4. Property, Plant and Equipment

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had property, plant and equipment totaling $1,309,752. The Company assesses these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, including when negative conditions such as significant current or projected operating losses exist. Other factors considered by the Company when determining if an impairment assessment is necessary include significant changes or projected changes in supply and demand fundamentals (which would have a negative impact on operating rates or margins), new technological developments, new competitors with significant raw material or other cost advantages, adverse changes associated with the U.S. and world economies and uncertainties associated with governmental actions. Long-lived assets assessed for impairment are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.

Depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment of $30,387 and $27,493 is included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment of $60,559 and $54,800 is included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
