Property, Plant and Equipment

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had property, plant and equipment, net totaling $6,450,947. 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, but are not limited to, 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 $75,143 and $52,208 is primarily included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment of $189,114 and $153,129 is primarily included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
