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 Subsidiary is mainly engaged in manufacturing, designing and selling light-emitting diode and lighting equipment.

 

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of ColorStars Group and Color Stars Inc. (“the Company”) 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, 2013 and 2012 have been included. 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, 2012. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2013.

 

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 - Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income - In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2013-02, which requires disclosure of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and their corresponding effect on the respective line items of net income. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 only impacted disclosure requirements and did not have any effect on the operating results or the financial condition.

Note 3 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Foreign Currency Matters – Effective December 15, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters. The parent entity is required to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets. A pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into net income upon a partial sale of such an equity method investment.

 

Note 4 - Concentration of 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 March 31, 2013, the Company had not experienced any losses on such deposits.

 

Accounts receivable include amounts due from customers primarily in the manufactory 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 March 31, 2013, such losses have been within management’s expectations.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, products sold to the Company’s largest customer, accounted for approximately 10.79%. Products purchased from the Company’s first two largest suppliers were accounted for approximately 81.41% of the total purchases.

 

Note 5 - 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:

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.

 

                                                                                      13

 


 

 

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 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. 

 

On Aug. 16, 2012, Anteya increased share capital from 5,000,000 shares to 6,500,000 shares. The Company subscribed the shares of 300,000 with nil value. The holding shares of the securities is 1,300,000 with invested cost NTD $27,304,000 (USD $910,492) and percentage of the stock of the investee is 20%. The percentage of shareholding is unchanged.

 

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 are unchanged after shares consolidation. The number of shares of Fin-Core held by the Company is 57,143 shares.  On December 28, 2012, Fin-Core increased its total shares to 1,100,000 shares with new capital injection.  The Company decided to not participate new share subscription and kept the total shares of 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 our subsidiary.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

 

Net Sales.  Net  sales decreased to $456,687 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $711,214 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in sales was caused primarily by a decrease in demand from European and U.S. markets and more competition in the global market.

 

Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold decreased to $283,725 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $482,603 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in cost of goods sold was due to a decrease in overall sales.

 

Gross Profit.  Gross profit decreased to $173,142 (37.91%) for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $228,611 (32.14%) for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in gross profit was due to a decrease in overall sales.

 

Gross Profit Percentage.  Gross profit percentage increased to 37.91% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from 32.14% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in gross profit percentage was due to higher profit margins from the sale of new product lines, including the R5 series.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $215,514 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $328,596 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily related to a decrease in trade shows and advertisement.

                                                                                      14

 


 

 

Research and Development Expenses.  Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased to $15,704 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $25,833 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The decrease in R&D expenses is due to completing the development and certification of the R5 and AMBY series of lamps in 2012

 

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization decreased to $11,303 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $11,442 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as a result of minimal changes in the depreciable assets of the Company over the periods.

 

Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased to $3,263 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared with $3,178 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in interest expense was due to higher interest rates on short-term loans.

 

Net Income (loss).  For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we incurred a net loss of $(136,490) as compared to a net loss of $(157,292) for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The net loss was primarily a result of decrease in overall 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.

 

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 March 31, 2013, net cash used in operating activities was $(71,212) compared with $(244,108) used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily the result of decrease in net loss, prepaid expenses, and accrued expenses, and increase in share of investment loss, inventory, and accounts payable.  The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily the result of increase of net loss and inventory, and decrease of accounts payable.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, investing activities of the Company was $Nil compared with $(51,085) used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The cash flow used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily the result of investment of tooling for new products and show room construction.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, net cash used in financing activities was $3,262 compared with $3,130 used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012The cash flow used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily the result of interest paid for bank loans. The cash flow used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily the result of interest paid for bank loans.


 

 

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 8, 2013, December 24, 2012, and January 29, 2013, respectively. The loans are secured by real property of Tsui-Ling Lee, spouse of Wei-Rur Chen, our president and CEO. The terms of the loan agreements are described in further detail in the chart below:
