This excerpt taken from the COGO 10-K filed Mar 31, 2005. Research and development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs of the employees engaged in research, design and development activities; the costs for design and testing; the cost of parts for prototypes; equipment depreciation; and third party development expenses. We expense research and development expenses as they are incurred. As of December 31, 2004, we had 25 engineers and other technical employees engaged in research and development related activities to develop new module solutions targeted at the mobile handset, telecom equipment and consumer electronics industries. Research and development expenses were significantly higher in 2004 than they were in 2003 and we expect that our research and development expenses, including those relating to the planned hiring of additional research and development personnel, will increase in the future as we seek to expand our business by developing new solutions, offering new module solutions lines and penetrating new industries within the consumer electronics end-market.
