STEMCELL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Stemcell Holdings, Inc., formerly known as Perfect Acquisition, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 31, 2015, with an objective to acquire, or merge with, an operating business. On March 23, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Takaaki Matsuoka, our current President, CEO and Director. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, on March 24, 2016, Takaaki Matsuoka transferred to the Company, 500 shares of the common stock of Stemcell Co., Ltd., a Japanese corporation (“Stemcell”), which represented all of its issued and outstanding shares, in return for cash consideration of JPY 5,000,000 ($44,476). Following the effective date of the share purchase transaction, Stemcell became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The Company, through Stemcell, concentrates on regenerative medicine-related business which includes but is not limited to the culturing, storing and delivery of stem cells, providing related technical assistance related thereto and other ancillary services to facilitate cell therapies.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three and nine month periods, have been made. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the full year. When used in these notes, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” mean the Company. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent year, as reported in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, have been omitted. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017, as reported by us in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2018.

 

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Stemcell Co., Ltd. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. 

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United states of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates and assumptions made by management include going concern and valuation allowance on deferred income tax. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from management's estimates and assumptions.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar (“US$”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. Stemcell maintains its books and records in its local currency, Japanese YEN (“JPY”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operation is conducted. In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within the statements of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. 

 

Translation of amounts from the local currency of Stemcell into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the nine months ended as September 30, 2018: 

 

	September 30, 2018
Current JPY: US$1 exchange rate	113.68
Average JPY: US$1 exchange rate	109.67

 

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

A related party is generally defined as (i) the Company’s management, (ii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iii) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. The Company conducts business with its related parties in the ordinary course of business.

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION 

 

The Company applies ASC 605 for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company provides the warranty for the delivery of its service. If the Company cannot deliver its service to customers successfully, the Company will retry its operation until the delivery is completed. The Company has four revenue streams as described below.

 

Stem Cell Culturing and Tissue Handling Technical Assistance Revenue

 

Stem cell culturing and tissue handling technical assistance revenue is recognized by providing technical assistance to customers for culturing stem cells or handling of tissues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the cells are cultured or tissues handled and have been delivered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured, there are no material contingencies and the Company does not have significant obligations for future performance. When collectability is not reasonably assured, the Company defers the revenue until the cash is received. Revenue is recorded net of any discounts given to the customer.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company derived all its stem cell culturing and tissue handling technical assistance revenue from Omotesando Helene Clinic (the “Helene Clinic”), which is fully owned by Takaaki Matsuoka. Pursuant to the agreement entered into by the two parties, once technical assistance is provided to the cells or tissues that were cultured or handled, no returns are allowed.

 

Coordination Service Revenue

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, all the coordination service was delivered to Helene Clinic. Pursuant to the service agreement entered into by the Company and Helene Clinic, the Company’s performance obligations under the coordination service include introducing patients to clinics, arranging schedules and any related translation thereof. Revenue is recognized when a series of abovementioned services are delivered and treatments for the patient are completed as identified by Helene Clinic.

 

Marketing and Other Services Revenue

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company provided internet marketing services by optimizing search engines for (i) eight third-party clinics and (ii) six health clinics, including Helene Clinic, that are fully-owned or managed by Takaaki Matsuoka. Since July 2017, the Company commenced outsourcing services to clinics, encompassing administration services including accounting, payroll, tax support, clinic non-medical operations, recruiting and HR planning, facilities and maintenance services, IT support and legal services enabling the clinics to concentrate more on medical activities.

 

Rental & Lease Revenue

 

The Company leased certain medical equipment and properties to medical clinics. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2018, rental revenue was derived from (i) four third-party clinics and (ii) six clinics, including Helene Clinic, which are fully-owned or managed by Takaaki Matsuoka. 

 

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company places its cash with financial institutions. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risks.

 

The Company receives lump-sum payments from individual patients for the services to be delivered by the Company and Helene Clinic as a whole. Historically, the Company deducted 10% of the total customer payments and remitted the remainder to Helene Clinic, after which the Company billed and received payments from Helene Clinic, which represents the Company’s coordination services fee, stem cell culturing and tissue handling technical assistance services. Since the beginning of 2017, the Company changed this business model to deduct the 10% of the total customer payments and the amount to be recognized as stem cell culturing and tissue handling technical assistance revenue prior to remitting the remainder to Helene Clinic. As of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company had accounts receivable from Helene Clinic of $221,767 and $42,350 respectively, and accounts payable to Helene Clinic of $400,725 and $278,593, respectively. Also see Note 3.

 

Net revenues from customers accounting for 10% or more of total revenues are as follows:

 

	Three months ended September 30, 2018		Three months ended September 30, 2017		Nine months ended September 30, 2018		Nine months ended September 30, 2017
	%		%		%		%
Omotesando Helene Clinic	76.2		80.8		73.8		84.8
Total	76.2		80.8		73.8		84.8

 

EFFECT OF RECENTLY ADOPTED AND ISSUED PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This amendment updates addressing revenue from contracts with customers, which clarifies existing accounting literature relating to how and when a company recognizes revenue. Under the standard, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. This standard update is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, and is to be applied retrospectively or the cumulative effect as of the date of adoption, with early application not permitted. Since the Company is an Emerging Growth Company and has made the election under Section 107(b) for extended transition to new or revised accounting standards, it follows the effective date for private companies. We are currently conducting a detailed assessment of the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”) which requires lessees to recognize most leases on the balance sheet. This is expected to increase both reported assets and liabilities. The new lease standard does not substantially change lessor accounting. This standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, although early adoption is permitted. Since the company is an Emerging Growth Company and has made the election under Section 107(b) for extended transition to new or revised accounting standards, it follows the effective date for private companies. Lessees and lessors will be required to apply the new standard at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in which they first apply the new guidance, using a modified retrospective transition method. The requirements of this standard include a significant increase in required disclosures. We began a detailed assessment of the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, and our analysis is ongoing.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effect from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. ASU 2018-02 allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for standard tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard on our consolidated financial statements. ASU 2018-02 will be effective for us on January 1, 2019.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had provided a short-term loan in the amount of $922,934 to Takaaki Matsuoka, CEO and director of the Company. Management determined this action is a violation of Sarbanes Oxley Section 402 and required him to repay the loan with an annual market interest rate of 8%. On May 31, 2018, the loan principal balance was repaid in full; however, the interest of $18,448 was still not paid as of September 30, 2018. Management expects to collect this interest payment by December 31, 2018. Also see PartⅠ, Item 4, and PartⅡ, Item 5 below.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

 

Stemcell Holdings, Inc., the holding company registered in the state of Delaware, does not plan to engage in any business activities. No provision for income taxes in the U.S. has been made as the Company had no U.S. taxable income.

Shiho Matsuoka, the wife of our sole officer and director Takaaki Matsuoka, owns and controls 100% of Primavera Singa Pte., Ltd.

 

Following the closing of this share purchase transaction, Primavera Singa Pte., Ltd. became the controlling shareholder of the Company.

On October 29, 2016, the Company performed the forward stock split, whereby every one (1) share of our common stock was automatically reclassified and changed into two thousand (2,000) shares (the “2000-for-1 Forward Stock Split”). The authorized number of shares and par value per share were not affected by the 2000-for-1 Forward Stock Split. The 2000-for-1 Forward Stock Split was executed subsequent to the Stock Cancellation.

Our operating income increased by $1,195,090 from $2,842,414 to $4,037,504 for the same periods. The change in our net income and operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the prior year period, is primarily a result of us having a significant increase in revenue which was partially offset by a significant increase in costs of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses for the period in 2018, which was primarily a result of additional costs and expenses related to expansion. The changes are detailed below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

 

Introduction

 

As of September 30, 2018, our cash balance was $5,115,747 and our working capital was $3,947,988. Our cash balance is currently sufficient to fund our operations for at least twelve months. Operating cash flow was $1,851,940 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which increased by $21,120 from $1,830,820 the prior year same period. Capital expenditures, composed primarily of property and equipment purchases, were $327,082, and security deposits paid were $727,978, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

If our revenue cannot cover our operating funds, we would need to either borrow funds from Takaaki Matsuoka, our sole Director, or obtain bank financing. Takaaki Matsuoka has informally agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for operating expenses. He, however, has no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the Company. If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations until we raise the cash we need, or cease operations entirely.

 

Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of September 30, 2018 and as of December 31, 2017, respectively, are as follows:

 

		September 30, 2018			December 31, 2017			Change
Cash	$	5,115,747		$	4,483,705		$	632,042
Total Current Assets		9,971,432			5,276,723			4,694,710
Total Assets		12,032,848			6,418,180			5,614,668
Total Current Liabilities		6,023,444			2,610,481			3,412,963
Total Liabilities	$	6,023,444		$	2,610,481		$	3,412,963

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). In doing so, we have to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. In some cases, we could reasonably have used different accounting policies and estimates. In some cases, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. We refer to accounting estimates of this type as critical accounting policies and estimates. We have reviewed our critical accounting policies and estimates with management. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part 1 of this report for discussion of our critical accounting policies.

 

Concentrations of Risk

 

Our revenue is highly dependent on one customer, Omotesando Helene Clinic, which comprised 76.2% and 73.8% of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Our business will be significantly affected should we lose this customer. Helene Clinic is fully-owned by Takaaki Matsuoka, our CEO and director.

 

Principal Commitments

 

With the exception of our lease agreements for Kita Senju Clinic, Kamata Clinic, Chiba Clinic, Fukuoka Clinic, Hachioji Clinic, Hiroshima Clinic and Funabashi Clinic, we are not a party to any agreements other than those services we provide to our customers as part of our normal course of business. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this report.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off balance sheet arrangements.

 

Going Concern Analysis

 

As of September 30, 2018, we had cash of $5,115,747. The combination of our growth in revenues, cash flows from operations and net income leads management to believe that it is probable that our cash resources will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for current operations through and beyond twelve months from the date of this filing. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate sufficient revenues and cash flows and to control costs, there can be no assurances to that effect. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to further implement our business plan, generate sufficient revenues and cash flows and to control operating expenses.

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure and control procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

As of September 30, 2018, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer (our Principal Executive Officer) and chief financial officer (our Principal Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, management is required to apply its reasonable judgment. Based on the evaluation described above, and as a result, in part, of the loan of $922,934 that the Company made to the CEO, which is a violation of Sarbanes Oxley Act, management has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective consistent with our reporting in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

As funds become available to us, we expect to implement additional measures to improve disclosure controls and procedures.

 

(b)       Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

On April 9, 2018, our Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Ms. Erika, Nakazawa from the position of Chief Financial Officer effective immediately. The resignation was not the result of any disagreement with us on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices. On April 9, 2018, our Board of Directors approved the appointment of Ms. Rei Mochizuki as our new Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. We believe this change strengthened our internal controls over financial reporting based on Ms. Mochizuki’s experience. There were no other changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

(c)       Officer’s Certifications

 

Appearing as an exhibit to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are “Certifications” of our Chief Executive and Financial Officer. The Certifications are required pursuant to Sections 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This section of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains information concerning the Controls Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications. This information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions.

However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risk and uncertainties, including those described including those described in part I, item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

OTHER INFORMATION

 

As noted in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2018, we loaned Mr. Takaaki Matsuoka, our Chief Executive Officer, $922,934 on February 28, 2018. We believe this loan was in violation of the Sabares-Oxley Act of 2002. As soon as we made the determination, we notified Mr. Matsuoka that he had until May 31, 2018 to repay the loan in full, with interest calculated as an annual market interest rate of 8%. Mr. Matsuoka repaid the principal of the loan in full on May 31, 2018. However, he has not yet paid the interest. Management expects to collect the interest of $18,448 by December 31, 2018.
