KOBRITE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2008 and 2007 (Unaudited)

(in US dollars)

 

(1) Organization

KoBrite Corporation (“the Company”) was incorporated under the International Business Company Act (“IBC Act”) in Mauritius on November 30, 2004. The main activities of the Company is investment.

KoBrite China Corp. (“KBC”) was incorporated in April 2005 in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). The main activities of KBC are the manufacture and sale of chips for Light Emitting Diode (LED) products. As of December 31, 2006, the Company owned 100% of KBC’s capital, amounting to $12,492,859.

The Company and KBC are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financials statements and are jointly called “the Consolidated Company”.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the number of employees hired by the Consolidated Company was 132 and 172, respectively.

 

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies adopted by the Consolidated Company conform to the related financial accounting standards of “Business Entity Accounting Act” and of the “Regulation on Business Entity Accounting Handling” and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

 

  (a) Principles of consolidation

Investees over which the Company has control power are consolidated into the Company’s financial statements at the end of every fiscal year. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

  (b) Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China requires 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 financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

5


  (c) Foreign currency transactions

The Consolidated Company’s functional currency is the US dollar. The Company and its subsidiary record transactions in their respective local currencies. The translation from the applicable foreign currency assets and liabilities to the US dollar is performed using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date except for non-monetary assets and stockholders’ equity, which are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenue and expense accounts, which are translated using average exchange rates during the year. Gains and losses resulting from such translations are recognized as non-operating income or losses.

Foreign currency transactions are translated at the rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Foreign currency receivables and payables are translated at the approximate market rate of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date. Gains or losses resulting from settlement or translation are recognized as non-operating income or losses.

 

  (d) Distinction between current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets are unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and other assets to be realized in cash, sold, or consumed (prepaid items) within 12 months of the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are obligations to be paid or settled within 12 months of the balance sheet date. All other assets or liabilities are classified as non-current.

 

  (e) Impairment of assets

The Consolidated Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset (individual asset or cash-generating unit) other than goodwill may have been impaired. If any such indication exists, the Consolidated Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset and recognizes impairment loss for an asset whose carrying value is higher than the recoverable amount.

 

  (f) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. Market value for raw material is based on replacement cost. Market value for work in process and finished goods is based on net realizable value.

 

  (g) Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at acquisition cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. If the property and equipment have reached the end of their estimated useful lives but are still in use, the Company will estimate the remaining useful lives and residual values, and depreciate the remaining costs using the same method. Depreciation on leasehold improvements is provided using the straight-line method over the shorter of contract periods or estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Gains (loss) on the disposal of property and equipment are included in non-operating income (loss).

The useful lives of assets are summarized as follows:

Leasehold improvements: 10 years

Machinery and equipment: 5 years

Other equipment: 3~5 years

Property, plant and equipment not currently used in operations are transferred to idle assets. According to SFAS No. 1, property, plant and equipment not currently used in operations are no longer stated at the lower of carrying value or net realizable value. The cost, accumulated depreciation, and accumulated impairment of the original assets not currently used in operations are all transferred to idle assets and depreciated. Depreciation expenses of idle assets are included in non-operating expenses and losses.

 

  (h) Intangible assets

Effective from January 1, 2007, the Company adopted SFAS No. 37 “Intangible Assets”. In accordance with SFAS No. 37, other than an intangible asset acquired by way of a government grant, which should be measured at its fair value, an intangible asset shall be measured initially at cost. After initial recognition, an intangible asset shall be measured at its cost plus revaluation increment revalued in accordance with the laws, less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

The depreciable amount of an intangible asset is determined by the original cost less its residual value. Amortization is provided for by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The cost of computer software for internal use is amortized by using the straight-line method over five years.

 

  (i) Revenue recognition

Revenue derived from product sales is recognized when products are shipped and the significant risks and rewards are transferred to the buyer.

 

6


  (j) Retirement plan

The major business of the Company is investment. No official employees were hired by it. In accordance with local regulations in the PRC, KBC has made a monthly cash contribution of a statutory percentage of salaries and wages to local government and recognized it as current expenses.

 

  (k) Employee’ bonuses and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration

Employee’ bonuses and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration based on the ROC Company Act and the Company’s articles of incorporation and appropriated after January 1, 2008 are accounted for by Interpretation (96)052 issued by the Accounting Research and development Foundation (ARDF). The Company and its domestic subsidiaries estimate the amount of employees’ bonus and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration according to the Interpretation and recognize it as expenses. Differences between the amount approved in the shareholders’ meeting and recognized in the financial statements, if any, are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates and recognized as profit or loss.

 

  (l) Income tax

According to the Mauritius tax law, corporations registered under the IBC Act are exempted from Mauritius income tax.

Entities of the Consolidated Company file their income tax returns separately. The income tax expense of the Consolidated Company is the summation of the income tax expense of the Company and Subsidiary.

Income taxes are calculated based on accounting income. The amounts for deferred income tax liabilities and assets are calculated by applying the provision of enacted tax law to determine the amount of tax payable or refundable, currently or in the future years. The tax effects of taxable temporary differences are recorded as deferred income tax liabilities. The tax effects of deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards are recognized as deferred income tax assets. The realization of deferred income taxes is evaluated, and if it is considered more likely than not that the assets will not be recognized, a valuation allowance is recognized accordingly.

 

  (m) Treasury stock

The Company accounts for the cost of purchasing its outstanding stock as “treasury stock”. A gain on the sale of treasury stock is credited to capital surplus – treasury stock. Losses are charged to capital surplus, but only to the extent of available net gains from previous sales or retirements of the same class of stock; otherwise, losses are charged to retained earnings. The cost of treasury stock is computed using the weighted-average method.

When treasury stock is retired, the weighted-average cost of the retired treasury stock is written off against the par value of the shares and the paid-in capital derived from the issuance of shares in excess of par value. If the weighted-average cost written off exceeds the sum of the par value and the paid-in capital in excess of par value, the difference is debited to capital surplus-treasury stock arising from the same class of stock or to retained earnings, and if vice versa, the difference is credited to capital surplus-treasury stock.

 

(3) Change in Accounting Policies and Its Effect

 

  (a) Effective from January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 39 (SFAS No. 39) and Interpretation (96)052 issued by the ARDF. In accordance with SFAS No. 39 and the above Interpretation, the Company classified, measured and disclosed the share-based payment transactions, employees’ bonuses, and directors’ remuneration. There was no effect about the Consolidated Company’s financial statements on 2008.
