement by the local government who has the right to direct how and for what purpose the land is used.

 

Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $10,269, $15,118 and $12,086, respectively.

 

The following table sets forth the Company’s amortization expense for the next five years ending as of December 31, 2024:
