The Company’s intangible assets are composed of the following as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

(33,742)

 

 

 

Intangible assets, net

$    86,356

$    88,325

 

Direct costs incurred in obtaining patents and technical rights are capitalized. These patents and rights are subject to amortization as their lives are statutorily limited in South Korea, typically over the period of twenty years. Accordingly, they are being amortized over the statutory lives. Management considered recoverability of the balances of these assets and determined that no adjustment was necessary as of March 31, 2015.

 

Amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014 were $1,511 and $6,316, respectively.
