JERASH HOLDINGS (US), INC

  

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. (“Jerash Holdings”) is a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 20, 2016. Jerash Holdings is a parent holding company with no operations. Jerash Holdings, and its subsidiaries and Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) are herein collectively referred to as the “Company.”

 

Jerash Garments and Fashions Manufacturing Company Limited (“Jerash Garments”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jerash Holdings and was established in Amman, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (“Jordan”), as a limited liability company on November 26, 2000 with a declared capital of 150,000 Jordanian Dinar (“JOD”) (approximately US$212,000) as of June 30, 2021.

 

Jerash for Industrial Embroidery Company (“Jerash Embroidery”) and Chinese Garments and Fashions Manufacturing Company Limited (“Chinese Garments”) were both incorporated in Amman, Jordan, as limited liability companies on March 11, 2013 and June 13, 2013, respectively, each with a declared capital of JOD 50,000 as of June 30, 2021. Jerash Embroidery and Chinese Garments are wholly owned subsidiaries of Jerash Garments.

 

Al-Mutafaweq Co. for Garments Manufacturing Ltd. (“Paramount”) was a contract garment manufacturer that was incorporated in Amman, Jordan, as a limited liability company on October 24, 2004 with a declared capital of JOD 100,000. On December 11, 2018, Jerash Garments and the sole stockholder of Paramount entered into an agreement pursuant to which Jerash Garments acquired all of the outstanding shares of stock of Paramount. Jerash Garments assumed ownership of all of the machinery and equipment owned by Paramount. Paramount had no other significant assets or liabilities and no operating activities or employees at the time of this acquisition, so this transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. As of June 18, 2019, Paramount became a subsidiary of Jerash Garments.

 

Jerash The First for Medical Supplies Manufacturing Company Limited (“Jerash The First”) was incorporated in Amman, Jordan, as limited liability company on July 6, 2020, with a registered capital of JOD 150,000. Jerash The First is engaged in the production of medical supplies in Jordan and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jerash Garments.

 

Victory Apparel (Jordan) Manufacturing Company Limited (“Victory Apparel”) was incorporated as a limited liability company in Amman, Jordan, on September 18, 2005 with a declared capital of JOD 50,000. Victory Apparel has no significant assets or liabilities or other operating activities of its own. Although Jerash Garments does not own the equity interest of Victory Apparel, the Company’s president, director, and significant stockholder, Mr. Choi Lin Hung (“Mr. Choi”), is also a director of Victory Apparel and controls all decision-making for Victory Apparel along with another significant stockholder of Jerash Garments, Mr. Lee Kian Tjiauw (“Mr. Lee”), who has the ability to control Victory Apparel’s financial affairs. In addition, Victory Apparel’s equity at risk is not sufficient to permit it to operate without additional subordinated financial support from Jerash Garments. Based on these facts, the Company concluded that Jerash Garments has effective control over Victory Apparel due to Mr. Choi’s roles at both organizations and therefore Victory Apparel is considered a VIE under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-05-08A. Accordingly, Jerash Garments consolidates Victory Apparel’s operating results, assets, and liabilities.

 

Treasure Success International Limited (“Treasure Success”) was incorporated on July 5, 2016 in Hong Kong, China, for the primary purpose of employing staff from China to support Jerash Garments’ operations and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jerash Holdings.

 

Jiangmen Treasure Success Business Consultancy Company Limited (“Jiangmen Treasure Success”) was incorporated on August 28, 2019 under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“China”) in Guangzhou City of Guangdong Province in China with a total registered capital of 15 million Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”) (approximately $1.9 million) to provide support in sales and marketing, sample development, merchandising, procurement, and other areas. Treasure Success owns 100% of the equity interests in Jiangmen Treasure Success.

 

Jerash Supplies, LLC (“Jerash Supplies”) was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 20, 2020. Jerash Supplies is engaged in the trading of personal protective equipment products and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Jerash Holdings. 

 

The Company is engaged primarily in the manufacturing and exporting of customized, ready-made sport and outerwear and personal protective equipment (“PPE”) produced in its facilities in Jordan and sold in the United States, Jordan, and other countries.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Jerash Holdings, and its subsidiaries and VIE. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. All VIEs with which a company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIEs. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s VIE, Victory Apparel, was inactive for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and the net assets of the VIE were approximately $0.3 million as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s most significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory reserve, useful lives of buildings and other property, and the measurement of stock-based compensation expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Cash

 

The Company’s cash consists of cash on hand and cash deposited in financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with an original maturity of three months or less from the original date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash consists of cash used as security deposits to obtain credit facilities from a bank and to secure customs clearance under the requirements of local regulations. The Company is required to keep certain amounts on deposit that are subject to withdrawal restrictions. These security deposits at the bank are refundable only when the bank facilities are terminated. The restricted cash is classified as a current asset if the Company intends to terminate these bank facilities within one year, and as a non-current asset if otherwise.

 

Short-term Investments

 

From time to time, the Company purchased financial products that can be readily converted into cash and accounted for such financial products as short-term investments. The financial products include money market funds, bonds, and mutual funds. The carrying values of the Company’s short-term investments approximate fair value because of their liquidity. The gain and interest earned are recognized in the consolidated statements of income over the contractual terms of these investments.

 

The Company had no short-term investments as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Accounts Receivable, Net

 

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoiced amount less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company usually grants extended payment terms to customers with good credit standing and determines the adequacy of reserves for doubtful accounts based on individual account analysis and historical collection trends. The Company establishes a provision for doubtful receivables when there is objective evidence that the Company may not be able to collect amounts due. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections. The provision is recorded against accounts receivables balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Actual amounts received may differ from management’s estimate of credit worthiness and the economic environment. Delinquent account balances are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories include cost of raw materials, freight, direct labor and related production overhead. The cost of inventories is determined using the First in, First-out method. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess or slow-moving items and makes provisions as necessary to properly reflect inventory value.

 

Advance to Suppliers, Net

 

Advance to suppliers consists of balances paid to suppliers for services or materials purchased that have not been provided or received. Advance to suppliers for services and materials is short-term in nature. Advance to suppliers is reviewed periodically to determine whether its carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers the assets to be impaired if the performance by the suppliers becomes doubtful. The Company uses the aging method to estimate the allowance for the questionable balances. In addition, at each reporting date, the Company generally determines the adequacy of allowance for doubtful accounts by evaluating all available information, and then records specific allowances for those advances based on the specific facts and circumstances.

 

Property, Plant, and Equipment

 

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost, reduced by accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense related to property, plant, and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the assets, or in the case of leasehold improvements, the shorter of the initial lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method and period of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property, plant, and equipment. The estimated useful lives of depreciation and amortization of the principal classes of assets are as follows:

 

    Useful life
Land   Infinite
Property and buildings   15 years
Equipment and machinery   3-5 years
Office and electronic equipment   3-5 years
Automobiles   5 years
Leasehold improvements   Lesser of useful life and lease term

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company assesses its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Factors which may indicate potential impairment include a significant underperformance relative to the historical or projected future operating results or a significant negative industry or economic trend. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If impairment is indicated, a loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. The fair value is estimated based on the discounted future cash flows or comparable market values, if available. The Company did not record any impairment loss during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from product sales, which consist of sales of the Company’s customized ready-made outerwear for large brand-name retailers and PPE. The Company considers purchase orders to be a contract with a customer. Contracts with customers are considered to be short term when the time between order confirmation and satisfaction of the performance obligations is equal to or less than one year. Virtually all of the Company’s contracts are short term. The Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of promised goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations in contracts with customers upon shipment of the goods. Generally, payment is due from customers within seven to 150 days of the invoice date. The contracts do not have significant financing components. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are not an obligation of the Company. Returns and allowances are not a significant aspect of the revenue recognition process as historically they have been immaterial.

 

The Company also derives revenue rendering cutting and making services to other apparel vendors who subcontract order to the Company. Revenue is recognized when the service is rendered. All of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation satisfied at a point in time and the transaction price is stated in the contract, usually as a price per unit. All estimates are based on the Company’s historical experience, complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, and the Company’s best judgment at the time the estimate is made. Historically, sales returns have not significantly impacted the Company’s revenue.

 

The Company does not have any contract assets since the Company has an unconditional right to consideration when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and payment from customers is not contingent on a future event. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, there was no revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods. As of June 30, 2021, there was no revenue expected to be recognized in any future periods related to remaining performance obligations. 

 

The Company has one revenue generating reportable geographic segment under ASC Topic 280 “Segment Reporting” and derives its sales primarily from its sales of customized ready-made outerwear. The Company believes disaggregation of revenue by geographic region best depicts the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows (see “Note 14—Segment Reporting”).

 

Shipping and Handling

 

Proceeds collected from customers for shipping and handling costs are included in revenue. Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in operating expenses, as a part of selling, general and administrative expenses. Total shipping and handling expenses were $354,165 and $183,913 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Income and Sales Taxes

 

The Company is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled. Jerash Holdings and Jerash Supplies are incorporated/formed in the State of Delaware and is subject to federal income tax in the United States of America. Treasure Success is registered in Hong Kong and has no operating profit. Jiangmen Treasure Success is incorporated in China and is subject to corporate income tax in China. Jerash Garments, Jerash Embroidery, Chinese Garments, Paramount, Jerash The First, and Victory Apparel are subject to income tax in Jordan, unless an exemption is granted. In accordance with Development Zone law, Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries and VIE were subject to corporate income tax in Jordan at a rate of 10% plus a 1% social contribution. The income tax rate increased to 14% plus a 1% social contribution from January 1, 2020. Effective January 1, 2021, income rate increased to 16% and plus a 1% social contribution.

 

Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries and VIE are subject to local sales tax of 16% on purchases. Jerash Garments was granted a sales tax exemption from the Jordanian Investment Commission for the period from June 1, 2015 to June 1, 2018 that allowed Jerash Garments to make purchases with no sales tax charge. The exemption has been extended to February 5, 2022.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the Company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Under this accounting standard, the effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

 8 

 

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Income and Sales Taxes (continued)

 

ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation requires that an entity recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. No significant uncertainty in tax positions relating to income taxes were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar (“US$” or “$”). The Company uses JOD in Jordan companies, HKD in Treasure Success, and Chinese Yuan (“CNY”) in Jiangmen Treasure Success as functional currency of each abovementioned entity. The assets and liabilities of the Company have been translated into US$ using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, equity accounts have been translated at historical rates, and revenue and expenses have been translated into US$ using average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods. Therefore, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

 

The value of JOD against US$ and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in Jordan’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of JOD may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of US$ reporting. The following table outlines the currency exchange rates that were used in creating the consolidated financial statements in this report:

 

    June 30,
2021
    March 31,
2021
 
Period-end spot rate     US$1=JOD0.7090       US$1=JOD0.7090  
      US$1=HKD7.7652       US$1=HKD7.7744  
      US$1=CNY6.4579       US$1=CNY6.5565  
Average rate     US$1=JOD0.7090       US$1=JOD0.7090  
      US$1=HKD7.7655       US$1=HKD7.7527  
      US$1=CNY6.4591       US$1=CNY6.7702  

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures compensation expense for stock-based awards to non-employee contractors and directors based upon the awards’ initial grant-date fair value. The estimated grant-date fair value of the award is recognized as expense over the requisite service period using the straight-line method.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes model. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of the grant as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include the expected term of the option, expected risk-free rates of return, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, and expected dividend yield, each of which is more fully described below. The assumptions for expected term and expected volatility are the two assumptions that significantly affect the grant date fair value.

 

Expected Term: the expected term of a warrant or a stock option is the period of time that the warrant or a stock option is expected to be outstanding.

 

Risk-free Interest Rate: the Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes model on the implied yield at the grant date of the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issued with an equivalent term to the stock-based award being valued. Where the expected term of a stock-based award does not correspond with the term for which a zero-coupon interest rate is quoted, the Company uses the nearest interest rate from the available maturities.

 

  Expected Stock Price Volatility: the Company utilizes the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock over the same period of time as the life of the warrant or stock option.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Stock-Based Compensation (continued)

 

Dividend Yield: Stock-based compensation awards granted prior to November 2018 assumed no dividend yield, while any subsequent stock-based compensation awards will be valued using the anticipated dividend yield.

 

Earnings per Share

 

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS (See “Note 13Earnings per Share”).

 

Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income. The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the financial statements expressed in JOD or HKD or CNY to US$ is reported in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC 825-10 requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

 

The Company considers the recorded value of its financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash, including restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, credit facilities, accounts payable, accrued expenses, income tax payables, other payables, and operating lease liabilities to approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities at June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 based upon the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Concentrations and Credit Risk

 

Credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. As of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively, $4,062,216 and $5,122,292 of the Company’s cash was on deposit at financial institutions in Jordan, where there currently is no rule or regulation requiring such financial institutions to maintain insurance to cover bank deposits in the event of bank failure. As of June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively, $991,784 and $2,036,147 of the Company’s cash was on deposit at financial institutions in China. Cash maintained in banks within China of less than CNY0.5 million (equivalent to $77,420) per bank are covered by “deposit insurance regulation” promulgated by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China. As of June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively, $3,417,235 and $15,622,051 of the Company’s cash was on deposit at financial institutions in Hong Kong, which are insured by the Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board subject to certain limitations. While management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthiness. As of June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively, $61,464 and $81,221 of the Company’s cash was on deposit in the United States and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.

 

Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and derived from revenue earned from customers, and therefore are exposed to credit risk. The risk is mitigated by the Company’s assessment of its customers’ creditworthiness and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances.

 

Customer and vendor concentration risk

 

The Company’s sales are made primarily in the United States. Its operating results could be adversely affected by U.S. government policies on importing business, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and change of local market conditions. The Company has a concentration of its revenue and purchases with specific customers and suppliers. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, two end-customers accounted for 68% and 31% of the Company’s total revenue, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, one end-customers accounted for 78% of the Company’s total revenue, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, two end-customers accounted of 86% and 12% of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, two end-customers accounted for 68% and 24% of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance, respectively.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company purchased approximately 17%, 13%, and 12% of its garments and raw materials from three major suppliers, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company purchased approximately 19% and 10% of its raw materials from two major suppliers, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, accounts payable to the Company’s two major suppliers accounted for 23% and 18% of the total accounts payable balance, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, accounts payable to the Company’s four major suppliers accounted for 19%, 11%, 11%, and 10% of the total accounts payable balance, respectively.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The principal operations of the Company are located in Jordan. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by political, economic, and legal environments in Jordan, as well as by the general state of the Jordanian economy. The Company’s operations in Jordan are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory and social conditions in Jordan. Although the Company has not experienced losses from these situations and believes that it is in compliance with existing laws and regulations including its organization and structure disclosed in Note 1, this may not be indicative of future results.

 

The spread of COVID-19 around the world since March 2020 has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international markets. The Company’s operations were negatively impacted during the first three quarters of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 due to COVID-19 related shutdowns, global logistics disruptions, and order cancelations and shipment delays. However, sales growth resumed in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year and has extended well into the current fiscal year. The Company does not believe the spread of COVID-19 had a significant impact on its operations during the three months period ended June 30, 2021.

 

There is still significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. and international economies. The Company currently expects that its operation results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 would not be significantly impacted by COVID-19. However, given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, should there be resurgence of the COVID-19 cases globally and U.S. government or Jordan government implement new restrictions to contain the spread, the Company’s business would be negatively impacted.

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.

 

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. This ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of the Company’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which amended the effective dates of ASU 2016-13. For public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies (“SRC”) as defined by the SEC, ASU 2016-13 will become effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, ASU 2016-13 will become effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As an SRC, the Company plans to adopt this ASU effective April 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes. It removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this new ASU in April 2021 and the adoption of the new ASU did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 7 – LEASES

 

The Company has 47 operating leases for manufacturing facilities and offices. Some leases include one or more options to renew, which is typically at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options, and, when it is reasonably certain of exercise, it will include the renewal period in its lease term. New lease modifications result in measurement of the right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liability. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. ROU assets and related lease obligations are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term.

 

All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases and primarily include office space and manufacturing facilities.

 

Supplemental balance sheet information related to operating leases was as follows:

 

   June 30,
2021
 
Right-of-use assets  $1,784,817 
      
Operating lease liabilities - current  $519,599 
Operating lease liabilities - non-current   1,055,972 
Total operating lease liabilities  $1,575,571 

 

The weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates for all of operating leases were as follows as of June 30, 2021:

 

Remaining lease term and discount rate:      
       
Weighted average remaining lease term (years)     2.9  
         
Weighted average discount rate     4.06 %

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred total operating lease expenses of $584,737 and $511,773, respectively.

(1) On August 7, 2019 and February 6, 2020, the Company, through Jerash Garments, purchased 12,340 square meters (approximately three acres) and 4,516 square meters (approximately 48,608 square feet) of land in Al Tajamouat Industrial City, Jordan (the “Jordan Properties”), from third parties to construct a factory and a dormitory for the Company’s employees, respectively. The aggregate purchase price of the Jordan Properties was JOD1,177,301 (approximately US$1.7 million).

 

(2) On June 18, 2019, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Paramount, a contract manufacturer based in Amman, Jordan. As a result, Paramount became a subsidiary of Jerash Garments, and the Company assumed ownership of all of the machinery and equipment owned by Paramount. Paramount had no other significant assets or liabilities and no operating activities or employees at the time of acquisition, so this transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition. $980,000 was paid in cash to acquire all of the machinery and equipment from Paramount and the machinery and equipment were transferred to the Company.

 

(3) The construction in progress account represents costs incurred for constructing a dormitory, which was previously planned to be a sewing workshop. This dormitory is approximately 4,800 square feet in the Tafilah Governorate of Jordan. Construction has been temporarily suspended since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The dormitory is expected to be completed and ready for use in fiscal 2022.

Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operation results by the revenue of the Company’s products. The Company’s major product is outerwear. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, outerwear accounted for approximately 98.5% and 93.3% of total revenue, respectively. Based on management’s assessment, the Company has determined that it has only one operating segment as defined by ASC 280.

The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. The Company’s management does not expect any liability from the disposition of such claims and litigation individually or in the aggregate would not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

  

NOTE 16 – INCOME TAX 

 

Jerash Garments, Jerash Embroidery, Chinese Garments, Paramount, Jerash The First, and Victory Apparel are subject to the regulations of the Income Tax Department in Jordan. The corporate income tax rate is 16% for the industrial sector. In accordance with the Investment Encouragement Law, Jerash Garments’ export sales to overseas customers were entitled to a 100% income tax exemption for a period of 10 years commencing on the first day of production. This exemption had been extended for five years until December 31, 2018. Effective January 1, 2019, the Jordanian government reclassified the area where Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries are to a Development Zone. In accordance with the Development Zone law, Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries and VIE began paying corporate income tax in Jordan at a rate of 10% plus a 1% social contribution. The income tax rate increased to 14% plus a 1% social contribution from January 1, 2020. Effective January 1, 2021, this rate increased to 16% plus a 1% social contribution.

 

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. The Tax Act imposed tax on previously untaxed accumulated earnings and profits (“E&P”) of foreign subsidiaries (the “Toll Charge”). The Toll Charge is based in part of the amount of E&P held in cash and other specific assets as of December 31, 2017. The Toll Charge can be paid over an eight-year period, starting in 2018, and will not accrue interest. Additionally, under the provisions of the Tax Act, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, the foreign earnings of Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. taxation at the Jerash Holdings level under the new Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) regime.

 

Interim income tax expenses or benefit is recognized based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based upon the tax rate expected for the full fiscal year applied to the pretax income or loss of the interim period. The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 17.8% and differed from the effective statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0%, primarily due to GILTI adjustments, foreign tax rate differentials, and valuation allowance adjustments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements.” All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to: any projections of earnings, revenue, or other financial items; any statements regarding the adequacy, availability, and sources of capital, any statements of the plans, strategies, and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new products, services, or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “project,” or “anticipate,” and other similar words. In addition to any assumptions and other factors and matters referred to specifically in connection with such forward-looking statements, factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 and in subsequent reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties, such as those disclosed in this Quarterly Report. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.

 

The information included in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes included in this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on June 23, 2021. References to fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations refer to our fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, and fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, respectively.

 

Impact of COVID-19 on our business

 

Collectability of receivables. We had accounts receivable of $19.6 million as of June 30, 2021, out of which $16.3 million had been received through August 10, 2021. Two major customers have started to offer early payment alternatives since May and July 2021, which have shortened payment terms to below 10 days from submission of documents. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for more details.

 

Inventory. We had inventory of $31.3 million as of June 30, 2021, substantially for orders scheduled to be shipped within fiscal 2022.

 

Investments. We acquired two pieces of land in fiscal 2020 for the construction of dormitory and production facilities. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, management previously decided to hold off the construction to wait for a clearer picture on customer demand. As customer orders recovered to a satisfactory level, in April 2021, management decided to resume the preparation work for the dormitory construction, which is expected to be completed and ready for use in fiscal 2022. In June and July 2021, we entered into two Sale and Purchase Contracts to acquire a garment factory and the factory land, which are expected to complete in September and November 2021, respectively. See “Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies—Commitments.”

 

Revenue. For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, our sales were $29.9 million, which represented an approximate 60% increase from that of the same period in fiscal 2021. We continue to proactively communicate with our existing customers to reconfirm their orders and shipment schedules for the rest of fiscal 2022. However, the above is subject to the progress of ongoing reopening of economies in the U.S. and the EU that would significantly impact both order fulfilment and delivery schedules.

 

Liquidity/Going Concern. As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately $8.5 million of cash and cash equivalent and net current assets of approximately $62.6 million with a current ratio of 5.6 to 1. In addition, we had banking facilities with aggregate limits of $3 million with $0 outstanding as of June 30, 2021. Given the above, we believe that we will have sufficient financial resources to maintain as a going concern in fiscal 2022.

 

 20 

 

 

Capital Expenditures. In fiscal 2021, management decided to put on hold the construction projects to retain financial resources to support our operations, and also to wait and see how the global economy and customer demand recover after the COVID-19 pandemic. As customer orders recovered to a satisfactory level, management decided to restart the preparation work for the construction of the dormitory in April 2021. The dormitory is expected to be completed and ready for use in fiscal 2022.

Revenue. Revenue increased by approximately $11.2 million, or 60%, to $29.9 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from approximately $18.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2021. The increase was mainly due to increases in shipments to our two major customers.

Since January 2010, all apparel manufactured in Jordan can be exported to the U.S. without customs duty being imposed, pursuant to the United States-Jordan Free Trade Agreement entered into in December 2001. This free trade agreement provides us with substantial competitiveness and benefit that allowed us to expand our garment export business in the U.S.

 

The increase of approximately 68% in sales to the U.S. during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was mainly attributable to the increase in sales to our two major customers in the U.S. following the stronger demand amid the reopening of the U.S. economy.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, aggregate sales to Jordan and other locations, such as Hong Kong and China, decreased by 61% from approximately $1.1 million to $0.4 million from the same period last year as our factories took up more export orders to the U.S. that typically provide higher profit margin.

 

Cost of goods sold. Following the increase in sales revenue, our cost of goods sold increased by approximately $8.6 million, or 55%, to approximately $24.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from approximately $15.7 million for the same period in fiscal 2021. As a percentage of revenue, the cost of goods sold decreased by approximately 3% points to 81% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 84% for the same period in fiscal 2021. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to higher production and sales volumes in fiscal 2022 as compared to the gradual resumption of operations in the same quarter in 2021 after the national lockdown in Jordan in March 2021, and a higher proportion of export orders that typically provide higher profit margin.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we purchased 17%, 13% and 12% of our garments and raw materials from three major suppliers, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we purchased 19% and 10% of our raw materials from two major suppliers, respectively.

 

Gross profit margin. Gross profit margin was approximately 19% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which increased by 3% points from 16% for the same period in fiscal 2021. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily driven by a higher proportion of export orders that typically have higher profit margin and higher production and sales volumes in fiscal 2022 as discussed above.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by approximately 79% from approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, to approximately $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in production bonus following the increase in production volume, the increase in headcounts in Jordan, China, and Hong Kong to support sales projection, proportional increase in shipment costs due to the increase in sales, and an increase in expenses for COVID-19 precaution and recruitment costs for new migrant workers.

Other income (expenses), net. Other income, net was approximately $36,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to other expenses, net of approximately $3,000 for the same period in fiscal 2021. The increase in income was primarily due to a gain on exchange difference. 

 

Taxation. Income tax expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $418,000 compared to income tax expenses of approximately $342,000 for the same period in fiscal 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate mainly resulted from the increase of net income before tax in Jordan, offsetting the increase of 1% of local tax rate in Jordan. The effective tax rate was down to 17.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 29.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

 

Net income. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $1.9 million compared to net income of approximately $0.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to higher sales volume with better profit margin as discussed above.

   

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We are a holding company incorporated in Delaware. As a holding company, we rely on dividends and other distributions from our Jordanian subsidiaries to satisfy our liquidity requirements. Current Jordanian regulations permit our Jordanian subsidiaries and VIE to pay dividends to us only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Jordanian accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our Jordanian subsidiaries and VIE are required to set aside at least 10% of their respective accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. We have relied on direct payments of expenses by our subsidiaries and VIE (which generate revenue) to meet our obligations to date. To the extent payments are due in U.S. dollars, we have occasionally paid such amounts in JOD to an entity controlled by our management capable of paying such amounts in U.S. dollars. Such transactions have been made at prevailing exchange rates and have resulted in immaterial losses or gains on currency exchange but no other profit.

 

As of June 30, 2021, we had cash of approximately $7.6 million and restricted cash of approximately $0.9 million compared to cash of approximately $21.1 million and restricted cash of approximately $1.7 million as of March 31, 2021. The decrease in total cash was mainly a result of an increase in closing inventory, an increase in accounts receivable, and a decrease in accounts payable.

 

Our current assets as of June 30, 2021 were approximately $62.6 million and our current liabilities were approximately $11.2 million, which resulted in a ratio of approximately 5.6 to 1. As of March 31, 2021, our current assets were approximately $64.7 million and our current liabilities were $14.5 million, resulting in a ratio of 4.5 to 1.

 

The primary driver in the decrease in current assets was the decrease in advance to suppliers. Cash and restricted cash decreased by approximately $14.2 million due to the increase in inventory by approximately $6.3 million and the increase in accounts receivable by $7.5 million, and the payments for capital expenditures of approximately $630,000.

  

The primary driver in the decrease in current liabilities was the decrease in accounts payable by approximately $2.5 million after the requirements for raw material purchases peaked at around April 2021.

 

Total equity as of June 30, 2021 was approximately $58.1 million compared to $56.7 million as of March 31, 2021.

 

We had net working capital of $51.4 million and $50.1 million as of June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that cash on hand and cash generated from operating activities will be sufficient to support our working capital needs for the next 12 months from the date of this Quarterly Report.

 

Since May 2021, we have joined the supply chain financing program of one of our major customers. The program allows us to receive early payments on the invoices we submit electronically through a platform of the customer in seven days after the submission. Cost of the early payment is LIBOR plus 3% per annum. The arrangement allows us to have better liquidity without the need to incur administrative charges and handling fees as in bank financing.

 

We have funded our working capital needs from our operations. Our working capital requirements are influenced by the level of our operations, the numerical and dollar volume of our sales contracts, the progress of execution on our customer contracts, and the timing of accounts receivable collections.

 

Credit Facilities

 

 23 

 

 

HSBC Facility

 

On May 29, 2017, our wholly owned subsidiary, Treasure Success International Limited (“Treasure Success”), entered into a facility letter (“2017 Facility Letter”) with Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (“HSBC”) to provide credit to us, which was first amended by an offer letter between HSBC, Treasure Success, and Jerash Garments and Fashions Manufacturing Company Limited (“Jerash Garments”) dated June 19, 2018 (“2018 Facility Letter”), further amended pursuant to a letter agreement dated August 12, 2019 (the “2019 Facility Letter”), and further amended pursuant to a letter agreement dated July 3, 2020 (the “2020 Facility Letter,” and together with the 2017 Facility Letter, the 2018 Facility Letter, and the 2019 Facility Letter, the “HSBC Facility”). The 2020 Facility Letter extended the term of the HSBC Facility indefinitely, subject to review at any time by HSBC. Pursuant to the HSBC Facility, we had a total credit limit of $11,000,000.

 

The HSBC Facility provided us with various credit facilities for importing and settling payment for goods purchased from our suppliers. The available credit facilities as described in greater detail below included an import facility, import facilities with loan against import, trust receipts, clean import loan, and advances to us against purchase orders. HSBC charged an interest rate of 1.5% per annum over LIBOR or HIBOR, as applicable, for credit related to the release of goods immediately on our documentary credit. HSBC charged a commission of: i) 0.25% for the first $50,000, ii) 0.125% for the balance in excess of $50,000 and up to $100,000, and iii) 0.0625% for balance in excess of $100,000 and an interest rate of 1.5% per annum over LIBOR or HIBOR, as applicable, for credit related to trust receipts whereby HSBC had title to the goods or merchandise released immediately to us. HSBC approved certain of our suppliers that were eligible to use clean import loans. HSBC charged a commission of: i) 0.25% for the first $50,000, ii) 0.125% for the balance in excess of $50,000 and up to $100,000, and iii) 0.0625% for balance in excess of $100,000 and an interest of 1.5% per annum over LIBOR or HIBOR, as applicable, for credit services related to clean import loans or release of the goods or merchandise based on evidence of delivery or invoice. HSBC would advance up to 70% of the purchase order value in our favor. HSBC charged a handling fee of 0.25% and an interest rate of 1.5% per annum over LIBOR or HIBOR, as applicable, for credit services related to advances. Previously, the HSBC Facility was secured by collateral provided by us, Jerash Garments, Treasure Success, and the personal guarantees of Mr. Choi Lin Hung, our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Ng Tsze Lun, one of our significant stockholders. The personal guarantees were released by HSBC in August 2019. Jerash Garments was also required to maintain an account at HSBC for receiving payments from VF Sourcing Asia S.A.R.L. and its related companies.

 

As of June 30, 2021, we had no outstanding balance under the HSBC Facility. Borrowings under the HSBC Facility are due upon demand by HSBC or within 120 days of each borrowing date. On June 30, 2021, we terminated the HSBC Facility with immediately effect.

 

HSBC Factoring Agreement

 

On June 5, 2017, Treasure Success entered into an Offer Letter - Invoice Discounting/Factoring Agreement, and on August 21, 2017, Treasure Success entered into the Invoice Discounting/Factoring Agreement (together, the “2017 Factoring Agreement”) with HSBC for certain debt purchase services related to our accounts receivable. On June 14, 2018, Treasure Success and Jerash Garments entered into another Offer Letter - Invoice Discounting/Factoring Agreement with HSBC (the “2018 Factoring Agreement, and together with the 2017 Factoring Agreement, the “HSBC Factoring Agreement”), which amended the 2017 Factoring Agreement. The HSBC Factoring Agreement was effective through May 1, 2019. Under the terms of the HSBC Factoring Agreement, we could borrow up to $12,000,000. In exchange for advances on eligible invoices from HSBC for our approved customers, HSBC charged a fee to advance such payments at a discounting charge of 1.5% per annum over 2-month LIBOR or HIBOR, as applicable. Such fee accrues on a daily basis on the amount of funds in use. HSBC had final determination of the percentage amount available for prepayment from each of our approved customers. We may not prepay an amount from a customer in excess of 85% of the funds available for borrowing.

 

HSBC also provided credit protection and debt services related to each of our preapproved customers. For any approved debts or collections assigned to HSBC, HSBC charged a flat fee of 0.35% on the face value of the invoice for such debt or collection. We may assign debtor payments that are to be paid to HSBC within 90 days, defined as the maximum terms of payment. We may receive advances on invoices that are due within 30 days of the delivery of our goods, defined as the maximum invoicing period.

 

 24 

 

 

The advances made by HSBC were secured by collateral provided by us, Jerash Garments, and Treasure Success, and the personal guarantees of Mr. Choi and Mr. Ng. If we fail to pay any sum due to HSBC, HSBC may charge a default interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum over the best lending rate quoted by HSBC on such defaulted amount. In addition, to secure the Factoring Agreement, we had granted HSBC a charge of $3,000,000 over our deposits. Following the effectiveness of the 2018 Factoring Agreement, the security collateral of $3,000,000 was released as of January 22, 2019. HSBC released the personal guarantees of Mr. Choi and Mr. Ng in August 2019.

 

The HSBC Factoring Agreement was subject to the review by HSBC at any time and HSBC had discretion on whether to renew the HSBC Factoring Agreement. Either party could terminate the agreement subject to a 30-day notice period. In fiscal 2021, Treasure Success had no transaction or balance in the invoice discounting/factoring facility granted by HSBC. In May 2021, Treasure Success received a letter from HSBC dated March 30, 2021 that the debts purchase services under the HSBC Factoring Agreement between Treasure Success and HSBC were terminated with immediate effect. We had no outstanding balance under the HSBC Factoring Agreement as of June 30, 2021

  

SCBHK Facility Letter

 

Pursuant to the Standard Chartered Hong Kong (“SCBHK”) facility letter dated June 15, 2018, and issued to Treasure Success by SCBHK, SCBHK offered to provide an import facility of up to $3.0 million to Treasure Success. The SCBHK facility covers import invoice financing and pre-shipment financing under export orders with a combined limit of $3 million. Borrowings under the SCBHK facility are due within 90 days of each invoice or financing date. SCBHK charges interest at 1.3% per annum over SCBHK’s cost of funds. In consideration for arranging the SCBHK facility, Treasure Success paid SCBHK HKD50,000. We were informed by SCBHK on January 31, 2019 that the SCBHK facility had been activated. As of June 30, 2021, there was no outstanding balance under the SCBHK facility.

 

Three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

 

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

 

(All amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars)

 

   Three months ended
June 30,
 
   2021   2020 
Net cash used in operating activities  $11,457   $7,567 
Net cash used in investing activities   1,773    242 
Net cash used in financing activities   1,179    566 
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash   (80)   1 
Net decrease in cash   14,329    8,376 
Cash, beginning of three-month period   22,862    26,917 
Cash, end of three-month period  $8,533   $18,541 

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to cash used in operating activities of approximately $7.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2021. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the following factors:

 

  an increase in inventory of $6.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a decrease of $4.6 million in the same period in fiscal 2021;

 

  an increase in accounts receivable of $7.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to an increase of $10.5 million in the same period in fiscal 2021; and
     
  a decrease in advance to suppliers of $2.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to an increase of $1.1 million in the same period in fiscal 2021.

 

 25 

 

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $0.2 million in the same period in fiscal 2021. The net cash used in investing activities in the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 included approximate $1.1 million paid as an acquisition deposit of a garment factory, Kawkab Venus Al Dowalyah for Garment Manufacturing LLC, and $0.6 million used in the acquisition of fixed assets, and $0.1 million payments made for long-term deposits.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, including dividend payments of approximately $0.6 million and repayments of short-term loans of approximately $0.6 million. There was a net cash outflow of $0.6 million in the same period in fiscal 2021 resulting from dividend payments. 

 

Statutory Reserves

 

In accordance with the Corporate Laws in Jordan, our subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“VIE”) in Jordan are required to make appropriations to certain reserve funds, based on net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Jordan. Appropriations to the statutory reserve are required to be 10% of net income until the reserve is equal to 100% of the entity’s share capital. Jiangmen Treasure Success is required to set aside 10% of its net income as statutory surplus reserve until such reserve is equal to 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not available for dividend distribution. The statutory reserve was $346,315 and $212,739 as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

The following table provides the amount of our statutory reserves, the amount of restricted net assets, consolidated net assets, and the amount of restricted net assets as a percentage of consolidated net assets, as of June 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

(All amounts, other than percentages, in thousands of U.S. dollars)

 

   As of
June 30,
 
   2021   2020 
Statutory Reserves  $346   $213 
Total Restricted Net Assets  $346   $213 
Consolidated Net Assets  $58,142   $55,040 
Restricted Net Assets as Percentage of Consolidated Net Assets   0.60%   0.39%

 

Total restricted net assets accounted for approximately 0.6% of our consolidated net assets as of June 30, 2021. As our subsidiaries and VIE in Jordan are only required to set aside 10% of net profits to fund the statutory reserves, we believe the potential impact of such restricted net assets on our liquidity is limited.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

We had capital expenditures of approximately $626,000 and $166,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, mainly for the acquisition of plant and machinery, motor vehicles, and leasehold improvements. Additions in plant and machinery amounted to approximately $260,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, while additions in plant and machinery amounted to approximately $165,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Additions to leasehold improvements amounted to approximately $200,000 and $1,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There were also approximately $270,000 expenditures in acquisition of motor vehicles in the three months ended June 30, 2021 while there was none in the same period in fiscal 2021.

 

In 2015, we commenced a project to build a 4,800 square foot workshop in the Tafilah Governorate of Jordan, which was initially intended to be used as a sewing workshop for Jerash Garments, but which we now intend to use as a dormitory. Construction has been temporarily suspended since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This dormitory is expected to be operational in fiscal 2022 to house management and supervisory staff for the 54,000 square foot workshop in Al-Hasa County. This project is expected to cost approximately $200,000 upon completion.

 

In 2018, we commenced another project to build a 54,000 square foot workshop in Al-Hasa County in the Tafilah Governorate of Jordan, which started operation in November 2019 with approximately 240 workers. Provided that we satisfy certain employment requirements over certain time periods, we do not anticipate incurring any significant costs for the project, which was constructed in conjunction with the Jordanian Ministry of Labor and the Jordanian Education and Training Department. In the event we breach our agreement with these government agencies, we will have to pay such agencies JOD250,000 or approximately $353,000.

On August 7, 2019, we completed a transaction to acquire 12,340 square meters (approximately three acres) of land in Al Tajamouat Industrial City, Jordan, from a third party to construct a dormitory for our employees with aggregate purchase price JOD863,800 (approximately $1,218,303). Management has revised the plan to construct both dormitory and production facilities on the land in order to capture the increasing demand for our capacity. We are conducting engineering design and study on this project and we plan to begin construction in late 2021. On February 6, 2020, we completed a transaction to acquire 4,516 square meters (approximately 48,608 square feet) of land in Al Tajamouat Industrial City, Jordan, from a third party to construct a dormitory for our employee with aggregate purchase price JOD313,501 (approximately $442,162). We expect to spend approximately $8.2 million in capital expenditures to build the dormitory. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, management decided to put on hold the construction project in fiscal 2021 to retain financial resources to support our operations, and also to wait and see how the global economy and customer demand recover after the outbreak. The preparation work resumed in early 2021 and construction work commenced in April 2021. 

 

We project that there will be an aggregate of approximately $27 million of capital expenditures in both the fiscal years ending March 31, 2022 and 2023 for further enhancement of production capacity to meet future sales growth. We expect that our capital expenditures will increase in the future as our business continues to develop and expand. We have used cash generated from operations of our subsidiaries and VIE to fund our capital commitments in the past and anticipate using such funds to fund capital expenditure commitments in the future.

 

Off-balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

 

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our own shares and classified as shareholders’ equity, or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted by the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect our reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and any related disclosures. Although there were no material changes made to the accounting estimates and assumptions in the past three years, we continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from our expectations as a result of changes in our estimates.

 

We believe that our accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application and require us to make significant accounting estimates. Accordingly, the policies we believe are the most critical to understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are summarized in “Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
