We consider suspension semiflows of angle-multiplying maps on the circle and study the distributions of periods of their periodic orbits. Under generic conditions on the roof function, we give an asymptotic formula on the number $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}(T)$ of prime periodic orbits with period $\leq T$. The error term is bounded, at least, by
