COLORSTARS GROUP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Note 1 – Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

 

Nature of Business – Circletronics Inc., now ColorStars Group (“the Company”), was incorporated in Canada on January 21, 2005. Circletronics Inc., was redomiciled to Nevada and its name changed to ColorStars Group on November 3, 2005. ColorStars Group owns 100% of the shares of ColorStars Inc. The directors for the Company are Wei-Rur Chen, Hsiu-Fu Liu, and Mei-Ying Chiu.

 

Color Stars Inc. (Color Stars TW) was incorporated as a limited liability company in Taiwan, Republic of China in April 2003 and commenced its operations in May 2003. The Subsidiary is mainly engaged in manufacturing, designing and selling light-emitting diode and lighting equipment.

 

In February 2006, the Company, a non-operating company, entered into a share exchange agreement with Color Stars TW. The Company issued 30,000,000 shares at par value of $0.001 per share in exchange for all the outstanding shares of Color Stars TW.  The share exchange between the Company and Color Stars TW was accounted for as the exchange of equity interests between the entities under common control and has been accounted for as a reverse merger.

 

On July 5, 2010, the Company sold 30.4% equity interest in Fin-Core Corporation (FCC) to third party at consideration of NTD13,680,000 (equivalent to USD424,000).  After disposal, equity interest of the Company in FCC decreased from 50.4% to 20%.  The company ceased to have a controlling financial interest in FCC, the Company deconsolidated the FCC as of the date on which its control ceased.  The Company accounted for the deconsolidation by recognizing, in net income, a gain attributable to the Company.

 

Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements and footnotes are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations although the management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These quarterly consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2009. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the period presented have been included in the interim period. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. The consolidated financial data as of December 31, 2009 is derived from audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As permitted under U.S. GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year forecasts. Such amounts are expensed in full in the year incurred. For interim financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded based upon estimated annual effective income tax rates.

 

Certain prior year’s balances have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

 

Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (ASU 2010-22), Accounting for Various Topics - Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs - An announcement made by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This Accounting Standards Update amends various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of SAB 112, which amends or rescinds portions of  certain SAB topics. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-22 to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

 

In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-21, Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-21 to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-09, Subsequent Events: Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (amendments to ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events). ASU 2010-09 clarifies that subsequent events should be evaluated through the date the financial statements are issued. In addition, ASU 2010-09 no longer requires a filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and is effective for financial statements issued subsequent to February 24, 2010. The provisions of ASU 2010-09 were adopted during the first quarter of 2010 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Note 3 – Functional Currencies, Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Functional Currencies and Foreign Currency Translation – The functional currency for most of the Company’s international operations is the U.S. dollar, the financial statements of the company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations whose functional currencies are not in U.S. dollars are translated at the period-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates during the fiscal year. The cumulative translation effects are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss) – U.S. GAAP generally requires that recognized revenues, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities are reported as separate components of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income or loss. As of September 30, 2010, the components of comprehensive income or loss include net income (loss) only.

Overview

ColorStars Group (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”) was initially incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada on January 21, 2005.  On November 3, 2005, we converted to a Nevada corporation.  We are a vertically integrated lighting company that develops light emitting diodes (“LED”) based lighting products for general consumer applications as well as LED lighting products for professional lighting installations. Our LED lighting application development activity ranges from LED packaging to optical lens and heat management, from retrofit LED lamps and bulbs to lighting fixtures designed for general and special lighting applications.

On July 24, 2005, we entered into an acquisition agreement with ColorStars, Inc., a Taiwanese corporation (“ColorStars Taiwan”), pursuant to which, on February 14, 2006, the shareholders of ColorStars Taiwan were issued shares of our Company in exchange for their shares of ColorStars Taiwan.  This resulted in ColorStars Taiwan becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Specifically, for each share of common stock outstanding of ColorStars Taiwan (1,500,000 shares of ColorStars Taiwan were issued and outstanding at such time), 20 shares of our common stock were issued in exchange for each such share (the aggregate of 30,000,000 shares of our common stock).

On March 20, 2009, ColorStars Taiwan acquired 50.40% of the outstanding common shares of Fin-Core Corporation, a Taiwanese corporation (“Fin-Core”) for a cash consideration of US $468,262.00.  This resulted in Fin-Core becoming a subsidiary of us. The purchase price for the common shares of Fin-Core was determined through private, arm’s length negotiations between the parties and was not based upon any specific criteria of value. Fin-Core is principally engaged in the design and manufacturing of thermal management devices, the design and manufacturing of electrical and lighting devices and trade, and the import and export of electrical and lighting devices.

On August 5, 2009, ColorStars Taiwan acquired a 51% equity interest in Jun Yee Industrial Co., Ltd., a Taiwanese corporation (“Jun Yee”) for a cash consideration of US $536,000.00.  The purchase price for the equity interest in Jun Yee was determined through private, arm’s length negotiations between the parties and was not based upon any specific criteria of value.  Upon acquiring the equity interest, Jun Yee became a subsidiary of ours.  The principal activity of Jun Yee is the manufacturing of LED light.

On July 7, 2010, ColorStars Taiwan sold 30.4% of its common shares of Fin-Core to Meiloon Industrial Co., Ltd., a publicly traded company on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, for a cash offering of US $427,500.00.  As a result of this transaction, ColorStars Taiwan now owns only 20% of the outstanding common shares of Fin-Core.

                Net Income (loss).  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we incurred a net gain of $166,286 as compared to a net gain of $71,173 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The increase in net income was a result of the sale of 30.4% of our common shares of Fin-Core to Meiloon Industrial Co., Ltd.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our revenues are primarily derived from sales of our LED devices and systems. Although our financial results are mainly dependent on sales, general and administrative, compensation and other operating expenses, our financial results have also been dependent on the level of market adoption of LED technology as well as general economic conditions.

Lighting products remained relatively static for 50 years until recently, when lighting became one of the last major markets to be transformed substantially by new technology. Because LED technology remains an emerging and expensive technology that has only recently become more economically viable, market adoption has been slow. Given the current economic downturn, liquidity has been constrained forcing institutions and individuals to substantially reduce capital spending to focus only on critical path expenditures. LED lighting products have been a discretionary rather than mandatory investment, and as a result, sales of our devices and systems have been negatively impacted. We believe that as the global economy grows and provides institutions and individuals with greater liquidity, sales of our devices and systems will increase.

Increased market awareness of the benefits of LED lighting, increasing energy prices and the social movement influencing individuals and institutions towards greater investment in energy-efficient products and services will have, we believe, an increasingly positive impact on our sales in the future. Additionally, we intend to utilize our strategic partnerships to help us reduce the component and production costs of our devices and systems in order to offer them at competitive prices. Further, we believe our ability to provide attractive financing options to our clients with respect to the purchase of our devices and systems will positively affect our sales. Similar to many manufacturing companies, we expect to benefit from economies of scale, meaning that as unit sales increase, our cost of production per unit should decrease, which would positively impact our financial results. Our financial results for recent periods, however, do not support this contention. We believe that this contention is not supported because of our recent acquisitions of Fin-Core and Jun Yee.  Fin-Core and Jun Yee, as manufacturing factories, have lower gross margins. As a result, these lower gross margins cause the overall gross margin from the previous period to decrease.  Also, Jun Yee relocated their manufacturing factory in February of 2010, and during the relocation, the factory was completely shut down for an entire week.  As a consequence, this relocation increased the operating costs of Jun Yee and further decreased the overall consolidated gross margin.

We plan on spending $200,000.00 for capital expenditures in 2010 for the purchase and setup of the equipment used for the electric and photometric measurement for solid-state-lighting devices.  This equipment includes the integrating sphere, chroma-meters, and software.

Net cash (used in) operating activities.  During the three months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in operating activities was $(172,987) compared with $(25,123) for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily the result of changes in inventory.  The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily the result of changes in inventory, accounts payable, and accounts receivable.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, net cash provided by investing activities was $32,349 compared with $(658,082) used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was a result of less investment in 2010, and the sale of 30.4% of Fin-Core equity.

 


 

 

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in financing activities was ($5) compared with $115,336 provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2009.  This decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was a result of less bank loans during the reporting period.

Net cash (used in) operating activities.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in operating activities was $(496,867) compared with $(319,014) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The cash flow used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily the result of inventory changes, net profit, and investment disposal loss of 30.4% of the Fin-Core equity.  The cash flow used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily the result of inventory changes offset by account receivable changes.

Net cash (used in) investing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in investing activities decreased to $(141,161) compared with $(1,419,122) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was a result of less acquisition and investment activities in 2010 and the gain of $170,327 from the sale of 30.4% of Fin-Core equity.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in financing activities was $(18,824) compared with $1,118,420 provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  This decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was a result of less bank loans during the reporting period.

We currently anticipate that our available cash in hand and cash resources from expected revenues will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.

We currently have outstanding short-term loans with Hua Nan Commercial Bank of Taiwan. We entered into three written, short-term loan agreements with this bank on August 25, 2009, June 24, 2010, and January 29, 2010, respectively.  The terms of the loan agreements are described in further detail in the chart below:

We did not enter into a written loan agreement with Mr. Min-Jun Dong, and we will pay back the principal amount on this loan to Mr. Min-Jun Dong before the end of the term or when our cash flow permits.

 


 

 

Our continued existence is dependent upon several factors, including increased sales volumes, collection of existing receivables and the ability to achieve profitability from the sale of our products. In order to increase our cash flow, we are continuing our efforts to stimulate sales.

Inflation

                At this time, we do not believe that inflation and changes in price will have a material effect on operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

                We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
