Depreciation expenses in the aggregate for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately US$355,000 and US$385,000, respectively.

As discussed in Note 2, the Company exited its bank kiosk advertising business segment, which did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation. As a result, the Company reduced the carrying value of its bank kiosk equipment to zero, with a loss of approximately US$172,000 recorded and included in loss from continued operations for the year ended December 31, 2015, as the equipment was ceased to be used and its salvage value was immaterial.
