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”, “the Subsidiary”) was incorporated as a limited liability company in Taiwan, Republic of China in April 2003 and commenced its operations in May 2003. The Company through its wholly owned Subsidiary is mainly engaged in manufacturing, designing and selling light-emitting diode and lighting equipment. As the LED lighting business has become very competitive, during 2017 the Company began planning for a transformation into a holding company to seek investment opportunities in other business lines.

 

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited consolidated 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 statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2017. The balance sheet at December 31, 2016 included herein was derived from the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of that date. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 6, 2018. Some reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current-period presentation, although no net effect on the previously-reported financial information

 

Basis of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Note 2 - Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has negative working capital of $767,467 and an accumulated deficit of $4,113,539 as of March 31, 2017, and it reported net losses for past two years. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company need to raise additional capital from external sources or from shareholder loans to support it operation. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain fund with acceptable terms.

Note 3 - Concentration of Risk

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, products sold to largest customers accounted for approximately 31% of total revenue. Products purchased from two suppliers accounted for approximately 66% and 28% of the total purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, products sold to largest customers accounted for approximately 64% of total revenue. Products purchased from two suppliers accounted for approximately 28% and 12% of the total purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Note 4 - Long Term Investments

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820, which require us to determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using a specified fair-value hierarchy. The objective of the fair-value measurement of our financial instruments is to reflect the hypothetical amounts at which we could sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:

 

Level 1 value is based on observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 value is based on inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 values are driven by models with one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers that are unobservable.

 

Anteya Technology Corp (Anteya) is a private company incorporated in Taiwan.The equity interest held by the Company is 13.68% on March 31, 2017.

 

Anteya Technology ceased operations in April 2017 and, as a result, no future economic benefit was considered realizable by the Company and, as a result, the investment was fully impaired in the year ended December 31, 2015 resulting in a loss of $113,177.

 

Note 5- Inventory

 

Inventories stated at the lower of cost or market value are as follows:

 

   March 31, 2017   December 31, 2016 
         
Finished goods  $790,680   $741,781 
Allowance for Inventory Valuation and Obsolescence Losses   (790,680)   (741,781)
Total  $-   $- 

 

The Company decided to shift in operational focus and that it was determined remaining inventory had little-to-no value, thus fully impaired at December 31, 2015.

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. The Company intends to change its business model into a holding company due to environmental changes in 2018 adversely affecting the LED lighting market. The Company’s business model commencing in 2018 is to acquire various operating companies. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to acquire any operating companies.

 

(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.

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 $429,000. As a result of this transaction, ColorStars Taiwan owned only 20% of the outstanding common shares of Fin-Core.

 

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. 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 shares at par value of NTD10 per share. The Company was entitled to subscribe for up to 600,000 shares for NTD 6,000,000. 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.

 

On Dec. 20, 2012, Fin-Core Corporation decreased its total shares from 7,000,000 to 500,000. The Company’s invested cost and percentage of shareholding were unchanged after the share consolidation. The Company held 57,143 shares in Fin-Core after the consolidation.

 

On December 28, 2012, Fin-Core increased its total shares to 1,100,000 shares with a new capital injection. The Company decided to not participate in the new share subscription and kept its total shares at 57,143. As a result, on December 31, 2012, the Company’s equity interest in Fin-Core decreased to 5.19%. As a result of the consolidation and subsequent increase in outstanding shares, Fin-Core is no longer deemed our subsidiary.

 

In 2004, ColorStars, Inc. based in Taiwan acquired 20% of the outstanding common shares of Anteya Technology Corporation. Anteya provides the OEM service to us for the TRISTAR, EZSTAR, R4, LUXMAN, and HB series of product lines. On August 16, 2012, Anteya increased its share capital from 5,000,000 shares to 6,500,000 shares, and we subscribed for 300,000 additional shares at par value. The Company now holds a total of 1,300,000 shares in Anteya representing a total investment of NTD $27,304,000 (USD $910,492). The Company did not subscribe additional shares in Anteya when Anteya increased its outstanding shares from 6,500,000 shares to 9,500,000 shares. As a result, the Company’s equity position in Anteya decreased from 20% to 13.68% as of June 30, 2016.

 

On October 13, 2008 we acquired 2,800 shares in a German company, Phocos AG. On May 27, 2013, the Company sold its 2,800 shares of Phocos AG to MUUS Horizen Fund 1, LP for $30 EU per share ($84,000 EU in total). The Company has no remaining stake in Phocos AG.

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

 

Net Sales. Net sales decreased to $16,328 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, from $122,009 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in sales was due to global competition and lack of new products launching this period.

 

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold decreased to $12,562 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $82,051 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to the decrease in overall sales.

 

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased to $3,766 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $39,958 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to decrease in overall sales.

 

Gross Profit Percentage. Gross profit percentage decreased to 23.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from 32.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in gross profit percentage was primarily due to lower margin in the sales of old product lines from the inventory.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $36,308 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $72,815 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily related to closing the California sales office.

 

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development (R&D) expenses remained constant at $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The lack of research and development expenditure was due to overall lack of profitability.

 

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $2,057 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $8,481 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was mainly due to the decrease of asset values over time.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $5,090 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from $2,272 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in interest expense was due to increase in long term loan and loss from froeign exchange fluctuation.

 

Net Income (loss). For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we incurred a net loss of $(49,248) as compared to a net loss of $(2,220) for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The net loss was primarily a result of less revenue for the period along with the profit margin not being enough to cover the operating cost.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our historical revenues are primarily derived from the sale of LED devices and systems. Although our historical 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. As the LED lighting business has become very competitive, during 2017 the Company began planning for a transformation into a holding company to seek investment opportunities in other business lines.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash used in operating activities was ($66,175) compared with $(36,919) used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily the result of loss in operations. The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily the result of the Company’s increase in accounts payable payments and operating net loss.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash provided by financing activities was $60,958 compared with $30,000 provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
