(i) The Company planned to purchase land use rights in Dongguan City for expansion of operations in manufacturing and office building in 2010. Under the terms of the purchase agreement with Dongguan Fenggang Municipal Government (the “Local Government”), IST paid approximately $14.0 million (RMB 90.8 million) in total with the Local Government as security deposit for purchase of land use rights, which was refundable, if the Company was to terminate the agreement.

(“Dongyi”), in a consideration of approximately $10.4 million (RMB 72.2 million) with an installment payment plan which ran through December 31, 2019.
