SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its Taiwan branch and its subsidiary, Taiwanofungus HK. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollar (“USD”), which is the reporting currency of the Company. The functional currency of Cordyceps Sunshine HK is Hong Kong dollar (“HKD”). The functional currency of Chengdu Skyherb is Renminbi (“RMB”). The functional currency of Cordyceps Sunshine Taiwan Branch is New Taiwan dollar (“TWD”).
The Company maintains its books and records in its functional currencies. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies are translated into the functional currencies at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the period end, transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies are translated into the functional currencies at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“USD”), and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in USD. In accordance with ASC Topic 830- 30, “Translation of Financial Statements”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not USD are translated into USD, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from the translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) within the statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit.
The exchange rates used for foreign currency translation were as follows:
(1) USD$1 = HKD
(2) USD$1 = RMB
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through local authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into USD at the rates used in translation. (3) USD$1 = TWD
Statements of Cash Flows
In accordance with FASB ASC 830-230, “Statement of Cash Flows”, cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the functional currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions of future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as operating environment changes. Significant estimates and assumptions by management include, among others, estimated life and impairment of long-lived assets, contingencies, valuation of inventories and income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
While the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.
Reclassification of prior year presentation
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. A reclassification has been made to the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022 to reclassify short term loan of $414,000 to long term loan payable due to amendments of the loan agreements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosures requirements for fair value measures. Current assets and current liabilities qualified as financial instruments and management believes their carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their current interest rate is equivalent to interest rates currently available. The three levels are defined as follow:
As of the balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, long-term loan and other payables, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to the short maturities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all other highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable and allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying amount net of allowance for expected credit losses. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, ”Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” on January 1, 2021 using a modified retrospective approach. The Company also adopted this guidance to other receivables. To estimate expected credit losses, the Company has identified the relevant risk characteristics of its customers and the related receivables. The Company considers the past collection experience, current economic conditions, future economic conditions (external data and macroeconomic factors) and changes in the Company’s customer collection trends. The allowance for credit losses and corresponding receivables were written off when they are determined to be uncollectible. In circumstances in which the Company receives payment for accounts receivable that have previously been written off, the Company reverses the allowance and bad debt. The allowance for doubtful receivables was $0 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Consumptive biological assets
The consumptive biological assets refer to the taiwanofungus held for sale, or taiwanofungus cultivate medium to be harvested as taiwanofungus products in the future.
The prepared taiwanofungus cultivate medium is enclosed in a cultivation carrier at the beginning of the cultivation process. No materials need to be added until the taiwanofungus grows and matures in the cultivate medium. The inventory cost amounts mainly consist of the Taiwanofungus cultivation medium that was prepared by the suppliers.
The consumptive biological assets consisting of raw materials, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value utilizing the weighted average method.
The determination of net realizable value of long-term taiwanofungus cultivation costs is based upon quarterly reviews of costs incurred and estimated costs to complete the cultivating process. When costs incurred and the estimate to complete exceed the net realizable value of taiwanofungus cultivated, a loss provision is recorded.
The Company review and identify impaired inventory quarterly, including excess or obsolete inventory, based on expected production usage, abnormal production cycle. Impaired inventories are charged to cost of revenues in the period the impairment occurs. The allowance for inventory impairment are removed from the accounts when the relevant inventory is sold or disposed. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property and equipment primarily consist of cultivation facilities, office equipment and furniture. Cultivation facilities, office equipment and furniture tare stated at cost less accumulated depreciation less any provision required for impairment in value. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with residual value rate of 5% based on the estimated useful lives as follows:
Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets disposed of or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of income.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company recorded a fixed asset impairment of $1,177 for the discontinued operation in the year ended December 31, 2022.
Operating Lease
The Company leases are classified as operating leases in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.
At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The right-of-use asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. impairment for right-of-use lease assets incurred for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
Research & Development Expenses
Research and development expenses relating to the development of new products and processes, including significant improvements and refinements to existing products, are expensed when incurred in accordance with the FASB ASC 730, “Research and Development.” Research and development costs in continued operation were $0, $0, and $118,444 for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income” established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income/loss, its components and accumulated balances. Components of comprehensive income/loss include net income/loss and foreign currency translation adjustments. The component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consisted of foreign currency translation adjustments. The accumulated other comprehensive income was $91,281 and $88,770 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted ASC 606 upon inception. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Revenue for the sale of products, primarily includes the sale of taiwanofungus products. The Company’s sales arrangements do not contain variable consideration. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time based on management’s evaluation of when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied, and control of the products has been transferred to the customer. For the vast majority of the Company’s product sales, the performance obligations and control of the products transfer to the customer when products are delivered and customer acceptance is made.
The Company’s return policy allows for the return of damaged or defective products, and the Company absorbs the shipping fee for the return. The Management believes the return is immaterial because the customers inspect and accept the goods upon delivery or pick up. There were no return for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
Income Taxes
The Company is subject to the Provisional Regulations on Income Tax of Taiwan. The Company’s operations in producing and selling taiwanofungus are subject to the 20% enterprise income tax.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provision of FASB ASC 740- 10, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per ordinary share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of ordinary share outstanding and of potential ordinary share (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an anti- dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no dilutive stocks.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments the Company holds that are subject to concentrations of credit risk are cash, notes receivables and accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash and restricted cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company routinely assesses the credit status of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risks, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts. The company believes its accounts receivable and others receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
Related Parties Transactions
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered as a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts of related party transactions due to their related party nature.
Segment Reporting
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s chief operating decision maker organizes segments within the Company for making operating decisions assessing performance and allocating resources. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.
Management determined the Company’s operations constitute a single reportable segment in accordance with ASC 280. The Company operates exclusively in one business and industry segment: cultivating and sales of Chinese rare medicinal herb, taiwanofungus raw material and its finished products.
Recently Issued 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 Company’s management does not believe that the adoption this ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s 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. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to provide more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented on the statement of operations. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its financial statements and disclosures. |
