+Added: accounting or whether they must be accounted for as a combined unit of accounting.
+Added: This evaluation involves subjective determinations
+Added: and requires management to make judgments about the individual deliverables and whether such deliverables are separate from other aspects
+Added: of the contractual relationship.
Deliverables are considered separate units of accounting provided that:
−Removed: (i) the delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a standalone basis and (ii) if the arrangement includes a general right of return
−Removed: relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially within
−Removed: In assessing whether an item under a collaboration has standalone value, the Company considers factors such as the research,
−Removed: manufacturing, and commercialization capabilities of the collaboration partner and the availability of the associated expertise in the
−Removed: general marketplace.
−Removed: The Company also considers whether its collaboration partners can use the other deliverable(s) for their intended
−Removed: purpose without the receipt of the remaining element(s), whether the value of the deliverable is dependent on the undelivered item(s),
−Removed: and whether there are other vendors that can provide the undelivered element(s).
−Removed: Company recognizes arrangement consideration allocated to each unit of accounting when all of the revenue recognition criteria in ASC
−Removed: 606 are satisfied for that particular unit of accounting.
−Removed: In the event that a deliverable does not represent a separate unit of accounting,
−Removed: the Company recognizes revenue from the combined unit of accounting over the Company’s contractual or estimated performance period
−Removed: for the undelivered elements, which is typically the term of the Company’s research and development obligations.
−Removed: If there is no
−Removed: discernible pattern of performance or objectively measurable performance measures do not exist, then the Company recognizes revenue under
−Removed: the arrangement on a straight-line basis over the period the Company is expected to complete its performance obligations.
−Removed: if the pattern of performance in which the service is provided to the customer can be determined and objectively measurable performance
−Removed: measures exist, then the Company recognizes revenue under the arrangement using the proportional performance method.
−Removed: Revenue recognized
−Removed: is limited to the lesser of the cumulative amount of payments received or the cumulative amount of revenue earned, as determined using
−Removed: the straight-line method or proportional performance method, as applicable, as of the period ending date.
−Removed: the inception of an arrangement that includes milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether each milestone is substantive and at
−Removed: risk to both parties on the basis of the contingent nature of the milestone.
+Added: (i) the delivered item(s) has
+Added: value to the customer on a standalone basis and (ii) if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered
+Added: item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially within its control.
+Added: whether an item under a collaboration has standalone value, the Company considers factors such as the research, manufacturing, and commercialization
+Added: capabilities of the collaboration partner and the availability of the associated expertise in the general marketplace.
+Added: The Company also
+Added: considers whether its collaboration partners can use the other deliverable(s) for their intended purpose without the receipt of the remaining
+Added: element(s), whether the value of the deliverable is dependent on the undelivered item(s), and whether there are other vendors that can
+Added: provide the undelivered element(s).
+Added: The Company recognizes arrangement consideration
+Added: allocated to each unit of accounting when all of the revenue recognition criteria in ASC 606 are satisfied for that particular unit of
+Added: In the event that a deliverable does not represent a separate unit of accounting, the Company recognizes revenue from the
+Added: combined unit of accounting over the Company’s contractual or estimated performance period for the undelivered elements, which
+Added: is typically the term of the Company’s research and development obligations.
+Added: If there is no discernible pattern of performance
+Added: or objectively measurable performance measures do not exist, then the Company recognizes revenue under the arrangement on a straight-line
+Added: basis over the period the Company is expected to complete its performance obligations.
+Added: Conversely, if the pattern of performance in which
+Added: the service is provided to the customer can be determined and objectively measurable performance measures exist, then the Company recognizes
+Added: revenue under the arrangement using the proportional performance method.
+Added: Revenue recognized is limited to the lesser of the cumulative
+Added: amount of payments received or the cumulative amount of revenue earned, as determined using the straight-line method or proportional
+Added: performance method, as applicable, as of the period ending date.
+Added: At the inception of an arrangement that includes
+Added: milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether each milestone is substantive and at risk to both parties on the basis of the contingent
+Added: nature of the milestone.
This evaluation includes an assessment of whether:
−Removed: consideration is commensurate with either the Company’s performance to achieve the milestone or the enhancement of the value of
−Removed: the delivered item(s) as a result of a specific outcome resulting from its performance to achieve the milestone, (2) the consideration
−Removed: relates solely to past performance and (3) the consideration is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms within
−Removed: the arrangement.
−Removed: The Company evaluates factors such as the scientific, clinical, regulatory, commercial, and other risks that must be
−Removed: overcome to achieve the particular milestone and the level of effort and investment required to achieve the particular milestone in making

−Removed: tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
−Removed: Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent
−Removed: period in which the threshold is met.
−Removed: Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should
−Removed: be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer satisfied.
−Removed: Penalties and interest
−Removed: incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the year incurred.
−Removed: No significant penalty or interest
−Removed: relating to income taxes has been incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
−Removed: GAAP also provides guidance on de-recognition,
−Removed: classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition.
−Removed: December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for tax effects
−Removed: of the Tax Act.
−Removed: SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies
−Removed: to complete the accounting under ASC 740.
−Removed: In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects
−Removed: of the Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete.
−Removed: To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax
−Removed: effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate to be included
−Removed: in the financial statements.
−Removed: If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should
−Removed: continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provision of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Tax
−Removed: While the Company is able to make reasonable estimates of the impact of the reduction in corporate rate and the deemed repatriation
−Removed: transition tax, the final impact of the Tax Act may differ from these estimates, due to, among other things, changes in our interpretations
−Removed: and assumptions, additional guidance that may be issued by the I.R.S., and actions the Company may take.
−Removed: The Company is continuing to
−Removed: gather additional information to determine the final impact.
−Removed: of Deferred Tax Assets
−Removed: valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the Company’s deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
−Removed: In assessing the need for the valuation allowance, management considers, among other things, projections of future taxable income and
−Removed: ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.
−Removed: If the Company determines that sufficient negative evidence exists, then it will
−Removed: consider recording a valuation allowance against a portion or all of the deferred tax assets in that jurisdiction.
−Removed: If, after recording
−Removed: a valuation allowance, the Company’s projections of future taxable income and other positive evidence considered in evaluating
−Removed: the need for a valuation allowance prove, with the benefit of hindsight, to be inaccurate, it could prove to be more difficult to support
−Removed: the realization of its deferred tax assets.
−Removed: As a result, an additional valuation allowance could be required, which would have an adverse
−Removed: impact on its effective income tax rate and results.
−Removed: Conversely, if, after recording a valuation allowance, the Company determines that
−Removed: sufficient positive evidence exists in the jurisdiction in which the valuation allowance was recorded, it may reverse a portion or all
−Removed: of the valuation allowance in that jurisdiction.
−Removed: In such situations, the adjustment made to the deferred tax asset would have a favorable
−Removed: impact on its effective income tax rate and results in the period such determination was made.
−Removed: Per Share of Common Stock
−Removed: Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”.
−Removed: Basic loss per share is computed
−Removed: by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
−Removed: Diluted loss per share is computed
−Removed: similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would
−Removed: have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
−Removed: earnings per share excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
−Removed: and Contingencies
−Removed: Company has adopted ASC Topic 450 “Contingencies” subtopic 20, in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to
−Removed: loss contingencies.
−Removed: Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies are accrued by a charge to income when information available
−Removed: before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued indicates that it is probable that an asset had been impaired or
−Removed: a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
−Removed: Legal expenses
−Removed: associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred.
−Removed: If a loss contingency is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of
−Removed: the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably possible that a material loss could be incurred.
−Removed: Foreign-currency

−Removed: rates when cash in foreign currency is converted into New Taiwan dollars, or when foreign-currency receivables or payables are settled,
−Removed: are credited or charged to income in the year of conversion or settlement.
−Removed: On the balance sheet dates, the balances of foreign-currency
−Removed: assets and liabilities are restated at the prevailing exchange rates and the resulting differences are charged to current income except
−Removed: for those foreign currencies denominated investments in shares of stock where such differences are accounted for as translation adjustments
−Removed: under the Statements of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit).
−Removed: accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries in Taiwan were maintained, and their financial statements were expressed, in New Taiwan
−Removed: Dollar (“NT$”).
−Removed: Such financial statements were translated into U.S.
−Removed: Dollars (“$” or “USD”) in accordance
−Removed: ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”, with the NT$ as the functional currency.
−Removed: According to the Statement, all assets and
−Removed: liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate, stockholder’s deficit are translated at the historical rates and income
−Removed: statement items are translated at an average exchange rate for the period.
−Removed: The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other
−Removed: comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit).

−Removed: conversion feature that is not clearly and closely related to the host contract, will no longer be allocated between debt and equity
−Removed: This modification will reduce the issue discount and result in less non-cash interest expense in financial statements.

−Removed: March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.
−Removed: This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance
−Removed: for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.
−Removed: ASU also enhances the disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing
−Removed: financial difficulty.
−Removed: In addition, the ASU amends the guidance on vintage disclosures to require entities to disclose current period
−Removed: gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of ASC 326-20.
−Removed: is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
