VIVIC CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE– 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

 

VIVIC CORP. (the “Company” or “VIVC”) was established under the corporate laws of the State of Nevada on February 16, 2017. Beginning with a change in management resulting from a change in control of the Company which occurred at the end of 2018, the Company has explored and initiated operations in a number of business areas related to the pleasure boat industry. These included yacht sales, marine tourism, development of electric powered yachts, development and operation of yacht marinas in Asia and the development of a yacht rental and time share service. More recently, the Company determined to focus its efforts on yacht sales in Taiwan and other selected regions throughout the world. The Company is the exclusive distributor of Monte-Fino yachts in Asia and the Middle East, and is the non-exclusive distributor in other territories throughout the world for which Monte-Fino has not appointed an exclusive distributor. Monte Fino is a well-known brand owned by Taiwan Kha Shing Yacht Company, one of the leading yacht manufacturers in the world.

 

The Company’s headquarters are maintained at its branch in the Republic of China (“ROC” or “Taiwan”), Vivic Corp. Taiwan Branch (“Vivic Taiwan”). It is mainly engaged in yacht procurement, sales, and leasing services in Taiwan and other countries.

 

On July 12, 2023, Vivic Corporation (Hong Kong) Co. Limited (“Vivic Hong Kong”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Yun-Kuang Kung (Mr. “Kung”, son of Shang-Chiai Kung, the Company’s principal shareholder, President and Chief Executive Officer), pursuant to which, Mr. Kung acquired all of the shares of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Guangdong Weiguan Ship Tech Co., Ltd (“Weiguan Ship”). In consideration for its interest in Weiguan Ship, the Company received RMB 1,000 ($137) and the agreement of Mr. Kung to indemnify the Company and its affiliates and hold them harmless from, against and in respect of any and all claims arising out of or related to the business of Weiguan Ship whether arising before or after the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement, whether currently known or unknown, including, without limitation any claims for taxes.

NOTE– 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.

 

Basis of presentation

 

These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at such date and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, previously filed with the SEC on April 16, 2024.

Use of estimates

 

Preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of VIVC and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in readily available checking and saving accounts. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and that mature within three months or less from the date of purchase. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.

 

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest and are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from completion of service. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, the customer’s credit-worthiness and payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. Under the current expected credit loss model, at the end of each period, the Company specifically evaluates each individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivables. The Company considers the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, appropriate actions are taken to collect the amounts due, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Property, plant, and equipment

 

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which assets become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

 

   Expected useful life
Service yacht  10 years
Motor vehicle  5 years
Office equipment  5 years

 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

 

9
 

 

Intangible assets, net

 

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets represent the trademark registered in the PRC and purchased software which are amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 10 years.

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 350 in accounting for intangible assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 there were no intangible asset impairments to be recorded.

 

Deferred revenue

 

Deferred revenue represents advance payments made by a customer for goods and services the company will provide in the future. Due to its short-term nature, deferred revenue is usually satisfied within the 12 months.

 

Revenue recognition

 

In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, the Company recognizes revenues when goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining when and how revenues are recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognition of revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company derives revenues from processing, distribution, and sales of its products. The Company recognize its revenue at a point in time when the control of the products has been transferred to customers.

 

Comprehensive income (loss)

 

ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components, and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity deficit, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income (loss) is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

 

Income taxes

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

The Company is subject to tax in local and foreign jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities.

 

10
 

 

Foreign currencies translation

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar (“US$”) and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries operating or which operated in the PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong maintain their books and records in their local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”), New Taiwan Dollar (“TWD”) and Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), each of which is a functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets, and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholder’s equity deficit.

 

Translation of amounts from RMB, TWD and HK$ into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

   March 31, 2024   March 31, 2023   December 31, 2023 
Period/year-end RMB:US$ exchange rate   7.2203    6.8676    7.0999 
Period/annual average RMB:US$ exchange rate   7.1885    6.8423    7.0809 
Period/year-end HK$:US$ exchange rate   7.8259    7.8499    7.8109 
Period/annual average HK$:US$ exchange rate   7.8204    7.8391    7.8292 
Period/year-end TWD:US$ exchange rate   31.9300    30.4800    30.6200 
Period/annual average TWD:US$ exchange rate   31.4458    30.3934    31.1525 

 

Lease

 

At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. However, certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as prepaid or accrued lease payments. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

 

In accordance with the guidance in ASC 842, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g., land, building, etc.), non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g., property taxes, insurance, etc.). Subsequently, the fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any related to non-components) must be allocated based on the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components.

 

The Company made the policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components. Each lease component and the related non-lease components are accounted for together as a single component.

 

11
 

 

Noncontrolling interest

 

The Company accounts for noncontrolling interest in accordance with ASC Topic 810-10-45, which requires the Company to present noncontrolling interests as a separate component of total stockholders’ deficit on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and the net loss attributable to its noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Net loss per share of common stock

 

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per share of common stock is computed similar to basic loss per share of common stock except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common stock were dilutive.

 

Related parties

 

Parties, which can be an entity or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

 

Concentrations and credit risk

 

The Company’s principal financial instruments subject to potential concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, including amounts held in money market accounts. The Company places cash deposits with a federally insured financial institution. The Company maintains its cash at banks and financial institutions it considers to be of high credit quality; however, the Company’s domestic cash deposits may at times exceed the insured limit. Balances in excess of insured limitations may not be insured. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding short-term bank borrowing and notes payable): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, income tax payable, amount due to a related party, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of notes payable approximates the carrying amount.

 

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

● Level 1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;
 
● Level 2 : Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and
 
Level 3 : Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

12
 

 

Value-Added Tax

 

Enterprises or individuals who sell commodities, engage in repair and consultation services in the PRC are subject to a value added tax in accordance with PRC Laws. The VAT standard rate had been 17% of the gross sales price until April 30, 2018, after which date the rate was reduced to 16%. VAT rate was further reduced to 13% starting from April 1, 2019. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of semi-finished products or raw materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on the sales of the finished products.

 

Taiwan

 

Sellers and service providers are generally obligated to pay business tax for the sales of goods or services within Taiwan unless the law provides otherwise. For importation of goods, the business tax will be paid by the goods receivers or buyers via customs. For importation of services sold by foreign companies to Taiwanese buyers, business tax shall be paid by the service buyers. However, the service buyer (corporate entity) will not be required to pay business tax if it is exclusively engaged in taxable transactions subject to either 5% or 0% VAT.

 

VAT is applicable to general industries, and the VAT rate is 5%. Under the VAT system, each seller collects output VAT from the buyer at the time of sale, deducts input VAT paid on purchases from output VAT, and remits the balance to the tax authority.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period accounts have been reclassified in conformity with current period’s presentation including reclassification of operations of discontinued entities from operations of continuing entities. These reclassifications had no impact on the reported results of operations and cash flows.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM). In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires disclosures of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024.

 

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, will have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

NOTE– 3 GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company had $47,224 of cash and cash equivalents and working capital of approximately $2.78 million as of March 31, 2024, which included a receivable due from a related party in the amount of $2.82 million, and the Company generated net income of $0.61 million and a net loss of $0.33 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $2.69 million as of March 31, 2024.

 

The continuation of the Company as a going concern through the one year period from the date on which this report is filed is dependent upon its ability to generate positive cash flow from operations and continued financial support from its related parties or loans or investments by third parties. The Company is actively pursuing additional financing for its operations via potential loans and equity issuances. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain its operations.

 

Management has determined that the above conditions indicate that it may be probable that the Company would not be able to meet its obligations within one year after the date that this report is issued. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. To date the Company has financed its operations primarily through equity investments and loans made by related parties and their affiliates in additional to loans from commercial banks and third parties. The Company may also seek funding through public or private financings, collaborative arrangements, and other possible means of financing.

 

In addition, the Company will seek to expand the yacht brands the Company can offer for sale, the territories in which the Company markets its yachts and, if appropriate based on the Company’s capabilities and what the Company can offer, seek to become the exclusive distributor for yacht manufacturers in Taiwan and other territories. The Company will also seek to enter other areas related to the marine industry where the Company believes it can be profitable.

On August 22, 2023, the Company was charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission with violating Rule 12b-25 by filing a Form 12b-25 “Notification of Late Filing” with respect to its Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, without including sufficient detail under the circumstances presented as to why the Form 10-Q could not be timely filed. More specifically, the SEC alleged that the delay was the result of an anticipated restatement of financial statements. Further, the Company failed to acknowledge in the Form 12b-25 anticipated significant changes in its results of operations for the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2021 and to provide an explanation of the changes. Without admitting or denying the findings of the SEC, the Company agreed to a cease-and-desist order that found that the Company filed one deficient Form NT and one untimely Form 8-K. In addition, the Company agreed to pay a fine of $60,000.

 

The Company recorded the $60,000 fine as of March 31, 2024, and during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company made a payment of $11,850 and $0 to an escrow account, which fund was subsequently released to the SEC.

 

Accrued liabilities and other payables are the expenses that will be settled in next twelve months.

 

NOTE– 8 LOAN PAYABLE

Vivic Taiwan borrowed TWD 5,000,000 ($164,042) from this individual for a term of one year, with annual interest of 10%, the interest is to be paid monthly. Vivic Taiwan was required to pay the interest for the first and second months on the 15th of the month in which the Company received the loan proceeds. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded and paid interest expense of $3,975 and $2,211, respectively.

If the lender decides to keep the 162,391 shares at maturity of the loan, the Company will repay TWD 5,000,000 ($164,042) to Yun-Kuang Kung without any interest. If the Company is not able to repay Yun-Kuang Kung by March 15, 2024, the Company is required to issue a number of shares equivalent to the loan amount based upon the fair market value of the shares at such date, plus 10% more of the equivalent shares. On March 13, 2024, the Company and the lender agreed to extend the term of this loan for an additional year.

NOTE– 9 SBA LOAN PAYABLE

 

On June 23, 2020, Vivic Corp. received an $87,500 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL loan”) from the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). This is a low-interest federal disaster loan for working capital to small businesses and non-profit organizations of any size suffering substantial economic injury as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic, to help businesses to meet financial obligations and operating expenses that could have been met had the disaster not occurred. This loan has an annual interest rate of 3.75% and is not forgivable. The maturity of the loan is 30 years, installment payments including principal and interest of $427 monthly will begin 30 months from the loan disbursement date. Due to the fact that the loan repayment was deferred for 30 months, the payments are going 100% toward the interest since the interest started to accrue from the original disbursement date. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company made payments of interest of $1,281 and $1,708 on the EIDL loan, respectively.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the future minimum EIDL loan payments for the Company to be paid by year are as follows:

 

Year Ending March 31,  Amount 
2025  $5,124 
2026   5,124 
2027   5,124 
2028   5,124 
2029   5,124 
Thereafter   61,880 
Total  $87,500

Overview

 

Beginning with a change in our management resulting from a change in control of our Company which occurred at the end of 2018, we have explored and initiated operations in a number of business areas related to the pleasure boat industry. These included yacht sales, marine tourism, development of electric powered yachts, development and operation of yacht marinas in Asia and the development of a yacht rental and time share service. In 2023, we determined to focus our efforts on yacht sales in Taiwan and other selected regions throughout the world, and since that time have disposed of all of our business operations in mainland China.

 

We are the exclusive distributor of Monte-Fino yachts in Asia and the Middle East pursuant to our agreement with Kha Shing Enterprise Co. We also distribute Monte Fino yachts in other territories throughout the world other than those, such as the United States, where Kha Shing has granted another company exclusive distribution rights. Our employees located in Taiwan engage in the design, construction, on an outsourced basis, and distribution of power boats, charter boats and eco-friendly new energy boats. In cooperation with Kha Shing, we design and offer various yachts models which differ in their sizes, performances, and functions. Currently, we own our own brand name, “VIVIC.”

 

As our company grows, we will seek to expand the yacht brands we offer for sale, the territories in which we market yachts and, if appropriate based on our capabilities and what we can offer, seek to become the exclusive distributor for yacht manufacturers in Taiwan and other territories. We will also seek to enter other areas related to the marine industry where we believe we can be profitable.

 

Our yachts are manufactured by third parties selected by us on the basis of their production capabilities, technical ability and financial wherewithal. Once a customer places an order, we negotiate and sign an original equipment manufacturer contract with a selected local manufacturer. Our technical staff closely monitors the progress of construction. Upon completion, we deliver the boat to the location designated by our customer.

 

Results of Operations

 

On July 12, 2023, our subsidiary, Vivic Corporation (Hong Kong) Co. Limited (“Vivic Hong Kong”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Yun-Kuang Kung pursuant to which Mr. Kung acquired all of the shares of our indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Guangdong Weiguan Ship Tech Co., Ltd. (“Weiguan Ship”). In consideration for our interest in Weiguan Ship, we received RMB 1,000 ($137) and the agreement of Mr. Kung to indemnify us and our affiliates against any and all claims, including unknown claims and claims for taxes, related to the business of Weiguan Ship whether arising before or after the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The divestiture of Weiguan Ship completed our plan to divest of all activities other than our ongoing yacht business in Taiwan.

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.

 

As a result of the sale of our interest in Weiguan Ship and its subsidiaries, the assets and related liabilities and the results of operations of such entities are included in the financial statements included in this report as discontinued operations. The following table sets forth the results of our operations for the periods indicated as a percentage of net sales. Certain columns may not add due to rounding.

Revenue

 

Revenue from continuing operations was $1,837,442 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We did not generate any revenues from continuing operations in the three months ended March 31,2023. The revenue from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2024 reflects sales of yachts at our Taiwan Branch. In 2023, we determined to focus our efforts on yacht sales in Taiwan and other selected regions throughout the world and we began to generate revenues from the sale of yachts in the third quarter of 2023, when revenues were $791,043.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue from continuing operations was $649,491 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We did not generate revenues from continuing operations in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and thus had no cost of revenues in the period. The cost of revenues in the first quarter of 2024 was mainly due to costs associated with yacht sales.

 

Gross profit

 

Gross profit from continuing operations was $1,187,951 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We did not generate any revenues from continuing operations in the three months ended March 31,2023, and, consequently, had no gross profits from continuing operations during such quarter, The gross profit in the first quarter of 2024 is all the result of yacht sales.

 

Operating expenses

 

Selling expenses consist mainly of employee salaries and welfare, entertainment, and transportation expenses of the marketing department. There were no selling expenses incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

21
 

 

General and administrative expenses consisted mainly of employee salaries and welfare, the cost of business meetings, utilities, accounting, consulting, and legal expenses. General and administrative expenses were $404,541 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $48,527 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $356,014 or 733.64%. The increase was mainly due to an increase in commission expense of $318,007, an increase in audit fees of $10,000, increased professional fees of $2,862, increased legal expenses of $13,011, and increased travel expenses of $11,338.

 

Other expenses, net

 

Net other expenses were $6,008 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and $57,015 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net other expenses mainly consisted of interest expense of $6,008. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net other expenses mainly consisted of interest expense of $2,211, and other expenses of $54,804.

 

Net income (loss) from continuing operations

 

We had net income from continuing operations of $610,165 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $105,542 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $715,707. The increase in net income from continuing operations was mainly due to the revenue and gross profit generated by yacht sales and decreased other expenses, which was partly offset by increased G&A expenses and increased income tax expense.

 

Net loss from discontinued operations

 

Because we disposed of all of our other operations in 2023, there were no revenues, expenses, income or loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our discontinued operations incurred a net loss of $226,682 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

 

Net income (loss) for the period

 

We had net income of $610,165 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net loss of $332,224 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of net income of $942,389 for the reasons explained above.

 

LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

We had $47,224 of cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $2,780,765 (including $2,817,646 due from a related party) as of March 31, 2024, and generated net income of $610,165 during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company had $47,224 of cash and cash equivalents available for the Company’s continuing operations and working capital of $2,780,765 (which included $2,817,646 due from a related party) as of March 31, 2024, and generated net income of $610,165 and a net loss of $332,224 during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition, we had an accumulated deficit of $2.69 million as of March 31, 2024.

 

The continuation of the Company as a going concern through the one-year anniversary of the date of this filing is dependent upon the continued financial support from its related parties and loans or investments from third parties. The Company is actively pursuing additional financing for its operations through loans and the sale of equity. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain its operations.

 

Management has determined that the above conditions indicate that it may be probable that the Company would not be able to meet its obligations within one year after the date of issuance of this report. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

 

PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING

 

We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds, cash generated from operations and further issuances of securities to our principal shareholders. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business.

 

Existing working capital, further advances and debt instruments, and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next six months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements apart from amounts outstanding under our SBA Loan and our loan with Taiwan Hua Nan Bank. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt instruments to our principal shareholders. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) developmental expenses associated with our business and (ii) marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of equity securities and debt instruments. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current stockholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.

In determining when and how revenues are recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognition of revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company derives revenues from the processing, distribution, and sale of its products.

 

● Net loss per share

 

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

 

● Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires disclosures of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024.

 

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Management of our Company is responsible for maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. In addition, the disclosure controls and procedures must ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial and other required disclosures.

 

An evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Exchange Act) at March 31, 2024 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer who also is our Chief Financial Officer. Based on his evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, he concluded that at March 31, 2024, such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. This was due to our limited resources, including the absence of a financial staff with accounting and financial expertise and deficiencies in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our disclosure controls and that may be considered to be “material weaknesses.”

 

We plan to designate individuals responsible for identifying reportable developments and to implement procedures designed to remediate the material weakness by focusing additional attention and resources in our internal accounting functions at such time as such actions can be properly supported by the financial results of our operations. However, there is no assurance as to when we will undertake to hire the personnel and implement the procedures necessary to remediate the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter which is the subject of this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

NOTE– 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

 

VIVIC CORP. (the “Company” or “VIVC”) was established under the corporate laws of the State of Nevada on February 16, 2017. Beginning with a change in management resulting from a change in control of the Company which occurred at the end of 2018, the Company has explored and initiated operations in a number of business areas related to the pleasure boat industry. These included yacht sales, marine tourism, development of electric powered yachts, development and operation of yacht marinas in Asia and the development of a yacht rental and time share service. More recently, the Company determined to focus its efforts on yacht sales in Taiwan and other selected regions throughout the world. The Company is the exclusive distributor of Monte-Fino yachts in Asia and the Middle East, and is the non-exclusive distributor in other territories throughout the world for which Monte-Fino has not appointed an exclusive distributor. Monte Fino is a well-known brand owned by Taiwan Kha Shing Yacht Company, one of the leading yacht manufacturers in the world.

 

The Company’s headquarters are maintained at its branch in the Republic of China (“ROC” or “Taiwan”), Vivic Corp. Taiwan Branch (“Vivic Taiwan”). It is mainly engaged in yacht procurement, sales, and leasing services in Taiwan and other countries.

 

On July 12, 2023, Vivic Corporation (Hong Kong) Co. Limited (“Vivic Hong Kong”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Yun-Kuang Kung (Mr. “Kung”, son of Shang-Chiai Kung, the Company’s principal shareholder, President and Chief Executive Officer), pursuant to which, Mr. Kung acquired all of the shares of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Guangdong Weiguan Ship Tech Co., Ltd (“Weiguan Ship”). In consideration for its interest in Weiguan Ship, the Company received RMB 1,000 ($137) and the agreement of Mr. Kung to indemnify the Company and its affiliates and hold them harmless from, against and in respect of any and all claims arising out of or related to the business of Weiguan Ship whether arising before or after the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement, whether currently known or unknown, including, without limitation any claims for taxes.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE– 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.

 

Basis of presentation

 

These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at such date and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, previously filed with the SEC on April 16, 2024.

 

 

Use of estimates

 

Preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of VIVC and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in readily available checking and saving accounts. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and that mature within three months or less from the date of purchase. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.

 

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest and are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from completion of service. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, the customer’s credit-worthiness and payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. Under the current expected credit loss model, at the end of each period, the Company specifically evaluates each individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivables. The Company considers the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, appropriate actions are taken to collect the amounts due, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Property, plant, and equipment

 

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which assets become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

 

   Expected useful life
Service yacht  10 years
Motor vehicle  5 years
Office equipment  5 years

 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

 

 

Intangible assets, net

 

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets represent the trademark registered in the PRC and purchased software which are amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 10 years.

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 350 in accounting for intangible assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 there were no intangible asset impairments to be recorded.

 

Deferred revenue

 

Deferred revenue represents advance payments made by a customer for goods and services the company will provide in the future. Due to its short-term nature, deferred revenue is usually satisfied within the 12 months.

 

Revenue recognition

 

In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, the Company recognizes revenues when goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining when and how revenues are recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognition of revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company derives revenues from processing, distribution, and sales of its products. The Company recognize its revenue at a point in time when the control of the products has been transferred to customers.

 

Comprehensive income (loss)

 

ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components, and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity deficit, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income (loss) is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

 

Income taxes

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

The Company is subject to tax in local and foreign jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities.

 

 

Foreign currencies translation

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar (“US$”) and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries operating or which operated in the PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong maintain their books and records in their local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”), New Taiwan Dollar (“TWD”) and Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), each of which is a functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets, and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholder’s equity deficit.

 

Translation of amounts from RMB, TWD and HK$ into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

   March 31, 2024   March 31, 2023   December 31, 2023 
Period/year-end RMB:US$ exchange rate   7.2203    6.8676    7.0999 
Period/annual average RMB:US$ exchange rate   7.1885    6.8423    7.0809 
Period/year-end HK$:US$ exchange rate   7.8259    7.8499    7.8109 
Period/annual average HK$:US$ exchange rate   7.8204    7.8391    7.8292 
Period/year-end TWD:US$ exchange rate   31.9300    30.4800    30.6200 
Period/annual average TWD:US$ exchange rate   31.4458    30.3934    31.1525 

 

Lease

 

At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. However, certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as prepaid or accrued lease payments. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

 

In accordance with the guidance in ASC 842, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g., land, building, etc.), non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g., property taxes, insurance, etc.). Subsequently, the fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any related to non-components) must be allocated based on the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components.

 

The Company made the policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components. Each lease component and the related non-lease components are accounted for together as a single component.

 

 

Noncontrolling interest

 

The Company accounts for noncontrolling interest in accordance with ASC Topic 810-10-45, which requires the Company to present noncontrolling interests as a separate component of total stockholders’ deficit on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and the net loss attributable to its noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Net loss per share of common stock

 

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per share of common stock is computed similar to basic loss per share of common stock except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common stock were dilutive.

 

Related parties

 

Parties, which can be an entity or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

 

Concentrations and credit risk

 

The Company’s principal financial instruments subject to potential concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, including amounts held in money market accounts. The Company places cash deposits with a federally insured financial institution. The Company maintains its cash at banks and financial institutions it considers to be of high credit quality; however, the Company’s domestic cash deposits may at times exceed the insured limit. Balances in excess of insured limitations may not be insured. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding short-term bank borrowing and notes payable): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, income tax payable, amount due to a related party, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of notes payable approximates the carrying amount.

 

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

● Level 1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;
 
● Level 2 : Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and
 
Level 3 : Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

 

Value-Added Tax

 

Enterprises or individuals who sell commodities, engage in repair and consultation services in the PRC are subject to a value added tax in accordance with PRC Laws. The VAT standard rate had been 17% of the gross sales price until April 30, 2018, after which date the rate was reduced to 16%. VAT rate was further reduced to 13% starting from April 1, 2019. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of semi-finished products or raw materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on the sales of the finished products.

 

Taiwan

 

Sellers and service providers are generally obligated to pay business tax for the sales of goods or services within Taiwan unless the law provides otherwise. For importation of goods, the business tax will be paid by the goods receivers or buyers via customs. For importation of services sold by foreign companies to Taiwanese buyers, business tax shall be paid by the service buyers. However, the service buyer (corporate entity) will not be required to pay business tax if it is exclusively engaged in taxable transactions subject to either 5% or 0% VAT.

 

VAT is applicable to general industries, and the VAT rate is 5%. Under the VAT system, each seller collects output VAT from the buyer at the time of sale, deducts input VAT paid on purchases from output VAT, and remits the balance to the tax authority.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period accounts have been reclassified in conformity with current period’s presentation including reclassification of operations of discontinued entities from operations of continuing entities. These reclassifications had no impact on the reported results of operations and cash flows.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM). In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires disclosures of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024.

 

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, will have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

NOTE– 3 GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company had $47,224 of cash and cash equivalents and working capital of approximately $2.78 million as of March 31, 2024, which included a receivable due from a related party in the amount of $2.82 million, and the Company generated net income of $0.61 million and a net loss of $0.33 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $2.69 million as of March 31, 2024.

 

The continuation of the Company as a going concern through the one year period from the date on which this report is filed is dependent upon its ability to generate positive cash flow from operations and continued financial support from its related parties or loans or investments by third parties. The Company is actively pursuing additional financing for its operations via potential loans and equity issuances. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain its operations.

 

Management has determined that the above conditions indicate that it may be probable that the Company would not be able to meet its obligations within one year after the date that this report is issued. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. To date the Company has financed its operations primarily through equity investments and loans made by related parties and their affiliates in additional to loans from commercial banks and third parties. The Company may also seek funding through public or private financings, collaborative arrangements, and other possible means of financing.

 

In addition, the Company will seek to expand the yacht brands the Company can offer for sale, the territories in which the Company markets its yachts and, if appropriate based on the Company’s capabilities and what the Company can offer, seek to become the exclusive distributor for yacht manufacturers in Taiwan and other territories. The Company will also seek to enter other areas related to the marine industry where the Company believes it can be profitable.

On August 22, 2023, the Company was charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission with violating Rule 12b-25 by filing a Form 12b-25 “Notification of Late Filing” with respect to its Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, without including sufficient detail under the circumstances presented as to why the Form 10-Q could not be timely filed. More specifically, the SEC alleged that the delay was the result of an anticipated restatement of financial statements. Further, the Company failed to acknowledge in the Form 12b-25 anticipated significant changes in its results of operations for the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the first quarter of 2021 and to provide an explanation of the changes. Without admitting or denying the findings of the SEC, the Company agreed to a cease-and-desist order that found that the Company filed one deficient Form NT and one untimely Form 8-K. In addition, the Company agreed to pay a fine of $60,000.

 

The Company recorded the $60,000 fine as of March 31, 2024, and during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company made a payment of $11,850 and $0 to an escrow account, which fund was subsequently released to the SEC.

 

Accrued liabilities and other payables are the expenses that will be settled in next twelve months.

NOTE– 8 LOAN PAYABLE

 

On March 13, 2023, Vivic Taiwan entered a loan agreement with a third-party individual. Vivic Taiwan borrowed TWD 5,000,000 ($164,042) from this individual for a term of one year, with annual interest of 10%, the interest is to be paid monthly. Vivic Taiwan was required to pay the interest for the first and second months on the 15th of the month in which the Company received the loan proceeds. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded and paid interest expense of $3,975 and $2,211, respectively. The loan is collateralized by 162,391 shares of the Company’s common stock owned by the son of the Company’s CEO (Mr. Yun-Kuang Kung). The fair value of 162,391 shares was $82,836 on March 13, 2023. When the loan matures, the lender has the option to ask for cash repayment from the Company or keep the 162,391 shares of the Company’s stock as repayment in full. If the lender decides to keep the 162,391 shares at maturity of the loan, the Company will repay TWD 5,000,000 ($164,042) to Yun-Kuang Kung without any interest. If the Company is not able to repay Yun-Kuang Kung by March 15, 2024, the Company is required to issue a number of shares equivalent to the loan amount based upon the fair market value of the shares at such date, plus 10% more of the equivalent shares. On March 13, 2024, the Company and the lender agreed to extend the term of this loan for an additional year.

SBA LOAN PAYABLE

NOTE– 9 SBA LOAN PAYABLE

 

On June 23, 2020, Vivic Corp. received an $87,500 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL loan”) from the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). This is a low-interest federal disaster loan for working capital to small businesses and non-profit organizations of any size suffering substantial economic injury as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic, to help businesses to meet financial obligations and operating expenses that could have been met had the disaster not occurred. This loan has an annual interest rate of 3.75% and is not forgivable. The maturity of the loan is 30 years, installment payments including principal and interest of $427 monthly will begin 30 months from the loan disbursement date. Due to the fact that the loan repayment was deferred for 30 months, the payments are going 100% toward the interest since the interest started to accrue from the original disbursement date. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company made payments of interest of $1,281 and $1,708 on the EIDL loan, respectively.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the future minimum EIDL loan payments for the Company to be paid by year are as follows:

 

Year Ending March 31,  Amount 
2025  $5,124 
2026   5,124

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

 

These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at such date and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, previously filed with the SEC on April 16, 2024.

 

 

Use of estimates

Use of estimates

 

Preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Principles of consolidation

Principles of consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of VIVC and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in readily available checking and saving accounts. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and that mature within three months or less from the date of purchase. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.

 

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest and are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from completion of service. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, the customer’s credit-worthiness and payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. Under the current expected credit loss model, at the end of each period, the Company specifically evaluates each individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivables. The Company considers the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, appropriate actions are taken to collect the amounts due, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment

 

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which assets become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

 

   Expected useful life
Service yacht  10 years
Motor vehicle  5 years
Office equipment  5 years

 

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

 

 

Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets, net

 

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets represent the trademark registered in the PRC and purchased software which are amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 10 years.

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 350 in accounting for intangible assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 there were no intangible asset impairments to be recorded.

 

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue

 

Deferred revenue represents advance payments made by a customer for goods and services the company will provide in the future. Due to its short-term nature, deferred revenue is usually satisfied within the 12 months.

 

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

 

In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, the Company recognizes revenues when goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining when and how revenues are recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognition of revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company derives revenues from processing, distribution, and sales of its products. The Company recognize its revenue at a point in time when the control of the products has been transferred to customers.

 

Comprehensive income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss)

 

ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components, and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity deficit, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income (loss) is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

 

Income taxes

Income taxes

 

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

The Company is subject to tax in local and foreign jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities.

 

 

Foreign currencies translation

Foreign currencies translation

 

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar (“US$”) and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries operating or which operated in the PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong maintain their books and records in their local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”), New Taiwan Dollar (“TWD”) and Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), each of which is a functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets, and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholder’s equity deficit.

 

Translation of amounts from RMB, TWD and HK$ into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

   March 31, 2024   March 31, 2023   December 31, 2023 
Period/year-end RMB:US$ exchange rate   7.2203    6.8676    7.0999 
Period/annual average RMB:US$ exchange rate   7.1885    6.8423    7.0809 
Period/year-end HK$:US$ exchange rate   7.8259    7.8499    7.8109 
Period/annual average HK$:US$ exchange rate   7.8204    7.8391    7.8292 
Period/year-end TWD:US$ exchange rate   31.9300    30.4800    30.6200 
Period/annual average TWD:US$ exchange rate   31.4458    30.3934    31.1525 

 

Lease

Lease

 

At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. However, certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as prepaid or accrued lease payments. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

 

In accordance with the guidance in ASC 842, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g., land, building, etc.), non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g., property taxes, insurance, etc.). Subsequently, the fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any related to non-components) must be allocated based on the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components.

 

The Company made the policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components. Each lease component and the related non-lease components are accounted for together as a single component.

 

 

Noncontrolling interest

Noncontrolling interest

 

The Company accounts for noncontrolling interest in accordance with ASC Topic 810-10-45, which requires the Company to present noncontrolling interests as a separate component of total stockholders’ deficit on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and the net loss attributable to its noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Net loss per share of common stock

Net loss per share of common stock

 

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per share of common stock is computed similar to basic loss per share of common stock except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common stock were dilutive.

 

Related parties

Related parties

 

Parties, which can be an entity or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

 

Concentrations and credit risk

Concentrations and credit risk

 

The Company’s principal financial instruments subject to potential concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, including amounts held in money market accounts. The Company places cash deposits with a federally insured financial institution. The Company maintains its cash at banks and financial institutions it considers to be of high credit quality; however, the Company’s domestic cash deposits may at times exceed the insured limit. Balances in excess of insured limitations may not be insured. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding short-term bank borrowing and notes payable): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, income tax payable, amount due to a related party, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of notes payable approximates the carrying amount.

 

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

● Level 1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;
 
● Level 2 : Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and
 
Level 3 : Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

 

Value-Added Tax

Value-Added Tax

 

Enterprises or individuals who sell commodities, engage in repair and consultation services in the PRC are subject to a value added tax in accordance with PRC Laws. The VAT standard rate had been 17% of the gross sales price until April 30, 2018, after which date the rate was reduced to 16%. VAT rate was further reduced to 13% starting from April 1, 2019. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of semi-finished products or raw materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on the sales of the finished products.

 

Taiwan

 

Sellers and service providers are generally obligated to pay business tax for the sales of goods or services within Taiwan unless the law provides otherwise. For importation of goods, the business tax will be paid by the goods receivers or buyers via customs. For importation of services sold by foreign companies to Taiwanese buyers, business tax shall be paid by the service buyers. However, the service buyer (corporate entity) will not be required to pay business tax if it is exclusively engaged in taxable transactions subject to either 5% or 0% VAT.

 

VAT is applicable to general industries, and the VAT rate is 5%. Under the VAT system, each seller collects output VAT from the buyer at the time of sale, deducts input VAT paid on purchases from output VAT, and remits the balance to the tax authority.

 

Reclassification

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period accounts have been reclassified in conformity with current period’s presentation including reclassification of operations of discontinued entities from operations of continuing entities. These reclassifications had no impact on the reported results of operations and cash flows.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM). In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires disclosures of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024.

 

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, will have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.
