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 six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 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

 

Income tax - In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU No. 2013-11 is a new accounting standard on the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The new standard provides that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit would be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. The new standard becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2014 and it should be applied prospectively to unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impacts of this new standard.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Note 3 - 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2013, such losses have been within management’s expectations.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, products sold to the Company’s largest customer, accounted for approximately 18.61%. Products purchased from the Company’s first two largest suppliers were accounted for approximately 82.99% of the total purchases.

 

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:

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.

 

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.

                                                                                      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.

 

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.

 

(c)          Material Transactions During the Reporting Period

 

On May 27, 2013, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement whereby the Company sold all of its shares of common stock of Phocos AG, a German corporation (“Phocos”), to MUUS Horizon Fund 1 LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“MHF1”).  Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, the Company sold its 2,800 shares of Phocos common stock to MHF1 at a price per share of €30.00 (USD $37.80) for a total purchase price of €84,000.00 (USD $105,840.00).

Net Sales.  Net  sales decreased to $479,484 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, from $700,935 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in sales was caused primarily by decreased demand from European and U.S. markets and increased competition in the global market.

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 recent 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.

The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily the result of net loss in operations.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities.  During the three months ended June 30, 2013, net cash provided by investing activities was $105,840 compared with $(4,581) used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  The cash flow provided by investing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily the result of proceeds from the sale of an investment.  The cash flow used in investing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily the result of acquiring fixed assets.
