NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

 

eMarine Global Inc. is a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) formed under the name of Web Views Corporation on November 2, 2001. On October 20, 2008, the Company changed its name to Pollex, Inc. (“Pollex”)

 

On July 25, 2017, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with e-Marine Co., Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea (“e-Marine”), and the shareholders of e-Marine (the “e-Marine Shareholders”), pursuant to which the e-Marine Shareholders assigned, transferred and delivered, free and clear of all liens, 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of e-Marine, representing 100% of the equity interest in e-Marine (the “e-Marine Shares”) in exchange for 14,975,000 restricted shares of its common stock (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, e-Marine became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and the e-Marine Shareholders acquired a controlling interest in the Company.

 

For accounting purposes, the Share Exchange was treated as an acquisition of Pollex and a recapitalization of the Company. The Company is the accounting acquirer, and the results of its operations carryover. Accordingly, the operations of Pollex are not carried over and have been adjusted to ₩0. The assets and liabilities of the Company have been brought forward at its book value and no goodwill has been recognized as a result of the transaction.

 

At the time of the Share Exchange, the Company was engaged in the online games business by acquiring gaming licenses in order to make them commercially available abroad. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company assumed e-Marine’s business operations as its own. The acquisition of e-Marine is treated as a reverse acquisition, and the business of e-Marine became the business of the Company.

 

As part of the recapitalization, the Pollex Shareholders assigned, transferred and delivered, free and clear of all liens, 1,012,233 of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Pollex, in exchange for 1,026,317 restricted shares of its common stock.

 

e-Marine Co., Ltd. was organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea on January 2, 2001, and is a maritime information and communications technology provider based in South Korea. e-Marine seeks to achieve safety of life at sea through the use of various technologies, such as e-Navigation, Maritime Internet-of-Things (otherwise known as “I.o.T.”) and marine big data technology (collectively, “Maritime ICT Convergence”). e-Marine’s main products and services are divided into four categories: (1) Electronic Chart Display & Information System (“ECDIS”); (2) Smart Ship; (3) Overseas Solutions Distributions; and (4) Aids to Navigation.

 

On August 15, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which it merged with and into a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger Sub” and, the transaction, the “Merger”).

 

As permitted by Chapter 92A.180 of Nevada Revised Statutes, the purpose of the Merger was to effect a change of the Company’s name from Pollex, Inc. to eMARINE Global Inc. Upon the filing of articles of merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada on August 15, 2017 in order to effect the Merger, the Company’s articles of incorporation were deemed amended to reflect the change in the Company’s corporate name. Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased.

 

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY FINANCIAL CONDITION AND MANAGEMENT PLANS

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had cash of ₩374,680 thousand. Historically, the Company had net losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company continues to experience liquidity constraints due to the continuing losses. These factors contributed to the Company’s substantial doubt of its ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, management has addressed going concern remediation through funding through the private placement and is continuing initiatives to raise capital to meet future working capital requirements. However, additional capital is required to reduce the risk of going concern uncertainties for the Company beyond the next twelve months as of the reporting date. There is no certainty that the Company will be able to arrange sufficient funding to continue its operations.

 

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of such interim results.

 

The results for the condensed consolidated statement of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2018 has been derived from unaudited financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed on April 17, 2018.

 

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2018.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Earnings (loss) per share are calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260 “Earnings Per Share,” which provides for the calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options. The following securities were not included in the diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect was anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

 

   September 30, 2018   September 30, 2017 
Common stock warrants   12,916,688    - 
Potential dilutive shares   12,916,688    - 

 

These shares were excluded due to their antidilutive effect.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU will increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required, as well as a retrospective recognition and measurement of impacted leases. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s operations, financial position, cash flows and disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Subsequently, FASB issued ASUs in 2016 containing implementation guidance related to ASU 2014-09, including: ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) , which is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations; ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing , which is intended to clarify two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance; and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients , which contains certain provision and practical expedients in response to identified implementation issues. The Company has adopted ASU 2014-09 and related ASUs on January 1, 2018. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt these ASUs. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, using the full retrospective method, which requires reporting entities to apply the standard as of the earliest period presented in their financial statements. The Company completed its review of its material revenue streams and determined that the adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates Step 2 along with amending other parts of the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value with the loss not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. At adoption, this update will require a prospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s operations, financial position, cash flows and disclosures.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

In connection with the issuance of these warrants, the Company charged approximately ₩620,994 thousand of professional fees to expense.

 

The fair value of stock warrants was determined at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (the “Black-Scholes model”) The Black-Scholes model requires management to make various estimates and assumptions, including expected term, expected volatility, risk-free rate, and dividend yield. The expected term represents the period of time that stock-based compensation awards granted are expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on considerations including the vesting period, contractual term and anticipated employee exercise patterns. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in relation to the contractual life of stock-based compensation instrument. The dividend yield assumption is based on historical patterns and future expectations for the Company dividends.

 

The following table includes the estimates and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model:

 

Stock price  $0.57 
Exercise price  $0.08 
Contractual term (Years)   3

NOTE 16 — REVENUE CLASSES

 

Revenue from the sale of products and services is recorded when the performance obligation is fulfilled, usually at the time of shipment or when the service is provided, at the net sales price (transaction price). The Company elected to present revenue net of value added tax and other similar taxes and account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs rather than separate performance obligations.

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the following five-step model:

 

  identify arrangements with customers;
  identify performance obligations;
  determine transaction price;
  allocate transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the arrangement, if more than one exists; and
  recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Accounting Policy

 

Revenue for sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of the goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing involvement with goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.

 

Revenue from services is recognized by reference to the stage of performance of the services when the Company can reliably measure the amount of revenue and the recovery of the consideration is considered probable

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements made by us. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, including statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, beliefs, business strategies, future events, business conditions, results of operations, financial position, business outlook, business trends, and other information, may be forward-looking statements. Words such as “might,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “estimates,” “expects,” “continues,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “future,” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon our current expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections, and various assumptions, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control.

References to “eMarine,” “EMRN,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” and other similar designations refer to eMarine Global Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, e-Marine Co, Ltd. (“e-Marine”).

 

Company Overview

 

eMarine Global Inc. is a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) formed under the name “Web Views Corporation” on November 2, 2001. On October 20, 2008, we changed our name to “Pollex, Inc.”

 

On July 25, 2017, we entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with e-Marine Co., Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea (“e-Marine”), and the shareholders of e-Marine (the “e-Marine Shareholders”), pursuant to which the e-Marine Shareholders assigned, transferred and delivered, free and clear of all liens, 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of e-Marine, representing 100% of the equity interest in e-Marine (the “e-Marine Shares”) to us in exchange for 14,975,000 restricted shares of our Common Stock (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, e-Marine became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and the e-Marine Shareholders acquired a controlling interest in the Company.

At the time of the Share Exchange, the Company was engaged in the online games business by acquiring gaming licenses in order to make them commercially available abroad. As a result of the Share Exchange, we have now assumed e-Marine’s business operations as our own. The acquisition of e-Marine is treated as a reverse acquisition, and the business of e-Marine became the business of the Company.

 

e-Marine Co., Ltd. was organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea on January 2, 2001, and is a maritime information and communications technology provider based in South Korea. e-Marine seeks to achieve safety of life at sea through the use of various technologies, such as e-Navigation, Maritime Internet-of-Things (otherwise known as “I.o.T.”) and marine big data technology (collectively, “Maritime ICT Convergence”). e-Marine’s main products and services are divided into four categories: (i) Electronic Chart Display & Information System (“ECDIS”); (ii) Smart Ship; (iii) Overseas Solutions Distributions; and (iv) Aids to Navigation.

 

On August 15, 2017, we entered into an agreement and plan of (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which we merged with and into our newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger Sub” and, the transaction, the “Merger”).

 

As permitted by Chapter 92A.180 of Nevada Revised Statutes, the purpose of the Merger was to effect a change of the Company’s name from “Pollex, Inc.” to “eMARINE Global Inc.” Upon the filing of articles of merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada on August 15, 2017 in order to effect the Merger, the Company’s articles of incorporation were deemed amended to reflect the change in the Company’s corporate name. Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased.

 

Our principal execute offices are located at 4th Floor, 15-14, Samsan-ro 308beon-gil, Nam-gu, Ulsan, 44715 South Korea.

 

Overview of Business

 

We are a leading provider of information and communications technology for the maritime industry. We provide solutions for the collection, integration and display of maritime information abroad and ashore by electronic means to enhance berth-to-berth navigation and related services. We believe that these solutions provide the most efficient means to secure the safety of life at sea and to protect the marine environment. We offer all of our products and services through subscription, installation, updates and/or maintenance contracts.

 

Our Products & Solutions

 

We offer onboard and onshore products and solutions to customers operating within the maritime and shipbuilding industries through our two business divisions: (i) our maritime information and communications technology (“Maritime ICT”) division and (ii) our shipbuilding information and communications (“Shipbuilding ICT”) division.

 

We focus our business on four main hardware and software products: (i) Electronic Chart Display & Information System (“ECDIS”); (ii) Smart Ship solutions; (iii) distribution of overseas solutions; and (iv) Aids to Navigation (“AtoN”) systems.

 

Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems

 

We offer e-Navigator, our branded electronic chart display and information system, or ECDIS, which is a computer-based navigation system that complies with International Maritime Organization (“IMO”) regulations and can be used as an alternative to paper navigation charters. Integrating a variety of real-time information, it is an automated decision aid capable of continuously determining a vessel’s position in related to land, charted objects, navigation aids and unseen hazards, which is key in helping operators monitor and plan routes. An ECDIS includes electronic navigation charts (“ENC”), which we also offer, and integrates position information from the global positioning system (“GPS”) and other navigational sensors, such as radar, fathometer and automatic identification systems. It can also provide additional navigation-related information, such as sailing directions. Only the hardware is regulated by the IMO, while the software is subject to patents. We have obtained ECDIS software and South Korean patents for ECDIS technology.

Smart Ship Solutions

 

Our Smart Ship technology is the result of our partnership with Hyundai Heavy Industries (“HHI”) and much of it has been implemented on HHI’s newly-built ships. These systems use the marine I.o.T. and big data technologies to provide solutions such as the Intra-Ship Integrated Gateway (“ISIG”), an intra-ship network that promotes greater communication amongst a fleet while at sea; the Collision Avoidance and Optimal Voyage Systems, both dedicated to helping mariners determine the best routes and avoid incidents at sea; and the Remote Maintenance and Engine Monitoring Systems, which similarly promote crews’ safety by ensuring that vessels are kept in shipshape condition. Through the further development of our Smart Ship solutions, we believe will make greater in-roads into the autonomous ship and unmanned ship markets.

 

Smart Ship solutions are navigation oriented hardware and software that are developed by utilizing maritime I.o.T and big data technology. We develop Smart Ship technology under the partnership with HHI. This partnership has resulted in the development of a number of Smart Ship solutions that we supplied to HHI’s newly-built ships. By applying marine I.o.T. and big data technologies, we believe we will continue to expand the development of Smart Ship solutions, by gradually entering the autonomous ship and unmanned ship market.

 

Overseas Solutions Distribution

 

We have agreements with a number of maritime products manufacturers. We have an exclusive agreement with Teledyne Technologies International Corp for the distribution of CARIS, maritime GIS software. We distribute digital charts from C-Map, The United Kingdom Hydrographic Office and the Korea Hydrography and Research Association. In 2017, we began providing services related to a maritime-training simulator for the Republic of Korea Navy in cooperation with ECA-Sindel. We also are the exclusive distributor of Hatteland’s maritime-specialized hardware.

 

Aids to Navigation

 

We implement AtoN management systems for public maritime agencies. AtoN systems include sensors that are attached to navigational aids at sea and management software installed at the ground control level for information collection, display and analysis. Our AtoN System consists of the (i) Maritime Weather Signals Total Management System and the (ii) e-A2N device.

 

The Maritime Weather Signals Total Management System is a technology that collects weather information that is then transmitted to all major ports and maritime offices for public and civic use. It collects weather signals in various formats, including AIS, CDMA and TRS, and then simultaneously displays such information as tidal height, wind directivity, wind speed and sea temperature. We have implemented over a dozen maritime information systems in major port cities such as Busan, Incheon and Ulsan. In 2017, we implemented our Total Management System, which compiles all maritime weather information and delivers it through one central center, at the National Maritime Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Office. We believe that once the IMO begins its e-Navigation initiative, the Total AtoN Management System will be a part of the Total Maritime Traffic System.

 

Our e-A2N device detects technical malfunctions and sends real-time data such as battery status and weather conditions to ground control, bringing attention to ship components in need of maintenance. We believe that our e-A2N device results in cost reduction and unnecessary manpower while also benefiting users, such as crew members, passengers, pilots and seaferers, by providing access to weather information via port dashboards and smart applications. To date, we have installed e-A2N devices in over 4,000 navigational aids throughout Korea.

 

Key Factors of Our Business Model

 

We cover every aspect of the ENC technology within our e-Navigator from manufacturing, modification, personalization, distribution and maintenance. We offer our customers our e-Navigator ECDIS and ENC separately or as a package, which we believe provides us with a cost competitive edge, as well as seamless integration and on-going maintenance.

We have developed our e-Navigator and our ECN products in an effort to offer our customers what we believe to be the best product possible in the market. Currently, we hold approximately 90% of the market of private ships through our government contracts with the Republic of Korea (“R.O.K”) Navy and Coast Guard, and we hold approximately 60% of the public sector market share. The rest of the market is held by other domestic and foreign competitors, including Japan Radio Co., Ltd., Furuno Electric Co., Ltd. and Martin Electric Co., Ltd. We have been the market leader of ECDIS in Korea, consistently supplying and operating maintenance service for the Republic of Korea Navy, the Coast Guard and other public and commercial ships. We continuously provide ECDIS maintenance services to an average of 200 navy vessels annually, with contracts renewed every one to two years

 

In September 2017, we won a contract from the R.O.K. Navy to provide maintenance services to navy ships through fiscal year 2018. This marks the 8th consecutive year in which we have won such contracts.

 

We are a Smart Ship solutions development partner of Hyundai Heavy Industries. We supply ISIG, Optimal Navigation System and Engine Status Monitoring System to Hyundai Heavy Industries and anticipate supplying subsequent Smart Ship products to Hyundai Heavy Industries and other shipbuilders in South Korea such as Hanjin Heavy Industries and Samsung Heavy Industries.

 

Recent Developments

 

On September 4, 2018, we won a renewal of our contract with the R.O.K. Navy to provide ECDIS maintenance services to navy ships through the end of February 2020. The total contract is valued at ₩1,569,000,000, payable as follows: (i) ₩ 328,000,000 in 2018; (ii) ₩ 996,229,950 in 2019; and (iii) ₩244,770,050 in 2020.

 

Limited Operating History

 

We are in the early stages of development and have a limited operating history. We have a history of operating losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability and positive cash flow. We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our operating strategies. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business to the point of having to cease operations and could impair the value of our common stock to the point investors may lose their entire investment. Even if we accomplish these objectives, we may not generate positive cash flows or the profits we anticipate in the future. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations.

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, and accompanying notes, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2018.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had ₩374,680 thousand of cash on hand as compared to ₩109,316 thousand as of December 31, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company reported loss from operations of ₩610,502 thousand and net cash used in operating activities of ₩234,760 thousand. The Company continues to experience liquidity constraints due to the continuing losses. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During 2018, management addressed going concern remediation by conducting a private placement offering to fund operations, and is continuing initiatives to raise capital to meet future working capital requirements. However, additional capital is required to reduce the Company’s risk of going concern uncertainties beyond the next twelve months as of November 14, 2018. There is no certainty that the Company will be able to arrange sufficient funding to continue its operations.

 

Operating Cash Flows. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was ₩234,760 thousand, which was due to the net loss of ₩728,437 thousand, the increase in operating assets of ₩77,378, and payments of pension benefits of ₩35,048 offset by the adjustment of noncash items of ₩258,820 thousand to the net loss and increase in operating liabilities of ₩312,235 thousand.

 

Investing Cash Flows. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was ₩432,276 thousand, which was due to the net decrease in loans to related parties of ₩163,276 thousand and proceeds from disposals of short-term financial instruments of ₩269,000 thousand.

 

Financing Cash Flows. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was ₩78,480 thousand, which was due the proceeds from private placement of ₩557,336 thousand, the increase in long-term debt of ₩100,000 and the net increase in loans from related parties of ₩37,081 thousand offset by the net decrease in short-term borrowings of ₩302,337, repayment of current portion of long-term debt of ₩313,600 thousand.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

7
 

 

Contingencies

 

From time to time the Company may be named in claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We record a provision for a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and that the amount can be reasonably estimated. If we determine that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, we disclose the possible loss in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount of loss. Such matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

 

See Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I, and “Legal Proceedings” contained in Part II, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding contingencies.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU will increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required, as well as a retrospective recognition and measurement of impacted leases. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s operations, financial position, cash flows and disclosures.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Subsequently, FASB issued ASUs in 2016 containing implementation guidance related to ASU 2014-09, including: ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) , which is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations; ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing , which is intended to clarify two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance; and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which contains certain provision and practical expedients in response to identified implementation issues. The Company has adopted ASU 2014-09 and related ASUs on January 1, 2018. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt these ASUs. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, using the full retrospective method, which requires reporting entities to apply the standard as of the earliest period presented in their financial statements. The Company completed its review of its material revenue streams and determined that the adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates Step 2 along with amending other parts of the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value with the loss not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. At adoption, this update will require a prospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s operations, financial position, cash flows and disclosures.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. These estimates form the basis for judgments we make about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities, which are not readily apparent from other sources. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of such interim results.

 

The results for the condensed consolidated statement of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2018 has been derived from unaudited financial statements; however, it does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed on April 17, 2018.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2018. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Our management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on these criteria.

 

Turner Stone & Company, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, was not required to issue an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On January 18, 2018, the Company commenced a lawsuit in the district court in the Republic of Korea against a customer, Shinwoo E&D., Ltd. (“Shinwoo”), to recover an unpaid balance of ₩ 84,095,000 which was due during fiscal year 2017. The district court ruled in favor of the Company. On February 1, 2018, Shinwoo filed an appeal against the district court’s decision. The Company believes it is probable that it will prevail and that it will not suffer an adverse outcome related to the case. The Company has not recorded any reserve related to this dispute as of September 30, 2018.

 

In addition, from time to time we may be involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. In the ordinary course of business, we may be a party to inquiries, legal proceedings and claims including, from time to time, disagreements with vendors and customers. Currently, no legal proceedings, government actions, administrative actions, investigations or claims are pending against the Company or involve the Company that, in the opinion of management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business and financial condition except for the Shinwoo matter described herein.
