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.

 

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.

 

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for a complete presentation of the financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in the accompanying financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

 

Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Balance Sheet – the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 in December 2011, Balance sheet – Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  The new requirements state that entities must disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the balance sheet, and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The scope of the requirements includes derivatives, sales and repurchases agreements, reverse sale and repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. The requirements are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.  The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 3 –Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained with high quality institutions, the compositions and maturities of which are regularly monitored by management. Through June 30, 2012, the Company had not experienced any losses on such deposits.

COLORSTARS GROUP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Note 3 –Concentration of Credit Risk (continued)

 

Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers primarily in the manufacturing industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary, but generally requires no collateral. The Company also maintains allowances for potential credit losses. In estimating the required allowances, the Company takes into consideration the overall quality and aging of the receivable portfolio, the existence of a limited amount of credit insurance and specifically identified customer risks. Through June 30, 2012, such losses have been within management’s expectations.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, products sold to the Company’s largest customer, accounted for approximately 16.26%. Products purchased from the Company’s top two largest suppliers accounted for approximately 36.10% of the total purchases

 

As of June 30, 2012, the largest three customers exceeded 50.20% of the total consolidated accounts receivable balance.

 

Note 4 – Earnings per share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods indicated:

Anteya Technology Corp is a private company incorporated in Taiwan.  The equity interest held by the Company is 20%.  Accordingly, the Company adopted the equity method of accounting with respect to the investment in Anteya.  There were 200,000 bonus shares issued in 2011 to the Company. The equity interest held by the Company remains unchanged.

 

On July 5, 2010, the Company’s board of directors approved the sale of 30.4% equity (or 456,000 shares) in Fin-Core Corporation (FCC) to a third party at the consideration of NTD13,680,000 (equivalent to USD429,000).  After the disposal, the equity interest of the Company in FCC decreased from 50.4% to 20%. 

 

On July 5, 2010, the Company’s board of directors approved the participation to subscribe in FCC's newly issued shares and maintain the overall equity interest of 20%.  The Company subscribed for 500,000 shares at a consideration of NTD10,000,000 (equivalent of USD 320,000).  The Company adopted the equity method of accounting to the investment in FCC.

 

In October 2011, the associated company, Fin-Core Corporation, decided to increase its capital by issuing 3,000,000 new shares at par value of NTD10 per share.  The Company was entitled to subscribe for up to 600,000 shares for NTD6,000,000.  However the Company chose not to participate in the subscription of any newly issued shares of Fin-Core.  As a result, on November 4, 2011 the Company’s equity interest in Fin-Core decreased to 11.43% from 20% after issuance of 3,000,000 new shares.  The Company recorded the investment in Fin-Core Corporation at cost on the date when the Company ceased to have significant influence over the investee.

 

Phocos AG is a private company incorporated in Germany.  The equity interest held by the Company is 2.38%.

               Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes”, “project”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “intends”, “strategy”, “plan”, “may”, “will”, “would”, “will be”, “will continue”, “will likely result”, and similar expressions.  We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and we are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.  Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.  Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles.  These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.  We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.

Overview

(a)          Business 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.

(b)          Significant Business Transactions Overview

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 50.4% of the outstanding common shares of Fin-Core Corporation, a Taiwanese corporation (“Fin-Core”) for a cash consideration of US $468,262.  This resulted in Fin-Core becoming a subsidiary of ours. The purchase price for the common shares of Fin-Core was determined through private 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 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 $434,000.  As a result of this transaction, ColorStars Taiwan now owns only 20% of the outstanding common shares of Fin-Core.                                                                          

15


 

            On August 10, 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.  The purchase price for the equity interest in Jun Yee was determined through private 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 November 26, 2010, ColorStars Taiwan entered into two related stock purchase agreements whereby ColorStars Taiwan sold all of its shares of Jun Yee common stock to Mr. Ming-Chun Tung and Ms. Ming-Fong Tung. Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement entered into with Mr. Ming-Chun Tung, ColorStars Taiwan sold 265,000 shares of its Jun Yee common stock to Mr. Ming-Chun Tung at a price per share of NTD $23 (USD $0.76) for a total purchase price of NTD $6,095,000 (USD $200,427).  Furthermore, pursuant to the stock purchase agreement entered into with Ms. Ming-Fong Tung, ColorStars Taiwan sold 500,000 shares of its Jun Yee common stock to Ms. Ming-Fong Tung at a price per share of NTD $23 (USD $0.76) for a total purchase price of NTD $11,500,000 (USD $378,165).  As a result of the transactions consummated above, Jun Yee is no longer our subsidiary.

In October 2011, Fin-Core decided to increase its capital by issuing 3,000,000 new common shares at par value of NTD $10 per share.  The Company was entitled to subscribe for up to 600,000 common shares for NTD $6,000,000.  However, the Company chose not to participate in the subscription of any newly issued common shares of Fin-Core.  As a result, on November 4, 2011, the Company’s equity interest in Fin-Core decreased to 11.43% from 20% after the issuance of 3,000,000 new common shares. 

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 to Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

               Net Sales.  Net  sales decreased to $700,935 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $1,081,444 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in sales was caused primarily by the world-wide economic down turn.

               Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold decreased to $472,310 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $843,976 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in cost of goods sold was due to a decrease in net sales.

               Gross Profit.  Gross profit decreased to $228,625 (32.62%) for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $237,468 (21.96%) for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in gross profit was due to a decrease in net sales.

Gross Profit Percentage.  Gross profit percentage increased to 32.62% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from 21.96% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in gross profit percentage was due to the strong US dollar currency against the New Taiwan dollar during the reporting period as well as lower costs for LED components.

               Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $306,211 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $269,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily related to increased expenses for trade shows in Europe and USA.

               Research and Development Expenses.  Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased to $26,330 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $52,552 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The decrease in R&D expenses is due to less product development and certification activities for the reporting period.

               Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization increased to $9,438 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $7,766 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as a result of an increase in fixed assets and patents.

                         16


 

               Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased to $2,710 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with $2,776 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in interest expense was due to a gain on foreign exchange translation.

               Net Income (Loss).  For the three months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred a net loss of $(84,482) as compared to a net loss of $(117,445) for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The net loss was primarily a result of a decrease in net sales.

Gross Profit Percentage.  Gross profit percentage increased to 33.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 26.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in gross profit percentage was due to a gain on foreign exchange translation and lower costs for LED components.

               Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $634,845 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $540,909 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily related to increased trade show expenses in Europe and USA.

               Research and Development Expenses.  Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased to $52,163 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $92,474 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The decrease in R&D expenses is due to less product development and certification activities.

               Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization increased to $20,880 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $12,216 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as a result of an increase in fixed assets and patents.

               Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased to $5,888 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared with $5,755 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in interest expense was due to an increase in interest rates.

               Net Income (Loss).  For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred a net loss of $(228,631) as compared to a net loss of $(142,768) for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The net loss was primarily a result of a decrease in net sales.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of 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.

17


 

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.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.  During the three months ended June 30, 2012, net cash  used in operating activities was $(94,248) compared with $(4,972) used in operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily the result of a net loss in operations. The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily the result of a net loss and recovery of account receivables.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, net cash used in investing activities was $(4,581) compared with $(30,870) used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The cash flow used in investing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily the result of new tooling for LED lamps. The cash flow used in investing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily the result of new tooling for LED lamps.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities was $0 compared with $0 provided by financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2011. 

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.  During the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was $(325,213) compared with $30,246 provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The cash flow used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily the result of a net operating loss and an increase in inventory. The cash flow provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily the result of an increase in advance payments from clients.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash used in investing activities was $(55,666) compared with $(59,607) used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The cash flow used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily the result of tooling for new products. The cash flow used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily the result of tooling for new products.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities was $0 compared with $0 provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

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 February 22, 2012, June 29, 2012, and July 30, 2012, respectively.  The terms of the loan agreements are described in further detail in the chart below:
