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 Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity must consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating impairment may exist. ASU 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning December 15, 2010 (the first quarter of fiscal 2011 for the Company). The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys goodwill impairment evaluation as the Company does not currently have reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. ASU 2010-29 requires that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose only revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. This ASU also expands the disclosure requirements regarding supplemental pro forma adjustments to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010 (fiscal 2011 for the Company). The Company will provide the supplementary pro forma information in connection with any future business combinations.

Note 3 Comprehensive Income (Loss)
U.S. GAAP generally requires that recognized revenues, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income.

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) Recent Transactions.
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.
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.
13
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.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Net Sales. Net sales decreased to $954,862.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1,422,509.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in sales was due to the equity disposition of Jun Yee and Fin-Core, and as a result of their equity dispositions, the Company no longer including their revenues in its consolidated financial report.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold decreased to $655,563.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1,136,374.00, for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in cost of goods sold was due to a decrease of net sales.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased to $299,299.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $286,135.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in gross profit was due to an improved gross margin following the disposition of Jun Yee and Fin-Core. Gross margin percentage increased to 31.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 20.11% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in gross margin percentage was due to the equity disposition of Jun Yee and Fin-Core, which are factory based operations with a much lower gross margin percentage.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $271,537.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $442,139.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily related to the equity disposition of Jun Yee and Fin-Core.
Depreciation, Amortization, and Depletion. Depreciation, amortization, and depletion decreased to $5,394.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $30,965.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as a result of the equity disposition of Jun Yee and Fin-Core.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $2,978.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with $8,795.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in interest expense was due to the equity disposition of Jun Yee and Fin-Core.
Net Income (loss). For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we incurred a net loss of $45,611.00 as compared to a net loss of $90,675.00 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in net loss was a result of an increase in gross profit and less overhead expenses as a result of the disposition of Jun Yee and Fin-Core.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our revenues are primarily derived from sales of the LED devices and systems described above. 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.
14
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 prior investments in 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.
As described in further detail in the Recent Transactions section of Item 2, ColorStars Taiwan acquired controlling interests in Fin-Core and Jun Yee in 2009 and then disposed of these interests in July and November 2010, respectively.
ColorStars Taiwan initially acquired Fin-Core due to the fact that Fin-Core has a very effective and unique heat-sink design and patent for building certain LED lighting products for commercial applications. We believed that Fin-Cores ability to efficiently and effectively develop LED Lighting products using their unique heat sink design would help us to develop more world-wide sales channels in the commercial lighting segment for our LED products. However, by the end of June 2010, Fin-Core's financial situation had deteriorated as it had spent most of its capital in product development, certification, and production machinery. At that time, we were unable to provide additional funding to Fin-Core. As such, in order to provide more funding for the continuation and operation of Fin-Core, 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 $434,000.00. As a result of this transaction, ColorStars Taiwan now owns only 20% of the outstanding common shares of Fin-Core.
As Jun Yee is an expert in LED linear and panel lighting design and manufacturing, we initially acquired Jun Yee in order to expand our LED linear and panel lighting design product offering. However, after maintaining the controlling stake in Jun Yee for a year, we observed that Jun Yee had a high debt ratio, low current ratio, and no profit. As such, 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, as discussed in further detail in the Recent Transactions section of Item 2.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities was $36,647.00 compared with ($216,973.00) used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The cash flow provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily the result of a settlement of prepaid expenses and other current assets. The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily the result of a decrease of accounts payable.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash used in investing activities was ($28,737.00) compared with ($153,331.00) used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was a result of a decrease of intangible assets after the disposition of Jun Yee.
15
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash used in financing activities was $0.00 compared with ($54,200.00) used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease in net cash used in financing activities was a result of no additional proceeds or repayment from or to the stockholders or banks.
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:

(1) NTD $3,000,000 is approximately USD $102,027.
(2) NTD $6,000,000 is approximately USD $204,054.
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.
