The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820, which require us to determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using a specified fair-value hierarchy. The objective of the fair-value measurement of our financial instruments is to reflect the hypothetical amounts at which we could sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Level 1 value is based on observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 value is based on inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 values are driven by models with one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers that are unobservable.
Anteya Technology Corp (Anteya) is a private company incorporated in Taiwan. The equity interest held by the Company is 13.68% on March 31, 2016.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.

Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
Overview
(a)Business Overview.
ColorStars Group (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”) was initially incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada on January 21, 2005. On November 3, 2005, we converted to a Nevada corporation. We are a vertically integrated lighting company that develops light emitting diodes (“LED”) based lighting products for general consumer applications as well as LED lighting products for professional lighting installations. Our LED lighting application development activity ranges from LED packaging to optical lens and heat management, from retrofit LED lamps and bulbs to lighting fixtures designed for general and special lighting applications.
(b)Significant Business Transactions Overview.
On July 24, 2005, we entered into an acquisition agreement with ColorStars, Inc., a Taiwanese corporation (“ColorStars Taiwan”), pursuant to which, on February 14, 2006, the shareholders of ColorStars Taiwan were issued shares of our Company in exchange for their shares of ColorStars Taiwan. This resulted in ColorStars Taiwan becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Specifically, for each share of common stock outstanding of ColorStars Taiwan (1,500,000 shares of ColorStars Taiwan were issued and outstanding at such time), 20 shares of our common stock were issued in exchange for each such share (the aggregate of 30,000,000 shares of our common stock).
On March 20, 2009, ColorStars Taiwan acquired 50.4% of the outstanding common shares of Fin-Core Corporation, a Taiwanese corporation (“Fin-Core”) for a cash consideration of US $468,262. This resulted in Fin-Core becoming a subsidiary of ours. The purchase price for the common shares of Fin-Core was determined through private negotiations between the parties and was not based upon any specific criteria of value. Fin-Core is principally engaged in the design and manufacturing of thermal management devices, the design and manufacturing of electrical and lighting devices and trade, and the import and export of electrical and lighting devices.
14 |
On July 7, 2010, ColorStars Taiwan sold 30.4% of its common shares of Fin-Core to Meiloon Industrial Co., Ltd., a publicly traded company on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, for a cash offering of US $429,000. As a result of this transaction, ColorStars Taiwan owned only 20% of the outstanding common shares of Fin-Core.
On August 5, 2009, ColorStars Taiwan acquired a 51% equity interest in Jun Yee Industrial Co., Ltd., a Taiwanese corporation (“Jun Yee”) for a cash consideration of US $536,000. The purchase price for the equity interest in Jun Yee was determined through private negotiations between the parties and was not based upon any specific criteria of value. Upon acquiring the equity interest, Jun Yee became a subsidiary of ours. The principal activity of Jun Yee is the manufacturing of LED light.
On November 26, 2010, ColorStars Taiwan entered into two related stock purchase agreements whereby ColorStars Taiwan sold all of its shares of Jun Yee common stock to Mr. Ming-Chun Tung and Ms. Ming-Fong Tung. Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement entered into with Mr. Ming-Chun Tung, ColorStars Taiwan sold 265,000 shares of its Jun Yee common stock to Mr. Ming-Chun Tung at a price per share of NTD $23 (USD $0.76) for a total purchase price of NTD $6,095,000 (USD $200,427). Furthermore, pursuant to the stock purchase agreement entered into with Ms. Ming-Fong Tung, ColorStars Taiwan sold 500,000 shares of its Jun Yee common stock to Ms. Ming-Fong Tung at a price per share of NTD $23 (USD $0.76) for a total purchase price of NTD $11,500,000 (USD $378,165). As a result of the transactions consummated above, Jun Yee is no longer our subsidiary.
In October 2011, Fin-Core decided to increase its capital by issuing 3,000,000 new shares at par value of NTD10 per share.

Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2015
Net Sales.Net sales decreased to $122,009 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $192,945 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in sales was due to global competition and lack of new products launching this period.
Cost of Goods Sold.Cost of goods sold decreased to $82,051 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $134,377 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in cost of goods sold was primarily due to the decrease in overall sales.
Gross Profit.Gross profit decreased to $39,958 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $58,568 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to improved operating efficiencies.
Gross Profit Percentage.Gross profit percentage increased to 32.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from 30.35% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily due to high profit items movement during the period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $108,004 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $132,916 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily related to closing the California sales office.
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development (R&D) expenses remained constant at $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The lack of research and development expenditure was due to overall lack of profitability.
Depreciation and Amortization.Depreciation and amortization decreased to $8,481 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $8,990 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was mainly due to the decrease of asset values over time.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $2,272 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $3,229 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in interest expense was due to foreign exchange conversion and lower interest rate for the period.

The net loss was primarily a result of less revenue for the period along with the profit margin not being enough to cover the operating cost.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of LED devices and systems. Although our financial results are mainly dependent on sales, general and administrative, compensation and other operating expenses, our financial results have also been dependent on the level of market adoption of LED technology as well as general economic conditions.
Lighting products remained relatively static for 50 years until recently, when lighting became one of the last major markets to be transformed substantially by new technology. Because LED technology remains an emerging and expensive technology that has only recently become more economically viable, market adoption has been slow. Given the recent economic downturn, liquidity has been constrained forcing institutions and individuals to substantially reduce capital spending to focus only on critical path expenditures. LED lighting products have been a discretionary rather than mandatory investment, and as a result, sales of our devices and systems have been negatively impacted. We believe that as the global economy grows and provides institutions and individuals with greater liquidity, sales of our devices and systems will increase.
Increased market awareness of the benefits of LED lighting, increasing energy prices and the social movement influencing individuals and institutions towards greater investment in energy-efficient products and services will have, we believe, an increasingly positive impact on our sales in the future. Additionally, we intend to utilize our strategic partnerships to help us reduce the component and production costs of our devices and systems in order to offer them at competitive prices. Further, we believe our ability to provide attractive financing options to our clients with respect to the purchase of our devices and systems will positively affect our sales.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.During the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash provided in operating activities was $(36,657) compared with $54,632 used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The cash flow provided in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily the result of the Company’s increase in accounts payable payments and operating net loss. The cash flow used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily the result of the Company incurring a net loss, an increase of accounts receivables and a decrease in account payables
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash used in investing activities was $-0- compared with $-0- used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash used in financing activities was $-0- compared with $-0- used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
As of the quarter ending March 31, 2016, we anticipate that our available cash and cash resources from expected revenues will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.
As of the quarter ending March 31, 2016, we have an outstanding short-term loan with Bank SinoPac of Taiwan. We entered into one written, short-term loan agreements with this bank on February 24, 2016. The loan is secured by real property of Tsui-Ling Lee, spouse of Wei-Rur Chen, our president and CEO.
