2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2018 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent periods or for the entire year. The balance sheet on December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017 as included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and entities controlled through VIE agreements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted the new accounting standard, ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all the related amendments (new revenue standard) to all contracts using the modified retrospective method beginning on January 1, 2018. The adoption will not result in an adjustment to the retained earnings as of December 31, 2017. The comparative information will not be restated and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of the new revenue standard will have no impact on either reported sales to customers or net earnings. The Company will continue to recognize revenue from product sales as goods are shipped or delivered to the customer, as control of goods occurs at the same time.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that any recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.

 

3. Inventories

 

Inventories consisted of the following:

 

    September 30,

4. Mortgage payable

 

The Company entered into a mortgage loan from a bank in the principle amount of $2,040,000 on January 9, 2017, of which $51,000 is interest free and the balance of $1,989,000 bears an annual interest rate of 3.96%. The loan has a ten year term with monthly installments of $12,274 including interest. The final payment of approximately $1,224,000 including interest will be made on January 15, 2027. The mortgage loan is collateralized by the Company’s land and building in the United States.

 

Principal payments on mortgage payable are due as follows:

 

Year ending December 31:      
2018   $ 17,775  
2019     72,697  
2020     75,466  
2021     78,757  
2022     81,978  
Thereafter     1,582,178  
    $ 1,908,851  

 

5. Equity Incentive Plan

 

On January 5, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) adopted the Jakroo Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan was adopted to retain and provide incentives for employees, officers and directors, and to align stockholder and employee interests. The participants of the Plan include the Company’s employees who were previously determined by the Board of Directors.

 

On January 5, 2017, the Company signed stock option agreements with certain participants and granted options thereunder to purchase a total of 3,492,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) to such participants. The vesting period of the stock options was four years starting from the date of grant. The exercise price is $0.17 per share. These options will expire ten years from the date of grant, subject to earlier termination as set forth in the Plan and the option agreement.

 

On August 16, 2017, the Company granted stock options under the Plan to two independent directors to purchase an aggregate of 480,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.25 per share, which vested immediately. These options will be exercisable for a period of five years commencing six months from the date of grant on a cashless exercise basis.

 

The Company assessed the fair value of the total granted stock options on the grant date using a Black-Scholes Stock Option Pricing Model. Significant assumptions used in calculating the fair value of options are as follows:

 

  Expected volatility 54.00% ~ 68.58%;
     
  Risk-free interest rate 0.83% ~ 1.24%;
     
  Expected term (year) 4 ~ 5;
     
  Exercise price $0.17 ~ $0.25.

 

The estimated fair value of the total granted stock options on the grant date was $507,649, among which $56,509 was recorded in the expense of year 2017 and $451,140 is being amortized over 48 months period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, total amortization of stock-based compensation expense was $84,354 and $83,105, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, total amortization of stock-based compensation expenses was $28,430 and $28,431, respectively.

Forfeited or exercised     (218,250 )     0.17  
Non-vested at September 30, 2018     1,527,750     $ 0.17  

 

On September 1, 2018, an employee of the Company voluntarily resigned her position. An option to purchase an aggregate of 436,500 shares granted to the employee in January 2017. As of the last day of her employment, 218,250 shares were vested. The vested shares can be exercised by the employee during the period from September 1, 2018 to November 30, 2018. The remaining unvested 218,250 options were forfeited.

 

6. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Common Share Issuances

 

In August 2018, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock to one investor for cash consideration of $50,000.

 

7. Provision for Income Taxes

 

The Company has operations in four tax jurisdictions - the United States, China, Canada and Austria.

 

The Company’s U.S. operations are subject to income tax according to U.S. tax law.

 

The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017 and introduced significant changes to U.S. income tax law. Effective in 2018, the Tax Act reduces the U.S. statutory corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings and certain related-party payments, which are referred to as the global intangible low-taxed income tax and the base erosion tax, respectively. The Tax Act requires the Company to pay U.S. income taxes on accumulated foreign subsidiary earnings not previously subject to U.S. income tax at a rate of 15.5% to the extent of foreign cash and certain other net current assets and 8% on the remaining earnings. The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured to reflect the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, resulting in a deferred tax expense of $13,487 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This expense is attributable to the Company being in a net deferred tax asset position at the time of remeasurement. This amount can be seen on the rate reconciliation as an adjustment to deferred tax asset.

 

The Company’s Chinese operations are subject to Chinese tax at a statutory rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments. In addition, Rider Sportsfashion (Langfang) Limited, the Company’s Chinese subsidiary controlled through VIE agreements, is subject to 15% of income tax rate from 2017 to 2019.

 

The Company’s Canadian operation is subject to a 26% profit tax based on its taxable net profit in Canada.

 

The Company’s Austria subsidiary is subject to a 25% profit tax based on its taxable net profit in Austria.

The reconciliation of income tax at the U.S. statutory rate of 21% and 35% in 2018 and 2017, to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:

The Company had approximately $488,000 net operating loss carryforwards available in the U.S., China, and Austria to reduce future taxable income which will begin to expire from 2037 for U.S. tax purposes and from 2022 for China’s income tax purpose. Of the total of net operating loss of $488,000, approximately $399,000 was incurred by our company in Austria since it started business in early 2016. The net operating loss of the Company’s wholly-foreign owned Chinese subsidiary (“WFOE”) could be carried forward for a period of not more than five years from the year of the initial loss pursuant to relevant Chinese tax laws and regulations. The net operating loss from the Company’s Austrian operations can be carried forward with no time limit from the year of the initial loss pursuant to relevant Austria tax laws and regulations. Management believes that, except for Rider Sportsfashion LLC (the Company’s U.S. subsidiary), it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets cannot be utilized in the future because there will not be significant future earnings from the entity which generated the net operating loss. Therefore, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets for all periods presented except for the operating loss occurred by Rider Sportsfashion LLC in the year ended December 31, 2017. Accordingly, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $nil as of September 30, 2018, and $42,235 as of December 31, 2017.

 

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits which would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods and does not believe that there will be any significant increases or decreases of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. No interest or penalties relating to income tax matters have been imposed on the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and no provision for interest and penalties is deemed necessary as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Overview

 

We specialize in the design, manufacture and direct sale of customized technical endurance apparel for the cycling, triathlon, running and Nordic skiing markets across Asia, Europe and North America. Our made-to-order, just-in-time (“JIT”) process vertically integrates design, sales and distribution of sporting apparel products.

 

The chart below illustrates the Company’s current organizational structure:

For the purpose of streamlining its manufacturing operations in China, Rider Sportsfashion (LangFang) took over the operations of Dachang Branch and Garment Processing Branch. The deregistration process for these branches was completed in December 2017 and April 2018, respectively.

 

Our global sporting apparel business is currently comprised of three core business units: inline retail, which consists of products produced and sold as part of a collection (“Inline”), OEM contract manufacturing (“OEM”) and custom order. (“Custom Order”). Our Inline, OEM and Custom Order businesses currently account for 16%, 10% and 74%, respectively, of our sales revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, comparing with 15%, 9%, and 76% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

The two primary sales channels for our Inline retail and Custom Order retail business are direct sale and wholesale. Direct sale currently generates 87% of our worldwide sales revenues (84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017). Under the direct sale model, we sell and fulfill our products directly to end users through our Jakroo e-commerce platform. The Jakroo platform allows customers to easily log onto our platform, complete their designs or submit design requests to our Pro designers and place purchase orders. Wholesale represented 13% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 (compared to 16% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017). We act as both retailer and wholesaler of our products through our e-commerce platform as well as through large online retailers such as TMall in China. Sales through both channels are executed with payments made directly to us online prior to the production and shipment of products.

 

In order to target customers in major markets, we have established sales offices in the United States, Canada, Austria, and China that provide localized sales, marketing and customer service support to our regional markets. As of the date of the report, we have approximately 183 employees worldwide.

 

The purchase of our 6,300 square feet U.S. headquarters facility in Pleasanton, California in the first quarter of 2017 was the first step in further strengthening our sales, marketing and innovation teams. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our design team created 20,917 custom designs, compared to 19,173 custom designs during the same period in 2017, representing a 9% increase in customer design requests. We continue to invest in our 3D design workflows in order to gain greater efficiencies and to improve the end-user experience. Site visits across our .com, .ca and .eu domains rose modestly during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period last year. The slightly lower rate of increase of site visits can be attributed to changes in Google’s search algorithms. However, despite this, the quality of our leads has improved, leading to stronger conversion to sale rates. Overall the continual increase in leads can be attributed, in part, to our investments in athlete and high profile team sponsorships, and user experience improvements made to our websites beginning from the latter half of 2017.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, our new customer acquisition decreased 6% while our number of returning customers increased 35%, compared to the same quarter last year. This resulted in an aggregate revenue growth of 18% across our North American and European operating segments compared to the same period last year. We attribute the revenue growth to the introduction of new product, increased customer loyalty, improvements to our lead conversion funnel and our ability to consistently maintain a delivery timeline of 2 weeks or less.

 

We lease a 64,000 square feet manufacturing facility at the border of Beijing and Hebei province in China. The facility has annual capacity to produce 500,000 jerseys and manufactures all of our products. We consider our centralized manufacturing facility both a competitive advantage and a key driver behind our ability to maintain exceptionally high levels of quality and industry leading short delivery times. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we processed approximately 17,000 micro-production lots with a total production quantity of 43,000 units, compared to 15,000 lots and 39,000 units respectively during the same period 2017. 100% of these products were produced and shipped in 14 days or less and 51% were produced and shipped in 7 days or less for the third quarter 2018 compared to 100% of products produced in 14 days or less and 50% produced and shipped in 7 days or less during the same period of 2017. During both fiscal periods, the average production lot quantity of 3pcs remained constant.

We believe there is an increasing recognition of the health benefits of an active lifestyle through cycling, triathlon and running. We believe this trend provides us with an expanding potential consumer base for our products. We also believe there continues to be an increasing number of individuals participating in cycling, triathlon and running activities, thus creating an increased demand for athletic apparel from leisure, pre-athlete and amateur participants. We plan to continue to grow our business over the long term through increased sales of our apparel via our made-to-order, JIT process, and our expansion in international markets. 

 

Although we believe these trends will facilitate our growth, we also face potential challenges that could limit our ability to take advantage of these opportunities, including, among other things, the risk of general economic or market conditions that could affect consumer spending and the financial health of our retail customers. In addition, we may not be able to effectively manage our growth as our business becomes a larger and more complex global business. We may not consistently be able to anticipate consumer preferences or develop new and innovative products that meet changing consumer needs and preferences in a timely manner. Furthermore, our industry is very competitive, and competition pressures could cause us to reduce the prices of our products or otherwise affect our profitability.

Revenues

 

Net revenues increased approximately $1.52 million, or 19.6%, to $9.29 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $7.77 million in the same period in 2017. Net revenues by business units are summarized below:

 

    Nine Months Ended September 30,  
    2018     2017     $ Change     % Change  
OEM   $ 936,462     $ 680,628     $ 255,834       37.59  
INLINE     1,488,445       1,171,788       316,657       27.02  
CUSTOM ORDERS     6,869,737       5,916,624       953,113       16.11  
Total Revenues   $ 9,294,644     $ 7,769,040     $ 1,525,604       19.64  

 

While the increase in net revenue was driven by increases across all business units, our Custom Order and OEM business units’ revenues increased $953,113 or 16.1% and $255,834 or 37.6%, respectively. Revenue growth of Custom Order and OEM business units accounted for approximately 79.2% of the total revenue growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Inline revenue increased $316,657, or 27.0%, to $1,488,445 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $1,171,788 during the same period in 2017. We attribute these results largely to our investments in customer acquisition and retention programs implemented, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017.

 

Cost of revenues

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our total cost of revenues amounted to approximately $3.91 million or 42.03% of total revenues, as compared to approximately $3.26 million or 41.96% of total revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The slight increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to an increase of outbound freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers as cost of goods sold.

 

Gross profit

 

Gross profit increased $879,060, or 19.5%, to $5.39 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $4.51 million for the same period in 2017. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, or gross margin, decreased slightly to 57.97% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 58.04% in the same period in 2017. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by an increase in cost of revenue by less than 1% to 42.03% comparing to 41.96% during the same period in 2017.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist of costs related to marketing, selling, new product development, auditing and legal services. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $412,700, or 10.6%, to $4.32 million from $3.91 million for the same period in 2017. The changes were primarily attributable to the follows:

 

  We continue to invest in our sales offices in the U.S., Europe, Canada, and China to strengthen our customer service and increase brand awareness through advertising, promotion, and sponsorship in the respective markets.
     
  We continue to invest in product development and technology infrastructure.

 

12
 

 

  We continue to invest in our employees, the most valuable assets of the company. In addition to the share based-compensation plan, we made a strategic hire to lead our Product R&D in the fourth quarter of 2017 and implemented a more competitive performance based compensation plan beginning January 1, 2018.
     
  In 2017, we relocated our U.S. office to the newly purchased property. The related expenses, including interest, depreciation, property tax, and others, increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared with the same period in 2017.

 

As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 46.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from 50.3% for the same period in 2017. The revenue growth in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 led to an improved ratio between the selling, general and administrative expenses and the net revenue.

 

Provision for income taxes

 

Provision for income taxes increased $50,439, or 23.7%, to $263,162 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $212,723 during the same period in 2017. The increase was line with the increase of $408,367, or 67.5%, in the income before taxes to $1.01 million from $604,654 for the same period in 2017. Our effective tax rate was 25.98% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to 35.2% for the same period in 2017.

 

Other comprehensive income (loss)/Foreign currency translation adjustment

 

 Other comprehensive income (loss)/foreign currency translation adjustment changed $356,250 to a loss of $207,034 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from an income of $149,216 in the same period of 2017. These changes were primarily attributable to the decrease in the US Dollar to RMB exchange rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.

Revenues

 

Net revenues increased $376,053, or 14.6%, to $2.96 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $2.58 million in the same period in 2017. Net revenues by business units are summarized below:

 

    Three Months Ended September 30,  
    2018     2017     $ Change     % Change  
OEM   $ 163,371     $ 116,516     $ 46,855       40.21 %
INLINE     578,319       434,379       143,940       33.14 %
CUSTOM     2,219,120       2,033,862       185,258       9.11 %
Total Revenues   $ 2,960,810     $ 2,584,757     $ 376,053       14.55 %

 

The increase in net revenue was the effect of an increase of Inline and Custom Orders revenue of $143,940 and $185,258, respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. We attribute these results largely to our investments in customer acquisition and retention programs implemented, beginning from the fourth quarter of 2017. OEM revenue increased $46,855, or 40.21%, to $163,371 from $116,516 for the same period in 2017.

 

Cost of revenues

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, our total cost of revenues amounted to approximately $1.16 million or approximately 39.2% of total revenues, as compared to approximately $1.04 million or approximately 40.1% of total revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenue was primarily due to an increase of outbound freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers as cost of goods sold.

 

Gross profit

 

Gross profit increased $251,646, or 16.2%, to $1.80 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $1.55 million for the same period in 2017. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues, or gross margin, increased by less than 1% to 60.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 60.0% in the same period in 2017. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily driven by a decrease in cost of revenue by approximately 0.9% to 39.2% compared to 40.1% during the same period in 2017. 

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased $22,626, or 1.6%, to $1.46 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $1.43 million in same period of 2017. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 49.2% in the third quarter of 2018 from 55.4% in the same period in 2017. The decrease in percentage was primarily attributable to an increase of $376,053, or 14.6%, in net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 while selling, general and administrative expenses are relatively stable for the periods.

Provision for income taxes

 

Provision for income taxes increased $59,960 to $90,036 in the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $30,076 during the same period in 2017. The increase was line with the increase of $210,930, or 182.7%, in the income before taxes to $326,405 from $115,475 for the same period in 2017. Our effective tax rate was 28% in the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to 26% in the same period of 2017.

 

Other comprehensive income (loss)/Foreign currency translation adjustment

 

Other comprehensive income (loss)/foreign currency translation adjustment changed $190,772 to a loss of $127,627 in the three months ended September 30, 2018 from an income of $63,145 during the same period in 2017. These changes were primarily attributable to the decrease in the US Dollar to RMB exchange rate in the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.

Net revenues in our North America operating segment increased $946,351, or 17.1%, to $6.47 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $5.53 million in the same period of 2017. It was primarily due to the increase of revenue of our Custom Order business. Net revenues in China increased $502,086, or 25.9%, to $2.44 million in nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $1.94 million in the same period of 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase of revenue from our OEM business in China. It is our strategy to shift our capacity from OEM with lower margin to higher margin business unit Custom Orders. Revenue generated from the European market showed an increase of $77,167, or 25.2%, to $383,558 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $306,391 in the same period of 2017. During the next three months, as a result of divestment in our sponsored team partnerships and transition into the slower fall and winter seasons we expect revenues to remain at par or at a slight decline with the same period of 2017.

 

Income (loss) before income taxes by segment is summarized below:

 

    Nine Months Ended September 30,  
    2018     2017     $ Change     % Change  
North America   $ 501,183     $ 391,922     $ 109,261       27.88  
China     566,895       308,478       258,417       83.77  
Europe     (55,057 )     (95,746 )     40,689       (42.50 )
Total income before income taxes   $ 1,013,021     $ 604,654     $ 408,367       67.54  

 

Our North America operating segment shows an increase of operating income of $109,261, or 27.9%, to $501,183 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $391,922 in the same period of 2017. The change in the operating income was primarily driven by the following:

 

  An increase in net revenue of $946,351, or 17.1%, for this segment in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017;
     
  Expansion of our sales team in North America; and

Our China operating segment showed an increase of operating income of $258,417, or 83.8%, to $566,895 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $308,478 in the same period of 2017. This was mainly due to the increase of OEM orders and Inline orders and improvement of production efficiency leading to lower average production costs per unit.

 

Our Europe business segment showed a decrease of the operating loss of $40,689, or 42.5%, to $55,057 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from a $95,746 operating loss in the same period in 2017. Our revenue generated by the European market has continued to rise and generated an increase in gross profit which has led to less loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The reduction in operating losses for the period was primarily due to an increase of revenue, better marketing strategy with lower discount to customers and the termination of our sponsorship agreement with a continental cycling team in Austria.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash requirements have principally been for working capital and capital expenditures. We fund our working capital, inventory and capital investments from cash flows from operating activities and cash and cash equivalents on hand. Our working capital requirements generally reflect the growth in our business. Our capital investments have included purchasing factory machinery, leasehold improvements for our offices and factory, land and building, and making investments and improvements in information technology systems.

 

We believe our cash, cash equivalents on hand and cash from operations are adequate to meet our liquidity needs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. Although we believe we have adequate sources of liquidity over the long term, an economic recession, a slow growth period, a decrease in demand for our products, or the need for liquidity to engage in strategic opportunities could adversely affect our business and liquidity or increase our need for liquidity. If and when needed, no assurances can be given that funding will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, instability in or a tightening of the capital markets could adversely affect our ability to obtain additional capital, on terms acceptable to us or at all, to grow our business.

 

Cash Flows

 

The following table presents the major components of net cash flows used in and provided by operating, investing and financing activities for the periods presented:

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

 

    Nine Months Ended September 30,  
    2018     2017  
             
Net cash provided by (used in):                
Operating activities   $ 982,572     $ 263,108  
Investing activities     (337,226 )     (2,534,156 )
Financing activities     (2,066 )     2,119,943

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents   $ 497,064     $ (51,056

 

Operating Activities

 

Operating activities consisted primarily of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items. Adjustments to net income for non-cash items included depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and deferred taxes. In addition, operating cash flows included the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities, principally inventories, accounts receivable, income taxes payable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, advance from customers, and accrued expenses.

Cash flows provided by operating activities increased $719,464, or 273.4%, to $982,572 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $263,108 of cash flows provided by operating activities during the same period in 2017. The increase in cash from operating activities was due to increased net cash flows from operating assets and liabilities of $311,063, an increase in net income of $357,928, and an increase resulting from adjustments to net income for non-cash items, which increased $50,473 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities decreased approximately $2.20 million, or 86.7%, to $337,226 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $2.53 million in the same period in 2017, primarily due to lower capital expenditure. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, total capital expenditure was primarily used for a purchase of land and building in the U.S. in the amount of $2.61 million offset by the repayment of a loan received from an officer in the amount $74,198 and $3,022 proceeds received from sale of equipment.

 

Total capital expenditure was $337,226 and $2.53 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Financing Activities

 

Financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 consisted primarily of $97,009 of proceeds received from related parties, a mortgage loan of $2.04 million for the purchase of land and building in the U.S. and repayment of the mortgage of $62,002. The Company also received cash of $44,936 from issuances of common stock in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

The Company’s repayment of its mortgage loan was $52,066 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $62,002 for the same period in 2017. The company also received cash of $50,000 from issuances of common stock in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

In connection with various contracts and agreements, we have agreed to indemnify counterparties against certain third party claims relating to the infringement of intellectual property rights and other items. Generally, such indemnification obligations do not apply in situations in which our counterparties are grossly negligent, engage in willful misconduct or act in bad faith. Based on our historical experience and the estimated probability of future loss, we have determined the fair value of such indemnifications is not material to our financial position or results of operations. 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issues by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that any recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are a smaller reporting company, and therefore, we are not required to provide information required by this Item of Form 10-Q.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that is designed to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedure include, without limitations, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

 

In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, an evaluation was completed by our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018. Based on that evaluation, these officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our control have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

 

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

On January 12, 2017, we filed a lawsuit against the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board of State Administration For Industry & Commerce of the People’s Republic of China (the “Defendant”) with the Beijing Intellectual Property Court, requesting revocation of the verdict (Shangping Zi [2016] .0000098608) made by the Defendant concerning the No. 11757369 “捷酷 JAKROO” trademark’s invalid declaration application.

On January 12, 2017, the Beijing Intellectual Property Court accepted the case. Up until now, we have not received notice of a hearing.

Other than the above, we are not presently a party to any pending lawsuits or claims.
