−Removed: change on the Company’s revenue during all periods presented.
−Removed: Pursuant to ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue
−Removed: when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects
−Removed: to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
−Removed: To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines is within
−Removed: the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps:
−Removed: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer;
−Removed: (ii) identify the performance
−Removed: obligations in the contract;
−Removed: (iii) determine the transaction price;
−Removed: (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
−Removed: in the contract;
−Removed: and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
−Removed: The Company only applies the five-step
−Removed: model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration the Company is entitled to in exchange for the
−Removed: goods or services the Company transfers to the customers.
−Removed: At inception of the contract, once the contract is determined to be within the
−Removed: scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract, determines those that are performance obligations,
−Removed: and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct.
−Removed: The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price
−Removed: that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
−Removed: The following are examples of when the Company
−Removed: recognizes revenue based on the types of payments the Company receives.
−Removed: Collaborative Revenues - The Company recognizes
−Removed: collaborative revenues generated through collaborative research, development and/or commercialization agreements.
−Removed: The terms of these agreements
−Removed: typically include payment to the Company related to one or more of the following:
−Removed: non-refundable upfront license fees, development and
−Removed: commercial milestones, partial or complete reimbursement of research and development costs, and royalties on net sales of licensed products.
−Removed: Each type of payments results in collaborative revenues except for revenues from royalties on net sales of licensed products, which are
−Removed: classified as royalty revenues.
−Removed: To date, the Company has not received any royalty revenues.
−Removed: Revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of
−Removed: a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or service to the collaboration partners.
−Removed: As part of the accounting for these arrangements,
−Removed: the Company applies judgment to determine whether the performance obligations are distinct, and develop assumptions in determining the
−Removed: stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation identified in the collaboration agreements.
−Removed: To determine the stand-alone
−Removed: selling price, the Company relies on assumptions which may include forecasted revenues, development timelines, reimbursement rates for
−Removed: R&D personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success.
−Removed: The Company had multiple deliverables under the
−Removed: collaborative agreements, including deliverables relating to grants of technology licenses, regulatory and clinical development, and marketing
−Removed: Estimation of the performance periods of the Company’s deliverables requires the use of management’s judgment.
−Removed: Significant factors considered in management’s evaluation of the estimated performance periods include, but are not limited to,
−Removed: the Company’s experience in conducting clinical development, regulatory and manufacturing activities.
−Removed: The Company reviews the estimated
−Removed: duration of its performance periods under its collaborative agreements on an annually basis, and makes any appropriate adjustments on
−Removed: a prospective basis.
−Removed: Future changes in estimates of the performance period under its collaborative agreements could impact the timing
−Removed: of future revenue recognition.
−Removed: (i) Non-refundable upfront payments
−Removed: If a license to the Company’s intellectual
−Removed: property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in an arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue
−Removed: from the related non-refundable upfront payments based on the relative standalone selling price prescribed to the license compared to
−Removed: the total selling price of the arrangement.
−Removed: The revenue is recognized when the license is transferred to the collaboration partners and
−Removed: the collaboration partners are able to use and benefit from the license.
−Removed: To date, the receipt of non-refundable upfront fees was solely
−Removed: for the compensation of past research efforts and contributions made by the Company before the collaborative agreements entered into and
−Removed: it does not relate to any future obligations and commitments made between the Company and the collaboration partners in the collaborative
−Removed: (ii) Milestone payments
−Removed: The Company is eligible to receive milestone payments
−Removed: under the collaborative agreement with collaboration partners based on achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial
−Removed: Management evaluated the nature of the events triggering these contingent payments, and concluded that these events fall into
−Removed: two categories:
−Removed: (a) events which involve the performance of the Company’s obligations under the collaborative agreement with collaboration
−Removed: partners, and (b) events which do not involve the performance of the Company’s obligations under the collaborative agreement with
−Removed: collaboration partners.
−Removed: The former category of milestone payments consists
−Removed: of those triggered by development and regulatory activities in the territories specified in the collaborative agreements.
−Removed: Management concluded
−Removed: that each of these payments constitute substantive milestone payments.
−Removed: This conclusion was based primarily on the facts that (i) each
−Removed: triggering event represents a specific outcome that can be achieved only through successful performance by the Company of one or more
−Removed: of its deliverables, (ii) achievement of each triggering event was subject to inherent risk and uncertainty and would result in additional
−Removed: payments becoming due to the Company, (iii) each of the milestone payments is non-refundable, (iv) substantial effort is required to complete
−Removed: each milestone, (v) the amount of each milestone payment is reasonable in relation to the value created in achieving the milestone, (vi)
−Removed: a substantial amount of time is expected to pass between the upfront payment and the potential milestone payments, and (vii) the milestone
−Removed: payments relate solely to past performance.
−Removed: Based on the foregoing, the Company recognizes any revenue from these milestone payments in
−Removed: the period in which the underlying triggering event occurs.
−Removed: (iii) Multiple Element Arrangements
−Removed: The Company evaluates multiple element arrangements
−Removed: to determine (1) the deliverables included in the arrangement and (2) whether the individual deliverables represent separate units of
−Removed: accounting or whether they must be accounted for as a combined unit of accounting.
−Removed: This evaluation involves subjective determinations
−Removed: and requires management to make judgments about the individual deliverables and whether such deliverables are separate from other aspects
−Removed: of the contractual relationship.
−Removed: Deliverables are considered separate units of accounting provided that:
−Removed: (i) the delivered item(s) has
−Removed: value to the customer on a standalone basis and (ii) if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s),
−Removed: delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially within its control.
−Removed: In assessing whether an
−Removed: item under a collaboration has standalone value, the Company considers factors such as the research, manufacturing, and commercialization
−Removed: capabilities of the collaboration partner and the availability of the associated expertise in the general marketplace.
−Removed: The Company also
−Removed: considers whether its collaboration partners can use the other deliverable(s) for their intended purpose without the receipt of the remaining
−Removed: element(s), whether the value of the deliverable is dependent on the undelivered item(s), and whether there are other vendors that can
−Removed: provide the undelivered element(s).
−Removed: The Company recognizes arrangement consideration
−Removed: allocated to each unit of accounting when all of the revenue recognition criteria in ASC 606 are satisfied for that particular unit of
−Removed: In the event that a deliverable does not represent a separate unit of accounting, the Company recognizes revenue from the
−Removed: combined unit of accounting over the Company’s contractual or estimated performance period for the undelivered elements, which is
−Removed: typically the term of the Company’s research and development obligations.
−Removed: If there is no discernible pattern of performance or objectively
−Removed: measurable performance measures do not exist, then the Company recognizes revenue under the arrangement on a straight-line basis over
−Removed: the period the Company is expected to complete its performance obligations.
−Removed: Conversely, if the pattern of performance in which the service
−Removed: is provided to the customer can be determined and objectively measurable performance measures exist, then the Company recognizes revenue
−Removed: under the arrangement using the proportional performance method.
−Removed: Revenue recognized is limited to the lesser of the cumulative amount
−Removed: of payments received or the cumulative amount of revenue earned, as determined using the straight-line method or proportional performance
−Removed: method, as applicable, as of the period ending date.
−Removed: At the inception of an arrangement that includes
−Removed: milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether each milestone is substantive and at risk to both parties on the basis of the contingent
−Removed: nature of the milestone.
−Removed: This evaluation includes an assessment of whether:
−Removed: (1) the consideration is commensurate with either the Company’s
−Removed: performance to achieve the milestone or the enhancement of the value of the delivered item(s) as a result of a specific outcome resulting
−Removed: from its performance to achieve the milestone, (2) the consideration relates solely to past performance and (3) the consideration is reasonable
−Removed: relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms within the arrangement.
−Removed: The Company evaluates factors such as the scientific, clinical,
−Removed: regulatory, commercial, and other risks that must be overcome to achieve the particular milestone and the level of effort and investment
−Removed: required to achieve the particular milestone in making this assessment.
−Removed: There is considerable judgment involved in determining whether
−Removed: a milestone satisfies all of the criteria required to conclude that a milestone is substantive.
−Removed: Milestones that are not considered substantive
−Removed: are recognized as earned if there are no remaining performance obligations or over the remaining period of performance, assuming all other
−Removed: revenue recognition criteria are met.
−Removed: (iv) Royalties and Profit Sharing Payments
−Removed: Under the collaborative agreement with the collaboration
−Removed: partners, the Company is entitled to receive royalties on sales of products, which is at certain percentage of the net sales.
−Removed: recognizes revenue from these events based on the revenue recognition criteria set forth in ASC 606.
−Removed: Based on those criteria, the Company
−Removed: considers these payments to be contingent revenues, and recognizes them as revenue in the period in which the applicable contingency is
−Removed: Revenues Derived from Research and Development
−Removed: Activities Services - Revenues related to research and development and regulatory activities are recognized when the related services
−Removed: or activities are performed, in accordance with the contract terms.
−Removed: The Company typically has only one performance obligation at the inception
−Removed: of a contract, which is to perform research and development services.
−Removed: The Company may also provide its customers with an option to request
−Removed: that the Company provides additional goods or services in the future, such as active pharmaceutical ingredient, API, or IND/NDA/ANDA/510K
−Removed: The Company evaluates whether these options are material rights at the inception of the contract.
−Removed: If the Company determines
−Removed: an option is a material right, the Company will consider the option a separate performance obligation.
−Removed: If the Company is entitled to reimbursement from
−Removed: its customers for specified research and development expenses, the Company accounts for the related services that it provides as separate
−Removed: performance obligations if it determines that these services represent a material right.
−Removed: The Company also determines whether the reimbursement
−Removed: of research and development expenses should be accounted for as revenues or an offset to research and development expenses in accordance
−Removed: with provisions of gross or net revenue presentation.
−Removed: The Company recognizes the corresponding revenues or records the corresponding offset
−Removed: to research and development expenses as it satisfies the related performance obligations.
−Removed: The Company then determines the transaction price
−Removed: by reviewing the amount of consideration the Company is eligible to earn under the contracts, including any variable consideration.
−Removed: the outstanding contracts, consideration typically includes fixed consideration and variable consideration in the form of potential milestone
−Removed: At the start of an agreement, the Company’s transaction price usually consists of the payments made to or by the Company
−Removed: based on the number of full-time equivalent researchers assigned to the project and the related research and development expenses incurred.
−Removed: The Company does not typically include any payments that the Company may receive in the future in its initial transaction price because
−Removed: the payments are not probable.
−Removed: The Company would reassess the total transaction price at each reporting period to determine if the Company
−Removed: should include additional payments in the transaction price.
−Removed: The Company receives payments from its customers
−Removed: based on billing schedules established in each contract.
−Removed: Upfront payments and fees may be recorded as contract liabilities upon receipt
−Removed: or when due, and may require deferral of revenue recognition to a future period until the Company performs its obligations under these
−Removed: arrangements.
−Removed: Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the right of the Company to consideration is unconditional.
−Removed: does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period
−Removed: between payment by the customers and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customers will be one year or less.
−Removed: Property and Equipment
−Removed: Property and equipment is carried at cost net
−Removed: of accumulated depreciation.
−Removed: Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
−Removed: Expenditures that improve the functionality of the related
−Removed: asset or extend the useful life are capitalized.
−Removed: When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related gain or
−Removed: loss is included in operating income.
−Removed: Leasehold improvements are depreciated on the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining
−Removed: lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.
−Removed: Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method, including property and equipment
−Removed: under capital leases, generally based on the following useful lives:
−Removed: Buildings and leasehold improvements
−Removed: Machinery and equipment
−Removed: Office equipment
−Removed: Construction-in-Progress
−Removed: The Company acquires constructions that constructs
−Removed: certain of its fixed assets.
−Removed: All direct and indirect costs that are related to the construction of fixed assets and incurred before the
−Removed: assets are ready for their intended use are capitalized as construction-in-progress.
−Removed: No depreciation is provided in respect of construction-in-progress.
−Removed: Construction in progress is transferred to specific fixed asset items and depreciation of these assets commences when they are ready for
−Removed: their intended use.
−Removed: The Company acquired 20% of the ownership of a certain property and parcel of land owned by Zhonghui, with a view
−Removed: to jointly develop the property into a healthcare center for senior living, long-term care, and medical care in the areas of ABVC’s
−Removed: special interests, such as Ophthalmology, Oncology, and Central Nervous Systems.
−Removed: The plan is to establish a base for the China market
−Removed: and global development of these interests.
−Removed: The Company is a party to a related cooperation agreement with Zhonghui, but is awaiting final
−Removed: asset ownership certification from the Chinese government.
−Removed: Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
−Removed: The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification
−Removed: subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”).
−Removed: ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
−Removed: intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
−Removed: amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
−Removed: The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events
−Removed: and circumstances warrant.
−Removed: Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring
−Removed: losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.
−Removed: Should impairment in value be indicated,
−Removed: the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and
−Removed: ultimate disposition of the asset.
−Removed: ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or
−Removed: the fair value less costs to sell.
−Removed: Long-term Equity Investment
−Removed: The Company acquires the equity investments to
−Removed: promote business and strategic objectives.
−Removed: The Company accounts for non-marketable equity and other equity investments for which the Company
−Removed: does not have control over the investees as:
−Removed: ● Equity method investments when
−Removed: the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee.
−Removed: Its proportionate share of the income
−Removed: or loss is recognized monthly and is recorded in gains (losses) on equity investments.
−Removed: ● Non-marketable cost method
−Removed: investments when the equity method does not apply.
−Removed: Significant judgment is required to identify whether
−Removed: an impairment exists in the valuation of the Company’s non-marketable equity investments, and therefore the Company considers this
−Removed: a critical accounting estimate.
−Removed: Its yearly analysis considers both qualitative and quantitative factors that may have a significant impact
−Removed: on the investee’s fair value.
−Removed: Qualitative analysis of its investments involves understanding the financial performance and near-term
−Removed: prospects of the investee, changes in general market conditions in the investee’s industry or geographic area, and the management
−Removed: and governance structure of the investee.
−Removed: Quantitative assessments of the fair value of its investments are developed using the market
−Removed: and income approaches.
−Removed: The market approach includes the use of comparable financial metrics of private and public companies and recent
−Removed: financing rounds.
−Removed: The income approach includes the use of a discounted cash flow model, which requires significant estimates regarding
−Removed: the investees’ revenue, costs, and discount rates.
−Removed: The Company’s assessment of these factors in determining whether an impairment
−Removed: exists could change in the future due to new developments or changes in applied assumptions.
−Removed: Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
−Removed: The Company’s long-term equity investments
−Removed: are subject to a periodic impairment review.
−Removed: Impairments affect earnings as follows:
−Removed: ● Marketable equity securities
−Removed: include the consideration of general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is below cost, and our ability
−Removed: and intent to hold the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery of value in the foreseeable future.
−Removed: also considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of, and the business outlook for, the investee, which may
−Removed: include industry and sector performance, changes in technology, operational and financing cash flow factors, and changes in the investee’s
−Removed: credit rating.
−Removed: The Company records other-than-temporary impairments on marketable equity securities and marketable equity method investments
−Removed: in gains (losses) on equity investments.
−Removed: Non-marketable equity investments based on the Company’s assessment of the severity and duration of the impairment, and qualitative and quantitative analysis of the operating performance of the investee;
−Removed: adverse changes in market conditions and the regulatory or economic environment;
−Removed: changes in operating structure or management of the investee;
−Removed: additional funding requirements;
−Removed: and the investee’s ability to remain in business.
−Removed: A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that a decrease in value of the investment has occurred that is other than temporary and that shall be recognized even though the decrease in value is in excess of what would otherwise be recognized by application of the equity method.
−Removed: A loss in value of an investment that is other than a temporary decline shall be recognized.
−Removed: Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment.
−Removed: The Company records other-than-temporary impairments for non-marketable cost method investments and equity method investments in gains (losses) on equity investments.
−Removed: Other-than-temporary impairments of equity investments were both $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
−Removed: The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment
−Removed: annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
−Removed: goodwill for impairment, the Company may elect to utilize a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that
−Removed: the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
−Removed: If the qualitative assessment indicates that goodwill impairment
−Removed: is more likely than not, the Company performs a two-step impairment test.
−Removed: The Company tests goodwill for impairment under the two-step
−Removed: impairment test by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of the reporting units.
−Removed: If the fair value is determined
−Removed: to be less than the book value or qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a second step
−Removed: is performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value.
−Removed: The Company estimates the fair value of the reporting units using discounted cash flows.
−Removed: Forecasts of future cash flows are based on our
−Removed: best estimate of future net sales and operating expenses, based primarily on expected category expansion, pricing, market segment share,
−Removed: and general economic conditions.
−Removed: The Company completed the required testing
−Removed: of goodwill for impairment as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and determined that goodwill was impaired because of the current financial
−Removed: condition of the Company and the Company’s inability to generate future operating income without substantial sales volume
−Removed: increases, which are highly uncertain.
−Removed: Furthermore, the Company anticipates future cash flows indicate that the recoverability of
−Removed: goodwill is not reasonably assured.
−Removed: Convertible Notes
−Removed: The Company accounts for the convertible notes
−Removed: issued at a discount, by comparing the principal amount and book value, with the calculation of discounted method.
−Removed: The Company assess
−Removed: the discount per month.
−Removed: The amortization period of the promissory note is 18 months.
−Removed: Research and Development Expenses
−Removed: The Company accounts for the cost of using licensing
−Removed: rights in research and development cost according to ASC Topic 730-10-25-1.
−Removed: This guidance provides that absent alternative future uses
−Removed: the acquisition of product rights to be used in research and development activities must be charged to research and development expenses
−Removed: when incurred.
−Removed: For CDMO business unit, the Company accounts for
−Removed: R&D costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 730, Research and Development (“ASC 730”).
−Removed: Research and development expenses are charged to expense as incurred unless there is an alternative future use in other research and development
−Removed: projects or otherwise.
−Removed: Research and development expenses are comprised of costs incurred in performing research and development activities,
−Removed: including personnel-related costs, facilities-related overhead, and outside contracted services including clinical trial costs, manufacturing
−Removed: and process development costs for both clinical and preclinical materials, research costs, and other consulting services.
−Removed: Non-refundable
−Removed: advance payment for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity
−Removed: has been performed or when the goods have been received rather than when the payment is made.
−Removed: In instances where the Company enters into
−Removed: agreements with third parties to provide research and development services, costs are expensed as services are performed.
−Removed: Post-retirement and post-employment benefits
−Removed: The Company’s subsidiaries in Taiwan adopted
−Removed: the government mandated defined contribution plan pursuant to the Labor Pension Act (the “Act”) in Taiwan.
−Removed: Such labor regulations
−Removed: require that the rate of contribution made by an employer to the Labor Pension Fund per month shall not be less than 6% of the worker’s
−Removed: monthly salaries.
−Removed: Pursuant to the Act, the Company makes monthly contribution equal to 6% of employees’ salaries to the employees’
−Removed: pension fund.
−Removed: The Company has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made.
−Removed: The total amounts for such employee
−Removed: benefits, which were expensed as incurred, were $2,379 and $2,804 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
−Removed: than the above, the Company does not provide any other post-retirement or post-employment benefits.
−Removed: Stock-based Compensation
−Removed: The Company measures expense associated with all
−Removed: employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and recognizes such expense in the consolidated financial statements
−Removed: on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation”.
−Removed: Total employee stock-based compensation expenses were $1,935,755 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
−Removed: The Company accounted for stock-based compensation
−Removed: to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” and FASB ASC Topic 505-50 “Equity-Based
−Removed: Payments to Non-Employees” which requires that the cost of services received from non-employees is measured at fair value at the
−Removed: earlier of the performance commitment date or the date service is completed and recognized over the period the service is provided.
−Removed: non-employee stock-based compensation expenses were $225,740 and $366,489 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
−Removed: Beneficial Conversion Feature
−Removed: From time to time, the Company may issue convertible
−Removed: notes that may contain an imbedded beneficial conversion feature.
−Removed: A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note
−Removed: is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated
−Removed: proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of the warrants, if related
−Removed: warrants have been granted.
−Removed: The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding
−Removed: amount to additional paid in capital.
−Removed: The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective
−Removed: interest method.
−Removed: The Company accounts for income taxes using the
−Removed: asset and liability approach which allows the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets to be based upon the likelihood of realization
−Removed: of tax benefits in future years.
−Removed: Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary
−Removed: differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
−Removed: A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will expire before the Company
−Removed: is able to realize their benefits, or future deductibility is uncertain.
−Removed: Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as
−Removed: a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination
−Removed: being presumed to occur.
−Removed: The evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process.
−Removed: The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not
−Removed: that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigations based on the technical
−Removed: merits of that position.
−Removed: The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount
−Removed: of benefits recognized in the financial statements.
−Removed: A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50
−Removed: percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
−Removed: Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition
−Removed: threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met.
−Removed: Previously recognized tax positions that
−Removed: no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the
−Removed: threshold is no longer satisfied.
−Removed: Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense
−Removed: in the year incurred.
−Removed: No significant penalty or interest relating to income taxes has been incurred for the three months ended March
−Removed: 31, 2024 and 2023.
−Removed: GAAP also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
−Removed: disclosures and transition.
−Removed: On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting
−Removed: Bulletin (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for tax effects of the Tax Act.
−Removed: SAB 118 provides a measurement
−Removed: period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740.
−Removed: In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Act for which the accounting under ASC
−Removed: 740 is complete.
−Removed: To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is
−Removed: able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements.
−Removed: cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of
−Removed: the provision of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Tax Act.
−Removed: While the Company is able to make reasonable
−Removed: estimates of the impact of the reduction in corporate rate and the deemed repatriation transition tax, the final impact of the Tax Act
−Removed: may differ from these estimates, due to, among other things, changes in our interpretations and assumptions, additional guidance that
−Removed: may be issued by the I.R.S., and actions the Company may take.
−Removed: The Company is continuing to gather additional information to determine
−Removed: the final impact.
−Removed: Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets
−Removed: A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the
−Removed: 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
−Removed: allowance, management considers, among other things, projections of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning
−Removed: If the Company determines that sufficient negative evidence exists, then it will consider recording a valuation allowance
−Removed: against a portion or all of the deferred tax assets in that jurisdiction.
−Removed: If, after recording a valuation allowance, the Company’s
−Removed: projections of future taxable income and other positive evidence considered in evaluating the need for a valuation allowance prove, with
−Removed: the benefit of hindsight, to be inaccurate, it could prove to be more difficult to support the realization of its deferred tax assets.
−Removed: As a result, an additional valuation allowance could be required, which would have an adverse impact on its effective income tax rate
−Removed: Conversely, if, after recording a valuation allowance, the Company determines that sufficient positive evidence exists in
−Removed: the jurisdiction in which the valuation allowance was recorded, it may reverse a portion or all of the valuation allowance in that jurisdiction.
−Removed: In such situations, the adjustment made to the deferred tax asset would have a favorable impact on its effective income tax rate and results
−Removed: in the period such determination was made.
−Removed: Loss Per Share of Common Stock
−Removed: The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance
−Removed: with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”.
−Removed: Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average
−Removed: number of common stock outstanding during the period.
−Removed: Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the
−Removed: denominator is increased to include the number of additional common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock
−Removed: equivalents had been issued and if the additional common stock were dilutive.
−Removed: Diluted earnings per share excludes all dilutive potential
−Removed: shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
−Removed: Commitments and Contingencies
−Removed: The Company has adopted ASC Topic 450 “Contingencies”
−Removed: subtopic 20, in determining its accruals and disclosures with respect to loss contingencies.
−Removed: Accordingly, estimated losses from loss contingencies
−Removed: are accrued by a charge to income when information available before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued indicates
−Removed: that it is probable that an assets had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the
−Removed: amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
−Removed: Legal expenses associated with the contingency are expensed as incurred.
−Removed: If a loss contingency
−Removed: is not probable or reasonably estimable, disclosure of the loss contingency is made in the financial statements when it is at least reasonably
−Removed: possible that a material loss could be incurred.
−Removed: Foreign-currency Transactions
−Removed: For the Company’s subsidiaries in Taiwan,
−Removed: the foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars (“NTD”) at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions
−Removed: Gains or losses resulting from the application of different foreign exchange rates when cash in foreign currency is converted into
−Removed: New Taiwan dollars, or when foreign-currency receivables or payables are settled, are credited or charged to income in the year of conversion
−Removed: or settlement.
−Removed: On the balance sheet dates, the balances of foreign-currency assets and liabilities are restated at the prevailing exchange
−Removed: rates and the resulting differences are charged to current income except for those foreign currencies denominated investments in shares
−Removed: of stock where such differences are accounted for as translation adjustments under the Statements of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit).
−Removed: Translation Adjustment
−Removed: The accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries
−Removed: in Taiwan were maintained, and their financial statements were expressed, in New Taiwan Dollar (“NT$”).
−Removed: Such financial statements
−Removed: were translated into U.S.
−Removed: Dollars (“$” or “USD”) in accordance ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”,
−Removed: with the NT$ as the functional currency.
−Removed: According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange
−Removed: rate, shareholder’s deficit are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at an average exchange
−Removed: rate for the period.
−Removed: The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of shareholders’
−Removed: equity (deficit).
−Removed: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
−Removed: In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt
−Removed: - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
