General and administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs of salaries and other compensation-related expenses for executive management, finance, accounting, human resources, legal, compliance, and other administrative functions as well as professional services costs and other facility related costs.

Defined contribution plan

The full-time employees of the Company in certain countries are entitled to the government mandated defined contribution plan. The Company is required to accrue and pay for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ respective salaries, subject to certain ceilings, in accordance with the relevant countries’ government regulations, and make cash contributions to the government mandated defined contribution plan. Total expenses for the plans were US$346,850 and US$434,161 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Income taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the net tax effects of the differences between the Company’s consolidated financial statements carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the differences are expected to be reversed. A valuation allowance is used to reduce some or all of the deferred tax assets if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that those deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to its uncertain tax positions in its income tax provision in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
