Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE– 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

VIVIC CORP. (the “VIVC”) was established under the corporate laws of the State of Nevada on February 16, 2017. Beginning with a change in management resulting from a change in control of the Company which occurred at the end of 2018, the Company has explored and initiated operations in a number of business areas related to the pleasure boat industry. These included yacht sales, marine tourism, development of electric powered yachts, development and operation of yacht marinas in Asia and the development of a yacht rental and time share service. More recently, the Company determined to focus its efforts on yacht sales in Taiwan and other selected regions throughout the world. The Company is the exclusive distributor of Monte-Fino yachts in Asia and the Middle East and is the non-exclusive distributor in other territories throughout the world for which Monte-Fino has not appointed an exclusive distributor. Monte Fino is a well-known brand owned by Taiwan Kha Shing Yacht Company, one of the leading yacht manufacturers in the world.

The Company’s headquarters are maintained at its branch in the Republic of China (“ROC” or “Taiwan”), Vivic Corp. Taiwan Branch (“Vivic Taiwan”). It is mainly engaged in yacht procurement, sales, and leasing services in Taiwan and other countries.

On July 12, 2023, Vivic Corporation (Hong Kong) Co. Limited (“Vivic Hong Kong”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Yun-Kuang Kung (Mr. “Kung”, son of Shang-Chiai Kung, the Company’s principal shareholder, President and Chief Executive Officer), pursuant to which, Mr. Kung acquired all of the shares of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Guangdong Weiguan Ship Tech Co., Ltd (“Weiguan Ship”). In consideration for its interest in Weiguan Ship, the Company received RMB 1,000 ($137) and the agreement of Mr. Kung to indemnify the Company and its affiliates and hold them harmless from, against and in respect of any and all claims arising out of or related to the business of Weiguan Ship whether arising before or after the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement, whether currently known or unknown, including, without limitation any claims for taxes.

Description of subsidiaries as of June 30, 2024 is as follows:

NamePlace of incorporation and kind of legal entityPrincipal activities and place of operationParticulars of issued/ registered share capitalEffective interest held
Vivic Corporation (Hong Kong) Co., LimitedHong KongHolding company and tourism consultancy service52,000,000 ordinary shares for HK$2,159,440100%
Vivic Corp. Taiwan BranchThe Republic of China (Taiwan)Provision of yacht serviceRegistered: TWD 13,000,000, Paid up: TWD13,000,000100%

VIVC and its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as (the “Company”).

On October 9, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a resolution changing the fiscal year end of the Company to June 30, effective June 30, 2024. Management believes the change will cause the Company’s annual financial statements to more accurately reflect the Company’s performance and facilitate the timely preparation of its periodic reports required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE– 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.

Basis of presentation

These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Use of estimates

Preparing these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of VIVC and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in readily available checking and saving accounts. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and that mature within three months or less from the date of purchase. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.

Credit losses

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The adoption of the credit loss accounting standard has no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of January 1, 2023.

The Company’s account receivables and other receivables in the balance sheet are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. As the Company has limited customers and debtors, the Company uses the loss-rate method to evaluate the expected credit losses on an individual basis. When establishing the loss rate, the Company makes the assessment based on various factors, including historical experience, credit-worthiness of customers and debtors, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from the customers and debtors. The Company also provides specific provisions for allowance when facts and circumstances indicate that a receivable is unlikely to be collected.

Expected credit losses are recorded as allowance for credit losses on the consolidated statements of operations. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. In the event the Company recovers an amount that it previously reserved for, the Company will reduce the specific allowance for credit losses.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest and are due within contractual payment terms, generally 30 to 90 days from completion of service. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, the customer’s credit-worthiness and payment history. Accounts receivable outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. Under the current expected credit loss model, at the end of each period, the Company specifically evaluates each individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to monitor the progress of the collection of accounts receivables. The Company considers the allowance for doubtful accounts for any estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. For receivables that are past due or not being paid according to payment terms, appropriate actions are taken to collect the amounts due, including seeking legal resolution in a court of law. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all reasonable means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company hadno allowance for doubtful accounts.

Advances to Suppliers

The Company makes advances to certain vendors to purchase finished goods and service. The advances are interest-free and unsecured. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had advanced to suppliers $250,794 and $967,173 respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined on a weighted-average basis. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made to write down inventories to market value, if lower.

Property and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which assets become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

Expected useful life
Service yacht10 years
Motor vehicle5 years
Office equipment5 years

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets represent the trademark registered in the PRC and purchased software which are amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 10 years.

The Company follows ASC Topic 350 in accounting for intangible assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. During the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there wereno intangible asset impairments to be recorded.

Deferred revenue

Deferred revenue represents advance payments made by a customer for goods and services the Company will provide in the future. Due to its short-term nature, deferred revenue is usually satisfied within the 12 months.

Revenue recognition

In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, the Company recognizes revenues when goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining when and how revenues are recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognition of revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company derives revenues from processing, distribution, and sales of its products, mainly yachts. The Company recognize its revenue at a point in time when the control of the products has been transferred to customers.

Comprehensive income (loss)

ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components, and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity deficit, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income (loss) is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

Income taxes

Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

The Company is subject to tax in local and foreign jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities.

Foreign currencies translation

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries operating or which operated in the PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong maintain their books and records in their local currency, Renminbi (“RMB”), New Taiwan Dollar (“TWD”) and Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), each of which is a functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets, and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translationof Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the consolidated statements of changes in stockholder’s equity deficit.

Translation of amounts from RMB, TWD and HK$ into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates as of June 30, 2024 and 2023.

June 30, 2024June 30, 2023
Period/year-end RMB:US$ exchange rate-7.2513

Period/year-end TWD:US$ exchange rate32.450031.1400
Period/annual average TWD:US$ exchange rate31.827830.7089

Lease

At the inception of an arrangement, the Company determines whether the arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, lease liabilities and long-term lease liabilities. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. However, certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as prepaid or accrued lease payments. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As a result, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rates, which are the rates incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

In accordance with the guidance in ASC 842, components of a lease should be split into three categories: lease components (e.g., land, building, etc.), non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance, consumables, etc.), and non-components (e.g., property taxes, insurance, etc.). Subsequently, the fixed and in-substance fixed contract consideration (including any related to non-components) must be allocated based on the respective relative fair values to the lease components and non-lease components.

The Company made the policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components. Each lease component and the related non-lease components are accounted for together as a single component.

Noncontrolling interest

The Company accounts for noncontrolling interests in accordance with ASC Topic 810-10-45, which requires the Company to present noncontrolling interests as a separate component of total shareholders’ equity on the consolidated balance sheets and the consolidated net loss attributable to its noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company owned 70% of Wenzhou Jiaxu Yacht Company Limited (“Wenzhou Jiaxu”) prior to August 10, 2022. On August 10, 2022, the noncontrolling shareholder surrendered its 30% of Wenzhou Jiaxu to the Company, and Wenzhou Jiaxu became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Wenzhou Jiaxu was disposed of on July 12, 2023 as a result of the Company’s disposal of Weiguan Ship and its wholly-owned subsidiary Wenzhou Jiaxu (see Note 4).

Net income (loss) per share

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share of common stock is computed similar to basic loss per share of common stock except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common stock were dilutive (see Note 15).

Related parties

Parties, which can be an entity or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

The Company’s principal financial instruments subject to potential concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, including amounts held in money market accounts. The Company places cash deposits with a federally insured financial institution. The Company maintains its cash at banks and financial institutions it considers to be of high credit quality; however, the Company’s domestic cash deposits may at times exceed the insured limit. Balances in excess of insured limitations may not be insured. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding short-term bank borrowing and notes payable): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, income tax payable, amount due to a related party, other payables and accrued liabilities approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of notes payable approximates the carrying amount.

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

● Level 1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;

● Level 2 : Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and

Level 3 : Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Value-Added Tax (“VAT”)

Sellers and service providers are generally obligated to pay business tax for sales of goods or services within Taiwan unless the law provides otherwise. For imported goods, the business tax will be paid by the goods receivers or buyers via customs. For imported services sold by foreign companies to Taiwanese buyers, business tax shall be paid by the service buyers. However, the service buyer (corporate entity) will not be required to pay business tax if it is exclusively engaged in taxable transactions subject to either 5% or 0% VAT.

VAT is applicable to general industries, and the VAT rate is 5%. Under the VAT system, each seller collects output VAT from the buyer at the time of sale, deducts input VAT paid on purchases from output VAT, and remits the balance to the tax authority.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM). In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires disclosures of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024.

The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

NOTE– 3 GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Company had $310,859 of cash and cash equivalents and working capital of approximately $3.2 million as of June 30, 2024, which included accounts receivable from a related party -Weiguan Ship of $0.02 million, accounts receivable from a related party - Jiazhou Yacht of $1.2 million, and amounts due from related parties of $2.5 million, and the Company generated net income of $2.9 million (including $1.87 million gain on disposal of Weiguan ship) during the year ended June 30, 2024. However, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $2.3 million as of June 30, 2024 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $261,488. The Company does not have sustained and stable income, and there is also significant uncertainty inregarding its income for the next 12 months.

The continuation of the Company as a going concern through the one-year period from the date on which this report is filed is dependent upon continued financial support from its related parties or loans or investments by third parties, increasing its sales andthe diversity of its customer base. The Company is actively pursuing additional financing for its operations via potential loans and equity issuances. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain its operations.

Management has determined that the above conditions indicate that it may be probable that the Company would not be able to meet its obligations within one year after the date that this report is issued. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements contained in this report do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. To date the Company has financed its operations primarily through equity investments and loans made by related parties and their affiliates in additional to loans from commercial banks and third parties. The Company may also seek funding through public or private financings, collaborative arrangements, and other possible means of financing.

In addition, the Company will seek to expand the yacht brands the Company can offer for sale, the territories in which the Company markets its yachts and, if appropriate based on the Company’s capabilities and what the Company can offer, seek to become the exclusive distributor for yacht manufacturers in Taiwan and other territories. The Company will also seek to enter other areas related to the marine industry where the Company believes it can be profitable.

NOTE– 4 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On July 12, 2023, Vivic Hong Kong, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Yun-Kuang Kung (Mr. “Kung”) pursuant to which Mr. Kung acquired all of the shares of Weiguan Ship for RMB 1,000 ($137) and the agreement of Mr. Kung to indemnify the Company and its affiliates and hold them harmless from, against and in respect of any and all claims arising out of or related to the business of Weiguan Ship whether arising before or after the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement, whether currently known or unknown, including, without limitation any claims for taxes. Management of the Company elected to dispose of Weiguan Ship due to its history of losses and anticipated losses, and the Company’s potential liability for the amount of the subscribed capital contributions in Weiguan Ship. The Company recorded $1,869,563 gain on disposal of the subsidiary, which was the difference between the selling price of $137 and the carrying value of the net assets deficit of $1,869,426.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the assets and liabilities held for sale presented in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 to the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of the disposed group at the closing date of disposal. There were no material transactions for the disposed group for the period from July 1, 2023 through July 12, 2023, and for the purpose of complying with the Company’s monthly accounting cut-off date, the Company used June 30, 2023 as the date of disposal.
