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, 2010.

 

Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Fair Value Measurement - In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement Topic 820, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in US GAAP and IFRS (“ASU 2011-04”), which largely aligns fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between International Financial Reporting Standards and US GAAP. ASU 2011-04 mainly represents clarifications to ASC 820 as well as some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. ASU 2011-04 clarifies that (i) the highest and best use concept only applies to nonfinancial assets, (ii) an instrument classified in shareholders' equity should be measured from the perspective of a market participant holding that instrument as an asset, and (iii) quantitative disclosure is required for unobservable inputs used in Level 3 measurements. ASU 2011-04 changes the guidance in ASC 820 so that (i) the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities with similar risk exposures may be measured on the basis of the entity's net risk exposure, (ii) premiums or discounts may be applied in a fair value measurement under certain circumstances but blockage factor discounts are not permitted, and (iii) additional Level 3 disclosures are required, including a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements of adopting ASU 2011-04.

Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

 

Comprehensive Income - In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). Effective January 1, 2012, the Company will adopt the accounting standards update that amends the presentation requirements for comprehensive income and requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  Additionally, the update requires presentation of reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented regardless of whether an entity chooses to present total comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Note 3 –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).

Forward Looking Statements

                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)           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.

15


 

 

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 June 30, 2011 to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

                Net Sales.  Net  sales decreased to $1,081,444 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $1,886,549 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in sales was due to the disposition of Jun Yee, which was a subsidiary of the Company in the 4th quarter of 2010.

                Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold decreased to $843,976 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $1,315,462, for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in cost of goods sold was due to a decrease in net sales as a result of the disposition of Jun Yee in the 4th quarter of 2010.

                Gross Profit.  Gross profit decreased to $237,468 (22.0%) for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $571,087 (30.3%) for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in gross profit was due to a decrease of net sales.  The gross profit percentage decreased to 22.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 30.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease in gross profit percentage was due to the depreciation of the US Dollar to Taiwan Dollar currency.

                Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.   Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $269,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $562,855 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily related to the disposition of Jun Yee in the 4th quarter of 2010.

                Research and Development Expenses.  Research and development (R&D) expenses increased to $52,552 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $44,655 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in R&D expenses is due to more new product development activities and prototype and sample making.

                Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization decreased to $7,766 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $46,507 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as a result of the disposition of Jun Yee in the 4th quarter of 2010.

                Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased to $2,776 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with $12,615 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in interest expense was due to the disposition of Jun Yee in the 4th quarter of 2010.

                Net Income (loss).  For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we incurred a net loss of $(117,445) as compared to net income of $1,720 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in net loss was primarily a result of loss due to foreign exchange and increased cost for research and development.

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.

16


 

 

  

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-Core’s 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 June 30, 2011, net cash used in operating activities was $(4,972) compared with $35,676 provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily the result of net loss. The cash flow provided by operating activities in the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily the result of an increase of account payable.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, net cash used in investing activities was $(30,870) compared with $(149,344) used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was a result of the disposition of Jun Yee in the 4th quarter of 2010 coupled with a decreased investment in tooling and equipment.

17


 

 

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $0 compared with $35,381 provided by financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  This decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was a result of the disposition of Jun Yee in the 4th quarter of 2010 coupled with less bank loan activities.

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, 2011, June 24, 2011, and January 31, 2011, respectively.  The terms of the loan agreements are described in further detail in the chart below:

                Additionally, on July 20, 2011, our Chairman, Mr. Wei-Rur Chen, provided a personal loan to the Company in an amount equal to One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars (US $100,000).  The personal loan is unsecured, interest free and repayable on demand. We did not enter into a written loan agreement with Mr. Chen.

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.
