Buildings have been constructed on land, leased on a renewable basis, from various Government Authorities. The remaining lives of the leases range between three and 23 years. The Group has renewed these land leases, upon expiry, in the past and its present intention is to continue to use the land and renew these leases for the foreseeable future.

A depreciation expense of USD 14,982,000 (2010: USD 10,160,000) has been charged to cost of sales and USD 4,301,000 (2010: USD 3,534,000) to general and administrative expenses (Notes 6 and 10).
