Notes to Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 and 2015

(Unaudited)

 

 

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

Organization and Line of Business

 

Ho-Cheng Insurance Brokers Co., Ltd. (“Ho-Cheng” or the “Company”) was incorporated on December 6, 2001 in Taiwan. The Company is an insurance broker that sells, solicits, or negotiates life and property insurance in Taiwan.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The Company’s functional currency is the Taiwanese Dollar (“Taiwan $”); however, the accompanying financial statements were translated and presented in United States Dollars (“$” or “USD”).

 

The unaudited financial statements are prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, the results of its operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2016.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The accounts of the Company are maintained in the Taiwan $. The accounts of the Company are translated into USD with the Taiwan $ as the functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). The following table details the exchange rates used for the respective periods:

 

   September 30,   September 30, 
   2016   2015 
Period end: Taiwan $ to USD exchange rate  $31.417   $33.063 
Average for the period end: Taiwan $ to USD exchange rate  $32.412   $31.434 

 

The Company recognizes revenue from insurance carriers on a gross basis. The commission paid by the Company to its agents are recorded as cost of revenues.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentration, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Delinquent account balances are written-off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable and known bad debts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were no allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable.

 

Property and Equipment, net

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:

 

Description

 

Years

Office equipment   3-5 years
Lease improvements   3-5 years

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced to recognize the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, there was no significant impairment of its long-lived assets.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is from insurance agency and brokerage services. The Company sells insurance products to customers, and obtains commissions from the respective insurance carriers according to the terms of each insurance company service agreement. The Company recognizes revenue when the following have occurred: persuasive evidence of an agreement between the insurance company and insured exists, services were provided, the fee for such services is fixed or determinable and collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. Insurance agency services are considered complete, and revenue is recognized, when an insurance policy becomes effective.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has no uncertain tax position as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive securities are converted. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. There were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income

 

US GAAP generally requires recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain statements, however, require entities to report specific changes in assets and liabilities, such as gain or loss on foreign currency translation, as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. The functional currency of the Company is the Taiwan $. Translation gain (loss) of $7,231 and $(9,521) at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, are classified as an item of other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheets.

 

Statement of Cash Flows

 

Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rates. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

·Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

·Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

·Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology use one or more unobservable inputs which are significant to the FV measurement.

 

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied using one of two retrospective application methods, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in ASU No. 2016-02 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases (FAS 13). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its financial statements.

 

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
